Su Lu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a mixture of surprise and excitement, and asked incoherently, "You really, really want to live together? You're not lying to me?"

Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Really? It couldn't be more real, even more real than pearls."

Su Lu was finally relieved to receive Qin Xiaoxiao's affirmative answer and excitedly hugged her tightly.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. Even if we live with the elderly, I will treat you just as well. I will help you with the housework, so you don't have to do it yourself. Well, actually there isn't much housework. My grandma and my mom do almost everything. It's just cooking, sweeping the yard, and feeding the chickens. You can do it if you want, or let my mom do it if you don't want to."

Qin Xiaoxiao's lips twitched. "Does your mother know how much trouble you've caused her?"

Su Lu released Qin Xiaoxiao, lay back on the kang, and waved his hand indifferently, "This is nothing. My mother is used to doing this, it's not much work. I'll help her with it later, so you don't need to lift a finger."

His mother isn't very old, so more exercise is good for her health.

Qin Xiaoxiao was speechless, silently mourning for her future mother-in-law.

If she had a son like Su Lu, she would beat him eight times a day.

Su Lu never expected that Qin Xiaoxiao would make up her mind at this moment to raise her child in a free-range manner. How free-range would she be?

To put it simply, she wanted to be a complete pampered girl, someone who couldn't lift a finger, a delicate little thing who couldn't even carry a scallion.

My son has to do all the chores. This is to cultivate his independence early on, making him realize from a young age that his mom is useless and insatiable, and that her job is simply to keep him safe. (This works, really; that's how I raised my son, and now I have so much less to worry about.)

To prevent her son from harming her in the future, Qin Xiaoxiao went all out and came up with a brilliant idea in the blink of an eye.

Instead of waiting to be betrayed by his son, he should throw his son into the pit first. Once the son gets used to being at the bottom of the pit, he won't be able to betray him anymore.

"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow. It could be a month or twenty days before I come back. If you need anything during this time, go to your house and ask Brother Qin Ye for help. If it's a small matter, Qin Er Gou and Qin Er Zhu can also help you with it."

Also, don't go up the mountain alone after I leave. It's spring now, and it's dangerous up there.

Su Lu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao nervously, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Qin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.

Is this what they're waiting for her to ask?

Unfortunately, she didn't want to ask anything.

It's not that I don't want to ask, it's just that the time isn't right yet. I can ask after we get married.

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, looking at Su Lu with reluctance, "I know, be careful when you're out there, don't be reckless, avoid trouble if you can, and take more money with you, don't be stingy with it, take good care of yourself so you can take better care of me."

Although he was disappointed that Qin Xiaoxiao didn't ask him why he was going out, he was happy that she cared about him. Su Lu smiled and hugged her, "Well, don't worry, I still have to earn money to come back and marry you."

If he has two more babies, his life will be complete.

Qin Xiaoxiao patted Su Lu's shoulder to make him let go of her, then stared intently at him.

“Su Lu, I know you have a secret, but I don’t want to ask you now. I want you to tell me yourself. When that day comes, I will also tell you a secret.”

From the day she came into this world, Qin Xiaoxiao was prepared for the secrets of her space to be exposed. After all, she didn't plan to be single and still wanted to find a lover to live a fulfilling life.

In her past life, she struggled alone in the apocalypse. She had had enough of that kind of life. She wanted to have a family, a husband who loved and doted on her, and one or two children to keep her company until she grew old.

Once she decides to get married, her secret will be exposed sooner or later, unless she stops using the space. But that's impossible. Not only is she used to the space, but the vast amount of resources inside are her capital for buying a house and living a life of ease in the future. She doesn't want to leave all the good stuff in the space unused and struggle on her own.

If you suffer, you'll only hurt yourself. Why choose to live a life of hardship when you can live a better one?

As for rebirth and past lives, we can put those aside for now, and we can't talk about transmigrating into a book either, unless we accidentally let it slip one day.

She wanted to see what kind of expression Su Lu would have when he found out he was just a two-dimensional character.

Su Lu wasn't surprised that Qin Xiaoxiao had a secret. Everyone has their own little secrets, and as long as the secret didn't harm her, he didn't care.

Su Lu smiled and patted Qin Xiaoxiao's head. "Silly girl, you don't need to tell me your secret. You can keep it to yourself. Even the best people in this world might betray you one day. Don't trust anyone easily."

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Then can I trust you? Would you betray me?"

Su Lu cupped Qin Xiaoxiao's face in his hands, looked directly into her eyes, and stared at her intently, revealing his sincerity and love to her without any reservation. He was completely different from his usual carefree self, and became serious and earnest.

"You can trust me for now, but when you feel that I don't love you enough, please keep your love and bottom line, keep your new secret, and don't put yourself in danger."

I'm a traditional person; once I've made up my mind, it's the only one. You are the only one for me in this life. As long as you're willing to spend your life with me, I will belong to you forever and will never betray you.

Qin Xiaoxiao, you will never wait until the day I stop loving you. For your secret and the promise I made now, I will do everything in my power to make you feel my love at all times, until the end of my life.

At that moment, Su Lu's earnest expression was deeply imprinted in Qin Xiaoxiao's heart. Even long afterward, whenever Qin Xiaoxiao thought of how Su Lu spoke to her that day, she couldn't help but feel her heart race.

Qin Xiaoxiao clutched her heart, feeling it pound wildly in response to his words. She would remember this moment until the end of her life.

Half an hour later, Su Lu, her face flushed, jumped over the back wall of the educated youth compound as if fleeing, leaning against the wall, covering her face and grinning secretly.

He really wanted to marry her as soon as possible; he wanted to hold his wife and warm the bed with her.

Qin Xiaoxiao fell asleep contentedly, only to wake up the next morning and remember that her new fiancé was going to be away from her for a month.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't have time to wash up; she put on her clothes and shoes and rushed out of the educated youth compound.

Mu Jin, who was washing up, blinked and stared blankly at the courtyard wall.

Was she seeing things or was she still half asleep? She thought she saw something jump over the courtyard wall and rush out.

That figure, isn't it Qin Xiaoxiao?

Thinking of Qin Xiaoxiao's delicate figure and beautiful face, Mu Jin shook her head.

How could that be? With her small frame, she probably couldn't even climb up a ladder.

Su Yu said that when Qin Xiaoxiao first came to Qinjiagou to work in the fields, she couldn't even win a tug-of-war with the weeds. How could someone like that possibly climb over a wall? (End of Chapter)
