Qin Xiaoxiao ate breakfast without tasting anything, and after Liu Meijuan left, she kept thinking about what happened last night.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember what had happened.
How did she get back to the house, and how did she start acting crazy while drunk?
She felt that Liu Meijuan was wrong, and she insisted that she had not acted drunk at all, but she could not provide any evidence.
Moreover, she had a lot of pain in the back of her head, which meant she had been hit.
But Liu Meijuan insisted that she was alone in the room, her clothes were neat, and she was covered with a quilt, but she hadn't taken off her shoes.
A headache, exhaustion, arm pain, neat clothes, and shoes—don't these prove she was beaten?
Who was the person who hit her?
It all seems like a mystery.
Qin Xiaoxiao thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it and ran over to Su Yun to seek attention.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Qin Xiaoxiao returned to her room with a bag of pastries that she had gotten from Su Yun.
If I can get a bag of pastries today, I can get a handkerchief tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I can get her to make a small item for me, even just a glove.
As time went on, she stopped believing it and decided she couldn't deny being the sister-in-law.
Qin Xiaoxiao happily took a shower, rewarded herself with a bunch of grapes, changed into her pajamas, and prepared to take a long nap.
Qin Xiaoxiao tossed and turned on the kang (a heated brick bed), unable to sleep. Her mind kept wandering to the beautiful life Su Yun and Qin Ye would have after their marriage. She also wondered what Zhou Ying would do when she arrived and saw Qin Ye and Su Yun together. Would she fly into a rage? Would she hold her accountable? What if she got so angry that she attacked her? What if she went after Su Yun?
She definitely had to protect Su Yun and also secretly monitor Zhou Ying, making sure she stayed away from Su Yun.
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt very selfish. In order to help her older brother avoid the trap set by Zhou Ying, she had dragged Su Yun into it and used her as a shield. If anything happened to Su Yun, she would be held responsible to the death.
Frustrated, Qin Xiaoxiao pulled the quilt over her head, then suddenly sat up, frowning as she pondered whether she should continue.
Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground outside.
Although the sound wasn't loud, Qin Xiaoxiao had some skills and her body had been transformed by the spiritual spring water, so she could hear it clearly.
Qin Xiaoxiao was startled. She squinted at the door and pulled out a long knife from her spatial storage.
Qin Xiaoxiao tiptoed to the ground, hid behind the door, raised her steel knife, and prepared to strike.
Outside, Su Lu climbed over the wall and waited for a while. When he found that he hadn't disturbed the educated youth in the front yard, he walked to Qin Xiaoxiao's door.
She raised her hand to knock on the door, and as soon as she heard the sound, Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
Without needing to think or ask, she knew who was outside.
"Xiaoxiao, open the door, it's me."
Sure enough, Su Lu's voice came from outside.
Qin Xiaoxiao calmly put the knife into her spatial storage, quietly opened the door, and made way for someone to pass through. "Hurry up."
Su Lu smiled slightly and quickly slipped into the house.
Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and locked the door. She stood at the door for a while, listening. When she saw that there was no further movement outside, she turned to look at Su Lu.
The room was dark, but Qin Xiaoxiao could still see Su Lu's bright, shining eyes, as beautiful as the stars in the sky winking at her...
Huh? Winking at me?
Qin Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, thinking she must have seen wrong, otherwise how could she have seen such a bizarre scene?
Putting her hand down, Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Lu again, and the result was the same. This time, she not only saw stars, but also two rows of white teeth.
Qin Xiaoxiao shuddered.
Oh no, she thinks she saw a zombie, except the zombie's teeth were red and black.
Qin Xiaoxiao took a step back and lowered her voice, saying, "What are you doing here so late? Can't you say what's on your mind during the day?"
From the moment Su Lu entered the room, he stared intently at Qin Xiaoxiao, revealing what he thought was his most handsome smile. However, he forgot that the room was too dark, and even though Qin Xiaoxiao was close by, she couldn't see his expression clearly.
Su Lu didn't speak, looking at the person so close to him with a complicated expression.
He thought Qin Xiaoxiao was only interested in him, but after that kiss last night, he realized that he liked her.
At first, he didn't realize that he liked her, but when he got home last night, he found that his clothes were soaked with sweat. He remembered the nervous and expectant feeling he had when he was squatting outside the wall, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He was nervous that Qin Xiaoxiao would be discovered to be in a room with a man late at night, which would damage her reputation. He was also hoping that Liu Meijuan would leave quickly so that he could go back into her room.
Why did he go inside? He didn't know. He only knew that he wanted to stay by her side; he was afraid something might happen to her.
And that kiss, hot and wet, was like a branding iron on his face, so hot it could burn his cheeks.
Su Lu touched his left cheek, unable to sleep all night, and only drifted off to sleep as dawn approached.
Even when he was asleep, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't let him go. He had countless dreams, and Qin Xiaoxiao was in every single one of them.
They got married and slept on the same kang (a heated brick bed). He made her happy every day, and she cooked delicious food for him every day. She gave birth to his child, and he took care of Qin's parents for her. She liked to listen to him brag, and he liked to see her shy face. They were inseparable, like conjoined twins, and couldn't bear to be apart for even half a minute.
Then he woke up, blushed, and changed his clothes from head to toe. Afraid that his family would notice his panda eyes, he didn't dare to leave the house. He then washed all his clothes while it was dark. After he finished hanging the clothes up, he couldn't help but run to find her.
Seeing that Su Lu remained silent for a long time, Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand in front of his face in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Su Lu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, placing it against his chest.
"Xiaoxiao, do you...do you remember what happened last night?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was taken aback. Thinking of her suspicions, she didn't immediately pull her hand away.
Do you know what happened last night?
Su Lu nodded. "Mm."
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
What's wrong with him today? How come she could hear a hint of coquetry in his breathy voice? Or was she mistaken?
Qin Xiaoxiao picked at her ear. "Say it again."
Su Lu blushed, lowered her head, and softly recounted the passionate kiss from the previous night.
"You kissed me, you have to take responsibility."
Qin Xiaoxiao stood there in shock, staring dumbfounded as Su Lu twisted her body and looked at her with a shy expression.
Qin Xiaoxiao swallowed hard, then abruptly pulled her hand back. "Impossible, this is impossible, don't lie to me."
Su Lu was stunned, and stared blankly at Qin Xiaoxiao. "What do you mean it's impossible? You mean I'm lying to you?"
Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and faced Su Lu sideways. "Isn't that right? What are you up to? Why are you making up stories about me like this?"
"Su Lu, let me tell you, don't talk nonsense. If anyone hears this, we'll both be in big trouble."
Su Lu stood there without saying a word, his eyes gradually turning from fiery to icy.
