Mu Wan looked at him quietly and thought of what he had just said. There was a crackling noise outside the window. It was raining, and her heart began to clamor.
“I’m not afraid it will hurt my hand.” Mu Wan said, “You are a doctor and can heal my injuries later.”
Liu Qianxiu looked up at her. She looked at him with determination in her beautiful eyes. Liu Qianxiu’s eyelids moved and released her wrist. He turned on the faucet, and the sound of the water overwhelmed the sound of rain outside the window. The rain made the air a little more humid. Under the light, it was a bit foggy and warm.
Mu Wan did not continue to wash the dishes. She leaned against the sink with a strong sense of presence. However, she was not abrupt, as if she had always been in his life.
Liu Qianxiu washed the bowl slowly.
After washing the dishes, he turned off the faucet, and the kitchen became quiet again, but the rain outside the window gradually became louder. Mu Wan looked out the window and said to Liu Qianxiu, “The rain is heavy. Can I wait until the rain stops before I get back home?”
After wiping his hands with a paper towel, Liu Qianxiu responded, “Alright.” Then, the two of them went out of the kitchen together.
Liu Qianxiu’s life is very regular. After eating and cleaning the kitchen, he will return to the living room to read a book or sit quietly. He opened a book, and Mu Wan also took one. This time, the title’s book was The Book of Changes.
But in just three minutes, Mu Wan looked away from the book.
This book is even more boring than The Book of Ethics.
Looking up at Liu Qianxiu, the table lamp sets off his outline more quietly. He looked down, and his eyelashes cast a half-circle of thin shadow on his lower eyelid. His dark eyes were full of concentration.
Mu Wan didn’t bother him, and she looked down at the book again. But within two seconds, she lifted her head up again this time. She looked at Liu Qianxiu first, then looked out the window, and finally at Zhou Yi, who walked towards her.
This Zhouyi is much more interesting than The Book of Changes she read. Mu Wan opened her eyes slightly, tilted her head, and her hands were hidden under the desk, two small gestures towards Zhou Yi.
“Come here.” Mu Wan used lip language to call Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi seemed to understand her intention. In its light golden eyes, the dark pupils shrank as it gradually approached Mu Wan, and it turned into a vertical pupil when Zhou Yi walked to Mu Wan’s side. Mu Wan raised her hand to touch it, but Zhou Yi jumped on her cross-legged lap and lay down.
“Ah.” Mu Wan said in surprise when the soft and furry body jumped onto her lap.
When she finished shouting, she looked up at Liu Qianxiu. The latter had been disturbed by her and looked up at her, too. Mu Wan turned her body back and pointed Zhou Yi on her leg at Liu Qianxiu with surprise in her eyes.
“Liu Qianxiu. Zhou Yi likes me.”
Zhou Yi is not close to people. He will only jump on him when it is boring. Liu Qianxiu put down the book in his hand, looked at Zhou Yi, who was lying on Mu Wan’s lap, and said, “Yeah.”
Mu Wan’s skin was white, while Zhou Yi’s fur was black. The black and white looked distinct, but there was a kind of harmony in it.
Since before eating, Zhou Yi had taken the initiative to let her touch its body, and now it took the lead to jump into her legs. Mu Wan’s happiness was like little wave after little spray.
Zhou Yi is adapting to and likes her, so Liu Qianxiu will be the same as Zhou Yi.
Mu Wan’s heart is in full bloom.
She laughed and reached out to touch Zhou Yi. Liu Qianxiu was also looking at it. When Mu Wan saw that he was no longer reading, she asked: “You don’t have to go to work tomorrow, do you? Can I come in the afternoon?”
After speaking, she felt she needed a solid reason to support her request. Then, Mu Wan thought about three small ones and used them as her reason.
“I haven’t seen them for a long time, so I want to accompany them more.” Mu Wan said.
His gaze shifted from Zhou Yi to Mu Wan’s face. Her body was straight, her slender arms connected to her thin shoulders, and her collarbone was more delicate and distinct in the shadow of the light. Like a fairy, she hid under the light, invading little by little.
“I have an appointment with a friend to play basketball together tomorrow afternoon.” Liu Qianxiu said.
Although it was not a direct refusal, it was considered polite. When Mu Wan heard that, the light in her eyes dimmed. She looked down at Zhou Yi, touched its head, and said, “Oh, alright then...”
“Send me a text before you come.” Liu Qianxiu added, “I’m not sure when it will be finished.”
Mu Wan looked up again.
Because of this sentence, she seemed to be happy a lot. The light in her eyes became brighter, the corners of her lips curled up, and she smiled as she watched him. The sound mixed with the sound of rain also became sweeter.
“Liu Qianxiu, you know how to play basketball!”
That’s the question now.

All along whenever MW visited LQX, he wasn't never seen do anything as the patriarch of the Liu of Xiacheng. Has he been delegating his responsible to Uncle Cai or someone else?
