The words on the note written by Lu Xiao can only be revealed when it comes into contact with water. It was the other him in his body who taught him to do this.

Because the other him in his body has a special identity, he has to be extremely cautious in everything he does and cannot let anyone know about his dual personality.

The next day, it was still dawn.

Xia Xizhi woke up in a daze when he smelled the fragrance of food. He was tired from shopping yesterday and had a fight. He felt sore and tired all over. He groaned and was about to get up when a big hand pushed him back into the quilt.

Lu Xiao tucked her quilt and kissed her forehead.

"I've prepared the meal. Just eat it when you wake up. Rest well at home and don't go to work. Our family doesn't need your work points. Got it?"

Xia Xizhi nodded obediently in a daze. The next second, he closed his eyes, tilted his head and fell asleep, snoring in a daze... like a kitten.

Lu Xiao smoothed her messy hair, raised the corners of his mouth, and said in a doting tone, "You are so good."

After pinching her chubby cheeks again, Lu Xiao got up and went out to lock the door for her, then picked up the hoe and went out.

It was already ten o'clock when Xia Xizhi woke up. After washing up and eating, he looked around the house.

In the cupboard, there are rice, flour, grain, oil, brown sugar, white sugar, milk candy, various canned meats, and two large bags of refined rice and white flour. There is no need to worry about not having enough to eat.

Various kinds of dried and pickled wild game, as well as fresh wild boar meat, are stored in a cool water cellar. It is estimated that they were hunted just in the past two days. There are also apples, red dates and other things that are rare in rural areas.

They are really rich. The food is better than that of people in the city.

Nowadays, even in the city, you can’t buy what you want to eat even if you have money.

Near noon, Xia Xizhi fried some shredded potatoes and made some braised pork. The ingredients for the braised pork were all found in the space kitchen. He also made some cornmeal pancakes and a tomato and egg soup.

When Lu Xiao came back, the last soup was just coming out of the pot.

Looking at the delicious meal, Lu Xiao was shocked. "Wife, you can cook?"

He had originally intended to get off work early and come back to cook for his young wife, but he didn't expect that she had already done it.

"What are you looking at? Go wash your hands and eat." Xia Xizhi said with a smile.

"Wife, did you do this?"

"Who else could it be if not me?" Xia Xizhi was lifted up by Lu Xiao's waist before he could finish his words.

"My wife, Lu Xiao, is extraordinary!"

"Oh, that's annoying. It's just cooking. Put me down quickly. It's not good if people see us." Passersby looked over here, and Xia Xizhi's ears turned red instantly.

Xia Jie, who was next door, heard Xia Xizhi's cute and angry voice, turned around and saw Lu Xiao holding Xia Xizhi without any hesitation. The warm midday sun shone on Xia Xizhi's beautiful face.

Such a beautiful Xia Xizhi seems to deserve all the love in the world.

Xia Jie was distracted for a moment, and then quickly looked away as if feeling guilty.

Someone passing by murmured, "She's really a vixen. Seducing men in broad daylight... It's immoral."

Someone followed up, saying, "What a waste! They just had meat from the wedding yesterday, and it looks like they're stewing it again today. What kind of family is this, eating like this? Tsk tsk, it's bound to be all squandered sooner or later."

Xia Xizhi felt a little embarrassed when he heard the voice, "Ahem, am I too wasteful?"

Lu Xiao held her in his arms.

"Don't listen to those gossipers! How can this be considered a family ruin? Is it because their own men are useless that eating a little meat is a family ruin?

Wife, do you like rabbit meat? I will go up the mountain tonight and get you some rabbit to eat."

Xia Xizhi shook his head. "The mountains are too dangerous. It's better to go there as little as possible."

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "It's not dangerous. I go there often. Don't worry, my wife. Your man is very capable."

......

The day passed quickly. When it was time to get off work, Lu Xiao had not returned yet, and Xia Jie suddenly knocked on the door.

When she opened the door and saw that it was Xia Jie, Xia Xizhi's expression turned from sunny to gloomy. He came to her suddenly, which must be no good.

Sure enough, the next second, Xia Jie said directly, "Lingling wrote to say that you took the Meng family's ruby ​​pen."

Xia Jie's face was very bad. "The Meng family has done their best for you. How could you take such an expensive pen with you when you left? How could you have the nerve to do that?"

Xia Xizhi smiled and interrupted Xia Jie, "I'm sorry, I saved an old man and gave him that pen. It wasn't from the Meng family."

Xia Jie didn't believe it at all. "Don't lie. Lingling said that the pen was an heirloom of the Meng family."

"Take it out quickly and return it. We don't allow thieves in our Xia family!" Xia Jie's face was very gloomy.

"Stop, stop, stop. She can say whatever she wants. If she has the guts, she can call the police. How can she not dare to call the police when it comes to such valuable things?

The police station actually registered my rescue of the old man, and even awarded me a medal for bravery." Xia Xizhi folded his arms and sneered.

Xia Jie paused. If this matter had alarmed the police station, it would be impossible to fake it... Maybe Lingling had misunderstood.

"Anyway, if it wasn't for the mistaken adoption, you wouldn't have had this opportunity if you weren't in the Meng family. This opportunity should have belonged to Lingling. Since Lingling wants it, then you can return it."

Xia Jie obviously no longer had the righteous look he had just now, but his face still looked very bad.

Xia Xizhi smiled speechlessly. At this moment, Lu Xiao, who had just returned from work, saw this scene from afar, quickened his pace and walked over to block Xia Xizhi.

His eyes narrowed, his face was cold and intimidating, and his tone was full of warning, "You bully my wife?"

Xia Jie paused. He had been afraid of Lu Xiao since he was a child, so he didn't dare to ask Xia Xizhi for a pen again. He snorted coldly and turned away.

When Xia Jie returned to the door, he happened to meet Su Yunuo who had just come out. He heard that she was going to look for Xia Xizhi.

Xia Jie said, "You'd better not get too close to her. She is very vicious."

Su Yunuo's originally calm expression turned serious in an instant.

"Xizhi is my friend, are you saying bad things about my friend in front of me?

Aren't you her biological brother? Why do you say that about her?

First of all, I am very grateful that you took me in, but I don’t allow you to say that about Xizhi. She is not the kind of person you said she is.

Secondly, I think it's very uncivilized of you to speak ill of others behind their backs. You have a problem with your character!"

Su Yunuo's voice was gentle, but her tone was firm.

Xia Jie didn't expect Su Yunuo to say that, his face flushed, "No, I'm just reminding you..."

Su Yunuo drooped the corners of his mouth.

"I don't need you to remind me. I have a good eye for who's good and who's bad, but you always side with your other sister. You hear everything about Xizhi from your other sister, and you jump to conclusions about her. Have you ever really tried to understand Xizhi?"

Xia Jie was a little anxious. "Lingling, what she said must be true. She never lies, really."

Su Yunuo's eyes turned cold: "So you still make a rash conclusion about your own sister based on the words of only one person. Am I wrong?"

Xia Jie was stunned. He had never thought that Meng Lingling would lie. Could she be lying? Xia Jie suddenly felt confused and couldn't sort it out...

In Beijing, Meng Lingling was trying on the latest clothes while thinking in her mind.

The letter should arrive today.

Her goal was to get the pen back if she could, but if she couldn't, Xia Xizhi's reluctance to hand it over would only deepen the rift between her and her biological parents and brother.

When she was entangled by the scoundrel, with no one to support her, you can imagine what would happen to her...

When the time comes and she is forced to follow those two hooligans, she will have plenty of opportunities to get the pen back.

Thinking of this, an expression of confidence in victory flashed across Meng Lingling's eyes.

Everything should be hers, including her fiancé Ning Yu!
