22 Lu Shiyuan: Should I Be Responsible for You

These words were like a midsummer night breeze, blowing on her body, making her feel hot and dry.

Su Xianyi opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. She only felt that her body and mind were dizzy from these words.

Plop, plop-

Her heartbeat became more and more intense as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Her hands which were soaked in the coldness of the ice began to sweat.

Her hand felt hot when he held it gently, and even her face instantly turned red.

Su Xianyi was flustered and nervous.

Who wants to call you uncle? I want to call you hubby. Do you dare to agree?

"I have nothing to do with the Wei family. You don't have to call me uncle like Wei Yu'an. We don't have much of a difference in age."

Su Xianyi nodded, but she didn't know what to call him.

Call him Dr. Lu? She felt that it was not as close as calling him uncle.

Lu Shiyuan knew that she was thin-skinned and could not help but tease her. He did not dare to be too rash. Seeing that she did not speak, he only laughed softly. "Did you really want me to be your dad?"

"No, I definitely didn't have such thoughts."

"The medicine is done. How do you feel now?"

"It's alright."

..

Lu Shiyuan let go of her hand and got up to throw away the cotton swab. He was about to put away the ointment when his phone vibrated. He pressed the answer button. "Mom."

"Why did you suddenly hang up just now? Is there an emergency at the hospital?"

Lu Shiyuan walked to the balcony. He did not answer or deny it.

"When are you going back to Beijing? Do you really want to stay in Kingstown forever?"

"I will."

"Your grandfather has been talking about you a lot recently. He doesn't say anything and refuses to call you. He said that he was worried that he would disturb you at work, so you should take the time to come back and visit him."

"Alright."

"The son of the Zhang family in the quad is about the same age as you. He's about to get married for the second time, but you don't even have a girlfriend."

"A second marriage so soon? So marriage is not necessarily good."

"You're so stubborn. If marriage isn't good, why did he get married twice?"

"..."

Lu Shiyuan raised his hand and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He was speechless.

"By the way, I heard that your Uncle Xie is also remarrying, but the wedding date has not been set yet. You will definitely come back when the time comes."

"Got it."

When Lu Shiyuan replied, his gaze fell on Su Xianyi. She was squatting and playing with the cat using a cat teaser.

"I heard that the other party has a child. At that time, the Xie family will be lively."

After Lu Shiyuan hung up the phone, he started to build the cattery again. Su Xianyi squatted at the side and watched. She had ointment on her hand, and it smelled strong. Little Gutsy did not want her to carry it.

**

When the cattery was completed, it was close to noon.

Su Xianyi was about to open her mouth and prepare to go home when Lu Shiyuan asked in a familiar manner. "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"It's noon…I'd better go home and eat."

"Your hands can cook? Or order takeout?"

As Lu Shiyuan spoke, he had already scooped Little Gutsy up and placed him in the newly built three-story cattery.

It was timid and unwilling to go in. It struggled in Lu Shiyuan's arms and even rubbed his face twice. In the end, it was forced into the cattery.

"My hand is actually fine."

It was just a slight cut, and there was no bleeding. It just looked a little scary.

"Are you a doctor?"

Su Xianyi shook her head.

In this kind of matter, the doctor naturally had the most say. Su Xianyi watched him wash his hands and enter the kitchen. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and opened the refrigerator to get some ingredients. There were quite a few things inside.

Su Xianyi could not help, so she just watched from the side. Lu Shiyuan was cooking for her. She had only seen such a scene in her dreams.

He could cure illnesses and save lives, build a cattery, and cook… Su Xianyi only felt that there was no one better than him in the world. She stood by the counter and stole glances at him from time to time. His head was lowered, and the hair on his forehead was a little messy. He looked focused and serious.

However, there seemed to be something on his hair. Su Xianyi narrowed her eyes and looked at him carefully.

It looked like cat fur.

Lu Shiyuan turned his head to ask her to leave the kitchen, but he realized that her gaze was anxiously on the top of his head.

"What's wrong?"

"On your hair…There's something."

"Hmm?"

Lu Shiyuan's hands were wet, so he naturally could not fiddle with his hair. "What is it?" 

"It looks like cat fur."

"Then help me."

Su Xianyi was shorter than him, but the position of the cat fur was awkward. She still needed to tiptoe.

However, in the next second, Lu Shiyuan suddenly bent down.

When their eyes met, Su Xianyi looked up and met his gaze. Her heart beat inexplicably faster, and his glasses on the bridge of his nose reflected her clearly.

Su Xianyi quickly plucked away the cat fur and showed it to him to show that she was not lying.

"Little Gutsy is almost four months old." Lu Shiyuan said.

Su Xianyi nodded and hesitated. She still asked about last night. "I drank too much last night. How did I come to your house?"

"You really don't remember anything?" Lu Shiyuan wiped the water off his hands.

"I didn't do anything to you, did I?"

Lu Shiyuan dragged his voice as he said, "What do you think?"

Su Xianyi bit her lips. Could it be that she really was a monster last night?

If that was really the case, wouldn't she suffer a huge loss?

She had no impression of him at all.

"No matter what, I must have troubled you last night. If I dirty anything, I'll be responsible for cleaning it."

"If you did something to me, what would you do? You have to be responsible for me too?"

Su Xianyi's heart was racing, and her expression was slightly stunned, but she still nodded.

Take responsibility?

She was quite willing.

It was just that taking responsibility after drinking always gave her the illusion.

She was like a scumbag. After teasing a good man, she said, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you."

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Lu Shiyuan suddenly laughed softly. Su Xianyi felt a hand brush past the top of her head.

He gently rubbed her hair.

His fingertips had just touched water. It was cold.

However, the places he touched seemed to be on fire, so hot that her scalp went numb.

"You drank too much last night and forgot the password to open the door. I only took you home after you locked the door. I brought you back alone. If others find out, I'm afraid it won't be good for you."

"Even if I have to take responsibility…"

"I should be the one responsible for you."

Lu Shiyuan continued to cook after saying that, but Su Xianyi felt her face turn red.

**

After returning from Lu Shiyuan's house, Su Xianyi was absent-minded the whole day. When she went to bed, she reached out to rub her hair. Today, he had touched her head.

She giggled foolishly and even started to wonder if she should wash her hair tonight.

That night, she had a strange dream…

In her dream, Lu Shiyuan was pressing against her and asking her to call him daddy!
