Before Xiaowu could finish speaking.
Ye Qiu exasperatedly tapped Xiaowu's head.
"Ouch!"
Xiaowu cried out in pain, tears seemingly welling up in the corners of her eyes as she looked at Ye Qiu in confusion.
Ye Qiu raised his fist and smiled playfully. "Well, well, you little hooligan rabbit, not learning anything good at such a young age."
"You!" Xiaowu covered her head, pouted, and realizing Ye Qiu was teasing her again, felt a little wronged. She pursed her bunny lips: "You were the one who said you wanted that! And you're not allowed to call me hooligan rabbit anymore!"
"Hmph! My little bunny, I'll call you whatever I want." Ye Qiu wrapped an arm around her shoulder and gently bit her puffed-out cheek, leaving a faint teeth mark.
"Ying," Xiaowu bit her red lip, closed one eye, and tightly clutched Ye Qiu's clothes. Only after Ye Qiu let go did she shyly glance at him and softly say, "Even if... even if it's like that, y-you can't call me that in front of others..."
Ye Qiu couldn't help but chuckle, saying with a smile, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go, we can talk as we walk."
Ye Qiu held Xiaowu's hand in his, pulling her towards Dorm 7. Xiaowu remained silent, her beautiful face like the crimson sunset on the horizon.
Their hands were clasped together. In her inner world, Xiaowu was bombarded by Ye Qiu's various sweet words, feeling annoyed mixed with shyness, and a touch of sweetness.
After refining the Yearning Broken Heart Grass, Xiaowu's original level 32 cultivation had reached level 44, a full twelve-level increase. It truly lived up to its reputation as the king of flowers; its medicinal effect was indeed powerful!
In addition,
Xiaowu's recovery ability also greatly increased. Ye Qiu even deliberately left a hickey on her neck to test it. The reddish-purple mark he forcefully left recovered in just moments, becoming smooth and flawless as porcelain.
It was just that Xiaowu's head seemed to be steaming.
When the two returned to Dorm 7, Xiaowu's face was still bright red, and the part of her neck where Ye Qiu had left the hickey was still pink, clearly not having recovered from that overly sweet mark.
Like an ostrich, she followed behind Ye Qiu, head down, not daring to look at anyone, looking every bit like a little wife.
Tang San, who had just returned from Yu Xiaogang's and was resting on his bed, immediately noticed Ye Qiu and Xiaowu. His eyes flickered slightly. He got up and asked doubtfully, "Ye Qiu, where did you take Xiaowu?"
"Oh? It's Little San. Nowhere special, just took her out for a casual stroll."
A smile appeared on Ye Qiu's face.
Looking at this guy who wanted to snatch his bunny, his eyes narrowed, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart.
This old fellow Tang San is very cunning.
Even though he and Xiaowu were sleeping together, he still secretly harbored impure thoughts about his little bunny. Bah! How despicable!
Ye Qiu squeezed the soft hand in his palm, sighing inwardly, 'This bunny is so soft.'
Xiaowu pursed her red lips, her face gaining more color.
"A stroll?" Tang San was full of disbelief. Looking at Xiaowu's flushed profile and her seemingly bleeding earlobe, he couldn't help but frown, a hint of concern appearing on his face. He guessed, "Xiaowu's face doesn't look very good. You didn't bully her again, did you?"
Ye Qiu tilted his head, looking at him strangely, and asked in confusion, "I say, Little San. Why are you suddenly so concerned about Xiaowu?"
"Ah?!"
Ye Qiu's words made Tang San's expression change.
However, with his mature and meticulous mind, he quickly recovered. Instead, he looked at Ye Qiu with a strange expression and said, "Ye Qiu, what are you talking about? We've known each other for so many years. Isn't it natural to care for each other under the same roof?"
As he spoke, he gave Ye Qiu a wry smile, looking helpless, and mentioned what he had done during the summer vacation.
"Originally, I wanted to recognize Xiaowu as my younger sister, but she wasn't willing."
"Don't even think about it!"
Xiaowu, who was following behind Ye Qiu, suddenly raised her head and let out a cold snort.
"Sister Xiaowu will only be an older sister, not a younger sister!"
"Is that so?"
A look of surprise flashed across Ye Qiu's face. He turned his head to look at Xiaowu, whose face was flushed pink.
Having known about this long ago, he was just feigning surprise. Saying she would only be an older sister was just Xiaowu's excuse.
Noticing Ye Qiu's gaze.
Xiaowu couldn't help but hug his arm, afraid that he might misunderstand something. She had always been obedient and hadn't gotten too close to Tang San.
"Yes!" Tang San's expression dimmed slightly, but he quickly composed himself, forcing a gentle smile onto his face. He said solemnly, "Although Xiaowu wasn't willing, it doesn't prevent me from treating her like family, does it? If anyone dares to bully her in the future... they'll have to step over my body first!"
What the heck! You cunning schemer, what a great move to retreat to advance! Is he just laying his cards on the table now?
Ye Qiu cursed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. Looking at Tang San, who was still smiling, he teased, "What about me?"
"You?" Tang San was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively. "Never mind you... you definitely wouldn't be willing to be my younger brother."
After a pause, he added seriously, "However... we can be friends."
"Haha... I didn't expect you to understand me so well!" Ye Qiu let out a hearty laugh, but in his heart, he was wondering how sincere Tang San was.
Tang San felt a little awkward.
He didn't want to understand Ye Qiu either.
But who could blame him when Ye Qiu, despite being younger, always called him Little San?!
Ye Qiu ignored Tang San and looked teasingly at Xiaowu beside him, asking, "Little bunny, if I were in danger... would you protect me?"
"Ah? Of course, of course I would! If anyone dares to touch you, Sister Xiaowu will fight them with all her might. Unless I'm dead, they can forget about hurting you..." Xiaowu replied urgently, her small face flushed with excitement. She was willing to do anything for Ye Qiu.
"Haha... Little San, in a situation like this, would you still protect Xiaowu?" Ye Qiu looked at Tang San with a beaming smile.
Tang San's already dark complexion grew even darker. He didn't understand... Could it be that the matter of Ye Qiu having a fiancée was false? Tang San tried his best to maintain his composure, forcing a smile. "Of course I'm will..."
"Haha... Little San, I'm just kidding with you. How could I let Xiaowu stand in front of me?!" Before Tang San could finish speaking, Ye Qiu interrupted him, raising his hand and pulling Xiaowu into his embrace.
Ye Qiu didn't believe Tang San's words. He was the best at hiding his strength, waiting for others to get injured or low on health before unleashing his full power.
Also,
When Tang Hao was about to make a move, could Tang San stop him?
"Ah!"
Xiaowu let out a startled cry, then lay quietly in Ye Qiu's arms.
Tang San's breathing became a little heavy.
He felt as though the scene before him was a bit jarring, a sense of déjà vu where his goddess was being casually held and played with by a disgusting guy.
Tang San took a deep breath and asked, "Speaking of which, what exactly were you two doing just now?"
Ye Qiu, holding Xiaowu, looked at Tang San with a smile.
"Little San, you can rest assured, I didn't bully her. Xiaowu is blushing because I gave her a gift, and she was just too happy."
