"Visiting family? But Ye Qiu, aren't you an orphan?"
Tang San looked at Ye Qiu strangely, a bit puzzled. He had known since childhood that Ye Qiu relied on the villagers' support in Holy Soul Village.
Xiao Wu, who was watching Ye Qiu's belongings and swallowing her saliva, also looked up at Ye Qiu with a look of confusion. She had stayed in Holy Soul Village for quite some time and knew Ye Qiu from childhood. He was indeed an orphan.
"I told you, I'm visiting family. How can you be close without visiting?" Ye Qiu pouted and his eyes locked onto Xiao Wu. He admitted truthfully, smiling, "I'll tell you, your brother here already has a fiancée!"
"Fiancée?!"
Tang San was astonished. He looked at Ye Qiu, then at Xiao Wu, not knowing whether to be happy or celebrate. He asked inexplicably, "Then what about Xiao Wu?!"
"Fi-fiancée..." Xiao Wu, who had been curious, was stunned by Ye Qiu's words. She stared blankly at Ye Qiu.
Having lived for over a decade, she naturally knew what the word "fiancée" meant.
Does this mean Ye Qiu has someone else?!
Does this mean he likes other bunnies and doesn't want to eat her anymore?!
Hearing Tang San's question.
Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Wu's dazed,委屈, frightened, and confused crimson eyes.
He felt a sense of satisfaction, but also a little guilt.
In front of Tang San, Ye Qiu smiled as he sat on the edge of the bed, leaned toward Xiao Wu, put his arm around her shoulders, turned his face to look at her, gently pinched Xiao Wu's plump shoulders, and asked softly: "Xiao Wu, how do you want me to treat you?"
"I..."
Xiao Wu looked up at Ye Qiu in front of her. The joy of their reunion had long since vanished. Her heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know what to do.
She pursed her red lips stubbornly, her round and large crimson eyes blinked, catching the tears that seemed to be overflowing. She slowly turned her head away, no longer looking at Ye Qiu, and lowered her head dejectedly, her hands nervously fiddling with the corner of her clothes.
Sad and upset, but she didn't forget to give an answer.
"I, I don't know."
Xiao Wu's voice was soft, filled with confusion and a hint of tears. She had been so obedient, willing to do anything for Ye Qiu, so why had he suddenly rejected her?
"Xiao Wu."
Tang San, who had initially felt a flicker of delight, saw the scene and heard Xiao Wu's sorrowful voice. His heart clenched, and he immediately turned to Ye Qiu, berating him, "Ye Qiu, how could you do this?! It's only been two months... Are you joking? Xiao Wu has been..."
"I'm not joking." Ye Qiu shrugged, interrupting Tang San. He didn't want to beat around the bush; honesty was the best policy, whether he was confident or not, he was telling the truth.
Moreover, he knew how Xiao Wu treated him, he saw it firsthand, and didn't need anyone else to elaborate. He understood Xiao Wu's feelings for him better than Tang San did.
Considering Xiao Wu's emotions, Ye Qiu didn't want to say more to Tang San. After all, Xiao Wu seemed on the verge of tears. The priority was to comfort her.
"Alright, San, I'll handle this myself. You don't have to worry." Ye Qiu stood up, patted Tang San on the shoulder, and then ignored him, turning back to open all the food he had bought.
Tang San frowned, watching Xiao Wu lift her head to steal a glance at Ye Qiu. The slight joy in his heart vanished, and he felt uncomfortable. He couldn't help but comfort her, "Xiao Wu, don't be sad..."
Before Tang San could finish, Xiao Wu raised her tear-stained eyes and cut him off. "San, Ye Qiu is right... This is between us. You should go do your own thing."
"Xiao Wu, you..."
Tang San's expression stiffened slightly. Looking at the two of them, he could only sigh helplessly in his heart. Before leaving, he still didn't forget to defend Xiao Wu. "Alright, I should also go report to the teacher. Ye Qiu, you'd better speak nicely. You can't resort to violence at times like these!"
"I never hit her unprovoked." Ye Qiu was facing away from Tang San, his expression a little strange. When did Tang San become so nosy? "That's good."
Tang San nodded in satisfaction and then turned and left Seven Dorms, going to Yu Xiaogang's small room to discuss life.
After dividing the food he had brought back into two portions, Ye Qiu slowly turned back around.
Xiao Wu noticed Ye Qiu's movement and continued to lower her head, her expression sorrowful, tears glistening in her eyes.
Watching Tang San's back disappear from sight, Ye Qiu felt a sense of relief.
What he had been doing for the past two months, how could he tell Tang San?
Besides, Ye Qiu always felt that Tang San's gaze towards him was a little different, and his words just now were also a bit too intimate.
Ye Qiu put away these thoughts and sat back down next to Xiao Wu, handing over the food in his hands.
Xiao Wu just kept her head down, unmoving, and her stomach occasionally rumbled.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly, placed the food in front of Xiao Wu, and gently asked, "Little rabbit, are you still eating?"
"Eat, I'll eat." Xiao Wu's small body trembled, and she quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, slightly raised her head, and reached out to take the food. Her eyes were red, and she had obviously been crying.
Ye Qiu's eyes flickered, somewhat silent. Only then did he realize that Xiao Wu was completely without her usual arrogance, not making a fuss, just keeping her head down and crying quietly.
"Here, take the chopsticks and eat first."
Ye Qiu couldn't help but soften his voice again, and at the same time as he handed over the chopsticks. He moved his seat slightly, a little further away from Xiao Wu, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use his chopsticks properly.
Xiao Wu, who had just taken the chopsticks, noticed Ye Qiu's actions. Her face turned pale, her body swayed, and tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Ye Qiu, who was eating heartily, her face full of confusion.
She slowly ate a few grains of rice, awkwardly bringing them to her mouth. Even though she tried to take small bites, Xiao Wu still felt like something was stuck in her throat. The delicious food seemed tasteless, difficult to swallow.
"Ye, Ye Qiu~ why?"
Ye Qiu, whose mouth was full of food, suddenly heard the clear voice, which had a slight tremor, making it sound a little hoarse.
"Hey, don't cry."
Ye Qiu turned around and saw Xiao Wu with tears on her face. He quickly put down his food and raised his hand to wipe them away.
Xiao Wu swallowed the few grains of rice in her mouth and slightly raised her head, letting Ye Qiu cup her face. Tears were about to spill from her eyes as she looked at him.
"Ye Qiu, why don't you want me anymore?"
"When did I ever say I didn't want you?" Ye Qiu looked puzzled. He had been instilled with the virtue of frugality since childhood; how could he possibly not want Xiao Wu?
Wishing you all a happy life!
