Chapter 36: Trading Rabbits for Rabbits.

After taking a bath, Xiao Wu was already sitting at the table in the living room.

With her thin black eyebrows, big eyes and long wet hair, she looked like a doll. She was holding her chin, staring at the door, waiting for Ye Qiu to come back.

Hearing the noise outside, Xiao Wu immediately stood up. Just as she was about to step out, she paused, looked at the door, and pursed her lips. "Ye Qiu, why did you take so long? I'm starving."

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes, looked at the little rabbit that had returned to its original state after taking a bath, and said unhappily, "I went to the village entrance to deliver food to Tang San."

Tap! Ye Qiu put two lunch boxes on the table and pushed one towards Xiao Wu.

"Here, let's eat."

"Thank you, Ye Qiu!"

Xiao Wu thanked him softly and opened the food box impatiently.

In an instant, his face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Ah——! Ye Qiu! How, how could this happen?!"

"Ouch~"

"Such noisy! Do you need to warm up your mouth before eating?" Ye Qiu frowned, raised his hand and knocked Xiao Wu's head, then looked at the food box.

I saw a fleshy rabbit leg in the lunch box.

"Ye Qiu, how come there is a rabbit?"

Xiao Wu covered her head with her hands, with a look of heartache and grievance on her face.

"Isn't it just a rabbit leg? I've seen so many of them on the streets. Is there any need to make such a fuss?" Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu and pushed his portion in front of her. "Take my portion."

Ye Qiu said this and opened his lunch box.

Xiao Wu just glanced at it, and the grievance in her eyes became even more intense, and she even wanted to squeeze out little pearls. She couldn't help but wail: "Ah! Sister Xiao Wu, can't eat these."

"Um?" Ye Qiu frowned and looked into the box, his eyes showing understanding. He saw that in addition to the rabbit legs, there was also a spicy rabbit head in the box.

He shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, you'd better not eat it. Just take two carrots to support it."

Xiao Wu propped herself on the table, leaned towards Ye Qiu, looked at him aggrievedly, and begged: "Ye Qiu, why don't you just throw away this meal?"

"Lost? Isn't that a waste? Isn't the rabbit dead in vain?" Ye Qiu, who possessed the virtue of diligence and thrift, frowned immediately.

"But. but." Xiao Wu hesitated, trotted to Ye Qiu's side, grabbed his arm, and said softly: "I, I will compensate you."

Ye Qiu raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Wu. He was not buying into Xiao Wu's tricks. "Compensate me, but you still owe me a lot of money. What are you going to give me to compensate me?"

"I, I can."

Xiao Wu bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, looking at Ye Qiu's boyish face, hesitantly.

"Okay, okay."

Ye Qiu didn't want to say anything more. Filling his stomach was the most important thing. He didn't even raise his head, but his hands were picking up the rabbit meat. "This meal can't be thrown away. I won't eat this rabbit meat."

"Ah"

Xiao Wu stared in surprise with her big round red eyes, and a deep surprise flashed in her eyes.

Ye Qiu turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu.

"Is it okay now?"

"Yes, yes!"

Xiao Wu nodded happily, pursed her red lips, and said coquettishly, "I'll make it up to you right away."

"Compensation? What kind of compensation?"

Ye Qiu raised his head and looked at the silly rabbit in surprise.

"Um?!"

As soon as he raised his head, Ye Qiu's eyes like black pearls vibrated, and his lips felt pink, warm and soft, and seemed to have a hint of sweetness.

The little rabbit in front of me was already blushing; its beautiful red eyes were rippling, its long eyelashes were gently fluttering, its pink and white rabbit ears were waving, its lips were slightly moving, and its earlobes and neck had become delicate and pretty.

Pah!

Ye Qiu came back to his senses, raised his hand and slapped Xiao Wu on the face, then stood up and pushed her away.

"Ah!" Xiao Wu screamed and stepped back, staggering and almost sitting on the ground.

"Silly rabbit, w-what are you doing?!"

Ye Qiu's young and innocent face couldn't help but get hot. Active and passive were two completely different feelings. He had never expected that Xiao Wu would use this method of compensation: exchanging rabbits for rabbits!

"I thought you liked this."

Xiao Wu tilted her neck, with a little doubt in her eyes and more shyness. She pursed her red lips, lowered her eyebrows and looked submissive, pinching the corner of her clothes.

"Who said that? I think you will like it! Otherwise, why would you do this?"

Ye Qiu wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at Xiao Wu in front of him with a strange expression. Even if he liked to do this, he couldn't do it at this time. 

"You, you're talking nonsense! I won't..." Xiao Wu jumped up and down when she heard Ye Qiu's words. She seemed to be touched by something. She blushed and couldn't speak. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You've bullied me before. Humph! Damn Ye Qiu! If you don't like me, forget it. Anyway, I've already compensated you!"

The words fell.

Xiao Wu walked into the bedroom, separated from the living room by a wall, with a huff.

The room seemed a little empty. The bed board that she had made wet had been moved out to dry in the sun by Ye Qiu. She had no choice but to find a stool and sit down.

Holding her hot little face, she felt extremely resentful, pouted her lips, frowned, and kept cursing Ye Qiu in a low voice. She had made a great decision.

Thinking of Ye Qiu, Xiaowu's scarlet eyes dimmed a little, and her red lips moved slightly. I don't know what she was thinking, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Does he dislike himself?

Ye Qiu wiped his lips, watched Xiao Wu walk into the room, and sat down again. Somehow, there was a slightly smug smile on his face.

…

It took a long time. Ye Qiu's lunchtime is almost over. Xiao Wu, who was sitting in the bedroom, touched her stomach. She was so hungry that she felt uncomfortable.

He looked around, stood up and walked to the door.

She said shyly. "Ye Qiu, where did you put the carrots you brought back? I'm hungry."

Ye Qiu raised his hand and pointed at the wall that separated the living room and the bedroom. "It's hanging there; take it yourself."

Xiao Wu looked at the cloth bag hanging on the wall, quickly took it down, took out the carrots from it, and washed them in the water tank. Then, she went back inside and glanced at Ye Qiu as she passed by. Seeing that Ye Qiu had almost finished eating, she returned to the table and sat down again.

As soon as Xiao Wu sat down, Ye Qiu stood up and walked out the door with two lunch boxes in his hands. He had to wash them and send them back.

Xiao Wu wrinkled her face, pursed her red lips, and looked at Ye Qiu in confusion.

Seeing Ye Qiu leave the door, he retracted his gaze, held the carrot in both hands, opened his mouth slightly, started from the tip, and slowly put it into his mouth. It tasted crunchy.

As he was biting the chewing gum, his eyes involuntarily looked towards the door.

When Ye Qiu came back after washing the lunch box, as soon as he entered the door, he found that Xiao Wu's eyes were a little evasive and her face was a little red.

"?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely, sat down at the table again, and asked in confusion, "Why are you always looking at me? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"I'm not always looking at you. Stop being so conceited." Xiao Wu bit the carrot in small bites, humming twice without even raising her head.

Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows.

"So, what do you want to tell me?!"

After waiting for a while, the only sound was the crisp sound of Xiao Wu chewing carrots. Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and knocked on the table impatiently.

Knock knock!

He said impatiently: "Do you have anything to say? If not, I will leave."

"Ye Qiu, can you not leave me?" Xiao Wu lowered her head and ate a carrot, her voice very soft.
