Qin Xue raised her brows and smiled, ‘This time he won’t come out so soon,’ she thought.
Indeed, Qin Xue purposely dressed this way- -all to gain access to the space dimension.
Glancing towards the direction of the restroom, Qin Xue walked into the kitchen, fetched the chicken soup, and brought it into the space dimension.
As soon she entered, Xue Ling appeared before her.
“Master, you’re here. What food did you bring me? It smells delicious.” Xue Ling licked his lips, vaguely human-like.
But wasn’t Xue Ling human-like already?
“Yes, I’ve brought you chicken soup. Go ahead, drink up.” Qin Xue placed the soup in the same bowl Xue Ling had used to eat the bamboo rat.
“Drink this while I plant some herbs,” Qin Xue told Xue Ling, leaving him to enjoy the soup alone. She then got to work planting herbs, and also seeds from the oranges she’d saved from earlier.
It was late in the day before she finished. Qin Xue smiled with satisfaction, her long-known task finally complete.
“Oh no, I lost track of time! How long has it passed? What if Chu Molin comes out and can’t find me?” Qin Xue thought in panic.
How would she explain her sudden absence and reappearance? She must hurry and exit the space dimension.
“Xue Ling, I have to go now. You behave and keep practicing. When you can leave this space, I’ll take you out to play,” Qin Xue said quickly, then vanished from the space dimension.
Before Xue Ling could reply, Qin Xue was gone. Xue Ling stared blankly at the space where Qin Xue had been, disappointed. He had wanted to tell her for the longest time that he wished to eat meat, not just soup.
Initially, he didn’t want to bother her while she was busy, but no sooner did she finish, she vanished after leaving him a brief message.
‘Ah, I want to eat meat, I must eat meat! Roasted, stewed, I long for delicious meat,’ Xue Ling wailed inwardly, a plea Qin Xue will never know.
Upon exiting the dimension, Qin Xue didn’t see Chu Molin. It appears the door hadn’t been opened. She sighed in relief. How would she have explained her sudden disappearance otherwise?
Rushing, Qin Xue found a more modest nightgown and changed into it swiftly. She didn’t dare to dress so revealingly amid a wolf in human clothing.
After changing, Qin Xue picked up her medical book and began reading on the bed.
Qin Xue thought Chu Molin must have returned to his room, thus she concentrated on her reading without distractions.
Meanwhile, Chu Molin washed away the nosebleed he had when he stormed into the bathroom.
Gazing at his reflection in the mirror, his face covered in droplets of water, Chu Molin’s icy eyes flashed a hint of helplessness. Where had his self-control gone? When had he been so embarrassed?
Chu Molin washed his face, turned on the tap, and took a cold shower. However, the heat within his body refused to dissipate.
Thinking of that woman, anger gnawed at him. Did she think he wouldn’t dare touch her? Just wait until she had fully accepted him, then where would she run?
With no other choice, Chu Molin took matters into his own hands to alleviate his physical needs.
In his mind, Chu Molin held Qin Xue accountable for his condition.
When Chu Molin finished his bath and came out, he found the door to his room closed. Surely, that woman hasn’t locked him out?
Chu Molin walked over and tried the doorknob. To his surprise, it was unlocked. ‘At least she had the decency not to lock me out,’ he mused.
Upon entering the room, he saw the woman already changed into a different outfit, quietly reading a book in bed.
Chu Molin arched an eyebrow. ‘Is she afraid I might do something to her?’ he wondered..
