With plenty of time left in the morning, and taking advantage of Chu Fan's stay at the Fan residence, the diligent He Yunxiao went directly to the small courtyard by the stream.
"Chuchu! It's me!"
He Yunxiao knocked on the door without any hesitation.
Because of Sister Jiang's arrival, I haven't seen Chu Chu for two whole days.
The last time I saw her was in a carriage, watching her eat candied hawthorns.
He Yunxiao thought about Chuchu every day. Last time he saw Chuchu, she seemed to really like candied hawthorns, so he bought her a skewer this time. Xiaoxiao didn't have that kind of luck.
Xiao Xiao was learning to cook in the kitchen when she heard He Yunxiao knocking on the door. She was instinctively happy; although He Yunxiao was annoying, his presence would keep her entertained. Xiao Xiao put down the kitchen knife and was about to open the door for He Yunxiao when she remembered Chu Chu's words from that day.
That day, after He Yunxiao escorted "Chuchu" home:
Chu Fan was still participating in the Liu family's sword-testing tournament, so at this moment, only Chu Xiaoxiao was in the small courtyard by the stream.
Xiao Xiao controlled her body, eating the candied hawthorn He Yunxiao had bought for Chu Chu, and walked through the door. With He Yunxiao's promise to help her repair the relationship, Xiao Xiao was overjoyed, skipping and hopping as she walked.
Chu Chu had slept well and slowly opened her eyes in her consciousness space.
Visual synchronization.
Upon seeing that she was at home, Chu Chu frowned.
Chu Chu: Xiao Xiao, didn't I tell you to wake me up?
Xiao Xiao paused, then mumbled, "I wanted to wake you, but you were sleeping so soundly I didn't. Anyway, He Yunxiao brought me back quickly after you fell asleep, so it didn't matter whether I woke you or not."
Xiao Xiao knows Chu Chu very well, and Chu Chu knows Xiao Xiao very well as well. If Xiao Xiao is lying, Chu Chu will know it as soon as she hears it.
Chu Chu: You're impersonating the real person again?
Xiaoxiao: Just for a little while.
Chu Chu said calmly, "There must not be a next time. If there is a next time, I will tell He Yunxiao about this and warn him to be careful."
Xiao Xiao said angrily: "If I don't impersonate you, how can I get He Yunxiao to help me repair my relationship with my brother? He listens to Chu Chu, but not to Xiao Xiao!"
Chu Chu felt a bit better, so she didn't argue with her sister. To be honest, it was hard to say whether something truly belonged to Chu Chu or Xiao Xiao. In the past, the two sisters divided things according to their preferences.
For example, allocating time for manipulating the body.
Previously, Chu Chu almost never competed with Xiao Xiao for control of the body. Chu Chu was only interested in fighting when it was necessary. If a martial art was acquired, Chu Chu would practice it first, followed by Xiao Xiao. Conversely, if it was about eating something delicious, Xiao Xiao had to go first. Chu Chu had no interest in these things.
"He Yunxiao" is Chu Chu, and "Chu Fan" is Xiao Xiao.
In Chu Chu's view, this allocation was just as fair and just as before, with nothing wrong with it. Even if Xiao Xiao secretly took up her time, it was only because Xiao Xiao needed to get close to Chu Fan.
The two sisters maintained this tacit understanding for a long time. Due to their different personalities and hobbies, they never had any conflicts over taking each other's things.
Given the numerous precedents of peaceful distribution, Chu Chu didn't take Xiao Xiao's matter to heart.
Without He Yunxiao, Chu Chu had no interest in controlling her body.
She closed her eyes, cutting off her vision of the outside world.
Chu Chu said to Xiao Xiao: I'll cover for you one last time, this is the last time.
...
Let's go back to the morning.
He Yunxiao knocked on the door from outside, while Xiaoxiao hesitated inside.
Chu Chu's vision and hearing are currently disabled, so she is unaware of the outside world. Should we tell Chu Chu that He Yunxiao has arrived?
Xiao Xiao thought for a moment. She needed to use her skills wisely. She couldn't impersonate Chu Chu too often. Normally, she'd let Chu Chu accompany He Yunxiao to easily mislead him. She would only step in when absolutely necessary! Using Chu Chu's identity, she could make this annoying He Yunxiao completely obedient to her!
Hmph, I am a genius! How could He Yunxiao be a match for me?
Chu Chu! He Yunxiao is here! I told you right away this time.
...
He Yunxiao knocked on the door for a while, and then the wooden door of the protagonist's house was opened with a "creak".
Chu Chu stood in the courtyard, looking at him with annoyance.
Upon seeing Chu Chu, He Yunxiao disregarded her expression and walked into the courtyard with an air of seriousness. He then closed the door to conceal himself, before suddenly revealing his true colors and bending down to grab Chu Chu's small hand.
Chuchu pulled her little hand back, preventing He Yunxiao from catching it.
He Yunxiao: ?
Try to catch her again, but Chu Chu hides again.
He Yunxiao knew perfectly well that if Chu Chu, the number one beauty in the world, didn't want him to hold her hand, there was no way he could touch her.
I don't know what Chu Chu is angry about.
Because I haven't seen her for two days?
He Yunxiao tentatively took out the candied hawthorn tucked behind his back. He originally wanted to give Chu Chu a surprise, but now he had to make a move in advance to make her happy.
"Chuchu, here you go."
Chu Chu didn't like eating this stuff, so naturally she wouldn't give He Yunxiao a friendly look.
"I don't want it."
He Yunxiao was stunned. What happened to Chu Chu? She clearly enjoyed eating it just two days ago.
"Chuchu, don't you like candied hawthorns?"
He Yunxiao was fine if he hadn't mentioned candied hawthorns, but the moment he did, Chu Chu got even angrier.
I've been transferring my power to you every day, and you can't even recognize me? You've been completely fooled by Xiaoxiao. You idiot! You're useless! You good-for-nothing!
He Yunxiao was completely dumbfounded; the "Chu Language Manual," which was usually very useful, was now of little use.
Chu Chu was sulking for some unknown reason.
"Chuchu?" He Yunxiao tentatively reached out to grab Chuchu's small hand.
Chu Chu immediately shook off He Yunxiao when he touched her hand, shouting, "Don't touch me!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao secretly synchronized Chu Chu's vision, hearing, and touch. Although she did not personally control Chu Chu's body to torture He Yunxiao, she watched Chu Chu's fierce attack on He Yunxiao from her first-person perspective, feeling as if she were there herself, with a very strong sense of immersion.
