I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Chapter 88 The Awkward Man in Black

Su Banxia picked up many mushrooms along the way, then gathered some wild fruits and dug up some wild vegetables before heading up the mountain. As soon as she entered the courtyard, a small, furry black creature rushed out.

Su Banxia instinctively reached out and caught it. The little black creature, its head tilted to one side, fell asleep whimpering in Su Banxia's arms.

"Where did the puppy come from?"

Wei Kezhi frowned as he looked at the black creature Su Banxia was holding and said:

"I found it by the roadside yesterday when I came back. I felt sorry for it, so I brought it back. I didn't expect it to be so noisy. I'm trying to chase it down the mountain right now."

Seeing Wei Kezhi's worried expression, Su Banxia couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're so tactless. This puppy is so cute. It's so lonely up here on the mountain. It would be nice to have a puppy to keep you company."

Seeing Su Banxia happily hugging the puppy, Wei Kezhi's brows immediately relaxed.

"You like it? If I keep it in the yard, will you be able to come up the mountain to see it often in the future?"

Su Banxia stroked the little black dog's fluffy head and nodded with a smile:

"Of course! It's so cute and very affectionate with me. By the way, what's its name?"

Seeing that Su Banxia genuinely liked him, Wei Kezhi's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

"It doesn't have a name yet. Why don't you give it one? I'll just keep it in this yard."

Su Banxia nodded, looking at the puppy in her arms, and said:

"It's so black, let's just call it Little White."

Wei Kezhi stood there stunned for a long while, muttering to himself:

"Is it because it's black that it's called Little White?"

Su Banxia, ​​carrying the puppy, walked to the stove and spoke to Wei Kezhi, who was still standing there dumbfounded:

"What are you standing there for? Since you've decided to adopt it, you should at least make it a doghouse in the yard, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi quickly nodded in agreement.

"Oh, okay, I'll make it for it right away. There's some dried bamboo left in the backyard, enough to build it a bigger doghouse."

Su Banxia carefully placed Xiaobai in the grass nest in the yard and then busied herself starting a fire to cook.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard was peaceful and serene. Su Banxia was busy by the stove, Xiaobai was sleeping in the straw nest, and Wei Kezhi was busy making a doghouse for Xiaohei.

The two men in black, hiding in the tree branches outside, exchanged a glance and spoke:

"Do you think that if our master really starts living in this little bamboo house now, he might not want to come back to the capital with us in the future?"

"Probably not. I think Master really likes this woman. If that happens, we'll just tie her up and take her back to the capital. Master will surely go back with her."

The two men in black were talking animatedly when the aroma of food in the courtyard made their stomachs rumble. However, they couldn't go down yet; they could only wait until Su Banxia left before they could go down and eat some leftovers.

After Wei Kezhi was injured last time, the person in the capital was worried about his safety and specially sent two bodyguards to protect him.

Although Wei Kezhi was unwilling to be monitored like this, he couldn't afford to offend the person in the capital who had been kind to him, so he had no choice but to let them do as they pleased.

Su Banxia brought the food into the room after preparing it. Xiao Bai, who was lying next to her, smelled the aroma of the food and lost her sleepiness, circling around Su Banxia's legs.

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly set aside some food for it, and Xiaobai ate it up with gusto.

"Brother Wei, don't bother with that. Come inside and eat first. After you finish eating, I'll help you cook."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi excitedly exclaimed:

"Okay, boss!"

The two people on the tree branch looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.

"Wait, who did that girl call 'little brother' just now?"

"Okay, it seems they're calling us 'master'..."

"What did our master call her just now?"

"Okay, it seems so, it's the boss..."

The two fell silent...

They had never seen Wei Kezhi smile, nor had they ever seen him call anyone "boss." Even the man in the Eastern Palace had never heard Wei Kezhi call him "brother." Now, Wei Kezhi was actually calling this village girl "boss," and doing it so naturally...

At this moment, the two were completely dumbfounded. It seemed that this girl was someone they absolutely could not mess with in the future, otherwise Wei Kezhi would devour them alive, and even if they had several lives, they wouldn't be enough for Wei Kezhi to kill.

Su Banxia had no idea that there were two men in black perched on the branches of a tree outside the courtyard. They had just said they were going to kidnap Su Banxia and take her to the capital, but now that they saw her again, they felt their livers tremble.

After having lunch with Wei Kezhi, they cleaned up the dishes together and went to the yard to help Xiaobai build a doghouse. Su Banxia directed from the side, while Wei Kezhi did the actual work.

For Su Banxia, ​​it was just an ordinary day, but for Wei Kezhi, it was a rare moment of peace and tranquility. It was a scene he dared not even dream of. Now, looking at Su Banxia's smile, it felt like a dream.

Wei Kezhi was very worried that this peace would be lost. Ever since the assassins from the capital arrived, Wei Kezhi had been having nightmares, always dreaming about things from his childhood.

He had witnessed the cruel methods used by those in the capital to climb the social ladder and vie for favor since childhood, and he had also experienced the practice of trampling people underfoot for the sake of profit and power.

Therefore, ever since he was ambushed for no apparent reason last time, and now that two assassins from the capital have come to guard him, Wei Kezhi could sense that his return to the capital was probably just around the corner.

However, he never wanted to return to the capital. If he could, he hoped to stay in Dwarf Mountain for the rest of his life, by Su Banxia's side, because there was no one else in the world who could make him care so much.

He cherishes the time he spends with Su Banxia and wishes he could stay by her side every moment. He can't even imagine what Su Banxia would do if he suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that Wei Kezhi seemed distracted, Su Banxia spoke up:

"What's wrong, little brother? Is something on your mind?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi quickly came to his senses and stammered:

"No, it's nothing. I just ate too much and now I feel a little sleepy."

Su Banxia said with a smile:

"Then you should go back to your room and sleep. The doghouse is almost finished. I'll finish the rest. Once I'm done, I'll head down the mountain and come see you and Xiaobai again tomorrow."

Wei Kezhi shook his head.

"No, no need. There's only this much left. I'll be done once I finish it. Banxia, ​​can you promise me that you'll never leave without saying goodbye?"

Looking at Wei Kezhi's serious expression, Su Banxia suddenly felt a pang of anxiety, then smiled and said:

"Yes, I promise you, I won't leave without saying goodbye. Besides, my house will be finished soon, which will make it easier for me to go up the mountain or for you to go down."
