After finishing their meal, the two didn't linger. It was already past Lin Qing's bedtime, and she was already drowsy. Gu Nanxun carried Lin Qing directly to the bedroom and placed her on the bed. As soon as Lin Qing's body touched the soft mattress, she immediately fell asleep. Gu Nanxun smiled, got up and got into bed as well, holding Lin Qing in his arms and falling into a deep sleep.
When they woke up, it was almost noon. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun washed up, had brunch in the space, and then left the room together.
"Qingqing, Brother Gu, you're awake. Would you like to eat? I've saved some food for you. I'll bring it out for you."
Zhao Xi saw Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun as soon as they came out. He had been waiting in the yard since he got up that morning, but he didn't expect Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun to get up so late. However, it made sense, since they had gone to bed very late the night before.
When Gu Nanxun returned yesterday, Zhao Xi and Zhao Chen knew about it. Zhao Xi even asked Gu Nanxun if he wanted to make some late-night snacks, but Gu Nanxun refused.
"No need, Xixi, we've already eaten." Lin Qing's face was beaming with a happy smile as she looked at Zhao Xi and said.
"It's so much better when the young master is home. Qingqing is completely different now."
Looking at the smile on Lin Qing's face, Zhao Xi said with a sigh.
"What's different?" Gu Nanxun raised an eyebrow after hearing Zhao Xi's words and asked with a curious look.
"The smile on her face is different. Qingqing doesn't smile when the young master isn't around. Look how happy she is now." Zhao Xi said, thinking to herself that Lin Qing hadn't even left the house much these past two days. When she did come out, she didn't smile, and even when she did, it was a forced smile.
"Baby, you can't live without me!" After hearing Zhao Xi's answer, Gu Nanxun's smile became even brighter. He turned around, hugged Lin Qing, and said with a smile.
"Don't listen to Xixi's nonsense, it's not true. I promised you I would go out less, so Xixi probably just hasn't seen me much." Hearing Zhao Xi say this, Lin Qing felt unusually embarrassed.
Gu Nanxun hugged Lin Qing and rubbed against her. "So, baby doesn't miss me at all? I'm heartbroken."
Lin Qing reached out and touched Gu Nanxun's forehead with a surprised look. "Brother Nanxun, you can actually act cute."
This side of Gu Nanxun was one that Lin Qing had never seen before. She had seen her Nanxun brother's cold side and his warm side, but she had never seen Gu Nanxun act cute. This made Lin Qing feel very strange.
Zhao Xi watched with great interest. This side of Gu Nanxun was something neither Lin Qing nor she had ever seen before. Gu Nanxun was always serious and composed in front of them, and only in front of Lin Qing did he appear more gentle. But the scene before her was something Zhao Xi had never imagined.
"Ahem..." Perhaps Lin Qing's gaze was too surprised, Gu Nanxun coughed awkwardly twice and glanced at Zhao Xi lightly.
"I have something to do, I'll go first." Zhao Xi turned around and walked towards the door immediately after being looked at by Gu Nanxun. She was going to the brigade headquarters to see what was going on. The brigade headquarters was particularly lively early this morning. If she hadn't had to wait for Lin Qing to get up, she would have gone there long ago.
"Why did you scare her?" Lin Qing looked at Zhao Xi, who had been frightened away, and gently patted Gu Nanxun's arm with a coquettish smile.
"Um..." Zhao Xi's voice suddenly came from the front door again. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun turned around and saw Zhao Xi outside, her head sticking out of the yard, looking at them excitedly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qing asked curiously.
"It was Zhao Qiu, Zhao Dong, Feng Yu Lei Dian, and the others. They went up the mountain to find Team Leader Zhao and Zhao Xia. Chenchen went with them."
After Zhao Xi finished speaking, she quickly turned her head back and ran off into the distance. Actually, she wanted to go too; she hadn't exercised in a long time, but she couldn't—Qingqing and the young master still needed her care.
"Pfft..."
"Xi Xi, so cute." Lin Qing couldn't help but say as she watched Zhao Xi's retreating figure.
“My baby is the cutest!” Gu Nanxun said disapprovingly.
"Hate……"
"Nanxun, let's go watch the fun! I don't even know what you guys hunted!"
"Okay, let's go then!"
At this moment, the brigade headquarters was extremely lively. The villagers had rushed over early this morning, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.
Since they didn't know when the other team would return, the brigade headquarters decided to divide the prey up first, and then redistribute it once the other team returned.
When Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun arrived, all the prey had just been prepared and was ready to be divided.
"Nanxun, Xiaolin, you've arrived!"
As soon as Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun arrived at the brigade headquarters, they were spotted by everyone, and everyone greeted them with happy smiles.
Lin Qing felt her face was stiff from smiling the whole way. They finally arrived at the brigade headquarters after a long and difficult journey.
"Nanxun, Xiaolin, you've arrived! I was just about to go and call you!"
The captain looked up and saw the two of them, and greeted them with a smile.
"What's up, Captain? Is there something you need?" Lin Qing asked with a smile.
"Our brigade headquarters and the hunting team have discussed it and decided to give your Nanxun a game. You can choose one, and the rest of the hunting team will each have one wolf for every two people. The rest will be distributed among everyone."
"Young Lin, look what you want!"
"Then give us a sheep!" Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Are you sure, Xiao Lin? Sheep are the smallest prey and have the least meat. Why don't you choose wolves, or pigs?" the brigade leader reminded him with a smile.
Lin Qing shook her head and said with a smile, "I'll have lamb! I want to eat lamb hot pot!"
Lin Qing didn't like eating wolf meat, and there were also 10 wild boars in the space. Although there were quite a few sheep, Lin Qing thought about it and decided to choose sheep instead.
"Alright, then I'll thank you on behalf of the villagers." Seeing that they had made up their minds, the brigade leader stopped trying to persuade them. But he knew that it was because Xiao Lin and the other educated youths were taking care of the villagers that they chose sheep with less meat.
The captain's eyes narrowed with laughter as he personally picked out the fattest sheep for Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun. He also cut off a pound of venison and two pounds of pork and handed them to Lin Qing.
Gu Nanxun reached out and took the sheep, then looked at Lin Qing and asked with a smile, "Are you going back?"
"Go back!" Lin Qing quickly said. She had come to watch the excitement, but ended up becoming the excitement herself.
So the two people who came out to see the commotion were so frightened that they quickly went back inside. The villagers were just too enthusiastic for them to handle.
