Chapter 119 Responding to the Wife's Call
Chapter 119 Responding to the Wife's Call
The night was deep, and moonlight shone through the half-open window onto the floor of the room, creating dappled light and shadow.
When Qi Yuxuan returned to the room, Yun Feiyang was already fast asleep.
He quietly closed the door, trying not to make a sound, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed.
The day's busyness and tension left him feeling somewhat exhausted, but he also felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
Thinking of his kiss with Qiu Ziyue, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
He drifted off to sleep after an unknown amount of time.
In his dream, he returned to the scene where he made the bet with Qiu Ziyue; everything felt so abrupt and beautiful.
Suddenly, the scene in the dream changed.
He and Qiu Ziyue stood in a sea of flowers, surrounded by blooming peach blossoms, with a faint fragrance filling the air.
Qiu Ziyue, dressed in a light purple dress, smiled sweetly as she gazed at him tenderly.
"Twilight Sparkle..."
Qi Yuxuan called softly, reaching out to touch her face.
However, at that moment, he suddenly felt someone pushing him.
Qi Yuxuan suddenly woke up from his dream, opened his eyes, and found himself still lying in the room.
He was slightly out of breath, his heart was racing, and the images from his dream still lingered in his mind.
Yun Feiyang was already fast asleep, but he gradually woke up to Qi Yuxuan's sleep-talking.
Hearing Qi Yuxuan call out "Zi Yue" in his dream, he couldn't help but smile and secretly chuckle to himself.
"Young Valley Master, he even dreams about Twilight Sparkle."
Yun Feiyang muttered something softly, but felt a warmth in his heart.
He knew that Qi Yuxuan's feelings for Qiu Ziyue had long surpassed those of ordinary friends.
He was also envious and moved by this pure emotion.
Qi Yuxuan adjusted his breathing, trying to calm himself down.
He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep again.
This time, his dream became peaceful, without the previous turmoil. He simply lay quietly in his warm bed, feeling the tranquility of the night.
The next morning, Qiu Ziyue rubbed her eyes, stretched, and sat up in bed, feeling refreshed.
It's a beautiful day, and she decided to encourage everyone to do something exciting together.
Qiu Ziyue quickly finished washing up and put on some light clothes.
She called out excitedly, "Qingluo, Xuer, wake up! The weather is so nice today, let's go on an adventure!"
Infected by Qiu Ziyue's enthusiasm, Liu Qingluo and Liu Xu put down their bowls and chopsticks, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes.
Liu Qingluo smiled and asked, "Sister Ziyue, what kind of adventure are you talking about? It's not too dangerous, is it?"
Qiu Ziyue smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, it won't be too dangerous, but it will definitely be a lot of fun!"
The three quickly packed their belongings and hurriedly woke up Qi Yuxuan, Yun Feiyang, and their three senior brothers.
"Twilight Sparkle, what new tricks do you have up your sleeve this time?"
Qi Yuxuan asked with a smile. Ever since his relationship with Qiu Ziyue had become closer, he was now actively responding to the call of his betting wife.
Qiu Ziyue laughed smugly, "You'll find out soon enough, I guarantee it will be an eye-opener for you!"
The summer sun is bright and warm, and a gentle breeze carries the fragrance of fruit.
The group arrived at an orchard, where the fruit trees were laden with ripe fruit: bright red apples, golden pears, and lush green grapes, making their mouths water.
Although it is a chaotic time, we are blessed with good weather, with plenty of rain and strong sunshine, and the wild fruits in the orchard are growing well.
Qiu Ziyue led the way into the orchard, and everyone picked up baskets and began their fruit-picking journey.
Wow, there are so many fruits here!
Liu Qingluo shouted excitedly as she quickly found a tree laden with wild apples and began picking them.
Not to be outdone, Liu Xu found a pear tree and picked fruit while humming a little tune.
Yun Feiyang and his three senior brothers were also busy picking fruit together.
Qiu Ziyue carried a small basket and ran around under the tree, occasionally stopping to observe the small creatures on the tree.
Suddenly, she saw a caterpillar, and without hesitation, she plucked it from the tree and reached out to touch it.
Qi Yuxuan happened to witness this scene, and he was quite surprised.
"Twilight Sparkle, aren't you afraid of caterpillars?"
Qiu Ziyue looked up and replied with a smile, "Big ice block, caterpillars are actually quite cute, they feel soft and fluffy to the touch."
Qi Yuxuan was stunned. He recalled the times he played with Qiu Ziyue when he was a child.
Tao Ling'er was terrified of caterpillars back then, and would scream whenever she saw one.
Now, Qiu Ziyue is not only unafraid of caterpillars, but can also calmly touch them, which he finds incredible.
Qi Yuxuan walked over to Qiu Ziyue and watched her intently picking fruit, a mix of complex emotions welling up inside him.
He asked gently, "Ziyue, weren't you terrified of caterpillars when you were little? How come you're not afraid of them at all now?"
Qiu Ziyue stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Qi Yuxuan.
She smiled and said, "Yes, I was really afraid of caterpillars when I was little. But I gradually learned to face them and found that they are not so scary after all."
Qi Yuxuan nodded, but the doubts in his heart did not completely disappear.
He thought of Tao Ling'er when she was a child, gentle and reserved, timid and cowardly, while Qiu Ziyue now was lively, cheerful, brave and fearless.
“Ziyue, sometimes I feel that you are nothing like Tao Ling’er when she was a child.”
Qi Yuxuan said frankly.
Qiu Ziyue paused for a moment, then laughed: "Big Ice Cube, do you prefer Tao Ling'er when she was little, or Qiu Ziyue now?"
Qi Yuxuan said, "Of course, it's you now."
Upon hearing this, a hint of emotion flashed in Qiu Ziyue's eyes.
She said softly, "Big ice block, everyone grows up."
"I was no exception. I was indeed very timid when I was a child, but as time went by, I learned to face my fears. Perhaps this is what growing up is all about."
Qi Yuxuan nodded, feeling a warmth in his heart.
Then she added, "Ziyue, can you please stop calling me Big Ice Cube? You can call me by my name, you used to call me Brother Xuan when we were little."
"Tch, who told you to always bully me and call me a female demon? And besides, that 'Brother Xuan' thing is Qi Yushuang's exclusive right, what does it have to do with me?"
"You're here again. We weren't familiar with each other before."
"So what if I call you Qi the Ice Cube? What's wrong with that?"
"Okay, you can call me whatever you want, just don't ignore me."
"How about I call you Little Dog?"
"That won't do."
Qi Yuxuan flicked Qiu Ziyue's nose.
"Haha, come on, chase me!" Qiu Ziyue said.
Qi Yuxuan took off running and started chasing Qiu Ziyue around the tree.
"Twilight Sparkle, slow down!"
Go ahead and chase after him.
The two kept laughing, which infuriated their three senior brothers.
Qiu Langyu said, "Junior sister has fallen for someone else and is ignoring Lu Yuanchangming and us."
Qiu Wentian said, "You guys didn't realize that Junior Sister really likes Qi the Ice Cube."
"Maybe so, I've never seen my junior sister so happy before," Qiu Wenfeng added.
Liu Xu, Liu Qingluo, and Yun Feiyang chatted and joked with each other as they picked fruit.
After two incense sticks had burned, everyone's baskets were full.
Looking at the basket full of fruit, Qiu Ziyue's face beamed with satisfaction: "We've had a really bumper harvest today!"
Qi Yuxuan also said with a smile, "Yes, these fruits will be enough for us to eat for several days."
After picking the fruit, everyone found a shady spot, spread out a picnic blanket, took out the food, water, and wine they had brought, and began their picnic.
Qiu Ziyue and Liu Qingluo took out the freshly picked fruit, washed it, and distributed it to everyone.
"Try this apple, it's especially sweet." Qiu Ziyue handed Qi Yuxuan a large apple. Qi Yuxuan took a bite, and it was indeed incredibly sweet.
He exclaimed, "It's delicious, Twilight Sparkle! You chose a really good fruit."
"Chase him! Hurry and chase him! Don't let him get away!"
While the group was happily eating fruit, they suddenly saw a group of soldiers chasing after a beggar.
