Before she could even step out of the kitchen door, Cui Ziqi, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, spoke calmly.
Where to?
Xia Wan paused, then muttered, "Just wandering around."
"There's construction going on over there, it's very dangerous, you're not allowed to go."
Cui Ziqi turned to look at her, his dark eyes filled with displeasure.
Xia Wan stood at the kitchen doorway, speechless.
"I'm not a child, can't I just stand by and watch? Is the tomb building going to collapse?"
"The abilities of that group of useless people cannot be fully trusted."
Xia Wan: ……
You're amazing! Only if you build the tomb tower will it not collapse!
Xia Wan only dared to complain silently in her heart.
But she really didn't go towards the cemetery.
She was about to step into the kitchen again when Cui Ziqi stopped her.
"You're not allowed in the kitchen either."
Cui Ziqi frowned even more deeply and subconsciously hid the knife in his hand to the side.
Is he worried that she'll try to kill herself with a knife again?
Xia Wan stood at the door, unsure whether to go in or back out.
My temper flared up instantly.
She angrily yelled at Cui Ziqi:
"Are you going to make me stand here like a door god?"
She wouldn't listen to him.
She walked into the kitchen.
Cui Ziqi's face darkened, and he threw down the knife in his hand and walked towards her.
Xia Wan's arrogance quickly subsided, and she turned and ran out of the kitchen.
"Call me when the food is ready!"
Cui Ziqi gritted his teeth and watched Xia Wan's retreating figure.
They're getting more and more disobedient!
However, he didn't actually chase after them.
He felt that Xia Wan was safer outside than in the kitchen.
There are quite a few knives in the kitchen.
The sound of boiling water came from the stove. He reluctantly looked away, returned to the stove, and threw the freshly slaughtered pig's trotters into the pot.
Xia Wan ran towards the tomb building.
Cui Ziqi didn't chase after her, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
This little psychopath's controlling nature is absolutely outrageous!
The people on this side of the tomb building are busy, piling up stones on the ground against the wall and covering them with cement. They are all working very hard.
Xiao Gu saw Xia Wan walking this way and felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
He didn't even bother directing the people to wallpaper the wall; he rushed to Xia Wan's side.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
He looked back at Xia Wan with lingering hope that Brother Qi would come and take her back.
If she were to stumble and fall here, he'd definitely get a hole in his head.
Xia Wan almost rolled her eyes when she saw Xiao Gu looking as nervous as a zombie.
Is this necessary?
She was still quite a distance from the tomb tower!
"I'm just looking around, don't worry about me, go do your thing."
"That won't do!" Xiao Gu exclaimed anxiously, "Sister-in-law, if you get hurt, Brother Qi will really kill me!"
He clasped his hands together in prayer towards Xia Wan, pleading, "I'm begging you, sister-in-law, please go somewhere else to play."
Xia Wan, who was disliked: ...
Anger was stuck in my chest.
Xia Wan glanced at him indifferently, then turned and left.
It's all Cui Ziqi's fault; she's become such an annoying person!
She stormed back to her study and scribbled a dog's head over the portrait of Cui Ziqi that Cui Ziqi had forced her to draw a couple of days ago.
When Cui Ziqi finished cooking and came upstairs to call her, she was still angry.
The huge dog head on the drawing board faces the doorway, ensuring that Cui Ziqi can see the dog head as soon as he enters.
Cui Ziqi laughed in anger when she saw the dog head.
He was wearing white loungewear, a stark contrast to his usual dark and somber appearance. He suddenly seemed more sunny and cheerful, and his refined features softened in the light and shadow. The slight upturn of his lips carried no hint of hostility.
Xia Wan glanced at him, then turned away and ignored him.
Cui Ziqi walked over to her and squatted down, glancing at the huge dog head on the drawing board.
"Is this me?"
Xia Wan said irritably, "Can't you tell?"
Who else is a dog besides you?
Cui Ziqi examined the entire painting and gave a careful evaluation: "Not bad, the level is still very high."
Xia Wan was furious and slapped away his outstretched hand.
"Who gave you permission to comment? Cui Ziqi, I'm angry, I'm angry!"
Why are you angry?
His eyes were filled with confusion, as if he truly didn't understand why she was angry.
Xia Wan lunged forward and grabbed his neck.
Cui Ziqi fell backward onto the carpet, and Xia Wan straddled him, pretending to pinch him fiercely.
Xia Wan: "Don't you know why I'm angry? Am I your dog? You tell me to go east and I can only go east? I can't even get into the kitchen, and even the people over at the cemetery look down on me!"
Cui Ziqi calmly put his arm around her waist, letting her pinch him with that negligible force.
Hearing Xia Wan's last words, his face darkened. "Who dares to look down on you? Tell me, and I'll avenge you."
"You! It's you!"
How could I possibly dislike you?
Cui Ziqi felt wronged, and her gaze towards Xia Wan carried a hint of resentment.
"If you despise me, then the people around you will despise me too. They won't let me near the cemetery!"
Xia Wan was very annoyed.
Watching Cui Ziqi lying smugly on the ground, revealing her pale, slender neck.
Her Adam's apple bobbed on her thumb, and she leaned down and bit down hard.
Cui Ziqi let out a muffled groan, his muscles tensing instantly, and a few flashes of fire flickered in his dark eyes.
Xia Wan bit down hard, her sharp teeth piercing his skin and drawing out a few drops of blood.
She tasted blood and felt regretful after venting her anger.
She's been increasingly unable to control her emotions lately, feeling irritable and depressed. Even the slightest negative emotion can be amplified many times over, just like she is now.
After venting her emotions, she couldn't help but apologize.
