Chapter 38: Love, You’ve Come ah
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi woke up rather early the next day.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi tilted her head up to look at the still asleep Song Liang Zhuo, chewed her lips, and smiled. No matter how painful it was last night, she just liked being hugged to sleep. She felt it was very, very warm. Even warmer than hugging Ha Pi, Xiao Qi thought giggling.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi thought about what happened last night and glanced at Song Liang Zhuo again while blushing. She sneakily lifted open the blanket to look inside.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
There was only a little bit of light inside the room. Xiao Qi stuck her head inside the blankets and her line of sight became even more indistinct. Xiao Qi’s line of sight moved from Song Liang Zhuo’s naked chest downwards, curiously and nervously traveling downward.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Ah, can’t see it! Xiao Qi’s stretched out her arm to prop up the blanket, annoyed. Just as her eyes were able to make out a lump of shadow she was pulled into a warm embrace by an arm.

“You’ve woken up?” A voice slightly hoarse and full of magnetic attraction.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi pursed her lips and rubbed her piping hot ears, nodding repeatedly. Xiao Qi flipped over and laid on the bed, tilting her head to look at Song Liang Zhuo who had his eyes closed.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Official Song, what does not raising mean?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Alas, it’s so early in the morning!
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo sighed and opened his eyes. Seeing Xiao Qi’s white arms pressed below her chin he closed his eyes again.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“I want to know, my mom and my sister both know but they won’t tell me.” Xiao Qi frowned, perplexed.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo’s face had a slight embarrassed blush. After thinking about it, he turned his body sideways and said: “It’s just, there. If it can’t raise, no way to consummate marriage.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi blinked and then suddenly laughed: “There ah, haha. Official Song, then you’re perfectly fine ah.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
That’s right ah, not only perfectly fine, but very very fine. However, talking about this sort of thing with a seventeen year old lady, how come it just feels like he’s beguiling an ignorant and innocent young lady?
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo hadn’t even finished sighing when Xiao Qi already rolled over and laid half on top of him, saying with a grin: “Then when I go back I’ll tell Mom you don’t have that illness.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo’s brows knitted: “You can’t say this sort of things to others.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Why?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“This is something only a pair of husband and wife can talk about.” Actually, even husbands and wives don’t discuss this, Song Liang Zhuo sighed mournfully.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Oh.” Xiao Qi rubbed her chin against Song Liang Zhuo’s chest and smiled: “Then I won’t tell her.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo’s entire body turned rigid due to Xiao Qi’s rub, yet Xiao Qi still ignorantly traced Song Liang Zhuo’s chest, saying with a red face: “Men and women aren’t the same. Haha, it’s so weird.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo held Xiao Qi’s hand and warmly asked: “Are you not getting up?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi stared at Song Liang Zhuo and smoothed her lips as she shook her head. Seeing Song Liang Zhuo was about to get up she hurriedly struggled free and grabbed him with a hug. Giggling ‘heehee’ she said: “Don’t run away. Official Song never talked properly with me before.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo sighed: “Well, what do you want to talk about?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi’s eyes took a roll, then she leaned next to Song Liang Zhuo’s ear and whispered: “Are Lu Liu and Big Brother Lu together now?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Why are you talking like this?”Song Liang Zhuo knitted his brows.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi made a ‘shush’ sound and lowered her voice: “Don’t let Lu Liu hear, she’ll probably feel embarrassed.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo was speechless.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi paused for a while, before gloomily asking: “Official Song, will Big Brother Lu be able to recover completely from that illness? Lu Liu said that every year there was a possibility of a recurring fever.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo was silent for a long while. Stroking Xiao Qi’s cheek he said: “He will. There’s plenty of famous doctors in the world.  Besides, people will also occasionally meet miracles. Perhaps after a nap, that illness would be completely cured.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi nodded, twisting into a ball inside Song Liang Zhuo’s arms. She stretched, then lifted her eyes stare at Song Liang Zhuo: “Official Song, in the future what should I call you?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“What does Xiao Qi want to call me?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“(Lord) Husband?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo lifted his eyebrows.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Husband (Official)?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo tensed his lips.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Husband(master of household)?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
The corners of Song Liang Zhuo’s lips twitched.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Aah, they all sound so strange.” Xiao Qi bit her thumb, a bit troubled.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Official Song, my Mom calls my Dad Fat Old Man. But my Second Sister calls Second Brother-in-Law Fei ge. She even called him Darling Fei before, blergh!” Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue, then continued: “I remember when I was little my Mom called my Dad Damned Old Man and even called him Stingy Chicken for a time. Later, my dad got fat and my mom called him Big Barrel, and now she calls him Fat Old Man.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi blinked her eyes and asked: “Then can I call you Skinny Official?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
This is just teasing, Song Liang Zhuo was certain, but seeing Xiao Qi’s deadpan face, it didn’t seem so.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Skinny gege?” Xiao Qi sweetly called.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo trembled for a moment, then grinned and said: “Let’s just go with Official Song.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Oh, I also think that Official Song sounds better.” Xiao Qi nodded.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
This line of thought, seriously. It’s like a heavenly steed soaring across the skies, one unconstrained thought after another, Song Liang Zhuo thought inside.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Official Song, will you marry other people?” Xiao Qi turned to ask.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“I won’t!”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi twisted in another circle. Hugging Song Liang Zhuo’s waist she rubbed her chin against it.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Even if you marry someone else, I’m not scared. If you marry then I’ll divorce you, haha.” Xiao Qi recalled the divorce paper and couldn’t help but feel giddy.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Xiao Qi’s guts sure have grown big ah!”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi glanced at Song Liang Zhuo and giggled with ‘heehee’s: “People that hit people are not good people. Official Song is a good person ah.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
This contradiction in her words actually made Song Liang Zhuo feel guilt in his heart.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi curled her legs habitually and even slowly slid back and forth along Song Liang Zhuo’s leg.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
It’s so smooth and slippery, Xiao Qi thought as she rubbed her leg.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi flipped over to face Song Liang Zhuo, her two legs wanted to curl into a ball but her knee actually ran into a very hot area. She could feel that that thing, was precisely the thing that caused her to be in so much pain for so long last night.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi’s mouth flattened. Knitted her brows as she looked at Song Liang Zhuo, she pitifully spoke: “I’ll hurt. You, you’ve raised, haven’t you?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo’s face flushed completely red. He quickly moved his body away as if he got scalded and stretched out his hand to grab the gown. When he got off the bed he had already put on his clothes, causing Xiao Qi who was staring fixedly at him to only be able to see a glance of his naked back.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo took a deep breath with his back faced towards Xiao Qi. Steadying his breathing he said: “Xiao Qi should lie down for a little while longer before getting up.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi watched as Song Liang Zhuo left the bed. Though the bed curtains she could see him putting on his clothes before heading to the outer room. Xiao Qi drilled into the blankets for another while. Her leg fished back and forth for half the day before she was finally able to fish out the silk skirt she wore yesterday.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi pulled it out and took a look at it. Seeing a small dark red stain on it, she disdainfully threw it outside the bed curtains.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Waiting for Xiao Qi to drill and play around enough so that she would put on clothes and come out, Song Liang Zhuo had already slowly walked two laps around the small courtyard.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Lu Liu helped Xiao Qi carefully wash up, then asked with a smile: “Miss, does guye treat Miss well?’
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi pouted, then winked towards Lu Liu: “Did you secretly get together with Big Brother Lu?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Lu Liu’s face instantly turned completely red. After a long time she finally humphed: “Miss, don’t talk nonsense. I only go over there to bring Advisor Lu his medicine.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi narrowed her eyes and cast a sideways glance at Lu Liu. Giggling creepily ‘heehee’ she shook her head and said: “Even if you get together it’s fine. Advisor Lu is a really good person.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“That’s true.” Lu Liu pouted: “Back then he also treated Miss extremely well, even more tenderly than guye.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Hee, you know what tenderness is?” Xiao Qi wrinkled her nose as she giggled.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Lu Liu smiled and said: “Of course, Advisor Lu’s type is precisely that, treating people really well. Guye doesn’t treat other people with any particular expression. Sometimes watching it makes people shocked.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi pouted: “Official Song is good. It’s enough that he just smiles at me, having no expression is better. But Big Brother Lu is also strangely good, he looks pretty friendly. Big Brother Lu also…… “
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo lightly coughed. Xiao Qi glanced over, then stuck her tongue out at Lu Liu as she ran to Song Liang Zhuo’s side.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Lu Liu pursed her lips holding back laughter as she left the room. Xiao Qi smiled happily as she leaned against Song Liang Zhuo, waiting for Lu Liu to come out. Tugging at his sleeve, she lowered her head.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo rubbed Xiao Qi’s ears. Xiao Qi ducked, then lifted her head and asked: “Official Song, you really like to rub my ears ah. Why?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo was somewhat taken aback for a moment, then his lips hooked as he said: “Soft, yet it’s tenacious.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi stared at Song Liang Zhuo’s eyes. Her eyes rolled and rolled ah, in the end she lifted her hand to pinch Song Liang Zhuo’s ear.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi folded that ear over and kneaded it for a bit, then rubbed her own ears. Smiling, she said: “Why are yours not attached? So weird.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Most people’s aren’t attached. It’s the ones attached that are strange, Song Liang Zhuo thought silently.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo led Xiao Qi to sit at the table: “Does Xiao Qi have any plans today?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“What about you?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“I’m going to the government office.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“When are you going to build the dam?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“After helping those people settle down.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi nodded: “Then I’ll wait for you to come back at home.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo looked at Xiao Qi’s bright gleaming eyes and said: “Then, I’ll do my best to come back a bit earlier.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi repeatedly nodded her head. Her little hand held Song Liang Zhuo’s and swung for a bit, a slight bit of the newlywed bashfulness could be seen on her face.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Breakfast was as usual, yet Xiao Qi felt like it was different from the past. Xiao Qi even picked some side dishes several times for Song Liang Zhuo. As they were eating, the two didn’t really say anything, yet Xiao Qi felt like Song Liang Zhuo was constantly looking after her. Xiao Qi couldn’t explain why she had that feeling, that very subtle feeling. When they exchanged glances it would make her feel really happy.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo was about to head out. Xiao Qi, seemingly bashfully hung her head as she held his hand, heading all the way to the courtyard entrance to send him off. Song Liang Zhuo, looking at the top of her hair, smiled.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Ah, how did Ha Pi come back?!” Song Liang Zhuo smiled as he spoke.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi suddenly lifted her head, the smile on her face and the naughtiness in her eyes couldn’t be concealed in time. Xiao Qi turned in a circle searching, then swung Song Liang Zhuo’s hand back and forth as she ask: “Where?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo lifted his hand to pinch Xiao Qi’s cheek. This time he pinched quite hard, a red mark even showed up on Xiao Qi’s face. Song Liang Zhuo let go and knitted his brows as he muttered: “Why is it so hard to pinch?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Before he finished his words his line of sight fell on the teeth marks on Xiao Qi’s neck and his face turned a bit red. That was let by him when he got frustrated last night. Song Liang Zhuo lightly coughed and forced a smile: “Alright, I’m off.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi wrinkled her nose as she rubbed her cheek, then also lightly pinched Song Liang Zhuo’s cheek. Uncle Wang, seeing the two dawdling, smiled: “If Madam feels uneasy, then you should just go with him to the government office.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo lowered his eyes. Xiao Qi’s eyes widened as she asked: “Can I go in?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“This ah,” Uncle Wang glanced at Song Liang Zhuo and stuck his lips out at him: “You must ask da ren.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi turned her eyes towards Song Liang Zhuo. Song Liang Zhuo lightly coughed and said: “Stay at home, otherwise, anyways, it’s not good.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi looked at Uncle Wang who was winking at her, bit her lips and said: “Alright, I’ll wait for you at home. And oh, Official Song, did you catch a cold? You keep coughing!”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Song Liang Zhuo went slightly 囧 for a moment. After a pause, he nodded his head, turned around and got into the carriage.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue at Uncle Wang. Staying until the carriage disappeared from sight, only then did she jump a little and then lifted her skirt to run back into the courtyard.
