Xiaoxi turned her head and stared at Yan Mu. "Big brother, are you very concerned about this friend?"

Yan Mu felt a little embarrassed by the stares, and nodded solemnly again.

"Yes, Xiaoxi, I don't have many friends I can talk to."

Xiaoxi: "Okay, big brother, wait for me to make arrangements."

Xiaoxi thought that Yu Qiu was a member of their secret department, and "Southern Peach Blossoms" was Yu Qiu's last hidden bottom line. It wasn't that she didn't trust her older brother, but whether or not to see him or not should be discussed with Yu Qiu himself.

Xiaoxi returned to her fourth brother's house.

Su Linran and Hanmo had just gotten up a little while ago, and they went to the kitchen to prepare their own food.

Yu Qiu was happily helping her tidy up the vegetable garden.

Seeing that Xiaoxi had returned, he pulled her into the house and went to look at the osmanthus tree.

Xiaoxi was pleasantly surprised to see that the osmanthus tree had grown tall and was showing signs of blooming.

"Wow, Yu Qiu, you're amazing! The osmanthus tree has grown so big in just one morning!"

Yu Qiu humbly said, "Minister, it's not that I'm amazing, it's that the osmanthus fruit you gave me is amazing; it's very suitable for growing here."

Xiaoxi knew that the osmanthus flowers given by Grandpa Old Osmanthus Tree had been used up, and she was worried about the day when they would run out.

Although Grandpa Old Osmanthus Tree is in Fifth Brother Star Palace, we can't shamelessly ask for it again.

As it turned out, Grandpa Osmanthus Tree understood Xiaoxi. In the peach grove, the newly planted osmanthus tree suddenly bloomed a small portion of its flowers, filling the air with fragrance.

"It's blooming! That's wonderful!" Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Could it be that Grandpa Osmanthus Tree had received her thoughts?

She picked a osmanthus flower and could feel its powerful magic, almost as strong as the basket of osmanthus flowers that Grandpa Old Osmanthus had given her.

Xiaoxi collected the first batch of flowers from the osmanthus tree and silently thanked the old osmanthus tree in her heart.

Then she remembered why she had come back to find Yu Qiu.

"Yu Qiu, my neighbor's older brother, Yan Mu, said he wants to meet you. What do you mean by that?"

Yu Qiu blushed almost imperceptibly.

"By the way, did that fox demon do anything to him? He's taciturn and in poor health, isn't he? I'm worried about him..."

Xiaoxi understood immediately and laughed, "That means it's visible."

Xiao Xi told Yu Qiu about how Fox Demon No. 2 had embarrassed himself in public at noon, and Yu Qiu felt very relieved.

“Minister, we can’t let him know about this painting, especially now that we need to help him cultivate osmanthus trees.”

"Okay, then Yu Qiu will go and check my vegetable garden again to see which vegetables are suitable for transplanting."

Yu Qiu felt that she had found a new goal in life by doing things for Xiao Xi.

It was more meaningful than her favorite painting.

Xiaoxi invited Yanmu to her house and told him that some of her friends were visiting that day.

Yan Mu looked at the woman busy in the vegetable garden and recognized her as Yu Qiu at a glance. Although Yu Qiu's appearance was ordinary now, his feelings for her could not be changed.

"Okay, you two can talk downstairs, we'll go upstairs to talk."

Xiao Xi invited Su Linran and Yan Mo to go upstairs to the terrace to eat fruit.

Downstairs, Yan Mu learned of Yu Qiu's painful experience and was furious; he could even empathize with her.

When Xiaoxi and the others came downstairs, Yan Mu had already made up his mind.

"Xiaoxi, that fox demon is too wicked. I've decided to continue feigning friendship with her until Xiaoxi destroys her!"

"Big brother, that's awesome!"

Xiaoxi never expected that this older brother next door would go to such lengths for Yu Qiu.

But she couldn't let her neighbor's older brother take such a risk, so Xiaoxi, just like with Du Xin, took out an osmanthus flower and imprinted it on Yan Mu's palm.

"Big brother, here's a osmanthus magic weapon for you. That fox demon won't be able to do anything to you."

Xiao Xi saw Yan Mu off.

Even as Yan Mu left, he could sense that Xiao Xi and Yu Qiu were having some kind of secret.

Since they didn't say anything, Yan Mu wouldn't ask, so he left reluctantly.
