On the second night of Gu Nan Yi’s return, her face suddenly broke out into a bright smile after pressing her face to the door and listening to the motions inside. Feng Zhi Wei’s face was also pressed against the door at that moment and jumped with surprise when she turned her head to see the big grin on the kid who had been going around with a sad face. Just when Feng Zhi Wei started to wonder if the kid had lost her mind, Gu Zhi Xiao held a finger to her lips and made a “Shush” sound before dragging her to the side and whispering to her nonsensically “Yiyi Daddy is fine now!” 

Fine? Fine with what? Feng Zhi Wei whose face was also pressed against the window but did not hear anything, stared at the child’s grinning face and wondered if she should get Zong Chen to take a look at her. Before she could finish that thought, she heard a slight sound of the door followed by Zong Chen coming out with a smile on his face. Seeing the two of them eavesdropping outside, Zong Chen laughed and said, “I just forced out most of the poisoned blood, he is okay now, you two don’t need to hide outside all night anymore.” 

Feng Zhi Wei was overjoyed to hear Zong Chen’s words. Yet, in her joy, her heart also ached as she looked at the little child’s bright smiling face. Zhi Xiao truly was raised by Gu Nan Yi. He carried her on his shoulder, personally bathed her, and changed her diapers. Even when they slept, they slept hugging like two bears. Despite having no blood relations at all, their relationship far surpasses biological father and daughter or else Zhi Xiao would not be this sensitive to Gu Nan Yi’s condition. She pondered for a moment, carried her to the side, and patted her head, “Do you want to sleep in a different place? Hmm, a place with breeze, stars, very open and comfortable.”

Gu Zhi Xiao was indeed very clever, and immediately pointed at the roof above Gu Nan Yi’s room, “There!”

Feng Zhi Wei stared at her for a bit, picked her up and muttered, “Why are you not as guileless as your dad…”

In a few moves, the one big and one small figure laid down comfortably on the not so comfortable roof tiles. Feng Zhi Wei took off her outer robe for Gu Zhi Xiao to lay on, not minding the fact that the thin robe was probably not much of a cushion– although girls need to grow up pampered but a girl in their family don’t need to be raised pampered, pampering would only lead to death. (There is a Chinese saying that girls need to be raised pampered while boys need to be raised roughly.)  

Besides, with Zong Chen with them, the little girl is very healthy. 

With her hands behind her head, Gu Zhi Xiao laid by her like an adult. She has always been only attached to Gu Nan Yi, while treating everyone else with indifference…there is even a slight sense of her looking down on you in that indifference, and that it is her bestowing a great favor on you if she is willing to touch you the slightest. Feng Zhi Wei often wonders where this kid got this sort of air? Her Gu Xiao Dai (his nickname) is very approachable so perhaps she brought it from the womb? 

“Sigh…” Little Miss Gu looked up at the starry sky and let out a long sigh. 

Feng Zhi Wei ignored her, squinting her eyes as she listened to the movements below. 

An hour later. 

“Sigh…” Little Miss Gu let out her hundredth long sigh. 

Feng Zhi Wei couldn’t take it anymore. She turned and whispered in her ear, “I say, Zhi Xiao, we women don’t need to dilly-dally around when we want to do something. If you want to peek, then just peek, I will pretend I didn’t see anything.” 

Gu Zhi Xiao was silent for a while, sniffled her little nose, patted Feng Zhi Wei and said in a deep serious voice, “Auntie, you are not bad.” 

“Thank you for the compliment.” Feng Zhi Wei replied in a deep, serious voice. 

Gu Zhi Xiao stopped sighing, got up energetically, threw the robe to the side before she slowly and carefully moved the roof tiles. Feng Zhi Wei laid sleeping to the side, not helping. Be it killing people or being a Peeping Tom, Feng Zhi Wei feels that they are both something one has to experience for oneself. At most, she would just give her some tips with her eyes half closed, “Be soft with your hands, move your body back a bit, be careful not to move the tiles under your foot…” 

Gu Zhi Xiao was completely focused on moving the tiles. Half asleep, Feng Zhi Wei said, “I say, you only need to move one tile to peek. Do you really think your dad can’t hear? Or are you really planning to tear off your dad’s roof?”

No answer.

Feng Zhi Wei turned her head to see Gu Zhi Xiao laying over a really big hole, her buttock poking out like a groundhog, not moving. 

Eh? What is she looking at that she is so engrossed in? 

Just when Feng Zhi Wei was about to lean her head over to take a look herself, Gu Zhi Xiao quickly turned her body around, pointing her buttock right in her face. Feng Zhi Wei promptly backed away, patted the little round buttoms and laughed, “Did your dad discover you?”

Gu Zhi Xiao didn’t answer but was gasping and hissing as her hands gripped the hole opening until she suddenly muttered, “We women don’t need to dilly-dally around when we want to do something.”

“Ah?” Feng Zhi Wei looked over with an expression of astonishment. 

What greeted her was the sight of Little Miss Gu, hair standing up, her face flushing bright red, her little noise twitching excitedly, her big eyes burning with a wolfish glint as she abruptly stood up and let out a wolfish howl:

“Daddy ah—- I—- Am— Coming—-”

Shoo, off she goes with her head down. 

Resolutely disappearing into the hole on the rooftop.

*Plop*

It seemed to be the sound of something falling into the water. 

Feng Zhi Wei’s hair also stood up on its end, as she stared dumbfounded at the empty hole, utterly unable to understand what had just happened. 

It seemed, Gu Zhi Xiao, jumped down?

What had happened, that caused the Peeping Tom to resolutely jump? 

Suddenly remembering that when Gu Zhi Xiao had jumped down she went head first. Feng Zhi Wei panicked and called out, “Zhi Xiao! Zhi Xiao! Are you alright?” as she too jumped down resolutely. 

There was no light in the room. 

But the roof with the big hole allowed the light from the moon and countless stars to spill in. 

In the light of the stars and the moon, Feng Zhi Wei fell straight down and in her fleeting field of vision, she vaguely saw in the darkness directly facing her, the air was filled with hot steam, the water rippled down, a cascade of crystal wall was formed as someone stood up soaking wet from the water. In the starry light, he raised his head slightly, with pure innocence and confusion, completely smooth and naked, as he looked toward her,

 *Bang*

Being in mid-air, Feng Zhi Wei didn’t have time to let out a wolfish howl or turn around to run away before she too, like Little Miss Gu, ended up right in a certain someone’s arm. 

Her body hit hard, causing Gu Nan Yi to jerk and almost let Feng Zhi Wei slip from his wet arms. 

Feng Zhi Wei only felt a white light flashing in front of her face before she landed steadily. She opened her eyes subconsciously and was greeted by the sight of a cherry blossom red, like a flower blooming on a jade-like white backdrop. 

 A poem instantly flashed across her mind: The shallow depth of the peach blossoms seemed to be the light makeup on the enchanting ladies. The spring breeze breaks the heart, and blows the blossoms off, causing them to fall onto my white robes. 

After the beauty induced bout of poetry passed, she abruptly realized what she was looking at!

“Ah!”

Feng Zhi Wei flicked like a fish, startling Gu Nan Yi who had not yet had time to react from being hit by two female Peeping Toms that had dropped from the sky. Gu Nan Yi’s hand slipped, and with a plop, Feng Zhi Wei fell miserably into the tub of a medicinal bath. 

The faint fragrance of the special medicinal was what hit her first. The water was very hot, hitting the tip of her nose with one wave after another. There was also something soft, that was also rubbing against her nose with each of the waves. 

Feng Zhi Wei’s eyes widened, and the realization hit her, she screamed again, but ended up drinking a mouth full of medicinal bath water. 

The sound of *Plop* was followed by more sound of cascading water. She was picked up by Gu Nan Yi, completely drenched in his hands as he looked at her left and right, seeming unable to understand what she was so worked up about.
