Li Junjie didn't get the question he wanted to ask. As a result, he got two big grains of sand in his eyes and ran away.
Zhou Xuan glanced at Fu Ying. Fu Ying's annoyed expression hadn't disappeared yet. As soon as Zhou Xuan looked at her, the blush returned to his face. The shyness from before came back. He really wanted to have a good kiss with her, but his cousin had interrupted him. He no longer had that feeling. Besides, he was too shy to resist!
Zhou Xuan glanced at her and saw that Fu Ying's face was almost flushed red, even her neck. She immediately panicked and darted towards the door. In her haste, she bumped into the doorway again with a loud "bang!"
Zhou Xuan merely frowned, feeling both love and pity for Fu Ying. Fu Ying was far too shy, bumping into things at this doorway twice in a row. He felt sorry for her, even though she wasn't in pain!
He had only stayed at the Fu residence for two nights, including today, and he didn't know Fu Ying's room. Judging from the footsteps just now, Fu Ying hadn't come downstairs, so she should be in a room on the third floor.
Zhou Xuan circulated his ice energy. After several days of rest, the golden ice energy ability in his left hand had almost returned to its previous peak, and even seemed to have improved further.
After circulating the energy several times, Zhou Xuan released the ice energy without any restriction. Instantly, the scenes and events within a 15-16 meter radius around him appeared clearly in his mind.
Fu Ying's room was separated from Zhou Xuan's by one room, and was the third room from the right. At this moment, Fu Ying was sitting on the bed in a daze, her forehead slightly red and swollen. Zhou Xuan could detect that there was still some swelling.

Xinying sat there blankly for a while, then took off her shoes and sat on the bed. Shuangnian rested her chin on her hand and put down her hands.
Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, circulated his icy energy through Fu Ying's body several times, and eliminated the redness and swelling on her forehead. Looking at her, he felt both heartache and joy. He sighed and then withdrew his icy energy.
He got up early the next morning and went downstairs. Yu Ji told him that the tailor arranged by the master was waiting in the living room.
When Zhou Xuan entered the living room, Fu Tianlai and Fu Yuhai were already there, along with a foreign woman in her late twenties. Fu Ying was talking to her when she saw Zhou Xuan come in and immediately waved him over, saying, "Zhou Xuan, come here quickly! The tailor that Grandpa arranged is here. Take our measurements quickly, we need it for tomorrow!"
Zhou Xuan walked over and said with a smile, "Why go through all that trouble to invite them to our home? Why not just buy something ready-made at a clothing store?"
"Grandpa arranged it, why are you asking so many questions!" Fu Ying said with a smile, "Grandpa is the most important person in the world!"
Fu Tianlai laughed and scolded, "You're the most disobedient girl, always saying that Grandpa is the most important. When have you ever listened to Grandpa? Besides, Grandpa isn't a dictator. Don't make Grandpa sound so terrible!"
Fu Ying stuck out her tongue and laughed, "You misspoke. Great-Grandma is the oldest, even older than Grandpa!"
Fu Yuhai stamped his foot. "Heng said, 'If Grandpa is the eldest, why did you call your little friend away and not let him play chess with Grandpa?'"
Both Zhou Xuan and Fu Ying blushed. Zhou Xuan looked embarrassed, but Fu Ying insisted, "Grandma, Zhou Xuan had a headache last night!"
"Whether it's a headache or not, Grandma knows what's going on!" Fu Yuhai snorted, speaking angrily. Fu Ying wouldn't have it. She ran over, grabbed Fu Yuhai's arm, and shook it, saying reproachfully, "Grandma, you're not allowed to be angry with Zhou Xuan. It was my idea to stop him from playing chess, it has nothing to do with him. Grandma, if you keep getting angry, I'll get angry!"
Fu Yuhai couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not angry with him, I'm angry with you, you little rascal!"
Fu Ying sighed and said softly, "Yes, I'm the punching bag for my family. Everyone takes their anger out on me. I have such a miserable life!"
At this moment, Li Junjie entered the living room and, upon hearing Fu Ying's words, laughed and said, "Yingying, are you unlucky? Are you a punching bag? I think you're the jinx of the family. It's a blessing if others don't put up with your temper. How can you put up with it?"
"Cousin!" Fu Ying called out angrily, "Cousin, come with me to the backyard, I need to talk to you about something!"
Li Junjie waved his arms and suddenly jumped behind Fu Tianlai, saying urgently, "No way! I'd rather die than go!" Seeing Fu Ying angrily walking towards him, he added, "Last night I went to Zhou Xuan's room..."
Fu Ying froze for a moment, then blushed and stopped in her tracks, becoming shy and bashful. If Li Junjie told her about what he saw between her and Zhou Xuan last night, she would be so embarrassed!
Embarrassed, she naturally forgot about dragging Li Junjie to the backyard.
Zhou Xuan was being measured by the foreign woman when he heard Li Junjie's words, and his heart skipped a beat. He secretly glanced at him.
Fu Tianlai smiled, finding it amusing to see Fu Ying blush and feel embarrassed. He asked, "What did you do in Zhou Xuan's room last night?"
Fu Ying bit her lip, her pretty eyes fixed intently on Li Junjie, looking both anxious and embarrassed, as if afraid he would say something.
Li Junjie chuckled, then said in a serious tone, "Last night I went to talk to Zhou Xuan, but as soon as I entered his room, two big grains of sand flew into my eyes. Ouch, those were two really big grains of sand!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then Li Junjie said, "Cousin, I've heard that getting sand in your eye can cause a sty. What do you think about that?"
"Cousin!" Fu Ying scolded, stomping her foot hard!
After Zhou Xuan finished measuring the back of his head, his face calmed down a bit. Looking at Fu Ying's shy demeanor, he found it amusing and laughed, "Cousin Junjie, you have a sty? I have a friend in Shenzhen named Yang Wei who's the best at treating this. I'll ask her to come and take a look when you have time."
"Hehe!" Li Junjie immediately shut his mouth and obediently stayed to the side.
Fu Ying was overjoyed, thinking to herself that Zhou Xuan wasn't stupid after all. He had remembered it after just a casual mention last time. Yang Wei had always liked Li Junjie, but this cousin seemed uninterested in girls and only interested in adventure and travel. His grandfather always scolded him, saying that he was not doing anything productive and was nothing like his cousin Johnny!
Thinking of Johnny, Fu Ying sighed again. Although Li Junjie seemed carefree and irresponsible, he wasn't a bad person at heart, nor was he particularly greedy for money. She had always heard him say that his father's earnings were enough for him to live on for several lifetimes, and his grandfather had even given him shares. He was destined to enjoy a life of comfort from a young age. He was content with having enough money, so why work so hard? Besides, no matter how much money you have, can you take it with you when you die?
Back then, the whole family scolded this cousin, saying he was good-for-nothing and only knew how to have fun. But now it seems that it might not be such a bad thing. According to him, the family had enough money anyway, and he was destined to enjoy life. Let him have fun. Instead of working hard like his older cousin Johnny, he was obsessed with pursuing wealth and status, to the point that he could even harm his closest relatives. Is this what it means to be good? Is this what it means to be successful?
Li Junjie looked a little embarrassed. He walked to Zhou Xuan's side, lowered his head, and said softly, "I always thought you were an honest guy, but it turns out you were just pretending!"
The foreign woman measured Zhou Xuan's figure, respectfully bid farewell to Fu Tianlai, and then whispered a few words to Fu Ying before leaving.
Fu Ying said, "Grandpa, she said the store has several suitable sets that can be delivered tomorrow, while the custom-made sets will take a week."
.
Fu Tianlai waved his hand, "That's their business. Yingying, did you go out early this morning and bring the medicine over?"
Fu Ying smiled and picked up a small bag from the table, saying, "Here you are. He can start treatment as soon as my second uncle gets up!"
Zhou Xuan took the bag, opened it, and bit her lip to suppress a laugh. The bag contained about ten of those dark, earthy herbal pills for treating injuries, each as big as a ping-pong ball, with a strong medicinal smell.
Fu Ying went to Liu Qingyuan's place to ask her second senior brother for these medicines. Her master was the head of the martial arts school, so naturally he always kept these medicines for treating injuries. She used them to treat her second aunt's husband Li Tao's broken leg. The medicine wasn't used indiscriminately, but it just happened to cover up for Zhou Xuan.
Li Junjie was a little surprised and asked, "Zhou Xuan, you can treat illnesses? I've never seen that before!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "My master is an old Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain. Besides learning some martial arts from him, I also learned some medical skills. It's passable!"
As she spoke, Li Junjie pushed her husband's wheelchair out. Seeing that the family was all in the living room, she said calmly, "They're all here. That's perfect. Let Zhou Xuan treat his second aunt's husband!"
Fu Zheng thought that timing was everything, so she took advantage of the fact that the whole family was present and everyone was watching. Even if Zhou Xuan acted recklessly, it wouldn't go too far.
