Chapter 45 Will He Marry Me?
In the courtyard, Xiao Qing let out a satisfied burp.
Just now, Xiao Qing had indulged her cravings.
The dozen or so mice nearby had all been swallowed whole by Xiao Qing.
Just as Xiao Qing had eaten her fill, drunk her fill, and was comfortably about to go to sleep.
Suddenly, Xiao Qing saw her older sister running back from the night.
"Sister, you..."
"Xiao Qing, I'm going to sleep!"
Before Xiao Qing could finish speaking, Bai Ruxue ran into her room as if fleeing, leaving Xiao Qing bewildered in the night.
What's wrong with Sister?
Speaking of which, where is Xiao Da ge?
Didn't he go to find Sister?
Xiao Qing waited in the courtyard, and after about half an incense stick of time, Xiao Mo finally returned.
Xiao Qing quickly ran forward: "Xiao Da ge, what's wrong with Sister? Did something happen between you and Sister?"
"Emmm," Xiao Mo thought for a moment, "Something did happen between your sister and me, but it's nothing serious. Ru Xue is actually fine, you don't need to worry."
"Alright."
Since Xiao Da ge said so, then Sister should be fine.
"Get some rest early, I'm going back to my room first," Xiao Mo said to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing nodded: "Xiao Da ge, you also get some rest early."
"I said it, I really said it!"
Bai Ruxue lay on the bed, her ankles taut, her well-proportioned calves continuously thumping the bed up and down.
She tightly covered her head with a pillow, only her pair of peach blossom eyes peeking out.
"I think I've fallen for you."
Recalling what she had just said to Xiao Mo, Bai Ruxue was so shy she couldn't bear it, and her fair, tender calves thumped even faster on the quilt.
After a long while, the shyness in her heart slowly receded, and Bai Ruxue gradually regained her calm.
"Wait... why am I so shy? And why did I run away on the mountain?"
After calming down a bit, Bai Ruxue realized that she seemed to have done something wrong.
At that time, after she said those words, she was so shy that she just wanted to quickly run down the mountain.
But in reality, she didn't need to be shy.
Like is like, dislike is dislike.
I just like Xiao Mo!
I just spoke my heart's desire.
I didn't even wait for Xiao Mo's reply, I just ran straight down the mountain.
"Really, why did I run?"
Bai Ruxue continued to bury her head in the pillow, feeling a little annoyed.
After being annoyed for a while, Bai Ruxue turned over and lay on her back on the bed.
She looked at the ceiling, holding the pillow in her arms, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Does Xiao Mo like me?
He should like me, right?
Last time he even said that when I understood what true like was, he would marry me.
This should be true like, right?
Then will he marry me?
Do the words he said back then still count?"
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Bai Ruxue became.
She wanted to go find Xiao Mo, but she didn't dare to ask.
In her heart, she greatly anticipated the answer, yet also greatly feared it.
"So annoying, so annoying, so annoying!" Bai Ruxuerolled around on the bed like a rolling pin, "I wasn't like this before!"
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
When Xiao Qing entered the room, she saw her sister continuously rolling on the bed.
"Xiao Qing..."
Bai Ruxue held the pillow, sitting on the bed like a duck, her peach blossom eyes flickering.
"I feel like I'm not myself anymore. What should I do?"
In the room, Xiao Mo was reading a book by candlelight.
Previously, Xiao Mo needed to rely on the moonlight to read at night, and if the moonlight wasn't good, he couldn't read at night.
But after becoming a Jieyuan, Xiao Mo no longer needed to do so.
Now, even if Ru Xue didn't raise silkworms or catch pheasants and rabbits, Xiao Mo would not lack silver.
However, Ru Xue still continued to raise silkworms and occasionally caught pheasants and rabbits to sell, indicating that every bit of extra money helped.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Mo put down the book in his hand.
He felt he couldn't concentrate on reading.
All he could think about was Ru Xue's figure.
Xiao Mo really didn't expect Ru Xue to say such a thing.
Although Ru Xue had said "I like you" before.
But Xiao Mo knew that this time was completely different.
Ru Xue's like for him was true romantic affection.
Xiao Mo was stunned at the time and hadn't even had time to reply to Ru Xue before Ru Xue ran away.
"This girl," Xiao Mo shook his head with a smile, and gently blew out the candlelight.
It seemed he would have to go to the town tomorrow.
He couldn't make her wait too long.
The next morning, Xiao Mo woke up and walked into the courtyard.
Bai Ruxue was originally wiping the table, but upon seeing Xiao Mo, the girl was like a startled bird and quickly went into the kitchen.
During breakfast, Bai Ruxue didn't say a word and didn't dare to look at Xiao Mo.
Whenever Xiao Mo moved even slightly closer to Bai Ruxue, she would shyly move away quickly.
Xiao Qing felt that something must have happened between Sister and Xiao Da ge; the atmosphere between them was indescribably strange.
"No! I can't keep being like this!"
In the afternoon, Bai Ruxue patted her small face.
She felt that she couldn't keep hiding from Xiao Mo, and in her heart, she also wanted to know Xiao Mo's answer.
It was just that Bai Ruxue was truly too embarrassed to ask proactively.
So in the afternoon, Bai Ruxue mustered her courage to clean the courtyard, actively approaching Xiao Mo.
But Xiao Mo was like a person unaffected, as if yesterday's events had never happened; he just kept looking at the book in his hand.
Looking at Xiao Mo's calm demeanor, Bai Ruxuepouted her pink cheeks, feeling a little bit of Life Qi.
Bai Ruxue continued to walk back and forth around Xiao Mo, trying to attract his attention.
But Xiao Mo still didn't react; Bai Ruxue even suspected whether Xiao Mo had lost his memory of last night.
"Stinky Xiao Mo, stinky Xiao Mo! I said those kinds of words last night, but today you're acting like nothing happened. Although I ran away last night, you can still reply to me now.
Stinky Xiao Mo! You clearly said you would marry me, but now you're not saying a word! Stinky egg, stinky egg! I'm never talking to you again! Big stinky egg!"
In the room, Bai Ruxue, with her round and full legs, clamped a pillow, then raised her pink fists and punched it again and again, as if she were punching Xiao Mo's chest.
"Sister... are you alright?" Xiao Qing walked into the room and saw her sister bullying the pillow, feeling like the cotton stuffing was about to be beaten out.
"I'm fine!" Bai Ruxue pouted her small mouth angrily, her chest heaving violently, "Is stinky Xiao Mo still reading?"
"No," Xiao Qing shook her head, "Xiao Da ge went out."
"Eh? Went out?" Bai Ruxue blinked, "Where did stinky Xiao Mo go?"
"To Qingshan Town."
Xiao Qing said.
"Xiao Da ge said he was going to get something made and that Sister doesn't need to worry, he'll be back in two days."
