Xiao Qi, Wait!

Chapter 10: Xiaoqi, Don't Go Past The Walls

Official Song wasn't just joking around when he said he was going to build a dam. Lately, he had truly been busy. He was gone without a trace by dawn and only returned after six in the evening.

Qian Xiaoqi had a tank of goldfish she could angle. Wen Ruoshui, on the other hand, was devastatingly bored.

Wen Ruoshui envied Qian Xiaoqi a lot and Qian Xiaoqi knew. Xiaoqi could feel it from her eyes.

Qian Xiaoqi ignored Wen Ruoshui who was standing nearby and staring at her impatiently. With one hand hugging Ha Pi and the other grasping a self-made branch fishing rod, Xiaoqi sat carefreely on the couch next to the large tank. Behind her was Lu Liu who was on standby to help Xiaoqi put fish food on the hook.

"Qian Xiaoqi, you're too free and unfettered. Zhuo gege2 has to leave early and return late every day you should prepare food and drink for him and wait for him to come back." Wen Ruoshui didn't have anything to say so she dug up something random to say.

(2) 哥哥 – "ge ge" older brother, can be used to address someone not blood related

Qian Xiaoqi didn't even lift her eyelid.

"Qian Xiaoqi, acting like this, you really don't suit being Zhuo gege's wife. You, you're, you're too, too, you know how to enjoy life waaaay too much."

Qian Xiaoqi laughed 'hehe'. Behind her, Lu Liu also laughed. Wen Ruoshui's face turned red. She had originally planned to scold some more, but when she saw Qian Xiaoqi lift the pole, she hurriedly looked over.

"Eh, why is it a straight hook?" Wen Ruoshui questioned.

"Tsk, what if I tore the mouths of the red carps with the hook? It's not like I know how to fix it!"

Wen Ruoshui batted her eyes. "Then let me play for a while."

Qian Xiaoqi thought about it, then also batted her eyes as she said: "Ruoshui jiejie, why don't we go out to listen to book-telling? It's really exciting."

"Book-telling? Like an opera performance?"

"Pretty much."

Qian Xiaoqi was very proud of her own suggestion. How long has it been since she had gone out? Who could blame her for wanting to go out and look around?

"Is it pleasant to hear?"

"It's pleasant. Stories are told and there's all kinds of stories."

Qian Xiaoqi saw that Wen Ruoshui was interested and said with a smile, "Official Song won't let me run all over the place, but he definitely won't scold Ruoshui jiejie. Jiejie, come with me to have a stroll outside together. We'll hurry back early, Official Song definitely won't find out. Even if does he find out, he still wouldn't scold Ruoshui jiejie. Wouldn't it be much more fun compared to staying inside the courtyard with nothing to do?"

Wen Ruoshui pouted. "I don't have money, you'll have to treat me."

Qian Xiaoqi vigorously nodded and leaned the fishing rod vertically to one side. She lifted her hands to pass Ha Pi to Lu Liu, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "We better leave Ha Pi home after all."

Qian Xiaoqi went to get some money from her own treasure chest while Lu Liu took out two male outfits that she and Xiaoqi often use. After reflecting, she also got one for Wen Ruoshui.

Wen Ruoshui seemed a bit excited as she looked at the man's outfit in her hands. "Xiaoqi, how come you have something like this?"

Qian Xiaoqi silently laughed. "I don't know, perhaps it's for backup."
