Will He Marry Me Then

In the courtyard, Xiao Qing let out a satisfied burp.

Just moments ago, Xiao Qing had indulged her appetite.

The dozen or so nearby rats had all been gobbled down by Xiao Qing in one go.

Just as Xiao Qing was full, satisfied, and comfortably wanting to go to sleep.

Suddenly, Xiao Qing saw her elder sister running back from the darkness.

"Sister, you."

"Xiao Qing, I'm going to sleep!"

Before Xiao Qing could finish speaking, Bai Ruxue ran into the room as if fleeing, leaving Xiao Qing bewildered in the darkness.

What's wrong with Sister?

Speaking of which, where is Brother Xiao?

Didn't he go looking for Sister?

Xiao Qing waited in the courtyard. After about half an incense stick's worth of time, Xiao Mo finally returned.

Xiao Qing quickly ran up to him, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with Sister? Did something happen between you and Sister?"

"Ummm," Xiao Mo thought for a moment, "Your sister and I did have a little something happen, but it's nothing serious. Ruxue is actually fine, you don't need to worry."

"Okay."

Since Brother Xiao said so, then Sister should be alright.

"Get some rest early, I'm going back to my room," Xiao Mo said to Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing nodded, "Brother Xiao, you get some rest early too."

"I said it, I actually said it!"

Bai Ruxue lay on the bed, her ankles tensed, her shapely calves repeatedly slapping the bed.

She tightly covered her head with a pillow, only her peach blossom eyes peeking out.

"I realized I think I've fallen for you."

Recalling what she had just said to Xiao Mo, Bai Ruxue was overcome with embarrassment, her fair, slender calves slapping the quilt even faster.

After a long while, as the shyness in her heart slowly faded, Bai Ruxue gradually calmed down.

"Wait. Why am I so shy? And why did I run away on the mountain?"

After calming down a little, Bai Ruxue realized she might have done something wrong.

After she said those words, she felt so embarrassed that she just wanted to run down the mountain as quickly as possible.

But in reality, there was no need for her to be shy.

Liking someone is liking them, not liking them is not liking them.

I just like Xiao Mo.

I just said what was in my heart.

I didn't even wait for Xiao Mo's reply before running down the mountain.

"Really, why did I run?"

Bai Ruxue buried her head in the pillow again, feeling a little annoyed.

After a moment of annoyance, Bai Ruxue turned over and lay on her back on the bed.

She looked at the ceiling, hugging her pillow, her mind racing with thoughts.

Does Xiao Mo like me?

He probably likes me, right?

He said before that when she understood what true love was, he would marry her.

This must be true love, right?

Then will he marry me?

Do his words from back then still count?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Bai Ruxue became.

She wanted to go find Xiao Mo, but she didn't dare to ask.

In her heart, she longed for the answer, yet she was terrified of it.

"So annoying, so annoying, so annoying!" Bai Ruxue rolled back and forth on the bed like a rolling pin, "I wasn't like this before."

"Sister, what's wrong?"

When Xiao Qing walked into the room, she found her elder sister constantly rolling around on the bed.

"Xiao Qing."

Bai Ruxue hugged her pillow, sitting on the bed like a duck, her peach blossom eyes darting around.

"I feel like I'm not myself anymore, what should I do?"

In the room, Xiao Mo lit a candle and read a book.

In the past, Xiao Mo needed moonlight to read at night. If the moonlight was poor, he couldn't read.

But after becoming a Jieyuan, Xiao Mo no longer needed to do this.

Now, even if Ruxue didn't raise silkworms or catch wild chickens and rabbits, Xiao Mo wouldn't be short of money.

However, Ruxue still continued to raise silkworms and occasionally caught wild chickens and rabbits to sell, stating that every bit of money counted.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Mo put down the book in his hand.

He felt like he couldn't concentrate.

His mind was filled with Ruxue's image.

Xiao Mo really didn't expect Ruxue to say such a thing.

Although Ruxue had said "I like you" before.

Xiao Mo knew that this time was completely different.

Ruxue's affection for him was genuine romantic love.

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and before he could reply, Ruxue ran away.

"This girl," Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head, then gently blew out the candlelight.

It seemed he had to go to town tomorrow.

He couldn't keep her waiting too long.

The next morning, Xiao Mo woke up and walked into the courtyard.

Bai Ruxue was originally wiping the table. Upon seeing Xiao Mo, the woman, like a startled little bird, quickly retreated into the kitchen.

During breakfast, Bai Ruxue didn't say a word and didn't dare to look at Xiao Mo.

Whenever Xiao Mo got a little closer to Bai Ruxue, she would blush and quickly move away.

Xiao Qing felt that something must have happened between her sister and Big Brother Xiao. The atmosphere between them was inexplicably strange.

"No! I can't be like this anymore!"

In the afternoon, Bai Ruxue patted her cheeks.

She felt that she couldn't keep avoiding Xiao Mo, and in her heart, she also wanted to know Xiao Mo's answer.

However, Bai Ruxue was too embarrassed to ask directly.

So, in the afternoon, Bai Ruxue mustered up her courage to clean the courtyard, actively approaching Xiao Mo.

But Xiao Mo acted as if nothing had happened, as if yesterday's events never occurred. He just read his book.

Seeing Xiao Mo's calm demeanor, Bai Ruxue pouted her tender lips, feeling a little annoyed in her heart.

Bai Ruxue continued to walk back and forth around Xiao Mo, trying to attract his attention.

But Xiao Mo still didn't react. Bai Ruxue even suspected that Xiao Mo had lost his memory from last night.

"Stupid Xiao Mo, stupid Xiao Mo! I said that last night, and today you're acting like nothing happened. Even though I ran away last night, you can still reply to me now.

Stupid Xiao Mo! You clearly said you would marry me, but now you won't say a word! You big dummy, big dummy! I'm not talking to you anymore! You big dummy!"

In the room, Bai Ruxue hugged a pillow between her round, full legs, and then raised her small fists, punching it repeatedly as if she were punching Xiao Mo's chest.

"Sister, are you okay?" Xiao Qing walked into the room and saw her sister beating the pillow, feeling like the cotton stuffing was about to be beaten out.

"I'm fine!" Bai Ruxue pouted angrily, her chest heaving, "Is that stupid Xiao Mo still reading?"

"No," Xiao Qing shook her head, "Big Brother Xiao went out."

"Huh? He went out?" Bai Ruxue blinked, "Where did that stupid Xiao Mo go?"

"To Qingshan Town."

Xiao Qing said.

"Big Brother Xiao said he's going to get something and told you not to worry, he'll be back in a couple of days."
