As their feelings deepened...
Xiao Yan suddenly leaned toward the girl before him.
The distance between them shrank to less than half a finger's width, and her quickened breathing and unique fragrance washed over him.
With the young man she longed for right before her eyes, Xiao Xun'er's heart could barely contain itself.
She lightly bit her pink lip and half closed her beautiful eyes, her small hands clutching the bedding tightly in her nervousness.
Just as she thought something was about to happen, Brother Xiao Yan reached out with his sleeve and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"You silly girl, you don't even know to wipe your mouth after eating. You're really a child who never grows up."
Her anticipation had soared, only for it to turn out he was doing this. Xiao Xun'er couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Still, the care in his words warmed her heart.
Sticking out the tip of her tongue, she said mischievously, "Hehe, Xun'er is a child. Brother Xiao Yan will look after me anyway."
Xiao Yan rubbed her little head. With such an innocent, carefree disposition, it was hard to connect her with those transmigrators.
"By the way, Xun'er, I have a question for you. You have to answer me honestly."
"Mm-hmm, Brother Xiao Yan, go ahead."
"What was the thing you fed me just now called?"
"Weilong Spicy Strips."
Even though he already knew the answer, Xiao Yan's heart still gave a tremor.
Steadying himself, he continued, "Where did you get them?"
"Ah, well..." Xiao Xun'er began to stammer, at a loss for how to answer.
She couldn't simply say Ling Ying had given them to her. After all, he was her hidden guard, and his identity absolutely could not be exposed.
After thinking for quite a while, she finally said, "Xun'er just happened to come across them. Why? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing." Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Xiao Yan could only let it go.
Just then, he remembered the trick he had used on Xiao Mei earlier.
"Xun'er, do you know what sanitary pads are?"
"Sanitary pads? Are those something to eat too?"
Xiao Xun'er's eyes were utterly clear as she spoke, without the slightest hint of a lie.
"Hahaha, it's nothing. I've just been dreaming lately, and those words keep echoing in my head in the dreams. If you've never heard of them, forget it."
Perhaps even Xiao Yan hadn't imagined that she would quietly commit such an offhand remark to memory.
By the time he saw the girl off, it was nearly midnight.
Xiao Yan sat alone on his bed, going over his thoughts again and again.
His mind was a muddled mess until a remark from Yao Lao finally pointed him in a direction.
"Little Yanzi, that little sweetheart of yours is no ordinary girl. She even has a Dou Huang expert hidden at her side."
A Dou Huang expert?
Ling Ying?
Right, how could I have forgotten him!
If Xiao Xun'er isn't a transmigrator, perhaps Ling Ying, who's at her side, is!
His thoughts suddenly opened up, but at the same time, Xiao Yan couldn't help growing worried.
Going by the usual fanfiction, what those transmigrators loved doing most was stealing the protagonist's women.
If Ling Ying really was a transmigrator, he might well make a move on Xiao Xun'er.
I have to eliminate this danger before it happens!
In the rear courtyard, inside Xiao Xun'er's room.
"Elder Ling, do you know what sanitary pads means?"
