Volume 1 Chapter 70: Do you like it?

  The man's thin lips curled up into a faint, enigmatic smile: "Does the wife not recognize her husband?"

  Su Xiaofan was stunned, this tone, this phrase, was exactly like Little Treasure's, but Little Treasure was clearly a child, and the person in front of her was an adult, no matter how she looked at him, he didn't resemble Little Treasure at all.

  "You, move first." Su Xiao Fan suddenly realized that he was currently pressing down on her body. His body temperature was very high, but it didn't make her feel uncomfortable, instead she felt a little comfortable.

  "Huh?" The man raised his slender eyebrows, seemingly not understanding what she was saying.

  "Hey, you're hurting me." Su Xiao Fan turned her face away, gazing out the window at the night scene. Although it was still a familiar view, it looked unrealistically beautiful, as if she were dreaming.

  The man beside her lifted his hand to tidy up her hair, then pressed his face against her chest and listened quietly for a moment before speaking: "Your heartbeat is so fast, come tell me, where are you uncomfortable? I'll help you massage it."

  Su Xiaofan turned her head and glared at him angrily: "I said, get out of the way, who are you?"

  The man lightly laughed and lowered his head to kiss her lips, his slightly cold tongue slipping into her mouth, greedily taking in her breath, forcefully exploring every corner.

  "Ugh... let go." Su Xiaofan patted his bare back dizzily.

  It feels so strange, I clearly want to use force to push him away, but my hands seem to have no strength at all. His tongue that swept across his own mouth seemed to draw out his own strength bit by bit, making me feel numb and unable to move.

  It wasn't until he realized the person beneath him was breathing tightly that the man finally released her lips, gazing at her as she panted heavily under him. He reached out to brush away the hair from her forehead and met her dazed, alluring eyes, his expression tightening as his palm slid along the edge of her thin garment, wanting to slip inside.

  Su Xiaofan was shocked and just as she wanted to stop him, she suddenly felt that the weight on her body had disappeared a lot, and then the whole person was pushed under the bed by a force.

  Covering his sore butt, he lifted his head intending to scold the person who had kicked him off the bed, but unexpectedly met Xiao Yimeng's watery eyes. At this moment, those watery eyes were filled with complex emotions.

  Su Xiaofan blinked her eyes, rubbed them again, then reached out to pinch herself, and touched her own lips.

  It seems that the warmth of the kiss still lingers on my lips, but in front of me is only Xiaobao, where has that demon's figure gone? Could it be that I was just dreaming? But if it were just a dream, how could I have fallen to the ground? It feels so real.

  "Are you going to sleep on the floor?" Xiao Yi Mo hid the complex emotions in his eyes, pulled over a thin quilt and wrapped himself up, lay down and pretended to calm down, looking out the window with deep furrows between his eyebrows.

  "Hey, little treasure, why did you kick me?" Su Xiaofan frowned and sat up, then lay back down on the bed.

  She rubbed her lips vigorously with her hand, and the remaining warmth that had not yet faded was so real that it made her feel inexplicably annoyed.

  “……”

  Xiao Yimeng glanced at her with a flicker of his eyes, then turned his head and continued to look out the window.

  I don't know what reason, while sleeping suddenly felt a surge of energy inside the body running wild, after waking up and found that I had restored myself, with joy I gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, suddenly I had an urge to tease her a bit, didn't expect to be stirred up desire, then my body again inexplicably shrunk, what's going on here?

  Su Xiaofan lay entangled in her thoughts for a long time before falling asleep again.

  After she fell asleep, Xiao Yimeng quietly got out of bed, put on his clothes after searching for them, and carried the clothes that had been torn apart because his body had suddenly grown bigger earlier out of the room.

  Today, it was Xiao Yuanqiu who kept watch here. After being shaken awake by Xiao Yimò, he followed him out with a puzzled expression, quietly opening the door of the main hall and walking out.

  "Mo Di, what's going on?" Xiao Yuanqiu covered his mouth and yawned, looking up at the horizon. It was still quite early before dawn.

  Xiao Yimo silently stretched out his hand in front of him and spoke in a low voice, "Take a look at what's going on. I just recovered for a bit."

  Xiao Yuanqiu was shocked upon hearing this, and quickly reached out to take his pulse. After a moment of furrowed brows, he said: "The internal energy in your body has shown signs of recovery, what did you do after recovering? How could it suddenly recede again?"

  "Uh..." Xiao Yimeng's eyes sank, and his face turned slightly red.

  "Hehe, I know." Xiao Yuanqiu smiled knowingly and then casually said: "Don't worry, tomorrow I'll write a letter to ask Master about it."

  "Alright, help me deal with this." After handing over the clothes in his hand, Xiao Yimeng turned and entered the house.

  Xiao Yu stood outside with a solemn expression on his face, staring in the direction where he had long gone into the house.

  "Is it because the amount of medicine powder I took was not enough?"

  Thinking so, although it was still a long time before dawn, he had lost all sleepiness and got up to deal with the clothes he had entrusted to himself. After that, he stood at the gate of the courtyard in a daze.

  Su Xiaofan also didn't sleep well for a whole night, previously always felt extremely real, but after falling asleep again still kept dreaming of that demonic face, so it should just be a dream after all.

  He got up early, feeling unwell, and when he went out, he saw Xiao Yuanqiu sitting at the gate of the main hall. He was slightly surprised and exclaimed: "What's wrong with you? Why did you get up so early?"

  "Hmm, couldn't sleep, fortunately got up early." Xiao Yuanqiu smiled slightly.

  "Uh-huh, me too. I'll go make some breakfast, you sit for a while." Su Xiaofan yawned and entered the kitchen.

  With a distracted mind, I started preparing food. The face from last night's dream was indeed very familiar. It looked similar to Little Treasure, but not entirely the same. In my memory, Little Treasure should grow up to look just like his father, Xiao Leng. However, the person from last night was even more handsome than that scoundrel Xiao Leng. Moreover, I felt as if I had seen him before meeting Little Treasure, but when exactly?

  What's with that familiar feeling again?

  "What are you thinking?" Xiao Yuanqiu leaned against the kitchen door with a slant, asking softly.

  She sat in front of the stove after entering the kitchen, and she was still sitting there for a while, but the fire had not risen yet.

  "It was nothing, just a bad dream." Su Xiaofan shook her head and then came back to herself, starting to seriously prepare food.

  Xiao Yimeng, who had just come out of the house, frowned upon hearing her words. Was what he did last night a nightmare for her? She still didn't like him after all.

  "Mo Di is also up this early." Xiao Yuanqiu guessed that he might have been like himself, sleepless for the whole night.

  "Hmm." Xiao Yimò didn't answer directly, just nodded slightly and walked out of the courtyard.

  Xiao Yuan followed with a shallow smile, and after a night of entanglement, most things had been sorted out. Since Shifu had instructed him to do so, he just needed to follow Shifu's words and didn't need to think too much. Perhaps thinking about the relationship between Shifu and Uncle Ling, maybe Uncle Ling also knew about this matter.

  "Miao Di, no need to be too anxious, the days until returning to the valley are only a few short months. Xie Yuanqiu had previously inquired about Su Xiaofan's birthday and saw that summer was about to pass, which meant that by springtime, Xiaofan would turn sixteen and they could return to the valley together."

  "It's not that I'm particularly anxious, it's just... " Xiao Yimeng was worried at this moment that the woman might really not like him.

  Even if you're sure you like her, and can say that there's no one else in the world for you but her, what do you do if she likes someone else? Can you force her to be with you? Can you force her to become your woman?

  "She has long been engaged to you, Mo Di, what are you uneasy about?" Xiao Yuanqiu was slightly shocked and indeed saw the unease in his eyes.

  "If she doesn't like me..." Xiao Yimiao hesitated for a moment before speaking out.

  "I think she likes you, Mo Di, you're overthinking." Xiao Yuanqiu smiled, it's really true that onlookers see more than players. From his own perspective, Su Xiaofan was very good to Mo Di, although in her eyes, Mo Di was just a childish figure, but perhaps in her heart, there were emotions she hadn't even discovered herself.

  Xiao Yimeng felt slightly relieved, perhaps it was indeed her previous sentence that had disturbed his thoughts.

  Suddenly recalling the scene of first meeting her, perhaps at that moment I had already moved my heart for her. And that so-called idea of wanting to tie her up and take revenge on her was actually just an excuse for myself to stay by her side.

  However, she seemed to have completely forgotten about what happened when they first met and didn't recognize him at all last night.

  In the wine shop at noon.

  Su Xiaofan held her cheek with one hand, her eyes staring unblinkingly at Xiao Yimeng.

  After a long time, Xiao Yimeng raised his eyebrows: "If you have something to say, just say it."

  "No." Su Xiao Fan quickly turned his head, looking out the window. Today, he felt a sense of guilt when facing Xiaobao, and although he was convinced it was just a dream, he couldn't shake off the strong feeling of sin. He also felt that recently, he had been staring at him more and more, wondering if he actually had pedophilia?

  "Nothing?" Xiao Yi Mo didn't believe it from the start. The way she looked at herself, wanting to speak but stopping, how could that be nothing?

  "Uh, no." Su Xiao Fan didn't dare turn her head to look at him, and the words she spoke also lacked confidence.

  "What's wrong with Xiao Fan?" Yu Xiaoxi helped them bring over a jug of wine, taking the opportunity to come over and rest for a while. This jug of wine was prepared for Xiao Yuanqiu at noon, it was one of the fruit wines that Xiao Fan had brewed himself, and it was the first batch that had been bottled.

  Yu Xiaoxi turned her head and stared at the wine jug for a moment before handing over the teacup: "Xiaoxi, fill it up."

  Yu Xiao Xi Wei Leng: "Full?"

  "Ah, fill it up." Su Xiaofan felt a sense of unease in his heart, perhaps drinking some wine would help him clear his head.

  "Alright." After Yu Xiaoxi helped her pour a full cup of wine, she only then discovered that the thing in her hand was actually a large tea cup. Was it okay to use a tea cup to drink wine?

  Su Xiaofan lifted the cup, tilted her head and drank it all in one gulp. Then she shook her head: "Hmmm, indeed, I shouldn't have increased the degree, not good to drink. Xiao Xi, come again."

  Yu Xiaoxi hesitated and glanced at Xiao Yimeng, asking with her eyes if she really wanted to refill it for her again.

  Xiao Yi Mo frowned at her, feeling that there was something strange about her today. Was she still unhappy because of what happened last night?

  She really dislikes herself?

  What's with this heavily depressed mood?

  Yu Xiaoxi saw that she didn't react much, so he poured her another cup.

  "I'll have a cup too." Xiao Yuanqiu took over the wine glass beside him and placed it in front of himself.

  Yu Xiaoxi was speechless, and thought to herself that she had come over just to pour wine for them. Thinking so, she still poured a full cup for him.

  "Does Xiaoxi want to drink?" Su Xiaofan pulled her over to sit beside him, scanning the store. At this moment, there weren't many customers left, and the two brothers could handle it on their own, so he let her keep him company for a bit.

  "Good." Yu Xiao Xi smiled and poured herself a cup, taking a sip: "Not bad, quite tasty."

  "I'll get you something better later." Su Xiaofan smiled and picked up the wine jug to pour himself a drink.

  Xiao Yimo silently stared at them for a while, then pushed the teacup in front of him to her: "I'll have another cup too."

  "Don't, kids can't drink alcohol."

  "Don't treat me like a kid, hurry up and fill my cup." Xiao Yimeng raised an eyebrow in displeasure. It wasn't fair that everyone else could drink, but she was only allowed to watch. Moreover, it was her own personally brewed wine, and she had originally wanted to be the first to taste it.

  "No." Su Xiao Fan hugged the wine jug in her arms and drank several cups in a row on an empty stomach, her head was getting dizzy.

  Xiao Yi Mo displeasedly furrowed his brow, silently staring at him.

  Su Xiaofan saw his displeasure and coaxed him with gentle words: "Little treasure, be good, when you grow up, sister will accompany you to drink as much as you want."

  Yu Xiaoxi also saw the displeasure of Xiao Yimeng, and her intuition told her that this child would have serious consequences when he got angry. She quickly pressed down Su Xiaofan's hand, which was pouring wine for herself: "Okay, Xiaofan, you don't drink either. If you don't drink, he won't make a fuss."

  "What's going on?" Xiao Yimeng stared over coldly, that woman last night also said she was just messing around.

  "Have another drink." Su Xiao Fan smiled and moved her hand away, refilling her own cup before speaking: "Little treasure, let me tell you, kids who drink won't grow tall, do you want to stay this small forever?"

  "What's wrong with being a little bigger?" Xiao Yimiao always felt that her expression at this moment seemed to be extremely disgusted with herself.

  Su Xiaofan blinked: "Not really."

  "Alright, Xiao Fan, what's wrong with you today?" Yu Xiaoxi saw her pouring herself wine nonstop.

  Su Xiaofan silently continued drinking, wondering what this intense and unrelenting anxiety in her heart was, which even drinking couldn't suppress.

  "What's wrong with her?" Seeing she didn't respond, Yu Xiaoxi had no choice but to turn around and ask Xiao Yimeng.

  Xiao Yi Mo was also silent, suddenly feeling a little regretful. If he had known earlier that she would be so disgusted by his behavior towards her, he would have restrained himself.

  Looking at his entangled appearance, Xiao Yuanqiu couldn't help but lean in close to her and whisper: "What did you do to her last night? You know the real you is just a stranger to her, how can she not be depressed?"

  Xiao Yi Mo's face suddenly lit up with a look of enlightenment, and his furrowed brow also relaxed.

  "Come on, let's have another drink together." Su Xiaofan took the wine jug and poured her a glass without permission.

  "You tell me what's wrong with you first, and I'll drink with you." Yu Xiaoxi pressed down the wine glass in front of her, her own capacity for liquor wasn't good, if she continued drinking with her like this, she was probably going to get drunk.

  "Hmm, nothing much." Su Xiaofan furrowed her brow. She was drinking because she couldn't figure out why she felt so annoyed and frustrated in the first place. If she knew what it was, she wouldn't have been feeling so suffocated all morning.

  "It's not like it's weird or anything, even that little brat at your house wouldn't believe you." Yu Xiaoxi felt she was being perfunctory with herself.

  Su Xiaofan rubbed her brow, and then walked up to Su Xiaofan with a puzzled expression on her face and said: "Don't you think our little treasure is getting more and more handsome?"

  Yu Xiaoxi raised her eyes and stared at Xiao Yimeng for a moment: "I don't think so, hasn't he always been like that?"

  "Although he's always been that way, I don't know why but recently I feel like he's getting more and more pleasing to the eye." Su Xiao Fan furrowed his brow and downed another glass of wine. The recent little treasure had given him a really strange feeling. Clearly it was still the same little treasure, but some actions and expressions that used to be cute in his eyes had recently become damn attractive in his eyes, just like now, as long as he kept staring at him, he couldn't tear his gaze away.

  "Hmm... indeed, he's more pleasing to the eye than before." Yu Xiaoxi felt that she no longer disliked him as much as she used to. After all, he was more reliable than Zhang Yuncong.

  "Right? He's still just a kid, but he always gives people a very mature feeling, isn't that strange?" Su Xiaofan lowered her voice and occasionally stole glances at the two sitting across from them.

  "That's right, it's very strange."

  Yu Xiaoxi also had some perception of this, occasionally he would give people the illusion that he was actually an adult, not just in his words, but sometimes his expressions were exceptionally mature.

  Xiao Yuanqiu pursed her lips and smiled faintly, not saying a word. Although they had intentionally lowered their voices, at such a close distance, even such a small sound could be heard, right? And looking at Mo Di's expression at this moment, he might have also heard it.

  "Does Xiaofan like Xiaopi?" Yu Xiaoxi thought for a moment and blinked, asking seriously.

  "Do you like it?" Su Xiaofan frowned.

  The chaotic thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down.

  Sometimes I get a feeling that I won't be good enough for him in the future. Is it because I like him?

  Is it also because I like him that I feel guilty in my heart for being moved by the person in my dream last night?

  Do I find him more and more handsome, so handsome that I occasionally don't want to look away, because my perception of him has changed?

  "Hmm? Do you like it?" Yu Xiaoxi's face turned red as she lowered her head and whispered: "I used to feel the same way when I first realized I liked Su Bing. I thought he looked even more handsome than when I first met him, and those simple things he did in front of me became especially endearing."

  *sigh*...

  Su Xiaofan sighed lightly and rubbed her forehead.

  Xiao Yimao raised an eyebrow, himself clearly restraining his racing heart as he waited for her response, but what he got instead was a sigh, and with it, a profound implication that left him wondering what she meant.

  "Haha, you like him, don't you?" Yu Xiaoxi smiled slyly and patted Su Xiaofan's shoulder: "Why are you worried about this? It doesn't matter anyway. He'll be your husband in the future, won't he? Liking your own husband isn't strange at all."

  "It's not strange to like one's own husband, but he's still a child, how can I look at a little kid with other thoughts?" Su Xiaofan got a headache, recently her unusual behaviors were all because of this reason!

  Xiao Yimao's raised eyebrows finally relaxed, and his ink-colored eyes were filled with a warm smile as he stared at the teacup in front of him.

  Yu Xiaoxi furrowed her brow and thought for a moment before responding, "You were originally his childhood bride to begin with, so can't you just like him? Unless, Xiao Fan, you want to have an affair?"

  When the red apricot comes out of the wall...

  Suddenly, Su Xiaofan recalled the dream from last night, the demonic man in the dream, and that extremely strange kiss.

  Then he lowered his head in shame, so this shouldn't be considered a case of "the red apricot comes out of the wall", right?

  "Alright, I thought you were worried about something. It's just this small matter. I'll go busy myself." Yu Xiaoxi stood up and took the wine jug with her, although it was originally meant for Xiao Yuanqiu to drink, but in this situation, leaving it here would only result in Xiao Fan drinking it all by himself.

  "Girl, you really want to get out of the red wall?" Xiao Yi's eyebrows jumped up and down, and his previously pleasant and relaxed mood was instantly lifted again.

  "Who cares." Su Xiao Fan glared at him with a bad attitude.

  Obviously a boy looks so good for nothing, obviously a child has such a mature temperament for nothing.

  If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have become so strange either. You know, my former self was almost thirty years old, and this thirty-year-old aunt liked to hang out with five or six year olds, no matter how I thought about it, it felt very strange to myself.

  "I didn't expect you to react like that. Let me tell you, whether you're alive or dead, you're still a young master's person. Don't think about others." Xiaoyi Mo's mischievous childlike face flashed with countless faces, analyzing each person around her, wondering which one was most likely to make her fall in love.

  "How did you come here? Please come this way."

  Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Yu Xiaoxi's voice and turned his head back in confusion, only to meet Lan Ming's cold face.

  Ah, most likely it's this person in front of me.

  Then glared at him with hatred.

  Lan Meng raised an eyebrow slightly, he had just arrived and shouldn't have provoked him, so where did this intense hostility come from?

  Su Xiaofan suppressed the turmoil in her heart and asked aloud, "How did you have time to come over today?"

  "This Yun Song has been very honest and stayed in the inn all day, doing nothing. I was starting to suspect that he had given up on the idea of taking you back to the capital, but this morning I mentioned going back to the capital to him, and he said we still need to wait for a while." After Lan Ming sat down, she smelled a strong wine aroma, but there was no wine jug on the table, only her face was exceptionally red.

  "Is that so." Su Xiao Fan furrowed her brow, thinking about the matter of Yun Song was even more annoying than thinking about Little Treasure.

  "I'll think of a way." Lan Ming said involuntarily as he saw his tightly furrowed brow.

  "Ah, thank you." Su Xiaofan smiled and got up, entering the kitchen. He took out the wine jug that Xiao Xi had brought in earlier and placed it on the table: "You guys drink some wine, I'll go prepare a couple of small dishes."

  After she entered the kitchen, Xiao Yimiao picked up the wine jug and poured herself a cup, then savored it carefully.

  Lan Meng looked at his movements with a puzzled expression and turned to ask Xiao Yuanqiu on the side, "Is it okay for kids to drink?"

  "Ah, it's nothing, we've been drinking with our master since we were very young, so we're already used to it." Xiao Yuanqiu smiled indifferently, remembering that when he was only five or six years old, he would follow his master and drink together. At that time, he had just learned how to drink and would often get drunk and lose consciousness, and would frequently be teased by his master. In order not to be laughed at again, he and Mo Di had secretly trained their alcohol tolerance in private.

  Lan Ming raised an eyebrow and remained silent.

  When Su Xiaofan came out with the dishes, Lan Ming finally spoke up and asked, "Are you okay?"

  Su Xiaofan rubbed her brow: "It's nothing, I just drank a few more sips when I was feeling anxious, and I'll be fine in a bit."

  "Will this get me drunk too?" Lan Ming raised the wine cup in his hand, and to himself, this wine was almost as weak as water, only slightly more fragrant, but it would absolutely not get him drunk, no matter how much he drank.

  "Yes, although occasionally drinking a little wine, the amount is just ordinary." Su Xiaofan reached out to pinch a few strands of hair on her chest and turned back into the kitchen.

  "Your drinking capacity is quite good?" Xiao Yimeng raised an eyebrow, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

  "It's okay, I guess." Lan Ming looked over with a faint expression, and after seeing the smile on his face, he was slightly taken aback. The slightly evil smile that hung on the corner of his mouth turned into a playful one, just like a child throwing a tantrum in front of an adult.

  Xiao Yimò squatted on the stool, hugged the wine pot and poured himself a full cup, then handed it to Xiao Yuǎnqiū: "Brother Qiū help us pour wine, today I want to compare with him who can drink more."

  Xiao Yuan looked hesitantly in the direction of the kitchen, making sure that Xiao Fan would not come out for a while. He then took over the wine jug and nodded silently, thinking to himself that he must never do anything that would make Mo think he was his love rival, or else he would be in trouble every day.

  Lan Ming's eyebrows were furrowed, and even if he won in a drinking contest against a young child, others would say that he was bullying the kid.

  "What? You don't dare?" Xiao Yi's eyebrows rose, her face full of provocation as she stared at him.

  "Since you insist, I'll accompany you to drink a few more cups then." Lan Ming's expression remained calm as he picked up his wine cup and downed it in one gulp along with him.

  Xiao Yuan Qiu silently poured wine for the two, back and forth, until the wine jug was almost empty. The two still didn't seem to want to stop, so they reluctantly went into the kitchen to fetch another jug of wine.

  Su Xiaofan, busy with preparations, did not notice the situation outside. Meanwhile, the two Song brothers and Yu Xiaoxi were standing aside, watching the two people drinking together with great interest.

  "Although he is young, his capacity for liquor isn't bad." Yu Xiaoxi couldn't help but look at him with new eyes once again.

  "Hmph, this is nothing." Xiao Yimeng raised an eyebrow with unparalleled complacency.

  Lan Meng remained silent, only constantly drinking from the cup filled with wine.

  After a long time, Su Xiaofan walked out of the kitchen, blinked her eyes, looked at the extremely strange scene outside, and shouted at Xiao Yuanqiu: "What are you doing?"

  Xiao Yuanqiu's hand froze in mid-air as he poured wine, before awkwardly falling back down.

  "Xiao Fan, come quick and see, those two are having a drinking contest, it's intense!" Yu Xiao Xi excitedly pulled on Su Xiao Fan's arm.

  Su Xiaofan silently swept a glance over the two of them, seeing that their faces didn't show any change, and wondered just how much wine they had drunk.

  "Alright, whatever the reason is for this drinking game, stop it." Su Xiaofan picked up the wine jug and turned to look at Lan Ling, saying: "You're an adult, how can you have a drinking contest with a child? If you really want to drink, let's have a contest tomorrow."

  "That's unnecessary." Lan Ming hadn't forgotten that she had just said her alcohol tolerance was poor, and if she were to drink with him, she would undoubtedly lose.

  "Hmph, although I'm not very good at drinking, I've never gotten drunk before." Su Xiao Fan thought that saying he wasn't good at drinking was just being humble, but if they really started competing, who knows, maybe he'd be quite formidable.

  "En, that's good." Lan Ming replied lightly and then stood up to bid farewell.

  Su Xiaofan watched him leave before turning her head and staring fiercely at Xiao Yimeng.

  Xiao Yimo lowered his head, knowing he was in the wrong. At this time, if he were to tell her the truth, she would definitely scold him.

  After a long silence, Su Xiaofan reached out and touched his head, saying softly: "When the little treasure grows up, no matter how much wine he wants to drink, sister will accompany him to drink, but from now on, don't drink again, do you know?"

  Xiao Yi Mo nodded slightly, feeling a warmth in her heart.

  Seeing this, Su Xiaofan picked up the wine jug and returned to the kitchen.

  "Meng Ping, go settle the account."

  In the late afternoon, Yu Xiao walked into the kitchen with an empty plate.

  "Alright." Meng Ping put down what he was busy with, wiped his hands and quickly walked out.

  Behind him, Su Xiaofan glanced at the wine cellar: "You observe those two brothers, if you trust them, call one person to the kitchen and replace Meng Ping. Otherwise, he will be very tired running around inside and outside."

  Meng Jie also had this feeling, after all, his brother was very good at calculating accounts and the like: "Alright, I'll observe for a while recently."

  A few days later, Su Xiaofan and several others took a few days off and decided to rest at home, while also finding someone to deal with the fields in front of their own courtyard.

  She was originally in the main room, hugging Su Xiao Xuan and playing with her. When she saw Yu Xiao Xi walking towards her, she frowned and said: "Why didn't Little Xi go to the wine cellar? Are they busy enough?"

  "Today, Song Dawei introduced two people from the same village, and they also had experience in this aspect before, so Su Bing asked me to take a few days off with you." Yu Xiaoxi walked over and took Su Xiao Xuan from her arms: "Xiao Fang, your younger brother is getting more and more adorable!"

  "It's true now, but I don't know if it will become ugly when growing up." Su Xiao Fan stared at his small face with a thoughtful expression. Some people are extremely cute when they're young, but as they grow older, they become more and more ordinary.

  "It won't work, look, he's smiling." Yu Xiaoxi turned around excitedly to look at Su Xiaofan, this was the first time she had made him laugh.

  "Hmm, I've recently become able to laugh." Su Xiaofan casually responded and entered the room, saying to Xiao Miao who was lying on the bed: "Little treasure, why don't you go out for a bit? Being cooped up in this room all day will make you feel stifled."

  Xiao Yimeng lazily got out of bed and silently walked out.

  Yu Xiaoxi turned her head and took a glance: "Hey, little kid."

  Xiao Yimeng glared at her and walked over to the table, sitting down and leaning on it with a soft thud, just like Xiao Yuanfeng.

  "You say, shall we find something to do?" Xiao Yuanfeng felt that he had had enough of this kind of life where every day was spent doing nothing. From the moment he got out of bed in the morning, all he could do was wait boredly for nightfall, then sleep, and repeat the cycle again.

  "Yeah, it's indeed a bit boring." Xiao Yimeng lay down softly, feeling a little dizzy.

  "Do you want to go and work with those people in the fields?" Su Xiaofan pointed to the people digging mud at the entrance of the courtyard.

  Xiao Yuanfeng heard this and shook his head without even looking up: "Working with them is not as good as just lying here honestly."

  Xiao Changfu and Xiao Yuanqiu came in from outside, took a glance at the two people lying on the table, and smiled at Su Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, about what I told you before, there are several households in the village who are a bit interested, so I thought I'd come ask about the details."

  "Alright, Village Chief will do it." Su Xiao Fan walked to Xiao Yi Mo's side and sat down. After taking a glance at his slightly flushed face, she reached out her hand to feel his temperature and suddenly cried out: "So hot! Little treasure, you have a fever!"

  "Fever?" Xiao Yimeng weakly sat up, also reaching out to touch his own forehead, indeed it was a bit hot, but since childhood, he had never been sick before, why would he suddenly have a fever?

  Su Xiaofan got up and hugged him, turned around and entered the room.

  Xiao Yuan's autumn eyes deepened in color, and she quickly followed him inside: "I'll help him take a look, you go outside and talk to Uncle Fu."

  "Alright." Su Xiaofan remembered that Xiao Yuanqiu's medical skills seemed to be good, so there shouldn't be any problems, and he walked out with peace of mind.

  "For the time being, it's just the three aunts and their sons' families, as well as your aunt's family who want to take care of her, so I thought I'd ask you when you have some free time, go talk to them about the methods." Xiao Changfu also came over to ask after hearing from Xiao Yuanqiu that she had been resting at home for a few days.

  "Does Aunt's family also want to get involved? If that's the case, just have my mother go and talk to them. My mother is even more skilled in this aspect than I am." Su Xiaofan glanced at her mother, who was carrying clothes out of the house to do laundry, and smiled slightly.

  Jia smiled unnaturally: "There's no expertise, just following the method you told Fan'er, trying and groping for some experience. Since they want to know, I'll go ask them later."

  Xiao Chang nodded slightly: "Mm, then I'll leave it to you."

  "The village head was being polite." Madam Ji smiled slightly and then rebuked Su Xiaofan with a glance: "You child, the village head came and you didn't even know to get some tea ready."

  "Uh, yes, you sit here and chat with him, I'll go." Su Xiao Fan stood up and entered the kitchen, just in time to see that the little treasure was also running a fever, so she prepared something for him to eat.

  "What's going on in the field outside?" Xiao Changfu asked, looking out of the courtyard.

  "Fan'er said that they would dig deeper there, then build a fence around it to raise ducks. Autumn is coming soon, and when the rain comes, it can be filled with water." Madam Ji smiled in response.

  Xiao Changfu nodded again.

  "Also, Fan'er mentioned to me last time that he didn't know if it was possible to find a way to repair this road in the village. Village chief, can you think of a solution?" Jia suddenly remembered something Fan'er had casually said before, and since the village chief happened to be there today, she asked him directly.

  "What road?" Xiao Changfu raised an eyebrow.

  "Ah, Fan'er said that if we often need to transport the chickens and ducks in and out in the future, this road won't be very convenient. It would be better to pave it with stone slabs, so it won't be muddy on rainy days." Jia told him what Fan'er had previously said to her.

  Xiao Changfu stroked his beard and said, "Indeed, that's correct. If there were more people like Hou Village Chief doing this, I would discuss it with the villagers."

  Jia smiled and nodded: "Mmm, thanks Village Chief."

  Inside the house, Xiao Yuan's face was solemn as he took Xiao Yi Mo's pulse.

  It's been a long time since he saw him and still couldn't come to a conclusion. Xiao Yimo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't it just a cold?"

  Xiao Yuanqiu shook his head slightly: "It doesn't seem like that, and you and I have grown up in our master's valley since childhood, going through various trials and tribulations. We basically won't get wind chills or anything like that. Judging from the situation, it seems to be related to the chaotic true energy inside your body. I'm powerless, do you want to return to the valley ahead of schedule?"

  "Is it that serious?" Xiao Yimeng thought to himself that apart from feeling a bit feverish, he would only feel dizzy, and maybe after sleeping for a while, he would be fine.

  "It's unclear how serious it is at the moment, but if you don't go back, it may be necessary to have Master come out. Xue Yuanqiu's expression was heavy, precisely because he and himself had never been ill before, so he felt that something was amiss. Moreover, since his sudden recovery last time, he had increased the amount of medicinal powder used on him in recent days. Could it be due to the medicinal powder that caused the fever?"

  "Let's take a look again tomorrow." Xiao Yimeng rubbed his brow and decided to take a short nap.

  "Alright, you rest first. I'll go get some medicine for you." Xiao Yuanqiu walked out after he closed his eyes.

  Xiao Changfu saw his serious expression and didn't ask much, planning to ask in detail after going back later.

  At night, Xiao Mo was still asleep and didn't wake up even after Su Xiaofan called him several times. She couldn't help but feel worried, constantly changing the towel on his forehead, but his temperature hadn't dropped at all.

  "Fang'er, why don't you go see a doctor?" Ye Shi pushed open the door and walked in. All day Fang'er had been uneasy about Young Master's matter, and she herself was also unable to calm down.

  "That Xiao Yuanqiu is now a doctor, I just gave him the medicine he sent over, let's see if it will get better later." Su Xiaofan stood up and walked out with Ye Shi: "I'm going to take a bath, Grandma and Mother can sleep first."
