The night passed quietly and silently.

……

……

Shen Shuchou opened his eyes groggily. The heavy rain outside the window had quietly stopped sometime last night.

A ray of morning sunlight rushed into the room through the windowpane, leaving dappled spots of light on his face.

At this moment, Shen Shuchou felt as if his body was no longer under his control.

My head felt dizzy, as if shrouded in a fog, and even my legs were slightly sore, with each movement bringing a barely perceptible ache.

Shen Shuchou knew perfectly well the reason behind all of this.

The main problem is that Fox Whitey really caused too much trouble last night.

Shen Shuchou leisurely got out of bed, slowly dressed, and then slowly walked out of the room.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Fifth Shushuang coming out of the kitchen.

Having been in this world for over a month, Fifth Shushuang already understands everything around her perfectly.

Before she arrived, Shen Shuchou had been in charge of preparing meals at home.

That little girl, Jiang Qianqiu, is either indulging in the comfort of sleeping in late every day, or still dreaming and unwilling to wake up.

As for Fox White, although he gets up early, he has absolutely no clue how to make food.

But during this period, the task of preparing meals at home naturally fell to Fifth Sister.

"My lord, you're awake!"

Fifth Book's eyes lit up, and with a light wave of her hand, she placed the freshly cooked white porridge steadily on the sandalwood table.

She moved gracefully to Shen Shuchou's side, her slender white fingertips gently brushing against his slightly rolled-up collar.

"Have you been too tired lately, my lord? Why did you wake up so late today?"

She looked up, her eyes filled with worry, her jade-like face showing deep heartache.

During this period, she remembered Shen Shuchou's daily routine perfectly.

Even if I occasionally wake up late, the difference will never exceed ten minutes.

Today, Shen Shuchou was a full half hour later than usual, and his face showed a hint of haggardness.

Moreover, Fifth Shushuang also smelled a strange scent on Shen Shuchou.

The smell was hardly pleasant to her; it was somewhat similar to the smell of sweat after strenuous exercise under the scorching sun, yet with subtle differences.

"Perhaps I didn't sleep well last night."

Shen Shuchou forced a smile and spoke vaguely.

Upon hearing this, before Fifth Shushuang could even reply, a cold laugh suddenly rose in her heart.

"hehe...."

"What's wrong? Qinghan, what are you laughing at?"

Fifth Book Shuang frowned slightly and asked himself silently.

"hehe..."

In his heart, Fifth Qinghan merely sneered twice without replying.

Seeing this, Fifth Shushuang stopped asking questions, and with light steps, turned around and returned to the dining table.

"My lord, if you feel too tired, you might as well rest for a while."

Fifth Shu looked at Shen Shuchou sitting opposite him with gentle eyes and said with concern.

Shen Shuchou took a small sip of porridge and replied, "It's alright."

For him, staying at home all day would be truly exhausting.

The fifth book seemed to want to speak but hesitated, her lips parting and closing, a thousand concerns turning into a soft sigh.

She rested her chin on her hand and gazed at the sharply defined profile of the person opposite her, her gaze so gentle it could melt the morning light.

Before long, Shen Shuchou put down his chopsticks and got up to take his leave.

Fifth Shu Shuang stood by the dining table, watching Shen Shu Chou's receding figure.

After a long while, he reluctantly looked away and began to tidy up the table.

"hehe...."

Just then, the cold laugh that belonged to Fifth Qinghan echoed again from the depths of his heart.

The series of cold laughs made Fifth Shu Shuang frown slightly.

This time, before Fifth Shushuang could even ask, Fifth Qinghan continued with a cold laugh, "My dear sister, are you truly oblivious, or are you deliberately feigning ignorance?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Fifth Book Shuang asked in confusion.

"Can't you really tell why my husband is like this?"

The fifth tone was cold and icy, each word carrying a chilling intent.

These words were like an icy blade, causing Fifth Book's beautiful eyebrows to furrow, her eyes filled with confusion and unease.

Looking at his sister's bewildered expression, Fifth Qinghan curled up a sickly sneer.

A complex mix of emotions welled up in her eyes: "Heh... It was my oversight. My sister has remained chaste to this day, how could she possibly understand these things?"

Shen Shuchou's expression, in Fifth Book's eyes, was probably just that he was exhausted, and he couldn't see anything else.

But in Fifth Qinghan's eyes, it was as if it were transparent; she was all too familiar with this appearance.

After all, he had shown this kind of expression to her countless times without reservation.

Upon hearing these words, Fifth Shu Shuang seemed to be awakened, and her beautiful face was instantly shrouded in gloom, with an indescribable sorrow between her brows.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, a series of dragging footsteps broke the silence.

Following the sound, the fifth book looked and saw Fox White lazily walking out of the inner room.

Her eyes were still sleepy, with an alluring blush at the corners, adding to her charm.

A sheer, gossamer-thin dress barely covered her graceful figure, revealing glimpses of her chest and outlining breathtaking curves.

Fifth Shu Shuang's gaze involuntarily fell on Hu Bai Bai's still-flushed blushing cheeks and her slightly clenched legs.

Considering Shen Shuchou's exhausted appearance and reflecting on the profound meaning behind Wu Qinghan's words, everything becomes self-evident.

She pursed her lips, remaining silent, but the sorrow between her brows grew even deeper, as if it had coalesced into an unyielding chasm.

"Where's Master? Isn't he up yet?"

Fox White covered her mouth slightly, let out a cute yawn, and then swayed her slender waist and wiggled her round and pert buttocks as she gracefully strolled over.

"My husband just went out."

Fifth Shushuang pursed her lips and spoke softly, her voice seemingly concealing a barely perceptible sense of loneliness.

Fox White lay lazily on the sofa, his gaze seemingly wandering over Fifth Shu Shuang, looking her up and down.

The emotions revealed between Fifth Book's brows could not escape her cunning eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

In Hu Baibai's eyes, Fifth Shushuang's current appearance really resembled that of Little Jiang Qianqiu, except that she lacked Jiang Qianqiu's fiery temper.

However, Hu Baibai's smile, seen by Fifth Qinghan who kept it hidden deep in his heart, was undoubtedly a blatant provocation.

"Sister... these so-called rules are nothing but shackles that bind us. Give me your body, and I will kill her. In this way, my husband will belong only to the two of us."

Fifth Qinghan's voice was chillingly cold.

"No!"

Without a second thought, Fifth Book Shuang resolutely refused in her heart.

Even though she was filled with sadness at the moment, she could still distinguish the priorities of things.

If control of the body were truly handed over to Fifth Qinghan, things would inevitably spiral out of control.

"Hehe... Sister, you are so generous, you are actually willing to give your husband to someone else."

Fifth Qinghan said sarcastically.

"That's enough!"

Fifth Shushuang's voice unconsciously turned a few degrees colder.

"Are you really content with this? Your husband is so close, yet you can't even touch him. Sister, have you never thought of sharing marital bliss with him?"

Fifth Qinghan's voice carried a hint of seduction.

"Enough! Shut up!"

Fifth Shushuang's voice turned completely cold.

Despite her tough words, how could Fifth Shu Shuang truly be willing to accept this in her heart?

The young girl's feelings were stirring, and the longing for love had been hidden deep in her heart for countless years.

Since one's heart has been stirred by spring, how could one not yearn to go to Wushan with one's beloved and enjoy the pleasures of love?

But reason was still holding her back, preventing her from doing anything out of line.

The next moment, a rich and pleasant scent suddenly filled the air around Fifth Book's nose.

She was startled and quickly turned her head to look, only to find that Hu Baibai had quietly come to her side at some point.

Before Fifth Shushuang could speak, Fox Baibai said first, "Master has been feeling a bit tired lately. In a few days, I'll have to trouble you, little sister, to take good care of him."

Fox White had a meaningful smile on its lips, deliberately emphasizing the word "take care".

Fifth Shushuang, who was still lost in thought, understood the hidden meaning behind these words.

A flicker of panic flashed across her eyes, and her heart, hidden beneath her flesh and blood, began to beat faster, like a startled fawn.

Seeing her like this, Hu Baibai's smile deepened, and he felt that Fifth Shushuang was simply another version of Jiang Qianqiu.

Unlike Jiang Qianqiu, she didn't have a fiery temper that could explode at the slightest provocation, nor did she have that cold exterior that kept people at arm's length.

All she possessed was a gentle and tender exterior and a rational and self-possessed interior.

"Is there anything else to eat? I'm getting a little hungry."

Fox White stared at Fifth Book Shuang's slightly flustered appearance, a mocking smile on its lips as it spoke.

Yes...there are.

Fifth Shu Shuang hurriedly responded, her voice unconsciously carrying a hint of panic.

She hurriedly bypassed Fox White and rushed towards the kitchen.

At this moment, her mind was filled with nothing but Hu Baibai's meaningful words about "taking care".

My heart was filled with both nervousness and panic, yet also a faint, indescribable anticipation.
