Chapter 79: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
**Chapter 79: I’ll Kill You, Stinky Little Fifth Brother!**
Feng Xuanbo's servant came in to tidy up the mess, then stood back up and took another careful look at Suisui.
After Suisui reaffirmed her identity, she huddled by Feng Xuanrui’s side and spoke less.
Feng Xuanbin kept reminding from behind, "She really is a sister, especially cute. I’ve patted her!"
Feng Xuanbo’s face darkened instantly. He turned around and glared at Feng Xuanbin. “Where did you touch? Is it okay for you to touch a girl like that? Didn’t the tutor teach you any manners?”
Feng Xuanbin was bewildered by the scolding. “...Huh? Is patting the head not allowed?”
He had wanted to hold hands but Sixth Brother wouldn’t let him. It was all Sixth Brother's fault!
Suisui looked at him with confusion, not understanding what was wrong with being touched. She was still too young to grasp the nuances of gender propriety.
Feng Xuanbo thought Xiao Qi(Little seven) was really a fool. Xiao Liu(little six) calling him 'Seven Fool' was no exaggeration.
Not wanting to bother with the silly boy, Feng Xuanbo quickly walked over to Suisui and raised his hand to touch the top of her head, but stopped midway. “Where did your hair go?”
Suisui looked up following his hand and met Feng Xuanbo’s puzzled gaze. She first murmured softly, then turned to look outside. “It was shaved by Grandpa Liu.”
With some pride, Suisui added, “Grandpa Liu said that when my hair grows back, it will be the blackest and shiniest!”
Upon hearing that it was Physician Liu, Feng Xuanbo fell silent. Physician Liu’s medical skills were beyond question.
However, seeing the cute little girl with no hair was somewhat unsettling.
Although Feng Xuanbo was young, he thought a lot. From Suisui's shaved head, he imagined her tragic past.
Thinking of the little girl’s misfortune, Feng Xuanbo sighed and bent down gently to ask Suisui, “Is your name Suisui?”
Suisui nodded obediently.
Her eyes, sparkling like stars, softened his heart. Unable to resist, Feng Xuanbo extended his hand and, before actually touching Suisui, politely asked, “May I touch your head?”
Hearing this, Suisui first nodded, then shook her head.
Feng Xuanbo, whose hand was almost there, was puzzled. “Is it that you don’t want me to?”
Although he was a bit disappointed, Feng Xuanbo felt he shouldn’t force it if she was a pitiful child.
Since she had suffered so much before, he felt he should be considerate.
Suisui sensed his kindness and felt relieved. As he started to withdraw his hand, Suisui explained softly, “I’ve put medicine on my head. If you touch it, the medicine might stick to your hand.”
Suisui had been taking bitter, unpleasant-tasting medicine lately.
Although Grandpa Liu kept saying there was no strong smell in the medicine on her head, Suisui still worried others might dislike her.
When Feng Xuanbo heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Realizing what she meant, he couldn’t help but laugh. “You really are a cute little child.”
While speaking, Feng Xuanbo’s hand reached out and patted Suisui’s head.
The new hair felt a bit prickly to the touch.
Feng Xuanbo didn’t find it uncomfortable, only fascinating.
Maybe it was because he had never shaved his head before, so he was curious.
He touched her head from front to back and then from back to side, even rubbing her little ears in the process.
Suisui didn’t mind as long as it wasn’t done with ill intent.
However, Feng Xuanrui, who had been watching, couldn’t take it any longer. He let out a hissing breath and pulled on Feng Xuanbo’s sleeve. “That’s enough. If you keep touching, you’ll have to be responsible for the hair!”
Hearing this, Feng Xuanbo considered it seriously and nodded earnestly. “Understood.”
Upon hearing Feng Xuanbo’s response, Feng Xuanrui’s face darkened. He pulled Suisui close, sternly saying, “Suisui, only your brother is the best. Don’t believe others; they’re all bad!”
Glancing at the still-smiling Feng Xuanbo, Feng Xuanrui continued, “Some people might look nice when they smile, but their hearts are wicked.”
This was essentially a direct accusation.
Feng Xuanbo wasn’t angry; he just smiled and said, “Ah, my head hurts. Maybe my old injury has flared up again.”
Feng Xuanbo said this while touching his head and lying back on the small couch.
Feng Xuanrui stood there, his face alternating between anger and disbelief.
Finally, he couldn’t help but ask through gritted teeth, “Aren’t you healed yet?”
It had been over a month since the injury, and it was still not healed? What kind of head was this, made of paper?
Feng Xuanbo, not feeling guilty at all, leaned back on the couch, grinning, “You see, even the tutor granted me leave, so it must still be quite serious. A head injury doesn’t heal easily.”
Halfway through his speech, Feng Xuanbo’s eyes shifted to Suisui. “Unless, there’s a sister around.”
Feng Xuanrui: …!
If it weren’t for the bandage still on Feng Xuanbo’s head, Feng Xuanrui would have wanted to punch him right then.
Seeing Feng Xuanrui’s restrained anger, Feng Xuanbo thought...
Ah, life is truly wonderful!
Looking at Suisui again, he thought, indeed, little sisters are adorable.
Feng Xuanbo figured he could use Xiao Liu’s guilt to have Suisui stay with him for a few days.
However, before Feng Xuanbo could speak, Feng Xuanbin puzzledly said, “Hey, Fifth Brother, wasn’t the bandage on your head removed a few days ago?”
Feng Xuanrui: ?
Feng Xuanbo: !
Careless.
He had forgotten there was a silly Seventh Brother here!
Feeling guilty, Feng Xuanbo shrank back on the couch. Feng Xuanrui, enraged, marched over and yanked off the loosely wrapped bandage on Feng Xuanbo’s head.
Under the bandage were the now-healed wounds and faint scars.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanrui was immediately enraged. “Ah, I’m going to kill you, stinky Fifth Brother!”
The two brothers, who had just reconciled, were fighting again.
The room immediately fell into chaos.
Suisui was startled and, forgetting everything else, just wanted to help her brother.
The bond she had formed with her brother during this time was genuine.
So, no one could hurt her brother!
The brothers didn’t actually fight; although Feng Xuanrui was angry, his previous guilt prevented him from hitting Feng Xuanbo hard.
Feng Xuanbo, feeling guilty about teasing his brother, only pretended to fight back lightly.
The two of them were just putting on a show, with Suisui running back and forth in between.
Her little face became serious as she spread her short arms, continually blocking Feng Xuanrui’s path.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanbo couldn’t help but feel a pang of sweetness.
Seeing Suisui block Feng Xuanrui, Feng Xuanbo couldn’t help but say, “I say, Xiao Liu, are you still a man? Letting your sister protect you?”
