Rooftop garden.
Xiao He stood under a green fruit tree and effortlessly picked the fruit from the top of the tree.
I took a bite, and it was a bit sour and astringent.
"They'll be ripe by autumn."
On the map, Wang Xuefeng's marker is rapidly approaching.
Xiao He instinctively wanted to revert to his original appearance, but then a cunning smile appeared on his face...
"puff--!!"
Wang Xuefeng, who had just folded up his wings and landed in front of her, couldn't help but exhale a breath.
Xiao He blinked his eyes, stood two meters tall, and opened his arms to him with a serious expression.
"Stop...stop it..."
Wang Xuefeng had been traveling and her hair was still damp with sweat; this incident caused her back to press against the railing.
"No, no, no!!!" He panicked for no apparent reason.
Xiao He mimicked Sang Mai Kui's sinister laugh and slowly approached him step by step.
The two were still six or seven centimeters apart in height. Wang Xuefeng felt like a little lamb leaning against a cliff, letting Xiao He's arm slowly climb up his shoulder.
"Unfortunately, Xiaoxing's voice changer hasn't been shipped yet..."
Xiao He spoke softly in his ear, her voice still in her original tone.
Wang Xuefeng's Adam's apple bobbed, he swallowed hard, and his neck swayed slightly backward.
"Hehehe..."
Xiao He's eyes were full of mischief. He climbed from his shoulder to his neck with his right hand and grabbed the railing beside him with his left.
A perfect "railway slam" followed.
"Have you ever heard the saying..." Just like he used to tease her with the tip of his nose, she leaned close to his ear and whispered it.
"Wh-what, what did you say..."
"Height determines offense and defense..."
“Then, then, isn’t that called ‘shou’ (受)?” Wang Xuefeng said, embarrassed.
“But aren’t you doing a good job guarding it now…” Xiao He’s smile grew even brighter.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuefeng looked down and realized that his hands had unconsciously assumed a defensive stance, making it impossible for her to get close.
"I, I, I'm a ranged AD carry..."
"Isn't it just that he's good at guarding the house?"
"You, you, you..."
Wang Xuefeng clearly had nowhere to retreat, but he didn't dare to suddenly fly away, so he could only put on a "big boss, have mercy" expression while sweating profusely.
"Come on, give me a kiss." Xiao He winked.
"No, no, no..." Wang Xuefeng wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Don't you love me anymore?"
"I didn't, I didn't..."
"Then why are you hiding?"
"This...this..."
"You can't see it, and there's no one else here." Xiao He found it increasingly amusing.
"What if... what if I can't bring myself to do it to Sangmaik in the future?" Even if he was about to die, Wang Xuefeng would try his best to fight for himself.
Buzz!
Without a word, Xiao He suddenly changed back into his original light dress, his bare feet dangling in the air.
However, she did not fall.
"Hahahahahahahaha..."
Wild laughter echoed through the vibrant, colorful garden.
"well……"
Wang Xuefeng helplessly put his arm around her waist, and after a long while, he smiled gently.
-
The summer weather was too hot, so Xiao He took Wang Xuefeng back home.
The latter went straight to the kitchen to get busy as soon as she changed her shoes.
"What delicious food are you going to make for me?"
When Xiao He was halfway through his work, he suddenly poked his head out, his eyes filled with barely concealed curiosity.
"Keep it a secret!" Wang Xuefeng didn't reveal much, and mysteriously took out a pottery jar.
Since he wouldn't tell, Xiao He decided to see for himself.
He took out several fist-sized eggs from the earthenware jar; they were translucent even when held up to the light.
"What kind of egg is this? Is it tasty?" Xiao He asked, biting his finger.
"Delicious! And especially nutritious for pregnant women! I went out of my way to go to the sea to collect them! Otherwise, I would have arrived this morning!" Wang Xuefeng carefully handled the eggs, his meticulous manner resembling that of someone carrying a jar of caviar.
"You even went diving in the sea?!" Xiao He exclaimed in shock. "That's very dangerous!"
"It's alright~ It's just ordinary sea~"
Wang Xuefeng was still very proud and was clearly very satisfied with his "work".
In half an hour, four dishes and a soup were ready.
"Dinner's ready!"
The two sat facing each other at the dining table.
Xiao He picked up his chopsticks, looked at the whole "glowing egg" in the bowl, and was moved to tears before he even ate it.
"Are you surnamed Zhong and named Hua Xiao Dangjia? Waaaaah!"
"Otherwise, why would your food glow? Waaaaah!"
Seeing her "crying" so heartbreakingly, Wang Xuefeng, sitting opposite her, couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow in his heart as well.
"I'm so sorry I couldn't be with you all the time, and you had to eat such unhealthy food every day..."
"The important thing is not 'whether it is nutritious or not,' but 'whether you made it.'"
Xiao He took a bite with tears in his eyes.
In an instant, a rich aroma of eggs filled my mouth and nose.
The warm, thick, and silky egg yolk seemed to slide continuously between the lips and teeth with just a gentle suck.
Although these eggs came from the deep sea, after being cooked by Wang Xuefeng, they no longer tasted fishy at all; all that remained was endless deliciousness…
As Xiao He ate, he actually burst into tears.
Wang Xuefeng, sitting opposite her, was stunned. He could sense that her emotions had indeed fluctuated significantly.
He put down his chopsticks and sat down next to Xiao He, gently embracing her.
"Um... I just..."
Xiao He wanted to say that he had suddenly felt nauseous, but he was afraid that Wang Xuefeng would misunderstand and say that he didn't like today's dishes.
So I tried to suppress the nausea and swallow every last bit of food in my mouth.
This made her feel even worse.
She realized that she might be able to use healing magic.
But this was the first time she had experienced morning sickness, and for some reason she wanted to remember it more clearly, so she gave up the idea of "treatment".
Holding her in his arms, Wang Xuefeng vaguely understood, so he didn't ask or urge her. Instead, he gently patted her back to help her gradually eliminate the discomfort.
The rich aroma filled the restaurant, enough to make anyone's stomach rumble.
Besides the freshest steamed eggs, there were also rare Lingshan chicken soup, Lingshan pickled vegetables, sea shrimp, and Xiao He's favorite braised pork belly on the table.
Apart from braised pork, all the other dishes were new recipes that Wang Xuefeng researched in his spare time.
Xiao He was unwilling to waste a single drop, let alone spit it out.
So, with these conflicting feelings, she slowly licked the egg liquid from the corner of her mouth, allowing her body to gradually accept the feeling of eating.
"I'm...much better now..."
Xiao He nestled in his arms, saying those words, but showed no intention of getting up to eat.
Wang Xuefeng glanced at her; the porridge in her bowl was untouched, only the small bowl containing steamed eggs was placed in front of her.
"Then... shall I feed you?" He brought the bowl to his lips and asked softly.
"Yes!" Xiao He nodded.
