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 had to go to the kitchen with her older sister to cook again.

After dinner, the older sister rolled up her sleeves and boiled water for Xiao Mo to take a bath.

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 food, and cleaned the yard very well. I should be happy, but why do I feel empty inside? And sometimes my chest feels tight, and I can't even breathe."

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?"

Chapter 44 Xiao Mo, I think I've fallen for you.

By the next day, Bai Ruxue had almost fully recovered.

Xiao Mo was naturally relieved to see Ru Xue recover.

However, after Ru Xue recovered from her illness, Xiao Mo always felt that she was a little strange.

Xiao Mo discovered that Ru Xue often secretly watched him.

When I look at her, she quickly looks away, pretending nothing has happened.

After he looked away, she would secretly peek at him again.

For example, right now, Ruxue is hanging clothes out to dry.

Although Xiao Mo was flipping through the book, he could already feel Bai Ruxue's gaze.

Xiao Mo looked up and met Bai Ruxue's eyes.

Bai Ruxue seemed to be electrocuted, and quickly looked away, turning her head back to continue hanging clothes, even pretending to straighten the already flat clothes.

Xiao Mo put down his book and walked towards Bai Ruxue.

As Bai Ruxue sensed Xiao Mo approaching her, her heart began to race.

The closer Xiao Mo got, the more nervous Bai Ruxue became, and she quickened her pace while hanging the clothes to dry.

"Ru Xue, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Xiao Mo walked to Bai Ruxue's side and asked.

"Huh? No, no." Bai Ruxue's eyes darted around, her delicate white hands waving incessantly. "What could possibly be wrong with me? Nothing, nothing at all."

"Really not?" Xiao Mo asked.

"That's all." Bai Ruxue's eyes darted around, looking guilty, and her face was flushed.

Xiao Mo didn't know why she was blushing while hanging out the laundry.

Just as Xiao Mo was about to ask again...

A piece of clothing next to Xiao Mo was not hung properly and slowly slid down from the bamboo clothesline.

Xiao Mo subconsciously reached out and caught the garment.

The smoothness and silkiness of the fabric made Xiao Mo freeze in place.
