"But you already have a fiancée," Xiao Wu said, looking as if she'd been abandoned, utterly委屈.
"I have a fiancée, but that doesn't mean I don't want you, does it?" Ye Qiu shrugged, seemingly without any sense of shame. He just wanted to appease the little rabbit first.
"..."
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Xiao Wu's normally sharp mind went blank, and she blinked. "Is that how it is?"
"Of course. Who said I don't want you? I never said that. I can't bear to."
Ye Qiu nodded, his face serious.
"You don't seem to have said it."
Xiao Wu sniffled, stopping her sobs. Her red lips parted, but it took a long while before she spoke, sounding very embarrassed.
"T-then, will you still eat Xiao Wu-jie?"
Seeing the fear, and the hurt in her eyes, Ye Qiu smiled gently. He hadn't expected her to ask such a question. With a hint of amusement, he slowly leaned in, watching her beautiful face with interest, and whispered, "I certainly want to eat you. Are you willing?"
Xiao Wu's teary eyes met Ye Qiu's black, pearl-like eyes. Gradually, her face flushed red, and she couldn't speak. She just lowered her head and carefully moved the dishes from her bowl to Ye Qiu's.
Afterwards, she nervously picked at a few grains of rice and ate them, without answering.
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean, little rabbit? You don't want to?"
"N-no, it's not that..."
Asked by Ye Qiu, Xiao Wu nervously raised her head and shook it.
Seeing this.
Ye Qiu smiled slightly. He naturally understood what Xiao Wu's actions meant. He shifted his position, getting closer to Xiao Wu, and leaned in, whispering in her ear, "Actually, it's okay if you don't want to. If you're willing to give me some, I'll eat it. But if you don't want to, then I'll just... have to put in some effort and force it!"
Xiao Wu's expression flickered, and she almost dropped the food in her hands. She blinked, her face quickly turning crimson, and turned her head away. Her eyes, shimmering like water, reflected Ye Qiu's gentle smile.
Her mood brightened.
Ye Qiu didn't reject her; he still wanted to eat hers. He didn't reject her!
Watching Xiao Wu's eating speed, Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly. He leaned in front of Xiao Wu and teased, "Judging by your appetite, if you don't grow up, maybe I won't like eating you anymore."
"Huh?"
Xiao Wu raised her eyes, noticing Ye Qiu's gaze, which was focused on her budding figure. A blush appeared on her face, and she quickly lowered her head, shoveling the food in her bowl.
The tears that had been threatening to burst finally broke through, streaming down her cheeks. Yet, her face was filled with joy, and her eyes held a smile. She ate her meal, glancing at Ye Qiu from time to time.
"Heh, so silly."
Ye Qiu watched the little white rabbit, who was eating while still finding time to steal glances at him, and couldn't help but chuckle. She was indeed silly, silly to the point of making him ache.
"Eat slowly, don't drop it on the bed."
Ye Qiu quickly finished the remaining food in his bowl and gently stroked Xiao Wu's smooth, long hair, his eyes filled with a hint of amusement and affection.
"Mmm-hmm."
Xiao Wu nodded while eating, looking like a little hamster.
Helpless, Ye Qiu took a water bottle from his Soul Tool and hung it around Xiao Wu's neck.
"Drink some water, don't choke."
After a brief reminder, Ye Qiu went back to his bed.
Xiao Wu was very capable; she had smoothed the blankets without a single wrinkle. He didn't know how long she had been tidying up.
Glancing at Xiao Wu, who was still staring at him, Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled. He then began to take out some of his clean clothes.
Dugu Bo had taken him on a long trip in the sky, and then he had walked for quite a while. He needed to clean himself up.
Watching Ye Qiu leave with his washing supplies, Xiao Wu took advantage of the time to quickly finish her meal. She then picked up the water bottle Ye Qiu had hung around her neck and took a few sips.
Sensing something amiss, Xiao Wu couldn't help but purse her lips, frowning at the water bottle.
It seemed that the mouth of this bottle didn't just have Ye Qiu's scent.
Although Ye Qiu had only teased her a few times, she remembered clearly that the aura that made her blush wasn't like this at all.
Fifteen minutes later.
Bathed, Ye Qiu returned to the Seven Dorms.
Tang San hadn't returned yet. Xiao Wu was sitting obediently on the bed, waiting for Ye Qiu.
"Are you full?"
Ye Qiu asked, casually stuffing his clothes into the bucket and temporarily moving it under the bed.
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly.
"Uh, I'm already full, uh...!"
"Hah, I told you to slow down. You're already hiccuping from eating so fast."
Ye Qiu sat beside Xiao Wu, gently patting her back, and even infused a bit of his soul power.
Xiao Wu returned the water bottle to Ye Qiu.
Perhaps because she was too embarrassed, the two pats from Ye Qiu successfully stopped her hiccups.
"Ye Qiu, let's cultivate together."
Xiao Wu, her face flushed, took Ye Qiu's hand in hers.
"Huh? When did you get so diligent?" Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Wu with a strange expression.
"I... I just want to help you more," Xiao Wu mumbled, her eyes darting away, her reddened eyes showing signs of fatigue, her neck stiff with embarrassment.
"Help you?" Ye Qiu scoffed. He wouldn't believe that excuse. It was a lie about wanting to cultivate with him; the truth was she wanted to pry into his privacy. Leaning back on the bed, Ye Qiu jested, "Just spit it out. I'm a bit tired today, and I don't feel like cultivating."
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, her hand gripping Ye Qiu's with some nervousness. "I want to know where you went. I want to know if you really have a fiancée!"
"Didn't I just say it? I wasn't lying. I do have a fiancée." Ye Qiu didn't hide it.
"But… why? Am I not obedient enough?" Xiao Wu's expression dimmed, and she looked at Ye Qiu with bewilderment. Then, she lowered her head and looked at her own small frame, feeling sad. "Even though I'm still young now, I'll grow up! You just need to wait for me… Didn't we agree that you wouldn't want me until I was ruined?"
"Alright, let's just take a quick look then." Ye Qiu rolled his eyes, but still sat up again. He had a headache when it came to this little rabbit who had a million questions.
Ye Qiu took Xiao Wu's hand, intertwining their fingers. With his other hand, he gently pinched her fair, tender cheek, wiping away her tears. He said softly, "Alright… stop crying. Actually, I also want to know if you haven't been listening to me these past two months."
"I… I definitely have listened." Xiao Wu's eyes flickered, a little uneasy.
"Hmm?"
Ye Qiu frowned, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
He liquefied his hand, completely enveloping Xiao Wu's palm, and their memories and spirits connected.
Wishing everyone a happy life!
