Just as Dong Shu walked to the door, Xu Shiqiu who had returned from his morning practice also walked in.

Dong Shu was currently dressed in simple clothes, with her long hair draped casually behind him. Although it was already spring, the weather was still cold early in the morning.

When Xu Shiqiu saw this Dong Shu, he immediately reached out and lifted her up from under her armpits.

”Why didn't you put on your clothes and shoes before coming out?”

Xu Shiqiu's tone was filled with a nervousness that even he himself did not realise, and after bringing Dong Shu into the room with large strides, he immediately put her on the bed.

Following his smooth movements, he was still thinking that he would need to bring a bucket of hot water to bathe the Young Girl in.

Dong Shu didn't know that after thinking about so many things in such a short time, she had just stood still and raised her hand to hug Xu Shiqiu's neck. Her head was naturally placed on his shoulder and her soft and tender voice sounded beside her ear, ”Husband, I thought you were gone.”

After hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu who was in her embrace stiffened for a moment.

This was the first time in his memory that someone other than his parents had taken the initiative to hug him.

With a bit of agitation, Xu Shiqiu lifted Young Girl's waist and explained: ”I'll be going for my morning practice.”

Sensing that the Young Girl in his arms was trembling a little because he was afraid, Xu Shiqiu for the first time wondered if he should change his habit of letting it change even after twenty years.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, but after hearing his explanation, she knew she was wrong.

Thinking about it, Dong Shu raised her head in joy. Her teary crescent eyes smiled. Because she was happy, his voice sounded like it contained honey as she said, ”I knew that my master wouldn't reject me.”
