The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

Fu Ning sobbed, "I know, I'm not crying for him, I, I, I, I saw you crying, I couldn't hold it back for a moment."

Lin Xi: “???”

"So you're crying because of me?"

"Ah."

Fu Ning nodded very frankly and obediently.

Lin Xi: "...For a moment I didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for your fourth brother..."

"Fourth brother told me that he has a strong life and the King of Hell won't take his life easily, so fourth brother will definitely be fine. But Xixi, you were crying just now, are you scared? Xixi, don't be afraid, fourth brother will be fine, he will lie down and recover his strength, and he will be better soon..."

After listening to Fu Ning's childish speech, Zhou's father finally believed that Fu Ning was really not that smart.

Because any normal person could tell that Fu Huaichuan's words that the King of Hell would not take him away easily were meant to comfort and reassure Fu Ning, but he actually took it seriously, and he seemed to be extremely confident and certain. Qin Wei was no longer surprised by this.

"Xixi, your uncle Zhou and I will stay here to keep watch at night, and you and Ningning..."

"I won't go anywhere until Fu Huaichuan wakes up." Qin Wei was interrupted by Lin Xi before he could finish his words.

Fu Ning: "Me too, I want to stay with Xixi until Fourth Brother wakes up..."

"I asked someone to get two folding beds. If you feel sleepy, you can lie down on them and rest for a while. Qin Wei and I will take turns to keep an eye on Xiao Fu."

Qin Wei wanted to say something, but Zhou's father interrupted him. "It's already very late, so I asked someone to prepare some midnight snacks. Xixi, you should eat something later. Otherwise, it would be shameful to waste food."

Mr. Zhou had wanted to arrange a midnight snack earlier, but Fu Huaichuan was still in the operating room.

He guessed that Lin Xi would not be in the mood to eat before Fu Huaichuan's situation became clear, so he didn't ask anyone to bring any food.

But now that Fu Huaichuan's operation was over and went relatively smoothly, he immediately sent someone to prepare a midnight snack.

He was really hungry after staying up all night.

Soon, the Zhou family brought over a midnight snack.

These are dumplings with soup.

Twenty per person.

Lin Xi was stunned when she saw the big bowl full of dumplings.

"Uncle Zhou, there are too many dumplings. Let me share some with each of you. Ningning can't eat that much at this late hour."

Father Zhou: "Then you keep twelve, and give the remaining eight to me, Qin Wei, and Ning Ning."

"Ten, right?"

"No, it has to be twelve. You didn't eat much for lunch and dinner. If you don't eat more this time, I'm afraid you'll be the one lying in the ward tomorrow."

Under the mandatory request of Zhou's father, Lin Xi finally kept twelve dumplings for himself.

"Xixi, what do you think of the dumplings made by our auntie? Is there anything that needs to be improved?"

“I think it’s pretty good, there’s nothing that needs to be improved.”

"Really? Are you just being polite to me?"

Hearing this, Qin Wei said: "Old Zhou, don't underestimate Xixi because she is a good cook. In fact, she is not picky at all when it comes to food."

Father Zhou: "So you think the dumplings made by our aunt are not delicious?"

Qin Wei: "It's not as good as Xixi's, but it tastes better than mine."

Father Zhou: "Honestly, you and Sang Xiao are both old, how can you have the nerve to stay at Xiao Fu and Xi Xi's house?"

"Isn't it the same with your son?"

"My son is not married, and you are not married either?"

"I'm married, but I think you're jealous of me..."

Lin Xi and Fu Ning had never expected that the two people who looked so unfamiliar to each other before would suddenly start to tremble without any warning.

You were talking back and forth, neither of you showing any intention of giving in to the other.

Fu Ning: ???

"Uncle Qin, are you familiar with Uncle Zhou?"

Qin Wei: “Not familiar.”

Father Zhou: "But I am very familiar with your uncle Qin's eldest brother."

"When your Uncle Qin was little, he cried and begged us to take him to play with us."

"Did you take Uncle Qin out to play?" Fu Ning asked.

Father Zhou chuckled and said, "No."

"Ah~"

Fu Ning's delicate little face suddenly wrinkled into a ball.

"Aren't you all as annoying as my second brother? I used to love to stick to my second brother, but he never took me to play with him. Only my fourth brother would not despise me for being stupid and take me to play wild everywhere..."

Just as Zhou's father was about to speak, he heard hurried footsteps accompanied by an unfamiliar male voice.

"Ningning, has your second brother ever told you not to speak ill of others behind their backs?"

Fu Ning: ???

"Xixi, who was talking just now?"

Lin Xi raised his chin slightly and pointed at the person who came and said, "You will know if you turn around and take a look, right?"

Fu Ning: "I don't want to watch it."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to help but fight with him."

"Yo, have you learned how to fight?"

Fu Boyan stretched out his hand to touch Fu Ning's head, but Fu Ning dodged it swiftly and hit him on the head with a "bang".

"You can touch my head too?"

"Ningning's temper has gotten worse after not seeing her for a few years!" Fu Boyan was not angry even though he was beaten.

He smiled and said to Lin Xi, Qin Wei and Zhou's father: "Hello, I am Fu Boyan, the second brother of Fu Ning and Fu Huaichuan."

"Why did you come to Kyoto instead of doing research in a remote corner?"

Without waiting for Lin Xi and the others to reply, Fu Ning suddenly turned around and glared at Fu Boyan angrily.

"You still know that you are our second brother. I thought you really disowned our whole family like mom said."

"Ningning, stop talking nonsense!" Lin Xi scolded in a low voice.

Fu Ning frowned and said unhappily, "Xixi, let's not acknowledge him. Let him go with his beloved wife. We are insignificant to him anyway. Daddy got into trouble, and Mommy sent them so many telegrams, but they are as good as dead. There is no news at all. If you don't know, you would think that the whole family is doing research!"

After saying that, Fu Ning said sarcastically: "Hello, you guys are nothing. You don't even recognize Fourth Brother's wife. Are your eyes for decoration?"

It was the first time that Qin Wei knew that Fu Ning actually had such a sharp tongue, but it also showed that Fu Ning was really resentful towards his second brother who was a researcher. It was so resentful that he didn't even bother to save face for his second brother. After all, Fu Ning was usually the most well-behaved, sensible and polite person.

Fu Boyan didn't expect Fu Ning to be so resentful of him, but he didn't expect that the fourth son's wife was so young and beautiful.

"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Fu Boyan. It's the first time we meet. I'm sorry if I'm rude."

Lin Xi shook the hand that Fu Boyan extended to him and said, "It's okay. After all, I'm not necessarily very polite to my second brother."
