I'll Knock Your Birdie Off

After delivering Qingxue to her home, Shen Hui did not leave in a hurry.

Qingxue lay on the sofa, her eyes wide as she looked at Shen Hui, who seemed curious about the place. "Why aren't you in a hurry to leave? My parents will be back soon."

Staring at Qingxue, Shen Hui revealed a mischievous smile and sat down directly next to her.

He slapped her on the buttocks where she was lying.

"Ah~ What are you doing?"

A seductive cry rang out, and Qingxue blushed and said coquettishly.

Shen Hui chuckled, "I'm a little hungry, I want to give you something to eat here."

Upon hearing Shen Hui's words, Qingxue immediately made a shushing gesture.

"What nonsense are you spouting here? What if my parents hear us when they get back? And here... this won't do."

"However... how about we stay at a hotel tonight?"

Qingxue was blushing at herself, but covering her face also made her seem a little expectant.

Shen Hui, however, became serious again. "Stop joking. I'm planning to ask your parents what this Mutual Aid Society they're going to is when they get back."

Have you heard of any powerful organizations involved?

When Qingxue realized that Shen Hui was teasing her, she immediately became resentful, wishing she could devour Shen Hui.

But she still answered Shen Hui's question, "No, you're not afraid that some strange cult will appear again, are you?"

"I don't think so. Although it's nighttime, the scale and noise are quite public; the higher-ups must have noticed."

Hearing Qingxue's understanding, Shen Hui nodded in agreement.

"Let's wait until they get back and ask them. Anyway, we already met downstairs, so let's treat it as our first proper introduction."

"Alright then, but before they get back..."

Qingxue wriggled and lay down on Shen Hui's lap, reaching out her small, delicate hand to hold the back of Shen Hui's head and press it down.

Shen Hui smiled knowingly, and the two shared a deep kiss.

More than half an hour later, Qing's father and mother returned from outside with excited smiles.

They were each carrying a bag or something, and they were even happier to see that Shen Hui was still there.

"Young man, have a seat, have a seat. Let me cut you some fruit."

Before Shen Hui could speak, Qing's mother immediately grabbed a few apples and headed towards the kitchen.

Qing's father sat down on the bench and asked, "Young man, I don't even know your name yet. I only heard from Qingxue that you're a very handsome guy, hahaha."

"Uncle, my name is Shen Hui. I'd like to ask, what did you bring back?"

Shen Hui cut straight to the point; it was rather awkward to stay there any longer.

Upon hearing Shen Hui ask about the things they had just placed on the table, he immediately replied happily:

"Those are eggs. We're going to a Mutual Aid Society event, and they're given to everyone."

At this moment, Qing's mother also came out carrying the peeled fruit and interjected:

"This is really great. This Mutual Aid Society is truly helping us. They said there will be other things to collect tomorrow. This is all a living allowance for Common in this area."

Although Qingxue, as the creator, also made a lot of money during this period.

However, their old habits of thrift remained, so Qing's parents were especially happy about these free gifts.

Qingxue couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else? Are you just here to receive the supplies?"

Qing's father immediately responded, "Yes, they're educating us about emergency response plans and how to deal with supernatural disasters."

"Oh, Qingxue, don't worry. Are you afraid we'll be fooled?"

Qingxue didn't give her father any face at all. "I'm just afraid you'll be scammed. Don't be greedy for such a small advantage. If such a disaster really happens in the city, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."

"However, those emergency response skills... are definitely worth learning; it's better to have some than none."

Seeing this, Shen Hui didn't find anything special, ate two pieces of apple, and said:

"Well, I'm sorry to have bothered you, Uncle and Aunt. It's getting late, so I'll head back now."

"Hey, it's still early, just past nine. Shen Hui, do you want a drink? Why don't you have a drink with your uncle? I'm happy today."

"You don't need to go back tonight. There are rooms available at home, so you can stay here with us, right, Qingxue?"

As he spoke, Qing's father looked at Qingxue.

Qingxue couldn't help but roll her eyes. Although she really wanted to keep Shen Hui, how could her father say something like that?

"What nonsense are you talking about? He probably drank too much at dinner tonight. Humph, Shen Hui, ignore him, I'll take you downstairs."

Qingxue took Shen Hui's hand and walked outside.

After seeing Shen Hui downstairs, Qingxue watched him prepare to Shen Hui and deliberately coughed twice.

"Cough cough~"

Shen Hui turned to look at her and asked in confusion, "Have you caught a cold? Let's go back."

However, Qingxue looked displeased and said, "Are you pretending not to understand?"

Shen Hui was completely baffled. "What? I really don't understand. Don't make me guess."

Seeing that Shen Hui had said that, Qingxue whispered, "Let's go to a hotel, we won't go back tonight..."

Shen Hui: "..."

I didn't expect she was still thinking about this, but since the other party has already said so...

Shen Hui then respectfully agreed.

"Walk!"

Upon hearing Shen Hui's agreement, Qingxue excitedly grabbed Shen Hui's hand.

"Where should we go to? I Frontrooms the Heavenly Spring Grand Hotel outside the lobby has a double room available, do you want to try it?"

Shen Hui nodded in agreement. "Okay, but you go first, I have some things to take care of, I'll come find you later."

"Oh no, you're trying to scam me?"

Qingxue became unhappy again.

Shen Hui helplessly stretched out his hand. "I was originally planning to go and take care of some things, but if you insist on taking me to a hotel, then I'll just have to make you wait."

"What is it? Can't you tell me?" Qingxue asked immediately.

Shen Hui thought for a moment, "It's related to the Giant God Cult, so it's best not to tell you, otherwise I'm afraid there might be danger."

Shen Hui added, "Whether it's for you or for me."

"But don't worry, I'll be back soon, no later than eleven o'clock."

Hearing Shen Hui say that, Qingxue nodded. "Okay, I'll go wait for you first. If you don't come, I'll have to shave your little bird off tomorrow!"

Hearing Qingxue's vicious threat, Shen Hui smiled disdainfully and then left, heading towards the underground black market.

I haven't been back to the underground black market for the past few days, and with such a big thing happening in the Laughing Moon Cult, and it's even related to the Giant God Cult.

Shen Hui was afraid of missing any useful information or plans that were being implemented.

I had originally planned to go and take a look after dinner tonight, after returning from the World Association headquarters.
