After taking a bath and bandaging his wrist, Xia Xiao took a nap in the living room. Logically, he shouldn't do this since he was injured, but he finally had some time alone, so he did whatever he felt comfortable with. In his dream, Xia Xiao didn't see any evil ghosts or Shu Shuang, only the sound of knocking on the door.

Open the door, Xiaoran is back.

"What about Shangshan?"

"She said she would not come back tonight and would stay in the peach forest."

"Senior, do you agree?"

Xia Xiao slept for three or four hours and felt quite comfortable. But when Xiao Ran nodded, he was surprised.

"The senior said that we shouldn't be too harsh on her. She needs her own space, and the peach forest is a good place for peace of mind. I can't persuade the senior, so I have to come back first, but I always feel that Shangshan will cause trouble. How about I go back and take a look?"

"Forget it. The peach forest is so big and the roads change with the mountains. It will be difficult to find her once we leave. Even if the senior has confidence in her, we can't be too suspicious. Let's just let her go this time and talk about it later."

If she wasn't in the academy, Xia Xiao really wouldn't dare to let Shangshan run around. But now the evil spirit in her body has just been cleared. Although she did something wrong before, she should take a good rest for a while. She once said that she wanted to transform into a human form and experience the various aspects of the human world. Now is the beginning of her experience of the human world.

Xiao Ran sat on the futon in the living room and nodded slightly. The senior and Xia Xiao both said so, so she naturally had no doubts. Although she didn't like Shangshan very much, because of her appearance, she still hoped that she would be a little gentler. It was just too selfish to force others to follow one's own wishes.

"By the way, why did Shangshan have daytime lines on his body?"

"You saw it?"

"Yeah! When you were in the demon world before, day patterns appeared on her right arm."

"It's hard to explain. Our relationship is a little complicated now. I don't know where the future is headed."

Xiaoran didn't dare to say that they would be together, but the window paper of the Day and Night Pattern could be broken at any time as long as someone wanted to.

"Don't think about it this afternoon. Get some rest."

Xiao Ran nodded, with a warm smile on her face. She offered to help Xia Xiao rub his shoulders, and the latter did not refuse, letting Xiao Ran's soft and boneless hands rub his shoulders, letting out a faint hum. Xiao Ran asked him if he was too heavy-handed, and Xia Xiao said no, it was just too comfortable.

Xiao Ran, kneeling on the ground, was like a quiet lotus in the water. She wanted Xia Xiao to feel the warmth of Shu Shuang's presence, without any other intentions. Her thoughts, from the time Shu Shuang left until now, had completely changed according to her wishes.

Xia Xiao hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, and gradually fell asleep. Xiao Ran smiled, put a very thin coat on him, sat beside him, and flipped through a book that Shu Shuang had read. She usually read books in the living room, and she couldn't understand many of the books that Shu Shuang had read and annotated, not because she had different ideas from Shu Shuang, but because she couldn't reach Shu Shuang's level.

When reading a sentence, Xiao Ran might think of just a simple truth that anyone can think of, but what Shu Shuang thinks is the purest thought.

Seeing the small fish in the stream, Xiao Ran might smile and think it was beautiful. But Shu Shuang saw the lives of a few small fish. It seems simple, but changing one's mindset is not easy.

Most of the afternoon had passed. Xia Xiao took a nap while Xiao Ran read a book during the remaining time. It was so peaceful and beautiful like a dream.

Xia Xiao slept on the mat on the floor. He subconsciously took off his clothes and felt a little hot. Xiao Ran sat on the futon, leaning against the sofa behind him, reading and thinking. The window of the living room was wide open, and a breeze came in, bringing a little coolness. The curtains were half drawn, and half of the living room was dark and half was bright.

When the sun gradually weakened, Xiao Ran closed the curtains and let the light of dusk shine into the living room. The light was no longer hot and it was quite comfortable for people.

Xiaoran looked at Xia Xiao, closed the book, picked up the pen and started practicing calligraphy.

At the foot of the mountain, Ah Zhu, who had been practicing for an afternoon, felt that today was particularly fulfilling. She liked this kind of life, and it would be bad if she was idle every day. Children who are used to being in a farm family can never stop.

The uncle was cooking dinner earlier and didn't come to help Ah Zhu. Seeing her carrying a bamboo basket and looking like she was going out, he asked:

"Are you all ready?"

The bamboo basket was not small, and Ah Zhu had some difficulty lifting it, so her movements were uncoordinated and her body tilted a little. But she was able to lift it, and her face was full of excitement, and you could tell at a glance that she was happy.

"Chicken feet, wild vegetable cakes, peanuts, rice balls, everything is ready."

Ah Zhu smiled and poked the uncle with his finger, being very naughty.

"I've left a portion of each for you."

"You two are so in sync. I've saved some duck leg rice for you, too."

Ah Zhu had forgotten that there was duck leg rice today, so he hurried to check. The uncle cut off a piece of meat and fed it to Ah Zhu, then cut another piece for Doudou.

“It smells so good.”

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner."

"Okay, uncle, wish me immediate success!"

Doudou barked twice to cheer for Ah Zhu. She was not strong enough to carry Doudou up the mountain, so she went alone this time. It was quiet all afternoon, and Ah Zhu thought about what to say. But she was worried about something.

If Shu Shuang was at home, no, Xia Xiao said last time, her name is Shang Shan, different from Shu Shuang. But if she is with Xia Xiao, what should she say? She can only let Xia Xiao come out first, Ah Zhu can't beat the woman named Shang Shan, and she doesn't want to have a conflict. She just wants to express her feelings, but Xia Xiao doesn't seem to like Shang Shan.

Halfway through the journey, Ah Zhu sneezed. Could it be that Xia Xiao missed him?

Ah Zhu felt that Xia Xiao would never be like that, but she still fantasized about it. In the heart of a pure girl, there is always a nearly perfect world.

Azhu's mountain road was straight. As he walked up, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

This is a girl wearing a red corset. She came from the peach forest and went to the peach forest on the other side of the mountain road. She held a peach blossom and glanced at Ah Zhu. Ah Zhu felt guilty and looked at her for only a moment before looking away. Ah Zhu felt that she was competing with Shang Shan for Xia Xiao, but Shang Shan was not Shu Shuang, so it shouldn't be considered a robbery.

The sunset clouds are very beautiful, adding a touch of surprise to the peach forest. It is like a woman who is pure but wears heavy makeup, without any disobedience, but with the beauty of youthful vitality.

Shangshan didn't know Ah Zhu yet, so she just glanced at him and went her own way. She wanted to go to more peach forests that she had never been to before. Every place here was a landscape she loved. There are so many different kinds of people in the world. The first thing she tasted was sweetness, and she didn't know where the bitterness was.

Ah Zhu stood at the place where Shang Shan had passed before, looked at her back, and thought that she was wearing something revealing. It looked good, but Ah Zhu didn't dare to wear it like that.

Shangshan’s figure disappeared in the peach forest. Where was she going?

Ah Zhu suddenly thought of Xia Xiao. Would he be in this peach forest instead of his room? Ah Zhu had expected this situation. During the days when she and Xia Xiao were on missions outside, she had not followed Xia Xiao in vain, and she had learned something from him. Therefore, the first thing she did when she reached the mountainside was not to look for Xia Xiao, but to look for Hu Bugui.
