They bickered and played all the way back.
Before long, the two of them returned to the Seventh Dorm.
As they stepped inside, the sky had almost darkened. Under the shadows of the dormitory building, a tall, black figure slowly disappeared.
"Big Brother, Little Wu! You're back," someone greeted Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu as soon as they entered the door.
"Yeah!" Ye Qiu replied faintly. He was a little tired from walking so much today and wasn't in the mood for much.
"Mmm, Xiao Wu jie is back!"
Xiao Wu was full of energy, still sucking on her candy and having already forgotten about the earlier unpleasantness. A smile was on her face.
Ye Qiu tossed a whole set of bedding onto Xiao Wu's empty bed. After spreading out the mattress on the neighboring bed, he brought the quilt back. Then, he lay down on the bed he had just made, exhaling with a comfortable sigh.
"Phew~ It's still comfortable to lie down!"
Tang San, who had already made his bed, had finished his dinner of dried rations and water.
He was meditating cross-legged on the bed when he heard the greetings of the other students and opened his eyes.
What met his eyes was the charming Xiao Wu.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was standing by the bed, gazing longingly at the quilt that Ye Qiu had taken away.
叼着糖,往四周環顧,便紅着臉快速的鋪好自己的床鋪.
Then, under the astonished gazes of Tang San, Wang Sheng, and the others, she supported herself on the edge of her bed with both hands and pushed it towards Ye Qiu's. She only stopped when the two beds were side by side.
Tang San watched this scene, puzzled.
She's really trying hard, even if it means being ignored. Not bothering to ask Xiao Wu this time, he turned to Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, what's going on?"
Unfortunately, Ye Qiu seemed to be too lazy to speak this time.
After a long while, Ye Qiu still didn't answer, and Tang San couldn't help but frown.
Xiao Wu, rubbing her butt, was about to answer his question when Ye Qiu suddenly stood up.
"Xiao San, can't you see? That silly rabbit doesn't have a blanket!"
"Ye Qiu~"
Xiao Wu, who was about to pull the blanket between them, immediately frowned and softly called out Ye Qiu's name, signaling him not to call her a silly rabbit.
"Even so, it's a bit inappropriate for you two to share a blanket, isn't it?"
Tang San looked at Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu with a strange expression.
Xiao Wu spread the blanket, and said haughtily, "Nonsense! What's inappropriate? The blanket Ye Qiu bought is huge, you see... it almost covers both beds!"
"Alright, alright..."
Several black lines appeared on Tang San's forehead. Since Xiao Wu, who was directly involved, didn't mind, why was he bothering?
"This is all your fault!"
Ye Qiu glared at Xiao Wu. He had just laid down when it suddenly hit him: not only had he failed to buy a second blanket, he'd even forgotten to buy a pillow, he was so angry.
"I… I didn't mean to."
Xiao Wu stammered, then lowered her head and started packing her things, huffing.
Wang Sheng and the others were even more surprised, feeling that Xiao Wu had changed quite a bit after her trip.
Plop!
A small box suddenly landed on the blanket in front of Xiao Wu. It was the ointment Ye Qiu had bought.
Ye Qiu's voice followed, giving instructions.
"When you're done showering, put it on your butt. Then, use a mirror to put it on your eyes. If you don't have a mirror, I can help, but only if I haven't fallen asleep."
"Mmm, okay, Xiao Wu understands."
Xiao Wu nodded obediently, holding the ointment in her hands.
"Wang Sheng, where's the bathroom?"
Although the injuries on Xiao Wu's hips and waist had healed, Ye Qiu still asked.
After speaking, he picked up his school uniform, asked about the direction of the bathroom, and then walked out the door.
Xiao Wu looked at the ointment in her hand and pouted.
She raised her head and looked outside the door, immediately noticing the other people staring at her, and she became a little ashamed and angry.
She shouted in a coquettish voice, "What are you looking at? If you look again, Sister Xiao Wu will kick your asses!"
Wang Sheng and the others were scared and quickly averted their gazes.
Not long after the ointment was applied, Xiao Wu, feeling a cool sensation around her eyes, was lying on the blanket. Her two jade-like feet were swaying gently, and she was propping up her chin with both hands, her face flushed as she watched Ye Qiu.
Without even opening his eyes, Ye Qiu responded, "Use your own clothes for now. I don't have enough money right now. After we hunt for souls in a few days and register as Soul Masters, I'll buy two."
After speaking, Ye Qiu opened his eyes, not looking at Xiao Wu, but at his own hands. Feeling the not-so-obvious increase in Soul Power within his body, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Alright!"
Xiao Wu nodded helplessly and got up to fold her old clothes.
A piece of cloth floated out, and Xiao Wu's face froze for a moment. She gently picked it up and, along with the ointment Ye Qiu had bought, put it into her pink little satchel.
Just as she raised her head, she found Ye Qiu was lying on his side on the bed, propping up his head with one hand, watching her with great interest.
Xiao Wu's face immediately flushed with embarrassment, and she placed her small bag in the middle of the two beds.
"You can't cross the line tonight. Or else..."
Xiao Wu wanted to say something threatening, but she thought of her weakness still in Ye Qiu's hands, and that she couldn't beat him, so she couldn't come up with any harsh words.
"Hmph! I'm not interested in a kid like you."
Ye Qiu pursed his lips and placed his own pack in the middle of the bedside, then directly lifted the quilt and lay down, closing his eyes.
"..."
Xiao Wu frowned, raised her fist at Ye Qiu, who had closed his eyes, and then lay down in the bed too.
Sniffing, she suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance. Turning her head towards Ye Qiu, she soon found out that the scent was coming from Ye Qiu's pack.
Her crimson eyes flickered, and she had already guessed what was inside.
