'Krieet...' The beautiful girl closed the door very slowly trying not to make a loud noise because it could disturb the sleep of the boy in the room.
He jumped in shock as he turned his body after closing the door of the boy's room, a towering figure of a handsome man stood looking at him.
"Just surprise me!" His snort was upset by patting his chest as if ensuring the state of his heart.
Because this man did not cause a voice like a ghost that suddenly appeared just like that.
The man stepped forward to approach her and she reached out towards the girl's face. "Where is this wound?" He asked gently by stroking the soft wound on the girl's forehead.
His breathing felt so tickling as this was too close and their noses barely touched.
"What's? Oh this.. Unintentionally bumped," Xiu Qixuan replied with a blink of confusion before she finally understood and raised her arm to touch the wound on her forehead.
The girl had just wanted to heal this wound on her forehead with the aura of life but Sima Junke was instead present and intruded on it.
He had been accompanying and feeding Xiao Bao for dinner before the boy fell back asleep.
Xiu Qixuan twisted her body sideways and stepped past Sima Junke's body, "A Jun, what did you get?" Ask by walking towards the lounge to discuss.
Sima Junke walked up from behind and sat himself on a chair right next to Xiu Qixuan's body.
"What did you get?" He again glanced at Sima Junke with the corner of his tail, his movements busy wiping his wounds with a handkerchief.
Sima Junke just silently looked at him with a very deep look, the man lazily replied.
"Don't look at me like that. This is fine, "Smuck Xiu Qixuan
"Fraudulent! Wait here, I'll get the equipment to bandage your wounds." Sima Junke said quickly.
Xiu Qixuan hurriedly held back by pulling hard Sima Junke's arm which caused the man to fall back down, "No need, this is just a small wound. Quickly tell me, what did you find out about the bandits and Xiao Bao's family?" Ask impatiently.
Sima Junke let out a sigh of resignation, knowing that Xiu Qixuan did not want to be denied, that this girl had said that she was fine meant that she was fine.
This girl will not pretend because she has a very blunt nature.
"Xiao Bao?" Sima Junke muttered in confusion.
"Yes, Xiao Bao. That boy's name is Bao Yu, I'll call him little Bao." Xiu Qixuan
"The boy lived in a settlement not far from the fish market near Nanhai port, and the information I got was that the boy only had his mother as a family." Sima Junke said straightforwardly explaining.
"Poor Xiao Bao," muttered Xiu Qixuan narrowed her eyes sadly.
"It looks like you're close to the little boy" Sima Junke said looking at him with a seductive grin.
"Humph, you don't know. I've fought my way through hills and oceans, through thousands of fireball arrows to interact with them." Xiu Qixuan said in a very dramatic hyperbole.
Sima Junke chuckled amusedly and nodded his face then said confidently, "Yes, right. I believe, because your appearance is already so messy." amusedly.
"A Jun," Xiu Qixuan's flick was sharp.
"All right..all right.." Reply Sima Junke tried to stop her gel laughter.
After taking a deep breath, Sima Junke said again, "The bandits have long formed a group, but their actions in the last period are more troubling to the people of Nanbao. I've already told this to the Chieftain, they won't last much longer."
Xiu Qixuan nodded in satisfaction and yawned in drowsiness as the day grew late.

Two Days Later
The sun was shining very brightly over the horizon. The heat is like burning the earth, and most people avoid it by cooling in the house or in the shade of trees.
But very different most people, look three different types of humans and this age is spending time playing on the beach.
"Xiao Bao, don't go too far!" The girl's shout reminded a boy who had dipped half a body into the salt water of the ocean.
"Xuan'er, he was born and lived near the ocean, this kind of thing was common for him. What are you worried about" said the man who was relaxing sitting on the building's floor.
"Sure, he's still a kid!" Reply Xiu Qixuan did not want to lose.
Within the space of these two days of tying up the closeness of each other, Xiao Bao was already in a state of recovered health but it would probably take a long time to recover his mental health.
Sima Junke still had a little distance with the boy, inversely proportional to Xiu Qixuan who was already able to interact more.
This morning they took Xiao Bao to the mother's grave and invited the boy to pray in a small temple. Either because the boy was still too small to understand, he simply kept silent with a soulless flat face and followed all the instructions given by Xiu Qixuan.
Xiu Qixuan walked over to Sima Junke, who was sitting on the floor of the building, and he quickly settled himself right next to Sima Junke.
The girl sighed in exhaustion and wiped away the sweat flowing down her forehead that had returned smooth, "Huh, it's so hot." His complaint.
"Drink," Sima Junke said, offering a glass of water.
Xiu Qixuan received and gulped at him at lightning speed.
"Be careful, no one will take it from you." Sima Junke chuckled softly at this adorable girl with a face that was flushed and bloated like a little pig. Whether it's a compliment or a curse.
Xiu Qixuan who had finished cooling his body turned his side face right towards Sima Junke who was looking down looked very busy struggling with a square cube-shaped object.
"What are you doing?" Xiu Qixuan asked a curious face.
"Playing solved the puzzle arrangement of this wooden cube," Sima Junke replied not turning his head in the slightest.
"The toy looks very old" Xiu Qixuan said lightly because it was true that the wood carving on the puzzle had already been seen peeling off.
Sima Junke's hand instantly stopped upon hearing the girl's words.
He looked up and looked at Xiu Qixuan then said softly, "Right, this is very old. My mother gave it to me and until now I haven't finished this game."
Xiu Qixuan grimaced inwardly, she said something taboo and wrong for the umpteenth time.
Sima Junke arched a sweet smile, the man was like knowing that Xiu Qixuan was feeling innocent and uncomfortable. Then he said calmly, "You know, I just wanted to give this to Xiao Bao as a form of consolation. Maybe he can finish what I can't finish,"
Xiu Qixuan immediately smiled and nodded in understanding. But, curiously he grabbed the puzzle cube from Sima Junke's arm, "Then, I should also try to solve it." Speak with pride.
Sima Junke let the girl busy trying, he stepped up to replace Xiu Qixuan to look after Xiao Bao who was playing on the beach.
*********
Time passed so quickly, the beauty of twilight had already shimmered adorning the sky. The sun will soon set on the western horizon, the whirring of the wind and the sound of the waves so soothing to the human heart.
Since then Xiu Qixuan is still sitting on the floor of the building struggling with the wooden cube toy, trying to solve the puzzle and do not want to give up.
Sima Junke carried the body of Xiao Bao who had finished playing, their bodies wet and dirty by the sand.
He hurried over to Xiu Qixuan who was looking down busy alone. By the time he stood before the girl, "Xuan'er, it was almost dark. Xiao Bao—," He paused.
"A Jun, shut up! In a minute, I'm almost done." Sergey Xiu Qixuan firmly without even turning a face.
Sima Junke let out a sigh of resignation and shook his face slowly, He will not believe that Xiu Qixuan can solve that difficulty.
Xiao Bao's body was already shrinking in coldness due to the strong wind.
Sima Junke who was concerned about the state of this boy immediately rushed over to step in and deftly helped clean up also replaced the clothes Xiao Bao was wearing.
A few hours later, Xiao Bao was already asleep inside his room. Sima Junke was tidying up the cutlery that she and Xiao Bao were wearing for dinner last night.
While Xiu Qixuan was still busy struggling with that puzzle cube toy, she had already missed so much time to complete a game. Not really worth it!
Sima Junke walked up to the girl with a plate of dinner, then sat himself down right beside Xiu Qixuan.
"You want to ruin your body, huh?" Ask sharply
"No," Xiu Qixuan replied so briefly.
"Fastly eat and go inside, the night breeze is very cold!" Sima Junke's orders were firm
"Some time, almost a little more." Xiu Qixuan said unconcernedly.
'Prang,' Sima Junke put the plate down loudly making a loud sound.
It seems like the man is already very upset, "Return it!" His pocket raised his hand.
Xiu Qixuan only glanced at a glance and did not give any response.
Sima Junke angrily reached out to forcibly retrieve the toy.
Before finally a loud voice deafened his ears and stopped his actions, "Yeahh! A Jun, look at me already finished it," Shouted Xiu Qixuan with a very happy expression like winning the lottery.
Sima Junke's eyes widened in disbelief, he slowly shone his gaze at Xiu Qixuan's stalling hand revealing the neatly arranged puzzle cube toy.
"How is that possible?" He mumbled in disbelief.
"Of course, I'm very smart." Reply Xiu Qixuan proudly.
'Krek, ' suddenly the wooden cube toy peels off quickly and crumbles down.
Xiu Qixuan glared confusedly at the reflex motion pulling his arm making it fall onto the sandy ground. Meanwhile, Sima Junke who was also looking at it was slightly surprised and frowned confusedly.
Silent.
They looked at each other not knowing what was happening, Sima Junke reacted first to bowing his body and tracing the remains of the shattered object with his hands.
His hands stopped when he saw something strange. He slowly grabbed a small scroll made of oil paper.
Xiu Qixuan also looked at it curiously, they looked at each other questioningly.
"Open up," Xiu Qixuan's orders nodded her face trying to convince Sima Junke.
Sima Junke sighed and nodded approvingly, slowly doubtfully opening the scroll.
