After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 10 - What do you want to play with Qingyu today?

Chapter 10: What do you want to play with Qingyu today?

Early in the morning, on Guangxue Mountain, the spring rain was continuous.

Jiang Huai got up early because preparing soup dumplings required an early start. Although his body was still a bit sore, there was no serious harm. However, his spiritual energy reserve was shattered, and he could only reach the first level of Qi practice and couldn’t advance any further.

Taking advantage of the spring rain and the dark sky, he went to the stream in the mountains with a luminescent firefly stone to catch many crabs. After steaming them, he shelled them to extract the meat, roe, and crab paste. He took out the chicken broth he had prepared the afternoon before, which had set into a jelly, and began to knead the dough and prepare the seasoning.

There were three people in the courtyard. Jiang Huai steamed forty-two crab roe soup dumplings, fourteen for each person, and prepared three small dishes of vinegar. Chu Xianning always had the habit of getting up early. She would open her door punctually every day, without fail.

But Luo Qingyu was still not up.

Jiang Huai had no choice but to go to her room and open the door. He saw Luo Qingyu lying on the bed; her chest pressed against the bed surface, making him wonder if she would feel suffocated. Jiang Huai called out softly,

“Time to get up for breakfast.”

Luo Qingyu slowly opened her eyes but then turned her head to look at Jiang Huai and began to act coquettishly,

“I want to sleep a little longer.”

“I think you want to be spanked.”

“No, no, I want to sleep a little longer, Brother Jiang Huai… don’t hit me, please.”

“I’ll give you ten more seconds to get up, will you?”

“No, I won’t.”

Jiang Huai was completely immune to a woman’s coquetry. He approached Luo Qingyu’s bed and lifted her blanket. In his view, the girl’s black nightgown clung tightly to her butt. He remembered the soft touch that inadvertently came when he took Luo Qingyu from Luo Yueguan last night. If he could slap it hard, he imagined it would bounce back satisfyingly, and Luo Qingyu would immediately blush, gasp, and her eyes would become seductive.

【Stop pretending. If you want to hit, just hit. Spank Luo Qingyu’s butt three times, make her cheeks turn red, and get her to get up obediently.】

【Task Reward: low-grade experience scroll*1.】

Jiang Huai silently dragged the mission to the to-do list, but the annoying system issued a second mission.

【Years of loneliness and emptiness have made Luo Qingyu accustomed to using pain to alleviate her solitude, leading to a fondness for pain. Spank Luo Qingyu’s buttocks until they turn red, make her eyes tearful and misty, and have her beg you for mercy.】

【Task Reward: low-grade experience scroll*5.】

Ha, you underestimate the gentleman Jiang Huai!

“If you don’t get up now, I’ll share your portion of the soup dumplings with Master.”

“Ah! Don’t do that!”

Luo Qingyu suddenly flipped over, sitting up on the bed. It was then that Jiang Huai realized, to his sudden surprise, that the girl’s white undergarments were lying at the edge of the bed, her skirt in disarray, and beneath the hem of her skirt at that moment… Jiang Huai caught a glimpse of the fair skin at the top of her thighs.

He quickly averted his gaze, saying, “Are you going to get up obediently?”

“I’m getting up now,” Luo Qingyu pouted slightly, watching Jiang Huai turn and walk towards the window.

Her eyes were deep with thought. When exactly had she inadvertently shown her true colors, causing Brother Jiang Huai to become wary of her? Luo Qingyu was troubled.

The spring rain was gentle, so the three of them had breakfast in the courtyard. Jiang Huai brewed his master’s favorite jasmine tea, and when Luo Qingyu emerged from her room, she was wearing the black palace dress that Jiang Huai had made for her and the wooden iris hairpin he had given her. Chu Xianning glanced at Luo Qingyu and was momentarily taken aback as if she saw the young Luo Yueguan.

Of course, she knew exactly what kind of being Luo Qingyu was, and perhaps in a few more years, Luo Qingyu would grow to resemble Luo Yueguan even more.

After breakfast in the courtyard, Luo Qingyu obediently cleaned up the dishes and headed into the kitchen. Chu Xianning, who usually had nothing to do, watched as Jiang Huai brought out a Go board and looked at his master,

“Shall we play a game?”

Chu Xianning nodded slightly, and so the master and disciple began to play Go in the courtyard.

This had become a routine for Jiang Huai and Chu Xianning. Since the age of fifteen, Jiang Huai had stopped practicing swordsmanship, but Chu Xianning had no complaints, knowing full well that he no longer needed to practice. Chu Xianning, who typically had nothing to do, would sit quietly in the courtyard every day, and Jiang Huai would always find some amusement to pass the time.

Suddenly, Jiang Huai caught a whiff of a fragrant breeze and felt a soft touch on his back. Luo Qingyu had come out of the kitchen and was now standing behind him, her chest pressing against his back as she leaned over, chin resting on his shoulder, looking at the Go board with a serious expression.

Chu Xianning looked up slightly at the two of them, so intimately close, and her brows furrowed slightly. It seemed her cultivation of maintaining a calm disposition had slipped.

“Qingyu is practically clinging to me,” Jiang Huai said nonchalantly as he placed a piece on the board.

“Qingyu will give Brother Jiang Huai a shoulder massage,” Luo Qingyu stood obediently behind Jiang Huai, her fingertips gently kneading his shoulders.

Jiang Huai had a bad feeling and shook his head, “No need, just sit at the side.”

“No… Brother Jiang Huai can massage Qingyu’s body, so Qingyu also wants to massage Brother Jiang Huai’s shoulders.”

Luo Qingyu’s voice was soft and tender. Chu Xianning’s gaze fell on the Go board as if contemplating her next move, but for some reason, she felt a bit irritable.

Jiang Huai turned around, “When did I ever massage your body?”

“Last night… Didn’t Brother Jiang Huai just massage Qingyu’s body?” Luo Qingyu replied innocently.

“That was just massaging your feet to stimulate some acupoints to help you sleep peacefully,” Jiang Huai said, feeling a bit guilty as he gently caught Luo Qingyu’s hand.

“Alright, alright, sit down obediently. Brother Jiang Huai doesn’t like being massaged on the shoulders.”

So Luo Qingyu had to sit down obediently, her cheeks puffing up slightly, but soon they deflated, and she watched Jiang Huai and Chu Xianning play Go without saying a word.

The game ended with Jiang Huai’s defeat. Chu Xianning, who usually played Go with a calm demeanor, played aggressively, quickly overwhelming Jiang Huai. After the game, Chu Xianning stood up and said indifferently,

“I’m going out for a bit.”

“Master, where are you going?” Jiang Huai asked.

Chu Xianning gave him a sidelong glance, “You ask too many questions.”

Jiang Huai closed his mouth and could only watch as Chu Xianning flew away on her sword, her figure soon disappearing from the courtyard. Now, only Luo Qingyu was left in the courtyard. Her eyes full of anticipation, she asked him,

“Can I play a game with Brother Jiang Huai too?”

“Sure,” Jiang Huai replied, having nothing else to do anyway.

So Luo Qingyu sat across from Jiang Huai, holding the white pieces, and began to play Go seriously with him. It was Jiang Huai who had taught her the game and the rules, but his own skills were the worst. He couldn’t beat Chu Xianning, and he couldn’t even beat Luo Qingyu.

Outside the pavilion, the sound of rain was a gentle rustle, and the world seemed especially quiet. Unconsciously, Jiang Huai lowered his head and suddenly noticed a pair of little feet quietly lifted from under the table and resting on his legs.

Jiang Huai looked at Luo Qingyu, who seemed to be seriously contemplating the game as if the feet under the table were not hers. Jiang Huai reached out with one hand and gently tickled the sole of her foot, causing Luo Qingyu to burst into laughter the next second. She looked up at Jiang Huai and whispered,

“Brother Jiang Huai is so naughty.”

The girl’s feet moved lightly on his legs, her soft toes almost touching his lower abdomen. Her skin was so smooth, the touch like jelly, but slightly cold to the touch. This was the flaw of the Ice Soul Profound Body.

Jiang Huai gently held her feet, and her toes curled slightly. Gradually, the soles of her feet turned a shade of pink and began to warm up. Well, warming her feet was a perfectly good reason, and he felt entirely justified.

“Brother Jiang Huai’s hands are so warm,” Luo Qingyu’s voice was soft.

Jiang Huai didn’t speak, just silently placed another piece on the board. Luo Qingyu’s mind wasn’t really on the game, so with that move, the outcome was decided. But Luo Qingyu, who had lost the game, wasn’t discouraged at all. She just looked at Jiang Huai innocently and asked softly,

“Brother Jiang Huai…”

“Hmm?”

“Do you think Qingyu’s feet are pretty?”

“Hmm, they’re pretty.”

Jiang Huai said as he separated her toes, watching them playfully come back together. After they stopped playing Go, his hands touched her feet. The girl’s toes lifted slightly, and Luo Qingyu quietly grasped the hem of her dress, biting her lip as her cheeks finally began to blush.

“Then… Brother Jiang Huai, whose feet do you think are prettier? Aunt Chu’s?”

“Yes, yes,” Jiang Huai nodded.

If Luo Qingyu’s tender little feet were cute and soft, then Master’s icy lotus feet were a perfect work of art. Unfortunately, Chu Xianning, who usually didn’t like to wear shoes in the courtyard, had started to wear white embroidered shoes because Jiang Huai had secretly looked too much in the past, making her feel uncomfortable and denying him the view.

“Brother Jiang Huai is too much,” Luo Qingyu’s cheeks puffed up slightly, but then Jiang Huai remembered something important.

He looked at Luo Qingyu in front of him and asked softly,

“Did you do something foolish again before you came over last night?”

“Because… Mother said Brother Jiang Huai didn’t want me anymore, so Qingyu did something foolish.”

“What if I really didn’t want you anymore?”

“Then… Qingyu wouldn’t want to live either.”

Jiang Huai’s eyes stared intently at Luo Qingyu in front of him for one second, two seconds, three seconds, until the unease in Luo Qingyu’s heart began to boil over.

Jiang Huai finally spoke indifferently.

“What did you promise me before?”

“I promised… I wouldn’t do anything foolish again.”

“Did you keep your promise?”

“It was because of Mother…”

Luo Qingyu started to argue, but seeing the look in Jiang Huai’s eyes, she lowered her head after a few seconds and said softly,

“Qingyu knows she was wrong.”

“Where did you go wrong?”

“Qingyu shouldn’t have done something foolish.”

“I won’t abandon you, but I don’t want you to do foolish things just because I might abandon you. I don’t like being coerced into doing anything. I choose to be with you because I find you cute and obedient, but I don’t want you to live relying on me, understand?”

“Qingyu understands.”

“Do you really understand?”

“I really do.”

“Good.”

Jiang Huai, pulled out a pair of white lace short socks like a magic trick and carefully put them on Luo Qingyu.

She sat obediently, listening to him say,

“Alright, now put on your shoes obediently.”

Luo Qingyu finally retracted her slender legs and put on her shoes, looking at Jiang Huai with anticipation,

“Aunt Chu isn’t home, Brother Jiang Huai… what do you want to play with Qingyu today?”

Jiang Huai always had the feeling that the subtext of her question was, “How do you want to play Qingyu today?”
