Feng Yuqi woke up with a start and looked at Ye Zixi. She lowered her eyes and stared at his fist, her face full of worry.

A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and Feng Yuqi slowly spread out his palm. He raised his hand to rub the little girl's head, but suddenly worried that the blood on his hand would stain her hair.

Ye Ziqing heard the sound and ran out in a hurry. When she heard the word "blood", she was inexplicably a little scared, afraid that Feng Yuqi would hurt Ye Zixi.

The bloody palm stopped in mid-air.

It turned out that Feng Yuqi had injured his own hand. Ye Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Feng Yuqi staring at his palm with a gloomy face, Ye Ziqing hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went back into the room to continue wiping the window frames.

Ye Zixi took Feng Yuqi's hand and wiped it on her coat again and again. When the blood was gone, she held Feng Yuqi's big palm with both hands and put it to her mouth, puffing out her cheeks and blowing carefully.

"Zi Xi, blow it, Brother Qi Yu won't feel any pain!"

Ye Ziqing wiped the window while concentrating and listening to the noise outside.

She also wanted to go forward and take a look at Feng Yuqi's bleeding palm, but when she thought of Feng Yuqi's strange temper, she immediately gave up the idea.

Just as I was wondering what was wrong with Feng Yuqi, Ye Zixi's voice came from outside, "Wow!"

It seemed like the sound that Zi Xi habitually made when he kissed her cheek coquettishly!

Ye Ziqing couldn't believe it, and suddenly opened her eyes wide. Ye Zixi heard another voice. "Zixi loves Brother Qi Yu the most! But, Brother Qi Yu, you hugged me too tightly, it hurts a little!"

The handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground with a "pa" and Ye Ziqing rushed out in a few steps.

Zixi took a step back from Feng Yuqi's embrace, and then kissed Feng Yuqi's face with a "woooo". After the kiss, she stared at Feng Yuqi fearlessly and asked, "When Zixi grows up, can she marry Brother Qi Yu?"

Panic set in, and Ye Ziqing shouted, "Zixi!"

Feng Yuqi and Zixi turned around when they heard the voice.

For the first time ever, Zi Xi snorted at her in displeasure, as if she had some hostility towards her.

Feng Yuqi's eyes narrowed slightly, as deep as a cold pond...

Without waiting for her to take a closer look, he looked at her and said, "Don't even think about being my wife!"

"Hmph——" Zi Xi quickly took a few steps back, jumping up and down in anger.

Ye Ziqing swallowed her saliva, walked over a few steps and held Ye Zixi's hand. But the girl shook it off, glared at her, then turned to glare at Feng Yuqi, and walked into the hall angrily.

When Ye Ziqing saw Ye Zixi picking up the broom on the ground and waving it around, she was a little confused as to what was wrong with the little girl.

She turned around in confusion, and Feng Yuqi stared at Ye Zixi in the hall with his eyes and smiled dotingly.

Pamper?

Ye Ziqing was stunned.

Why did she feel that Feng Yuqi's smile was doting?

My impression is that he rarely laughs, unless you count his sneers.

Is this the magic of blood relationship?

Sighing in her heart, Ye Ziqing was about to turn around and go back to her room, but Feng Yuqi suddenly turned his gaze towards her, and the eyes that were staring at her turned cold in an instant.

Feeling panicked, Ye Ziqing quickly lowered her eyes and turned to go into the house.

She hurriedly picked up the handkerchief on the ground, exhaled a long breath, and calmed down after a while. She thought to herself: Stay away, stay away, stay away from Feng Yuqi.

After cleaning the windows, she lowered her head and went back to the kitchen. After lunch was ready, Feng Zihao and Lu Qingxi came back hand in hand.

It was already noon when the family finished their meal. After rushing to clean up the dishes, Ye Ziqing set off to Wangyou Pavilion early.

After playing the piano for the last time, she stood up and was about to pay the bill, when Shopkeeper Dong came over warmly again with the purse.

"This is the reward for you, young lady." He held it in both hands and handed it over, his attitude even more respectful than last time.

Ye Ziqing stepped aside and took it with both hands, "Thank you, Manager Dong."

The weight of the purse was obviously much heavier than the amount agreed upon before, so she hurriedly asked, "Did Manager Dong make a mistake?"

"That's right, in addition to the young lady's wages, there is also the silver as a thank-you gift that our boss entrusted to her when he left. You must give it to her."

"Our Dong family has been traveling all year round alone, and has made the world his home. He met the girl because of the piano. Thank you for not despising me and treating me like a friend. Dong family is very grateful and looks forward to meeting the girl again."

Shopkeeper Dong followed Su Changfeng's instructions, turned around and left quickly, ignoring Ye Ziqing's excuses.

Ye Ziqing had no choice but to leave Wangyou Pavilion with the heavy bag of money.

Under the cover of night, the sound of firecrackers rang out and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky above the streets.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Ye Ziqing did not rush home, but happily rushed into the traffic to buy gifts for her family.

When she returned home happily and pushed open the gate, she saw a figure standing upright in the yard with his back to the gate.

Looking closely, it was Feng Yuqi. He was staring at the hall, as if he was lost in thought.

Ye Ziqing closed the gate gently without him even turning back to look at her.

Ye Ziqing walked closer and looked in the direction of Feng Yuqi's sight out of curiosity.

The candlelight in the main room was warm. Her father was busy filling the incense burner in front of the Kitchen God statue. Her mother patted Ye Zixi's hand as she was eating secretly. Ye Zixi pouted and said something to her mother. Her mother smiled at her with a doting face...

A gust of cold wind blew and Ye Ziqing shivered with cold.

When she turned her eyes and looked at Feng Yuqi who was standing alone in the darkness, she felt that the back of the person looked lonely and desolate for some reason.

The tall figure was hidden in the courtyard, motionless, as if blending into the cold night.

For some reason, she felt sympathy and... a hint of guilt.

His biological father was in the house, and he had been with them for several months without any bad behavior. It must be for his father! She thought.

If it weren't for his mother and himself back then, he should be like Zixi, sitting beside his parents and enjoying the warmth of family love.

Because of them, his father abandoned him and his mother. He must be resentful towards them!

Ye Ziqing asked herself in her heart, what if it were me?

The answer is: I will hate it too!

The reason why she could call Feng Zihao "father" so naturally was because she hated the man who abandoned her and her mother.

Another gust of cold wind blew, and Ye Ziqing shivered again.

When she regained consciousness, she was surprised at her thoughts. She raised her hand and touched the purse in her arms, thinking that maybe there was silver and jade in it, which could drive him away. She had no scruples in her heart and could think freely.

I let out a long breath unconsciously.

There were too many things between her and Feng Yuqi.

In her previous life, she was so focused on liking him that she forgot that they were not suitable for each other at all.

Feng Yuqi looked at the warmth in the main hall that he had never experienced before, and tried hard to recall how he had spent the past nine years since his "father" left.

He recalled for a long time, but apart from loneliness and desolation, he seemed to have no impression at all...

Suddenly, he was startled by a sigh behind him. Feng Yuqi tensed up and turned around abruptly, only to find that the girl had been standing behind him without him noticing.

Suppressing the shock in his heart that he had not noticed it at the first time, Feng Yuqi shouted at Ye Ziqing who was stunned with displeasure on his face: "Standing behind me silently and acting like a ghost..."

The girl seemed to have come back to her senses after being yelled at by him. She no longer had her usual ugly expression on her face, but instead gave him a smile she had never given her before.

Feng Yuqi swallowed the words that were yet to come out, looked at Ye Ziqing's face with his eyes slightly narrowed.

What the hell is this girl up to?
