Those bright, almond-shaped eyes still held a hint of sleepiness, but when they met Fu Qin's slightly bewildered gaze, the bewilderment vanished instantly, replaced by intense joy and excitement.
"Fu Qin! You're awake!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, unable to hold back any longer. She threw herself into Fu Qin's arms, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, buried her face in his chest, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Great! You're finally awake! I thought you were going to sleep for a long time!"
Her soft body pressed tightly against him, her sweet fragrance lingering in his nostrils. Fu Qin felt the warmth in his arms, and most of his weariness instantly vanished.
He raised his hand and gently patted Xiao Wu's back, his voice tender: "I'm sorry, Sister Xiao Wu, I made you worry. I'm fine."
【Xiao Wu's affection level +20, current affection level 1150 points】
【Xiao Wu's inner thoughts: I'm so glad Fu Qin is awake! From now on, I'll stay by his side every day and never let him be in danger again!】
"Cough cough."
A soft cough came from the doorway, interrupting the tender moment between the two.
Fu Qin and Xiao Wu looked up at the same time and saw Tang San standing at the door with a gentle smile on his face and a food box in his hand.
When he saw Xiao Wu hugging Fu Qin, he showed no displeasure whatsoever; instead, he smiled with understanding.
Under the influence of the "brain-reducing aura," Tang San's thoughts are simple and pure.
Xiao Wu is his future wife, and Fu Qin is his sworn brother who saved his life.
Xiao Wu hugged Fu Qin so excitedly because she felt guilty.
After all, Fu Qin had put himself in danger to save her, and had also expended so much energy to save her.
Therefore, this is simply a sister's gratitude and concern for her brother, which is perfectly normal.
"Fu Qin, it's good that you're awake." Tang San walked into the room, placed the food box on the table, and smiled sincerely.
"You expended so much of your spiritual energy to save me; I, Tang San, will never forget this kindness."
Fu Qin chuckled inwardly, but showed a grateful expression on his face: "Third Brother, you're too kind. We're both poor kids from the same village, so of course we should look after each other."
He naturally knew what Tang San was thinking. The effect of the brain-depleting aura was indeed powerful, turning this reincarnated god king into a complete "idiot," even able to come up with such a reasonable explanation for his wife embracing another man.
Tang San smiled and nodded, his eyes full of recognition and gratitude for Fu Qin.
In his view, Fu Qin was not only strong, but also of impeccable character. Such a brother deserved his sincere treatment.
Just then, the door opened again, and Ning Rongrong walked in carrying an exquisitely designed thermos, the bowl emitting a rich aroma of chicken soup. "Brother Fu Qin, I made you some chicken soup, hurry up..."
Before Ning Rongrong could finish speaking, she saw Fu Qin and Xiao Wu embracing each other. Her smile froze instantly, and a strong hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She strode forward, placed the chicken soup on the bedside table, put her hands on her hips, and said to Xiaowu.
"Xiao Wu! How could you hug Brother Fu Qin? You're Tang San's girlfriend! This is so inappropriate!"
Ning Rongrong's tone carried a hint of spoiled arrogance, along with a subtle trace of grievance.
In her heart, Brother Fu Qin belongs to her. Even if Xiao Wu and Fu Qin have a good relationship, they shouldn't hug each other like that indiscriminately!
Xiao Wu lifted her head from Fu Qin's arms and said confidently, "Rongrong, you've misunderstood! Fu Qin is my younger brother, it's only natural for an older sister to hug her younger brother!"
As she spoke, she held tightly to Fu Qin's arm, as if asserting her dominance.
"Younger brother?" Ning Rongrong frowned, clearly disagreeing with this statement.
"What kind of older sister hugs her younger brother like that? Brother Fu Qin is single, people will misunderstand if you do this!"
"I didn't let anyone misunderstand!" Xiao Wu pouted, looking at Fu Qin with a pleading look in her eyes, "Brother Fu Qin, don't you think so?"
Looking at the two beautiful girls vying for his attention, Fu Qin patted Xiao Wu's hand and then looked at Ning Rongrong, speaking gently.
"Alright, Rongrong, Sister Xiaowu was just worried about me, she didn't mean anything by it. Let me try your chicken soup, it smells so good."
Ning Rongrong's expression softened a bit after hearing Fu Qin's words. She picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, blew on it, and held it to Fu Qin's lips: "Alright then, try it quickly, I've been simmering it for a long time!"
【Ning Rongrong's favorability +10, current favorability points 257】
Fu Qin opened his mouth and drank the chicken soup. The rich aroma filled his mouth, warming his heart and stomach. He smiled and nodded, "It's delicious. Rongrong's cooking is really good."
Tang San stood aside, watching this scene, a gratified smile on his face.
In his opinion, the interactions between Fu Qin, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong were really heartwarming.
At this thought, he recalled Oscar's actions in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Heh, Oscar, since you're so clueless, then you can forget about Ning Rongrong in this life!"
Originally, in Tang San's heart, Ning Rongrong was Oscar's wife.
But now it seems that the other party's character is really terrible. It would be better to let his good brother Fu Qin and Ning Rongrong be together.
As for Oscar? If he doesn't listen, then he can forget about eating the fairy herb again!
Xiao Wu felt a little jealous watching Ning Rongrong feed Fu Qin soup, but she held back, after all, Fu Qin had just woken up and needed to be taken good care of.
She turned to look at Tang San, then suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but laugh.
"By the way, Third Brother, your third soul skill is too bizarre! It's actually pole vaulting, and you can even jump a hundred meters into the air, hahaha!"
Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement, a smile playing on her lips.
"Yeah, yeah! When you demonstrated it for us yesterday, I thought you were going to show off some amazing soul skill, but it turned out to be pole vaulting! That's hilarious!"
Tang San looked slightly embarrassed and scratched his head.
"Actually... I didn't expect it to be like this either. I thought that after absorbing a 3,800-year-old soul ring, I would get a powerful attack soul skill. But I didn't expect that in the end, I fused with the soul ring of the 100-year-old Lone Bamboo, and the soul skill was actually pole vaulting."
Although he found the soul skill a bit strange, Tang San didn't have much dissatisfaction.
In his view, the best outcome would be to save his life.
Although pole vaulting is not an offensive soul skill, its ability to jump 100 meters in the air can be quite useful for both escaping and scouting.
Fu Qin sipped his chicken soup, listening to the two men's conversation, secretly pleased with himself.
This is exactly the effect he wanted! The soul skill of the Hundred-Year-Old Lonely Bamboo could not possibly be a powerful attack skill. The pole vaulting soul skill was simply a "trap" tailor-made for Tang San.
Imagine Tang San encountering enemies in the future, while others unleash powerful soul skills to attack, he can only take out a bamboo stick and perform a pole vault to escape. That scene would be incredibly amusing.
