Chapter 50 The culprit slept soundly, but he didn't sleep all night.

Xiao Jinchuan didn't have time to think about it, he threw down the towel and ran into the bedroom.

"What's wrong?"

Song Yunqing was standing at the door. When she saw Xiao Jinchuan coming in, she immediately jumped on him, hugged him like an octopus, and wrapped her legs around his back.

Her hand trembled as she pointed at the corner of the wall: "Old...rat!"

Xiao Jinchuan was caught in the embrace and was stunned for a moment.

He looked in the direction Song Yunqing pointed, and sure enough, he saw a gray mouse hiding behind a cardboard box, its black bean-sized eyes still rolling around.

When Xiao Jinchuan moved, Song Yunqing hugged him tighter.

Even his voice was trembling.

"Don't leave!"

"I'm not leaving. I'm kicking him out!"

But Song Yunqing not only did not come down, but instead held him tightly in his arms.

"Then... then hurry up!"

Xiao Jinchuan was a little helpless, but he still pushed Song Yunqing up and asked her to hold him tighter.

Li Suhua and Xiao Wenbin, who heard the screams outside the door, also rushed over.

Li Suhua, still wearing her clothes, asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened..."

But when Li Suhua saw Song Yunqing hanging on Xiao Jinchuan, she immediately pulled Xiao Wenbin away.

"Let's go, it should be fine!"

Even if something happens, it is a matter between husband and wife.

Before Xiao Jinchuan even had time to explain, he saw the old couple coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.

He wasn't even given a chance to explain.

As a result of this interruption, the mouse started running around again.

"Ahhhhh, Xiao Jinchuan, hurry up!"

“Hurry up, hurry up!”

Li Suhua was listening outside and her face turned red.

Aren’t these two people making too much noise?

Wouldn't it be bad if the neighbors heard it?

Song Yunqing, who had no idea that she had been misunderstood, was still pointing at the mouse and screaming.

"Don't look, close your eyes and leave it to me!"

Xiao Jinchuan grabbed the back of Song Yunqing's head with his right hand and pressed her into his arms.

His left hand bore the weight of his entire body, supporting her and preventing her from falling.

Then he freed his right hand, picked up the tongs next to him without saying a word, and poked the corner with quick, accurate and fierce movements.

“Bang!”

The mouse was so frightened that it rushed to the door in a panic.

Xiao Jinchuan caught up in a flash. Even though he was holding someone in his arms, he was still agile and kicked the mouse far away, hitting the wall outside.

Besides being frightened, Song Yunqing still found time to marvel at Xiao Jinchuan's amazing arm strength!

The mouse died after the violent collision.

He then looked at Song Yunqing in his arms: "Okay, the mouse is dead."

Song Yunqing was still in shock. Her face turned pale as she looked up and met Xiao Jinchuan's eyes.

The room was so quiet that it seemed that only the sound of the two people's heartbeats could be heard.

"you……"

Song Yunqing swallowed and asked, "Did you step on it to death?"

"No, he must have been killed in a collision."

"Then...it won't be resurrected?"

Song Yunqing asked cautiously.

Xiao Jinchuan: “…”

"No, they're all dead!"

He was silent for two seconds and placed Song Yunqing steadily on the ground.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Xiao Jinchuan's hand was still on her waist, not letting go.

Song Yunqing looked up and found that his face was close to her, his breath was warm and his eyes were deep.

"Afraid of mice?" he asked in a low voice.

Song Yunqing replied softly: "...Yeah."

Xiao Jinchuan stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly said, "I'll buy some medicine for you at home. Try not to go out at night."

"What if I want to go to the bathroom?"

"Call me."

Song Yunqing felt his heart beating inexplicably fast.

"good!"

He waited until Song Yunqing lay down on the bed and wrapped himself in the quilt, leaving only his furry head exposed, before he prepared to go to the bathroom.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, Song Yunqing grabbed his arm.

He asked pitifully, "Where are you going?"

"…restroom."

"Can I not go?"

Xiao Jinchuan: "What do you think?"

Song Yunqing stood up swiftly and put on his clothes: "Then I'll go with you."

"I've chased the rat away. You don't have to be afraid. Besides, it's easier to meet them if you follow me now, right?"

Song Yunqing compared in her mind which was more frightening: encountering a mouse alone in the bedroom or encountering a mouse with Xiao Jinchuan, and then she decisively chose to go out with him.

Xiao Jinchuan had no choice but to take her with him.

Song Yunqing didn't dare to go far, and followed him closely. The hems of their clothes rubbed against each other, and her thumb and index finger pinched Xiao Jinchuan's cuffs.

When he reached the toilet door, Xiao Jinchuan was in trouble.

"Why don't you let me go first, I'm going to the bathroom."

Song Yunqing didn't say anything and didn't let go of his hand.

Xiao Jinchuan really had no other choice but to find a long stick nearby, hold one end himself, and put the other end in Song Yunqing's hand.

"I'll be out soon."

Song Yunqing then let go of his sleeve and waited at the toilet door with a wronged look on his face.

Li Suhua looked out the window with a look of relief on her face.

"Look, how good their relationship is."

Xiao Wenbin turned over and asked, "Isn't it inappropriate for you to stare at me like that?"

"I wasn't staring at anyone. I just saw him suddenly."

Although he said this, Li Suhua still withdrew his gaze.

This trip was really worthwhile. Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law have such a good relationship, she felt more motivated to work when she got home.

After Xiao Jinchuan went to the toilet and washed his hands, the two of them lay on the bed.

At first there was still some distance between them, but after a while, Xiao Jinchuan felt that Song Yunqing was getting closer and closer to him.

Until the two people's arms touched each other completely.

Only then did Song Yunqing stop moving and fell asleep contentedly.

But Xiao Jinchuan couldn't sleep at all. He had just washed his face and finally suppressed the heat, and now she was lying next to him again.

He seemed to be frozen by something. He was still standing at attention like a soldier, even though he should have been relaxing.

The only difference is that one is lying down and the other is standing.

Song Yunqing was very restless when sleeping, and soon rolled up the quilt, and Xiao Jinchuan was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

But the impulse there was like a pot of fire roasting him, and as the quilt moved and rubbed, it gradually became uncontrollable.

He endured it again and again, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

He was ashamed of himself.

It shouldn't be like this!

But physical changes cannot be deceived. The man who always thought he had no desire in this regard, at this moment, completely overturned his perception of himself.

His self-control collapsed so quickly in front of Song Yunqing.

He silently despised himself in his heart, but he had to find a way to calm it down.

After Song Yunqing fell into a deep sleep, he got up and walked to the bathroom, pouring cold water over his head.

The temperature was not high in the early autumn evening, and this basin of water completely extinguished his anger.

It also gave him a cold.

“A-choo…A-…A-choo!”

This was the countless times Xiao Jinchuan had sneezed.

The clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative looked at him and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you want rat poison? Not cold medicine?"

Just as Xiao Jinchuan was about to answer, he sneezed loudly again.

The clerk put the rat poison in his hand and thought again and again, no one would mistake rat poison for cold medicine, right?

That shouldn’t be the case, right?

He was still a little worried, so he stopped Xiao Jinchuan who was walking to the door and said, "Deputy Captain Xiao, that's rat poison in your hand. It's for rats, not humans."

Xiao Jinchuan looked bewildered: "I know."

He just has a cold, not a brain problem.

Even a fool knows that rat poison cannot be put in the mouth.

When Xiao Jinchuan returned home, Song Yunqing was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, looking very lazy.

Chatting with Li Suhua haphazardly.

Xiao Jinchuan suddenly felt that his whole heart was filled. All the people he cared about were here.

"A-choo!"

A loud sneeze attracted Song Yunqing's attention.

"Why do you have a cold?"

Xiao Jinchuan was too embarrassed to say that it was because he took a cold shower last night.

"Maybe... there's a big temperature difference between morning and night."

"Is there?"

Song Yunqing looked at him in confusion. He was fine when he went to bed last night, so how come he had such a serious cold when he woke up?

Could it be... because I snatched the quilt last night?

A faint emotion filled my heart.

"What did you take? It looks like medicine. Drink it quickly."

"It's medicine, but it's not for me."

Song Yunqing immediately said, "I don't drink either. I don't have a cold."

What she feared most was taking medicine. Others would just throw a handful of medicine into their mouths and swallow it in one gulp, but her throat was too thin, so she could only take two or three pills at a time, and even then, the medicine would get stuck in her throat.

Once, a licorice tablet got stuck in her throat and the taste kept coming up, making her so nauseous that she almost vomited.

Since then, she has been able to go without medication.

"It's not for you either."

"Who is that for?"

"Give me what you were afraid of last night."

"That's just old..."

Before Song Yunqing could finish her words, Xiao Jinchuan gently covered her mouth.

"Don't say certain things out loud. Those things have sharp ears and won't eat if they hear them."

"Is this true?"

She pulled Xiao Jinchuan's hand away. How come this guy is becoming more and more adept at physical contact?

"real."

Song Yunqing watched him doubtfully as he scattered the medicine around the courtyard wall and at the bedroom door.

The kitchen corner was not left out either.

He even specially called Song Yunqing over and pointed out to her the places where the medicine was spread, telling her not to get confused and not to pick up anything that fell.

Song Yunqing nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Jinchuan, I have a question."

"What's the problem?"

"Tell me, if rat poison expires, is it less toxic or more toxic?"

Xiao Jinchuan felt like these words had blown his brain apart.

"you……"

Song Yunqing blinked: "What's wrong?"

He actually wanted to ask where this tricky question came from.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally said seriously: "There is still some left in the bag. You can try it after it expires."

After dinner, Xiao Jinchuan wrote and drew on the notebook. He wrote many people's names, but crossed them out one by one.

A hint of irritation also appeared between his eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Are you having any problems? I can help you solve them!"

Xiao Jinchuan couldn't help but think of the request from yesterday and decisively refused her help.

Song Yunqing placed the cup in front of him: "Don't be busy yet, drink this!"
