Xu Yuehuai passively accepted all of this. Gradually, she began to have trouble breathing. Qi Guze knew where her breaking point was long ago. When she could no longer breathe, he released her and held Xu Yuehuai tightly in his arms.
The two of them didn't know at what point they touched a taboo, but gradually they moved from the doorway all the way to the bed...
Spring was in full bloom today, and birds were chirping incessantly on the branches, as if celebrating the lush spring scenery. After some time, the leaves fell, and the birds on the branches stopped chirping.
Xu Yuehuai finished dressing, refusing to look at the man half-reclining on the bed, her eyes and heart filled with resentment. If she hadn't been diligently training these past few days, she might not have been able to withstand it. Qi Guze, however, acted as if nothing had happened, a satisfied expression on his face.
...
After preparing the meal, Shi Mu sat down at the table and looked at the food that was almost cold. A sense of worry rose in her heart. "Could it be that Senior Sister's lover doesn't like the food I made?"
Shi Mu had never encountered Xu Yuehuai being late for meals before. They were both punctual people, and once they agreed on a time for a meal, they would never be late. But now, looking at the time, Xu Yuehuai was already fifteen minutes late.
Zisangyi ate too much this morning and had indigestion, so she wasn't at the lunch table; only Aqing and Shimu were there.
Aqing couldn't sit still any longer. Every time he heard Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze talking together, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He stood up and said, "I'll go call Senior Sister. You wait here."
With that, Aqing turned and left.
As they approached Xu Yuehuai's room, they saw Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze emerge from the room one after the other, the man following behind the woman with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Aqing took two steps forward, looked at Xu Yuehuai's face with a questioning look, and asked, "Senior Sister, what happened?"
Xu Yuehuai knew she was late today, so she shook her head and said, "No, I just forgot the time. Let's go."
Her voice was cold and indifferent, revealing little emotion. Aqing wanted to say something, but Qi Guze, who was following behind her, quickly walked to Xu Yuehuai's side when he saw Aqing arrive.
At this moment, Aqing also clearly saw that there was a certain ambiguous feeling between the necks of the two people that belonged only to adults.
Aqing felt a lump in her throat, turned her head away from the two of them, and walked ahead, saying, "It's good that you're alright, let's go."
Qi Guze looked at A Qing's distraught appearance with smug satisfaction, his heart filled with the air of a victor.
Xu Yuehuai was well aware of his little schemes, but she simply let him do as he pleased.
During the short time that A Qing was away, Shi Mu reheated all the dishes on the table. When he saw Qi Gu Ze, his eyes darted away. He felt that this person was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
But he was certain that he had never seen this man before; otherwise, how could he not remember a man who looked so handsome and dashing now?
After everyone sat down, Zi Sang lost interest. Facing A Qing and Shi Mu, Qi Gu Ze served Xu Yue Huai food as if no one else was around.
This time, A Qing didn't make a move, and Qi Guze was very satisfied with his masterpiece.
After finishing the meal, Xu Yuehuai patted her stomach and stretched contentedly.
As they walked out of the house, Qi Guze followed behind. Xu Yuehuai looked at him warily and said, "I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. My cultivation can't stop for even a day. Don't even think about dragging me into doing those ridiculous things this afternoon!"
Upon hearing this voice, Qi Guze found Xu Yuehuai inexplicably funny and adorable. He teased, "I didn't mean that. If you're thinking about it, you can tell me."
Enraged, Xu Yuehuai slapped Qi Guze, turned and left without even glancing back.
Aqing secretly watched the way the two interacted from the corner. He could sense some changes in Xu Yuehuai from their interactions. Xu Yuehuai was never so lively before.
She always had a cold and indifferent demeanor, as if nothing could move her. She could be happy, but she wouldn't have so many emotions; it was more like the coquettish emotions of a young girl.
Ah Qing was like a voyeur, hiding in a dark corner, watching others' happy lives. In her heart, a hidden place grew overgrown with weeds, and she dared not show it to anyone.
...
When Qi Guze saw Xu Yuehuai leave, he quickly chased after her, "Don't be angry, how about I apologize to you?"
"I don't need it!"
So you mean you're not angry?
"Qi Guze!"
"Okay, I really won't make a fuss anymore."
The sounds of the two playfully bickering echoed in Aqing's ears like a spell.
Ah Qing leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, as if she couldn't catch her breath.
When Shi Mu came out of the kitchen after cleaning up, he saw A Qing standing by the wall. He walked over to A Qing in a few steps and looked at him with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Aqing was pulled back to his senses by Shi Mu's voice. Looking at Shi Mu in front of him, he forcibly suppressed the emotions spreading in his heart and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing. I guess I haven't exercised for a long time, so I'm a little tired."
Shi Mu nodded with some skepticism, but seeing that A Qing didn't seem willing to talk about it, he didn't press her further.
After he finished cooking, he was going down the mountain to cultivate. He was very happy with this kind of life and could earn spirit stones.
Xu Yuehuai had just come down the mountain when she ran into Song Xin.
Song Xin was no longer satisfied with having her admirer deal with Xu Yuehuai, so she came herself, standing arrogantly in front of Xu Yuehuai with her arms crossed and a look of disdain on her face, "Oh, isn't this Senior Sister? And behind her is..."
Song Xin naturally noticed the handsome man following behind Xu Yuehuai, but the man's gaze never lingered on her, nor did he even glance at her.
Song Xin paused so that Xu Yuehuai could introduce her to the man, but she didn't expect Xu Yuehuai to not play by the rules at all. "Um, is there something you need?"
She stood there stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xu Yuehuai meant by her "hmm". It wasn't until Xu Yuehuai had left that she realized that it was in response to her "Isn't this Senior Sister?"
After realizing this, Song Xin was so angry she laughed.
But Xu Yuehuai had already left while she was still in a daze.
Song Xin stomped her feet in anger, feeling helpless. She turned and left, trying her best not to show any abnormality on her face, which would allow her to save face for the time being.
With Izhuo not by her side today, her combat power has greatly decreased, making her seem to have no offensive capabilities.
