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

Seeing them nodding their heads while shedding tears, Qiuyue finally stopped her stern face. She reached out to wipe their faces and said softly, "It's good that you know you were wrong. Don't do it again next time. Sister knows that you are all obedient children. Don't cry, don't cry."

"Woo~"

"Miwu~"

The two little guys cried even harder after hearing Qiuyue's gentle tone. Their furry little faces were buried in Qiuyue's palms and they wouldn't come out. Qiuyue sighed softly and coaxed them, "Be good, be good."

A hint of joy flashed in Zhang Shouxu's eyes where Qiuyue couldn't see. As he said before, he didn't care about the counterattack of the two little guys at all. He didn't care even if he was injured, because it would only make that soft-hearted person prefer him more, and he wanted it more.

"Sister, they already know they are wrong and they will definitely not do this again. I will send them back to sleep."

Zhang Shouxu reached out to grab the cotton pudding again. This time, the two little ones didn't dare to move and let him hold them. Qiuyue couldn't help but sigh and said, "Go to bed, be good."

"Meow~" I know, I know, sister, meow~

"Meow..." Let's go to bed now...

The cotton puddings have become completely obedient now. They no longer dare to do anything to Zhang Shouxu, for fear of making Qiuyue angry again. If the situation gets more serious and he ignores them in the future, they will be really sad to death!

"Sister, go to bed too. I'll just take them there."

Zhang Shouxu spoke gently, and the two little ones immediately became a little angry, because if Qiuyue didn't follow him, then Zhang Shouxu would be alone, and if he did anything to them, they would have no way to escape!

"Forget it, I'll go with you."

Qiuyue glanced at the two little ones who still had airplane ears, and sighed again in her heart. Zhang Shouxu nodded, and said nothing more. He just walked towards the palace of the official with Qiuyue. As for why they didn't go to other palaces, it was actually because the palace of the official was the closest. If they went to other palaces, they would have to walk a distance, so they might as well let them sleep directly in the palace of the official. Anyway, Qiuyue would put whitening talismans on them every day, so they would be clean from beginning to end, and there was no need to worry about them dirtying the place.

Because Qiuyue came along, the two little ones' blown-up fur returned to normal. After Qiuyue and Zhang Shouxu closed the door and left, they started talking in low voices.

"Meow!" This bad thing, woo woo woo, damn it, my sister is angry with us!

"Meow!" Bad guy! Bad guy! If only we weren't cats, I want to talk to my sister!

"Meow~" I also want to talk to my sister, woo woo, it would be great if Xiaoguan was here, Xiaoguan would definitely stand with us~

"Meow!" It will take many days for Xiaoguan to come back, how annoying!

"Meow..." Hey...

The kittens' whispers could be heard softly in the silent hall, and only they themselves understood the meaning of their words.

(Abridged) (In the evening, Zhang Shouxu, those who understand will understand.)

Qiuyue was so embarrassed when she woke up from a sweet dream. The guy last night was a little more excessive than before, but only a little bit, not to the extent that a real person would do. But even so, she was already embarrassed. She even doubted whether the guy would really do it to the end the next time he came!

Wow, even though it feels real, I still prefer being with real people...

In the morning, Zhang Shouxu was still the only one in the hall. After having breakfast with him, Qiuyue asked him to bring the things for drawing talismans. There was no other way. The notebook she wanted had not arrived yet. The game was fun but she couldn't play it all the time. The number of talisman papers was far from what she wanted, so she had to draw more, otherwise there would be too little left for the children.

"Sister, I want to hug you..."

Zhang Shouxu squatted beside Qiuyue and spoke softly. His tall stature made it almost eye level with the sitting Qiuyue even when he squatted down. Qiuyue finished the last stroke of the talisman paper, turned to look at him and said, "Okay, okay, hug me."

"But, but I don't want to just do it once, sister..."

Zhang Shouxu once again rested his head gently on Qiuyue's knees as before. Qiuyue was slightly stunned, and subconsciously reached out to stroke his head, saying, "You don't want just a hug, then what kind of hug do you want?"

Hearing Qiuyue's question, Zhang Shouxu did not respond to her question immediately. Instead, he looked up at her and said, "Sister, can you stand up?"

Qiuyue was a little confused, but still put down the brush in her hand and stood up. Seeing this, Zhang Shouxu also stood up. As Qiuyue's eyes slowly widened, he sat on the chair she had just sat on. Then he stretched out his arms and hugged her directly to sit on his thighs. The hot temperature on his thighs made Qiuyue straighten up immediately.

!!!

"Shou, Shou Xu?!"

Qiuyue's voice trembled with shock. Zhang Shouxu immediately hugged her tightly, his broad chest pressed tightly against her back. He lowered his head and gently placed it on top of her head. He said in a low voice, "Sister, just draw like this. I'll hold you like this."

"No, no, you can't hold me like this, Shouxu, you, you let go."

Qiuyue's face turned red instantly. This posture was too intimate. This was not the hug that siblings should have!

"Why not? I want to hold my sister in my arms forever, before she leaves me..."

Zhang Shouxu's voice became increasingly low, sounding somewhat muffled. Qiuyue was startled, then heard him continue, "When I was little, I saw others holding their children like this. I watched the adults making the children in their arms laugh and make noises, and I thought to myself how nice it would be if I had a family like this (fake). But it wasn't until I grew up that I realized, no, I don't have any family. No one would accompany me like this. I would never have such company, until, until you, sister, came, but...but I'm already so grown up, I can't be held in someone's lap and coaxed anymore, so I want to switch, let me hold my family, sister, please, let me hold you..."

Zhang Shouxu's voice was choked and trembling at the end. Qiuyue felt a pang in her heart when she heard it, and she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

She just wanted to realize her childhood dream. What's so impossible about it? It was just a hug, and she gave it to her!

"Okay, you, don't cry, I'll hold you, be good."

Qiuyue softened her voice to coax him, reaching out to gently pat the arm that was hugging her. Zhang Shouxu smiled but hummed in a low, hoarse voice. He lowered his head and rubbed the top of Qiuyue's head, mumbling incoherently with a sentimental tone, "Thank you, sister. You're so kind..."

Qiuyue sighed secretly in her heart. In the end, she just let him be. Just treat him as a slightly older child who likes to be clingy.

After comforting herself, Qiuyue picked up the brush again and started drawing the talisman. After concentrating on the talisman paper for a long time, she ignored the person holding her, which was also the result Zhang Shouxu wanted.

He approaches step by step and tests step by step. Maybe one day he will get what he wants without dying?

Qiuyue was really engrossed in drawing talismans, and it was only when Zhang Shouxu reminded her that the children had finished school that she remembered that she was still sitting in his arms. When he let go of her hand and let her stand up, Qiuyue felt a sudden chill behind her. After getting used to the big heater holding her, she felt a little empty when they separated.

Qiuyue secretly despised herself for this. How could she be reluctant to leave just because someone's arms were so warm?

At noon, as usual, Zhang Shouxu was responsible for bringing lunch, while Qiuyue went to the school to pick up Cotton Pudding after school. She chatted with the children for a while, and waited for Zhang Shouxu to call her before she carried the two little ones and followed him back to the palace for dinner. Nothing special happened.

I don’t know if what happened yesterday made Cotton Pudding remember it, but now the two little ones no longer react as strongly as they did last night when they see Zhang Shouxu clinging to Qiuyue for a hug. They just remember everything in the little notebook in their hearts and stare at him with resentful eyes.

Cotton: Damn bad guy! He is obviously an old man, but he still calls me sister and hugs me. He is so shameless!

Pudding: How shameless! I'm going to write all of this down in my little notebook. When I turn back into a human and grow up, I'm going to get my revenge!

The two weak and pitiful resentful eyes could not attract any attention from Zhang Shouxu. After clinging to Qiuyue for a while, he watched her go to take a nap. After Qiuyue's figure was completely out of sight, he turned his head to look at the cotton pudding that was curled up on the table and staring at him. This sight made the two little ones' ears prick up instantly.

Dangerous! !

Cotton Pudding: I'm in danger!!

However, what surprised Cotton Pudding was that Zhang Shouxu did not do anything to them. He just sent them to the carpenter as usual and left. This made them look at each other in surprise.

Cotton: He didn’t do anything to us?

Pudding: Is it because he's afraid that we'll tell our sister about it? But we can't say anything.

Cotton: Or maybe he just doesn't care about us at all because we are just kittens?

Pudding: ...possibly.

What is the puzzled Zhang Shouxu doing now?

Ohhh, dear, guess where he is?

Of course, it’s on the bed of the most beautiful person in the world!

After taking a nap with her brother still by her side, Qiuyue got up refreshed and went to work. Well, not really work, but she and Zhang Shouxu started to arrange mahjong tiles.

Zhang Shouxu had already said last night that he would ask carpenters to help make a few sets of mahjong tiles. After a night and a morning, the carpenters had already made ten sets of bamboo mahjong tiles. Together with Qiuyue's two sets, there were enough for more than forty children. Tonight, Qiuyue planned to let them compete with mahjong. Whoever won would get the rag doll made in her image!
