Qin Zhao's hand holding the pen trembled, and the tip of the pen left a trace on the paper.

He looked back at the person kneeling beside the bed, who lost his innocent look and winked at him mischievously.

...He was taking revenge on Qin Zhao for calling him "Madam" casually during the day.

Although I don’t know what’s going on in this little fish’s mind, why she thinks calling him husband is a form of revenge.

But it must be said that he succeeded.

Qin Zhao withdrew his gaze and stared at the winding ink mark on the paper. His heart was restless for a long time and he couldn't concentrate on reading a single word for a while.

It was late at night, and Qin Zhao no longer wanted to make things difficult for himself, so he closed the book.

He deliberately rinsed his face twice with cold water before returning to the bedroom. Jing Li had already moved the small wooden bucket to the table. The bright red koi swam twice in the water and wagged its tail at Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao felt a little uneasy when he saw the fish body. He said "good night" casually and turned off the oil lamp on the table.

The moonlight poured into the cabin through the window. A little koi fish floated to the surface of the water, its eyes looking at the person on the bed.

After a while, the little koi jumped out of the barrel.

He is now very skilled in transforming into a human form.

He rolled over the dry towel on the table twice to wipe off the water droplets on his body, and then a faint red light flashed across his body.

A figure appeared in the house.

Jing Li casually grabbed the clothes lying beside him and put them on. He tiptoed up from the foot of the bed and was about to get under the quilt from the side against the wall when a voice suddenly rang out in the darkness: "What are you doing?"

Jing Li was so scared that his whole body trembled and the back of his head hit the white wall behind him.

The loud thud was particularly clear in the dark room. Jing Li was in so much pain that tears were about to come out. He fell down with his hands covering his head.

Qin Zhao quickly sat up and said, "Be careful. Let me see if you're hurt."

"Hmm..." Jing Li buried his face in the pillow and responded aggrievedly.

Qin Zhao felt the injured area and found no bleeding or swelling. He felt relieved and asked, "Why are you here so late at night?"

"I..." Jing Li raised one eye from the pillow and looked at him, curling his fingertips on the quilt and whispered, "I want to sleep here."

Qin Zhao: "..."

Qin Zhao asked: "Why?"

"because……"

Because Qin Zhao felt so comfortable in his arms.

Jing Li's body has been cold since he turned into a fish, and Qin Zhao's body temperature is neither too cold nor too hot. It feels just right to hold him in your arms, like a warm stove.

He didn't discover this until noon.

What a huge loss.

Qin Zhao did not answer.

He sat on the bed, the moonlight obscured by the window was dim, making the outline of his profile appear even deeper.

Jing Li looked at him for a long time, then reached out and tugged at his sleeve: "Qin Zhao..."

"The water is so cold, let me sleep here..."

"Husband..."

"..." Qin Zhao gritted his teeth, "Stop yelling."

Jing Li smiled secretly in his heart.

Who let this guy tease him during the day? He was obviously more susceptible to teasing than him. His vision was not obstructed by the night at all, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "Your ears are red."

Qin Zhao: "...Are you still going to sleep?"

"Sleep, sleep, sleep, I won't say anything more!"

For the next several days, Qin Zhao's eyes were tinged with a faint purple tint, and he was clearly a bit listless. Seeing him like this, Lin Changzhong was genuinely worried and even secretly approached him, asking him to be more restrained at night, as his health was already failing.

——The reputation cannot be saved at all.

On the other hand, Jing Li gradually felt like a fish in water after getting familiar with the village for a few days.

Not only does he go in and out with Qin Zhao every day, but he can also occasionally help him do some odd jobs, such as delivering meals to the villagers at the construction site, or visiting a villager.
