Extra: Working as a worker
Keqing weighed the longbow in her hand, and plucked the bowstring with her little hand, making a buzzing sound.
"I don't need a bow, why did you give me this?"
Xiang Wan tentatively said, "Maybe you can give it to someone else?"
"Giving it away?"
Her pink eyes turned slightly, Keqing pinched her chin and nodded slightly.
"Then I forgive her."
Putting away her long bow, Keqing raised her head and looked at the horizon, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"I'll give you a day off today. Remember to report early tomorrow."
"If you are late..."
"I promise I won't be late!"
Xiang Wan picked up Hu Tao and sprinted a thousand meters, disappearing in a flash.
On the beach.
"Huhuhu——"
Xiang Wan held on to the sun umbrella and breathed heavily.
"Lord Hall Master, can you explain how you were caught by Ke Qing?"
"..."
Hu Tao's cheeks turned red and she scratched her head in embarrassment.
"hey-hey……"
Xiang Wan pinched Hu Tao's chubby face and pulled it.
"Don't try to get away with it."
Hu Tao's little hands were intertwined in front of her, and her index fingers touched lightly, looking aggrieved.
"Then don't laugh at me after hearing this."
Xiang Wan sat cross-legged on the beach, a faint smile flashed in his eyes and said, "I don't know you yet?"
"I must have touched something I shouldn't have touched out of curiosity and was discovered by Ke Qing."
"You already guessed it, why are you asking me?"
Hu Tao squatted in front of Xiang Wan, scratched Xiang Wan's knees with her little hands and smiled.
"I want to hear more of your voice."
Xiang Wan was tickled by Hu Tao. He grabbed Hu Tao's hand and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong with your hand?"
Spreading Hu Tao's hand, there were several uneven wounds on the originally white and delicate hand. Hu Tao was about to retract, but was held firmly by Xiang Wan.
"Does it hurt?"
"pain!"
Xiang Wan took out a small medicine bottle from the treasure house, and after opening it, a strong medicinal fragrance emanated from it.
Xiang Wan applied a little and carefully applied it to the wound on Hu Tao's hand.
"How does it feel?"
"It's so cold."
"You can rub it yourself and it will be fine tomorrow."
Hu Tao stretched out his hand in front of Xiang Wan.
"I want you to rub it for me."
"This hand is also injured."
Xiang Wan gently squeezed Hu Tao's palm and said dotingly: "Come one by one."
Hearing Xiang Wan's answer, Hu Tao's eyes sparkled. She reached out and rubbed Xiang Wan's hair and said, "You are the best~"
Xiang Wan carefully applied medicine to Hu Tao's little hand and asked, "So how did you get caught by Ke Qing?"
Hutao's face turned red again and she stuck out her tongue.
"When I ran out, I saw a small dagger with purple light stuck in the corridor in the mist. Then I squatted aside and observed it carefully."
Xiang Wan's hands pulled Hu Tao into his arms with a slight force and hugged her tightly. His chin rested on her thin shoulder, and his body swayed slightly.
"You didn't touch it?"
Hu Tao turned around and looked at her two little hands. After applying the ointment, they were cold and comfortable. She raised a finger and said with a smile, "I really only touched it once."
Xiang Wan shook his head helplessly and said, "You know that Ke Qing left it intentionally, but you still want to touch it?"
Hu Tao nuzzled her little face into Xiang Wan's arms, raised her head slightly, and pouted, "I also know the danger, but I'm just curious."
"Don't you want to know how she flew here in one swipe?"
As he spoke, Hutao moved his hands along with his movements, his little face full of excitement, as if he was telling a ghost story.
"Do you really not want to know at all?"
Xiang Wan said calmly: "I just want to know why you can twinkle and twinkle, and what's going on with those golden butterflies."
Hu Tao tapped the tip of Xiang Wan's nose with her little finger, raised her head and said playfully: "This is my little secret, I won't tell you~"
"Okay now, because of your curiosity, I will work with Keqing for a year tomorrow, and I have to cook for her..."
Xiang Wan let go of Hu Tao and lay flat on the beach with a look of despair.
"Then what can I do?"
"I was shocked when she appeared. She took advantage of me and I was barely caught by her!"
"I will definitely not be caught by her next time!"
"But I have to work for her for a year."
"Can't we be together every day?"
Hu Tao suddenly nodded with a heavy face, and then let out an exclamation.
"Yes!"
"This is all your fault!"
Xiang Wan sat up suddenly and hugged Hu Tao's waist, her voice full of grievance.
"snort!"
"I don't care, you have to compensate me today."
Hu Tao patted Xiang Wan on the shoulder and comforted: "Be good, be good."
"What compensation do you want?"
Xiang Wan came close to Hu Tao's lips, ready to ask for her, but Hu Tao's little hand stretched out stopped her.
"etc!"
Xiang Wan tilted his head slightly, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"?"
Hu Tao's cheeks were slightly red, her eyes averted, and she deliberately slowed down her breathing, actually feeling a little nervous.
"actually…"
"Actually, I prepared a gift for you today."
"A gift? What gift?"
"Want to know?"
Xiang Wan nodded seriously. This was not the first time Hu Tao had given him a gift, but this time Hu Tao looked very serious.
It shouldn't be some kind of thing to scare people, right?
Even if it is, as long as Hu Tao can be happy, Xiang Wan will be happy.
"Dang-dang-dang--"
A small red rope appeared in front of Xiang Wan, and hanging below the red rope was a little man whose appearance was polished very smooth but looked a little incomplete.
"This is?"
Xiang Wan curiously held it in his hand and touched it. It felt good in the hand and the surface was very smooth. It was clear that a lot of effort had been put into polishing it.
Xiang Wan looked at Hu Tao, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Did you make this yourself?"
"of course!"
Hutao nodded very proudly, seeming to be more proud of her than scaring Xiang Wan.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?"
"In order to polish this, my delicate little hands have become like this."
Hu Tao pouted, spread her two small hands in front of Xiang Wan and shook them gently.
Xiang Wan pulled Hu Tao into her arms sadly. Hu Tao, who used to only play tricks on Xiang Wan all day long, actually made a gift for herself this time.
"Lord Hall Master, I really like this gift you gave me."
Hu Tao chuckled, took the red string, and licked it with her little mouth.
Xiang Wan lowered his head slightly, and Hu Tao tied the red rope around Xiang Wan's neck with a smile.
Xiang Wan picked up the little man hanging on his chest and asked, "Why is there only such a small one? I remember this stone was so big before."
Xiang Wan stretched out his hand and made a gesture.
Hutao puffed up his face slightly and said, "I think you usually polish it very easily. Who knew it would be so difficult."
Xiang Wan rubbed Hu Tao's cheek and said in a soft voice: "It's good that there is so much left. When I first started polishing, I destroyed a whole stone."
"Really?"
Xiang Wan gently scratched Hu Tao's little nose.
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Xiang Wan picked up Hu Tao.
"The time today is limited, we must cherish it."
"So we're doing a little more than usual."
"What do you want to do to me?"
"Let's talk about it when we get home."
