Chapter 727 - 701: This Girl Is Really Nice
Liao Fugui saw Shuixian and nodded to greet her as he recognized her.
Liumei noticed he was carrying a lot of things and guessed they were for Qian, so she said enviously,
"You’re bringing things for my sister-in-law again. I really admire the warmth in your family."
Every time Liao Fugui visited, he would bring plenty of things for Qian, some were sent by Jia Xiufang, and others he bought himself, which was a treat for foodie Liumei living with Qian.
"This is for you." Fugui handed a rather large package to Liumei, who was surprised and exclaimed, "Why is mine bigger than my sister-in-law’s?"
Shuixian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, glanced over at the suddenly mindful Liumei, and the somewhat shy Fugui. Between these two... tsk tsk tsk!
Favoring love over family, it’s a common trait among men, and Fugui is no exception.
Qian had mentioned yesterday that Liumei seemed troubled, so he stole his dad’s stash to cheer her up, and seeing her smile lifted his spirits.
"Qian’er said you’ve been a bit hot-tempered lately. You should drink this flower, and there’s this too." He pulled out a beautiful glass cup, shaped like a chubby penguin with a sleeve to prevent burns, and even a small plum blossom embroidered on it!
"Wow, why buy me a cup?" Liumei instantly adored it, such a cute cup!
"Making tea with such big chrysanthemums in a glass cup looks nice, and you can enjoy the flowers blooming in the water while savoring the floral scent."
"Why don’t you give it to my sister-in-law?" Liumei felt a bit embarrassed to accept so many things from him.
"She doesn’t need it... Minglang buys her everything." He thought maybe she didn’t have this kind of cup, so he bought one casually.
Noticing Liumei’s hesitation, Fugui finally thought of a perfect reason.
"It’s from my workplace! Yes, it’s a benefit!"
He was so proud of himself, so clever!
"Wow, such great employee benefits!"
"Yeah, we have good benefits in the system, they often give us things, even stuff for female colleagues, which I can’t use. Qian’er has plenty too, so can you help me use some?"
This reason was perfect, without any flaws! Lil fireworks bloomed in Liao Fugui’s heart, feeling very accomplished for not only finding an excuse to give gifts but also laying the groundwork for future presents!
As for why he wanted to give things, that’s a deeper question he hadn’t figured out yet; he just felt handing things to soft people made him especially happy, more than using them himself.
"This... isn’t right?" Liumei knew the simple truth of not taking rewards without effort.
"It’s right! Absolutely right! Otherwise, it’ll just sit there with me unused. Our workplace leader is quite frivolous, always giving us things for women that we don’t need. If you don’t take it, I’ll have to throw it away."
To give away some things, even slandering his boss as frivolous, Fugui was relentless.
Shuixian originally just wanted to watch the show silently, but seeing Liao Fugui come up with such far-fetched reasons, she couldn’t help but playfully join in.
"Why not give it to me, I don’t have a water cup either."
Fugui was racking his brain thinking of ways for Liumei to accept it, so he was surprised hearing Shuixian suddenly say this.
Seeing him look at her with beady eyes, Shuixian could hardly contain her laughter inside, but outwardly maintained an indifferent facade.
"Just kidding, I don’t need a cup either. Give it to Liumei."
"Then I’ll accept it. But I can’t take it for free..."
"It’s not for free!" Fugui got so anxious that his face turned red. In their back-and-forth of politeness, they didn’t even notice Qian opening the door and walking out.
Shuixian hurriedly waved her over, inviting Qian to sit, feeling it’d be a shame to miss this show!
Qian sat beside Shuixian, feeling an unusual vibe. Her juicy young Bam of a stepbrother was going back and forth with her.
With a face radiating innocence akin to a lovesick youth, Fugui was all peachy, and Liumei, usually cheerful, was now acting all shy like a silly girl.
Tsk, tsk!
Qian felt a pang of jealousy.
"Fugui’s shoulder is problematic; don’t you do massages? Why don’t you give him one?" Qian suggested, startling Liumei so much that she accidentally dropped the penguin cup straight to the ground.
Fugui reflexively reached out to catch it, and while grabbing the cup, he lost his balance and fell forward. Instinctively, when a person is about to fall, they tend to grab randomly, and Fugui was no exception. His hand shot up and with a ’rip’,
Aiya~
Qian almost whistled, and Shuixian choked on her bun.
Liumei’s top hem was caught, and along with the joyful ripping sound of fabric, when Fugui fell to the ground, he had a piece of creamy yellow fabric in his hand.
A few seconds ago, that fabric was worn by the girl but now rested in his hand.
The price of the fabric running away was Liumei’s slender waist being exposed. A martial artist, there wasn’t excess fat at all, and one could even see beautifully defined abs. The honey-colored skin coupled with the firm abs almost blinded Fugui.
Who knew women could have such toned bodies? Not overly muscular, but truly, truly, truly beautiful!
So beautiful, Fugui even forgot to turn away politely; he stared, and under the influence of human instinct, his mind began piecing together images uncontrollably.
The legs were long, the waist was slim, the person was soft!
Every reaction in that instant was instinctive, uncontrolled by the brain, and free from moral and etiquette restraints, purely instinct!
Fugui even instinctively thought if he had ripped a bit more artistically, pulling down more fabric, could he have seen more—more?
Finally coming to his senses, how could he be so shameless!
"S-sorry!"
"N-no problem!" Liumei awkwardly covered her stomach. As the girl who was caught, she perhaps should have been a bit more angry, but she knew Fugui brother didn’t do it on purpose, so she wasn’t that mad, just feeling a bit weird.
"A late female psychological awakening, very good, growing up." Qian accurately summarized Liumei’s current dilemma.
Accurately speaking, the girl should be shy at this moment.
"I think your stepbrother is much better than that Ma Lv. If I were Liumei, I would definitely..." Tsk tsk tsk! Shuixian added in her mind.
As Liumei hurried back to her room to change, Liao Fugui’s sharp ears caught Shuixian’s precise evaluation of him. Was Ma Lv Liumei’s boyfriend?
Suddenly finding Shuixian more endearing, Liao Fugui decided to forgive Shuixian for the intentional teasing with the cup, because Shuixian had a particularly sharp eye and a very correct worldview.
Yes, he definitely should be better than that Ma whatever, it’s a must!
