Chapter 137 Pampering
"Don't overthink it. I just happened to run into this child in the city and we caught up."

"."

Listening to Su Cheng's slightly embarrassed explanation, Shi Xuan quietly scanned the other bed sheet with his divine sense.

Only after recognizing Wen Qimeng's reclining figure did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It really was her; she wasn't a stranger.
"Is the child in your arms that little girl, Auntie?"

"Who else could it be?"

"The changes are really big; I almost didn't recognize him."

Shi Xuan muttered softly, "But catching up is fine, why are we sharing a room?"

Su Cheng stroked the young lady's hair: "Since Miss Wen has been so kind in inviting me, and the young lady is indeed a very likable child, I will stay and keep her company for the night."

"Then you should be careful."

Shi Xuan blushed and felt a little guilty: "Don't corrupt the child."

Su Cheng chuckled: "We were just chatting about interesting things we've seen and heard. What are you thinking?"

"Brother," the little girl suddenly tilted her rosy face up from her clothes, "Is the pretty lady inside alright?"

"how you said that?"

I just saw her need her brother's help.

The girl gently tugged at her sleeve and said softly, "I still have the healing elixir that Sister Wen gave me. Why don't you give it to the pretty sister?"

"Don't worry." Su Cheng smiled gently. "She's just tired from traveling for days. She'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."

"Oh"

The little girl asked in a soft voice, "Then how should I address you, sister?"

"You can just call her Sister Xuan."

Su Cheng chuckled and said, "But she's always been a woman of few words, so just ask me if you have any questions."

The girl nodded obediently, her eyes sparkling. "Has my brother been fighting bad guys lately?"

"I suppose so." Su Cheng recounted his experiences over the past month in detail, interspersing them with some fabricated details, making his story quite dramatic.

The young woman nestled in his arms, listening intently, occasionally covering her mouth and letting out a soft moan, her slender arms unconsciously climbing up his clothes.

When she talked about her travel experiences with Wen Qimeng, she smiled sweetly after being teased by Su Cheng with several witty remarks.

"."

On the other side of the bed, Wen Qimeng leaned against an embroidered pillow, her amber eyes rippling with emotion, a faint smile playing on her lips.

I never expected that Young Master Su would be so witty and charming when he was coaxing a child.
"They claimed they didn't know how to take care of children, but they clearly had a knack for it."

Wen Qimeng quickly calmed down and was about to close her eyes and go to sleep when she was suddenly distracted by the words that drifted over.

Although I knew those stories were embellished, the way that man's deep voice made them sound quite interesting.
"Just a few days ago, Sister Wen was talking about Brother~"

Suddenly, a young woman's soft voice came through: "She said that my brother is handsome, upright, and efficient, a hundred times better than those fame-seeking scions of wealthy families."

"Pfft!"

Wen Qimeng hurriedly sat up and scolded, "You naughty girl, you've forgotten your sister now that you have a brother! How could you say such things!"

Looking at her embarrassed and annoyed expression, Su Cheng couldn't help but chuckle: "Children say the darndest things, Miss Wen, there's no need to take it so seriously."

"What childish talk! This girl is very mature."

Wen Qimeng's ears burned slightly, but she pretended to be calm as she lay back down in bed: "I'm just teaching this girl a lesson early on, so that when she grows up, she won't be fooled by bad men. Even if she wants to find a husband, she has to find someone like you, young master."

"Uh, thank you for your kind words, young lady?"

"As long as you know."

Wen Qimeng turned over and faced the wall. A muffled, reproachful voice came from under the quilt: "You all keep chatting, this young lady wants to rest."

As the sounds from the other side gradually subsided, Su Cheng suddenly felt his collar being gently tugged, and he looked down to meet a watery gaze.

"Sister Wen has the most straightforward personality and is extremely kind to everyone."

The aunt lowered her voice and whispered, "Besides, my sister really misses my brother, and he's still unmarried."

Su Cheng gently stroked her delicate nose: "At such a young age, you already know how to be a matchmaker?"

The little girl's face turned rosy, and she lowered her head shyly.

"elder brother."

Her soft, sweet voice was enough to melt anyone's heart. Su Cheng pulled her thin dress closer and whispered, "Alright, tell me again, how many beautiful sights have you seen these past few days?"

"Ok!"

The young woman suddenly looked up, her pupils bright as morning stars. As she whispered, she unconsciously snuggled closer, as if she wanted to rest her head in her arms, her eyes full of sweet joy.

The next morning, as dawn broke.

Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes from the bed, the afterglow of the fierce battle in the training room still lingering in his mind, and faint rumbling sounds could be heard as he stretched his muscles.

He glanced to the side and saw that Wen Qimeng was still sleeping soundly on the opposite bed, but his aunt was nowhere to be seen.

With a slight probe of his divine sense, he sensed that the aura was circulating downstairs.

"This child, up so early?"

"She is indeed sensible."

Shi Xuan whispered in his ear, "Seeing that you were still asleep, I went to fetch some warm water for washing. Now I'm going downstairs to tell the shopkeeper to prepare breakfast."

As Su Cheng put on his robe and got up, he looked around the room and saw a copper basin next to the screen, with steam rising from it and spreading over the plain silk draped over the edge of the basin.

"It's impressive that she can carry it."

"There are traces of spiritual energy in her body, which means that Miss Wen taught her some methods of inducing qi. Her physique is three times stronger than that of ordinary children."

"That's alright." Su Cheng then helped the puppet up from the bed.

Da da da--

As the two were washing up, footsteps came from the corridor again, and soon a petite figure pushed open the door and entered the room.

The young woman carrying the tray stepped into the room, and upon seeing Su Cheng, she immediately broke into a sweet smile:

"Brother~"

She noticed that Wen Qimeng was still asleep and spoke very softly: "The shopkeeper said their pastries are the best, brother, try some first~"

As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and carried the tray full of bowls and plates to the table.

Su Cheng sat down with the puppet, his fingertips brushing against her fluffy hair: "So considerate and good at managing a household at such a young age, she will surely grow up to be a virtuous and beautiful woman."

The young woman's face was flushed, and she smiled shyly, but she still picked up the spoon and chopsticks and wiped them repeatedly with a silk handkerchief before presenting them to him.

"Brother, eat it while it's hot."

"What about you?"

"I want to massage my brother's shoulders and back first."

She quickly climbed onto the round stool and gently pressed her soft palms against Su Cheng's shoulder. "Brother must not have slept well last night because I pestered you so much. You need to relax."

"Where did you learn that from?"

Su Cheng chuckled: "Could it be that Miss Wen taught you that?"

"My family has always been like this."

The young woman said quite earnestly, "In the past, when Father finished plowing the fields and came home, Mother would always massage him like this."

Su Cheng's smile faltered slightly, a bitter feeling creeping over him.

This girl may have been poor before, but at least she had a happy family. It's no wonder she's so mature and sensible after experiencing such a great calamity.

"Don't worry, I'm already a terrestrial immortal, and my body is very strong."

Su Cheng pulled the young woman back around the waist with one hand, making her sit obediently beside him. "I'd be happier if you could eat half a bowl more."

".Um."

Although the little girl looked regretful, her face quickly lit up with happiness when she saw Su Cheng fill her bowl with porridge: "Brother, that's so nice~"

"Eat up." Su Cheng took the lead in scooping up some porridge to taste, and the aunt followed suit.

Seeing the two people, one big and one small, both drinking and panting, Shi Xuan, who was in the shadows, felt a warm feeling in his eyes.

"Ugh, you two are really something!"

Just then, a slightly languid moan came from beside the bed.

Su Cheng turned around and saw Wen Qimeng sitting up groggily, puffing out her cheeks as if pouting, and muttering, "You're eating so deliciously, it's making me hungry too."

"Miss Wen, get up quickly, your aunt has prepared breakfast for you."

"Okay, coming right away!"
