Zu Qi clearly heard the conversation between Weng Yuxiang and Xue Jue from inside the bedroom, and his whole face turned red like a monkey’s butt, and he wanted to disappear directly under the quilt.
When Xue Jue returned to the bed with Xue Wanwan, who was still crying, Zu Qi had already wrapped himself into a tight rice dumpling and lay motionless on the bed, pretending to sleep.
“Are you asleep?” Xue Jue asked.
Zu Qi was silent for a long time. He wanted to sleep directly, but when he heard Xue Wanwan’s heartbreaking cry, he couldn’t bear it anymore, so he opened the quilt covering his head, revealing a red face.
Under the light, Xue Jue stood in front of him with Xue Wanwan in his arms and a helpless face as he said somewhat at a loss: “Come and see him, I don’t know how to coax him.”
Zu Qi hugged Xue Wanwan, and before he could speak, he felt the cry of the little guy in his arms gradually weakening.
“It seems that he really likes you.” Xue Jue’s eyes were gentle and his face was so soft that it seemed as if a clear spring could overflow. He slowly sat down on the bed and said.
After all, it was a child he had given birth to after several months of pregnancy. Zu Qi still felt a twinge of pain in his heart when he saw Xue Wanwan crying so hard that tears and snot ran down his face.
He held Xue Wanwan in his arms while Xue Jue brought a warm wet towel and carefully wiped the marks on the little guy’s face clean, then patted his back gently and coaxed him for a while.
Perhaps he was tired from crying just now. Amidst Zu Qi’s soft coaxing, Xue Wanwan narrowed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Zu Qi looked at the little guy’s silly sleeping face in a funny way. He suddenly thought of something and looked up at Xue Jue. As a result, he suddenly bumped into Xue Jue’s eyes, which were staring at him for a moment.
“…”
Zu Qi, who finally regained his composure, immediately blushed again: “Don’t stare at me like that.”
However, he cleared his throat and then said: “I find you are quite good-looking.”
Zu Qi: “…” He really wanted to say, didn’t you know? Isn’t this something that is obvious to all?
However, the little shame he still had left prevented him from saying such narcissistic words.
After a moment, Xue Jue calmly changed the subject: “It stands to reason that newborn babies have no vision and will not start to recognize people until they are three or four months old. I don’t know where Wanwan comes from, his intuition is so accurate.”
Zu Qi said in horror: “In other words… he can’t see anything now?”
Xue Jue looked helpless and said after a moment: “It’s not that bad. It’s just like myopia in our lives. They can see people and things but it’s very blurry.”
Zu Qi was stunned, and at the same time he was surprised and blamed himself. He only learned the basic operations of raising children from Weng Yuxiang, but rarely took the initiative to understand these deeper levels of knowledge.
On the contrary, Xue Jue often took Xue Wanwan to the hospital for injections and examinations with Weng Yuxiang, and looked more like a qualified father.
Regarding Zu Qi’s unexpected silence, Xue Jue seemed to guess what he was thinking. He let out an almost inaudible sigh and reached out to touch Zu Qi’s freshly dried hair.
The fluffy hair felt very good to the touch, like touching a well-behaved and fluffy rabbit. Xue Jue suddenly felt reluctant to let go.
“Go to bed early, you still have things to do tomorrow morning.” Xue Jue said.
Zu Qi nodded, gently placed Xue Wanwan in the middle of the bed, and said good night to Xue Jue.
After turning off the lights, the entire bedroom fell into darkness. Zu Qi listened to Xue Jue’s even breathing in the air. For a moment, his whole body was filled with an incredible feeling, as if he was dreaming.
He and Xue Jue were actually together…
When Zu Qi first traveled to this world, he couldn’t even dare to think about it.
With such a mood, Zu Qi suffered from insomnia.
Xue Wanwan woke up several times during the night, so hungry that he started crying with his mouth open. Before Zu Qi could make any move, Xue Jue got out of bed, skillfully picked up Xue Wanwan, coaxed him, and poured milk powder to feed him. Zu Qi wanted to help but was stopped by Xue Jue.
After staying up until dawn, Zu Qi finally felt a little sleepy, but Xue Jue got up at this time, washed and dressed, and handed Xue Wanwan, who was still sleeping, to Weng Yuxiang, who came to pick him up.
Zu Qi vaguely listened to Xue Jue’s fussy voice while putting on clothes. His dull brain was running slowly. He hesitated whether to get up and send Xue Jue to the door.
After all, they had just confirmed their relationship.
But would this seem too proactive? It seemed that he was eager to build a relationship with Xue Jue…
Zu Qi thought about it and couldn’t make up his mind.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the bed behind him sinking due to gravity.
Zu Qi was frightened and was about to look back to see what was going on, but then his vision went dark, and then two thin warm lips landed on his cheek.
“…” Zu Qi’s face suddenly turned red, as if there were flames burning and jumping on it.
Xue Jue stopped kissing him lightly and quickly increased the distance between him and Zu Qi. He lowered his eyes and saw the blush on Zu Qi’s face spreading to his ears and couldn’t help laughing: “Good morning kiss.”
Zu Qi’s eyes were wandering around. He didn’t know what to say, so he held it in for a long time before letting out a low voice.
Xue Jue put his hands on both sides of Zu Qi and looked down at him intently. He couldn’t hide the smile on his lips: “Don’t you want to express anything?”
“…What should I express?” Zu Qi muttered, lacking confidence.
“For example…” Xue Jue squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking seriously for a while, “Kissing back or something.”
“…” Zu Qi also said very seriously, “I haven’t washed up yet, can you continue the kiss?”
Xue Jue’s expression remained unchanged: “I don’t mind.”
Zu Qi’s mouth twitched a few times, and he suddenly felt that half of Xue Jue’s tall image in his heart had collapsed.
“But I mind.” Zu Qi said, ruthlessly pushing away the man who was half pressing on him, then he got out of bed, picked up the pajamas thrown at the foot of the bed, and slipped into the bathroom with a bang.
Unfortunately, in his hurry, he forgot to lock the bathroom door. In the middle of washing up, Xue Jue opened the door and squeezed in openly, catching the prey and gnawing at it.
….
At nine o’clock in the morning, Zu Qi took the Xue family’s car to the place he had agreed with Heng Jingchen.
After waiting for about half an hour, the well-armed Heng Jingchen secretly drove a low-key black car in front of Zu Qi and waved at him like a thief.
Zu Qi was wearing a loose long down jacket, and a thick khaki scarf was wrapped twice around his neck, covering the lower half of his face, revealing only his pair of big, bright eyes.
On Zu Qi’s whole face, his eyes were the biggest bonus. They were beautiful and flexible, and seemed as if they could talk. At first glance, they looked very innocent.
Heng Jingchen watched from a distance as Zu Qi wrapped in a dark coat, ran to the front of the car like a lively rabbit, opening the passenger door and sitting down.
And he couldn’t help but sigh, just in terms of appearance, Zu Qi was really a genuine little fresh meat, and one of the favorite styles of current students and girls. He started from such a high place, but later he experienced too many messy things.
What a shame.
After Zu Qi got into the car and fastened his seat belt, Heng Jingchen quickly stopped his expression of regret, glanced at the other party’s scarf that was still tightly wrapped, and said with a smile: “Is it still cold? I’ll turn the heater on full.
“No, no.” Zu Qi quickly waved his hand, “I’ll get warm after sitting for a while.”
Heng Jingchen said while starting the car, “Don’t you feel uncomfortable wearing a scarf all the time?”
His face instantly turned red, he put his hands neatly on his knees and said a little unspeakably: “It’s not uncomfortable.”
Heng Jingchen was very surprised, but seeing Zu Qi’s insistence, it was hard to say anything else, so he changed the topic.
The suburb where Heng Jingchen’s classmate lived was more than an hour’s drive from the city. The two of them chatted along the way and arrived at their destination not long after.
Before coming here, Zu Qi had heard Heng Jingchen talk about the situation of this land, saying that the surrounding area had not been developed and was either an abandoned field or other breeding farm. Anyway, the environment was not very good.
If Zu Qi could successfully acquire the land, he may have to hire some people to clean it.
However, the transportation from that place to the city was relatively convenient, and there were direct buses. If Zu Qi wanted to recruit workers for daily planting and maintenance of the orchards in the future, it would be very convenient for those workers to enter and exit the city.
Unfortunately, this was not within the scope of Zu Qi’s consideration for the time being. He needed to find time to determine whether the auspicious three treasures could come to reality from space, and then make new plans.
Of course, these words could not be told to Heng Jingchen. Zu Qi could only listen to Heng Jingchen’s introduction silently, nodding from time to time.
After getting off the car, the two walked along a winding path for more than 20 minutes before they saw a rather dilapidated large iron gate. On both sides of the iron gate were high brick and cement walls extending back.
Heng Jingchen was right. This place could indeed be called deserted. As far as the eye could see, there was abandoned farmland covered with green weeds. Even the breeding farms next to it were far away from each other.
Although this kind of place was a bit bad in Heng Jingchen’s eyes, it was just too good for Zu Qi. The apples he sold were of unknown origin. If he wanted to have a good cover, he must find a very desolate place as a planting base.
So far, Zu Qi was very satisfied with this place.
Heng Jingchen took off his mask, walked to the edge and called his classmates, and came back after a while and opened the big iron door.
The door was not locked.
“My classmate hasn’t gotten up yet, let’s go in by ourselves.” Heng Jingchen said with some embarrassment, “He asked us to walk along this road to the right. If we see a small house, it is his dormitory.”
“Okay.” Zu Qi nodded, just in time to walk slowly and observe the terrain and environment of the farm.
Heng Jingchen said that when there was a chicken plague a while ago, his classmate took out all the livestock in the farm and sold it, leaving only an empty shed and a fruit grove planted when he was bored.
Zu Qi originally wanted to see the fruit grove, but Heng Jingchen couldn’t find the direction, so the two of them had to continue walking to the right.
Heng Jingchen had obviously come to this place for the first time. He took Zu Qi and got lost three or four times along the way. After several twists and turns, Heng Jingchen suddenly lost his temper and called his classmate to pick him up. He and Zu Qi stood motionless and waited.
In less than five minutes, a tall and carefree figure slowly appeared in Zu Qi’s sight.
