"Can you let go of my hand now?"
Since leaving the Shi family, Xu Wuzhou had been holding Qin Qingmou's hand. Qin Qingmou had struggled several times but failed to break free. Finally, she couldn't help but speak up.
"Of course."
Xu Wuzhou immediately agreed, but he tightened his grip on her hand. Her hand was soft and a bit cold, much like the cool night breeze.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that Xu Wuzhou had agreed but still didn't let go, Qin Qingmou looked at him with confusion.
"Oh, I've been in this position for too long, my hand has stiffened and can't let go."
Xu Wuzhou used his left hand to forcefully pat his right hand, proving that his hand was indeed stiff and couldn't move.
Qin Qingmou struggled again, but felt that the grip on her hand had become even stronger.
After another failed attempt, she looked at Xu Wuzhou with clear, beautiful eyes: "Can a stiff hand still be so strong?"
"Maybe it's because your hand is too cold, causing thermal expansion and contraction, making my hand involuntarily tighten due to the cold."
Xu Wuzhou replied, "I'm naturally afraid of the cold, and I stiffen when it's cold. You wouldn't despise me for that, would you?"
Seeing Xu Wuzhou's serious but ridiculous explanation, Qin Qingmou was almost amused and angry. Could this guy find a more absurd and shameless reason?
"I don't like being held by others."
Qin Qingmou reminded Xu Wuzhou again, hoping he would let go of her hand.
"Wow! We even have the same hobby; I don't like others holding my hand either."
Xu Wuzhou exclaimed.
"..." Qin Qingmou didn't know how to respond. If you don't like it, why are you holding my hand even tighter? How can you be so shameless and still maintain a straight face?
"Your hand is so cold. Although I'm afraid of the cold, isn't the greatness of life about sacrificing oneself to help others?
It's no big deal for me to be stiff from the cold, but I must warm you up."
Xu Wuzhou spoke with a grand expression, slowly rubbing Qin Qingmou's cold hands with both of his.
Qin Qingmou's delicate hands were rubbed by Xu Wuzhou, and the intimate feeling made her beautiful face blush, as if she were drunk, shy and charming.
The warmth from the skin friction made Qin Qingmou's heart tremble. She took advantage of a moment when Xu Wuzhou was distracted and quickly pulled her hand away.
After struggling out of his warm hands, the night breeze blew, and the warmth she had just felt instantly disappeared. At that moment, Qin Qingmou actually felt a bit nostalgic.
But this feeling quickly vanished. She clenched her hand into a fist to prevent Xu Wuzhou from grabbing it again, but the redness on her face hadn't completely faded, making her even more beautiful with her delicate and cold appearance, truly captivating.
"Thank you for today, but don't take risks for me in the future. I can handle some injuries, but they might kill you."
Qin Qingmou calmed herself and said to Xu Wuzhou.
"You are my wife, and I haven't even bullied you, how can I let others bully you?"
Xu Wuzhou replied.
Wife! Qin Qingmou was slightly stunned by this word, opening her mouth to say something but couldn't find the words.
"Your hand is really cold. Do you really not need me to warm it up for you?"
Xu Wuzhou continued, her hand was very soft and comfortable.
"No need!"
Qin Qingmou's face turned red again. She composed herself and walked to her room, suddenly thinking of something and said to Xu Wuzhou, "A week from now, don't go to the duel with Xie Guangping."
"Hmm?"
You don't believe I can beat him?"
Xu Wuzhou laughed and asked Qin Qingmou.
"I know Xie Guangping. He deliberately delayed it for a week, and he definitely has a plan to kill you.
You don't need to jump into a trap.
I have already entered the Dao, and it won't be long before I master the Dao's essence. Then the Qin family's crisis will naturally be resolved, and the Xie family won't be able to do anything to us."
Qin Qingmou said.
Xu Wuzhou smiled, fearing that before she could master the Dao's essence, the Xie family would already have dealt with the Qin family.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, with a face as white as jade, her eyes clear like a spring, and long lashes curling perfectly, Xu Wuzhou even thought her eyelashes could balance a matchstick.
Men are visual creatures and are more likely to have a good impression of beautiful women.
If he had married an ugly woman when he came to this world, he would have thought about how to escape the marriage. But with Qin Qingmou, he felt a sense of contentment.
"I have my own judgment, you don't need to worry.
I just think that if your hands are so cold, your body must be cold too. Don't you need me to help warm your bed?"
Xu Wuzhou casually replied, but in his mind, he was thinking about how to use his sword intent to help the Qin family refine their weapons.
In recent days, he had also learned about the Qin family's situation. The Qin family couldn't fall, and if it did, he would also become a homeless dog.
"No need!"
Qin Qingmou bit her lip; Xu Wuzhou was becoming more and more shameless.
"You're making me very sad."
Xu Wuzhou said with a low tone, "Your attitude makes me doubt my value as a son-in-law. Warming the bed and serving you are necessary conditions for a son-in-law to survive."
"..." Qin Qingmou decided not to pay attention to Xu Wuzhou and walked into her room, about to close the door.
"Hey, think about it. A long night, how lonely it is to be alone."
Xu Wuzhou called out.
"Go to bed early. I entered the Dao through a poem, and I want to read more of 'Shui Diao Ge Tou' tonight."
Qin Qingmou politely refused Xu Wuzhou.
"Shui Diao Ge Tou was written by me. I can recite it. Come, let me in, and I'll explain it to you properly."
Xu Wuzhou said to Qin Qingmou.
Qin Qingmou was taken aback. She had entered the Dao through this poem and had thought many times about what kind of talented person could have written such a timeless masterpiece.
But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't imagine who it could be, and she could only attribute it to divine intervention.
Now, Xu Wuzhou said it was him?
Qin Qingmou was slightly dazed, but seeing Xu Wuzhou trying to enter her room made her laugh and cry. She thought he was just trying to deceive her into doing something improper.
He had lied before, and she knew very well how Xu Wuzhou's literary skills were. She doubted he could even recite a poem, let alone write one, which would be almost impossible for him.
Moreover, if he had written it, he would have signed his own name to gain her respect.
Seeing Qin Qingmou's disbelieving face, Xu Wuzhou said, "If you don't believe me, let me in, and I'll write ten or eight poems for you.
I'm not exaggerating; poetry, lyrics, and prose are all minor arts. Talking about life, ideals, the origin of humanity, the evolution of society, and emotional issues between men and women, I can handle them all.
You like reading, so you must enjoy intellectual exchanges, which I am also good at."
"..." Qin Qingmou didn't want to listen anymore. If you keep boasting, you'll be invincible.
Qin Qingmou directly closed the door, no longer listening to Xu Wuzhou's big talk.
Having been given the cold shoulder, Xu Wuzhou felt very awkward.
"Being a son-in-law is really a lack of human rights. A married man can't even enter a room, how embarrassing."
Xu Wuzhou muttered, "I thought that with my powerful strength, they would look at me differently and treat me better."
"If a woman eats a pile of shit in front of you, and after cleaning her mouth, she wants to kiss you, would you agree?"
Xu Yunjie's voice suddenly reached Xu Wuzhou's ears.
"Hmm?"
Xu Wuzhou glanced at the approaching Qin Yunjie.
Qin Yunjie then said, "Your past behavior was like constantly eating shit, making my sister feel hopeless. Do you think she can forget all the shit you've eaten just by brushing your teeth once? Isn't that the logic?"
Xu Wuzhou looked at Qin Yunjie, thinking, "Damn, this kid is actually a philosopher! What he said makes a lot of sense, and I can't refute it."
But who is he calling a shit-eater?
Xu Wuzhou didn't care about the logic and shouted at Qin Yunjie, "The Qin family is under so much pressure, and you're wandering around at night, showing no responsibility. Humph, don't you know to work hard to improve your strength?
Fine, since I'm your brother-in-law, I'll give you some guidance!"
Saying that, Xu Wuzhou raised his fist and aimed it at Qin Yunjie.
"No..." Qin Yunjie's face changed drastically as he saw the fist coming. He had just learned about the incident at the Shi family and was sent by his father to invite Qin Qingmou and Xu Wuzhou.
But seeing the fist growing larger in his eyes, he didn't have time to speak and had to use all his strength to defend himself.
But he was no match for Xu Wuzhou and was quickly beaten up, with a bruised and swollen face.
Looking at the limp Qin Yunjie on the ground, Xu Wuzhou felt extremely satisfied, patted Qin Yunjie's shoulder, and laughed, "Your strength is too weak, it needs improvement. Don't worry, your brother-in-law will take good care of you and guide you more in the future."
Qin Yunjie's face changed drastically, and he was furious. This bastard was just looking for an excuse to beat him up.
In his anger, he forgot to inform Xu Wuzhou to meet Qin Li.
