Chapter 253: Incredibly Handsome

Inside the condo…

After Yu Manxi followed Fu Sinian into the condo, Niannian kept meowing while lying on the sofa. Its claws kept probing the edge of the sofa, but it was still young, so it didn’t dare to jump down.

“Niannian…” Yu Manxi ran over and hugged the little kitten.

“Sit anywhere you want.” Fu Sinian took off his jacket and walked to the bedroom.

Yu Manxi had originally wanted to leave quickly after hugging the cat, but it was rare for her to come over, so she couldn’t bear to leave. She reached out her hand to stroke the cat’s fur and sighed helplessly.

She hadn’t expected someone like Fu Sinian to accept blind dates arranged by his family.

When she saw him at the clubhouse that day, his posture when he drew his bow and nocked the arrow was so incredibly handsome. When his muscles were pulled taut, his clothes opened up slightly too.

The arrow left the bowstring and pierced her heart firmly. In an instant, the entire world was extinguished, and only he remained in her vision and heart.

Just like a line in a song:

[Gunshot fired into my heart]

She was caressing the cat in a daze. When the bedroom door opened, Yu Manxi turned her head and was dumbfounded.

Fu Sinian had entered his room to take a shower. At this moment, he was wearing a white bathrobe with a white belt tied around his strong waist, revealing an inch of muscle on his chest. The wet spots on his body were not wiped clean yet.

She could clearly see a drop of water snaking down his neck and entering his bathrobe.

The bathrobe was very long, revealing only a small section of his muscular calves. He casually wiped his hair with a towel and sat down beside her.

His body was still emitting heat, and when it hit her face, it made her heart tremble.

Oh my god. Yu Manxi glanced at him from the corner of her eye. His action of wiping his hair was ascetic and lazy.

It was incredibly handsome.

Niannian meowed and crawled toward Fu Sinian.

His big palm scooped the kitten up and placed it on his lap.

Yu Manxi felt the sofa beside her sink down. Just like her current mood, it surrendered and was instantly conquered.

“Your cat is quite obedient.” Fu Sinian reached out his hand to stroke the cat’s fur. Niannian rubbed against his palm as if trying to please him.

“Yeah.” Yu Manxi swallowed her saliva nervously.

Her rationality told her that she shouldn’t look anymore, but she couldn’t help glancing at his body. He was bending his body slightly, and his bathrobe was slightly open. From her angle, she seemed to be able to vaguely see the wonderful view inside…

It was too enticing.

“Have you been on blind dates before?” Fu Sinian turned his head and looked at her.

Yu Manxi’s heart was pounding wildly, and her ears were flushing with blood at a visible speed.

It was the first time Fu Sinian realized that someone’s ears could get so red.

“No… no.” Yu Manxi adjusted her breathing. No matter how enticing a handsome man is after coming out of the shower, I have to control myself.

“No?” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows.

The distance between the two of them closed once. There was still the fragrance of mint shower gel on him, mixed with an unfamiliar and scorching scent, teasing her at a distance that was neither near nor far.

It carried a fatal attraction.

“Mhm.” Yu Manxi nodded.

“It’s almost the new year. When are you going home?”

Yu Manxi was stunned for a moment, and her eyes flickered. “There’s no one at home. I’m not going back.”

Fu Sinian nodded. “Spending the new year alone?”

“Probably.” Yu Manxi seemed unwilling to talk about her family matters. She hesitated before saying, “What about you? When are you going home?”

From the conversation during the meal today, she could vaguely feel that Fu Sinian’s family was quite affluent. It might even be a big family with many people.

“Probably on the twenty-eight of the lunar calendar.” Fu Sinian lowered his head and petted the cat. The little fellow purred in comfort. This little thing sure knows how to enjoy itself.

“Do you still have to go on blind dates recently?” Yu Manxi held back for a long time before finally asking.

“Hmm?” Fu Sinian turned his head to look at her, making Yu Manxi’s heart palpitate wildly.

“I’m just asking.”

“I have to deal with my elders and can’t get rid of them.”

His words were a sort of reply to Yu Manxi, and a certain someone’s feelings of disappointment immediately soared.

“Do you want to watch TV?” Fu Sinian took the remote control. “Or go back now?”

“I’ll watch TV for a while.” Yu Manxi wished she could stay longer with him.

Yu Manxi wasn’t in the mood to watch TV. She stayed at his condo for an hour more. When the prime time broadcast ended, she didn’t even know what had been playing because she had been focused on sneaking looks at him.

His body seemed to be emitting heat still, and his unique scent seeped into every pore on her body.

It distracted her so much.

Especially when he rested his chin on his hand and stroked it, his superior jawline made her want to pounce over and bite him hard.

At around ten, Yu Manxi’s phone vibrated. She glanced at the caller ID and walked to the other side with her phone. “Hey. Why are you calling me so late at night?”

Her voice was very low, as if she was a thief.

“… Help me thank Auntie. I’ll visit her at your house another day. I won’t disturb your family during the new year then.”

Fu Sinian’s fingers casually pressed the remote control. His intuition told him that the person on the phone with her was a man, and it was most likely the one who had helped her move that day.

Going to his house during the new year?

They’re quite close then.

Initially, he had indeed thought that their relationship was not ordinary. After all, when she was moving in that day, this man had been rushing back and forth and was very attentive. Otherwise, the community administrator wouldn’t have had crooked thoughts.

But after moving here for so many days, he had never seen this man appear again whenever he was at home.

Good friends?

How could someone be nice to another for no good reason in this world, especially between the opposite sex?

After Yu Manxi ended the call, Fu Sinian had already gotten up with the cat in his arms. “It’s late.”

In other words, it was time for her to leave.

Yu Manxi lowered her head and reached out to take the cat without saying anything.

“You don’t want to leave?” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows with a hint of mischief.

“No.” Yu Manxi carried the cat, changed her shoes, and left. She really didn’t want to leave, but she had no reason to keep staying here either.

I somehow feel like he’s angry.

Why is this person so unpredictable?

When Yu Manxi carried the cat away, it was still whining unwillingly.

“Niannian, little cutie, be good. I’ll bring you home…” She reached out to stroke the cat’s fur, but her eyes kept drifting toward Fu Sinian as if she was comforting him.

Fu Sinian’s body stiffened. Little cutie?

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her words. The tiny bit of annoyance and gloominess he was feeling just now disappeared.

On the other side…

Not long after Fu Chen and the others got into the car, he received a call from Fu Wan. She had to be concerned about her son.

“… We’ve already eaten, and we even met Sinian.” Fu Chen fiddled with the prayer beads on his knees, and a dark glint flashed across his eyes.

“Met Sinian? What a coincidence. I even thought that he doesn’t go out before midnight.” Fu Wan chuckled.

“Yes, he went out to eat with his neighbor.”

“Neighbor?” Fu Wan was dumbfounded.

Where did Fu Sinian get a neighbor from? The places where everyone lived now weren’t the kinds of places that had yards like before, where neighbors were very close with each other. In present times, even though neighbors could live opposite one another for seven to eight years, they might not even know each other’s surnames.

Fu Sinian wasn’t the kind of person who was keen on interacting with others. Fu Wan immediately smelled something unusual. “A woman?”

“Mhm.”

Shen Jinye tilted his head and looked at Fu Chen. F*ck, he sold Big Bro out just like that? He and that girl clearly aren’t even dating yet.

If elders interfered, it was hard to guarantee that their romance wouldn’t end before it started.

“How is she? Does she have a good personality?” Fu Wan immediately got excited. Fu Sinian was a geeky IT man. Other than the phone numbers of a few female family members, he didn’t have any numbers of the opposite sex on his phone. It was due to pressure that he actively went on blind dates.

This was unprecedented.

“Not bad.”

“I was wondering why he didn’t like any of the girls he was introduced to. It turns out he already has a target…”

“Big Sis, it’s not settled yet. Don’t be too excited. You need to give him some time. Don’t arrange blind dates for him anymore in the near future.”

Shen Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly. Is Little Uncle helping Big Bro?

“I know. There’s no hurry.” Fu Lin smiled. “It’s a good thing to have a target. Let’s not get involved.”

If a relationship was unstable, the family’s involvement might backfire on them.

Fu Chen hung up. Shen Jinye even looked at him in slight astonishment. When did Little Uncle become so kind-hearted?

“He’s already so old. Even if he’s not in a hurry himself, his family is. As his uncle, I’m also worried. I’ll help however I can.” Fu Sinian had ‘stabbed’ him a few times just now, and he still remembered it.

But it looked like he did have feelings for that girl.

It wasn’t easy to meet someone to his liking. Although he ‘stabbed’ him a few times openly, he still had to help him secretly.

Although they were uncle and nephew, they were actually closer than biological brothers.

Even if they had a love-hate relationship, he couldn’t really dig a hole for him on this kind of matter.

When the young lady heard that he had gone on a blind date, she was so anxious that her eyes turned red. If the two of them were interested in each other, why should they let blind dates block their way and waste their time on irrelevant people?

This matter soon spread within the Fu family. A few minutes later, even Fu Sinian’s parents knew that their geeky blockhead son had gone on a date.
