We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 43 You've fallen for him, huh? (4000 words)
Early the next morning.

While Xiao Mo was reading in the courtyard, he saw Bai Ruxue leading a girl in a light blue dress, walking step by step towards the courtyard.

Her fair and delicate face was beaming with joy.

The girl being led by Bai Ruxue had her head down, looking somewhat nervous and reluctant.
Upon seeing Xiao Mo, Bai Ruxue quickened her pace and pulled the girl into the courtyard: "Xiao Mo, this is my younger sister, Bai Qingliu. She just came of age this year. I usually call her Xiao Qing, and you can call her Xiao Qing too."

Both sisters are exceptionally beautiful, but their styles are different.

Bai Ruxue has a graceful figure and charming appearance, and looks innocent and naive, as if she is very easy to fool.

Xiaoqing, on the other hand, was slender and had a wary and cautious look in her eyes, making her seem smarter than her sister.

"Greetings, Miss Xiaoqing." Xiao Mo stood up and bowed.

"Hmph!" Xiaoqing raised her chin.

You stinky man, you stole my sister away.

It's because of this that I can only see my sister once or twice a month, and I have to sleep alone with a snake every night!
If it weren't for my reluctance to leave my sister, and the fact that cultivating as a snake is indeed too boring, I wouldn't have come down the mountain!

Seeing her little sister pouting so hard she could almost touch the sky, Bai Ruxue secretly transformed and patted her sister's bottom with the tip of her white tail.

Xiao Qing winced slightly, bit her thin lips, and bowed respectfully, performing the human etiquette her sister had taught her: "Xiao Qing greets you, young master. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause my sister and me in the future."

"Miss Xiaoqing, you flatter me. It's your sister who has been taking care of me." Xiao Mo smiled. "It's just that my room might not be big enough, so I'll have to trouble you to sleep with your sister."

"No, no, I'm not wronged," Xiaobai quickly said on behalf of her sister. "We've been sleeping together since we were little, we're used to it."

Xiaoqing nodded and said, "I like sleeping with my sister."

"That's good." Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Miss Xiao Qing, just make this your home. From now on, we'll all be one family."

"Who says we're family? Hiss."

Just as Xiaoqing was muttering to herself, Bai Ruxue slapped her sister's bottom with the tip of her tail.

Xiaoqing's eyes were misty with tears.

She was sure her sister had slapped her bottom until it was red.

"Xiao Mo, you can continue reading. I'll show my sister around the room."

As she spoke, Bai Ruxue pulled Xiaoqing into the room and slammed the door shut.

Looking at the closed door, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile: "It seems that Miss Xiao Qing has some issues with me."

In her boudoir, Bai Ruxue stood with her hands on her hips, pouting as she looked at Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, do you still remember what you promised your sister?"

"I remember." Xiaoqing touched her bottom.

"Then tell me what those things are?"

"The first thing is to not reveal your identity."

"Yeah, and then what."

"The second thing is to treat Xiao Mo like an older sister and not to cause him any trouble."

Bai Ruxue bent down and said, "So you have to listen to me, not just your sister, but also Xiao Mo, understand?"

"Okay, sister," Xiaoqing said reluctantly.

"Xiao Qing," Bai Ruxue patted Xiao Qing's head, "Xiao Mo is a very good person."

"But sister, we are demons, and he is a human. How can demons and humans live together? What if he finds out?"

"Don't worry." Bai Ruxue straightened her slender waist and patted her younger sister's shoulder. "He's silly, a bookworm. He won't find out. Look at me, I've been around for so long, and I haven't given myself away yet."

"."

Looking at her sister's smug expression, Xiaoqing wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

Yes.

Why wasn't it discovered that my sister was so stupid?

Could it be that Xiao Mo is even more foolish?

"In short, as long as you don't show your true colors and eat the rats secretly, you won't be discovered, understand?" Bai Ruxue instructed again.

"I know, sister."

Xiaoqing sighed inwardly.

Since things have come to this, let's listen to my sister and stay with this human for a while.
"Come on, let me take you grocery shopping. I'll teach you how to cook and do laundry at noon. Let me tell you, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye."

Bai Ruxue pulled her younger sister out of the room.

About 15 minutes later, Bai Ruxue and Xiaoqing arrived at Huang Village, each carrying a basket.

“Several villages nearby set up stalls in Huangcun. I usually buy vegetables here, but some of the older women try to rip you off, so you have to bargain. Watch carefully, little sister.”

Bai Ruxue turned around and called out to an older woman, "Grandma Li, how much is this crucian carp?"

"What! Thirty-three coins?"

"I know this fish is very fat, weighing about three pounds, but it's still too expensive!"

"Twenty-five coins, I'll take it."

"No, that won't do. Twenty-eight coins is too expensive."

"Just twenty-five coins."

"Grandma Li, please sell it to me, please 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 twenty-five copper coins, then picked up the fish and put it into the bamboo basket.

"See? That's how you bargain!" Bai Ruxue looked at her younger sister with a proud expression.

Xiaoqing had mixed feelings.

Although I haven't had much contact with humans.

But is that really how they bargained?
“Sister, this doesn’t seem too difficult,” Xiaoqing said.

“Who said that? It’s very difficult! But ever since Xiao Mo passed the imperial examination, it’s been much easier for you to bargain, and people from all around are very supportive of him,” Bai Ruxue said.

"Sister, if other males sell you things, do you also act this cute?"

"How could that be?" Bai Ruxue rolled her eyes at her younger sister. "They can sell it or not, it's up to them. If they don't want to sell, I'll go to another store. I only know how to act cute with one man."

"Who is it?" Xiaoqing asked curiously.

"Silly girl," Bai Ruxue gently flicked her younger sister's forehead, "Of course it's Xiao Mo~~~"

With that, Bai Ruxue happily walked forward and continued buying groceries.

And just as my sister said, she only knows how to act cute with older women.

As for male vendors, the older sister usually quotes a price, and if the other party agrees, she sells it; if not, she turns around and leaves.

After buying groceries, Xiaoqing went home with her sister to cook.

Xiaoqing knew that her older sister was very stupid.

The fact that my sister is so skilled at cooking and tending the fire shows that she must have practiced a lot and endured a lot of hardship.

At lunchtime, her sister would deliberately leave the meat in the dishes for Xiao Mo to eat, and she wouldn't touch any herself.

Only after Xiao Mo put down his chopsticks would his sister eat the remaining meat.

However, Xiaoqing also discovered that this human man would deliberately leave behind many of her sister's favorite dishes.

In the afternoon, Xiaoqing started cleaning the yard with her older sister. From the room to the yard, her sister cleaned meticulously.

After cleaning the yard, my sister would take a book and sit in the yard with Xiao Mo to read.

However, Xiaoqing discovered that although her sister was studying, her mind was always on Xiao Mo.

As soon as Xiao Mo reached out, his sister would pour him a cup of tea.

Whenever Xiao Mo twists his neck, his sister stands up and massages his shoulders.

It seemed that Xiao Mo's sister knew what he was going to do with every move he made.

As evening approached, Xiaoqing went to the kitchen with her older sister to cook again. After dinner, her sister rolled up her sleeves and boiled water for Xiaomo to bathe.

These were all trivial matters, and Xiaoqing found them boring and troublesome just by looking at them.

"Sister, don't you get bored doing this every day?"

Seven days after arriving in Shiqiao Village, Xiaoqing and her sister were taking a bath together in the tub when she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Boring? Why?" Bai Ruxue blinked. "I find it very enjoyable."

"Why would you be happy?" Xiaoqing asked, puzzled. "Doing laundry, cooking, cleaning the yard, and even boiling water for his bath—what's so happy about that?"

"Well," Bai Ruxue said, rubbing her sister's back while thinking about how to answer, "I don't know either. It's just that as long as I can be by his side, as long as I can do things for him, even the smallest things, I'm happy."

"."

Xiaoqing didn't understand what her sister meant by saying these things.

But as the days went by, Xiaoqing found that this man seemed pretty good.
This man has a very good temper; he always has a gentle smile on his face.

Moreover, he would patiently teach me when I wanted to learn to read.

Ten days later, Xiaoqing found that she had actually gotten used to this kind of life.
But on the seventeenth day after Xiaoqing arrived in Shiqiao Village.

That night, while Bai Ruxue was absorbing the essence of the moon, she accidentally ran into a mishap.

When Bai Ruxue woke up in the morning, her face was pale and she was weak and listless, just like an ordinary person who had caught a cold.

"Sister, you should rest well today. I'll do the housework." Xiaoqing said with heartache as she looked at her sister.

Fortunately, my sister's condition wasn't serious; she just needed to rest for two days.

"But Xiaoqing, can you really do it?" Bai Ruxue asked worriedly.

It took me two whole months to learn all these housework skills.

Xiaoqing has only been learning for a little over half a month.

"It's okay, sister, you should rest well. Otherwise, how can you work like this? What if you give yourself away?"

"Okay then."

Bai Ruxue had no choice but to agree.

After tucking her sister in, Xiaoqing left the room.

Just then, Xiao Mo also got up.

Xiaoqing told Xiaomo that her sister was sick, but it wasn't a big problem, and there was no need to call a doctor; she would be fine in a couple of days.

Xiao Mo went into the room to visit Bai Ruxue.

Bai Ruxue also said that she was really fine and would recover soon, as she had experienced this before.

Xiao Mo thought that Bai Ruxue's cultivation had encountered some problems, but it shouldn't be a big deal.

Otherwise, Xiaoqing would be even more nervous than I am.

After Xiao Mo left, Bai Ruxue sat in the room and looked out the window at Xiao Qing folding Xiao Mo's clothes one by one.

Xiaoqing did a great job.

Bai Ruxue just felt something was off.

These are things that I should have done myself.
Around noon, Bai Ruxue felt much better, and she couldn't sit still; she wanted to go to the kitchen to cook for Xiao Mo.

But Xiaoqing pushed her older sister forward: "Sister, you rest, I'll cook."

Not long after, Xiaoqing brought the food out of the kitchen.

"Brother Xiao, Sister, my cooking isn't very good, please don't mind it."

"No, Xiaoqing, what you made is delicious."

"Really? Then Brother Xiao, eat more."

"it is good."

"Sister, eat more too."

"Oh, okay."

Bai Ruxue took small bites of the rice and food in her bowl.

Xiaoqing's cooking is indeed delicious.

It's a good thing that Xiao Mo enjoys the food Xiao Qing cooks.

but.

Bai Ruxue felt a dull ache in her heart, as if something was blocking her throat.

In the afternoon, Bai Ruxue, who had returned to bed, looked out the window and watched Xiao Qing pour water for Xiao Mo and massage his shoulders.

Watching Xiao Mo teach Xiao Qing to read and recognize characters.

Hearing Xiao Mo praise Xiao Qing from time to time, saying, "Miss Xiao Qing is really smart."

Bai Ruxue felt an even greater tightness in her chest.

why?

What's wrong with you?
Has my illness gotten worse?
In the evening, Aunt Chen heard that Ru Xue had caught a cold, so she came to Xiao Mo's courtyard to visit her.

"You little rascal, you're usually quite healthy, how come you caught a cold in the middle of summer? Auntie has made some medicine for you and poured it into this gourd. Drink a bowl before bed, and reheat it in the morning and drink another bowl. You'll get better soon."

Inside the room, Aunt Chen spoke to Ru Xue.

"Thank you, Aunt Chen." Bai Ruxue took the gourd and smiled slightly.

However, the girl soon lowered her head as if she had something on her mind.

"Ru Xue, 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 wear your heart on your sleeve. Do you think I don't know what's on your mind? Tell me, when you're sick, you can't keep your worries to yourself, or you won't get better."

Bai Ruxue gently bit her thin lips, her eyes showing a hint of hesitation, her fingers kneading the blanket incessantly.

Aunt Chen wasn't in a hurry; she patiently waited for her to open up to her.

"Aunt Chen." After a long while, Bai Ruxue raised her head.

"Ah."

"Xiaoqing took care of Xiao Mo for me today. She folded his clothes neatly, cooked delicious meals, and cleaned the yard very well. I should be happy, but why do I feel so empty inside? And sometimes my chest feels tight, and I can't even breathe properly."

Bai Ruxue gripped the blanket tightly with her small hands.

"Aunt Chen, what illness do I have?"

"Eh?"

Aunt Chen paused for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Aunt Chen, guess what? Is it when Xiaoqing gets close to Xiao Mo and becomes intimate with him that you feel a tightness in your chest?"

"Uh-huh."

“When Xiao Mo praises her, you know you’ll be happy for your sister, but there’s also a strange sense of loss in your heart.”

"Yeah yeah."

Aunt Chen pointed to the woman's heaving chest: "Does it sometimes feel sore here, like you've drunk vinegar?"

"That's right, I never did that before, Aunt Chen, how did you know?"

"Fool!"

Aunt Chen sighed and gently tapped the woman's brow.

"So you've fallen for him?"
