After three nights of interaction, Yuan Xi and Fu Yunzhou found themselves conversing effortlessly, their connection transitioning into something resembling a typical relationship.

So much so that the next morning, Yuan Xi awoke feeling particularly happy.

Heading downstairs, when Yuan Xi spotted the man seated at the dining table, his previously drowsy eyes instantly widened with surprise, fixing upon him with a gaze filled with astonishment.

“Yuanzhou! Are you having breakfast too? Why didn’t I see you before? Did you usually skip breakfast?” Yuan Xi asked, curiosity and excitement evident in his voice as he eagerly joined him at the table, leaning in happily.

Sitting beside him was a male god, even enhancing the simple act of eating in Yuan Xi’s eyes.

Fu Yunzhou cast a glance at Yuan Xi but remained silent. Unperturbed, Yuan Xi turned his attention to Aunt Zhang bustling about nearby, unable to resist asking. “Aunt Zhang, didn’t you say you were unfamiliar with Yunzhou before?”

With Aunt Zhang’s back facing Yuan Xi, her body stiffened for a moment before she said, “Aunt Zhang didn’t initially recognize Ma…Yunzhou. Due to his poor health, he seldom appears downstairs. So, when you asked yesterday, I forgot about it.”

Aunt Zhang’s excuses were very stiff and full of loopholes.

But Yuan Xi’s attention was preoccupied with the xiaolongbao in front of him, freshly picked up by Fu Yunzhou.

Yuan Xi happily ate Xiaolongbao, completely unaware of Aunt Zhang’s flawed excuse.

After finishing his meal, Yuan Xi noticed the untouched food in front of Fu Yunzhou. Despite having the same dishes, Fu Yunzhou had consumed only half of what Yuan Xi had, and he hadn’t even taken a sip of the glass of milk beside his plate.

Meanwhile, when Aunt Zhang saw Fu Yunzhou was done eating, she swiftly fetched a cup of coffee for Fu Yunzhou.

Yuan Xi picked up the glass of milk beside his place and took a sip, then looked at Aunt Zhang with a puzzled expression as if asking why prepared milk if he wanted to drink coffee instead?

Fu Yunzhou wiped his mouth and lifted the coffee cup towards his lips, but before he could take a sip, he was halted by Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi stood up and reached out to block Fu Yunzhou, then looked at the other person with dissatisfaction, “Your health is not good. You need to drink milk. Drinking too much coffee is not good for your stomach. You already have stomach problems.”

Fu Yunzhou frowned and looked displeased at Yuan Xi who was blocking him.

After seeing Yuan Xi’s movements, Aunt Zhang immediately turned around and ran away, pretending that she had not seen anything there.

She, the master, and the madam had discussed numerous times about the young master’s habit of drinking coffee after breakfast daily, but no one had succeeded in altering his preference. Now that the young master’s demeanor toward Yuan Xi was somewhat different, why not allow Yuan Xi to attempt to persuade him?

So, when Fu Yunzhou raised his head to signal Aunt Zhang to intervene, he discovered that she had surreptitiously slipped away to the kitchen, her back turned to them.

Fu Yunzhou: “…”

Yuan Xi forcefully snatched the coffee from Fu Yunzhou’s hand, then glanced at a mouthful of untouched milk beside him, picked it up, and stuffed it into the other person’s hand.

“Do you know that drinking too much coffee is not good for your body, and you also have stomach problems? If you drink too much, it can easily lead to worsening stomach problems. Drinking more milk so you can… supplement calcium.”

Yuan Xi glanced at Fu Yunzhou and swallowed the two words he had originally intended to say: tall and height.

After all, Fu Yunzhou; ‘s towering stature of over 1.8 meters while he was only 1.77 meters making him the one who needed to grow taller.
