Xiao Wu, who had never seen Ye Qiu like this before, cupped his face in her hands, examining him closely. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, nothing. I was just thinking about something else." Ye Qiu casually brushed it off.
Xiao Wu had no idea what had just happened.
'But Xiao Qiu looked so beautiful just now.' Thinking of her actions, she felt a little smug, and her crimson eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.
She thought she had taken advantage of Ye Qiu and was smug, unaware that Ye Qiu had already won big.
Ye Qiu quickly changed the subject, "By the way, what did you ask me just now?"
"I said, do you dislike Tang San?" Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu in front of her. Because of the gesture of cupping his face, the two were very close, making her feel a little dizzy.
"Was my expression very obvious?" Ye Qiu frowned. He thought he was quite polite, treating Wang Sheng and Tang San equally.
"No, it's just that I... I've looked at you a lot, it's my intuition telling me." She hugged Ye Qiu's arm again, nuzzling her head against his shoulder.
Only in front of Ye Qiu would she act like this, even though she called herself Sister Xiao Wu, her behavior was exactly like a little wife.
"Xiao Wu... there are some things I can't tell you yet. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I believe you." Her crescent-shaped eyes warmed Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn't speak, leaning back against the tree trunk behind him, Xiao Wu leaning against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, until night fell.
The full moon was reflected in the lake, radiating a soft, bright light.
"Xiao Qiu~"
"Hmm?"
"Did you see anything just now?"
"Which one are you talking about?"
"Did you see anything else just now?"
"Ahem... of course not!" Ye Qiu answered decisively.
"..." Xiao Wu looked up at him suspiciously, "So what happened?"
"I saw it clearly, replicating the hidden blade shouldn't be a problem." Ye Qiu told her truthfully.
"That's good! Hurry up and make one. Compared to what Tang San gave me, Sister Xiao Wu still prefers what Xiao Qiu makes!" She hugged his neck, wanting their faces to touch.
"Uh, well, I'll try my best!" Ye Qiu was speechless. If Tang San knew, wouldn't he cry in the bathroom?
"But Xiao Wu, you can't tell Tang San about this, or it'll be troublesome." Ye Qiu reminded her.
"I know, Sister Xiao Wu isn't stupid!"
"Really?" Ye Qiu playfully pinched her cheek.
"Ah! Are you trying to kill me? Believe me, Sister Xiao Wu will beat you up!" Xiao Wu felt her intelligence had been insulted and punched Ye Qiu hard for a while before stopping.
After a while of playful fighting, Ye Qiu suggested going back.
"Let's go, let's go back early!"
"Going back so soon again?" Xiao Wu was a little reluctant; it was too short, she wasn't satisfied.
Nevertheless, she obediently followed Ye Qiu towards the dormitory.
Ye Qiu could only apologize for this.
He didn't like this either; every time they were together, it felt like someone was cheating on him. But the possibility of eyes lurking in the shadows forced Ye Qiu to be careful.
He had a premonition that as his relationship with Xiao Wu grew closer, his days by her side were numbered.
For Tang Hao, the 100,000-year soul ring was not to be lost!
'It seems the matter of the immortal herbs should be put on the agenda. Sorry, Xiao Wu.'
Glancing at the silly rabbit still laughing beside him, Ye Qiu decided to implement the plan he had previously devised.
He was determined to obtain the immortal herbs from the Yin-Yang Well! Although he didn't recognize those immortal herbs, it didn't matter; Tang San knew. He just needed to use Xiao Wu.
And he also wanted the Xuan Yu Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, and others!
"Xiao Qiu! What are you thinking about?" While they were still walking, Xiao Wu, who had been flirting with the flowers and grass by the roadside, jumped in front of Ye Qiu, facing him with her hands behind her back.
He stepped forward, she stepped back, and they looked at each other.
After walking a distance like this, Ye Qiu stopped and slowly spoke, his expression serious. "Xiao Wu, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with!"
"What is it? As long as it's something Xiao Wu can do, I'll definitely agree!" Xiao Wu also stopped, walked up to Ye Qiu, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and waited quietly.
"I'm not joking with you!"
"I'm not joking with you either!" Xiao Wu also put away her smile and looked firmly into his eyes. "Xiao Wu is serious."
"Ah~" With a soft cry, Xiao Wu was pulled into Ye Qiu's arms.
Xiao Wu stood on tiptoe, their heads touching, resting on each other's shoulders. "This is the first time Xiao Qiu has ever hugged me on his own initiative~"
The cool moonlight tinged the night, and the slight breeze of the night blew by, but Xiao Wu could only feel warmth. She wrapped her arms around his back and returned the hug.
"Hehe. You really are a silly rabbit!"
Hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Xiao Wu, unusually, did not refute, but just smiled foolishly. "Whatever Xiao Qiu says."
These words sent a shiver down Ye Qiu
's spine, and he sighed inwardly. He slowly pushed her away, pressed down on her shoulders, and looked at her.
"If you ever encounter danger in the future, I will do everything in my power to protect you!"
"But your level is lower than mine! Let Sister Xiao Wu protect you!" Xiao Wu raised her fist.
Ye Qiu frowned; he disliked this feeling. He said in a deep voice, "I'm serious. Although I'm still very weak now, I promise! I will only die before you!" "
..." Xiao Wu froze, her expression stiff, a mixture of laughter and tears, until finally her eyes reddened and her eyelashes wet.
"Xiao Wu believes in you...
"
Half an hour later, Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu were almost at the dormitory entrance. Ye Qiu walked alongside, slapping his cheeks, making a loud slapping sound.
He hadn't expected that he, usually so composed, had just lost his temper. He needed to sober up.
That silly rabbit was so obedient it was heartbreaking. Her emotions were so intense that Ye Qiu almost lost control and nearly ripped his heart out.
Xiao Wu, standing nearby, giggled foolishly, lightly touching her lips, savoring her recent victory.
Seeing Ye Qiu's actions, she asked疑惑地问道, "Xiao Qiu, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I'm swatting mosquitoes!"
"Swatting mosquitoes? Don't tell me you're having second thoughts?" Xiao Wu looked at him pitifully.
"How could I? I always keep my word!"
"Really?"
"Really!" Ye Qiu answered without hesitation.
"Then why did you dodge when I kissed you?" Xiao Wu bit her lip, pouting, still staring intently at him despite her shyness.
"I...I wasn't ready!" Ye Qiu, whose mother had been single-flowered for two lifetimes, blushed. This
was unbearable, truly unbearable!
"Hahaha!" Seeing the usually aloof Ye Qiu become so amusing, Xiao Wu laughed heartily.
"So, what does Xiao Qiu need my help with?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow, let's go inside quickly." Ye Qiu patted and rubbed her face a few more times.
"Okay! Hehe!"
She was clearly in a good mood, skipping along as she walked.
