Chapter 32: Official, Too Warmhearted

Lu Liu scratched her chin and said: “Miss shouldn’t get too close with that Wang gongzi. The number of times you encounter each other is also a bit too much, who knows what kind of person he is? Miss is already married!”
Xiao Qi pouted: “I’m not pretty and he doesn’t have that intention.”
Lu Liu patted her own cheeks and leaned her head forward as she asked: “Miss, tell me, am I pretty?”
Xiao Qi blinked and looked over, then nodded and said: “Very pretty. I like soft pouty faces.”
Lu Liu curled her lips: “Even the ugliest people will look attractive to some people, don’t you agree?”
Xiao Qi nodded. A moment later she fiercely shot a glare at Lu Liu and said: “I’m not that ugly either.”
Lu Liu laughed ‘hehe’ and then cast a glance at Cai Yun that was not that far away and lowered her voice as she asked: “Is Miss returning?”
“The doctor said I should prepare mugwort. I have to wait until they finish talking to find out how much. Also, Big Brother Lu said Official Song will be coming back in a bit.”
Lu Liu got a gauze hat and helped her put it on as she exhorted: “Miss has to listen to Advisor Lu and obediently wait for guye to return. I’ll return first with lady Cai Yun and fetch some other stuff before coming back.”
Xiao Qi tilted her head as she watched Lu Liu jump onto the carriage and leave, then mumbled: “Am I really dumb? Everyone’s always giving me such careful warnings!”
Xiao Qi sat to a side of the shack, bored. Leaning against a pillar she started thinking about Song Liang Zhuo again, no, she’s thinking of Song Liang Zhuo’s behavior. Xiao Qi’s eyes squinted as she giggled ‘hehe’. From that time when she had the fever, Song Liang Zhuo never fought over the bed with her, but before going to sleep he would always go to the bedside to take a look at her. Once, she even purposefully kicked the blanket onto the floor but Song Liang Zhuo still didn’t get angry, he just quietly moved to help cover her up again. Heehee, and he even secretly stroked her face.
Xiao Qi’s eyes squinted as she raised her hand to touch her own cheeks. Turning around, she looked at the people that were starting to build houses and thought as she yawned, Official Song is sure capable, he’s so busy yet he still wakes up early everyday to buy her breakfast. Xiao Qi knitted her brows and then thought, could it be that Official Song is planning something again?
Xiao Qi felt, right now, Song Liang Zhuo and her were like a cat and dog a family was raising, and that kitten was precisely her. The moment the puppy gets fierce she could only curl up into a ball and pathetically look at him. When the puppy is not fierce, her heart would itch with the desire to poke him. If he’s not fierce towards her she would be happy to the point the skies lit up; if he is fierce towards her, at most he was only baring his teeth and wouldn’t really expose his claws to scratch her.
“Heehee, Official Song is a puppy!” Xiao Qi squeezed her eyes shut as she shook her head, entirely free from worry.
Xiao Qi had a dream, in that dream Song Liang Zhuo became the dream husband Xiao Qi always desired. Xiao Qi gave him a smack and he voluntarily offered his other cheek for her to slap; Xiao Qi gave him a kick and he lifted his buttocks and squatted down for her to conveniently kick; he even carried rice and chased after Xiao Qi to coax her to eat; he even stopped fighting over the bed with her, at night he slept while hugging her and even told her stories. Heehee, and even kissed her!
Song Liang Zhuo really did come, along with Meng Yun Fei.
Xiao Qi drowsy watched Song Liang Zhuo walk over and couldn’t hold back from grinning. Song Liang Zhuo couched down and touched Xiao Qi’s forehead. Knitting his brows, he gently asked: “Are you sleepy? Why didn’t you go home?”
Xiao Qi drew back the corners of her mouth and smiled, shaking her head. She thought, the Official Song in her dream was perfect in every way. Everything he said was in a soft, gentle voice. Heehee, like a young married woman.
Xiao Qi smiled and raised her hand, two palms ruthlessly slapped onto Song Liang Zhuo’s two cheeks. She wanted to see if he would lean forward to let her add a purple eye.
The two ‘slap’ sounds mixed into one and the sound of it became a lot more violent. Song Liang Zhuo knitted his brows with pain, but his eyes that looked towards Xiao Qi contained more concern than anger. Ever since she had the fever, her behavior had always been strange.
Meng Yun Fei who was behind him first covered his mouth and lightly coughed. Seeing Song Liang Zhuo and Xiao Qi stare at each other motionless with their eyes wide, in the end he couldn’t hold it in anymore and started laughing.
Xiao Qi unhurriedly looked over. She blinked in incomprehension towards Meng Yun Fei who was doubling over laughing, then retrieving her gaze she looked for a while at the person in front of her. Her heart flipped and with a ‘whoosh’ she withdrew her hand.
Xiao Qi took a deep breath and forced a smile: “Official Song, when did you arrive?”
Song Liang Zhuo reached out to feel Xiao Qi’s forehead. Xiao Qi was frightened and shut her eyes, shrinking her neck back. Song Liang Zhuo’s hand pressed against her forehead for a while, then he said with a frown: “Is Xiao Qi not feeling well?”
“Ah!” Xiao Qi nodded repeatedly: “Not feeling well.”
“Then Xiao Qi should go home. Once I finish working I’ll also go back.”
Song Liang Zhuo pulled Xiao Qi up. Xiao Qi shot a glance at his cheeks that were slapped red by her and shook her head: “I still have to stay and help.”
“I’ll send someone to help.” Song Liang Zhuo pulled Xiao Qi as he walked towards the carriage.
Xiao Qi felt guilty. Lying to people is always wrong, and it was even purposefully lying to escape from blame after hitting someone. Xiao Qi tugged at her hand and said quietly: “Official Song, I don’t feel unwell.”
“Hm?”
Xiao Qi glanced over again, seeing that Meng Yun Fei didn’t look over, she lifted her hand to rub Song Liang Zhuo’s face and said: “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Song Liang Zhuo froze for a moment, but still carried her up the carriage: “Head home first, take a nap.”
Xiao Qi pouted as she got into the carriage. When the carriage started moving wobbly, she couldn’t hold back and angrily humphed: “Official Song is seriously petty, getting angry again.”
Xiao Qi lifted open the curtain to look behind her. Seeing Song Liang Zhuo was still standing there watching the carriage, she stuck out her tongue and pulled her head back in. After thinking about it, she started smiling again.
