Chapter 13: Not Me, Not Me—I'm Not Qin Feng

"You two should get to know each other, right?"

Bai Qingxia smiled and said in a gentle tone.

As soon as the words fell, Ye Xiuxiu walked toward Qin Feng with poise and confidence.

Qin Feng looked at the beautiful, charming girl before him with a hint of shyness.

After they exchanged smiles, they began to talk.

After all, Ye Xiuxiu had lived through two lifetimes.

Her knowledge and experience were far beyond those of ordinary people.

Teasing this innocent child was as easy as child's play for her.

At first, Qin Feng acted very boldly, showing no sign of nervousness,

but as time passed,

Ye Xiuxiu skillfully employed various words and expressions,

and soon left Qin Feng unable to cope.

Before long, the mischievous little fellow,

was now blushing all over his face, like a ripe apple.

He shyly lowered his head,

daring not to look directly at Ye Xiuxiu's smiling eyes.

At that moment, Qin Feng suddenly lifted his head,

and said to Ye Xiuxiu:

"Xiuxiu, I'm stepping out for a moment."

Hearing this, Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel a little surprised,

and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

However, Qin Feng did not answer her question,

simply replying vaguely, "Nothing, I'm just stepping out."

After speaking, he turned and began his small steps,

teng teng teng as he ran toward the door.

Seeing Qin Feng's hurried departure, Ye Xiuxiu grew increasingly curious.

Aunt Zheng, standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh and scold,

"That kid runs so fast, and we don't even know where he's going!"

Bai Qingxia, however, seemed rather calm,

still smiling brightly, replied:

"Who cares? Kids are always curious about everything around them; maybe he just wants to look around."

Everyone who heard Bai Qingxia's words nodded in agreement.

No one was worried; this is the Ye Family, nothing bad will happen,

and their spiritual senses can, with a casual sweep,

easily detect Qin Feng's movements,

so there is no need to fear any mishap.

Meanwhile,

on the other side of the room,

Ye Qingping and Aunt Zheng were busy discussing the details of the marriage.

After a tense yet orderly discussion,

they quickly drafted a marriage contract,

and placed the two copies neatly aside.

Then the adults on both sides each took a pen,

and solemnly signed their names on it.

After that, everyone quietly waited for the children from both sides to come and sign and press their handprints.

This contract will later serve as an important basis for determining each side's identity.

Ye Xiuxiu gracefully lifted her pen,

her delicate handwriting flowed onto the paper like drifting clouds and running water,

then she extended her right hand, gently pressing it onto the ink pad,

and without hesitation slapped the two contracts twice,

instantly, two small, vivid red handprints sprang onto the paper.

"Xiaofeng? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Aunt Zheng couldn't help but urge impatiently,

as minutes and seconds passed, Qin Feng still did not return.

"Xiuxiu, why don't you go out and look for Xiaofeng, and have him hurry back to press his handprint."

Aunt Zheng turned to Ye Xiuxiu and said.

"Hmm, I understand."

Ye Xiuxiu obediently nodded in response.

"After you go out, turn right and follow that direction to look around."

Aunt Zheng carefully reminded,

She scanned with her divine sense; Qin Feng was in that direction.

Sure!

Ye Xiuxiu replied crisply.

She dashed out the door like a happy fawn, light-footed.

She ran in the direction Aunt Zheng indicated.

Just as she stepped out the gate and turned right,

Ye Xiuxiu found herself in the Ye Family's spacious and complex manor.

But she did not blindly bump around,

but instead, as she walked, she asked the servants she encountered if they had seen Qin Feng.

After all, the Ye Family manor had many servants, so news naturally spread quickly.

Thus, Ye Xiuxiu inquired along the way, and before long,

she spotted Qin Feng's figure in the bushes beside a small garden.

At that moment, Qin Feng was curled up entirely in the bushes,

If it weren't for Ye Xiuxiu's keen eyes and careful look,

he would probably have been hard to notice.

"Feng Ge, what are you hiding here for?"

Ye Xiuxiu curiously stepped forward to ask.

When their eyes met, Qin Feng's body involuntarily trembled.

Qin Feng and Ye Xiuxiu's eyes met,

In an instant, Qin Feng's body began to tremble involuntarily,

as if struck by an invisible force.

He looked like a startled rabbit,

his two small hands shot up faster than one could cover their ears,

tightly covering his face,

while shouting in panic:

"I wasn't pooping here!"

"I wasn't pooping here!"

"I wasn't pooping here!"

Ye Xiuxiu looked bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened.

Just then, a voice sounded in her mind:

【Mission completed: you finally made your former fiancé look up at you with approval after all your effort, though the process was a bit rough, but the outcome is good. Now that your fiancé can look up at you, he will be able to look up at you even more in the future.】

【Congratulations on receiving the reward: a random defensive spell.】

Hearing these words, Ye Xiuxiu's heart filled with doubt and confusion.

The mission was just completed like that?

What on earth is the reason?

She began to carefully recall everything that had happened before,

but no matter how she thought, she could not figure out what she had done that would make this little fiancé look up at her.

Thus,

She curiously sized up Qin Feng before her, who was covering his eyes and trembling all over.

Although Qin Feng tightly covered his face with both hands,

there were still a few gaps.

Through those narrow finger gaps,

one could see a pair of eyes revealing extreme anxiety.

When their eyes met again, Qin Feng seemed as if scalded,

he quickly covered his eyes again,

and continued to mutter in panic:

"It's not me, it's not me!"

"I am not Qin Feng!"

"I am not Qin Feng!"

After sizing her up,

Ye Xiuxiu suddenly understood why this mission had been completed successfully.

Qin Feng was now half-crouching, while she stood firmly.

Due to the height difference, she was clearly a head taller than Qin Feng.

Therefore,

When Qin Feng looked at her,

he had to look up,

which is literally "looking up at her"!

Thinking this, Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but laugh silently, thinking to herself:

"Does completing a mission always have to be this bizarre?"

Just thinking about the defensive spell she would receive as a reward,

Ye Xiuxiu's mood instantly became excited.
