My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 147 "Left Embrace" Achievement Completed

After lunch, while Lu Xingyu went to supervise the construction of the fish rafts, Zhou Miao and Lu Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance and went upstairs in tacit agreement.

After closing the door, Zhou Miao comfortably lay on her bed, waiting for a massage.

Lu Xiaoxiao knew he was tired, so she started massaging him as usual.

Her technique was naturally not as good as Jiang Naixin's, but she put in extra care.

As soon as Zhou Miao turned over, a soft body pressed against her back.

What is reason?

Throw it away!

......

The setting sun peeked into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains, adding a little light to the dim room.

Lu Xiaoxiao, still with some tears in the corners of her eyes, leaned close to Zhou Miao's chest.

Her face was filled with happiness and dependence, and she seemed to have learned it from somewhere, her fingers would playfully draw circles on Zhou Miao's chest from time to time.

It's a little itchy.

Zhou Miao grabbed her hand: "If you misbehave again, I'll punish you."

"No, it hurts~" Lu Xiaoxiao's voice was soft and sweet, like a spoiled kitten.

Zhou Miao knew she was no longer capable, so he was just trying to scare her.

Even so, Lu Xiaoxiao still suffered a lot.

Looking at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Miao prepared to get up to buy groceries to cook dinner, and also to buy some nourishing things for herself and Lu Xiaoxiao.

"You continue to rest, I'll go buy some groceries and cook you dinner."

"Hmm~"

Zhou Miao's concern pleased Lu Xiaoxiao greatly. After watching him leave, she slowly moved her body, feeling as if it were about to fall apart.

She shyly pulled up the air-conditioned blanket to cover her face, hiding the corners of her mouth that she couldn't suppress.

She already knew from their conversation that Zhou Miao and Luo Qianqian hadn't reached that point on the fishing boat, so she was one step ahead.

After lying down for about half an hour, feeling a little better, Lu Xiaoxiao stopped lying there.

She knew there were some things she needed to keep from her brother for the time being, so that he wouldn't be unable to accept them.

She took small steps into the bathroom, took a quick shower, got dressed, and went back downstairs.

Sitting on the living room sofa, Lu Xiaoxiao looked perfectly normal except for her rosy complexion and spring-like eyes.

So when Zhou Miao came back carrying bags of various sizes, he was quite surprised to see her lying on the living room sofa: "Why are you up? Why don't you rest upstairs a little longer? I was thinking of making dinner and bringing it up to you!"

"I'm fine." Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head, then said to him somewhat shyly, "Brother A-Miao, please don't let my brother know about what happened between us for now, okay?"

"Why? Didn't he tacitly agree that we're together?" Zhou Miao wondered, feeling that there was no need to hide it from Lu Xingyu.

Although he may want to have multiple women, it doesn't mean he won't take responsibility.

Since Lu Xiaoxiao has been entrusted to him, he will naturally take responsibility for her for the rest of his life.

"He cares about me a lot, so he might be upset when he finds out. Let's take it slow."

Lu Xiaoxiao had fantasized about this issue before. Whenever she thought about Lu Xingyu falling in love and getting married, she felt both happy and indescribably sad.

This is a family bond built on mutual dependence since childhood. She felt that if she felt this way, then her brother must feel the same way.

Zhou Miao was silent for a moment, then thought of his older sister who had always cared for him since childhood.

On the day of her wedding, his feelings were also complicated, and he felt inexplicably sad for a while.

"Okay, whatever you say."

These were all minor matters. After agreeing, he stopped worrying about it and carried the ingredients into the kitchen to cook.

I don't know if Lu Xingyu is just oblivious or if Lu Xiaoxiao is a good actress.

He didn't notice anything amiss at all during dinner.

At night, Zhou Miao's bedroom door was no longer locked.

Just as he expected, Lu Xiaoxiao sneaked in late at night.

But Zhou Miao was well-behaved at night, after all, her injuries hadn't healed yet.

The next day, everyone returned to their work. Lu Xiaoxiao had already started releasing her first series of videos about being rescued by sea turtles and ending up on a deserted island after her boat capsized at sea, and she even spent a little money to promote it.

Zhou Miao went to the fish raft to check on the renovation progress, and then went to find Luo Qianqian.

However, she didn't come to the fish raft. Although she replied to the message, she just didn't want to meet.

This left Zhou Miao feeling rather helpless, and he felt that he should focus on his career first.

Women admire strength; once you are strong enough, the obstacles to having multiple partners will naturally decrease.

So he spent two days with Lu Xiaoxiao, and on September 29th, he bought a high-speed train ticket to go back to his hometown.

Zhou Miao had already returned home before noon.

It's an ordinary, detached courtyard house with only three floors.

But the interior decoration is not bad. After all, Lao Zhou himself is in the decoration business and has trained many apprentices, so the materials and costs are cheap.

It cost more than 200,000 yuan to renovate, but for other people it would cost at least 400,000 yuan.

Zhou Miao unloaded his suitcase and the styrofoam box containing the fish. Just as he was about to enter the room, he saw Wang Xiuying open the door and walk out quickly.

"Mom, we're connected at heart! You knew I was home the moment I got there!"

"Nonsense! I was just watching TV in the living room on the first floor. If I couldn't hear such a loud noise outside, what's the difference between me and the deaf old man next door?"

As Wang Xiuying spoke, her gaze remained fixed on the styrofoam box.

"What's in there? Fish again?"

Zhou Miao nodded: "Yes, before coming back I went to the open sea with a friend. These are all deep-sea rock goby. They are fresh and tender and very delicious. I brought them back for you to try."

"Another huge box! You're spending money everywhere these days, don't you know..."

Wang Xiuying habitually wanted to scold her youngest son for not knowing how to save money, but halfway through her sentence she suddenly remembered the treasure hidden in the house, and she couldn't finish her sentence.

"It's nothing, just a few fish. You can catch them easily by fishing. Besides, I made over 50,000 this time, which is quite a lot."

Zhou Miao carried his luggage and foam boxes into the house, and closed the door after seeing his mother enter.

"Mom, there are ten fish here. I'll take two to visit Grandpa and Grandma. We'll talk about Grandma's on October 1st. I'll also treat my uncles to a meal so we can all get together."

"Of course, your uncle treats us to a meal every year. Now that you're successful, you should treat him back."

Her family is her source of strength; Wang Xiuying is naturally happy that her son has a good relationship with her family.

Society is better now, but in the past, maternal uncles had a lot of influence.

However, Zhou Miao invited everyone because he had a good relationship with his two uncles and several cousins.

His father, Zhou Jiguang, had a rather ordinary relationship with his brothers.

This results in ordinary relationships between the next generation; aside from necessary social obligations, they rarely interact.

This is mainly related to Grandma Zhou Miao. The old woman only cared about her eldest and youngest sons, treating the others in between as if they were adopted from outside.

If the favoritism is too severe, the family will fall apart once the children reach adulthood.

However, Zhou Jiguang is the youngest son, so Zhou Miao is still very close to his grandparents.
