Bai Zhi was drying the clothes that had just been washed in front of the house. When she saw Hu Feng was coming over, her face involuntarily redden. Bai Zhi rushed to turn away her gaze and said: “What are you doing here?”
Hu Feng swept his eyes on the cabin house. It seems Zhao Lan was busy doing something. In short, he didn’t see her figure. Hu Feng came forward, his eyes were brimming with smiles. He lowered his voice and said: “Of course, I’m here to give you food. Otherwise, what else could it be? Or do you want me to do something else?”
Bai Zhi’s face became hot. She forcefully took the plate in Hu Feng’s hand and lifted her chin: “What do I want you to do? Are you that obedient?”
Hu Feng shrugged his shoulders and crossed his arms to his chest. But the smile on his eyes became more and more obvious: “It depends if your request is reasonable or not. It’s better to see for yourself, right?”
Bai Zhi bites her lips and lifted her foot, then she kicked Hu Feng: “I want you to disappear immediately.”
Hu Feng was kicked, but he didn’t even wrinkle his eyebrows. Bai Zhi’s leg was thin and her foot was small. Her kick was only like a bite of a mosquito, it didn’t hurt him at all.
“Don’t forget the dumplings at dinner.”
Bai Zhi ignored Hu Feng and slammed the door.

“What’s wrong? Who made you angry?” Zhao Lan put down the needlework in her hand and looked at her daughter.
Bai Zhi shook her head and said: “It’s nothing, I was scared by a dog’s barking.”
Zhao Lan gave her daughter a weird look: “Look at you, how old are you now to be scared by a dog’s barking? I thought you have a lot of courage.”
Bai Zhi picked up the steamed bread on the plate and took a mouthful bite. Then, vaguely said: “I’m not scared of it, but who knew it will suddenly bark and look scary.”
Hu Feng’s smiling face pop up in Bai Zhi’s head… … She really wanted to slap her mouth. How could she say those words to him? What would he think of her?
This era was not the 23rd century, where no one will pay attention to such a joke… …
Oh, Niang, I really hate this mouth of mine.

Bai Zhi was so busy in the morning, so now she was very tired. She felt so sleepy after she ate enough. She went to her bed and got herself a pillow and just forgot everything that just happened.
Zhao Lan covered her daughter with a quilt. Seeing her daughter quietly sleeping, Zhao Lan felt that all the suffering she had eaten in the past 10 years was worth it.
After a while, someone knocked on their cabin door. Zhao Lan quickly put down her needlework and hurriedly opened the door.
Hu Feng’s tall figure was standing outside the door. Then, he said: “Where is Zhi’er?”
Zhao Lan pointed her finger to her daughter, who was still sleeping.
Hu Feng’s gaze followed Zhao Lan’s finger and saw Bai Zhi sleeping. Bai Zhi seems felt uncomfortable with the noise and turned over. The thin quilt covering her body slipped on the floor. The hem of her clothes unexpectedly was dragged upward by her arm, revealing her small waist.
Hu Feng’s face blackened and quickly turned away his gaze. Then, said in a low voice: “Zhi’er said we will have dumplings at dinner. Tell her to get up, the time is not too early.”
Zhao Lan naturally also saw her daughter’s situation, so she immediately responded: “Yes, I will tell her, you can go back first.”
Hu Feng turned and walked away. Zhao Lan quickly closed the door and walked towards the bed. Then, she pulled down Bai Zhi’s clothes and gently tapped her shoulder: “Zhi’er, wake up.”
Bai Zhi, who was confused at the moment said: “Gee, let me sleep for a while, just a few more minutes!”
