Tang San's Words Were a Bit Too Dense

"Visiting relatives? But aren't you an orphan, Ye Qiu?"

Tang San looked at Ye Qiu strangely, a bit confused. He had known since childhood that Ye Qiu in Holy Soul Village lived by the charity of others.

Looking at the things in Ye Qiu's hands, Xiao Wu, who was swallowing her saliva, also raised her head to look at Ye Qiu in confusion. She had been in Holy Soul Village for quite some time and knew Ye Qiu's life story clearly. He was indeed an orphan.

"I said it's visiting relatives. How can we become relatives if we don't visit?" Ye Qiu pouted, his eyes fixed on Xiao Wu. He confessed honestly, smiling, "Let me tell you. Your brother already has a fiancée!"

"Fiancée?!"

Tang San was astonished. He looked at Ye Qiu, then at Xiao Wu, unsure whether to be happy or to celebrate. He asked without reason, "Then what about Xiao Wu?!"

"F-fiancée..." Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Xiao Wu, whose face still held some curiosity, suddenly froze, staring blankly at Ye Qiu.

Having been a person for over ten years, she naturally knew what the word "fiancée" meant.

Did it mean Ye Qiu had someone else outside?!

Did it mean he liked another Bunny and didn't want to eat her anymore?!

Hearing Tang San's question.

Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Wu's dazed, wronged, scared, and confused crimson eyes.

He felt a sense of satisfaction, but also a hint of guilt.

In front of Tang San, Ye Qiu smiled and sat on the bed, leaning towards Xiao Wu. He put his arm around her shoulders, looked at her sideways, gently squeezed her smooth shoulders, and softly asked:

"Xiao Wu. How do you want me to treat you?"

"I..."

Xiao Wu looked up at Ye Qiu. The joy of their reunion had long since vanished, her heart in a mess, not knowing what to do.

She pursed her red lips stubbornly, her large, round crimson eyes blinking. Holding back the tears that threatened to spill, she slowly turned her head away, no longer looking at Ye Qiu. She dejectedly lowered her head, nervously fiddling with the hem of her clothes with both hands.

Sad and upset, but she still managed to reply.

"I... I don't know either."

Xiao Wu's voice was low, filled with confusion and a hint of a sob. She had always been so obedient, willing to do anything for Ye Qiu, so why did he suddenly not want her anymore?

"Xiao Wu."

Tang San, who had been feeling a little smug, saw this scene. Hearing Xiao Wu's somewhat sad voice, his heart immediately clenched. He immediately confronted Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, how could you do this?! It's only been two months. Are you joking? Xiao Wu has been..."

"I am not joking." Ye Qiu shrugged, interrupting Tang San. He didn't want to be evasive. Whether it was to be lenient or to act with impunity, what he said was the absolute truth.

Moreover, he could see how Xiao Wu treated him, putting himself in her shoes. He didn't need others to elaborate. He knew better than Tang San how Xiao Wu felt about him.

Thinking of Xiao Wu's emotions, Ye Qiu didn't want to talk to Tang San any longer. After all, Xiao Wu seemed on the verge of tears. The priority was to comfort her first.

"Alright, San. I'll handle this myself. You can put your mind at ease." Ye Qiu stood up, patted Tang San's shoulder, and then ignored him, turning to open all the food he had bought.

Tang San frowned, watching Xiao Wu secretly look up at Ye Qiu. The slight joy in his heart vanished, and he felt uncomfortable. He couldn't help but comfort her, "Xiao Wu, don't be sad..."

Before Tang San could finish, Xiao Wu raised her tear-filled crimson eyes and dismissed his words. "San, Ye Qiu is right. This is between the two of us. You should go take care of your own business first."

"Xiao Wu. You..."

Tang San's expression stiffened. He looked at the two of them and could only sigh inwardly in resignation. Before leaving, he didn't forget to caution Ye Qiu, "Alright then, I need to report to Master Old Jack. Ye Qiu, you'd better speak properly. You can't hit her at a time like this!"

"I never hit her first."

Ye Qiu, with his back to Tang San, had a strange expression. When did Tang San become so meddlesome?

"That's good."

Tang San nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left the Seventh Dorm to go to Yu Xiaogang's small room to discuss life.

After dividing the food he brought back into two portions, Ye Qiu slowly turned around.

Sensing Ye Qiu's movement, Xiao Wu continued to lower her head, her expression mournful, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Watching Tang San's back disappear from sight.

Ye Qiu felt a sense of relief.

What he had done in the past two months was not something he could explain to Tang San.

Besides, Ye Qiu felt that Tang San's gaze towards him was a little different, and his words just now were a bit too close for comfort.

Putting these thoughts aside, Ye Qiu sat next to Xiao Wu again and handed her the food.

Xiao Wu just kept her head down, motionless, and her stomach occasionally rumbled.

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly, placed the food in front of Xiao Wu, and softly asked, "Little rabbit, do you still want to eat?"

"Yes, I'll eat." Xiao Wu's small body trembled. She quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, looked up slightly, and reached out to take the food. Her eyes were red, clearly from crying.

Ye Qiu's gaze flickered, and he fell silent. It was only after a moment that he realized Xiao Wu, at this moment, had none of her usual bossiness. She wasn't throwing a tantrum, just lowering her head and crying silently.

"Here, take your chopsticks and eat first."

Ye Qiu couldn't help but soften his voice again. As he handed her the chopsticks, he shifted his seat slightly, moving a little further away from Xiao Wu. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use his chopsticks properly.

Xiao Wu, who had just taken the chopsticks, noticed Ye Qiu's movement. Her face turned pale, her delicate body swayed, and she looked at Ye Qiu, who was eating heartily, with tear-filled eyes, full of confusion.

She slowly picked at a few grains of rice, stiffly bringing them to her mouth. Even though she tried to eat in small bites, Xiao Wu still felt something blocking her throat. The delicious food tasted bland and was difficult to swallow.

"Ye Qiu, why?"

Ye Qiu, his mouth stuffed with food, suddenly heard a clear voice, tinged with a slight tremor that made it sound a little hoarse.

"Hey, don't cry."

Ye Qiu turned around and looked at Xiao Wu, tears streaming down her face. He quickly put down his food and reached out to wipe them away.

Xiao Wu swallowed the rice in her mouth and slightly raised her head, letting Ye Qiu cup her face. Her eyes, looking at Ye Qiu, were about to brim with tears again.

"Ye Qiu, why don't you want me anymore?"

"When did I ever say I didn't want you?" Ye Qiu was utterly confused. He had been thrifty and economical since childhood; how could he possibly abandon Xiao Wu?

Wishing you all a happy life!
