Chapter 391 The Hunter's Little Darling 52
Shuanzi's family originally came to Tu Shen's house to call for help.
There are only so many hunters in the mountains, and they should all be there for any happy occasion. They were there when Tu Shen got married before.
This time, Tu Shen asked his cousin to bring his gift money, but he himself did not go.
Tu Shen didn't even tell Xie Qingyu about this; there was no need for him to go.
He gets angry just thinking about Ma Erya, let alone letting Xie Qingyu see her again.
Even now, standing far away watching, he needs to support Xie Qingyu to feel at ease, as if he's afraid Ma Erya will cause trouble again.
Xie Qingyu was unaware of Tu Shen's thoughts; she was simply looking at the scene before her with a sense of novelty, something she had never even seen on her own wedding day.
There are many differences between getting married on a mountain and getting married down at home. For example, there will be some dances to express excitement.
Xie Qingyu didn't even know if this step was included at that time.
Tu Shen had been watching the group walk away when he looked down and saw Xie Qingyu still looking in the direction the group had left.
He sensed something was wrong and turned to look down into Xie Qingyu's eyes, but Xie Qingyu had already looked away the moment he looked at her, staring blankly ahead.
"Go back?" Tu Shen thought to himself that he was being delusional, and for a moment he even thought that Xie Qingyu could see him.
"Hmm." Xie Qingyu came over to take a look.
Tu Shen was supposed to go hunting in the mountains that day, but perhaps because of Ma Erya's wedding, he chose to stay and take care of Xie Qingyu.
However, Xie Qingyu felt that Tu Shen reacted even more strongly to Ma Erya's marriage than she did, and his mood was not good all day.
While Tu Shen was making dinner, Xie Qingyu finally found some time to ask the system a question.
"What is the mission completion rate? Has there been any recent fluctuation?" Xie Qingyu asked.
The system had probably been idle for a long time, and when it suddenly heard Xie Qingyu ask it a question, it was a little slow to answer.
The task is currently 90% complete, and there has been no decline in completion rate throughout the process.
Although the system didn't understand why Xie Qingyu suddenly asked this question, it still answered immediately.
The mission completion rate in this world has always been excellent, requiring almost no attention; it hasn't even given it much focus.
Xie Qingyu asked this question, and the answer was exactly what she expected.
Tu Shen was indeed in a bad mood, and it was because of Ma Erya's marriage, but it certainly wasn't for Ma Erya's sake.
Xie Qingyu boldly guessed that this was because of her.
Ma Erya didn't pay the price for this and even married well. Tu Shen felt that she hadn't received the punishment she deserved, but he didn't want to pursue the matter now.
When Xie Qingyu analyzed that this was the reason, she was somewhat surprised.
So she decided to reward Tu Shen.
Tu Shen himself was unaware of this matter, and even thought that he had hidden his depressed mood very well.
After he finished cooking dinner, he brought it to Xie Qingyu's side, handed her chopsticks as usual, placed the dishes in front of her, and then began to eat. During the meal, he kept putting meat into Xie Qingyu's bowl.
Xie Qingyu felt that all the weight she had lost during the time she stayed with Granny Xie had come back.
Throughout the meal, Tu Shen was most concerned about Xie Qingyu's eating situation. He barely ate anything himself. Only after Xie Qingyu finished eating and put down her chopsticks did he devour the remaining food and then boil water for Xie Qingyu to soak her feet.
While Xie Qingyu was soaking her feet, he went to wash the dishes. Finally, he washed his feet with Xie Qingyu's foot bath water before going to bed.
This is the usual order.
The order is the same for the beginning today, but it changes a bit towards the end.
While Tu Shen was washing the dishes, Xie Qingyu had already washed her feet and returned to her room.
After Tu Shen finished washing up, he tried to open the door but found it wouldn't budge.
A chill ran down his spine, and he asked in a low voice, "Why did they close the door? I haven't even gone in yet."
When Tu Shen speaks to Xie Qingyu, he unconsciously uses a coaxing tone, especially when he's in bed trying to coax her to do it again.
The tone of voice now is not much different from that time.
Xie Qingyu's voice came from inside, and it was clear that it was getting closer and closer.
Tu Shen assumed Xie Qingyu had come to open the door, so he stepped back slightly to wait.
They waited for a moment but didn't hear Xie Qingyu open the door.
"Whisper, open the door."
"You seem a little unhappy today?" Xie Qingyu's voice came from the doorway, clearly asking from the doorway.
Tu Shen immediately shook his head, "No."
Xie Qingyu remained silent for a while after hearing his denial, and did not speak.
It was during this period of silence that Tu Shen became somewhat flustered. "There is a little, but it's nothing serious."
Is it because of Ma Erya?
"Hmm." Tu Shen's voice was a little muffled. He should actually feel a little embarrassed that Xie Qingyu had revealed this fact. It's a grown man arguing with a woman, but he just couldn't get over it.
Moreover, admitting this fact to Xie Qingyu did not make him feel as embarrassed as he had imagined; on the contrary, he felt like he could tattle on her.
He doesn't acknowledge that this is dependency.
"You don't want her to get married?"
When Xie Qingyu asked this question, Tu Shen finally realized what she meant and panicked. "No, it's because she had the intention to harm you but nothing happened to her and she's even married now."
After Tu Shen finished speaking, fearing that Xie Qingyu would misunderstand, he pounded on the door.
Xie Qingyu was still planning to tease him first and had no intention of opening the door.
But Tu Shen outside was already getting anxious.
He wasn't bad with words, but at this moment he seemed to have difficulty speaking, fearing that if he spoke too late, Xie Qingyu would feel uncomfortable.
"Can you cheer up?" Xie Qingyu asked.
But as soon as she asked the question, there was complete silence outside. The person who had just been at the door seemed to have vanished without a sound.
Xie Qingyu was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment before reaching out to open the door, when she heard the sound of the door hitting the ground.
Looking back, they saw Tu Shen jump in through the window.
Tu Shen jumped in through the window. An oil lamp was lit in the small room, but the view inside made him reluctant to leave.
He stared intently at Xie Qingyu, as if his breath had stopped.
Xie Qingyu was startled when she turned around and saw him jump in, and instinctively covered her chest.
She was fine when she was still, but when she moved, the bright, white flesh on her chest swayed, almost piercing Tu Shen.
Xie Qingyu was not wearing any clothes, or rather, she didn't have any proper clothes; she only had a shawl on her body.
A light gauze shawl was wrapped around her chest and waist, with the rest hanging down naturally.
Her fair skin glowed with a soft sheen under the lamplight.
Tu Shen wondered if he was dreaming, because he couldn't feel any pain when he pinched himself.
"You..." Xie Qingyu's startled expression took on a different meaning in Tu Shen's eyes. He moved forward uncontrollably, eagerly and impatiently.
