Morning Star

Chu Wenxuan lowered his eyes with a gentle look on his face: "I would like to marry Xiaoxiao as soon as possible, but Xiaoxiao doesn't seem to be in a hurry. I mentioned it once and then I didn't mention it again."

"Well, Xiaoxiao is a playful kid. She probably feels that she won't be able to play carefree like she does now after getting married, so she doesn't want to get married." Xiao Chen felt a little amused and helpless when thinking of Xiaoxiao's personality after hearing this.

After a pause, he patted Chu Wenxuan's shoulder and said, "It's hard for you to wait for that silly girl."

Chu Wenxuan chuckled and shook his head: "It should be."

People who practice cultivation have long lifespans, so he can afford to wait.

On the other side, the girls were in the hot spring and talked about marriage. Xiao Xiao actually wanted to marry Chu Wenxuan, and she didn't agree before because she wanted to have some free time. But when she saw Chu Jiu and Mo Xinglan sticking together all day long before they got married, she couldn't stand it. Although this was because Mo Xinglan was injured and unconscious and Chu Jiu was taking care of him, she was also envious.

She still had this plan, but when Chu Wenxuan proposed the marriage, she said she would wait a little longer. How could she suddenly change her mind? That would make her seem unreasonable.

So she had never mentioned it. Today, her mother and aunt brought it up, which was a good opportunity. She could let them talk about it, and she could save face.

She told the three of them her idea. Xiao Xuerong and Yang Wanqing looked at each other and nodded, thinking it was appropriate.

"Okay then, your aunt Yang and I will choose a good day tomorrow and try to get you and Wenxuan married this year." Xiao Xuerong said.

Chujiu thought of something and reminded him, "Don't forget to tell me when you choose a date."

The two mothers looked at her in confusion, only to hear her explain: "Xiao Xiao's wedding must be hosted by me."

Knowing that she and Xiao Xiao had a good relationship, Yang Wanqing and Xiao Xuerong agreed with a smile.

After that, they stayed in the bath for a while and decided to leave as it was getting late.

While sorting out her clothes, Yang Wanqing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She secretly calculated the days and then remembered that her period was coming. But she didn't think about it when she went out, so she didn't bring it with her. When she asked several girls, they all shook their heads and said they didn't bring it with them.

It's not the right time for this thing, and I'm only staying for one night, so who would remember to bring it?

So a few of them decided to go out together to buy some girls' supplies and some other things.

After getting dressed and walking out of the hot spring room, the boys had been waiting outside for a few minutes.

Except for Mo Xinglan, everyone else was wearing a bathrobe and planned to go directly back to the room they had booked previously.

Several people looked at the four neatly dressed girls in confusion.

"Are you going out?" Xiao Chen asked uncertainly.

Xiao Xuerong nodded: "Yes, let's go out and buy something."

"Then... let's go together?" Chu Chengyu suggested.

Yang Wanqing waved her hand: "No, the four of us can go."

When Chu Chengyu heard that only four girls were going out, he subconsciously felt unsafe and asked worriedly: "Will you girls..."

"Oh, Dad, if something really happens, who knows who will be unlucky. Xiaoxiao and I are here." Chujiu guaranteed.

Chushi, who was worried at first, thought of this and said, "Yes, Dad. You forgot that my sister is so strong that even if ten cows come, they will be easily killed by her punch. Why are you worrying about this?"

Chu Chengyu thought what he said made sense, nodded and thought for a moment, then reminded him, "But Xiaojiu, if you really meet a bad guy, don't really kill him with one punch."

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

So what kind of existence is she in their eyes?

At this moment, Yang Wanqing saw Mo Xinglan who had just walked over and looked him up and down in confusion: "Hey, Xinglan... didn't you take a hot spring bath together?"

Mo Xinglan nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Chu Chengyu spoke first: "Oh, Xinglan wasn't feeling well at the time, so he didn't come with us."

"You feel uncomfortable?" Yang Wanqing was worried. "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you feeling better now? How about going to your room to rest?"

Mo Xinglan didn't know how to answer her questions one after another. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "I'll be fine after resting for a while. Don't worry."

He was still not used to this sudden enthusiasm and concern.

Chujiu naturally knew that Mo Xinglan's discomfort was just an excuse. How could she not know that he didn't like being touched by men, let alone staying in a hot spring with several men almost naked?

But other people don't know about this, so they are naturally the most worried.

Yang Wanqing was still a little worried after hearing what Mo Xinglan said: "Are you really okay? Don't force yourself, your health is the most important thing."

She still remembered clearly the last time he vomited blood and fainted.

It was from that time that Mo Xinglan was left in her mind as a weak and sickly person. She was always worried that Mo Xinglan would feel unwell, eat poorly, or not get enough nutrition.

This time Mo Xinglan did not answer. Chujiu stepped forward and took Yang Wanqing's arm, saying patiently, "Oh, Mom, don't worry, he's fine. He's a doctor himself, and his medical skills are better than those doctors in the hospital."

"What you said, I still understand the principle that doctors don't treat themselves." Yang Wanqing disagreed and said unhappily.

Chujiu felt wronged: "But he can heal himself. If he couldn't heal himself, he wouldn't be where he is today."

After hearing this, Mo Xinglan's long eyelashes trembled and he lowered his eyes.

Yang Wanqing frowned, thought of the world where Mo Xinglan lived, sighed and said nothing more.

Planning to go out shopping.

But before she left, Mo Xinglan grabbed Chujiu's hand and wouldn't let her go.

Several people stopped and looked at the two of them. For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on the two of them, especially Mo Xinglan.

Mo Xinglan frowned slightly: "I'll go too."

Chujiu hesitated for a while, looked at Yang Wanqing and the other two waiting for him, then turned back to look at Mo Xinglan and said embarrassedly: "We...a bunch of girls are walking fast, and you're a boy...it's not good, right?"

But he became unhappy and confused: "You are my wife, what's wrong with me being with you?"

"Well...but...you see, Dad and Uncle are not with us, right? So..." She laughed dryly twice, her meaning was obvious.

He understood something after she said this, but he still wanted to be with her.

Her eyebrows drooped slightly, and her expression unconsciously showed a hint of pleading and grievance: "But I want to be with you. Jiuer..."

Could you please not abandon him?

Chujiu couldn't stand his behavior the most, and she felt a little distressed when she saw it.

He sighed and looked at Yang Wanqing and the other two. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Xiao Xuerong say with a smile, "It's okay, we'll wait."

They didn't expect Mo Xinglan to be so attached to Chujiu, and they felt helpless but also a little envious. Thinking of this, they felt a little angry when they looked at their man.

Why has my man never been so clingy to me?

The two old men met their wives' eyes, shuddered unconsciously, and quickly looked away.

Chujiu pulled Mo Xinglan back and said, "Come here."

After saying this, without waiting for Mo Xinglan's consent, he dragged him to a corner.

Mo Xinglan was forced to follow without saying a word.

Everyone was puzzled, but soon their eyes lit up with a look of excitement. They hesitated whether to follow and see what was going on.

At the corner, Chujiu pulled Mo Xinglan's hand a little harder, held his arm and pressed him against the wall. After letting go, he supported the wall with both hands to block his retreat.

"..." Mo Xinglan was stunned for a moment and looked at the posture. He felt a little displeased but did not stop it.

Chujiu looked up at him, her eyes slowly moving from his face to his fair neck. She wanted to take a bite, but he was too tall for her to bite.

He sighed and said patiently, "Xingxing, mom and I are going out to buy girls' supplies. It's not convenient for you, a boy, to follow us."

"If they go buy it, can't you stay?" he was puzzled.

"No. It's dangerous for a few girls to be outside at night. What if they run into some hooligans or something, and Xiao Xiao can't handle it alone?"

"With one more you, can we handle it?"

"Then I have a great advantage anyway. The cultivators of the same level as me can't beat me, so how can I be taken advantage of by an ordinary person?"

He did not respond immediately after Chujiu finished speaking.

After a moment of silence, he turned his head away with an unhappy look on his face: "Then I'll go with you."

“……”Chujiu was so angry at his stubborn temper that he was speechless.

She closed her eyes, loosened her hands that were supporting the wall, glared at him and said bluntly: "I just want to go shopping with Mom and Aunt Xiao, just like having some girl time. There are some things that are not convenient to say in front of you as a man, do you understand?"

At the end of her words, there was an impatience that could not be hidden in her tone.

Mo Xinglan took in her expression, opened his lips and then closed them again. After a few breaths, he lowered his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth sneerfully, "So you can't stand it anymore?"

"Who can stand you clinging to me like this all the time? I need some private space, okay? I'm just going out to buy something, it'll only take ten or twenty minutes, I won't run away, and I won't abandon you, so what are you worried about?" Chujiu finally couldn't help it.

After these words fell silent again, Mo Xinglan stared at her for a while, his hands hanging by his side clenched into fists. A sense of depression gradually rose up.

She finally admitted that she couldn't stand him anymore. She had thought about it a long time ago, but she still couldn't accept it when the moment came.

Without getting an answer from Mo Xinglan, Chujiu didn't want to wait any longer and said stubbornly, "Forget it if you don't want to talk. I'm leaving first. Mom and Aunt Xiao are still waiting for me. Go back to your room and think about what I said. Don't follow me."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without even looking back, leaving Mo Xinglan standing there with his head down, leaning against the wall. He didn't even notice a drop of blood sliding down from Mo Xinglan's clenched fist.

She told him not to follow...

She told him to give her some private space, she said she couldn't stand him sticking to her like this...

He knew that she also needed private space, and he also knew that he shouldn't cling to her so much. But he didn't know what to do.

She hadn't looked at him seriously for a long time, did she know that? She hadn't thought about him for a long time. After coming here, she would always ignore him, did she know that?

If it were in the past, she would have noticed his uneasiness long ago, but now her eyes were all on her family and she couldn't see him at all.

He was really jealous and envious, but he could do nothing about it.

He didn't know what to do.
