The black-clothed man was momentarily silent as he gave Chu Sheng a strange look: “…I never heard that Brother Chu had gotten married, in addition, you even have such a big…son.”

Chu Yu was silent as he twisted his head round beyond his limit.

…In fact, he could be considered his son. The image of the brocon’s earnest and well-meaning chatty and gossipy self really did look like that of a…mom.

Chu Yu restrained his sudden impulse to smile, “That one…this person is?”

Chu Sheng looked over with loathing at the black-clothed man: “The Fu family’s Noble Lord, Fu Zhongyi, a nobody. There’s no need for you to know him, little brother.”

Chu Yu was speechless.

…This person, Fu Zhongyi, was mentioned in the original novel. Although he wasn’t one of the protagonist’s little brothers, he was still famous throughout the whole realm as a medical cultivator. In the original novel, the protagonist had experienced a Qi deviation and had almost killed off the female lead (one of them). No matter what he did, he wasn’t able to save her. Afterward, he sent the female lead (one of them) who was already on the verge of death to Fu Zhongyi. Within a year’s time, she had returned to the protagonist’s side, the very picture of health as she flirted with him and demanded his attention in a spoilt manner.

Even if the current Fu Zhongyi’s reputation wasn’t that big yet, the Fu family was still a big clan and Fu Zhongyi was still the son of the Fu family’s first wife…

Yet was this still just a nobody?

Big brother, just what kind of person would you be willing to consider as important…?

Hearing the two words “little brother,” Fu Zhongyi’s smile froze. The Chu family’s Noble Lord’s reputation as a brocon was well-known far and wide. Who was not aware that Chu Sheng cherished this younger brother in every possible way and hated that he was unable to offer all the good things in the world to his younger brother? Anyone who even glared at his younger brother would be remembered.

If you wanted to get close with Chu Sheng, the best way to do that would be to build a good relationship with Chu Yu.

However, Chu Yu was widely known for being a flower on top of a mountain, aloof and noble. For an average person, they don’t even mention becoming friends with him, even seeing his face and talking to him was impossible.

On the other hand, as far as Fu Zhongyi was concerned, building a good relationship with Chu Yu would be much easier than worming his way into becoming Chu Sheng’s friend.

Fu Zhongyi blinked and then gave a slight smile: “So you’re the little brother.”

The fox in his arms began to squirm, seemingly wanting to throw itself at Chu Sheng.

“Who’s your little brother?! Is little brother something you can easily call?” Chu Sheng was furious. He glared indignantly at that fox and then dragged Chu Yu away.

Chu Yu inwardly still had some misgivings. He turned his head to look back. Fu Zhongyi hadn’t chased after them and was only stroking the fox in his embrace in a comforting manner. He shot a gentle smile at the distant Chu Yu.

He seemed like a good person.

Chu Yu turned his head back around and gave a soft cough: “Big brother, is there…animosity between you and that person?”

The original novel didn’t give many descriptions of this Fu Zhongyi. Whenever the author described Fu Zhongyi they would use over and over the phrases “gentle as jade” and “a doctor’s kind heart.” It was clear that he was a modest noble with a kind-hearted, gentle, charitable, and magnanimous personality. But then how could that kind of person become enemies with Chu Sheng who had a similar soft temperament?
