My ex-boyfriend is looking forward to my bankruptcy

"Are you trying to trick me again? I won't fall for your tricks."

After Qu Tao finished speaking, he placed his arms on the edge of the pool, tilted his head back slightly, and closed his eyes in great enjoyment.

The air is so quiet that you can almost hear the rustling of leaves in the distant wind.

The cheeks turned red due to the heat, and fine beads of sweat mixed with spring water formed grooves on the white neck.

Xi Mozhou looked at it and rubbed his ankle with his foot again.

"Tao Tao?"

No response, I'm not willing to accept it!

"Wife?"

Qu Tao still had his eyes closed, and his slender index finger touched his lips.

"Shh...let me take a nap."

Xi Mozhou didn't say anything else, but the foot on his ankle became restless.

Tease her inch by inch, but don't rush.

Qu Tao didn't care at first, until a shadow was cast in front of him, then he opened his eyes alertly.

"Xi Mozhou, can't you just stay still?"

"No."

He felt the force of gravity on his legs, and Qu Tao wanted to push the person away, but Xi Mozhou spoke before him.

"Don't move, my arm is injured and I can't get it wet."

"Do you remember that there was..."

"Hmm..." Before he could finish his words, someone blocked his lips and the words got stuck deep in his throat, and his voice was instantly crushed into pieces.

Above the steaming hot spring pool, white mist lingered, and as lips and tongues intertwined, certain emotions, like ripples in the pool water, expanded little by little.

A whimper like a cat's meow came from his lips, and he stopped invading her, his lips moving down her neck...

"May I?"

With difficulty breathing, Qu Tao stared at him blankly until a big palm landed on his waist. His body trembled and he let out a trembling sound.

"You knew you were injured, yet..."

"It can be the same as last time."

The legs were wrapped around the waist like a poisonous snake, carrying a burning momentum, and the more they wrapped around, the tighter they became.

An ambiguous and wet sound came intermittently in the lingering mist.

In the evening, the last ray of afterglow faded away, and Qu Tao leaned in Xi Mozhou's arms and walked back.

After his legs went weak several times, Qu Tao ran into the four people who were cooking in the living room. Without even saying hello, he lowered his head and walked quickly towards the bedroom.

"I'm sure these two are in the backyard..."

Han Feng didn't finish his playful teasing when Qu Tao suddenly turned around and gave him a sharp look.

"Shut up, I'll come out and deal with you later."

"Brother, he is mean to me..."

Han Feng teased Qu Tao deliberately with a sense of humor, and leaned into Pei Zechen's arms in a coquettish manner.

Qu Tao curled his lips in disgust at him and closed the bedroom door.

"Little Green Tea, I'll come out and deal with you later."

Turning around, Qu Tao threw himself onto the bed. Xi Mozhou was still able to work despite his injured arm, but in the end, he was the one who suffered the most.

"Xi Mozhou, don't touch me again until your arm injury is healed."

After saying these coquettish words, Xi Mozhou sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his lower back lovingly.

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife. I will make it up to you tonight."

"I don't want your compensation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a "chuckle" suddenly came from the door. Qu Tao didn't need to guess, he knew who it was.

"Little Green Tea, do you really want me to go out and deal with you?"

"Taozi, don't be angry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. Brother Shen and Brother Xuan are in the yard. They've set up the grill. The carnival party is waiting for you two."

Xi Mozhou’s decision to bring Qiu Mingxuan and Shen Yichen was right. The two of them had no partners, so they started to make barbecue skewers early in the afternoon.

"Got it, I'll be out in a minute."

When Qu Tao and the others came out, there was a faint smell of meat wafting through the yard.

Pei Zechen and Shen Yichen were grilling skewers, Qiu Mingxuan took out a guitar from somewhere and tuned the strings, and Han Feng sat beside them with great anticipation.

"Brother Xuan, you can also play the guitar, that's awesome!"

Barbecue, wine, music, Han Feng had a longing expression on his face.

Qu Tao flicked his forehead lightly.

"You better hope he plays and doesn't sing."

"why?"

Qu Tao watched Qiu Mingxuan tune the strings of the guitar and pluck them gently, then he walked to the grill with foresight.

"I am a wolf from the north..."

As soon as Qiu Mingxuan opened his mouth, Han Feng was so scared that he almost fell down on the lawn. He steadied himself and immediately ran towards Qu Tao.

"Ahhh... Taozi, the wolf is coming..."

After Han Feng finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of Qiu Mingxuan, then turned back and looked at the few people timidly.

"Do you know if there are any wolves in this mountain? I'm worried that I might attract them."

There was a burst of laughter here, but Qiu Mingxuan didn't notice it. He closed his eyes and looked affectionate.

"I'm sure I'm the wolf in sheep's clothing..."

A rough voice, an out-of-tune tone, Qu Tao looked around.

The villa hotel below them seemed to be having a barbecue in the yard as well, and several people were looking in their direction.

Feeling so embarrassed, Qu Tao quickly sat down on a small stool and shrank his body.

Shen Yichen put the first batch of grilled skewers on the baking tray and handed it to him.

"You've worked hard taking care of Mozhou. Eat something first."

Shen Yichen spoke sincerely, without any impurities.

But Han Feng's ears changed when he heard it. He took the sausages roasted by Pei Zechen and handed them to Qu Tao.

"Come, Taozi, you've worked hard waiting on Senior Brother Xi to take a hot spring bath this afternoon. I'll give you my skewers first."

"Crazy, do you think I wouldn't dare to deal with you while your husband is here?"

Qu Tao immediately heard the sarcasm in his words and glared at him. Han Feng glanced at him and looked at Pei Zechen with watery eyes.

"Brother, I was kind enough to grill some sausage for Taozi, but he got mad at me..."

"Little Green Tea, why didn't I realize you were so flirty before..."

Qu Tao stood up from the stool, and Han Feng immediately ran away, deliberately provoking him as he ran.

"Is the sausage not tasty? Or did you eat too much this afternoon?"

"..." Is this still the Han Feng he knew? Why did he start eating meat? It's like he has become a different person.

The air in the mountains is excellent, and the stars in the dark night sky appear numerous and bright.

After Qu Tao had played around with him enough, they started eating skewers. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang with a message.

"If he had something to do with your parents' death, would you still choose to be with him?"

An unfamiliar phone number and a nonsensical sentence. Qu Tao stared at the phone screen in a daze.

"what happened?"

Xi Mozhou noticed his abnormality and looked at his phone. Qu Tao immediately pressed the screen off button.

"Nothing, just advertising."

Qu Tao didn't sleep well that night. He woke up several times and stared at the man sleeping beside him.

What exactly did that message mean? Was the "he" in the message referring to Xi Mozhou?

But he was only twelve when the car accident happened, and Xi Mozhou was only fifteen. How could he be related to Xi Mozhou?

Besides, the accident was entirely caused by the truck driver's fatigue driving. The driver who was overtaking in the wrong direction had tried his best to avoid him, but still failed to prevent the tragedy from happening.

Qu Tao was tired of thinking about it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. After all, Difeng had established itself in the tobacco market a long time ago, and Xi's father would never go to any truck.

The next day, after breakfast, the six of them went hiking.

The layers of red leaves, and the sunlight filtering through the branches, were all stained with color.

Since they were out for fun, Qu Tao was not in a hurry to reach the top. He walked leisurely at the end of the crowd with Xi Mozhou.

There was another sudden message alert tone, from the same unfamiliar number from last night.

"His mother and your parents died in the same car accident!"
