Chapter 208 Matching Outfits

For some reason, Cheng Xiaoxiao had not heard the little chick call her during this period of time. Although she had been busy with other things and might have missed the little chick’s call, it was the first time that the little chick was so unattached to her these days.

Did something happen to the little chick…?

Cheng Xiaoxiao patted the jade box in front of her with her claws and called the little chick worriedly.

“Meow!”

“Chirp!”

This time, the little chick’s voice sounded even more urgent, and it only cried once before it fell silent again.

Then, no matter how much Cheng Xiaoxiao called, the little chick did not respond to her, and the jade box returned to the calmness from a few days ago.

This was too worrying.

Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to call after it again, but the door behind her was pushed open again. Cheng Xiaoxiao was so scared that her voice stuck in her throat, and she almost choked to death.

“Why did you come back?!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao angrily turned around and roared.

Chu Yunshen didn’t understand why the fluffy little thing was angry at him again after he came back.

Why was it so hot-tempered nowadays?

Maybe it was in the heat of the moment.

Chu Yunshen decided to ask Mu Bai to come over tomorrow to prescribe the cat some tonics that could improve its urination. Being angry all the time could damage its body. He was worried that the cat would have some problems in the future.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was pissed because she assumed that it was the annoying Xiaowu who came back, so she deliberately bared her fangs and brandished her claws to scare Xiaowu away.

Unexpectedly, she smelled the faint fragrance of grass as soon as she turned around, and then the dark blue robe came into her view.

She felt so ashamed. She once again mistook him for another person.

The cat quickly greeted Chu Yunshen with a smile. The flattering little appearance was extremely funny and adorable.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had a smile on her face, but in fact, she was cursing in her heart.

“Don’t you men have manners? Don’t you knock on the door first before you come in?”

“Also, is there no sound when you walk?”

“What martial arts do you learn? You deliberately make your appearance so mysterious!”

They walked without any sound nowadays, and she couldn’t detect them at all.

This was Chu Yunshen’s room, so he didn’t need to knock on the door when he came in, but Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t want to care about that. Just like she didn’t want to know why Xiaowu could accurately know that Chu Yunshen was not in the room but she was.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t understand the world of martial artists.

All she knew was that these two men had made her very embarrassed today!

Chu Yunshen had already bumped into the cat that was walking towards him. He directly went up and held the cat.

However, Chu Yunshen didn’t hug it into his embrace. Instead, he lifted it into the air.

“Meow?”

The cat looked at Chu Yunshen with a silly and adorable face. Her gaze was so soft that it almost melted his heart.

Chu Yunshen did not say anything. He just walked straight to the bed with the cat in his hands.

When the cat was placed on the bed, he said slowly, “My body is too cold. Wait for a while.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was wondering why Chu Yunshen suddenly stopped hugging her. Was he angry because she had mistaken him for another person and hissed at him? It couldn’t be.

Chu Yunshen was not such a petty person, right?

Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her head sweetly and gazed at Chu Yunshen’s handsome face. She tried her best to use her eyes to send a wave of love towards Chu Yunshen.

It was also at this time that she noticed that Chu Yunshen had wrapped both of his hands with his wide sleeves. Only then did Chu Yunshen reveal his hands and rub them against the heater in the room.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s heart seemed to be hit by something in an instant, and it was thumping violently.

Chu Yunshen’s indifferent appearance was too affectionate. He clearly did not say anything, but he showed his sincerity with his actions.

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was at a loss, suddenly felt something special about this man in front of her. She could understand why her heart was beating so fast.

It was not that she was too superficial and easy to be moved. It was clearly because the man was irresistible.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had always thought that Chu Yunshen treated her as a plaything, taking her as an accessory.

Therefore, at first, she was very resistant to Chu Yunshen. She only wanted to go against him and do everything the hard way.

Later, Chu Yunshen treated her a little better, but Cheng Xiaoxiao had the feeling that Chu Yunshen was trying to subdue her like an owner subduing his pet. Therefore, she avoided physical contact with Chu Yunshen, including when Chu Yunshen interacted with her after reading those books…

When did she start to think that Chu Yunshen treated her as an equal human? Perhaps it was when Chu Yunshen fell unconscious in the dry well to save her, or maybe it was earlier?

Anyway, at least Cheng Xiaoxiao was very certain now. The aloof and indifferent man, who was patiently roasting and warming himself up by the fireplace, always pulled a long face and never looked at anyone. He acted as if he was the noblest person in the world, but he treated her in a special way.

The cat’s eyes darted around, and the surrounding air became much gentler. After warming himself up, Chu Yunshen walked back to the cat and picked it up again.

But this time, Chu Yunshen did not wrap his hands with his sleeve again, nor did he raise the cat in the air. Instead, he embraced the cat tightly to his arm. The cat’s head just happened to be lying on his arm.

Cheng Xiaoxiao could hear Chu Yunshen’s heartbeat in this posture. It was so powerful, just like hers, loud and firm.

Chu Yunshen’s body was toasty and warm. The fragrance of the grass on his body was more obvious by the heat in the heater, and it was mixed with the scent of charcoal in the heater. The scent made Chu Yunshen, who was usually cold and aloof, much more approachable now.

It was so calm and serene.

The cat naturally leaned its head in his arm, while Chu Yunshen habitually began to comb the cat’s fur.

None of them said anything, but this kind of tranquil silence seemed precious on a warm night.

Whether it was Cheng Xiaoxiao or Chu Yunshen, after many years, they could still clearly remember the temperature of the other person in this embrace, and the sound of breathing that was so close to each other.

It was probably a beautiful dream, so the night was always so short.

When Cheng Xiaoxiao woke up in a daze, Chu Yunshen was whispering something to the young maid who used to serve the cat.

Cheng Xiaoxiao, who woke up early and was in a daze, was naturally not completely awake. Her five senses were like being sealed. At such a close distance, she could only listen to something like, “Don’t…”, “Wait until she wakes up herself…”

Was this a reminder?

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt like she hadn’t seen the young maid for a long time. She remembered that a young servant liked her and wondered if they ended up together.

Cheng Xiaoxiao, who hadn’t been “babysat” for a long time, was in a daze again. When she completely awoke and in her energetic self, Chu Yunshen’s tall figure had already disappeared from the room.

What a pity…

She hadn’t had a loving morning hug with Chu Yunshen.

Cheng Xiaoxiao bent her body and clawed at the ground, stretching her body to her heart’s content.

When she found that she was wearing a dark blue jacket, she immediately rushed out of bed in a good mood. She circled the room several times before stopping. She was still bouncing and hopping around, feeling playful and delighted.

Matching outfits!

Yay!

“I am so excited!”

“Chu Yunshen and I are wearing matching outfits! Haha!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was on cloud nine. Why didn’t she know that she had a coat of this color?

But judging by the workmanship, Cheng Xiaoxiao found it to be quite new. Did Chu Yunshen hire someone in the stitching shop to make it yesterday?

Whatever it was, Cheng Xiaoxiao loved this coat! Chu Yunshen might look dull and boring, but he was quite romantic at times.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the coat on her body happily. When she thought that it should be Chu Yunshen who changed it for her, she couldn’t help but grin foolishly.

“You’re awake? The coat really suits you.” The sincere praise of the servant girl, Xiao Tao, came from the door.

“Right? I also feel that it suits me very well.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Tao smugly as if she was agreeing with her compliment. Then, Cheng Xiaoxiao became more excited when she saw the big food box in Xiao Tao’s hands.

Xiao Tao smiled as she watched the cat walk towards her. Soon, she brought the cat to the tea table in the outer room.

“Master had ordered the chef to prepare this chicken soup and bone soup yesterday. They were all simmered for a whole day yesterday before they were brought here this morning.”

Xiao Tao began to carry things out from the huge food box. Cheng Xiaoxiao wondered what material this box was made of as the food was still steamy hot when they were taken out as if they were taken directly from the stove.

“Oh right, there are also fish cakes and chicken. Master said that they were all your favorites, so the chef prepared them.”

Xiao Tao’s food box was like an endless treasure chest as she kept taking food out from the box.

Not only fish cakes and chicken, but there seemed to be a steamed bass. The bass seemed to be almost as long as Cheng Xiaoxiao’s body.

Was Chu Yunshen being kind or had he changed his personality? Why did he ask the chef to prepare so much delicious food?

Did Chu Yunshen find out that she had been troubled by many things recently, so he wanted to comfort her?

Cheng Xiaoxiao was fantasizing in her heart, but she did not expect that Xiao Tao’s next words would directly extinguish all of her fantasies.

“Master has a lot of work to do every day, but he still took the time to ask Xiaowu to order the chef. Master really cares about you!”

Wait, what did you say?

Chu Yunshen asked Xiaowu to order the chef?

When did Chu Yunshen tell Xiaowu these things?

Yesterday, when Chu Yunshen and Xiaowu were talking, Cheng Xiaoxiao was there. After that, they went their separate ways, didn’t they?

The cat couldn’t understand what Xiao Tao meant. She tilted her head, her brown eyes full of doubt.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Tao was about to close the food box after she finished carrying everything out. When she felt the gaze of the cat, she turned her head to look at the cat.

“You don’t believe me? It was really Xiaowu’s personal order. Otherwise, how would the chef dare to do these things?”

Xiao Tao could not understand why the cat was puzzled. After she finished speaking, she quickly closed the food box and placed it on a stool to the side.

“This is not what I mean! I want to know why it was Xiaowu who went to the chef! Shouldn’t it be Chu Yunshen himself?”

What about the coat?

Whose idea was it?

Cheng Xiaoxiao desperately wanted to know the ins and outs of this matter. Even when Xiao Tao helped her prepare the food and planned to feed her, she was still muddle-headed and opened her mouth in a daze.

“Why are you listless? Do you not like the food?”
