While eating breakfast.
Ning Baiyan kept his head down, his expression unreadable.
Ning Qing... His wife is in a bad mood. Should he try to appease her? Or should he try to appease her?
I just couldn't stand his pitiful little face.
Ning Qing stood up, grabbed Ning Baiyan's wrist, and walked into the depths of the mountains and forests.
Ning Baiyan didn't understand Ning Qing's purpose in dragging him away.
But he still cooperated and followed along.
Because he couldn't bear to refuse any request from his older brother.
What's more, this is a time when the two of them are alone, something he has always longed for but never had. He wished he could stick to his brother every moment and never be separated from him!
The two arrived under a fruit tree, and Ning Qing raised her hand to pick a large red fruit and handed it to Ning Baiyan.
Here, have some.
Ning Baiyan's eyes lit up, and the expression on his face relaxed.
He reached out, took the big red fruit from Ning Qing's hand, and took a big bite with a "crunch".
Ning Qing looked at him with a hint of something inexplicable in her eyes.
"Is it tasty?".
Ning Baiyan replied truthfully.
"Mmm, delicious, sweet and sour."
Especially after eating barbecue and feeling a bit greasy, eating a fruit like this is really great.
Ning Baiyan raised his hand, picked a fruit from the tree, and handed it to Ning Qing.
"Brother, you eat too."
Ning Qing did not accept the fruit he offered.
Instead, she leaned closer, lowered her head to the fruit in his hand that had been bitten two or three times, opened her mouth, and took a bite.
Under Ning Baiyan's astonished gaze, he nodded as if it were a serious matter.
Her gaze held a hint of meaning as she looked at him. "Hmm, it's really good, quite sweet."
Ning Baiyan stared blankly at Ning Qing, or rather, at her pale red lips.
Ning Qing slightly bent her index and middle fingers and gently tapped his forehead.
"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to eat the fruit?"
Ning Baiyan snapped out of her daze. "Eat, eat, I'll eat right now."
Feeling rather guilty, he lowered his head and began to devour the fruit in his hand.
Ning Qing's gaze remained fixed on the fruit in her hand, without shifting even slightly.
Ning Baiyan then raised his head to look at Ning Qing.
"Brother, do you still want to eat fruit?"
As he spoke, he handed over the fruit he was holding.
Ning Qing looked at the so-called fruit in his hand, which had been gnawed down to the pit.
He raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke with a half-smile.
"You're just going to make me eat this stuff?"
Seeing that Ning Qing's expression was different, Ning Baiyan looked down at the fruit in his hand.
No, it can no longer be called a fruit, because it is just a fruit pit.
Like a child who had done something wrong, he quickly and forcefully threw the remaining fruit pit far away.
Then, with his other hand, he handed over the large, undamaged red fruit that he had just picked.
She called out softly, "Brother..."
Ning Qing reached out and took the fruit he offered.
At the same time, he raised his other hand and gently ruffled the short hair on his head.
“You seem much quieter than before these days. Is something on your mind?”
Ning Baiyan instinctively wanted to shake his head, but when he met Ning Qing's gaze...
He fell silent...
Ning Qing continued to rub the short hair on his head and spoke softly.
"You can tell me anything, don't keep it to yourself."
Ning Baiyan really wanted to ask him if he could be tied up in the cave and prevented from contacting any of the beastmen outside. Of course, that included the little beastman Xiao Jin.
