It was Xu Qu who responded in time: "Huanhuan heard that my aunt was not feeling well, so she came with me to visit her."

After Xu Qu's words came out, the aunt had to restrain her expression. Although she felt awkward, she couldn't say anything else.

It was not the first time that Huanhuan had experienced the rudeness of her aunt. She quickly came to her senses and no longer took it to heart. At this time, she just looked at Xie Jin curiously. Xie Jin looked normal and bowed slightly to Huanhuan. Huanhuan also returned the greeting. At this time, Huanhuan remembered that Xie Jin lived in her aunt's yard.

Xu Qu went forward and sat where Xie Jin had just sat, and stretched out his hand to his aunt and said, "Aunt, please stretch out your hand, I will take your pulse."

The aunt stretched out her hand, and Xu Qu pressed her wrist and concentrated on taking her pulse. For a moment, everyone was quiet, and it felt like one could hear a pin drop in the house.

Xu Qu felt the pulse for a while, his brows gradually furrowed. Finally, he withdrew his hand, looked at his aunt and said, "Aunt, I am just a quack doctor with little knowledge and can't tell what's wrong. What's wrong with you? Or should we send someone to ask Doctor Shi? Don't delay the treatment."

The eldest aunt combed her hair and said in a controlled tone, "No need. I just felt dizzy and panicky. I'm fine now. I guess I was too tired today."

Xu Qu said with concern: "The weather has been cold recently, so you must keep warm and don't overwork. If you are tired, it will be difficult to resist cold. You should rest more, and we..." Xu Qu said as he pretended to say goodbye.

The eldest aunt quickly turned the hand that had just been used to feel Xu Qu's pulse over, and grabbed Xu Qu's hand that was about to clasp together in a bow, interrupting Xu Qu and saying, "My nephew is the one who cares about me. I am comforted. I have been strong all my life, but I have to admit it. Alas, I am old, and I will be satisfied if my relatives can accompany me more and chat with me."

After hearing this, Xu Qu couldn't bring up the idea of leaving again, so he had to change his tone and comfort her: "Don't think too much, aunt, I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable, it's nothing serious."

The eldest aunt smiled lovingly and said, "Alas, recently I keep thinking about the past, and your father, my poor brother. If it weren't for that bowl of soup back then, how could your fate be like this now?" As she spoke, the eldest aunt held Xu Qu's hand even tighter, and with her other hand she picked up a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

After my aunt said this, everyone fell silent, and a sad atmosphere enveloped the whole house for a moment.

Then the eldest aunt sighed again and said, "Hey, I'm really old, why am I talking to you about this. As for me, seeing you and Bihua in front of me reminded me of your childhood. Back then, you were about to get engaged..."

At this time, Xu Qu said in a voice that was not loud enough for everyone in the room to hear: "Why bring up the past? Aunt, don't be too sad right now. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."

Xu Qu's tone was calm, but alarm bells were ringing in her heart. She suddenly felt that today's incident seemed not simple.

"Oh, you two were so close back then. I remember there was a rare heavy snow that year. You were so happy that you played in the snow regardless of the cold. Your heads were covered with snow, and you even said that you would grow old together." After saying this, the eldest aunt glanced at Huan Huan quickly, then lowered her eyes with satisfaction, and pretended to cover the corners of her mouth that could not help but rise with a silk handkerchief.

What is Huanhuan like now that makes her aunt so satisfied?

Her beautiful eyes were wide open, and the usual tenderness in them had disappeared completely, replaced by a mixture of shock and intense jealousy, and her chest was heaving violently.

She felt the blood rushing up, making her dizzy and her ears buzzing. She felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and she couldn't help but touch her chest. She also wanted to open her mouth and take a deep breath like a fish floating on the water before the rain, but she couldn't open her mouth and her throat couldn't make any sound.

Xu Qu had no expression on his face, and said calmly, "Aunt is indeed overworked and her mind is disturbed. I have some pills that can calm the nerves and relieve fatigue. I'll go back and get them for you."

After saying this, he quickly pulled out the hand held by his aunt before she could react, stood up, turned around and said to Huanhuan, "Let's go back and get medicine for your aunt."

Huanhuan just stood there in a daze without any reaction. Xu Qu grabbed Huanhuan's hand and walked out without looking back, saying, "Aunt, we'll go back first." As he walked, he had already stepped out of the bedroom threshold.

Was the eldest aunt who stayed in the house angry at this series of somewhat rude behaviors?

No.

She seemed to have anticipated this reaction. Instead, she looked at Xu Qu's back and smiled smugly. Then, she said meaningfully to Xie Jin, who had been standing silently by the side, "Am I right? Looking at this reaction, how could Qu'er have forgotten? You have always been unique in his heart."

Xie Jin didn't say anything, but just smiled politely at his aunt, then silently watched Xu Qu and his backs until they disappeared from his sight.

Huanhuan was dragged by Xu Qu all the way until he returned to the main hall of Xinyuan and was forced to sit on a seat by Xu Qu, which was when he came to his senses.

She saw Xu Qu enter the study and quickly come out, and said to her, "Come on, follow me to deliver the pills." There was no room for negotiation in his tone.

He took a long breath and said weakly but firmly: "No!"

Xu Qu stood there in silence. After a while, he said in a negotiating tone, "It's so late, come with me." If you listen carefully, there is a hint of pleading in his tone.

Huanhuan seemed to be determined and simply refused: "No! Go by yourself!"

Xu Qu stood there speechless. After a while, he opened the door forcefully and shouted outside, "Youcheng! Youcheng, come here quickly!"

After a while, Cheng appeared in front of Xu Qu outside the door, running and jumping while adjusting his clothes.

Xu Qu suppressed his anger and said, "Go and give the pills to my aunt. Tell her it's getting late and I'll visit her another day."

Youcheng didn't know what was going on, but he knew it was not a good thing just by looking at Xu Qu's expression. He hurriedly took the paper bag of pills and agreed submissively, "Okay, okay, sir." Then he ran away like a rabbit, away from this unprovoked right and wrong.

When Xu Qu turned around, he wanted to say something to Huanhuan, but he only said the word "Xuanhuan" and stopped.

It turned out that Huanhuan had already quickly washed up and went to bed while Xu Qu was calling Youcheng, waiting for Youcheng, and talking to Youcheng...

Xu Qu stood there silently for a while, and finally, with a helpless look on his face, he washed up and rested.

Huanhuan was sleeping with her back to Xu Qu. After Xu Qu lay down, he gently called Huanhuan twice. When there was no response, he could only sigh in grievance and went to sleep.

It wasn't just Xu Qu who felt aggrieved. Huan Huan here was also pouting and biting his lips, listening quietly to Xu Qu's breathing which gradually became even.

Guessing that Xu Qu was indeed asleep, she slowly turned her head and looked at him lovingly, looking at his eyebrows, his fluttering eyelashes, his nose and his mouth. She looked at him for a long time, as if she could never see enough. Finally, she simply reached out and gently touched Xu Qu's fingertips.

She blinked slowly and said softly, "I thought you were deep and reserved, but I didn't expect you could say such things." After that, she looked at Xu Qu quietly, as if waiting for a response.

Of course Xu Qu, who was asleep, would not respond.

After a long silence, he supported himself with his hands, raised his upper body and said to Xu Qu earnestly, "I'm not trying to sow discord. She abandoned you because she loved power. Don't think about someone who can't share the hardships with you. Cherish the person in front of you, understand?"

She stared at Xu Qu for a while, and thinking of how good Xu Qu had been to her in the past, her heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.

Suddenly Xu Qu scratched his nose with his hand, turned over, and sat up slowly and straight in shock.

After a while, seeing that Xu Qu didn't move, he slowly lay down and fell asleep as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
