My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 86 - 070 The best is in the house

"Do you really like these little creatures?" Yun Qian asked.

Xu Chang’an thought for a moment and said, "I don’t dislike oviparous creatures, or rather, I quite like them."

Hearing this, Yun Qian bent down and threw the cat hair in her hand into the waste bin, then said, "I never saw you interested in these when we were on the island."

On the island, the most common sight was the fish.

Occasionally, Xu Chang’an would fetch some fish from the seaside to cook for her, and he would even hunt some wild animals from the mountains, coat them with oil, and roast them to a perfect crisp... the taste was not bad either.

As a result, in Yun Qian’s mind, sometimes "little pets" and "food" are synonymous.

"Miss, on our island, apart from fish, there were all animals I had never seen before. They couldn’t be pets." Xu Chang’an said helplessly.

"If you could keep a small pet, what would you want?" Yun Qian asked calmly.

Xu Chang’an, seeing the mild interest in his wife’s demeanor, could only say, "A Li Hua, like the Xiaohua I mentioned to you. Li Hua, known as Raccoon Slave in the mundane world, is adored by many scholars and poets. Correspondingly, Xiaohua is also quite popular on Muyu Peak."

"Really?" Yun Qian acknowledged, lightly twining her hair around her fingers, feeling Xu Chang’an’s hand around her waist, and after thinking a bit, said, "Since you like it, why not keep a Raccoon Slave as a plaything?"

"Do you like little pets?" Xu Chang’an asked.

Yun Qian said, "I don’t really feel anything for them. I can’t say I like them, and I can’t say I dislike them."

"That’s why I don’t keep one." Xu Chang’an loosened the hand around Yun Qian and stretched before laying down to stare at the ceiling, thinking that when he’s not home, Yun Qian already struggles to take care of herself, and adding a small pet to play with... he couldn’t imagine how that would go.

"I don’t quite understand." Yun Qian followed suit, lying down next to Xu Chang’an, resting her head on his arm, and said, "If you like it, just keep it; don’t worry about me."

"How should I put it." Xu Chang’an sighed, "Miss, why do you think people keep small pets?"

"For a purpose?"

"There is that reason, like having a dog to guard the house, or a cat to catch mice," Xu Chang’an smiled, "But if life is a bit better, it’s for liking them, or to alleviate loneliness. Miss, are you lonely?"

Yun Qian turned her head to meet Xu Chang’an’s gaze at close range, feeling his breath on her ear, then shook her head.

She did not feel lonely now.

"Nor do I," Xu Chang’an said as if it were only natural.

Yun Qian pondered for a while and said, "But you said you like them."

This has nothing to do with whether he feels lonely or not.

Yun Qian always believed, as long as it’s something he likes, he should go for it without reservations.

She rolled gently, turning along Xu Chang’an’s arm and lying beside him, half her body’s weight pressing on him, "If you like it, you can keep it."

"But I already have Miss," Xu Chang’an said.

"Me?" Yun Qian propped herself up, sitting slightly, "What do you take me for?"

"My wife."

"And you still say this."

"What did I say?"

"Saying I am a little pet," Yun Qian stared at Xu Chang’an’s face.

Before him was a visage as noble as a god, cold and exceptional, not of the mortal realm. Xu Chang’an looked at Yun Qian’s face without blinking.

"Even if I did, you would be the most beautiful one," Xu Chang’an coughed gently, "Don’t you like it?"

"It’s not that I dislike it."

"I was joking," Xu Chang’an said.

"I know." Yun Qian nodded.

"..."

Xu Chang’an meant something simple. Although he usually took care of Xiaohua, that was when he was alone.

If he were with Yun Qian, given there was time to care for cats and tease Xiaohua, why not spare some time to care more for Miss Yun?

If there’s time to feed a cat, it would be better to cook, massage, and relax Yun Qian, which she would surely enjoy.

Moreover, one look at Yun Qian, and you could tell she wasn’t interested in pets.

Unless... There’s a chance in the future he turns into a cat or a dog, maybe that would spark Yun Qian’s interest in these things.

"..."

Yun Qian looked at Xu Chang’an, thinking that since he’s reluctant to keep a Raccoon Slave, then they’ll not keep one. Anyway, she doesn’t mind, and Xu Chang’an already knows her stance, which is enough.

Resting on Xu Chang’an’s arm, looking at the lock of hair evidence of a cut on his head, Yun Qian said, "You’re also peculiar. I can never figure out what you’re thinking."

Xu Chang’an heard that, smelling the faint soap scent by his side, "Miss, you’re also peculiar; if you want to know something, wouldn’t it be easier to just ask me?"

He was different from Yun Qian. Whatever she wanted to know, there was nothing he wouldn’t tell her,

including the existence of the System. He didn’t mention it because he didn’t want Yun Qian to worry, or perhaps... he feared that knowing about the System would trouble her.

In retrospect, if he doesn’t mention it, Yun Qian wouldn’t know there’s such a thing as a System.

"I don’t know what to ask." Yun Qian said, "When is that Miss Wen you mentioned coming over?"

"There’s still some time, no rush," Xu Chang’an said, "I’ve already thought about it, I’ll serve her with tea."

Muyu Peak emphasizes the Six Arts for Women, and there’s a saying that tea connects all six arts, and six arts assist tea.

Tea can make the melody from the qin more serene in its realm. freewёbnoνel.com

Tea can refresh and stimulate the mind, making chess moves more profound.

Whether tasting tea while reading or practicing calligraphy, the girls will appear leisurely and elegant, perfectly at ease.

After wine, tasting light tea feels even more refreshing with its aroma touching one’s heart and breath.

Tea is more customary and proper than alcohol for hospitality on Muyu Peak, so Xu Chang’an decided to entertain Wen Li with tea.

"Invite her for tea?" Yun Qian asked.

"Hospitality always requires a bit of formality." Xu Chang’an asked, "Miss doesn’t like tea, right?"

"Mm." Yun Qian nodded, Xu Chang’an has brewed tea before, and she had tasted some. The taste wasn’t particularly good, somewhat strange, with a hint of sweetness. After drinking, her tongue felt somewhat astringent, so she didn’t drink it again afterward.

Compared to tea that lifts the spirits, she preferred wine that entertains, after all... to raise a glass and enjoy to the fullest.

"After she arrives, do I also have to drink?" Yun Qian blinked, knowing that there’s etiquette involved in drinking tea.

"I’ll handle it." Xu Chang’an said, "Miss just needs to sit by."

Though technically, Yun Qian should personally entertain her Guide, he and Yun Qian are considered as one.

"Why are you replacing me in having tea with her, is it because I don’t know tea etiquette?" Yun Qian asked.

"?"

A question mark appeared above Xu Chang’an’s head.

Yun Qian’s physique is weak; tea can invigorate and contains stimulants, so drinking tea causes symptoms like after jogging, rapid heartbeats leading to palpitations... the last time she had tea, it caused palpitations for an entire hour.

As for wine, since he only purchases sweet or fruit wines, Yun Qian could consume a little.

"Miss, your body’s condition, do I still need to explain?" Xu Chang’an said helplessly.
