"Hmm?! No, wait! Why does she have chocolate?! I remember after that one time, I ate all the chocolate, didn't I?!"
Thinking this, Fu Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Selene with an unfriendly gaze.
Selene: "?! Oh my god! I already gave you the last piece of chocolate! What kind of look is that?!"
"[Huh?! Wait, no! This chocolate, I think I secretly ate it! Fu Xuan Wife didn't let me eat this stuff!]"
Selene instantly realized, gasped, and quickly stuffed the chocolate back into her pocket.
"Take it out!"
Fu Xuan said with a somewhat cold tone.
Selene: "...QAQ I got scolded!"
Helpless, Selene could only obediently take out the chocolate and hand it to Fu Xuan, but she couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
"[Hmph! You don't even have a chest! Why are you being so fierce!]"
Fu Xuan: "...My fist hardened! My fist hardened!"
"Crunch!" With a sound, the chocolate in Fu Xuan's hand was crushed by her… Selene: "!!!"
"Speak! Where did the chocolate come from?!"
Fu Xuan's tone was still cold.
"Uh, this… I bought it myself!"
Selene chose to confess honestly.
"Did I not tell you not to eat chocolate anymore! Have you forgotten that you almost died before?!"
Fu Xuan's tone was sharp, sounding very angry! But her cute voice… really wasn't very scary, even inexplicably adorable!
"Before was before! Now is now! Don't use before as now! This Meow can eat chocolate now!"
Selene stood on her tiptoes, tilted her head slightly, showing no intention of backing down!
"Hmph!"
Fu Xuan just snorted coldly, saying nothing further.
But from her puffed-out cheeks, it was clear she was still angry.
However… Fu Xuan put the crushed chocolate back into her storage space, then extended her hand towards Selene.
Selene: "...I… I really don't have any left, that was the last piece just now…"
When Selene said this, her tone was clearly a bit wronged.
"Phew! Selene! You idiot!"
Fu Xuan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then said this with annoyance.
But even though she was calling someone an idiot, when heard, it sounded so cute!
"[Wuwuwu! My wife scolded me! Scold me again! Fu Xuan Wife, scold me again! QAQ]"
Fu Xuan: "...Hmph!"
Fu Xuan snorted coldly, and without waiting for Selene to react, she directly took hold of the other's small hand, then intertwined her fingers with Selene's.
This sudden turn of events left Selene a bit disoriented, unsure of what was happening!
But when Selene realized, her small face instantly turned crimson! Her heart also beat faster and faster!
"[So? Fu Xuan reached out just to hold my hand? I thought… I thought…!]"
As she thought, Selene shyly lowered her small head, unwilling to raise it again.
Fu Xuan: "Hmph! Finally understood what I meant?! What a big idiot!"
...Along the way, the two held hands, intertwined, neither showing any intention of letting go.
But Selene's small head also showed no intention of lifting, remaining bowed.
It wasn't until they returned home that Selene gradually calmed down.
"Go take a bath quickly, it's already very late. After you wash, you can sleep."
Fu Xuan sat on the sofa, looking at Selene beside her and said.
Selene nodded, but suddenly remembered something and shook her head again.
"What's wrong? Is there still something you need to do?"
Fu Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Um, Fu Xuan-jie, I have a gift to give you, something I made myself…!"
When Selene said this, her voice was very soft, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Oh? A gift? It's not stockings again, is it?"
Fu Xuan asked with a slight smile on her lips, intrigued.
She still remembered, the first time this Little one gave her a gift, it was a pair of white long socks!
"Ah? No, no! It's not stockings this time!"
Selene quickly waved her hands, but her small face was once again tinged with pink.
After all, this thing she was giving was even more embarrassing than stockings!
Who in their right mind gives a girl underwear as a gift?! And handmade underwear at that! Won't people really think she's a pervert?!
"So? What exactly is it you want to give This Meow? Take it out! This Meow won't dislike it."
Fu Xuan looked at Selene, who had her head bowed, with a questioning tone.
"Ugh! You wait! I'll go get a box to wrap it!"
Saying this, Selene got up and ran back to the Bedroom.
Seeing Selene flee, Fu Xuan couldn't help but smile.
"Heh! This fellow is quite particular about rituals! Even a gift has to be wrapped before giving!"
Fu Xuan murmured softly… A few minutes later, Selene came out of the Bedroom holding a wrapped box.
The box was very large, almost half the size of Selene herself!
This made Fu Xuan a little surprised. What did this Little one make to give her? It actually required such a large box?!
"Um! Fu Xuan-jie, don't open it yet! Wait until I'm in the bathroom before you open it!"
Selene said, and without even grabbing her clothes, she ran directly into the bathroom and locked the door.
This left Fu Xuan completely stunned!
"You're giving This Meow a gift? Aren't you going to watch me open it? Don't you want to see This Meow's reaction?"
Fu Xuan asked, puzzled, and looked at the large box in her hand.
"She's already in the bathroom, so I can open it now, right?"
Thinking this, Fu Xuan reached out and untied the ribbon on the box, lifting the lid of the large box… At the same time, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.
Fu Xuan, having opened the lid, prepared to take a look at what was inside the box.
However, with one glance, she found that inside the large box was another box!
Fu Xuan: "I…" She took a deep breath, realizing why Selene had run so fast!
So it was a box-within-a-box game! Never mind! It's somewhat interesting! This Meow will patiently play along with you!
...A few minutes later, Fu Xuan looked at the box in her hand, which was slightly larger than her two hands, and the more than ten boxes of various sizes on the floor, and fell into thought… "Phew! She used so many boxes to wrap it, just to give This Meow a surprise! She's really put a lot of effort into it!"
Fu Xuan tried her best to comfort herself, thinking that Selene's actions were out of thoughtfulness, not mischief.
Then, with a hint of anticipation, Fu Xuan slowly opened the box in her hand.
Honestly, she didn't even know if this box would contain yet another box!
