HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
8 - Ling Qing Zhu (1)

Xiao Shuxiang had actually always given a category to every bond he forged. Starting from acquaintances, friends, relatives, relatives, family, teacher and student relations, adoptive families, husband-wife bonds, then soul mates.


To the other people's view, he and Ling Qing Zhu were husband and wife. But among them were still in the 'Friends' category'.


Xiao Shuxiang might look more hyperactive, but to be honest he never forced himself to get too close to his White Cat. While Ling Qing Zhu, everyone knew how beautiful the girl was.


"......."


Not that in this case Xiao Shuxiang did not like. He honestly liked the girl. Ling Qing Zhu was the one who stood by his side and protected him. His White Cat even held his hand and bravely opposed the many who wanted his death.


To be honest, Ling Qing Zhu had occupied a special place in his heart.


Only, Xiao Shuxiang was a tough young man. He may often act recklessly, shamelessly and sickly. But when it comes to the heart, its firmness still remains the same.


If Xiao Shuxiang had to choose between the safety of his own life or the life of Ling Qing Zhu-he would unhesitatingly sacrifice his White Cat.


Nothing is said 'Love', the expression is still forbidden even in dreams. Xiao Shuxiang would never leave his entire feelings to anyone. And when compared to Demonic Beasts-humans were the most unbelievable creatures.


"………… Xiang?"


"Shuxiang..?"


"Shuxiang."


!?


Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He began to wake up when he heard the voice of someone calling him. His eyes were clear when he saw that Ling Qing Zhu was already sitting before him.


"Aahs.. White Cat, when did you get in here? I didn't realize it,"


"You seem to think of something. What's up?" Ling Qing Zhu was actually already here about three minutes ago. There were two servants with him and they brought each a tray of food.


He had called his Guardian Guardian since earlier and Xiao Shuxiang had only just replied now.


Although his face still showed calmness, but he was worried that the young man before him was daydreaming without self-defense - someone could attack him suddenly.


"You're distracted by something?" Ling Qing Zhu asked back while putting some dishes on the table.


Xiao Shuxiang noticed there was a fresh and crispy bamboo shoot, a clear green cabbage with white rice, as well as a soft tofu dish that had a strong aroma of chili powder and a sprinkling of chives on it.


"Pull back the bamboo shoots and green cabbage, I just want this festive red one." Xiao Shuxiang's smile looked bright. He prefers strong-scented foods and is also a spicy enthusiast. No matter the content of her dish of vegetable soup or meat-as long as it looks red and strongly scented, she will definitely like it.


Ling Qing Zhu noticed how Xiao Shuxiang was eating. Although the Guardian was so chatty, mischievous and like to act arbitrarily-but when faced with food, this young man was so polite and graceful.


"White cat, you should take more time to learn to cook..." Xiao Shuxiang started again, "... All this time I've only been taken care of by servants, I didn't marry them. You're the one who should take care of me,"


"Hmphs. But I don't get married to take care of other people's children."


Xiao Shuxiang choked on hearing the answer from his White Cat. He looked at the girl before him and that facial expression contained absolutely no joking or anything.


"Hok ohok, my goodness. When married, is not a 'wife' who has to take care of 'husband'? What the fuck is the word 'I'm not married to take care of someone else'? Do you want to put it on my beautiful mother?"


"But I really am"


"If you're honest, you shouldn't talk spontaneously. You're a real bitch,"


Xiao Shuxiang puffed his cheeks and went back to eating. He did not realize that behind the thin veil-was a faint smile.


"White cat, what did you just say?"


"Nothing."


"Mn, really?" Xiao Shuxiang blinked, he confused himself and then shook his head slowly. "... It's just my feelings,"


Ling Qing Zhu also blinked. Suddenly getting such a response made her nervous. This kind of thing has not happened for a long time and is almost forgotten.


"You're not eating?" Xiao Shuxiang was already halfway through with the dishes on the table and had only offered Ling Qing Zhu just now.


"I practice inedia, no need to eat."


"Oh... A good girl. I also practice inedia. But you should know there's a limit to every ability. People like us can at times endure not eating and drinking, but once you reach your limits - then it doesn't take long until your energy and spiritual energy will degenerate. So don't torture yourself if there's food in front of you, okay. Well, now you're eating too."


Ling Qing Zhu blinked as he was thrust a lump of rice by Xiao Shuxiang. Either this young man was conscious or not, but he knew that the rice had already reached his mouth before it was given to him.


"Shameful."


"Now what's my fault?"


"I can eat by myself."


Xiao Shuxiang had just regained his senses, he went back to eating his rice. "You can't get a little romantic. I used to bribe with Brother Jing, what's so embarrassing about that...?"


"I don't care. You can even do it with Young Master Lan or Yi Wen. No need to involve me."


"But Lan Zhi likes cleanliness."


"I am too."


Watching firsthand the conversation between Ling Qing Zhu and Xiao Shuxiang made the two servants who were inside the room look at each other. 


They were like thinking of one thing - their Young Miss and Xiao Shuxiang had a world that no one else could enter. It felt like they were just the air in this room.


"Shuxiang, you haven't answered my question."


"You never let me go, Dad? I was thinking about the future, that's all." Xiao Shuxiang asked for back the fresh bamboo shoots that he had not previously wanted. It was fortunate that his habit had been known to Ling Qing Zhu and the servants that the dish was not brought into the kitchen anymore.


"Future.. Likewhat?" There was no nervousness and the like when Ling Qing Zhu asked. His unpredictable personality was also something of interest to Xiao Shuxiang.


"I won't tell you. People say planning about the future should not be spelled out, because it may not be as expected."


"Mrs..." Ling Qing Zhu looked as Xiao Shuxiang poured water for herself. He also remembered the meeting agenda of his family earlier and then began to speak out.


"Shuxiang's.."


"Mn? What's up?" Xiao Shuxiang is done. He praised anyone who had already cooked food for him. Really awesome dish.


"My family... Discussing to seal your powers."


?!
