Back to Normal

“Ngh…”

Lu Qiancha was instantly so embarrassed and annoyed that the fur on her ears stood on end.

What did she mean, the wind was too strong? She clearly just wanted to bully her on purpose!

Like a little beast whose tail had been stepped on, Lu Qiancha lunged into Xun Xue’s arms.

She rubbed her head vigorously against Xun Xue’s soft lapel and complained in a muffled voice, “Mother is a baddie. You clearly heard me.”

“Oh my, oh my. I wonder which little wolf was clamoring just a few months ago about wanting to sleep separately from Mama.”

A curve appeared at the corner of Xun Xue’s mouth as she leaned down, her palm slowly stroking Lu Qiancha from top to bottom.

“Ngh-mi…”

Lu Qiancha narrowed her eyes and let out a comfortable sigh.

Her two small paws extremely skillfully hooked around Xun Xue’s neck, and her head leaned softly against the hollow of Xun Xue’s shoulder.

She completely transformed into a soft, hanging pet, clinging to Xun Xue.

Refusing to speak, she acted shamelessly.

“Heh…”

Xun Xue chuckled lightly, lifted Lu Qiancha up, closed the door, and returned to the bed.

Just as she returned to the soft couch holding Lu Qiancha, the Jade Signet on the table suddenly buzzed and flashed rapidly, emitting a brilliant light.

Clearly, that old friend on the other end, [Zi Hua], had grown impatient after seeing her not respond for a long time.

Xun Xue: [Not chatting with you anymore. I’m going to sleep with my daughter.]

Zi Hua: [?]

Zi Hua: [Daughter?]

Zi Hua: [No, wait a minute? You got married?]

The Jade Signet kept ringing.

Xun Xue flicked her finger, and a stream of gentle immortal energy precisely swept up the noisy Jade Signet, tossing it straight into the depths of a seldom-used storage pouch.

Then, she hugged her fragrant and soft daughter and went to sleep.

For the next few days while the “Spring” entangled her, Lu Qiancha practically transformed into an exclusive pendant on Xun Xue’s body.

Three meals a day, at all times, she was held in Xun Xue’s arms and fed.

When going in and out, she stuck close to Xun Xue’s side, her little paw either firmly holding Xun Xue’s hand or tightly clutching the corner of Xun Xue’s clothes.

When night fell, she was even more firmly embedded in Xun Xue’s warm and soft embrace, never leaving for a moment.

Even the cotton cloths that needed regular changing were all handled by Xun Xue personally.

There was no other reason; if she moved even a little bit away from Xun Xue, her little tummy would start acting up and hurting.

It wasn’t until dawn broke on the third day that Lu Qiancha finally recovered her energy and instantly resurrected with full health.

She became radiant again, walking with a spring in her step.

However, if one were to ask who the biggest beneficiary of Lu Qiancha’s recovery was, it would undoubtedly be Gan Tang.

For the past two days, no matter what Gan Tang said to Lu Qiancha, she would receive a look of disdain from the little loli.

And sometimes, when Gan Tang wanted to pet Lu Qiancha, before she could even touch her, she would be hit by a storm of ruthless “kitty punches.”

Now, Gan Tang had several scratch marks from Lu Qiancha on both her face and hands.

As a result, for the past two days, Gan Tang could only shrink away several zhang, eagerly tracing her senior brother’s cute outline with her eyes.

But today, Gan Tang keenly caught that her senior brother’s cheeks were rosy and her eyes were clear, so she waved a greeting from a distance: “Good morning, Senior Brother.”

“…Good morning, Junior Sister.”

Lu Qiancha paused slightly and nodded.

Wait until Gan Tang approached with small, apprehensive steps.

Lu Qiancha’s clear blue eyes suddenly fixed on Gan Tang’s face, precisely locking onto the three small scratch marks on her left cheek near the cheekbone, which had faded to light pink but were still clearly visible.

“…”

Her eyes flickered, carrying a trace of imperceptible hesitation…

“…Does this still hurt?”

Lu Qiancha raised the tip of her paw and pointed at the scratch, her voice tinged with a bit of shyness and guilt.

“Ah…”

Gan Tang was stunned by the question, then grinned broadly and waved her hands repeatedly: “It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt! I haven’t felt it for a long time!”

“I’m sorry…”

Lu Qiancha lowered her little head, her voice clearly and sincerely conveying her apology. “The past few days, I was irritable and lost control of my behavior. I… I went too far…”

“Oh, Senior Brother, it doesn’t matter.” Gan Tang, hearing this, actually became flustered and raised her voice: “It’s just a few tiny marks. It was my own fault for having itchy hands first.”

Lu Qiancha pursed her lips and was silent for a moment.

Then, contrary to Gan Tang’s expectations, Lu Qiancha took the initiative to step forward, leaning her small body against Gan Tang.

She tilted her little face up, her blue eyes looking directly at Gan Tang, her voice carrying a frankness like burning one’s boats: “As compensation…”

“…Today…”

She paused, as if making up her mind: “If you want to pet, then pet.”

“I… won’t resist.”

“Eh??”

Gan Tang froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, her pink eyes instantly widening into circles.

Her heart was filled with disbelief and huge surprise.

Her voice stammered from excitement: “…Senior Brother, are you serious?”

“Mm, serious.” Lu Qiancha nodded affirmatively.

“Then…”

Before Gan Tang could get the words out, Lu Qiancha interrupted her a step ahead: “If you ask again, I won’t let you pet me!”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qiancha’s little face uncontrollably turned red with a “swish.”

She quickly turned her head away, her two little paws crossing and fidgeting irritably.

“I-I-I won’t ask!”

Gan Tang instantly raised her hands in surrender, shut her mouth tight, and nodded her head like she was pounding garlic.

Then, she took a deep breath.

With a nervousness bordering on piety.

Gan Tang placed her warm palm on top of Lu Qiancha’s head, onto that deep blue, soft fur.

Lu Qiancha didn’t dodge, nor did she move; on the contrary, she cooperated extremely well, actively nuzzling her little head towards Gan Tang’s palm.

Not only that.

Her two small paws instinctively clutched the hem of Gan Tang’s clothes at her waist, as if seeking support.

Lu Qiancha had experience; she leaned in advance to prevent herself from going soft all over and being unable to stand steadily when Gan Tang petted her later.

Gan Tang felt this tacit permission.

Her heart thumped with excitement.

Her fingertips moved slightly, carefully combing through the silky hair a couple of times.

She couldn’t resist using the pads of her fingers to pinch the tips of those deep blue, slightly twitching little wolf ears that were right in front of her.

Then, Gan Tang slowly withdrew her hand and, very coyly, made a small request: “Senior Brother… can I do… that with you?”

“No.”

Lu Qiancha looked at Gan Tang expressionlessly.

“Eh, just once… please, Senior Brother.”

Gan Tang looked at Lu Qiancha eagerly, looking pitiful.

“No!”

Lu Qiancha slapped Gan Tang’s knee with her paw and said, wishing iron could turn into steel, “If you aren’t shouting about being hungry, you’re thinking about lewd things. What decent person thinks about this every day?!”

“Wuu… Senior Brother, just let loose once.”

Gan Tang said aggrievedly.

“Can this kind of thing increase one’s strength?”

Lu Qiancha glared at Gan Tang and asked.

“N-No…”

Gan Tang spoke softly.

“Then can this kind of thing fill your stomach?”

“N-No…”

Gan Tang’s tone grew weaker and weaker.

“It can neither increase strength nor fill the stomach. Just for the sake of indulging in pleasure, isn’t that abandoning the foundation of our cultivation? Also…”

Lu Qiancha nagged and rambled for quite a while, nagging Gan Tang until her face turned bitter.

“Senior Brother, stop, stop, stop!”

Seeing that Lu Qiancha intended to continue, Gan Tang hurriedly interrupted, “I know I was wrong, I surrender. Don’t recite anymore, don’t recite anymore.”
