Chapter 689: Reluctant to Part

“Why do you stuff a red packet under your pillow?”

Qin Shu was a little embarrassed. “It’s a habit I picked up when I was young.”

In the past, she would always put the new year’s money under her pillow.

However, after her mother passed away, Qin Hai refused to give her a red packet, saying that she was spending money recklessly.

Later on, Fu Tingyu brought her to Sheng Yuan. During the New Year, he also prepared a red packet for her. Although she was a little surprised, she didn’t take it.

Fu Tingyu suddenly remembered that on the first day of the New Year at Qishan, when he went to her room, he saw a bulging pillow. Out of curiosity, he went to lift her pillow. In the end, she forcefully pushed it away.

It was probably because the red packets were all under the pillow.

Because she was the smallest on the mountain, coupled with her short stature and small face, she lowered her age by a few years.

Her master also gave her the most red packets, and some of her fellow disciples also gave her red packets, adding up to a lot of red packets.

The man looked away and reminded her, “Open it and see.”

“We’ll see tomorrow.” Qin Shu yawned, feeling sleepy again and again.

The man saw that she was very sleepy, “Then we’ll see tomorrow.” He glanced at the bulging pillow, then pulled her to lie down and hug her.

Lying in the man’s arms, Qin Shu almost fell asleep after closing her eyes for a while.

Listening to the girl’s light breathing, the man didn’t feel sleepy at all. He kept feeling that the girl had something on her mind, but she didn’t tell him.

On the first day of the New Year, Fu Tingyu took Qin Shu to the old residence to pay New Year’s greetings.

Apart from the Old Madam, the other elders also paid their new year’s greetings one by one.

Naturally, they received a lot of red packets.

When they were done with their work, Fu Tingyan came over.

He saw his brother and Qin Shu standing under the Plum Blossom Tree. His brother tilted his head slightly, not knowing whether he was admiring the plum blossoms or looking at people.

Usually, he would not appear at places where there were couples, because he would only bump into a few people kissing each other.

But this time, he was lucky. His brother and his sister-in-law were only admiring the plum blossoms.

The man felt that this place was quiet and wanted to kiss his wife. However, just as he turned his head and kissed her, he heard a very unpleasant sentence.

“Brother, sister-in-law, are you admiring the plum blossoms?” As soon as he said that, Fu Tingyan had already walked under the plum blossom tree.

The man’s eyes darkened and he turned his head to look at the person who ruined the scene. “What’s the matter?”

Qin Shu leaned in the man’s arms and was a little sleepy. When he heard the conversation, a few sleepyheads ran away.

When he felt his brother looking at him with disdain, did he come at a bad time?

“Brother, when can I go to Uncle Ye’s place to learn martial arts?” He asked carefully.

Fu Tingyu: “Third day.”

“So soon?” Fu Tingyan was a little surprised. “Uncle Ye has returned to the country?”

Fu Ting: “Yes, in Fengyi Mountain. Prepare tomorrow. You can leave early the day after tomorrow.”

What he meant was that he would take Bo Ye with him.

Fengyi mountain was a remote place in the south of Huaxia. It was close to the border of Fengyi Mountain, and it would take half a day to walk on the mountain path.

For Fu Tingyan, who had never traveled far, it was a kind of training.

“I understand. I won’t bother you and sister-in-law then.”

After getting the specific time and place, Fu Tingyan took a stroll.

The atmosphere they had was long gone because of Fu Tingyan’s sudden appearance.

After lunch, Fu Tingyu brought Qin Shu back to Sheng Yuan.

On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Tingyan and Bo Ye carried their luggage and prepared to leave.

Before getting into the car, the Old Madam stood on the porch and looked at her grandson, feeling a little reluctant.

“How long will it take you to learn martial arts? Won’t it take you three to four years to come back like your brother?”

Fu Tingyan took a few steps forward and hugged the old madam. He comforted her, “Grandma, I don’t know how long it will take either. However, I will work hard to learn martial arts and try to come back as soon as possible.”

“Didn’t your brother work hard too? In the end, he stayed outside for three to four years before he came back. Once he came back, he changed a lot.”

As the Old Madam spoke, she felt a little choked up. She really couldn’t bear to part with him.

Fu Tingyu, who was standing at the side, felt a little guilty when he heard that.

Qin Shu glanced at the man. She was also quite curious about his martial arts training.

Fu Tingyu also instructed, “When you arrive at Uncle Ye’s place, don’t cause trouble for Uncle Ye. be strict with yourself and don’t slack off.”

Fu Tingyan nodded. “I understand, brother. I’ll be leaving then. I’ll give you and Grandma a call when I arrive.”

“Okay.” Fu Tingyu looked at his brother. This was the first time he had been sent to such a faraway place, and he was a little worried.

Fu Tingyan and Bo Ye got into the car one after another.

Before the car had even started, a sports car stopped in front of the Fu family’s front door. As soon as the car stopped, Jiang Yu got out of the car with his luggage.

“Xiao Qi, wait, wait for me.”

Jiang Yu carried his luggage and greeted the old madam. “Grandma Fu, Happy New Year.”

Then, he greeted Fu Tingyu and Qin Shu, “Brother, sister-in-law, Happy New Year.”

Fu Tingyan heard Jiang Yu’s loud voice and pushed open the car door. He looked Jiang Yu up and down and couldn’t help but laugh. “What are you doing?”

“We grew up together. Of course, we have to learn martial arts together,” Jiang Yu said matter-of-factly.

Fu Tingyan laughed again. “Didn’t you say that you don’t want to learn martial arts?”

“I’ve played with you. We share happiness and hardships together. I can’t let you go to the mountains to suffer alone.”

That night on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Tingyan called Jiang Yu and chatted for an hour.

After hanging up, Jiang Yu couldn’t fall asleep.

He hadn’t slept for two nights in a row, so he packed his luggage and rushed over early in the morning.

Seeing that Jiang Yu also wanted to go, the old madam thought that it would be good to have more people to accompany him, so she said, “Let’s go together. We’ll have someone to look after us then.”

Jiang Yu patted his chest. “Okay, Grandma Fu. I promise to take good care of Xiao Qi.”

Fu Tingyan sneered. “So who’s taking care of who?”

“That’s about it. It’s time to get in the car.”

Jiang Yu patted his shoulder and carried his luggage into the car.

He felt that he had gotten into the passenger seat, so he turned around and greeted Bo Ye. “I’ll be in charge from now on.”

Bo Ye glanced at Jiang Yu but didn’t say anything.

Fu Tingyan followed suit.

The three of them walked together.

The Old Madam sighed as she watched the car drive further and further away.

Fu Tingyu retracted his gaze and looked at the old madam. He advised, “Grandma, Let’s go back. He’s almost an adult. It’s time to train his independent abilities.”

“No matter how old he is, he’s still a child.” The Old Madam glanced at Qin Shu and waved at him. “Hurry up and bring Shu back. It’s windy outside and it’s tiring to stand there.”

Fu Tingyu held the girl’s hand tightly. “Got it, Grandma.”

After the old madam entered, Fu Tingyu brought her back to Sheng Yuan garden.

On the way, the man asked her, “Have you kept the red packet?”

Qin Shu was stunned for a moment before she nodded immediately! “I’ve kept it. It’s in the small study room. I want to keep it.”

The man reminded her, “You haven’t opened it yet. How much money is there?”

Qin Shu replied, “It’s not important how much money I have. What’s important is that this is the first time I’ve received a red packet from Grandma since I came to Sheng Yuan. It’s also the first time I’ve received a red packet from you.”

The man did not know what to say. Who would have thought that she would not open a red packet?
