Chapter 62
62 Fragrant Room
Su Xiaoxiao bent down and arrogantly looked at someone sitting on the small stool. “Yes! Did you just realize?”
Wei Ting took a deep breath and used the same trick. “Dad, Daya bullied me.”
Su Xiaoxiao said in a second, “Dad, if he doesn’t do it, you can grind the rest. Dad, you grind it!”
Su Cheng decisively cut off his son-in-law and said, “Son-in-law, actually, I also think that the peanuts are more fragrant when you grind them this way. Make more!”
Wei Ting was speechless.
Wei Ting realized that when it came to working, this cheap father-in-law was unreliable.
The three little ones began to rub their eyes.
“The children are sleepy,” Father Su said to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao put down the spoon and looked at the three of them. “Are you going to sleep?”
The three of them shook their heads.
Dahu said, “I don’t want to sleep.”
Erhu yawned. “I want to play.”
It was midnight!
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaohu. “What about you?”
Xiaohu didn’t say anything and just stretched out his arm toward Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao picked the little fellow up.
Xiaohu fell asleep in her arms.
Immediately after, Dahu and Erhu could not hold on anymore. They swayed as they walked. Father Su and Su Ergou carried the sleepy children back to the house.
“I want to play,” Erhu said.
And fell asleep.
Dahu was more tenacious and lasted until he entered the central room.
After pointing out Su Xiaoxiao’s room to Su Ergou, he fell asleep.
In the kitchen, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting continued their peanut butter business.
Halfway through, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly had an idea. She took out the stir-fried sesame seeds from the cupboard and added them to Wei Ting’s mortar.
Wei Ting frowned.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Sesame is more fragrant if it’s ground. However, you’re strong, so it shouldn’t be bad! This is called… sesame peanut butter!”
Wei Ting glanced at her and did not want to speak at all.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Ah, right, we can make a bowl of sesame sauce!”
Wei Ting placed the stone pestle on the mortal. “Are you done?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “No!”
It was not easy for her to discover that he had such skills. Of course, she had to make the best use of it.
Wei Ting was indeed a martial artist. His control of strength was perfect. It was as thin as it could be. The sesame sauce he stirred was really no different from one that was made using a grinding stone.
As Su Xiaoxiao fried the peanuts, she hummed a tune. Wei Ting looked at her happy expression and really did not understand what there was to enjoy.
Wei Ting’s physique was too strong, and he could last much longer than Su Xiaoxiao. In the end, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t take it anymore and decided to do the rest tomorrow.
Tomorrow was the day to go to town to check on Young Master Xiang. Before falling asleep, Su Xiaoxiao packed the medicine she needed into the first aid kit and checked the token in the invisible compartment.
This compartment was well hidden. Those who did not know about first aid kits would not be able to find it.
In the central room, Wei Ting was shrouded in darkness. He saw all of this through the crack of the door.
No wonder he couldn’t find it. She had hidden it in that strange little bundle.
Su Xiaoxiao placed the first-aid bag on the bed and closed her eyes to sleep.
Wei Ting waited until he heard her even breathing in the room before gently pushing open the door and coming to the bed.
Su Xiaoxiao rolled over and placed a chubby arm on the first-aid bag.
Wei Ting frowned and reached out with his slender hand. As he pulled open the blanket, he carefully held her chubby arm.
Su Xiaoxiao had just taken a shower and her body was soft and warm. The moment she touched his cold fingertips, she woke up!
The tall figure was inches away. The warm breath in the night was infinitely magnified, not to mention the cold touch on her arm.
Someone was there!
Alarm bells rang in her heart!
Wei Ting knew martial arts, but Su Xiaoxiao’s sudden awakening made him feel guilty. He was subconsciously stunned.
But it was only for a moment.
Anyway, it was so dark at night, so she probably didn’t see it clearly. When she asked, she only said that she was dreaming again.
Unexpectedly, just as he moved, Su Xiaoxiao whispered, “Wei Ting?”
Wei Ting’s body stiffened.
“Is it really you?” Su Xiaoxiao spoke again, this time with certainty.
Wei Ting was stunned.
He could not see his fingers. He did not say anything. How did this girl recognize him?
Wei Ting started the second time tonight. “You are dreaming…”
Su Xiaoxiao said fiercely without thinking, “You’re the one dreaming! I’m very awake!”
Su Xiaoxiao was indeed very awake tonight. She had to go for a follow-up tomorrow. With the lesson she had learned from sleeping too much, she didn’t let herself get sleepy tonight.
In addition, Wei Ting’s hand was so cold, it very refreshing to touch.
“Wait.” Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Wei Ting’s wrist, causing Wei Ting, who was about to get up, to lean on her again.
To avoid touching her, he tried to prop himself up on his elbows.
Su Xiaoxiao was not a thin beauty like Su Jinniang. She was a little fatty.
Wei Ting closed his eyes and raised his body, but he still inevitably touched a soft spot.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what he was going through. She thought of something and her expression became serious.
“I didn’t dream it last time, did I?”
“You did,” Wei Ting said righteously.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You didn’t even ask me which time and what dream!”
Wei Ting was speechless.
Should he have flipped through the almanac before getting up today?
Su Xiaoxiao looked pained. “Alright! I didn’t expect you to be such a person!”
“What kind of person am I? Don’t misunderstand!” Wei Ting found it difficult to explain.
Su Xiaoxiao chuckled. “I misunderstood? I caught you red-handed! How dare you quibble!”
“It’s not what you think!” Wei Ting had a headache.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes were cold. “Then what? You’ve been caught twice! Also! I think you were very firm with your actions!”
“That’s because you-”
Wei Ting looked down and quickly looked away, swallowing the words in his mouth.
He flushed and said, “Let go of me and let me up!”
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed his wrist tightly. “Don’t think I don’t know. You won’t admit it if I let you go! You’re not allowed to leave until you make yourself clear!”
At this point, in order to prove his innocence, Wei Ting could only be honest.
“I’m looking for the token! Who asked you to take my token and not return it to me? I can only come and take it myself!”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “It’s theft if you don’t ask!”
Wei Ting gritted his teeth. “That’s my own thing!”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked as she thought about the validity of his words. “You’ve been freeloading on me! Your token is mine!”
Wei Ting said calmly, “I didn’t agree to pay you.”
Su Xiaoxiao said fiercely and domineeringly, “It… it has to be the same! Between you and the token, choose one to give me!”
Wei Ting said, “Me.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
