"Come here, let me show you what good things I brought you."
Jiang Jinxiu pulled Gu Xichen to the side of the luggage bag as if presenting a treasure.
"These are the eggs, sauerkraut, and some pickled vegetables that your mother prepared for you. She had prepared some for you before, but you left in such a hurry that she didn't have a chance to give them to you. These are the extra things she prepared later."
I also brought you apples and peaches, you can take them back and share them with your comrades, and…”
Jiang Jinxiu kept talking, and Gu Xichen felt a warm glow in his heart; it felt so good to be remembered.
He kept staring at Jiang Jinxiu, and Jiang Jinxiu noticed his strange behavior and patted him.
"What are you daydreaming about? Did you hear what I said?"
"Yes, I heard you, honey. It's so good to have you."
Jiang Jinxiu looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "Remember to take it to your dormitory tomorrow and share it with your comrades, okay?"
Gu Xichen just kept looking at her and smiling, without responding.
Jiang Jinxiu, feeling playful, pretended to be cute and fierce as she pinched his ears on both sides: "Did you hear me?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Xichen suddenly said, "Wife, what's that behind you? It's black, is it a rat?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinxiu's smile vanished instantly, and she felt a chill run down her spine, unconsciously tightening her grip on her hand: "You, you can't scare me."
However, the next second, Gu Xichen's ears turned very red, which was particularly noticeable under the candlelight.
He raised his hand and pressed down on Jiang Jinxiu's hands: "Wife, it hurts, be gentle. There were no rats, I was just making it up."
Jiang Jinxiu then realized that she had subconsciously grabbed his ear and pulled her hand away quickly: "Are you alright?"
Gu Xichen rubbed his bright red ears with a wronged expression: "Wife, if you use any more force, my ears will be gone."
"I didn't mean to, but you scared me! Humph~"
She had just thought there was a mouse behind her; she was really scared.
Gu Xichen finally experienced what it means to "lift a stone only to drop it on one's own foot".
He noticed his wife was a little angry, so he quickly coaxed her, "Honey, I was wrong, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
She coaxed him while also acting cute, rubbing against him in all sorts of ways.
In that respect, they were even better than Orange and Blackie.
Seeing the man like that, Jiang Jinxiu soon burst into laughter again. She pinched his cheek and said in a cute but fierce tone, "You can never scare me with mice again, understand?"
"Mmm." Gu Xichen responded twice, then leaned closer with a pitiful look and said, "Wife, it hurts."
"Hmph~ Wasn't it you who scared me?"
The two of them cuddled together endlessly, teasing and joking with each other; this was their own special time.
Time passed little by little.
Finally, Jiang Jinxiu touched the man's head with both hands, feeling the stinging sensation in her palms: "Look at the time! Don't you have to do morning exercises tomorrow? Go wash up and go to bed."
She really liked her man's buzz cut; it was a little prickly, but strangely comfortable.
Gu Xichen then came to his senses; they had actually been fooling around until midnight.
He kissed Jiang Jinxiu's lips hard and said very enthusiastically, "Wife, I'll prepare some hot water for you."
At that time, there were no water heaters, so the guesthouse rooms would be equipped with several large kettles.
The red color is especially pleasing.
Everyone has to go to the hot water room to get hot water if they need it. Gu Xichen had already gotten the hot water when he went to buy food in the afternoon.
Gu Xichen prepared the hot water and checked the temperature before calling Jiang Jinxiu to take a bath.
Jiang Jinxiu went into the bathroom, but Gu Xichen was still reluctant to leave, and said in a high-sounding manner, "Wife, you go ahead and wash."
But his feet didn't move an inch.
Jiang Jinxiu glanced at him sideways and pushed him out.
How could she not know what he was thinking?
Although she wanted to give it a try, now was not the time, and she could only think about it later.
Gu Xichen was a little disappointed that his dream didn't come true, but he also expected to be pushed out.
"Honey, you can just leave the water there after you're done washing. I'll just use your water to wash later."
Jiang Jinxiu nodded and closed the door.
She looked at the hot water that had been prepared in front of her, patted her burning cheeks, and couldn't help but smile.
"Meow meow meow..." Master, Master, would you like to drink some spiritual spring water to restore your strength?
Orange's voice echoed in my mind.
Jiang Jinxiu then remembered that there was a cat in her space.
After confirming that the door was locked from the inside, she slipped into the space.
She pinched the orange by the back of its neck with her index finger and thumb and held it up in front of her eyes.
"Did you peek? Tell me the truth." Jiang Jinxiu was somewhat embarrassed and angry.
"Meow meow meow..." Master, I didn't, I didn't see anything. Master, please let me go.
"Hmph~ I bet you wouldn't dare."
"Meow meow meow..." Master, I have good cat manners too!
Jiang Jinxiu was speechless.
What the heck is "Miaode"?
Just in case, Jiang Jinxiu felt it would be best to block any contact with Chengzi when she was with her man in the future.
Jiang Jinxiu drank some spiritual spring water and soaked in the bathtub for a while. Only after feeling completely refreshed did she flash out of the space again.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful for the time difference between space and real time.
Fearing that someone might become suspicious, she took another bath with the hot water he had prepared for her.
Jiang Jinxiu came out after taking a bath, her fair face flushed.
