What to do if you receive the wrong package?

Chapter 129 I'm not talking to you today!

Su Huaiqi pulled Yu Zechuan and walked quickly toward the courtyard where Mu Qing lived. As they walked, she used both hands and feet to describe to Yu Zechuan how she had "debated with the scholars" the day before to get the opportunity to explore the cave with Senior Mu and the others.

"Sigh, if you had been here last night, I wouldn't have been all alone facing all the seniors."

"Wait a minute! Ah Yu, you still haven't told me what happened at Weiyu Tower yesterday!"

Finally realizing what was happening, Su Huaiqi stopped in her tracks. But looking at the courtyard so close at hand, Su Huaiqi gritted her teeth and decided to solve the problem of exploring the cave first.

She had no choice but to huddle close to Yu Zechuan and whisper, "When we come out, remember to tell me!"

From the time the two entered the courtyard to the time they left, Su Huaiqi estimated that it hadn't even been five minutes.

After Su Huaiqi explained her purpose, Mu Qing glanced at Yu Zechuan beside her and nodded in agreement without saying anything more.

This left Su Huaiqi, who had originally planned to continue his "eloquent speech," somewhat dumbfounded. But fearing that Mu Qing might change her mind, she quickly pulled Yu Zechuan aside, thanked Mu Qing and Lin Fei, and then hurriedly left.

"If I had known you would agree, I would have asked you first, since Senior Mu would have been so easy to talk to." Su Huaiqi pouted with some regret.

"No matter what happens, at least you can be with us."

"That's true, I can finally leave here and go out for a while!" Su Huaiqi nodded with satisfaction and took a deep breath, feeling much better.

Yu Zechuan watched Su Huaiqi's subtle actions but smiled without saying a word. The reason Mu Qing only allowed Su Huaiqi to participate after he gave his consent was that she wanted to find someone who could protect Su Huaiqi closely. Moreover, his skills were not bad, and he might be able to provide some help in a critical moment.

Mu Qing would definitely agree to such a risk-free deal.

"Alright, my business is settled. Now it's time to talk about yours." Su Huaiqi turned to face Yu Zechuan, waiting for him to speak.

Yu Zechuan looked around, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Are you sure you want to say this here?"

"I'm sure, hurry up and tell me." Su Huaiqi put her hands on her hips, her tone somewhat urging.

Yu Zechuan's expression turned strange. He suddenly moved closer to Su Huaiqi, and the two of them were so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

Startled by Yu Zechuan's intense gaze, Su Huaiqi tried to pull herself back, but Yu Zechuan reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"You...you...what are you going to do?" Su Huaiqi looked flustered, and even his words were somewhat stuttering.

Yu Zechuan chuckled softly and whispered in Su Huaiqi's ear, "Didn't you want to know what happened at Weiyu Tower last night?"

Su Huaiqi nodded nervously, "Yes... but, but you... don't need to..." The warm breath by her ear made her voice tremble slightly. She could feel Yu Zechuan's warm breath, and her heart beat faster.

“This is no small matter, and I’m afraid there may be eavesdroppers.” Yu Zechuan gently stroked Su Huaiqi’s hair, his voice low. “I’m afraid Qiqi will have to suffer for a while.”

"I'm not upset, it's just... it feels weird." Su Huaiqi lowered his head, nervously fiddling with his cuffs, but he felt much more relaxed.

Looking at Su Huaiqi's fluffy head and feeling the warm body temperature in his arms, Yu Zechuan smiled slightly and then told her what had happened last night.

"Disguise? Does he intend to have someone impersonate Miss Zhenzhen?"

Su Huaiqi looked up at Yu Zechuan, "However, this also indirectly shows that Yun Hailong does not suspect that you are related to Xi Zhenzhen's disappearance, which is a very favorable situation for us."

Yu Zechuan nodded in agreement. "Yun Hailong has now brought this upon himself. He will definitely need my help in many more places in the future. If I can help him, I can gain more of his trust."

"Hahaha, I suddenly feel sorry for Yun Hailong. He's been played like a puppet by you." Su Huaiqi covered her mouth and chuckled as she thought about Yun Hailong's miserable state.

“Heh,” Yu Zechuan sneered, “Whose fault is this? He only has himself to blame.”

Hearing that Yu Zechuan hadn't been harassed by Yun Hailong yesterday, Su Huaiqi's worries subsided. However, looking at Yu Zechuan so close to her, Su Huaiqi blushed slightly and muttered softly, "Let go quickly after you've finished talking. It's not good to keep pulling and tugging like that."

"What's wrong with me hugging my wife?" Although Yu Zechuan was still teasing Su Huaiqi, he was afraid that continuing to hug her would make her angry, so he had no choice but to release Su Huaiqi with a smile.

"What do you mean by 'madam'! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll... I'll... ignore you!"

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. If you really don't want to talk to me, are we still going to explore the cave together in two days?"

Su Huaiqi didn't expect Yu Zechuan to bring up something two days later, so she could only angrily say to him, "Hmph, I've decided, I'm not going to talk to you today. I'll talk to you again tomorrow."

After Su Huaiqi finished speaking, he strode away without looking back, giving Yu Zechuan behind him no chance to explain.

Yu Zechuan watched Su Huaiqi's departing figure, a doting smile appearing on his lips. It seemed he had really made her angry this time.

Su Huaiqi only wanted to leave Yu Zechuan's side, but she didn't expect to end up in the backyard.

Standing at the backyard gate, she hesitated. She wasn't sure if the little black snake was there; what if it wasn't? She'd be disappointed again. If it was, she hadn't brought it any food.

After hesitating for a while, Su Huaiqi felt relieved. Regardless of whether it was there or not, he would go and see it first!

She stepped cautiously into the backyard. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a warm glow on the ground. Her gaze swept over every branch and every corner, searching for the little black snake. But she found no trace of it.

Su Huaiqi sighed with some disappointment, a sense of regret welling up in his heart.

"Hey Blackie, where have you been? It's so cold outside, and there's nothing good to eat. Why are you running around like that?" Su Huaiqi walked to the big tree where the little black snake often coiled, rolled up her skirt, squatted down, and even poked and drew on the ground with a small stick while muttering to herself.

As a result, Su Huaiqi's calves went numb after squatting for only a short while.

She was holding onto the tree trunk with her left hand and patting her calf with her right hand. As she slowly got up, she suddenly felt a breeze brush against her cheek, making her face feel a little itchy.

Left with no other choice, she quickly brushed the stray hairs from her cheek with her right hand. Her eyes inadvertently glanced to the side and saw a small black snake quietly sliding down from a branch. Her right hand seemed to touch the snake's cold body.

Startled, she ignored the numbness in her calves and took two steps back in a panic, crashing into the tree trunk behind her with a loud bang.

Perhaps Su Huaiqi bumped into it too hard, because the branch from which the little black snake was hanging was shaken up and down, and the little black snake seemed to have just coiled around the branch and hadn't even wrapped tightly before it was thrown straight down by the shaking branch.

"Hey, hey, be careful!" Su Huaiqi hurriedly tried to reach out and catch it, but when he remembered that the little black snake was also a snake, he immediately withdrew his outstretched hands and could only watch helplessly as the little black snake was thrown to the ground.

Little black snake: "..."

Having you is truly my blessing.

Su Huaiqi smiled apologetically at the little black snake, watching it crawl back to its original spot, leaving only its tail for him. He then dragged his aching legs and walked around to face the snake, smiling as he said:

"Sorry, I was just too excited to see you."

The little black snake didn't seem to want to pay attention to Su Huaiqi, and without even raising its head, it rested on the tree branch.

Su Huaiqi sensed that she seemed to be rejected by the snake, so she had to explain again, "I've come to see you many times before, bringing lots of delicious food, but you were never home. Now that you're back, I'll bring you more after lunch. Remember to wait for me."

Seeing that the little black snake still ignored him, and considering that it was almost lunchtime, Su Huaiqi had no choice but to leave the side courtyard temporarily, looking back every few steps, and head to the small flower hall.
