"Visiting relatives? But Ye Qiu, aren't you an orphan?"
Tang San looked at Ye Qiu strangely, feeling a bit confused. He had known since childhood that Ye Qiu in Holy Spirit Village relied on everyone's charity to get by.
Xiao Wu, who was standing nearby, watching the things in Ye Qiu's hands and swallowing, also raised her head in confusion to look at Ye Qiu.
She had also spent a good amount of time in Holy Spirit Village and knew everything about Ye Qiu from childhood to now, confirming he was indeed an orphan.
"I already said I'm visiting relatives. How can I visit without relatives?" Ye Qiu pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on Xiao Wu, and confessed honestly, saying with a smile, "Let me tell you guys... your brother now has a fiancée!"
"A fiancée?!"
Tang San was shocked.
Looking at Ye Qiu, then glancing at Xiao Wu, he didn't know whether to be happy or celebrate, and inexplicably asked, "What about Xiao Wu?!"
"Fian... fiancée?" Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Xiao Wu, who still had some curiosity on her face, immediately froze, staring blankly at Ye Qiu.
Having been a human for over ten years, she naturally knew what the three words "fiancée" meant.
Did it mean Ye Qiu had someone outside?!
Did it mean he had fallen for another bunny, and didn't want to eat her anymore?!
Hearing Tang San's question.
Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Wu's dazed, wronged, scared, and confused crimson eyes.
He felt a sense of smugness, but also a little guilt.
In front of Tang San, Ye Qiu smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning towards Xiao Wu, putting his arm around her shoulder, turning his face to look at her, gently pinching Xiao Wu's round shoulder, and softly asked:
"Xiao Wu... How do you want me to treat you?"
"I..."
Xiao Wu raised her eyes to look at Ye Qiu in front of her. The joy of their recent reunion had long since vanished, her heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know what to do.
She pursed her red lips somewhat stubbornly, blinked her round, large crimson eyes, holding back the tears that seemed about to overflow, slowly turned her head away, no longer looking at Ye Qiu, lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, and nervously clutched the corner of her clothes with both hands.
Sad and upset, but she didn't forget to give an answer.
"I... I don't know either."
Xiao Wu's voice was low, filled with confusion and a hint of tears.
She was clearly so obedient and willing to do anything for Ye Qiu, so why did he suddenly not want her anymore?
"Xiao Wu..."
Tang San, who was originally a little pleased, watched this scene, and after hearing Xiao Wu's somewhat sad voice, his heart immediately tightened. He immediately spoke accusingly towards Ye Qiu: "Ye Qiu, how could you do this?! It's only been two months... Are you kidding? Xiao Wu has been so good to you during this time..."
"I'm not kidding at all." Ye Qiu shrugged, interrupting Tang San. He didn't want to hide anything. Whether it was being honest or having nothing to fear, what he said was the absolute truth.
Moreover, how Xiao Wu felt about him, he would see for himself, putting himself in her shoes. He didn't need others to elaborate too much; he knew better than Tang San how Xiao Wu felt about him.
Considering Xiao Wu's emotions, Ye Qiu didn't want to say anything more to Tang San. After all, Xiao Wu seemed about to cry, and the top priority was to comfort her first.
"Alright, Little San, I'll handle this myself. Just put your mind at ease." Ye Qiu stood up, patted Tang San's shoulder, then ignored him and turned back to open up all the food he had bought.
Tang San frowned, watching Xiao Wu raise her head to secretly look at Ye Qiu. The slight joy in his heart vanished, and he felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but comfort her, "Xiao Wu, don't be sad..."
Before Tang San could finish speaking, Xiao Wu raised her tear-filled crimson eyes and cut him off.
"Little San, Ye Qiu is right... This is between the two of us. You should go do your own things first."
"Xiao Wu... you..."
Tang San's face stiffened slightly. Looking at the two people in front of him, he could only sigh helplessly in his heart. Before leaving, he didn't forget to look out for Xiao Wu.
"Alright then. I should also go report to the teacher. Ye Qiu... you'd better speak properly. You absolutely cannot hit people at a time like this!"
"I never hit her first."
Ye Qiu had his back to Tang San, his expression somewhat odd. When did Tang San become so nosy?
"That's good."
Tang San nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left dormitory seven, heading to Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's small room to discuss life.
After dividing the food he brought back into two portions, Ye Qiu slowly turned around.
Xiao Wu noticed Ye Qiu turning around, but continued to keep her head down, her expression sad, tears glistening in her eyes.
Watching Tang San's back disappear from sight...
Ye Qiu immediately felt relieved.
What he had been doing these past two months, how could he tell Tang San about it?
Also, Ye Qiu always felt that guy Tang San was looking at him a bit differently, and his words just now were really a bit too much.
Putting these thoughts aside, Ye Qiu sat back down next to Xiao Wu and handed her the food in his hand.
Xiao Wu just kept her head down, not moving, her stomach occasionally rumbling a little.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly, placed the food in front of Xiao Wu, and softly asked, "Little bunny, still eating?"
"Eat... I'll eat..." Xiao Wu's small body trembled. She quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, raised her head slightly, reached out and took the food. Her eyes were red-rimmed, clearly having shed tears.
Ye Qiu's eyes flickered, and he was somewhat silent. It was only now that he realized Xiao Wu at this moment didn't have her usual domineering manner. She wasn't making a fuss; she was just quietly crying with her head down.
"Here, take the chopsticks and eat first."
Ye Qiu couldn't help but soften his voice again as he handed over the chopsticks.
He moved his seat slightly, a tiny bit further from Xiao Wu, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use his chopsticks properly.
Xiao Wu, who had just taken the chopsticks, noticed Ye Qiu's movement. Her face turned pale, her delicate body trembled, and she looked at Ye Qiu, who was eating heartily, with tear-filled eyes and a face full of confusion.
Slowly picking up a few grains of rice, she stiffly brought them to her mouth. Even though she tried to take small bites, Xiao Wu still felt like something was stuck in her throat. The rich food tasted somewhat bland and was difficult to swallow.
"Ye... Ye Qiu~ Why?"
Ye Qiu, whose mouth was full of food, suddenly heard a clear voice, with a slight tremor, which sounded a little hoarse.
"Hey, don't cry."
Ye Qiu turned his head, looked at Xiao Wu with clear tears on her face, quickly put down the food in his hand, and raised his hand to wipe them away for her.
Xiao Wu swallowed the few grains of rice in her mouth, raised her head slightly, letting Ye Qiu cup her face. Looking into Ye Qiu's eyes, the tears were about to overflow again.
"Ye Qiu, why don't you want me anymore?"
"When did I ever say I don't want you?" Ye Qiu was completely confused. He had possessed the virtue of diligence and frugality since childhood. How could he possibly not want Xiao Wu?
