Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

Qiuyue looked up and replied, "Shouxu is back. Is he...going to the kitchen again?"

Zhang Shouxu took the lunch box and gently placed it on the table. He nodded and said, "Yes, some desserts and scented tea. Ah Ling can have some later if she wants."

Qiuyue arched her eyebrows and said, "It seems Shouxu hasn't eaten it yet. You can try it later."

Zhang Shouxu raised the corners of his lips slightly and did not refuse. The girl wanted to be closer to him, so why should he refuse?

"A Ling, there is something I want to tell you."

Zhang Shouxu took out the pastries from the lunch box while speaking softly. Qiuyue tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Shouxu glanced at Cotton Pudding, who was rubbing Qiuyue's hands. A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly told her all his thoughts from noon. Qiuyue's eyes lit up after listening to him, and she exclaimed, "Oh! Shouxu, you are so smart. Why didn't I think of making some cat toys for Cotton Pudding? This way, they can play with them on their own at other times. Shouxu, you are so smart. Okay, let Cotton Pudding go, or I will go with them to see?"

Zhang Shouxu smiled slightly and said, "No need, A-ling, don't worry. No one will dare to do anything to them. They will be safe once they go. The wooden climbing frame takes a while to make. If A-ling goes, she will definitely have to wait a long time. Besides, the carpenters will become a little restrained because of A-ling's arrival. So just let me take them there. Besides, I will have the craftsmen make a few more toys for them. They need to watch and play with them there. Only in this way can the toys be truly suitable for them to use."

Qiuyue nodded thoughtfully after hearing this and said, "You're right. I'm the Ancestral Qilin. If I go there, it will definitely put pressure on the carpenters. Well, then I won't go. Shouxu, you take them there."

After saying this, Qiuyue lowered her head to look at the cotton pudding lying in her hands, and said softly, "Little cotton pudding, when you go there, be good and don't run around. If you encounter dangerous knives or something, stay away from them. Don't get close out of curiosity. Got it?"

"Meow!" I got it, don't worry, sister!

"Meow!" We must stay away from dangerous things!

"Be good, be good."

Qiuyue rubbed their little heads and then put them in Zhang Shouxu's arms. Zhang Shouxu glanced at the two palm-sized little fur balls in his arms and said to Qiuyue, "A Ling, have some dessert first. I'll be back soon."

Qiuyue nodded, waved her hand gently and said, "Go ahead."

Zhang Shouxu suppressed the curve of his lips, and rushed out instantly with the two little cubs in his arms. His speed was so fast that it almost left an afterimage.

Ha, if there is no opportunity, you have to create one. He will send these two annoying guys away now!

Zhang Shouxu was very fast. Qiuyue had just started writing the rules of the new chess and card game when Zhang Shouxu came back with a very happy mood.

"elder sister."

Zhang Shouxu called out as he walked to Qiuyue's side. Qiuyue looked up at him and asked curiously, "How is it? Did the carpenters say anything?"

Zhang Shouxu said gently, "The carpenters thanked Master Linzu for his trust and said they would do their best. They also asked, A-Ling, if there was anything you wanted to make, and they could make it together."

Qiuyue shook her head and said, "I don't have anything I want to do for now. Just let them make toys for the cotton pudding. I'll let them do it when I have an idea later."

Zhang Shouxu naturally agreed to everything. He was really happy because he could be alone with Qiuyue again.

When he sent Cotton Pudding to find the carpenters, he had quietly ordered the carpenters to do everything they could to keep the two kittens. As long as the carpenters continued to make new toys, Cotton Pudding would definitely be attracted. Then they might want to find the carpenters themselves, and he could enjoy his own world with his beloved without anyone disturbing him.

"Shou Xu, Shou Xu."

Qiuyue called softly, and Zhang Shouxu came back to his senses and responded, "What's wrong, sister?"

Qiuyue pointed to some of the pictures she had recently drawn and said, "Hey, this is a new card. I have to trouble you to make it again~"

"Okay, I'll go get the wood."

Zhang Shouxu responded softly, turned around and walked out. His steps were like the wind, and he looked very brisk. Qiuyue didn't notice this, as her mind was full of thinking about the rules of the new cards.

Qiuyue was going to play mahjong this time. Actually, she wanted to play truth or dare at first, but the two truth or dare games she played in her memory made her blush uncontrollably, so she simply changed to mahjong. After all, mahjong is very playable and there is no need to worry about no one liking it.

Because mahjong has a lot of tiles and rules, Qiuyue and Zhang Shouxu worked together for an entire afternoon to finish it. Qiuyue put down the brush in her hand, stretched, and then looked up at Zhang Shouxu. When she saw that his body and hands were covered with sawdust, she couldn't help but feel speechless. Why was Zhang Shouxu doing the work of a carpenter in front of her?

After walking over and sticking the whitening talisman on Zhang Shouxu, Qiuyue picked up the mahjong tiles he had carved and began to look at them.

Modern mahjong tiles are usually made of plastic or acrylic, but Zhang Shouxu used wood. Although he had smoothed out any sharp corners and uneven areas, it still felt a bit rough to the touch. Qiuyue couldn't help but frown slightly. Zhang Shouxu noticed her frown and immediately asked, "Sister, did I make this tile wrong?"

Qiuyue shook her head and said, "It's not that you did it wrong, it's that the feel is wrong, it's too rough. I should have thought of using bamboo or bone."

Zhang Shouxu was slightly stunned for a moment, then said, "Sister, tell me how to do it, and I'll do it again."

Qiuyue put the wooden sign back on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "Put it aside for now. You've been carving it all afternoon and you must be tired. I'll think about how to make it later. I remember seeing someone do this before. I'll make it again when I remember."

Zhang Shouxu responded, raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, and suddenly said: "Sister, I want to hug you, can I?"

Qiuyue was stunned, and blinked at Zhang Shouxu. Before she could say anything, Zhang Shouxu suddenly lowered his eyes and said with a hint of disappointment: "Isn't it possible..."

Qiuyue couldn't stand this and quickly responded, "Okay, okay, you can hug me."

Before he finished saying the last word "hug", Zhang Shouxu instantly stretched out his arms and hugged Qiuyue. Because he used a lot of force, Qiuyue stumbled and fell on his thighs. The scorching temperature made Qiuyue sit up straight in an instant, and her face flushed visibly.

Sit, sit in someone’s arms!!

Zhang Shouxu didn't seem to think anything was wrong. Instead, he hugged her and let her lean against him. His arms tightly wrapped around her waist, and his hot and broad chest was completely pressed against her back, making her face blush even more.

"Shou, Shouxu, you..."

Qiuyue's voice trembled. She had only been hugged like this by the people in her family, but not by Zhang Shouxu. He treated her like a sister, so how could he hug her like this?!

"What's wrong, sister? Is there anything wrong with me hugging you like this?"

Zhang Shouxu asked in confusion. Qiuyue blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look up at him. As a result, she didn't see the joy and malice in his eyes.

"Shou, Shouxu, why are you hugging me like this? Let go, you're too close..."

Qiuyue's hands felt a little weak as she tried to pull his arms, but she couldn't move them at all. The strong arms were firmly wrapped around her waist, stimulating her so much that she couldn't help but tremble all over. If this continued, her body would probably become weak.

"Can't I hold you like this? Why, sister? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Shouxu lowered his head and spoke softly in Qiuyue's ear. His hot breath made Qiuyue's ears even hotter. She couldn't help but shrink her head, with tears in her eyes and a trembling voice, "Men and women shouldn't be intimate with each other. Have you never been with a girl before?"

Qiuyue originally thought that Zhang Shouxu would finally let go after she said this, but the next second she heard him say in a low and lost tone: "No, sister, I... have never been with a girl..."

Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she heard him continue to mutter, "I, I'm afraid of seeing their disdainful looks. Sister...you are the first girl I've come into contact with..."

Huh? ! !

Qiuyue was shocked. She turned around and looked at him without any shyness. Her beautiful eyes were wide open and she looked at him in disbelief: "You have never been in contact with a girl before?!"

No, how could such a handsome guy with broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, handsome face, tall and slender figure never have any contact with girls? How could this be reasonable?

Although everyone in the Zhang family is incredibly good-looking, Zhang Shouxu is also extremely outstanding compared to the others. How could any girl dislike him?!

Zhang Shouxu lowered his eyes as if he was extremely sad. He nodded slightly, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Hmm..."

"Why? Huh? Why do you feel like they dislike you? You look nice, and you were the leader of the punishment team before, so your position should be quite high, right? Why do you feel disliked?"

Qiuyue completely forgot about being shy and just sat on his lap, asking him in surprise. Zhang Shouxu pursed his lips and didn't say anything, looking like he had something to hide. Qiuyue's heart skipped a beat, and her voice immediately softened. She coaxed him softly, "Don't be afraid, Shouxu. Just tell me what's wrong. I might be able to help you."

Zhang Shouxu pursed his lips even tighter, shook his head, and suddenly lowered his head and gently placed it on Qiuyue's shoulder, as if he was thinking of something sad. All of a sudden, all kinds of speculations appeared in Qiuyue's mind, such as that he had been bullied by the girls in the tribe before, or that he had done something ugly in his childhood and it was spread around, and she even thought that he was phobic about women. However, this speculation just popped up and was extinguished by Qiuyue. Zhang Shouxu couldn't be phobic about women. If he was, how could he come to be her bodyguard and recognize her as his sister?
