Finally back in the courtyard.
Jiang Huai began sweeping the fallen leaves from the courtyard, while Chu Xianning went to the bathhouse to bathe. By the time Chu Xianning emerged from the bathhouse, Jiang Huai had already prepared a large table of dishes.
However, upon seeing the wine pot on the table, Chu Xianning glanced at Jiang Huai out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Huai blinked innocently.
“I won’t drink,” Chu Xianning’s voice was cold.
“I was just asking,” Jiang Huai guiltily put away the wine pot and ate his meal in silence with Chu Xianning. After dinner, he collected the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen. When he came out, Chu Xianning was sitting alone in the pavilion, watching the sunset.
The warm glow of the sunset fell completely upon her, making her pure white dress seem to shimmer with golden light. Even her eyelashes were tinged with a faint gold. She was like a frozen sculpture. Jiang Huai stood there, gazing at her for a moment, and then suddenly recalled all sorts of jumbled thoughts.
Why did he like Chu Xianning so much?
Was it because he had always been by her side since childhood, and because she was so, so beautiful, his heart had been eaten away by her bit by bit, making him so infatuated with her? The courtyard was always a world exclusively for the two of them.
If two monkeys were confined in the same cage for a long, long time, would they fall in love?
There were no answers to these questions.
Jiang Huai slowly walked behind Chu Xianning. She did not turn her head to look at him until Jiang Huai gently placed his hand on her shoulder. Chu Xianning slightly raised her head. The moment she turned, Jiang Huai gently pinched her shoulder with his fingertips.
She gave Jiang Huai a slightly grumbling look, but he merely blinked innocently again. Thus, she stopped speaking and quietly looked at the flowers in the courtyard. Jiang Huai’s fingertips gently kneaded her shoulder, as if that sliver of warmth was gradually passing into her body.
The sunset glow gradually dimmed. Jiang Huai said softly, “I’m going out for a bit, Master doesn’t need to leave the light on for me tonight.”
Chu Xianning gave a very soft, light reply. Only after Jiang Huai turned and walked out the door did she turn her head back, watching the door gently close behind Jiang Huai, and lightly bit her lips.

Of course, Jiang Huai had come to accompany Wanwan.
He had just returned to the sect and had been down the mountain for several days. Naturally, he had to spend quality time with Wanwan. When he arrived in the courtyard, Wen Wanwan and Fufu were sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the cool evening air. Wanwan was washing the fruits and vegetables they had bought, while Fufu, holding a copy of A Mumu’s “Warm Jade Exquisite Melody,” was lounging on a lounge chair and reading lazily. She was wearing a black nightgown, and her fair legs were wrapped in black stockings beneath it.
Jiang Huai also came and sat on a chair. Wen Wanwan quickly moved her chair over, placing it close to his. Her fragrant and soft body leaned against him. She had just washed some grapes and oranges, and her slender white fingers were carefully peeling a grape. After peeling it, she brought it to Jiang Huai’s lips. Jiang Huai let out a soft “ah” and bit down. The grapes were tender and juicy. Wanwan’s fingertips were still slightly damp, hovering by Jiang Huai’s lips. So, after finishing the grape, Jiang Huai obediently leaned in again, licking Wanwan’s fingers like a puppy.
Wen Fufu glanced over inadvertently and then couldn’t help but cover her face and complain, “Ew…”
A little while later, Wanwan, who was sitting beside him, placed her slender and fair thighs on Jiang Huai’s lap, leaning against him in a sideways position as she peeled grapes one by one. Jiang Huai obediently ate them, one by one. Occasionally, he would bite a grape and bring it to Wanwan’s lips. Wanwan would snatch it away with her tongue, and then a grape would be snatched back and forth between the two of them, until Wen Fufu, sitting at the side, finally couldn’t help but speak.
“Hey, hey, are you two acting like I don’t exist?”
Wen Fufu puffed out her cheeks, looking at the two of them indignantly. But Wen Wanwan turned to look at Wen Fufu first. “Does Fufu want to eat grapes too?”
“I want my sister to feed me too,” Wen Fufu pouted.
Wen Wanwan peeled a grape and brought it to her delicate pink lips, biting it lightly. She then looked at Wen Fufu in front of her. Wen Fufu immediately leaned closer, pounced beside her sister, gently grasped her shoulders, and immediately began to snatch the grape from Wanwan’s mouth. Jiang Huai, standing beside them, inhaled the scent of the two girls and watched them snatching from each other, their cheeks flushed red, the sound of splashing water faintly audible. For a moment, his head felt dizzy.
“You, do you sisters usually… usually like this?”
“Of course not,” Wen Fufu blinked innocently at Jiang Huai. “I just thought Brother-in-law would be very excited to see it, right?”
“…Whose wild idea is this again?”
Wen Fufu took out “Warm Jade Exquisite Melody” which she had placed aside earlier. She flipped to a passage about sisters cohabiting, with the male protagonist watching the two sisters battle it out on the bed, only the victor would be showered with affection that night… Good heavens, what kind of nonsense had she written in the past!
Wen Fufu also moved a chair and sat beside Jiang Huai. She peeled a grape and brought it to his lips. Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, then gently bit it. The next moment, Wen Fufu leaned closer, gently embraced his neck, and began to snatch his grape.
But Jiang Huai was more mischievous, and in the end, Wen Fufu didn’t get it, and he ate it instead.
Wen Fufu waved her small pink fists at his chest.
“Does Brother-in-law want to drink grape juice instead?” Wen Fufu blinked innocently at Jiang Huai, leaned closer, and reached out to pinch his face. “If Brother-in-law wants it, Sister can definitely do it.”
“Since you’ve said so, then I want to drink the juice that Fufu personally squeezed.”
“No, no, no,” Wen Fufu immediately reacted as if her tail had been stepped on, shaking her head and looking at him aggrievedly. She reached out and gently poked his face. “Fufu hasn’t been deflowered by Brother-in-law yet, how… how can I squeeze grapes…”
“You just want to bully my sister, right?”
“Wh-what bullying my sister? Maybe my sister just wants to feed Brother-in-law grape juice?”
Jiang Huai looked at Wen Wanwan, waiting for her to speak up and take care of Wen Fufu. But Wen Wanwan just gazed at Jiang Huai tenderly and said softly, “Wanwan can do it.”
Jiang Huai reached out and pinched her fair, tender face. “Has Fufu corrupted you?”
“Whatever Senior Brother Jiang Huai likes… Wanwan likes too.”
Wen Fufu suddenly thought of something, her eyes brightening. “Sister and I recently learned a dance. Does Brother-in-law want to see it?”
The topic of grape juice finally came to an end. Jiang Huai nodded like he was pounding garlic. Wen Fufu then grabbed Wen Wanwan’s hand and said, “Then Sister and I will go back to the room to change.”
But Jiang Huai, with his sharp eyes, noticed that as Wen Fufu pulled her sister back to the room, she was also holding a bunch of ice-cold grapes in her hand?
***
When Wen Wanwan and Wen Fufu came out, they had already changed into black dance skirts in the Northern Region style. The dancers of the Northern Region were the most alluring and seductive, and the style of their dance skirts was particularly bold. The bodice exposed a bit of their chests, and the shimmering silver chains reflected the moonlight. Below the bodice, their snow-white and slender waists were revealed. The hip-hugging skirt below barely covered their snow-white buttocks, and their slender, well-proportioned legs were completely exposed.
However, Wen Wanwan’s cheeks were flushed red, and she walked with extremely small, shuffling steps, as if she was particularly awkward.
When Jiang Huai saw Wen Wanwan’s gait, he felt something was not quite right. He was not a simpleton, so while watching Wen Wanwan and Wen Fufu’s dance… he paid no attention to Wen Fufu at all. His eyes were constantly fixed on Wen Wanwan, watching her sways, and on her snow-white, tender thighs, where a slight watery sheen seemed to be flowing, glistening under the lights.
After a short while, Wen Wanwan couldn’t take it anymore. She came to Jiang Huai’s embrace aggrievedly and whispered into his ear, “Fufu was being mischievous, the grapes were so cold…”
***
There were new tricks every time.
The night was deep. Jiang Huai held Wen Wanwan in his arms and gently coaxed her for a while. Wen Wanwan was already fast asleep in his embrace. At this moment, faint sweat beads still adorned her snow-white skin, making it even more delicate and smooth to the touch.
Because Fufu’s mischievous idea had ignited Jiang Xiaohuai’s lust, tonight he had been a little inconsiderate, and Wanwan’s body had been unable to bear it. She slept exceptionally soundly, and did not even wake up when Jiang Huai got up.
Jiang Huai got up because he noticed the light in the courtyard was on again. He opened the door, and outside was Wen Fufu, lying on a lounge chair, enjoying the cool air. Wen Fufu was wearing a black sling nightgown, and her calves were covered by slightly transparent black stockings. She was flipping through “Warm Jade Exquisite Melody” until she heard the door open. Wen Fufu blinked at him, “Brother-in-law, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
“I came to find Fufu for some grapes.”
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!” Wen Fufu immediately shook her head like a rattle drum, clutching her chest tightly with both hands, her legs clamped tightly together. He looked at Wen Fufu’s flustered and uneasy appearance and couldn’t help but laugh. He then went over and sat beside her. “Your sister was bullied quite a bit tonight.”
“Hmph, before you carried my sister back to her room, Fufu asked my sister if she wanted Fufu to help her twice… My sister said no herself!” Wen Fufu’s eyes flickered with a fox-like cunning. “Sister just looks very proper, but she’s actually not proper at all. When Brother-in-law isn’t here, she always holds the books written by Brother-in-law and asks me what this part means and what that part means.”
Jiang Huai reached out and pinched her little face. “Why do you always think of disturbing your sister?”
“How could I? It’s just that my sister is too embarrassed to say many things directly, so Fufu is just pushing the waves, the mastermind is actually my sister.” Wen Fufu answered righteously. Jiang Huai said “Oh” meaningfully and leaned closer to Wen Fufu’s snow-white face. “Then when can I eat Fufu?”
“Definitely not now,” Wen Fufu snorted. “As long as Brother-in-law can’t have me, he’ll always coax me and treat me well.”
“What kind of twisted logic is this again?”
“It’s from your book. It says that the more a man cannot get a woman, the more he will go crazy for her.”
“… I told you not to believe it!”
“Hmph, I think it makes quite a lot of sense.” Wen Fufu happily swung her black-stockinged legs. “What? Is Brother-in-law already impatient to eat Fufu?”
“Not exactly.”
“Or is Brother-in-law thinking about seeing Fufu and Sister on the same bed as soon as possible, and then piling Fufu and Sister on top of each other? Would Fufu be on the bottom or would Sister be on the bottom?”
Jiang Huai couldn’t help but pinch her face again, but Wen Fufu leaned closer and gently licked his finger with her delicate pink tongue. Her eyes were serious, as obedient as a kitten. Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, looking into her eyes. She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Huai, her eyes as cunning as a cat’s.
