Wen Xiao'ai laughed and hopped onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"It seems like I've gotten a little heavier, but it doesn't look like you've been worrying about me slaying demonic beasts and getting hurt, skipping meals and all."
"Of course, I've been worried about you, but worry is one thing, eating is another, right? Otherwise, if I get too skinny from hunger, you'll have to worry about me when you come back. You'd say that's true, wouldn't you?"
"Exactly right, you heartless thing, you always have an answer for everything," Ye Qi carried her, making his way back home.
On the way, he even picked some fruit for her to eat.
Wen Xiao'ai hummed a song on his back while munching on fruit.
"Xiao'ai, promise me you won't let anyone else carry you on their back," Ye Qi suddenly spoke.
"Why not?"
"I don't like it."
"Alright then, but it's not about whether I look for someone or not, it's about whether there is someone else willing to carry me."
