What should I do if I pledge my life to save a fox?

Are these...scales?

The sunflower fan caresses the brooch, and the color of the scales is well preserved!

Kui Shan looked at the brooch carefully, and the anger he felt just now had long since disappeared.

For now, forgive him for not making any news for so many days!

Kui Shan put the brooch away and lay on the bed, covering her face happily.

Brother Qing will give himself gifts!

Kuishan suddenly smelled a familiar smell. This was... the smell of Xiao Youqing's pheromones!

Kui Shan smelled her hand uncertainly, and then realized that it was a brooch. She took out the brooch and smelled it close.

Indeed, a very light taste.

However, the scales that the mermaid naturally sheds will not be contaminated with the smell of pheromones, unless... they are pulled off!

Even if things are stained with blood, even if they are washed, the smell of pheromones will remain, and it will remain for a long time!

Kuishan's hand holding the brooch trembled a little, and she ran out of the room and asked the servant to chase Xiao Youqing, who had left shortly.

Kui Shan held the brooch in her hand and sat on the sofa waiting for the servant to come back.

Xiao Youqing didn't go far. Hearing that Kui Shan was willing to see him, he quickly followed the servant back.

Kuishan looked at Xiao Youqing, asked the servant to go out, and was alone with Xiao Youqing in the living room.

As all the servants left, Kui Shan threw out the brooch in his hand.

Xiao Youqing's pupils dilated and she picked up the brooch: "Don't you like it?"

"I don't like it!" Kui Shan looked at Xiao Youqing, wanting to see where he had pulled out the scales.

"Then...I'm sorry, I don't know what you like, so I made this for you." Xiao Youqing looked down at the brooch.

"I don't need it!" Kui Shan said coldly.

Xiao Youqing thought about it and realized that she was right, the sunflower fan was indeed not needed. What kind of exquisite brooch had he not seen before?

It's because I'm being sentimental.

"Sorry……"

Kui Shan's face was full of irritation, and she was sorry!

"Can you tell me what you like? I want to... give you a gift." Xiao Youqing asked cautiously.

"You want to chase me, but you don't even know what I like?" Kui Shan chuckled.

Xiao Youqing also knew that his question was ridiculous.

But he was afraid of screwing up again...

"Then I'd like to invite you to dinner, is that okay?" Xiao Youqing looked at Kui Shan.

"No time." Kui fanned her head without raising her head.

"It doesn't matter. Come if you have time. If you don't have time, I'll wait for you." Xiao Youqing said, "Tomorrow, the same place."

Kuishan said nothing, Xiao Youqing took the brooch and turned to leave.

Hearing the sound of Xiao Youqing leaving, Kui Shan raised his head and looked at his back.

……

Xiao Youqing sat in their "old place" for a whole day and didn't wait for Kui Shan.

Immediately afterwards, rumors spread.

"Xiao Youqing was given up by Kui Shan?"

"I think it's 80% likely."

"Oh, I passed by yesterday, that poor thing!"

"Let him have high ambitions but low ambitions. He likes the little prince and wears the sunflower fan. Now that the little prince is married, the sunflower fan doesn't want him anymore!"

"I heard from my cousin that Xiao Youqing gave Kui Shan a small gift the day before yesterday, but Kui Shan threw it out."

"Who is your cousin?"

"A servant of the Aoi Ogi family."

"Is the news true?"

"How can it be fake?!"

"Oh, tell me, why should he do it? A good hand of cards is so bad!"

……

Kui Shan heard the gossip outside. He originally wanted to go yesterday afternoon, but then he thought about it. He had waited for Xiao Youqing before, so what if he had to wait a little longer.

Then I lay on the bed, fell asleep accidentally, and woke up in the middle of the night...

Unexpectedly, he waited for a whole day.

Kuishan felt inexplicably weak, and then contacted Yu Muhuai through Shui Jing.

Yu Muhuai suggested that he go to Tushan to find him. It was just before the New Year, and there were so many Tushan markets, temple fairs, etc.!

During this time, many people from other clans in Tushan would go and communicate.

Kuishan thought for a while, packed her things, and went to Tushan to find Yu Muhuai.

The patriarch's wife was particularly fond of Kui Shan when she saw him, and pulled Kui Shan to introduce him to a partner.

Yu Muhuai couldn't stop him.

"Auntie, I have someone I like." Kui Shan really had no choice.

"Are they also from your mermaid tribe? Are you not considering our fox tribe? Or from other tribes? Auntie knows many young talents!" The patriarch's wife likes to introduce partners to the juniors every festival.

Bai Huaijing didn't come back very often before, and she would run away within two days of coming back.

"No, thank you, auntie." Kui Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Yu Muhuai sat aside, eating the winter dates that Bai Huaijing picked for him in the back mountain. They were crunchy and sweet!

The patriarch's wife did not stay long. After leaving, Kui Shan lay on the table and exhaled deeply.

"Baby Huai, your mother-in-law is so enthusiastic!"

"Okay, I think she's right. Are you really not considering it?" Yu Muhuai asked.

"I...brother Qing said he liked me the day you left, but I didn't agree." Kui Shan said.

Yu Muhuai's eyes lit up, and his spirit of gossip ignited: "Why?"

"Nothing, just..."

"Yes, you shouldn't agree so easily!" Yu Muhuai nodded without listening to Kui Shan's words.

"Since then, Brother Qing has said that he wants to chase me and follows me every day. If I don't let him follow, he will give me a brooch made of his scales. They are not peeled off scales, but plucked raw. …”

"I was quite happy at first, but when I smelled his pheromones on the brooch, I realized something was wrong, so I called him back and threw the brooch back to him..."

"Then he invited me to dinner again. I overslept and didn't keep the appointment, which caused him to be gossiped about. I didn't know how to face him, so I came to find you." Kuishan summarized the events of the past few days and told Yu Muhuai.

Yu Muhuai Zao stopped eating and listened to him with a frown.

"It's exactly what Brother Jing said, you two have to torture each other for at least a while!"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Kui Shan was a little confused.

"My husband has long said that there is a lot of trouble between you." Yu Muhuai stuffed another winter date in his mouth, "Don't think about it. Since you came to my place, let's have fun for a few days first. It’s enough, go back and fight with your brother Qing! Come, eat a date, it’s super sweet!”

Kuishan nodded, and before she had eaten a few dates, she saw Bai Huaijing coming with a green figure.

After seeing it clearly, he instinctively hid behind Yu Muhuai.

Yu Muhuai gloated: "Oh ho, your brother Jia Qing is chasing me."

Kui Shan knew he couldn't hide away: "Why are you here?"

"I'm coming to find you." Xiao Youqing said.

"I want to spend a few days in Tushan. You can go."

"I'll accompany you."

"Need not."

"I want to accompany you."

"……up to you!"

Yu Muhuai's eyes flickered back and forth between them. In just half a month, why did the development between them become more and more confusing?

Bai Huaijing sat next to him and touched his belly: "Is the baby good today?"

"You're very good. It tastes good when you eat it!" Yu Muhuai's attention was drawn back by Bai Huaijing, "This winter jujube is delicious, I want to eat it again."

"Okay, I will go to the back mountain to pick it for you tomorrow."

"mua! Thank you husband, I love you!"
