Chapter 33: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 33: Can I Let Only Brother Feed Me?
The two kids wanted to sleep together, and Physician Liu didn’t stop them.
However, sharing the same bed wasn’t possible.
If Feng Xuanrui were also five years old, Physician Liu would have definitely put them in one bed without hesitation.
But Feng Xuanrui was older, and Suisui was at an age where Physician Liu had already started teaching her about the differences between boys and girls.
As they grow older, things won’t be as convenient anymore.
So, Feng Xuanrui ended up sleeping on the small couch, while Suisui slept in the bed.
When Sun Ronglin heard that Feng Xuanrui and Suisui were sleeping together, he squeezed in too.
Feng Xuanrui didn’t hide his dislike: "Don't sleep with us, you take up too much space!"
Hearing that Feng Xuanrui was calling him fat, Sun Ronglin wasn’t happy: "You act like you don’t take up space yourself!"
Although the two complained about each other, they eventually compromised and both squeezed onto the couch.
Physician Liu: …!
Fine.
As long as you're happy.
Children fall asleep quickly.
The system didn’t even have time to send someone to tell them a story, and Suisui was already sound asleep.
Knowing the three kids were asleep, Physician Liu finally felt at ease.
With Qingshan and the others keeping watch, Physician Liu felt less pressure and was able to slowly fall asleep in the second half of the night.
The next morning, Physician Liu was woken up by the energetic shouts of the two children.
He rubbed his face, listened for a moment, and couldn’t help but laugh.
After squeezing together all night, Feng Xuanrui and Sun Ronglin’s relationship had actually improved.
Yet, this didn’t stop them from arguing as soon as they woke up.
Feng Xuanrui, after being helped by the Qingshan brothers to wash his face, went to help Suisui wash up.
Although the young boy’s movements were clumsy, he thought that with practice, he’d get better.
Now that he had a little sister, he wanted to personally and carefully take care of her.
The first step was to help her wash her face!
Even though Feng Xuanrui still needed help himself, he was especially attentive and patient when it came to Suisui.
Over the past few days, Suisui’s washing had sometimes been handled by Physician Liu, and sometimes by Dajiao and the others.
Now that it was Feng Xuanrui’s turn, the brother and sister had little coordination.
Feng Xuanrui was just winging it, and Suisui was endlessly tolerant.
He even poked the bamboo toothbrush handle into Suisui's face, turning her cheeks red, but Suisui still praised him without a second thought: “Brother is amazing!”
“Brother can even do this!”
“Brother is so awesome!”
...
As a result of Suisui’s unreserved compliments, Feng Xuanrui’s confidence swelled immensely.
After the struggle of brushing Suisui’s teeth, he helped her wash her face.
Washing her face was simpler, as the child wasn’t very dirty, and a quick wipe with clean water was enough.
However, Feng Xuanrui noticed the ointment on Suisui’s head had dried and was from the day before, meaning it needed to be washed off and replaced with fresh ointment.
He attempted to wash her hair with a wet cloth, but in doing so, the cloth wasn’t wrung out properly, and water soaked Suisui.
Even so, Suisui didn’t complain. She kept on praising her brother.
Suisui truly believed her brother was great, and her praise was genuine.
She hadn’t received much kindness before, so now, even the slightest kindness was magnified, and she felt deep gratitude.
When Physician Liu came over, he saw Suisui’s face was wet, her hair was wet, and most of her clothes were soaked.
Looking at this scene, Physician Liu felt a bit dizzy.
But on closer inspection, the siblings were getting along quite well.
Not only that, Sun Ronglin was babbling from the side: “Let me try! I’m gentle, and I know how to wash too.”
“Why are you being so stingy, just one try!”
“Not even one try?”
“I want to wash too!”
...
When Prefect Magistrate Sun came to check on things, he overheard his beloved grandson fighting to wash someone else’s face.
Prefect Magistrate Sun: ?
Can you even wash your own face?
And now you want to wash someone else’s?
Sun Ronglin didn’t end up getting his turn.
In the end, he could only watch enviously as Physician Liu took Suisui to change into dry clothes.
After Suisui changed, she obediently sat down to let Physician Liu apply the ointment.
Sun Ronglin thought to himself that he could probably do that too, right?
Though uncertain, he decided to give it a try!
He moved closer, sniffing the ointment. It didn’t smell great, but it wasn’t unbearable.
He squeezed in next to Physician Liu and quietly asked, “Can I try? I know how to apply it. Isn’t it just putting medicine on a little sister? I can do it!”
Seeing this, Feng Xuanrui wasn’t happy. He squeezed the little chubby boy aside: “How do you know you can do it? This is important! Don’t mess around, or if Suisui never grows hair again, it’ll be your fault!”
Sun Ronglin rolled his eyes indifferently: “If she doesn’t grow hair, I’ll just shave my head and keep her company!”
Feng Xuanrui: ?
This person is too cunning, trying to steal his sister!
Feng Xuanrui was furious: “Who wants to go bald with you? My sister will definitely grow her hair!”
Although he sounded confident, deep down, he was unsure. After scolding Sun Ronglin, Feng Xuanrui turned to Physician Liu and asked, “Suisui’s hair will grow, right?”
Physician Liu wasn’t offended by the doubt about his medical skills. He gently applied the ointment while smiling: “Of course, Suisui’s hair will grow thick, black, and shiny. You’ll both be envious!”
Suisui didn’t actually care whether she had hair or not.
She was still young and didn’t have any concepts of beauty.
But if her brother liked it, Suisui felt she could try hard to grow her hair.
With this in mind, she clenched her small fists and said seriously, “Brother, don’t worry, Suisui will work hard to grow hair!”
Hearing this, Feng Xuanrui regained his confidence: “Yes, let’s work hard together!”
Physician Liu: ...
Great, another day of having my medical skills questioned.
The morning chaos wasn’t over.
At breakfast, a new argument broke out between Feng Xuanrui and Sun Ronglin over who would feed Suisui.
Since they weren’t in their own household, the Qiu brothers didn’t feel comfortable competing for the chance to feed her.
Though they were itching to help, they didn’t dare join in the argument.
The two boys argued so much that Physician Liu felt like his head was going to explode.
In the end, unable to take it anymore, he said firmly, “One bite each. Sixth Young Master feeds first.”
Suisui had been tugging on Feng Xuanrui’s sleeve, wanting to say that she only wanted her brother to feed her.
But when she heard what Physician Liu said, she gently let go of her brother’s sleeve and lowered her head.
Physician Liu, with his sharp eyes, noticed the little girl’s mood drop.
This sight made Physician Liu’s heart ache. He softened his tone and asked gently, “Does Suisui have something to say to Grandpa?”
Remembering that Grandpa Liu had said children shouldn’t lie, Suisui pursed her lips and quietly asked, “Can I let only Brother feed me?”
