Su Lu personally washed Qin Xiaoxiao's hands and face, added hot water for her to soak her feet, and after he finished washing them, he poured out the water he had used to wash Qin Xiaoxiao's feet. Then he took a quick shower in the yard.
With nothing much to do in the evening, Su Lu asked Qin Xiaoxiao to bring out the two books and notes she hadn't finished reading the night before. He wanted to see how Qin Xiaoxiao had disappeared from those books.
Speaking of these two books, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of wheat ears.
"By the way, do you know what a wheat ear is?"
Su Lu was taken aback by the question. "Wheat ears? The wheat hasn't grown yet. We still have to wait a few more days to harvest it. What's wrong? Don't you have a lot of flour in your space? Do you want to add some more?"
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "I'm not talking about that Maisui, I'm talking about Maisui, a little girl named Maisui."
Su Lu stared blankly at Qin Xiaoxiao, "A girl named Mai Sui? Honey, stop messing around. You know I'm not a bad person, I just like looking at pretty girls. If Mai Sui is pretty, I might know her, but if she's average, I won't remember her at all."
Is your wife jealous? Why would she ask him if he knows any young girls?
But he doesn't know such a person!
Qin Xiaoxiao glared at Su Lu, "I knew it, you only chased after me because I'm pretty."
Su Lu frowned deeply, "Didn't you fall in love with me first, my wife?"
He was certain of this; if his wife hadn't given him a watch, he wouldn't have fallen for her.
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked. "What did you say? I liked you first?"
Qin Xiaoxiao pointed to her own nose, looking shocked.
How did he figure out that she liked him first?
Su Lu blinked and said, "Wife, when you gave me the watch before, wasn't it to tell me you liked me? Don't tell me you didn't know what giving a watch meant."
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Holy crap! She forgot about that.
She didn't think much when she gave him the watch; she just wanted to thank him. But then she felt that nothing she gave him would be sincere, so she took out a watch from her personal space and gave it to him. It was nothing special; she had plenty of skilled people in her space, and a cheap watch was enough to reciprocate.
Qin Xiaoxiao then realized what kind of mistake she had made.
But seeing her husband's expression that said, "You've fooled me, you scumbag," Qin Xiaoxiao decided that she would never admit it, no matter what.
"Well, I didn't think this through, but you can't blame me. In later generations, let alone boyfriends and girlfriends, it's normal for ordinary colleagues or superiors and subordinates to give a watch as a token of gratitude."
Business partners sometimes give watches as gifts. When a deal goes well, everyone's happy, and it's normal to exchange a nice watch as a token of appreciation.
So you can't blame me; I just didn't realize it at the time.
Su Lu narrowed his eyes after hearing this. "So, you don't like me? I was just imagining things?"
Qin Xiaoxiao felt a chill run through her body, and her ears felt cold.
Qin Xiaoxiao immediately sensed something was wrong, and her strong survival instinct suddenly kicked in. She turned her head to look at Su Lu with a serious expression.
How could you say that? How could you think I don't like you? Would I marry you if I didn't like you?
I am a fine young man of the 21st century. I risked my life to travel through time and space to be by your side, and you actually doubt me?
Su Lu, I can tell you very clearly, I like you, I really like you, no, not just like, it's love, I love you.
Damn! She's really going all out for her life; she actually said "I love you" first.
We've suffered a huge loss this time!
Su Lu narrowed his eyes, looking into Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes, and noticed that there was no guilt in her eyes, only a fleeting sense of annoyance, which made Su Lu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
He hugged Qin Xiaoxiao tightly, "Wife, I love you too, from the first moment I saw you..."
No, it was later, gradually, that I came to like you; it wasn't at first sight.
He then remembered that his first meeting with his wife wasn't very friendly; he thought she was a human trafficker, while she wanted to kill him.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care when Su Lu fell in love with her, as long as he loved her now, that was enough. The key was the future; he just had to make sure he didn't betray her.
Su Lu hugged and kissed Qin Xiaoxiao, only letting go of her when she was struggling to breathe.
"Seriously speaking, I think that wheat ear might be reborn."
Su Lu was startled and suddenly stood up. "What? Reborn? What does that mean?"
Qin Xiaoxiao looked up at Su Lu and asked, "Can you sit down and talk to me?"
Su Lu was tall and strong; when he stood on the kang (a heated brick bed), his head almost touched the roof, but he wasn't afraid of bumping his head.
Su Lu sat cross-legged, his face solemn.
"Wife, tell me properly, what exactly happened?"
Qin Xiaoxiao then told Su Lu about Mai Sui and the Mai family, and finally helped him analyze why she thought Mai Sui might have been reborn.
"There are countless novels about rebirth and time travel in later generations. I have at least a hundred in my space alone, and I also have some on my phone, but not many. The main reason is that I didn't know the apocalypse was coming, so I didn't download them."
Oh, that's not important. What's important is that in all rebirth novels, the female protagonist's personality changes drastically after she's reborn. There are also stupid female supporting characters who think they've mastered the code of life after being reborn, becoming incredibly arrogant and completely disregarding their own circumstances, making it easy for others to notice something's wrong.
Wait a minute, if that's the case, this wheat ear is very likely a supporting female character.
So, if she's the supporting female character, then who is the female lead?
Is her story also a book?
Su Lu immediately understood what Qin Xiaoxiao meant and pointed out the crux of the matter more directly, "Regardless of who the female lead is, I just want to know what role you play in this book? Will you be cannon fodder again?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I just don't know who she is, so I'm not sure if she's the female lead or the supporting female character. But right now, I'm more inclined to think she's the supporting female character. After all, female leads are usually pretty smart, and not many of them are innocent, unless they're the kind of lucky female lead who can turn misfortune into good fortune with the luck given to her by heaven, and has countless male and female supporting characters fighting for her. Those who are good to her may not have a good ending, but those who oppose her will definitely die a horrible death."
Su Lu shuddered as he listened. "Just hearing you say that gives me the creeps. Does such a woman even exist? It's too far-fetched! What if we offend her without our knowledge someday...?"
Wouldn't he die without a burial place?
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's quite possible. So, be careful what you say when you're out. Don't offend anyone. Who knows who might be the male or female protagonist in some book?"
Su Lu nodded. "I understand. I'll try to be more careful outside in the future. I'll try not to offend anyone if I can, and if I really can't stand something, I'll pretend I'm blind and didn't see anything."
Su Lu was clearly frightened. In the three novels he read yesterday, characters like Miao Feifei, Zhou Ying, and Mu Jin all had a certain amount of luck. If another person with extremely good luck were to appear, he might not be able to handle it.
