 Chapter 29: Warm Fragrance and Soft Jade in Embrace

Xiao Dazhuang stared at him wide-eyed, "How long have we been waiting today? Li Chengbin has been acting arrogantly every day, causing trouble and delaying things. If he doesn't repay the debt today, let's see how we deal with him! And your big mouse call scared Sister-in-law. If Brother Cheng doesn't come out tonight, should we still go to collect the debt?" Luo Sixteen leaned against the wall, not bothering to stand properly, with a wicked smile on his face, "I just casually made a noise. I didn't know Bai Lu is afraid of mice. In our remote place where nothing happens, mice are not uncommon." Although what he said was true, Xiao Dazhuang was still angry, "So what do we do now?" "Just wait," Luo Shiliu replied casually. Sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, he looked like he was used to waiting for a hare at the roots of a tree. "What if Brother Cheng doesn't come out tonight?" Wang Hao was anxious. Chen Chunli knew why he was here. If he went back without good news, there would surely be trouble. Luo Shiliu grinned, "Your little Li is throwing a tantrum again?" Chen Chunli's temperament was well-known among them. Every time they gathered for a meal, she could create chaos. Wang Hao couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face but had to explain, "She's scared to sleep alone at night. It's common for pregnant women. Sister-in-law is the same. When she heard the mouse call just now, she got scared and threw herself into Brother Cheng's arms." Luo Shiliu just smiled and didn't say anything. "That's different!" Xiao Dazhuang argued earnestly, "Sister-in-law won't hit Brother Cheng, but Chen Chunli might hit you." They had witnessed it several times. On the day Wang Hao was released from the police station, there were still many people outside. Chen Chunli grabbed Wang Hao's ears and scolded him loudly. She even started hitting Wang Hao. Although it wasn't on his face, it still made Wang Hao lose face in the street. Many passersby gathered to watch the spectacle. Bai Lu wouldn't behave like that. Even during the time when her relationship with Brother Cheng was not good, she just lowered her head when they met. Now, whenever she saw Brother Cheng, she not only smiled sweetly every time, but also cooked delicious meals, waiting outside after a hard day's work for Brother Cheng to come home so they could eat together. They had seen it several times. She was not comparable to Chen Chunli in terms of gentleness and consideration. Luo Shiliu just smiled and remained silent. "Then what?" Xiao Dazhuang asked, a little puzzled. Wang Hao sighed, "Just wait. If Brother Cheng doesn't come out later, we'll go home and sleep." — When Xiao Cheng opened his eyes, the night had just dissipated, and a faint light was emerging on the horizon. A trace of dawn entered through the window gap, accompanied by the chirping of early birds in the backyard, and the shallow breath beside him. He paused, his gaze subtly shifting, and the girl's sweet sleeping face with a slightly reddened cheek came into view. The warm and soft sensation in his embrace, the small hand holding onto his waist, brought back memories of the previous night like a tidal wave. After soothing Bai Lu to sleep, he had considered getting up and leaving several times. However, every time he made a slight movement, Bai Lu would tightly hug him. Her hands, like white jade chains, bound his waist, preventing him from moving. With closed eyes, she would murmur words expressing fear. Several attempts later, he found himself in a position where his arm served as her pillow. Any slight movement would cause her to frown and show signs of waking up, humming restlessly in his arms. He decided not to move and slept like that. He had expected it to be uncomfortable and thought he wouldn't be able to sleep well with an extra person in his arms, but to his surprise, he slept soundly through the night till morning. Xiao Wei couldn't remember the last time he had slept so well amidst the challenges he faced over the years. Suddenly, a gentle knocking sound came from outside. Xiao Wei had gotten up early today, cooked noodles and porridge by himself, and wanted to check if his big brother and Bai Lu wanted to eat. He hesitated outside the door for a while before gathering the courage to knock. He didn't want to disturb them, but he had cooked too much noodles, and leaving them for too long would turn them into a lump. "Have your meal first." It seemed like the man knew what the little guy outside wanted to say. His low and lazy voice came from inside the room, lighter than usual, as if deliberately lowering it. Xiao Wei knew he had disturbed them and responded softly, "Okay." He added, "There are noodles in the kitchen," and eagerly awaited a reply. In the tense expectation, when the man's extremely low voice finally sounded a simple "Hmm," Xiao Wei immediately stepped joyfully, tiptoeing toward the kitchen. After finishing breakfast, washing the bowls, and cheerfully grabbing a small hoe, he went to the backyard to visit the vegetable garden and feed the old hen. Bai Lu, who had competed with the big boss all night, slept until dawn before waking up. Opening her eyes, she felt confused for a moment, then remembered that she hadn't prepared breakfast for the Xiao Wei. She immediately sat up like a carp leaping out of the water, casually put on a thick cotton coat, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen. "Xiao Wei, it's too late to make breakfast now. If you eat and then go to school, you'll be late. Why don't you buy sticky rice chicken and soy milk on the street and eat on the way..." While talking, Bai Lu took out money and was about to hand it to Xiao Wei when she raised her head and was dumbfounded. There was no Xiao Wei in the kitchen, only a tall and long-legged ice-cold big boss holding two steaming bowls of noodles, walking leisurely outside. As he passed by her, he casually dropped a sentence, "Today is the weekend." "So..." Bai Lu was stunned, and asked honestly, "Where did Xiao Wei go?" "To the backyard." Xiao Cheng, in an annoyed tone, sat down after arranging the chopsticks. Leaning back on the wooden stool, he gazed at the slightly messy Bai Lu as if saying— Why haven't you gone to wash up? The noodles will get cold! Bai Lu's eye twitched slightly. She quickly squeezed toothpaste, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and tidied herself up. She went to the dining table to have a meal with the big boss. Just as she had started eating her noodles, a loud and urgent knocking sound echoed. It was forceful, as if it foretold something big happening. Xiao Cheng got up to open the door. Just as Bai Lu put down her chopsticks, ten people in police uniforms, with stern and cold expressions, walked in like a team of soldiers as soon as the door opened, marching toward the main house. "We received a report that your house is harboring prohibited items." The leader, with a cold face, showed a search warrant to the indifferent Xiao Cheng. While speaking, other policemen had already started searching. Every room in the main house, the kitchen, and the woodshed had someone entering, and the sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets intermittently reached their ears. Xiao Cheng was a frequent visitor to the Ping City Police Station. He was familiar with both the old and new people there. However, he had never seen this team of ten people before—they were all unfamiliar faces. Seeing that Xiao Cheng was about to speak, Bai Lu immediately stepped forward and grabbed his hand, shaking her head gently. These people were sent by "the other side" of the city. Obstructing official duties could be a crime that could be decided with just a few words. Xiao Cheng knew what was in the house. But looking at Bai Lu's slightly anxious eyes, the impatience that had just risen in his heart was inexplicably calmed. The words he was about to say were held back.
