Aunt Zhang shrank back after being scolded by Old Man Zhang, then looked up again, her eyes full of resentment, and said:
"Dad, what are you doing? Aren't you disciplining the child?"
"Hmph! Disciplining the child? In my eyes, you're still a child. You haven't tamed that little village chief from the next village, have you? Stop meddling."
Old Man Zhang slammed his hand on the table without any politeness, clearly worried about his daughter.
"Dad!"
Aunt Zhang's face turned red, and she didn't know what to do with the kitchen knife in her hand.
"Pfft, hahaha!"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Aunt Zhang opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and stopped talking, only giving Old Man Zhang an annoyed glare.
She continued with her work.
"Old Man Zhang, don't worry, I won't let Xiao Wu down. Maybe I'll even invite you and everyone to my wedding."
Ye Qiu also couldn't help but chuckle, but didn't tease her too much; an elder is still an elder.
"I can save some money later, so Aunt Zhang can have a grand celebration when she gets married.
" "Hey, if you can let this old man drink at your wedding with those girls, I can go to see Old Ye in peace."
Old Zhang squinted, drinking the good wine Ye Qiu brought, feeling a little sentimental.
"Dad! What nonsense are you talking about? These past few years, Xiao Qiu has been helping you take care of yourself. Why are you still saying such unlucky things?"
Clang!
Aunt Zhang, who was chopping vegetables, slammed the knife into the cutting board, waiting for Old Zhang.
Hearing the words "Old Ye," Ye Qiu's face showed a hint of unease.
He comforted her,
"Grandpa Zhang, what are you saying? With me here, you might even see my child."
"Yes, yes! Xiao Qiu is right."
Xiao Wu nodded sensibly, shyly grasping Ye Qiu's large hand.
She also longed to have their own little rabbit with Ye Qiu.
Old Zhang waved his hand sheepishly, "Oh, Xiao Qiu, don't take it to heart. Old people tend to overthink things
after drinking." "Xiao Qiu, don't bring him any more alcohol. Quitting it might help him live longer,"
Aunt Zhang said to Ye Qiu with a hint of resentment.
"No way! How can that be? Am I supposed to drink 100-degree water? I can't stand that!"
Old Zhang immediately protested.
"Haha, don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, if Xiao Qiu doesn't bring you any, I can secretly bring Xiao Wu."
...
After a bit of playful banter,
the food Aunt Zhang had prepared was finally served.
Thankfully, there wasn't any rabbit meat or anything like that, otherwise Xiao Wu would have been upset.
After having lunch at Old Zhang's house,
Ye Qiu took Xiao Wu to the stone house where they had first shared a bed.
"Xiao Qiu, slow down, don't rush. Although a walk after dinner is good for your health, Xiao Wu can't handle it if you go too fast."
Xiao Wu pouted, grinning at Ye Qiu's profile, and gave him two big bites.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly.
"You know a walk after dinner is good for your health, then why do you want me to carry you?"
"Hehe. Xiao Wu just likes it. Anyway, you're all mine for this period of time."
Xiao Wu clung to Ye Qiu's back, and even the bumps didn't bother her at all.
"You have to do whatever Xiao Wu tells you to do."
"Okay, I know."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly, supporting her pert bottom and gently kneading it. He wasn't without his own gains.
"Xiao Qiu has really become naughty."
Xiao Wu blushed, her voice soft and sweet.
Soon the two arrived near the stone house. Xiao Wu looked at it and saw that it was getting better and better, with a stove built outside,
and couldn't help but wonder.
"Xiao Qiu, is someone living in there?"
"Uh..."
Ye Qiu paused, then gently shook his head, truthfully replying,
"No."
"Then why does it seem like someone has been living here recently?"
Xiao Wu asked, puzzled, grabbing Ye Qiu's azure hair, her long, beautiful legs, clad in white stockings, wrapped around his waist.
"Because I brought Xue Ke here before, and we cleaned all this together."
Ye Qiu, carrying Xiao Wu on his back, had already arrived at the peach tree without blossoms.
"Oh, Xiao Qiu, you kept this from us for so long!"
Xiao Wu pouted, pinching Ye Qiu's soft cheek, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"It wasn't that long,"
Ye Qiu said, somewhat reluctantly.
"The things you made for Sister Xiao Wu should still be there, right? If they're broken, you'll have to make her a new one."
Xiao Wu jumped off Ye Qiu's back and ran lightly towards the door.
She already knew about Xue Ke's situation.
As for what they had done together, Xiao Wu had already secretly speculated about it in her mind.
There wasn't much jealousy left.
"Of course it's not broken. Xue Ke has taken good care of it."
Ye Qiu took out a key from his Divine Might Space and opened the repaired door.
The wooden planks separating the living areas inside were made of high-quality, non-corrosive sandalwood.
They were carved with dragons and phoenixes and inlaid with gemstones.
Xue Ke had obtained them from Yuexuan's channels, and the two of them had erected them together.
As soon as the door opened, a simple, ancient fragrance filled the air, completely devoid of any signs of decay.
"Wow, Xiao Qiu, did Princess Xue Ke make all of this?"
Xiao Wu looked at the now comfortable bed, the exquisitely decorated windowsill with potted plants,
and the small wooden room that resembled a bathroom.
There was also a large chandelier overhead, a bookshelf-like storage shelf on the wall, and a wardrobe with clothes hanging nearby.
It was impossible to tell that this was the same dilapidated, leaky, and dimly lit room that used to be.
"Yes, Xue Ke and I made it together."
Ye Qiu smiled and turned on the chandelier, instantly illuminating the entire room.
"Never mind, Xiao Qiu! Today, Sister Xiao Wu is going to sleep with you on the bed Princess Xue Ke prepared!"
Xiao Wu ran and jumped, kicking off her shoes to reveal her two jade-like feet.
She jumped directly onto the soft bed.
Although it was still a wooden board, the bed was now a waterbed made of fine whale skin.
A thick cotton quilt was laid on top, which was very soft.
Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Wu's unrestrained appearance and
couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.
"Xiao Wu, don't jump so hard, be careful not to bump your head."
Saying that,
Ye Qiu picked up Xiao Wu's shoes and put them by the bed.
Before Ye Qiu could even sit down on the edge of the bed,
Xiao Wu had already transformed into a mischievous rabbit, crawled into the quilt, and covered Ye Qiu with the quilt.
"Xiao Qiu! Come and take a nap with Sister Xiao Wu, and tonight Sister Xiao Wu can straighten your hair."
Ye Qiu's vision went black, and a sweet fragrance wafted into his nose and mouth.
Inside the blankets, Xiao Wu had already cupped Ye Qiu's face, shamelessly pressing against him, savoring his taste.
Ye Qiu quickly regained his composure.
Instead of waiting passively, he pounced on her, his hands and fingers exploring and teasing her.
She bit down on the rabbit's tongue, still sweet and soft.
