Perfectly Reasonable, Right?

Only after Xiao Wu had completely calmed down did she notice what Ye Qiu was carrying on his back. Seeing that he was still staring at her blankly, she felt an inexplicable sweetness in her heart.

"Ye Qiu, where did you go? What are you carrying on your back? Hmm?"

Seeing that Ye Qiu was still spacing out, Xiao Wu felt that she had been imagining things. She pulled his hand off her head, huffing angrily.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

"Huh? N-Nothing." Snapping back to his senses, Ye Qiu scratched his head. "What did you ask me just now?"

"Ye Qiu! Do you even care about Sister Xiao Wu?" Xiao Wu glared at him, her mood turning sour.

"Why would I put you in my heart?" Ye Qiu rolled his eyes. No longer dwelling on what she had just said, he turned and placed the things on the table.

"You—hmph!" Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, too angry to know what to say, and could only let out another indignant huff.

"Come take a look at what I prepared for you."

"You prepared something for me?" The rabbit's ears perked up in curiosity. With a puzzled look, she hopped over to Ye Qiu. "Is it something fun again?"

"Why do you only ever think about playing?" Ye Qiu held his head, somewhat helpless.

Xiao Wu ignored Ye Qiu's jab, her eyes fixed on the clothes in his hands.

A gleam flashed through her eyes. "These are for me?"

"Of course." Ye Qiu glanced at her. "Look whose clothes you've been wearing. No one should make fun of you anymore! Hehe."

Thinking of how Xiao Wu had been laughed at by the other little kids when she went out wearing his clothes, Ye Qiu could not help but laugh.

"Hurry up and change into them inside, then let me see!"

He urged her to try them on quickly. If anything did not fit, he could still alter it.

However, the facts proved that Ye Qiu had been overthinking it.

"Ye Qiu, how is it? Does it look good?" Xiao Wu, dressed in her new clothes, kept spinning in circles in front of him.

"Not bad. They fit you well!"

"Hey! I'm asking whether they look good or not!"

"Mm, why don't you come look at this blanket first?"

"Ye Qiu!" Xiao Wu called out his name word by word, clenching her fists as she imagined punching him in the face. She could not understand why this guy always made her angry!

But for the sake of the new clothes, Xiao Wu decided to forgive him this time.

Ye Qiu had already spread out the new blanket. When he turned around, he found her leaning close. "Why did you buy a blanket?"

Then she pulled a long face and pressed herself close to Ye Qiu. "Are we not sleeping together anymore?"

"..." Ye Qiu was speechless. As expected of the Hooligan Rabbit—what kind of outrageous thing was that to say?

Still, Ye Qiu patiently explained, "Men and women should keep their distance. Once we get to the academy, the beds will be separate."

"Oh~ Is that so?"

Hearing the disappointment in her voice, Ye Qiu could not help worrying about his future safety.

If Tang San still fell for this rabbit and learned that they had shared a bed, would that not be a death wish?

"Oh, right. There's even a little rabbit embroidered on the blanket."

Bang! Before he could finish speaking, Ye Qiu was embraced by a petite figure and knocked to the ground.

Other than her mother, no one had ever treated her this well. For a moment, she could not hold back her emotions.

"I saw it. Thank you, Ye Qiu."

The soft voice flowing into his ears and the breath brushing against his cheek stirred Ye Qiu's nerves.

He could not help sighing inwardly. No wonder even Tang San, who had lived two lives, had been captivated by this rabbit. This really was hard to resist.

She was so kawaii that anyone would be smitten.

Even after a while, she still showed no sign of letting go.

"You should let me go now, right? I can barely breathe!"

"I won't! You're always making me angry, so I'll crush you to death!"

Still pinning Ye Qiu down, she wriggled her body as though she wanted to grind him into pieces. Her little face was red, though it was hard to tell whether it was from exertion or embarrassment.

This is really torture! Ye Qiu complained inwardly, his face flushing for once. He truly could not breathe anymore!

"Hooligan Rabbit! Don't go too far!"

Ye Qiu believed that a man could be killed, but not humiliated!

"Ah! You still dare call me Hooligan Rabbit? Today, Sister Xiao Wu is definitely going to beat you up!"

...Another farce came to an end under Ye Qiu's Sharingan gaze.

Of course, it would have been better if his left eye socket had not turned purple.

"Ye Qiu... Are you okay? Are you okay?" Xiao Wu stretched out her little paw and kept waving it in front of him.

"I won't die!" Ye Qiu answered irritably.

"I didn't do it on purpose. At worst, I'll let you hit me back. How about that?" Squatting in front of Ye Qiu, she pointed at her own eye.

"No need. Consider it an apology to Xiao Bai."

"Hey, what exactly haven't you packed yet? I told you to get ready yesterday. All you know how to do is play!"

Early the next morning, Ye Qiu's impatient voice rang out from the stone house.

The swelling around his eye had already gone down, but there was now a bite mark on his cheek. No one knew what that silly rabbit had been up to last night.

She had insisted on sharing one blanket with him. That was not all—she had even bitten him in the middle of the night. Ye Qiu felt she had done it deliberately in revenge, but he had no proof.

"I'm done already! Why are you being so fierce? I only bit you once!" Xiao Wu's eyes curved with amusement as she stuck out her tongue at Ye Qiu, making him even more certain that the rabbit had done it on purpose.

"Why have you covered your eyes?" Xiao Wu looked at him curiously.

At that moment, Ye Qiu's eyes were wrapped in a Black Silk Ribbon. No one could see his eyes from the outside, while it barely obstructed his vision from within.

"My Martial Soul is my eyes. Of course I need to protect such a vulnerable place. That's perfectly reasonable, right?" He spread his hands and explained.

Protection was indeed part of the reason. The tomoe in his Sharingan were quite conspicuous, and if someone with ulterior motives learned that his Martial Soul had changed, trouble would be inevitable.

Besides, that improper ability could also be restrained to some extent.

Xiao Wu looked again at the wooden toys in front of her—the bow and arrows, slingshot, and so on. "It's a shame we can't take these toys with us."

"If you want them, I'll make more for you later. All I need is wood." Ye Qiu curled his lips, adding silently, I'm just afraid that once you see Tang San's crossbows, you'll look down on my craftsmanship!

"Then it's settled! Let's go." Hearing that, Xiao Wu broke into a smile. She took Ye Qiu's hand and stepped outside through the wooden door.

One hand covered her little pink bag. Only she knew that there was now something else inside: a Bamboo Dragonfly, the first toy Ye Qiu had made for her.

"Wait for me." After saying that to Xiao Wu, he walked beneath the peach tree, lit several sticks of incense, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.

"Grandpa, Xiao Qiu is leaving now."

Just as he was about to rise, he discovered that Xiao Wu had knelt down as well.

"What are you doing?" Ye Qiu looked at her in confusion. Had her Rabbit Head stopped working or something?

"I-I'm kneeling for my mother, okay?!" Xiao Wu stammered. No matter how one looked at it, she seemed rather guilty.

Muttering something under her breath, she quickly kowtowed a few times before immediately getting up and running off into the distance.

"How strange!" Ye Qiu was completely baffled by her actions.
