Su Fuliu nodded: "Then it needs to be tied up properly."
Qin Shi took off his coat and lay down on the bed. He just lay there without moving, and a frightened little rabbit had already quietly snuggled up to him.
Su Fuliu moved closer to Qin Shi and felt much more at ease when she could feel his warmth.
Qin Shi hadn't expected this tactic to be so effective.
Now, Su Fuliu not only stops running around, but also actively sticks to him.
He should have been happy, but he felt inexplicably angry and asked, "Would you cling to your prince like this?!"

Chapter 127 Why don't you go and clarify this?
Su Fuliu was taken aback: "Why would I cling to our prince?"
"How would I know? I was just asking casually," Qin Shi replied.
"You still say you don't like our Prince, yet you keep asking about him." Su Fuliu laughed.
"..." Qin Shi was speechless for a moment, then said, "If you say that again, I'm not going to take care of you anymore. I'm leaving right now, leaving you here alone to wait for wild beasts to come and carry you away!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." Su Fuliu immediately shut her mouth obediently.
Then, the air suddenly became quiet.
Qin Shi glanced at the little dummy clinging to him and sighed inwardly.
Su Fuliu clung to Qin Shi's arm, using it both as a pillow and to reassure herself.
However, as he sniffed, he noticed that Qin Shi's scent was very similar to Feng Muting's.
Is he possessed?
Why is he still thinking about Feng Muting even after leaving the Prince Ting's mansion?
I always felt that Qin Shi resembled Feng Muting.
It must be because Feng Muting left too much of a shadow on him.
After a long while, Qin Shi finally said, "Go to sleep early."
"Yes, I'm entrusting my personal safety to you, so you have to protect me, okay?" Su Fuliu said.
"Don't worry," Qin Shi replied.
Although it was only two words, Su Fuliu felt incredibly at ease upon hearing them.
Gradually, he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning.
Then someone started knocking on the door.
This instantly startled Su Fuliu awake: "Is a wild beast here?!"
"No, someone is knocking on the door," Qin Shi reassured.
Su Fuliu breathed a sigh of relief. He had a nightmare all night, dreaming that he was being chased by wild beasts and desperately shouting "Your Highness, save me!" but Feng Muting didn't come. He was so anxious.
Then, Qin Shi got up and went to open the door.
The man outside, seeing no response from inside, was about to knock again when Qin Shi opened the door and said with a smile, "Chieftain..."
Before he could speak, Qin Shi said in an unhappy tone, "Is that how you knock on the door? You'll break it!"
The man paused for a moment: "I've always knocked like this..."
"Still talking back?"
"..."
At this moment, Su Fuliu, dressed, came over, intending to check if anything was wrong.
When the man saw him approaching, his eyes widened instantly, like copper bells. Although he didn't say anything, Su Fuliu understood the meaning in his eyes and blushed immediately.
He really wanted to explain, but the man didn't say anything, only his eyes conveyed the meaning. If he were to explain, wouldn't it just seem like he was trying to cover something up?
So, blushing, he quickly turned around and went back to his room to avoid the awkward situation.
Qin Shi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Su Fuliu like this.
Seeing him smile, the man assumed he wasn't angry and said, "Chieftain..."
But before he could finish speaking, Qin Shi turned to look at him and his expression suddenly changed.
The smile was gone, replaced by anger.
The man trembled and dared not utter a sound.
Then Qin Shi said, "Why aren't you saying anything? You've been knocking on the door since early morning, and it's been half a day since we opened it, but you still haven't said anything!"
"..." The man was a little annoyed. Was it because he didn't want to say it?
He took a breath and said, "Breakfast is ready. Aunt Xu sent her subordinate to call you, Chief, to eat."
"Aunt Xu is back?"
"Yes, she came back in the early hours of the morning. When she heard that you, Chief, were back, she didn't rest and immediately ran to the kitchen to make breakfast for you."
Qin Shi nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll be right there."
"Yes." The man nodded and left.
Qin Shi turned around and went back into the house, where he saw Su Fuliu sitting there with her face flushed red, like a roasted sweet potato, both red and hot.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
Su Fuliu came back to her senses: "I was thinking, how can I have my cake and eat it too?"
"With your brain, I'm afraid it won't work," Qin Shi replied.
"..." Su Fuliu snorted, "Do you know what I'm thinking? You're just making fun of me?"
"If I didn't know, would I be here mocking you?" Qin Shi retorted.
"..."
"It's simply a matter of safety versus reputation. Which is more important, and how can we have both?"
Su Fuliu was taken aback. Was it that easy to guess? How could he know what he was thinking so quickly?
"Why don't you go and clarify things?"

Chapter 128 Good-looking people are usually good cooks.
Qin Shi smiled and said, "You want me to gather everyone and announce to them that we only have a friendly employer-employee relationship, not what they think?"
Su Fuliu nodded.
"Don't you think this is a bit like protesting too much?" Qin Shi retorted.
After hearing this, Su Fuliu fell silent.
"Alright, why think so much? Let's hurry up and wash up, then I'll take you to get something good to eat," Qin Shi said.
"Delicious food?!" Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Su Fuliu's worries instantly vanished. She decided to wait until she had filled her stomach before worrying about anything else.
After that, he followed Qin Shi to a small, private room with only a table and a few chairs, which seemed to be Qin Shi's special dining area.
Breakfast was already laid out on the table, and Qin Shi led Su Fuliu over to sit down.
I had just sat down when Aunt Xu came in.
When she came in, she was taken aback to see Su Fuliu.
Qin Shi laughed and said, "This is my employer, Su Fuliu. He had nowhere to go, so I brought him here."
Aunt Xu glanced at Su Fuliu and said, "The person who would let you bring me here must not be an ordinary employer."
"Hmm, it is... unusual," Qin Shi replied.
Then he introduced Su Fuliu: "This is Aunt Xu, my mother's best friend."
Su Fuliu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Hello, Aunt Xu."
Aunt Xu laughed: "Such an obedient child doesn't seem like your employer at all, more like someone you kidnapped."
Qin Shi choked up.
Su Fuliu couldn't help but laugh: "I'm so smart, he can't steal me away. I really am his employer."
Aunt Xu laughed along, "Then you must be a very special employer. You know, Qin Shi has never brought anyone back before. You're the first."
Su Fuliu was a little touched when she heard this. She didn't expect that Qin Shi had never brought anyone to this village before, and he was the first.
Suddenly, he realized that his little golden flower was worth it.
Aunt Xu glanced at it twice and said, "Alright, hurry up and eat. I spent all morning making this. Qin Shi, you haven't been back for a long time. Try it and see if it still tastes the same as before?"
Qin Shi nodded and then looked at Su Fuliu: "Your cooking skills are excellent. Why don't you try Aunt Xu's cooking?"
Su Fuliu nodded, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but just as he was about to taste it, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.
He then looked at Qin Shi and asked, "How do you know I'm a good cook?"
Qin Shi was taken aback, then blinked and said, "Because good-looking people are usually good cooks, so you and Aunt Xu are both good cooks."
Everyone likes to be praised, especially Su Fuliu.
Hearing Qin Shi's words, he was overjoyed, because Qin Shi not only praised his cooking skills but also his good looks.
He immediately laughed: "Okay, then I'll try Aunt Xu's cooking now."
