So Fragrant [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 78
Chu Xia's hands were hanging down, holding an umbrella, and she walked quietly beside Li Cheng, and she always helped Li Cheng pay attention to her feet, but after a while, Chu Xia realized that Li Cheng didn't seem to need her help at all. He knows better than Chu Xia which part of the garden has obstacles and which part is easier to walk.
The raindrops fell on the umbrella surface, and it kept ticking. Chu Xia accompanied Li Cheng all the way to the door. The butler was holding an umbrella and was about to come out to look for someone. Seeing the two of them coming back together, they were obviously stunned. After a while, he asked Li Cheng, "When did you go out, sir?"
"Just now." Li Cheng replied.
Chu Xia felt that Li Cheng might have been in the garden for a long time, but he didn't need to expose Li Cheng.
The housekeeper took the umbrella from Chu Xia's hand, gave Chu Xia his own umbrella, and accompanied Li Cheng into the door. Li Cheng frowned slightly, and then entered the villa as if nothing had happened.
Chu Xia didn't go in with them. He stood in the rain with an umbrella. For a while, in the original owner's memory, Li Chengyi had always been a very upright, fair, and somewhat rigid image. He had nothing to do with the role of the villain. The similarities, I don’t know why they suddenly reported to the office later.
Chu Xia stood in the rain for a while, feeling a little cold, so she turned around and went into the villa. Li Cheng had already gone upstairs. Seeing Chu Xia coming back, the butler came over and asked him, "How did you get along with me just now?" Are you outside together, sir?"
Chu Xia replied truthfully: "I see it's raining outside, and sir is standing alone in the garden. He was worried that he would get sick from the rain, so he went out and held an umbrella for him."
The butler nodded, feeling that Young Master Qiu had finally matured a bit, and it would be great if he could continue like this.
Chu Xia returned to her room, packed up the unpacked painting utensils that had been left on the window sill before, and was about to take another shower in the bathroom when she received a call from the original owner's friend. The person at the other end said to Chu Xia, "Young Master Qiu, come out and play."
The people who can hang out with the original owner are either illegitimate children from wealthy families, or distant relatives. Those who have grown up in a wealthy family disdain to mix with the original owner. They know that his surname is not Li, and he is not from the Li family. , There is no use in making friends with him.
"I don't want to play any more," Chu Xia sighed, leaning on the pillow behind her, and said, "I'm not in good health recently, and I'm recuperating at home."
"Not in good health? What's the matter?" The man asked Chu Xia in surprise, and asked Chu Xia with a teasing smile, "Could it be that you had so much fun that night that you damaged your kidneys?"
Chu Xia: "..."
The kidneys were not damaged, but there were a little bit of damage in many places other than the kidneys. He didn't dare to soak them all in the water after taking a bath, so he had to soak them in water with a towel and wipe them casually.
"Then what kind of injury are you suffering now?" My friend asked Chu Xia on the phone.
There is no need to lie about this matter. After all, it is not a trivial matter that the original owner was beaten so badly. It is estimated that after a while, anyone with a little gossip will know about it. Chu Xia sighed and said: "Being beaten by someone I got a beating."
"Was beaten by someone? Who beat him? Who dares to beat us, Young Master Qiu?"
"Don't ask, do you have anything else? If it's okay, I'll hang up the phone."
"Wait, wait a minute, there's something else, there's something—"
Chu Xia took back the finger that was about to hang up the phone, and asked this friend, "What else can I do?"
The friend said: "I heard that Mr. Li is going to marry Miss Bai."
It turned out that the person he was going to marry was Bai.
"Miss of the Bai family?" Chu Xia searched through the original owner's memory, the only Bai family with whom the Li family had some friendship was the one in City G, and that Bai family seemed to have three daughters in total, Chu Xia asked, "Which one? "
"The eldest lady of the Bai family, Bai Jiaqi."
Chu Xia yelled, the original owner should have met that young lady of the Bai family a few years ago, but it has been too long, and the memory of that young lady is not very clear, almost no longer remembered. Her appearance has changed, but he met Mrs. Bai last year. That Mrs. Bai is over fifty years old, but she can still see that she is a beauty. Her daughter will definitely not be ugly.
Although the family background of the Bai family is a little worse than that of the Li family, it's nothing. It's comparable to Li Cheng's status. Chu Xia nodded and commented on the matter, "That's pretty good."
"Are you not worried at all?" the friend asked on the phone.
Chu Xia felt that the question asked by the other party was a bit inexplicable. He was neither Li Cheng's son nor Li Cheng's father. What?"
Yeah, what is he worried about?The friend scratched his head, he vaguely remembered that Qiu Chi was very resistant to mentioning Mr. Li's marriage before.
"But didn't you say before..." The friend scratched his head and said to Chu Xia, "Is it possible that Mr. Li will hand over the Li family to you in the future?"
Chu Xia snorted, the original owner could even boast of such awesomeness, and what's even more stupid is that someone really believed it!
The original owner has no relationship with Mr. Li, and Mr. Li is only willing to adopt him because of his parents' face. None of those people would agree, and most of them would try their best to get those shares out in the future.
"I was joking." Chu Xia said helplessly.
The friend sighed on the phone and said, "Hey, I'm still waiting for you, Young Master Qiu, to take care of me when you get it."
Chu Xia was speechless for a while, but if the original owner wanted to develop his mind, he probably had to wait until his next life.
After Chu Xia hung up the phone with this slightly silly friend, he remembered something else and asked the system: "By the way, who is the protagonist in this world?"
The protagonists in each world seem to have a good relationship with the villains, but in this world, the only person who has a slightly closer relationship with Mr. Li is the housekeeper next to him.
The system replied, "The main character is Lin Zhiyao."
Chu Xia held her chin and thought for a while, then said to the system, "Why does this name sound familiar to me?"
The system hummed, and replied, "It's the name of the elder brother of the junior that Qiu Chi wanted to get drunk that day."
Chu Xia: "..."
very good.
He offended the protagonist by coming up.
Little things, you should get used to it, right?
He continued to ask the system: "Is there any relationship between him and Li Cheng?"
"Mr. Li's current marriage partner, Miss Bai Jiaqi, is Lin Zhiyao's cousin."
Chu Xia took a deep breath and said to the system: "Why do I sometimes feel that I am more like a villain when I get this role?"
The system was silent for a while, and said to Chu Xia, "Maybe it's your illusion."
Chu Xia sneered, that is to say, the characters he gets die early every time, otherwise, even if the big villain can't be made, it is absolutely no problem to be a small villain.
In fact, he looks like a villain now, the kind who can't do anything, but just likes to respond to the protagonist.
Chu Xia went into the bathroom, wiped herself casually with a wet towel, then stood in front of the mirror and looked at the wound on her body.
Thinking that she still owed forty boards, Chu Xia dejectedly pushed open the bathroom door, went back to the bedroom, threw herself on the bed, and began to daydream, would one day Li Cheng suddenly lose his memory and forget about the family law.
This chance is probably not too different from his chance of bumping into a ghost during the day.
Chu Xia fell into a drowsy sleep. In his dream, he seemed to have returned to the system center. Somehow, the system center was in a mess. Chu Xia looked up at the sky, someone hugged him gently from behind, pressed it against his ear, and whispered to him, I'm back.
When I woke up again, it was already the morning of the second day. Chu Xia was sitting in the dining room and did not see Li Cheng come down. Seeing him, several other juniors from the Li family immediately mocked him with a strange ambiguity, and then they Surprised to find that Qiu Chi, who used to be sharp-tongued, didn't talk back today.
Is it true that I was beaten old?
Chu Xia ate breakfast silently. He is now living in the old house of the Li family. There are not many Li family members living here. Most of them don’t want to be restrained. They moved out and would only come back during the Chinese New Year. The rest of them were incompetent, or they just wanted to please Li Cheng, thinking that they would wait for Li Cheng to grow old. It can be seen from their current situation. Points, more points for their own shares.
The original owner didn't want to stay in the Li family's old house, but firstly, he didn't graduate from college, and spent all the money from the Li family, and secondly, he didn't have parents, so naturally he could only live here?
After Chu Xia finished her meal, she went back to her room and continued to hone her painting skills.
At first he didn't care where Li Cheng went, but after having that dream last night, Chu Xia felt a strange feeling in his heart. He painted for a while, put down the brush, and stared out of the window in a daze.
The friend who called him yesterday called again today, and asked Chu Xia as soon as he opened his mouth, "Guess who I saw?"
"Who is it?" Chu Xia asked.
"I followed my brother to the banquet hosted by Miss Bai today. I saw Mr. Li at the banquet. Now Mr. Li and Miss Bai went to the garden together, and they haven't come out yet."
Chu Xia thought about it, it is normal for young men and women to cultivate their relationship before they talk about marriage, there is no need to make such a fuss at all, he said to the friend on the other end of the phone: "That's it, there is nothing else to hang up. "
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone. The friend listened to the beeping sound coming from the phone. The friend looked at his mobile phone strangely. He didn't expect Chu Xia to have such a flat reaction. In the past, when he heard that Mr. Li was dating other women, he would immediately yell at him.
Chu Xia threw the phone away, picked up the paintbrush, and continued her study. Compared with Li Cheng's current relationship status, Chu Xia felt that forty boards were a little more important.
Bai Jiaqi is 27 years old this year, and she has indeed reached the age for marriage. She doesn't think much of those young people her age. Although Mr. Li is blind and six or seven years older than her, but compared to those young people Bai Jiaqi likes the boy even more, she likes the mature and steady temperament of Li Cheng very much.
Her mother doesn't approve of her choice, but her father is happy to see it succeed. If the Bai family can really get on the big ship of the Li family, it will be of great help to the development of the Bai family.
And to be honest, such a small disability is not a problem at all for rich people.
Bai Jiaqi sat across from Li Cheng. Although she knew in her heart that Li Cheng had no feelings for her at the moment, she still had illusions about her future marriage. She is 27 years old this year and has never tasted love. She called softly: "Mr. Li."
Li Cheng nodded, and replied rather coldly: "Miss Bai."
Bai Jiaqi and Li Cheng didn't meet many times, but Li Cheng always had this attitude. In Bai Jiaqi's heart, she felt a little uncomfortable. She suppressed the small emotions in her heart, "Mr. Li, the piece of land in City Y Does the home have to be taken?"
Li Cheng didn't answer, but asked instead: "Miss Bai invited me here? Do you want to talk to Wen about this?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Jiaqi's face. Now that her marriage with Li Cheng has not been finalized, it is indeed a little rude for her to ask Li Cheng such a question, "Of course not, I just heard that my father said that he wanted City Y." It’s just a casual question.”
Li Cheng didn't speak, and the expression on Bai Jiaqi's face became even more embarrassing. She was suddenly thankful that the person in front of her was no longer in sight. Bai Jiaqi poured two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Li Cheng's hand, and sighed softly. In one breath, he said to him: "Mr. Li, if you have time, you can get together with the juniors at home and talk."
Li Cheng raised his eyes and glanced in Bai Jiaqi's direction. Bai Jiaqi knew in her heart that this person couldn't see her, but her body stiffened for a while, and Li Cheng said slowly, "Miss Bai seems to have something to say? ah."
"It's nothing, I just heard some gossip," Bai Jiaqi said with a smile.
Li Cheng twirled the wine glass in his hand, and Bai Jiaqi continued, "Young Master Qiu went too far this time. My younger brother developed a fever after he was brought home. Fortunately, he is alert. If..." It was difficult for Bai Jiaqi to say the rest, so she sighed heavily again.
Li Cheng said: "I will ask Qiu Chi to go to Lin's house to apologize in person some other day."
Bai Jiaqi frowned slightly, she wanted more than this, she said to Li Cheng: "I also heard that Mr. Li plans to hand over the Li family to Young Master Qiu."
Li Cheng's expression was cold: "Does Miss Bai also believe that?"
Bai Jiaqi smiled and said nothing, she was really curious about the relationship between Qiu Chi and Li Cheng, and why Li Cheng was willing to take him back to the Li family and raise him like a child of the Li family? There is no similarity between Li Cheng and many people may suspect that this is actually Li Cheng's illegitimate son.
What was the relationship between Qiu Chi's mother and Li Cheng back then?
It was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening when the banquet ended. The housekeeper helped Li Cheng back to Li's old mansion. He drank some wine and got slightly drunk. Chu Xia came out of the room yawning. He played games. I've been playing until now, and I'm a little hungry, so I came out to get some food in the kitchen, and happened to bump into them.
Li Cheng half-closed his eyes, his footsteps were a little vain, his face was much rosier than usual, Chu Xia asked the housekeeper, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"I drank some wine at Bai's house. Where's Mama Wang? Let her make a bowl of hangover soup for the husband."
"Mother Wang is not feeling well. She went to the hospital for a check-up in the afternoon, and she hasn't come back yet. I'll go." Anyway, he was going to the kitchen to make some food, so he probably made an extra bowl.
"Can you do it?" The butler seemed to have never seen him enter the kitchen.
"It should be..." Chu Xia nodded, and said to the housekeeper, "It can be done."
The housekeeper was left to Chu Xia, who helped Li Cheng go upstairs.
Chu Xia prepared the hangover soup and sent it upstairs, worried that Li Cheng would not be used to drinking it, so he mixed a glass of honey water, he stopped at the door, and waved to the housekeeper inside, "Grandpa housekeeper, bring it in for Mr. Bar."
The housekeeper took it over, said, "Young Qiu, don't bother me, and turned around and entered the house?" Li Cheng heard the noise outside the door, and asked the housekeeper, "Who is outside?"
The steward delivered the hangover soup to Li Cheng, and replied, "It's Young Master Qiu."
Li Cheng didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the hangover soup in his hand and waited for it to cool down a bit. After taking a sip, his expression was a little dazed, and he asked the housekeeper, "Who made the hangover soup?"
The butler was taken aback. He heard that Chu Xia's bowl of hangover soup tasted good, so he didn't taste it, and brought it directly to Li Cheng. The butler carefully asked, "Young Master Qiu made it, what's wrong? The taste is too bad." ?"
"No." Li Cheng put down the hangover soup, after a while, picked it up again, and took a sip.
Do you want to drink, or do you not want to drink?The housekeeper couldn't guess what the gentleman was thinking, but after waiting for a while and looking again, the bowl had already bottomed out.
Looks like he still wants to drink.
It rained in the early hours of the morning, and the tick tock continued until noon the next day. Li Cheng stayed in the bedroom and never came out.
Chu Xia went out to pick up a courier. When she came back, she met the butler coming down. She asked casually. The butler said, "Mr. has a fever. I'll call the doctor."
Chu Xia made a sound, and asked again worriedly: "Is it serious?"
"There is one point, the main reason is that the husband doesn't eat anything now, I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it."
Chu Xia comforted and said, "It will be fine when the doctor comes."
The butler sighed: "Mr. has a bad temper every time he gets sick. He doesn't like outsiders to be close to him, he doesn't like to take medicine, and he doesn't eat much. I guess this illness will take a while to heal."
Then there is no other way, take care of it.
Chu Xia sent the courier back to the room. She was a little worried about Li Cheng's situation. She went upstairs to take a look. The butler was taking Li Cheng's temperature. Seeing Chu Xia outside the door, she told him, "Young Master Qiu is here." Just, help me take these down."
It was the breakfast brought by the housekeeper in the morning, and it was placed on the bedside table. It was already cold, and Li Cheng didn't move at all. Chu Xia walked over, but when he passed by the bed, the unconscious Li Cheng suddenly stretched out his hand, She grabbed his hand, his palm was very hot, like a stove in winter, and somewhere in Chu Xia's chest seemed to be scalded.
He stopped and looked down at Li Cheng.
Is this person pretending to be asleep?
Otherwise, how could he catch his hand so accurately?
But even if he was pretending to be asleep, he couldn't see.
The housekeeper was surprised that Li Cheng would take the initiative to contact Chu Xia. Although he didn't know the reason, it might be a good thing for the husband. He said to Chu Xia, "Then why are you here, Young Master Qiu? Take care of the husband first." ? When?"
Just as Chu Xia was about to nod, Li Cheng's eyelids on the bed twitched. Then he opened his eyes and realized that there was someone beside him. It was very strange. He could not see the appearance of this person, but he seemed to know who he was.
The housekeeper reminded him: "Sir, it's Young Master Qiu."
He frowned subconsciously, and with a hoarse voice, he asked Chu Xia, "Why are you here?"
Chu Xia immediately pulled her hand away from Li Cheng's, turned around and said to the housekeeper, "I think it's better to call Miss Bai to come over."
The raindrops fell on the umbrella surface, and it kept ticking. Chu Xia accompanied Li Cheng all the way to the door. The butler was holding an umbrella and was about to come out to look for someone. Seeing the two of them coming back together, they were obviously stunned. After a while, he asked Li Cheng, "When did you go out, sir?"
"Just now." Li Cheng replied.
Chu Xia felt that Li Cheng might have been in the garden for a long time, but he didn't need to expose Li Cheng.
The housekeeper took the umbrella from Chu Xia's hand, gave Chu Xia his own umbrella, and accompanied Li Cheng into the door. Li Cheng frowned slightly, and then entered the villa as if nothing had happened.

Chu Xia came out of the room yawning. He played games. I've been playing until now, and I'm a little hungry, so I came out to get some food in the kitchen, and happened to bump into them.
Li Cheng half-closed his eyes, his footsteps were a little vain, his face was much rosier than usual, Chu Xia asked the housekeeper, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"I drank some wine at Bai's house. Where's Mama Wang? Let her make a bowl of hangover soup for the husband."
"Mother Wang is not feeling well. She went to the hospital for a check-up in the afternoon, and she hasn't come back yet. I'll go." Anyway, he was going to the kitchen to make some food, so he probably made an extra bowl.
"Can you do it?" The butler seemed to have never seen him enter the kitchen.
"It should be..." Chu Xia nodded, and said to the housekeeper, "It can be done."
The housekeeper was left to Chu Xia, who helped Li Cheng go upstairs.
Chu Xia prepared the hangover soup and sent it upstairs, worried that Li Cheng would not be used to drinking it, so he mixed a glass of honey water, he stopped at the door, and waved to the housekeeper inside, "Grandpa housekeeper, bring it in for Mr. Bar."
The housekeeper took it over, said, "Young Qiu, don't bother me, and turned around and entered the house?" Li Cheng heard the noise outside the door, and asked the housekeeper, "Who is outside?"
The steward delivered the hangover soup to Li Cheng, and replied, "It's Young Master Qiu."
Li Cheng didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the hangover soup in his hand and waited for it to cool down a bit. After taking a sip, his expression was a little dazed, and he asked the housekeeper, "Who made the hangover soup?"
The butler was taken aback. He heard that Chu Xia's bowl of hangover soup tasted good, so he didn't taste it, and brought it directly to Li Cheng. The butler carefully asked, "Young Master Qiu made it, what's wrong? The taste is too bad." ?"
"No." Li Cheng put down the hangover soup, after a while, picked it up again, and took a sip.
Do you want to drink, or do you not want to drink?The housekeeper couldn't guess what the gentleman was thinking, but after waiting for a while and looking again, the bowl had already bottomed out.
Looks like he still wants to drink.
It rained in the early hours of the morning, and the tick tock continued until noon the next day. Li Cheng stayed in the bedroom and never came out.
Chu Xia went out to pick up a courier. When she came back, she met the butler coming down. She asked casually. The butler said, "Mr. has a fever. I'll call the doctor."
Chu Xia made a sound, and asked again worriedly: "Is it serious?"
"There is one point, the main reason is that the husband doesn't eat anything now, I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it."
Chu Xia comforted and said, "It will be fine when the doctor comes."
The butler sighed: "Mr. has a bad temper every time he gets sick. He doesn't like outsiders to be close to him, he doesn't like to take medicine, and he doesn't eat much. I guess this illness will take a while to heal."
Then there is no other way, take care of it.
Chu Xia sent the courier back to the room. She was a little worried about Li Cheng's situation. She went upstairs to take a look. The butler was taking Li Cheng's temperature. Seeing Chu Xia outside the door, she told him, "Young Master Qiu is here." Just, help me take these down."
It was the breakfast brought by the housekeeper in the morning, and it was placed on the bedside table. It was already cold, and Li Cheng didn't move at all. Chu Xia walked over, but when he passed by the bed, the unconscious Li Cheng suddenly stretched out his hand, She grabbed his hand, his palm was very hot, like a stove in winter, and somewhere in Chu Xia's chest seemed to be scalded.
He stopped and looked down at Li Cheng.
Is this person pretending to be asleep?
Otherwise, how could he catch his hand so accurately?
But even if he was pretending to be asleep, he couldn't see.
The housekeeper was surprised that Li Cheng would take the initiative to contact Chu Xia. Although he didn't know the reason, it might be a good thing for the husband. He said to Chu Xia, "Then why are you here, Young Master Qiu? Take care of the husband first." ? When?"
Just as Chu Xia was about to nod, Li Cheng's eyelids on the bed twitched. Then he opened his eyes and realized that there was someone beside him. It was very strange. He could not see the appearance of this person, but he seemed to know who he was.
The housekeeper reminded him: "Sir, it's Young Master Qiu."
He frowned subconsciously, and with a hoarse voice, he asked Chu Xia, "Why are you here?"
Chu Xia immediately pulled her hand away from Li Cheng's, turned around and said to the housekeeper, "I think it's better to call Miss Bai to come over."
