Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Xiao Jingting said he was just passing by, but he had already walked inside consciously.

Fu Runing followed behind him.

The two of them walked into the house one after the other without saying a word.

Suddenly Xiao Jingting turned around and asked casually in an indistinct tone, "Does your neighbor next door often come to visit?"

Fu Runing then looked up at him. Feng Yan came to visit for serious business.

"Not often. We're just next-door neighbors, and we only visit once in a while. Besides, my parents are all home, so there's nothing shameful about it."

She and Feng Yan have known each other for many years, nothing like him and that sweet sister.

Xiao Jingting lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment. He really didn't want to hear her mention this neighbor next door whom she had known for a long time, so he didn't say anything else.

He saw Duoduo running in with its tail wagging and the wooden sculpture in its mouth. When he saw the wooden sculpture toy clearly, his eyes became somewhat intriguing.

Xiao Jingting stopped, bent down and reached out to touch Duoduo's head, which scared the dog so much that it took three steps back.

His hand was in mid-air and he didn't know whether to retract it or put it down.

Seeing this, Fu Runing called Duoduo to her side and patted her round little butt. "You see, this person is so unpleasant that he doesn't even like dogs. And yet he still wants to fight with me for the custody of the dog. Even the dog won't choose you."

Xiao Jingting stared at the wooden toy that Duoduo was holding in her mouth. He withdrew his hand and asked casually, "What is this?"

Fu Runing took a look and said, "It's just a dog toy. It doesn't know where it found it. It's been chewed to pieces."

Xiao Jingting saw that her tone and expression were normal, and the complicated emotions in her eyes disappeared, without any strange look.

He casually said, "You often buy a lot of things and don't remember them."

Fu Runing felt that he was just making small talk and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Not long after, Fu Jinbei came back and saw Xiao Jingting here. He greeted him with a smile and said, "Jingting is here to pick up Ningning. Let's have dinner at home before leaving."

Xiao Jingting responded.

I don’t know whether he responded to the first sentence or the second sentence.

……

In the kitchen, Wen Lan was stewing soup. Fu Jinbei quietly took a bag of medicinal herbs in and told his wife to remember to add them when stewing the soup later.

"What is this?"

Wen Lan looked at the strange bag of medicinal herbs in front of him and frowned in disgust.

Fu Jinbei lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry about it. As long as it works, I'll go get a good prescription from the doctor."

Wen Lan hesitated and said, "Can I drink this?"

Fu Jinbei said firmly: "Yes, of course not. Jingting is a child whose father doesn't love him and whose stepmother doesn't love him. Besides, men need to save face. If we, as elders, don't help him, who else will?"

An hour later, Wen Lan asked everyone to sit down and have dinner.

Fu Runing distributed chopsticks to everyone, sniffed her nose, and said curiously, "Second Aunt, is the soup burnt today?"

Wen Lan answered naturally: "No."

Fu Runing sniffed again, "Why does it smell like burnt food..."

She still thought it tasted strange.

Fu Jinbei personally picked up the soup bowl and filled it for Xiao Jingting. "Jingting, try this. I specially asked your second aunt to stew it for you."

Xiao Jingting reached out to take it and said thank you in a light voice, "Thank you, second uncle and second aunt."

Fu Runing glanced at the color of the soup in his bowl. Not only did it smell outrageous, but why did the color also look so outrageous?

She said with disgust: "Second Uncle, what kind of dark cuisine are you making? Are you using Jingting as a guinea pig?"

After saying that, she took the bowl from Xiao Jingting's hand and took a sip herself.

Just as she was about to try the flavor again, Fu Jinbei immediately reached out and took her bowl away. "This is chicken soup with some medicinal herbs added. It's not suitable for women. You and Second Aunt can drink the other one, and this is for Jingting."

Fu Runing frowned and said disdainfully, "I don't even want to drink it."

So the bowl of soup was put back in front of Xiao Jingting.

Fu Jinbei watched him drink it with a smile on his face.

Fu Runing saw Xiao Jingting drink up the bowl of strange-tasting soup. After the bowl was empty, his second uncle gave him another bowl and urged him to continue drinking.

Xiao Jingting did not refuse and just drank two bowls of soup.

Fu Runing watched from the side and felt she had seen enough.

She knew that Xiao Jingting was not picky about food, but he couldn't be so picky, right?

Even if it is a buffalo, it cannot be made like this.

Seeing Fu Jinbei pick up the empty bowl to fill it with soup, Fu Runing quickly stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey, second uncle, people at the table are offering wine, why are you offering soup?"

"Why are you urging me to drink? I can't drink outside, but how can I drink at home? I need to stay healthy!"

After Fu Jinbei finished speaking, he poured another bowl of soup and placed it next to Xiao Jingting. He smiled and said, "This soup must be drunk while it's hot. If it's cold, it will taste strong and you will find it even harder to drink."

Xiao Jingting's expression became a little strange for a moment, but he did not express any objection.

Fu Runing, however, couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Second Uncle, what is the effect of this soup?"

Fu Jinbei glanced at her and said, "Don't ask into the affairs of the old man, women."

Fu Runing was stunned. She looked at the bowl of light brown soup in confusion. This...

Could this be the prescription that my second uncle wrote from his unreliable little clinic?

Fu Runing now looked at his second uncle's expression, the way he held the bowl, it was exactly a picture of "Da Lang, drink your medicine".

Fu Jinbei continued to talk to Xiao Jingting as if he was presenting a treasure: "Jingting, listen to me. If you like it, your uncle will make this soup for you next time."

Just as Xiao Jingting was about to speak, he felt a pain in his foot. He said calmly, his expression unchanged, "Thank you, Second Uncle."

"That's right. If you can't finish it, take it home and heat it up in a casserole to continue drinking."

Fu Jinbei seemed very satisfied with Xiao Jingting's attitude. He really liked this son-in-law more and more.

It's just that you don't have children. No matter it's due to physiological reasons or some unspeakable reasons, the medicine will definitely cure it.

Under the dining table, Fu Runing took off her slippers and only wore socks. She stepped on Xiao Jingting's instep and exerted great force, trying her best to remind him that this was not a proper soup.

If anything goes wrong from drinking, it's not her fault.

As a result, after dinner, Xiao Jingting was forced to drink three bowls of soup by Fu Jinbei's kind words.

My goodness, this is simply a gender-reversed version of the daughter-in-law being forced to take medicine by the evil mother-in-law because she can't have children.

Sometimes Fu Runing felt that Xiao Jingting was easy to talk to, and he seemed unlikely to refuse in front of her family.

After the marriage, all the necessary etiquettes were followed, and he went to her house more often than he went back to Xiyuan.

Xiao Jingting did a good job on the surface, and his second uncle always thought he was a good son-in-law.

The sky darkened, it started to rain outside, and spring thunder rumbled.

Duoduo was afraid of the thunder and buried his head in the sofa while his second aunt stroked his fur.

"Ningning, why don't you and Jingting not go back tonight? Look how scared the child is. Why don't you stay here for one night?"

After hearing what her second aunt said, Fu Runing looked out the window. It was raining really heavily.

Xiao Jingting probably drank too much soup and just came out of the bathroom when he heard this.

Of course he had no objection to staying.

……

In the evening, Fu Runing communicated with Lawyer Zhuang again on WeChat.

In fact, Lawyer Zhuang said this afternoon that he still recommends a private settlement on this matter. After all, if a fight really breaks out, the time and energy costs wasted will be bad for Jian Heng, after all, the other party is a public figure.

Of course, this is just a suggestion, which is the easiest way. If there really comes a lawsuit, they will certainly join in, and they are not at a disadvantage.

Fu Runing heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop. She hurriedly ended her chat with Lawyer Zhuang, stuffed her phone under her pillow, put on earplugs and went to sleep.

While lying on the bed, Fu Runing couldn't help but wonder, did Xiao Jingting still not know that Rong Ruo was going to sue Jian Heng?

Or maybe he had long forgotten who Jian Heng was. In his eyes, he was just a random passerby and was unimportant.

How could it be more important than his beloved sister being wronged?

Fu Runing closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but she felt very annoyed when she heard the thunder outside the window.

When Xiao Jingting got on the bed, no one knew what he was doing. He kept tossing and turning restlessly.

She became even more irritable.

After enduring it again and again, Fu Runing could no longer bear it. She turned over, took off her earplugs, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"

Only then did she realize that Xiao Jingting was not even covered with a blanket.

The bedside lamp on his side was still on. In the light, Fu Runing saw a layer of fine beads of sweat on the man's forehead.

Fu Runing was puzzled. Didn’t he just take a shower? Why was he so hot again?

She sat up and poked the man's shoulder with a finger. "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Jingting looked at her with a complicated look.

He frowned and was silent for a long while before he said, "Those three bowls of soup from your second uncle were really powerful."
