Wen Xiao’ai laughed and hopped onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck. Orıginal content can be found at ⓝovelFire.net
"It seems like I’ve gotten a little heavier, but it doesn’t look like you’ve been worrying about me slaying demonic beasts and getting hurt, skipping meals and all."
"Of course, I’ve been worried about you, but worry is one thing, eating is another, right? Otherwise, if I get too skinny from hunger, you’ll have to worry about me when you come back. You’d say that’s true, wouldn’t you?"
"Exactly right, you heartless thing, you always have an answer for everything," Ye Qi carried her, making his way back home.
On the way, he even picked some fruit for her to eat.
Wen Xiao’ai hummed a song on his back while munching on fruit.
"Xiao’ai, promise me you won’t let anyone else carry you on their back," Ye Qi suddenly spoke.
"Alright then, but it’s not about whether I look for someone or not, it’s about whether there is someone else willing to carry me."
"True, besides your Brother Ye Qi, who else would be willing to carry you?"
"I’m such a cute princess, how could nobody be willing to carry me. Humph, and don’t think it’s just me—Brother Ye Qi, you’re also not allowed to carry anyone else."
"Don’t worry, I won’t carry anyone but you."
"That’s more like it."
"Hold tight now, I’ve learned a new skill for maneuvering while slaying demon beasts this time, even more impressive than what I learned before."
Wen Xiao’ai immediately tightened her grip around his neck, "I’m ready."
"Cough cough... Xiao’ai, let go, you’re strangling me."
"Haha, that’ll teach you to show off to me. I’ll strangle you."
"You’re too mischievous."
Wen Xiao’ai woke up laughing, a bit disoriented as she opened her eyes, taking a few seconds to come to her senses before subconsciously calling out, "...Jun Moyan."
She turned over and, seeing that Jun Moyan wasn’t by her side, rubbed her eyes and sat up.
Hmm, I dreamed of Brother Ye Qi. I wonder if he’s returned from his studies yet.
Wen Xiao’ai stretched lazily, got out of bed, and headed straight for the study room.
Approaching the entrance of the study, she saw Jun Moyan typing away on the computer at his desk.
Yawning, Wen Xiao’ai walked in, "Jun Moyan."
Jun Moyan glanced up at her while his fingers continued to dance on the keyboard.
Wen Xiao’ai walked over and sat down directly in his arms, leaning into him.
His fingers slipped, and he hit the wrong key.
"What’s wrong, still not fully awake?"
"Really a lazy cat, able to sleep so much."
"I’m a demon, not a cat."
"Both are just as lazy."
"Humph~" Wen Xiao’ai huffed discontentedly.
Eyeing the pile of documents on the desk, Wen Xiao’ai reached for one, opened it up and looked, "What are these? Why are there always so many of these in the study room?"
"Work? Like for making money?"
"You do this every day, what do you need so much money for?"
"...To provide for you."
"Do I eat that much?" Wen Xiao’ai raised her small face to look at him.
"Mhm... you eat more than I do." Jun Moyan tried to suppress his laughter while watching her serious expression.
"Then I’ll eat less from now on, so you won’t have to work so hard. Or... I could go find that Bai Tang. I’ll gamble with him, win all his money, and then I can take care of you."
"Heh..." Jun Moyan couldn’t help laughing out loud, pinching her small face, "I was joking with you, why did you take it seriously?"
"You were the one who said it."
"So, do you believe everything I say?"
"Is it just me you trust, or are you this trusting with everyone?"
"Of course, I only trust you!"
"Because you are Jun Moyan ah."
