Chapter 43 You Are in Love with Him (4000 words)
Early the next morning.
When Xiao Mo was reading in the yard, he saw Bai Ruxue walking towards the yard step by step with a girl in a green long dress.
Her snow-white and tender little face was full of happiness.
The girl being led by Bai Ruxue lowered her head, looking a little nervous and a little reluctant.
Seeing Xiao Mo, Bai Ruxue quickened her pace and pulled the girl into the courtyard: "Xiao Mo, this is my sister, Bai Qingliu. She just came of age this year. I usually call her Xiaoqing, so you can call her Xiaoqing too."
Both sisters are very beautiful, but their styles are different.
Bai Ruxue has a graceful figure and charming appearance. She looks cute and adorable, as if she is easy to deceive.
Xiaoqing has a slender figure and her eyes are alert and cautious. It is obvious that she is smarter than her sister.
"Hello, Miss Xiaoqing." Xiao Mo stood up and bowed.
"Hmph!" Xiaoqing raised her chin.
It was you, you stinky man, who took my sister away.
As a result, I can only see my sister once or twice a month, and I have to sleep alone every night!
If I didn’t want to leave my sister, I wouldn’t have come down the mountain because it would be really boring for a snake to practice cultivation!
Seeing that her sister's mouth was about to pout to the sky, Bai Rushue secretly changed her shape and slapped her sister's butt with the tip of her white tail.
Xiaoqing bit her lip in a slight pain, then bowed, following the human etiquette her sister had taught her. "Xiaoqing, hello, sir. I'm sorry to bother you."
"Miss Xiaoqing, you're too kind. It's your sister who has always taken care of me." Xiao Mo smiled, "It's just that my room may not be big enough, so I have to let Miss Xiaoqing sleep with your sister."
"It's not a grievance, it's not a grievance." Xiaobai quickly spoke up for his sister, "We've been sleeping together since we were little, and we're used to it."
Xiaoqing also nodded and said, "I like sleeping with my sister."
"That's good." Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Miss Xiaoqing, just treat this as your own home. We will all be a family in the future."
"Who are you from? Hiss."
Just when Xiaoqing was muttering softly, Bai Ruxue's tail tip slapped her sister's butt again.
There was a faint mist of tears in Xiaoqing's eyes.
She felt that her butt must have been spanked red by her sister.
"Then Xiao Mo, you can read the book while I show my sister around the room."
As she spoke, Bai Ruxue pulled Xiaoqing into the room and quickly closed the door with a bang.
Looking at the closed door, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile: "It seems that Miss Xiaoqing has some opinions about me."
In the boudoir, Bai Ruxue put her hands on her hips and pouted as she looked at Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, do you still remember what you promised me?"
"Remember." Xiaoqing touched her butt.
"Then tell me what they are?"
"First of all, you are not allowed to reveal your identity."
"Yeah, and then."
"The second thing is to treat Xiao Mo like a sister and not cause any trouble for her."
Bai Ruxue bent forward and said, "So you have to be obedient, not just listen to your sister, but also listen to Xiao Mo, understand?"
"I understand, sister," Xiaoqing said reluctantly.
"Xiao Qing," Bai Ruxue touched Xiao Qing's head, "Xiao Mo is a very nice person."
"But sister, we are monsters and he is a human. How can monsters and humans live together? What if he finds out?"
"Don't worry." Bai Ruxue straightened her waist and patted her sister's shoulder. "He's stupid and a nerd. He won't be able to find out. Look at me, your sister, I haven't been exposed for such a long time, right?"
“.”
Xiaoqing looked at her sister's proud expression and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
yes.
Why didn’t my sister get noticed even though she was so stupid?
Could it be that Xiao Mo is even more stupid?
"In short, as long as you don't show your tail and eat the mouse secretly, you won't be discovered. Do you understand?" Bai Ruxue reminded again.
"I understand, sister."
Xiaoqing sighed in her heart.
Now that things have come to this, I will listen to my sister and live with this human race for a while.
"Come on, I'll take you shopping. I'll teach you how to cook and wash clothes at noon. I'm telling you, there are some very sophisticated techniques involved."
Bai Ruxue pulled her sister out of the room.
About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Ruxue and Xiaoqing arrived at Huangcun carrying a basket.
"Several nearby villages set up stalls in Huangcun. I usually buy vegetables here, but some aunties will cheat you, so you have to bargain. Watch out, sister."
Bai Ruxue turned around and called out to an older woman, "Grandma Li, how much is this crucian carp?"
"What! Thirty-three wen?"
"I know this fish is very fat and weighs three pounds, but this is too expensive!"
"Twenty-five cents, I'll take it."
"No, twenty-eight cents is too expensive."
"Just twenty-five cents."
"Grandma Li, just sell it to me, just sell it to me. Look how pitiful this fish is. It will suffer so much if it is not eaten, Grandma Li~~~" Bai Ruxue shook Grandma Li's arm.
"Okay, thank you, Grandma Li."
Bai Ruxue happily handed over the twenty-five copper coins, then picked up the fish and put it into the bamboo basket.
"How about it, did you see it? That's how you bargain." Bai Ruxue looked at her sister with pride.
"." Xiaoqing felt complicated.
Although I haven't had much contact with humans.
But is it really that cheap?
"Sister, this doesn't seem difficult." Xiaoqing said.
"Who said that? It's very difficult! But since Xiao Mo passed the imperial examination, it has become easier for me to bargain. People in the surrounding area are very caring towards Xiao Mo." Bai Ruxue said.
"Sister, if other males sell you things, will you act like a spoiled child like this?"
"How is that possible?" Bai Ruxue rolled her eyes at her sister. "They can sell it or not. If not, I'll go to another family. I, your sister, will only act like a spoiled child to one man."
"Who is it?" Xiaoqing asked curiously.
"Silly girl." Bai Ruxue gently tapped her sister's forehead, "Of course it's Xiao Mo~~~"
With that, Bai Rushue walked forward happily and continued to buy groceries.
And just as my sister said, she only knows how to act coquettishly with some aunties and grandmas.
As for male vendors, my sister usually quotes a price and sells it to them if they agree. If they don’t agree, my sister will turn around and leave.
After buying vegetables, Xiaoqing went home with her sister to cook.
Xiaoqing knew that her sister was very stupid.
Since my sister is so skilled at making fire and cooking, I know that she must have practiced a lot and suffered a lot.
During lunch, my sister would deliberately leave the meat in the dish for Xiao Mo and not touch a single piece herself.
Only after Xiao Mo puts down his chopsticks will his sister eat the remaining meat.
But Xiaoqing also discovered that this human man would deliberately leave behind many of her sister's favorite dishes.
In the afternoon, Xiaoqing began to clean the yard with her sister. From the room to the yard, her sister cleaned meticulously.
After cleaning the yard, my sister would sit in the yard with a book and read with Xiao Mo.
However, Xiaoqing discovered that although her sister was studying, her mind was always on Xiao Mo.
Whenever Xiao Mo stretched out his hand, his sister would pour him a cup of tea.
Whenever Xiao Mo twisted his neck, his sister would stand up and massage his shoulders.
It seemed like his sister knew what Xiao Mo was going to do with every move he made.
It was almost evening, and Xiaoqing had to follow her sister to the kitchen to cook again.
After dinner, my sister rolled up her sleeves and boiled water for Xiao Mo to take a bath.
These were all trivial matters, and Xiaoqing felt bored and troublesome just by looking at them.
"Sister, isn't it boring for you to do this every day?"
Seven days after arriving in Shiqiao Village, Xiaoqing and her sister were taking a bath in the bathtub together and couldn't help asking.
"Boring? Why?" Bai Ruxue blinked, "I feel very happy."
"Why would he be happy?" Xiaoqing didn't understand. "I have to do the laundry, cook, clean the yard, and even boil water for him to take a bath. What's there to be happy about?"
"Well," Bai Ruxue thought about how to answer while rubbing her sister's back, "I don't know either. It seems that as long as I can be by his side, as long as I can do something for him, even if it's a trivial matter, I am very happy."
“.”
Xiaoqing didn't understand what her sister meant by what she said.
But as the days passed, Xiaoqing found that this man seemed to be quite good.
This man has a good temper and always has a gentle smile on his face.
And when I wanted to learn to read, he would teach me patiently.
Ten days later, Xiaoqing found that she had gotten used to this kind of life.
But on the seventeenth day after Xiaoqing arrived in Shiqiao Village.
That night, Bai Rushue accidentally went wrong while absorbing the essence of the moon.
When she woke up in the morning, Bai Rushue's face was pale and she looked weak, like an ordinary person who had caught a cold.
"Sister, you should have a good rest today. I will take care of the housework." Xiaoqing said with concern when she saw her sister's appearance.
But fortunately, my sister's condition is not serious and she just needs to rest for two days.
"But Xiaoqing, can you really do it?" Bai Ruxue asked worriedly.
It took me two months to learn all these housework.
Xiaoqing has only been learning for a little over half a month.
"That's fine, sister. Just take a good rest. Otherwise, how can you work like this? What if you reveal your tail?"
"Okay then."
Bai Ruxue could only agree.
Xiaoqing covered her sister with a blanket and walked out of the room.
Xiao Mo just happened to get up.
Xiaoqing told Xiao Mo that her sister was sick, but it was not a serious problem and there was no need to see a doctor. She would be fine in two days.
Xiao Mo walked into the room to visit Bai Rushue.
Bai Ruxue also said that she was really fine and would be fine soon, as she had had this happen before.
Xiao Mo felt that there might be some problem with Bai Rushue's practice, but it shouldn't be serious.
Otherwise Xiaoqing would be more nervous than herself.
After Xiao Mo left, Bai Rushue sat in the room and looked through the window at Xiao Qing who was collecting Xiao Mo's clothes and folding them up one by one.
Xiaoqing did a great job.
But Bai Ruxue felt strange in her heart.
These things are obviously what I did.
At noon, Bai Ruxue felt much better, and she felt restless and wanted to go to the kitchen to cook for Xiao Mo.
But Xiaoqing pushed her sister out: "Sister, you take a rest, I will cook."
Not long after, Xiaoqing brought out the food from the kitchen.
"Brother Xiao, sister, my cooking is not very delicious, please don't be disgusted."
"No, Xiaoqing, you cook very deliciously."
"Really? Then Brother Xiao, eat more."
"good."
"Eat more, sister too."
"Oh, okay."
Bai Rushue took small bites of the food in the bowl.
The food Xiaoqing cooks is really delicious.
It’s a good thing that Xiao Mo likes the food cooked by Xiao Qing.
But.
Bai Ruxue just felt depressed in her heart, as if something was blocking it.
In the afternoon, Bai Rushue lay back on the bed and looked through the window at Xiaoqing pouring water for Xiao Mo and rubbing his shoulders.
Watching Xiao Mo teaching Xiao Qing to read and write.
Listening to Xiao Mo praising Xiaoqing from time to time, "Miss Xiaoqing is really smart."
Bai Ruxue felt her chest become even more stuffy.
Why?
What's wrong with me?
Could it be that my illness has become worse?
In the evening, Aunt Chen heard that Ruxue had caught a cold, so she came to Xiao Mo's yard to visit Ruxue.
"Hey girl, aren't you usually in good health? How come you caught a cold in the hot summer? I've made some medicine for you and poured it into this gourd. Drink a bowl before bed, and then heat it up and drink another bowl tomorrow morning. You'll be better soon."
In the room, Aunt Chen said to Ruxue.
"Thank you, Aunt Chen." Bai Ruxue took the gourd and smiled slightly.
But soon, the girl lowered her head as if something was on her mind.
"Ruxue, what's wrong?" Aunt Chen asked.
"No, Aunt Chen." Bai Ruxue quickly shook her head, "I'm fine."
"Don't give me that." Aunt Chen rolled her eyes at her. "You're so naive, you show everything on your face. Don't I know if you have something on your mind? Tell me now. When you're sick, you can't keep your worries to yourself, or you won't get better."
Bai Ruxue bit her thin lips lightly, her eyes looking a little hesitant, and her fingers kept kneading the quilt.
Aunt Chen was not in a hurry and waited slowly for her to open her heart to her.
"Aunt Chen." After a long time, Bai Rushue raised her head.
"Um."
"Xiaoqing took care of Xiao Mo for me today. She folded his clothes neatly, cooked delicious meals, and cleaned the courtyard. I should be happy, but why, why do I feel so empty inside? And sometimes my chest feels stuffy and I can't even breathe."
Bai Rushue clutched the quilt tightly in her small hands.
"Auntie Chen, what's wrong with me?"
"Huh?"
Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and raised the corner of her mouth, saying with a half-smile.
"Aunt Chen, guess what? Is it when Xiaoqing gets close to Xiao Mo that you feel a tightness in your chest?"
"Uh-huh."
"When Xiao Mo praised her, you knew you would be happy for your sister, but you would also feel a sense of inexplicable loss in your heart."
"Yeah yeah."
Aunt Chen pointed at the woman's heaving chest and asked, "Does it sometimes feel sore there, like drinking vinegar?"
"That's right, I didn't know how to do it before. Aunt Chen, how did you know?"
"Fool!"
Aunt Chen sighed and gently tapped the woman's eyebrows.
"You're in love with him."
