Morning Star

"..."

Chujiu still rested her hands on Mo Xinglan's knees, waiting obediently. She was very unconvinced in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously. After all, she had drawn a line on his forehead with a brush in the last round, and this time it was the other way around, she didn't dare to provoke him. What if he got unhappy and smeared ink on her face, who would she cry to?

It was rare to see her so well behaved, Mo Xinglan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he knew why she suddenly became well behaved. He stopped talking and raised his right hand holding the pen, gently placing the tip of the pen on her forehead.

Chujiu only felt itchy, cool, and wet on her forehead. She didn't know what Mo Xinglan had drawn on her forehead. Anyway, she didn't think it was a good thing.

After finishing the painting, he raised his brush, released the hand that was pinching Chujiu's chin, and then grabbed her right hand and pushed her away.

"Puff!" An unbearable burst of laughter was heard.

Chujiu looked at the person who was laughing, and the anger that he had just suppressed instantly filled his eyes.

Mo Mingjie, who was snickering, was startled. He coughed lightly and stared at the cards on the table.

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

Sure enough, the painting was not a good thing. But what did the black-hearted evildoer draw? She really wanted to know.

Turning to look at Chu Furong, I found that she was still smiling with her hands covering her lips.

Is it that funny? Is it funnier than hers?

Then he turned to look at Mo Xinglan: "What on earth did you draw on my forehead?"

"Can't you go back and look at yourself in the mirror?" Mo Xinglan replied with a smile.

"..."

"Very similar to you." Seeing that she was still staring at him, Mo Xinglan gave her a hint.

Very similar to her? What is it? What is very similar to her? He should explain it more clearly.

It seems that asking Mo Xinglan is useless, I can only ask my brother for help.

"Brother..." Chujiu pointed to his forehead and asked, "What is this?"

"Hey, Xiaojiu, you'd better look in the mirror later." Chu Wenxuan coughed lightly and avoided Chujiu's eyes.

"I..." So what is it?

The black-hearted monster won’t tell anyone, and his brother won’t tell anyone either. Chu Furong certainly won’t tell anyone, let alone Mo Yan and Mo Mingjie.

Without saying anything, Chujiu had to start the next game.

The few of them played a few more rounds. Except for the black heart that Chujiu drew on Mo Xinglan's forehead, there was no other painting on his face.

In addition to the one drawn by Mo Xinglan on Chujiu's face, there was another one drawn by Chu Wenxuan, who added a circle outside Mo Xinglan's painting to encircle the one drawn by Mo Xinglan.

……

Since there was ink on their faces, they could only wash the ink off their faces in the yard where Mo Xinglan lived.

Chujiu held a mirror and looked at the mark drawn by Mo Xinglan on his forehead.

"Is this a rabbit???" Chujiu turned his head and looked at Mo Xinglan who was holding a handkerchief beside him.

"Yeah." Mo Xinglan looked at Chujiu's forehead.

"Why?" Chujiu was not convinced.

Mo Xinglan snatched the mirror from Chujiu's hand, and looked at the black heart on his forehead in the mirror with doubt in his eyes.

He wiped the ink off his forehead with a wet towel: "Didn't I tell you that he looks a lot like you?"

It jumps around noisily, eats non-stop with its mouth full of food, is sometimes lazy, sometimes very lively, and likes...

Mo Xinglan paused suddenly and stopped thinking.

Chujiu curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "You speak as if you know me very well."

"..." Mo Xinglan paused while wiping his forehead, glanced at Chujiu, threw the mirror into Chujiu's hand, and stopped talking.

……

"What? They are leaving?" Taoyuan Chujiu sat on a chair at night with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes." Luoluo answered honestly.

Chujiu stood up and walked out the door, muttering to himself, "No, I finally got to meet this evil villain once. If he leaves, how long will I have to wait before I can see him again? How can I improve my favorability if I can't see him? How can I complete the mission if I can't improve my favorability? How can I go home if I can't complete the mission?"

Green Radish chased out the door and asked, "Miss, what are you talking about? Where are you going?"

Chujiu then stopped and turned to look at Luluo: "You go back first, I'll go find my father and mother."

Since Mo Xinglan and the others were going back, she had no choice but to follow them to the Mo family. She must cherish and strive for every opportunity to spend time with Mo Xinglan. Improving her favorability was her mission.

So Chujiu talked to Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin, saying that he had not been to the Mo family for a long time and wanted to go there.

It just so happened that Chu Wenxuan was also going to the Mo family. Chu Congnan and his wife were quickly persuaded by Chu Jiu and agreed to let her go with Chu Wenxuan to the Mo family. However, they repeatedly reminded her not to cause trouble and to abide by the rules.

On the second day, Chujiu followed Chu Wenxuan and several members of the Mo family to the Mo family.

When the Mo family members came, they rode in a winged beast carriage. When they went back, although Chujiu and Chu Wenxuan were with them, they still chose to ride in a winged beast carriage.

Just as they arrived at the winged beast carriage, Chujiu suddenly wanted to go shopping.

She had always gone out with a purpose before, and this was a rare time when she went out without a purpose, so she wanted to have some fun.

Besides, there is a special Feiyi Station for the Chu family in Wangfeng City. After shopping, she can just ask the people at the Feiyi Station to take her to the Mo family.

And it's a good opportunity to exercise her courage.

Thinking of this, he told Chu Wenxuan that he wanted to go shopping.

Chu Wenxuan sighed and said helplessly: "You...don't play for too long, and be careful."

"Uh-huh."

That’s great, I can finally have some fun.

Just as I relaxed, I heard Su Rong say, "Xinglan, you should stay with Xiaojiu. It's not safe for her to be outside alone."

"Yeah." Mo Xinglan replied indifferently.

Chujiu was very happy after hearing this. She was just wondering whether she should find a way to get Mo Xinglan to be with her.

But she still had to be polite. So she quickly shook her hands and smiled sheepishly: "Haha, no need, no need, I'm safe alone."

Su Rong thought she was really embarrassed, so she smiled and didn't give her a chance to refute: "Xiao Jiu, come back early after shopping with Xing Lan."

After saying that, he turned around and stepped onto the winged beast carriage. The other people also stepped onto the winged beast carriage.

"Um, I..." She wanted to be polite, but in the end, all she could see was the shadow of the winged beast car disappearing into the distance.

She turned around and looked at Mo Xinglan, who was staring at her coldly, with a distressed look on her face.

She felt as if she was very insecure now.

"Miss Chu, didn't you want to go shopping? Why don't you go shopping anymore?" Mo Xinglan sneered.

What was wrong with her that she wanted to go shopping? She even kept him here. He was still dizzy after losing blood yesterday and just wanted to go back and rest.

"Go shopping, go shopping, go shopping now." Woohoo... the black-hearted monster is so scary. He was angry.

However, his staying was just what she wanted. She quickly took this opportunity to improve the favorability of the black-hearted evildoer.

It's strange, why hasn't the system reminded me of the black-hearted monster's favorability recently? It can't be still at 10? That would be too much of a failure.

Chujiu was thinking as she walked, while Mo Xinglan followed behind her with a cold face.

Didn't you say you wanted to go shopping? Why are you just walking without stopping to look around? Are you kidding me?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Chujiu stopped in front of an old man selling candied haws.

"Grandma, help me get one string..." Chujiu paused, looked at Mo Xinglan beside him, then looked at the old lady, pointed to the number two with his fingers and said, "Two strings of candied haws."

Hearing Chujiu saying one string sometimes and two strings sometimes, the old lady didn't understand how many strings she wanted to buy, so she asked, "How many strings did you buy, girl?"

"Two strings, two strings." Chujiu counted to two and waved it in front of the old man.

The old man then gave Chujiu two strings of candied haws.

Chujiu happily took two strings of candied haws and handed one to Mo Xinglan: "Here, for you."

"No." Mo Xinglan took a look at the candied haws in front of him.

Chujiu was unyielding: "But I already bought two strings."

"I didn't ask you to buy two strings." Mo Xinglan looked at the road ahead.

"Try it. Consider it my treat. I'll treat you to some candied haws."

"Who wants to treat us to candied haws?"

"It's me, hehe."

"...It's too sweet. I don't like it."

"This isn't very sweet. Besides, you lost a lot of blood yesterday. Just think of it as eating something sweet to replenish your blood."

"...Who told you that eating sweet things can replenish blood?" Mo Xinglan asked with disdain.

"Ah? Is that not right? Can't it be made up?" Chujiu stopped and looked up at him in confusion.

Mo Xinglan looked at the candied haws still in front of him, then looked at Chujiu. Finally, he took the candied haws and said, "No."

Chujiu looked at the empty hand stretched out in front of Mo Xinglan, then looked at Mo Xinglan and asked, "Why?"

"..." Mo Xinglan frowned, too lazy to explain to her. He just walked past Chujiu and went forward.

She chased after him, took a bite of the candied haws, and said to herself, "Are you angry again?"

Mo Xinglan, who was walking in front, paused and stopped in front of a shop selling spiritual medicine.

Chujiu, who was following behind, bumped into him without paying attention.

"Ouch!" She covered her forehead with one hand in pain.

Mo Xinglan looked back at Chujiu and handed the candied haws he had already eaten to her: "Take it."

Chujiu took it without knowing why, and when he turned around and walked into the store, he followed him.

The shopkeeper saw the two people dressed in extraordinary clothes and immediately stepped forward to greet them: "What kind of elixir do you want to buy?"

"Do you have Blood Spirit Grass?" Mo Xinglan asked the shopkeeper.

"Oh, young master, you have come just in time. We just happen to have a blood spirit grass here." The shopkeeper replied with a smile.

"...I bought it." Mo Xinglan took out the spirit stone.

Chujiu, who was standing by, was puzzled, not understanding why Mo Xinglan came to the spiritual medicine shop to buy spiritual medicine. Could it be that the Mo family was short of spiritual medicine?

Shouldn't a big family like this have its own spiritual medicine garden? Why did he have to buy it from outside?

As he was thinking, Chujiu had unknowingly finished his candied haws and accidentally ate one of Mo Xinglan's.

When she came to her senses, Mo Xinglan had already paid the spirit stones and turned around to look at her and the candied haws in her hand.

He asked her to hold it, and she actually gave him one to eat.

Chujiu looked at the candied haws in his hand, and then looked at Mo Xinglan.

How embarrassing!

How come I ate one of his candied haws without realizing it?

She held the bamboo stick of the candied haws in her two hands very shyly, and then handed it to him very sincerely, lowering her head: "If I, if I say it accidentally dropped one, would you believe it?"
