Xie Zhuo got up and followed Xu Yan into the house.

As soon as she stepped inside, Xu Yan opened her mouth and said, "See? You won't eat today if you can't watch."

Xie Zhuo didn't say anything.

"Hurry up," Xu Yan slapped his arm, "You haven't eaten anything else this morning..."

She had only spoken halfway when Xie Zhuo suddenly leaned in and gently touched her.

Because her mouth was open, Xie Zhuo's movements became even smoother.

A soft, warm tongue probed directly into her mouth.

The time was very short.

A few seconds later, he gently bit her lower lip again.

Xu Yan: "..."

“You,” she said, looking at Xie Zhuo.

“There are no burns or blisters inside,” Xie Zhuo said seriously. “The room is too dark, so this way it’s easier to check.”

hehe.

In all her life, she had never heard of anyone burning their mouth with hot water.

“Thank you, baby,” Xu Yan said, “you’re really starting to resemble a thug, you know that?”

“You are my wife,” Xie Zhuo said.

That's what she said, but as she walked out of the house, Xu Yan saw Xie Zhuo's red ear tips again.

After the family of four finished eating, Xu Yan told Xie Zhuo about what happened that morning, and Xie Zhuo frowned as he listened.

“I’ll go with you next time,” Xie Zhuo said.

“Yeah,” Xu Yan nodded, “I was thinking this morning, if only you were here, but it’s alright, the cloth is coming back, it’s just that the Green Ox Brigade…”

“That brigade is in a bad location,” Xie Zhuo thought for a moment and said, “and the educated youth there don’t deserve any sympathy. I’ve heard of the person you’re talking about.”

Xu Yan looked at him.

“Those who came earlier than you to cut in line are all of questionable character,” Xie Zhuo said, glancing at Xu Yan.

"Hmm?" Xu Yan blinked.

"The two bad elements who were sent down to their brigade were tortured to death by them," Xie Zhuo said.
