"What... So you can get away with just a few snacks? This girl is too easy to fool."
Xia Che scratched his head. Wen Chenlu's earnestness seemed genuine, and her eyes were full of sincerity.
If I had known it was this easy, wouldn't I have done it sooner?
Why did we have to wait until now, to the point that Wen Chenlu was furious with us?
But no matter what, achieving the goal is a good thing...
Xia Che was very satisfied with this.
Wen Chenlu is fine because Xia Che found her early and rescued her in time. She only developed a fever because the lake water was cold and she was lacking energy after exercising. Now, thanks to Su Miaorou's treatment, her fever has subsided and she is fine.
Wen Chenlu sat on the bed, eating a candied hawthorn slowly with her left hand and her right. She seemed very satisfied. Although she was still expressionless, it was not hard to tell from her slightly narrowed eyes that Wen Chenlu was very happy at the moment.
Xia Che found a chair and sat down, looking at Wen Chenlu in front of him.
Her face was pale from the recent high fever, but it couldn't hide Wen Chenlu's beautiful features. She nibbled on the candied hawthorn, like a little hamster that had just escaped from its cage.
For no apparent reason, Xia Che suddenly remembered the words his master had left him when he healed Wen Chenlu: "When chatting with Xiaolu, don't speak in riddles. Just say what you mean. Whatever her answer is, it's the truth. Don't misinterpret or misunderstand what she means."
How could Master make someone completely believe what this troublesome, emotionally detached brat said?
Xia Che smiled dismissively and shook his head, feeling that his master still didn't understand Wen Chenlu at all.
I know myself well enough!
They say you have to strike a snake at its vital spot. Xia Che felt he was a qualified and mature snake catcher at this moment, and Wen Chenlu was the rebellious snake.
As he thought about it, Xia Che couldn't help but smile slightly. He looked down and smiled, his expression full of pride.
Wen Chenlu chewed on her food, her big eyes blinking. She also noticed Xia Che's expression, but she didn't understand why the young master was so happy.
Moreover, there was one thing Wen Chenlu couldn't understand.
Why did Xia Che think she was world-weary?
Wen Chenlu thought about it carefully, and she was absolutely certain that she had never had any thoughts of being suicidal.
The answer is then quite obvious...
"Young Master, you must have misunderstood."
Wen Chenlu's cheeks puffed out, and Xia Che's smile deepened as he sat in front of her, his smugness evident even to her.
After thinking it over, Wen Chenlu still couldn't bear to tell Xia Che the truth.
Since the young master likes to think this way, then let's just say he's world-weary.
It's nice to have someone around who cares about you.
For the first time, Xia Che appeared in Wen Chenlu's eyes. Although she couldn't understand what love was or what her emotions were, she subconsciously wanted to get close to Xia Che.
The relationship between the two grew closer after this unexpected event.
Xia Che was unaware that he had misunderstood. After noticing that Wen Chenlu no longer had any suicidal thoughts, he became even more certain that he was the snake catcher. His vanity was greatly satisfied, so he naturally did not realize that something was wrong.
...
As the memories faded, Xia Che sighed and gave a wry smile as he looked at the little girl kneeling on his lap with a happy expression on her face.
Your room might really be incompatible with something.
People have broken in time and time again; the door lock is practically useless!
What's the point of such a useless lock if it can't even keep out a few women?
"Xiao Lu just got back? Have the planning areas all been selected?"
There was nothing he could do; he hadn't seen Wen Chenlu for a long time, and he couldn't just kick her out as soon as he arrived. Xia Che sighed inwardly, realizing that he was destined not to sleep tonight.
"Yes, as you said, that tile-roofed house has also been included in the planning area."
Wen Chenlu answered all her questions, her dark purple Lolita dress spreading out from all sides, the hem resembling a dark purple lotus flower.
Late at night, a lone man and woman, with a little girl sitting on his lap.
If he hadn't been woken up by being sat on, Xia Che felt he probably wouldn't have disliked the scene.
"Is that so...that's good."
Xia Che nodded. He originally thought that entrusting this matter to the single-minded little girl in front of him would be ruined by her, who only had murder on her mind. That's why he planned to let Ning Zheyuan exercise after he woke up.
I never expected Wen Chenlu to be so capable this time, managing to get everything done all by herself?
That's progress...
"But what exactly did she come to my house for this time? Is it really appropriate to just ask directly? It seems that, according to my memory, the original owner and this little girl had a pretty good relationship..."
Xia Che stroked his chin, racking his brains to figure out what Wen Chenlu had come for. Judging from her expression, she clearly didn't intend to tell him.
The way he asked a question and the other person answered it perfectly matched the autistic kid persona from the original owner's memories.
But if you don't ask, how can you expect this withdrawn kid to tell you on his own?
What the hell are you talking about...?
"Um... could you get off my lap first? If you sit on my calves, I can only lie down."
Xia Che touched his nose, intending to proceed gradually.
That's true, the blanket he was using was quite thin, and then Wen Chenlu sat on his calf, the wonderfully warm touch making him very imaginative.
But that won't do!
Even though Wen Chenlu is older than me, she looks like a little girl no matter how you look at her.
Even with such suggestive and ambiguous poses, Xia Che might not have any other thoughts if it were someone else; he would simply enjoy it silently. But…
Who would have designs on a little girl?
Can someone who has feelings for a little girl be considered human?
Xia Che felt extremely awkward at that moment, as if the large Simmons mattress had become a prison, confining him.
Not only did I not enjoy it at all, but I also felt extremely awkward...
"Lying down is fine too, you need to rest more."
Unexpectedly, Wen Chenlu not only didn't get up, but instead seriously moved closer to Xia Che's thigh. Now, she was completely unable to get up, whereas before she could move around a bit.
Xia Che felt a sudden tightness as he sensed the warmth of that close proximity, and his expression twisted in shock.
Holy crap!
So close! So close! Ahhh!
Xia Che was just a hair's breadth away from becoming an utterly wicked beast.
What's wrong with this girl?
Why don't you sit up and chat face-to-face?
It feels really strange to just lie here like this!
"I've already heard about what happened to the Xia family."
Wen Chenlu didn't notice Xia Che's frustration; her little face was unusually serious.
"...Huh?"
Xia Che was stunned. He seemed to understand why Wen Chenlu had come to find him so late.
only……
It's been so long, and you're only just receiving this message?
