Jing Li looked up at Qin Zhao, blinked his innocent eyes, then lowered his head without answering immediately.

Qin Zhao curled up the fingers hanging at his side.

This was indeed a bit offensive, and Qin Zhao even felt a little regretful after saying it.

He acknowledged his husband in front of the villagers today because the little one looked like that lying on his bed. If he didn't say that, he would inevitably be suspected.

But what about now?

Qin Zhao himself couldn't tell how much of his words were a joke and how much were sincere.

Qin Zhao considered himself not a frivolous person.

Ever since he lost his memory and ended up stranded here, Qin Zhao had always told himself to be careful with his words and actions. But ever since he met this little fish, his principles had been broken time and time again.

Whenever I meet this little guy, I can't help but tease him, wanting to see him look even cuter.

But when he saw Xiaoyu thinking seriously, Qin Zhao couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

How would he answer?

The room was silent for a while. The little fellow lowered his head and thought for a long time, his bare toes tapping lightly on the ground, just like the tail of a fish that always gently splashes in the water when he is free.

After cooking fish for so long, it takes a while for me to change my habits as a human being.

After a while, Qin Zhao finally couldn't stand the silence any longer and whispered, "If you don't want to..."

"I'm not unwilling!" Jing Li interrupted him immediately, seeming a little nervous. "No, it doesn't matter. Whatever you want is fine. I'm not unwilling."

Qin Zhao was stunned.

At that moment, it was as if something broke out from the depths of my heart, and the hesitation just now seemed to no longer matter.

"You..." Qin Zhao's voice was a little hoarse, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious!" Jing Li said firmly, "I mean what I say. I will definitely fulfill your wish, as long as you don't chase me away..."

Qin Zhao asked, "Are you so afraid of being driven away by me?"

"Yeah..." Jing Li said, "I have no family or friends here. If you don't take me in, I don't know where to go."

He was afraid that Qin Zhao would still not agree, so he assured her, "Don't worry, I will learn to make money and help you with the housework and farm work. I won't just eat and drink for free and let you support me."

Xiaoyu rarely looked so serious. Qin Zhao raised his hand and gently touched his head.

"It's okay." Qin Zhao said, "You don't need to force yourself to do that."

He walked to the closet, took out a pair of shoes, then returned to the bed and squatted down: "These clothes don't fit you well.

Take your measurements tonight, and I'll go to town tomorrow to make you a few new sets."

"Um!"

He helped Jing Li put on his shoes and helped him stand up: "Let's go, I'll go cook for you."

Jing Li was very active at this time. He obediently moved a stool to sit next to the stove, looking at Qin Zhao intently.

Watching Qin Zhao cook is one of Jing Li’s rare daily pastimes. Now that he has become a human being, he can’t change this habit for a while.

He himself didn't think there was anything strange about this, but Qin Zhao didn't think so.

After all…having a fish staring at you is a completely different feeling than having a person staring at you.

Besides, that person's eyes are so...

Qin Zhao endured it again and again, and breathed a sigh of relief silently: "Xiao Yu."

Jing Li: “Hmm?”

"Stop looking at me."

"?" Jing Li blinked, and without asking any more questions, he turned around obediently, "Is this okay?"

——I have a strong sense of being dependent on others and need to be obedient.

Qin Zhao: "..."

Jing Li lowered his head, stretched out his legs, and swayed back and forth on tiptoe, bored.

He was only wearing Qin Zhao's robe with a belt tied around his waist, but he couldn't control the hem of his lower body, and his long and straight calves were faintly visible in the hem as he swayed.

He felt that his long hair was in the way, so he gathered it all up and draped it over one shoulder, revealing a small section of his smooth, white neck.
