Chapter 76: If I Become the Little Wife, I Won’t Have to Get Out of Bed

“Xiaoxiao, do your best.”

Outside the door, Aunt Bing was happily cooking.

There was a reason for doing that just now, too.

Because sometimes her daughter would mention that girl at night, and their relationship seemed pretty good.

Letting that girl comfort her would also help deepen their friendship.

“Xiaoxiao?”

Xia Jifeng, busy until noon, came to the kitchen to see if there was anything he could help with and heard that familiar name.

“What’s wrong?”

“Xiaoxiao is the name of the friend who came recently, right? My daughter’s friend?”

“Yes, why? Her name is Su Xiaoxiao.”

Aunt Bing paused her movement with the spatula.

“Seems like she’s in the same class as Xiao Rou. You can check to confirm.”

“Yeah, I know her.”

Xia Jifeng walked to the cutting board and started slicing the meat that hadn’t been cut yet.

“But it’s nothing. Is she staying for lunch? I have something I want to ask her.”

“Don’t know. But don’t scare her off.”

“…”

Xia Jifeng kept his head down, working, but the memory of the person who claimed to be the girl’s brother on the phone last night left him with a bad feeling.

“I’m leaving.”

In the bedroom, Su Xiaoxiao was tired from playing.

Seeing Bingbing had recovered a bit, she put Little Orange back into Bingbing’s hands.

“Meow.”

Little Orange curled up in the girl’s arms, fighting Grey Cat for space.

“Mm.”

Xia Bingrou placed both cats on the table, then opened the door.

At that moment, Xia Jifeng was sitting on the Sofa, sipping Red Tea, watching the Daily News Broadcast on TV, looking every bit like someone who had retired.

Then he saw someone come in.

“Are you Su Xiaoxiao?”

Xia Jifeng stood up and walked to the girl’s side, wanting to ask about that so-called brother.

“Mm, hello, uncle…”

Su Xiaoxiao instinctively felt a little scared.

Or rather, she was afraid of middle-aged men in general.

After all, her old man used to hit her often.

“Xiaoxiao, are you staying for lunch?”

Aunt Bing came out from the kitchen, squeezing Xia Jifeng aside.

She whispered to him,

“With that fierce look, you’ll scare her. Let me handle it.”

“This is just how I look, what can I do…”

Xia Jifeng was at a loss for words, feeling uncomfortable inside.

“Eh, it’s okay. I have to go back to eat with my sister.”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the man behind Qin Qingxue (Xia Bingrou’s mother), who was still staring at her.

So scary, I want to run.

“By the way, playing with Bingbing and the cats earlier made me feel a bit better.”

“I see. Thank you, Xiaoxiao. I knew it was right to ask you.”

Qin Qingxue gently patted the girl’s head.

“Xiao Rou said it was the older sister upstairs. As expected, both sisters are so pretty.”

“Thank you for the compliment. Hehe…”

Su Xiaoxiao blushed shyly.

“Then I’ll go now.”

“Mm, bye-bye.”

Qin Qingxue walked her to the door to say goodbye.

“Come keep Xiao Rou company whenever you can.”

“I will, sister.”

Su Xiaoxiao gave Ice Sister a sweet smile, then quickly slipped away.

“Eh, I had something to ask her. Why did you just…”

Inside the room, Xia Jifeng followed after, wanting to say something but couldn’t get it out.

“You’re forbidden from leaving the room when she’s here.”

Qin Qingxue’s face darkened.

“Didn’t you see the girl was terrified of you?”

“…Fine.”

Xia Jifeng, feeling guilty, subconsciously took a step back.

“But it’s true, I have something to ask. Next time you see her, remember to ask her about her brother for me. Someone claiming to be her brother keeps calling and causing trouble.”

“Oh, someone’s bothering Xiaoxiao? I’ll message her about it later.”

Qin Qingxue finished speaking, walked past him to the outside of her daughter’s room.

“Xiao Rou, are you feeling better?”

“Fine. Next time, don’t call her over for this kind of thing.”

The girl inside replied coldly.

“Click.”

Qin Qingxue unlocked the door with a key and saw her daughter playing with the cat on the bed.

“Okay, okay, I won’t.”

This little brat.

She didn’t look unhappy at all.

“Come to mommy.”

“No.”

Qin Qingxue looked at her daughter’s familiar reaction, knowing what to do next.

“Again?”

“Meow.”

The orange cat jumped, knocking Grey Cat aside and clearing a path for the mother and daughter.

“There’s another exam this afternoon. Rest up.”

“Mm.”

Xia Bingrou, like many boys, liked the lap pillow of a girl—especially from someone she relied on.

It felt safe.

So, after this, it was a nice lunch break for her.

***

“Good thing the exam ended early, so I’m not late now!”

Su Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked into Sister Yu’s living room, feeling a bit lucky.

“She should be sleeping.”

She walked to the bedroom door, pressed her ear against it, and listened carefully.

No sound.

This Pig is sleeping.

Safe.

Su Xiaoxiao happily took some meat and vegetables from the fridge and went to the kitchen to cook.

“Should I just stay here during the holidays?”

She stood on the small stool, waving the spatula like usual, staring at the food in the pan in a daze.

Just stay from noon until night, go out to play when you want.

Otherwise, coming in the afternoon and again at night is a hassle—it’s almost a 20-minute walk one、way, 40 minutes round trip.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao remembered Sister Yao’s invitation to stay over.

“It’s okay to stay, but there are conditions.”

Suddenly, someone spoke behind her.

“Yikes!”

Su Xiaoxiao had been quietly cooking, and the voice startled her, even though it sounded nice.

“Geez, don’t always sneak up behind me like that.”

“If that scared you, it’s just because you’re timid.”

Yu Xueqin showed no intention of comforting her, only grinned mischievously.

“I’m way braver than you.”

Su Xiaoxiao retorted.

“By the way, what conditions did you mention about staying?”

To think there were conditions—did she want her to do more chores? That was no problem.

“As for the condition…”

Yu Xueqin lowered her voice, as if pondering deeply.

“You have to be official.”

“Official?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the pretty sister in Black Clothes behind her, puzzled.

Official about what?

Was it like switching electrical polarities? Did she need to adjust something?

“It’s your identity.”

Yu Xueqin reached out her slender finger and poked the little one’s soft cheek.

“You really have to be my wife. Otherwise, it’s dangerous to let someone who likes to attack me stay in my house all the time.”

“Attack…”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned by the words.

Was she… scared of her?

That meant she was pretty strong.

“Then won’t you be afraid I’ll attack you every day after I become official?”

The girl looked up innocently, her cute eyes blinking.

“No. Once you’re official, you won’t be able to get out of bed.”

?!

“Ah…”

After hearing that, Su Xiaoxiao’s thighs and waist went weak.

Damn, how could this be.

Is she… craving her body?

“If I can’t get relatable bed, then forget it… I won’t go official.”

“Up to you. Call me when the food’s ready.”

Yu Xueqin said coldly, but her face didn’t change.

“But not being official doesn’t mean you’ll be able to get out of。bed later.”
