In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Ling Ran touched his face and pinched his abdominal muscles. How come he looked so old?
"Wife, you dislike me and like young handsome guys."
Zhou wanted to slap him in the face. "Yes, I hate you, old bacon. You have a body of old bacon, but a childish heart. You make me worry about you all the time. What do you want to do with your cultivation? To ascend to immortality and go looking for beautiful fairies?"
Ling Ran chuckled and hugged his wife. "Wife, you are the most beautiful fairy in my heart. I don't want to ascend to heaven, I just want to help you. Look, Kong Xianxian can help push away the fog, but I can't do it with my brute force. When you were unconscious, I wanted to beat myself to death."
Zhou Xiang raised his hands and put his arm around his lover's neck, "Don't call her Kong Xianxian, and don't call her Xianxian either. Just call her Yan'er's mother. She actually doesn't like this name, it's too rustic, but I have to call her that, don't make her feel uncomfortable.
When Kong Qianchen brings all the books of the Kong family, I'll ask Yan'er's mother to look through them. Since the Kong family has integrated folk martial arts, there might be originals. If so, you can practice folk martial arts."
Ling Ran's eyes lit up. "Yes, listen to my wife. Many of Dragon Country's traditional Kung Fu traditions have been lost. If the Kong family still has them, I can practice traditional Kung Fu. As long as I can develop internal strength and be able to use it at special moments, I won't feel so useless."
Zhou wanted to give him a slap on the head. "How useful do you want to be? To be able to go to heaven and earth? Do you want to surpass me? Or do you want to surpass Sun Wukong?"
"Hehehe," Ling Ran hugged his wife tightly, "I can never escape my wife's Five Finger Mountain, so I won't surpass the two people you mentioned. I only want to surpass Kong Qianchen."
"Come on, you probably need to go back to your mother's womb and start over again."
"Wife~"
Zhou Xiang covered his mouth and said, "Don't act like a spoiled child. If you don't obey, I will sell you out."
Ling Ran nodded pretending to be scared.
Zhou Xiangcai let go of his mouth and said, "Hurry up and get up. I guess the teacher is already here. I still have to coax the teacher. Sigh~ I feel so ashamed of him. The teacher is really good to me and really protects me."
"You didn't lie to him about anything! Aside from the one thing about Yan'er's mother's whereabouts, didn't you let him know everything else? Don't overthink it. How can there be no secrets between people?"
"Oh?" Zhou Xiang stared into his eyes. "So, you're still keeping it a secret from me? I have absolutely no secrets from you."
Ling Ran blinked, "No, honey, I have no secrets from you at all."
Zhou wanted to break free from the arms that were around him, "Do you think I believe it?"
"Wife!"
Zhou Xiang turned around and got out of bed, "Ling Ran, did you really not tamper with the Heart Seal back then?"
Ling Ran was stunned and immediately grabbed his wife, "Really, no, I got the Tongxin Seal book from the captain."
"Okay, I believe you. We'll know about the Heart Seal in the future. Don't blame me for punishing you then."
Ling Ran immediately raised his hands and said, "It's up to my wife to punish me however she wants."
"Okay, wash up quickly."
Seeing his wife enter the bathroom, Ling Ran breathed a sigh of relief. His wife was too powerful. The old account from many years ago suddenly came up and caught him off guard. Let her punish him! As long as he could be with his wife for the rest of his life.
Professor Chu was already waiting in the living room. Seeing the student come out in high spirits, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if nothing happened.
Zhou Xiang sat down next to the teacher and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, for making you worry."
"I'm glad you're okay! Next time, no matter how critical the situation is, you must leave a hidden message, at least let Lü Jing and Lü Ying know, right? They've been blaming themselves for many days, from Yan'er to you two."
Zhou Xiang nodded immediately, "I see. I made a mistake in judgment this time. I thought I would be back soon!"
"Yes! I've already heard from Tang Ganwen that the matter has been handled like this, and it's over. As long as the Kong family doesn't pursue responsibility, everything will be fine."
"Thank you for your favoritism, teacher."
The teacher did a lot of things for her that he would not have done before, which made Zhou Xiang feel very guilty.
Professor Chu smiled. People are selfish. What's wrong with him favoring his students? The students are dealing with extremely powerful bad guys.
Everyone in the company knew about Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran's disappearance. Now that they knew they had returned quietly, they didn't dare to come to see them in a big way, so they just called to say hello.
They felt relieved when they could get through on the phone and heard the voices of their sister-in-law and eldest brother.
At dinner, there was laughter and joy at the table in Zhou's house. This was the most relaxing meal in the past two days.
Zhou Yu wanted to ask something, but his quick-witted lover immediately stopped him, "Are you not planning on coming over for dinner?"
Zhou Yu looked at the table full of happy family members and thought, forget it, she would just hold it in.
After dinner, she immediately dragged her sister to her study and said, "Tell me, how did you disappear? I asked them, but no one was willing to answer me, including Jian Jiankang."
Zhou wanted to shake off her second sister's hand. If she didn't give her second sister a chance, she wouldn't be able to catch her, nor could she drag her away.
"Curiosity kills the cat. It's better for you to know less. After all, you're even more talkative than Dad. Dad has been through so much and has long since gotten over his habit of showing off everything. He's always been safe when it comes to keeping secrets! What about you? You're exactly like our dad used to be."
Zhou Yu pointed at his nose and said, "I, I look like my father used to look like?"
"Isn't it true that you're willing to say anything to achieve your goal? I heard that the person who secretly told you that you were reported was often harassed and criticized by the leaders. Are you blind and deaf?"
"I... that person didn't mean well by telling me secretly. She just wanted to make fun of me."
"So, you just stabbed her? I'm telling you, I hate this kind of behavior the most. No matter whether the person you're talking to is kind or malicious, you shouldn't reveal the person. After this, who would dare to tell you anything?
She was ostracized, and you were ostracized by everyone as well. No one dared to tell you any secrets anymore, because they didn't know when you would sell someone out."
Zhou Yu left with her husband dejectedly. After thinking for a day, she made up her mind to go to the colleague's house with a bunch of gifts to apologize, but the colleague refused to let her in along with the gifts.
Faced with the rejection, Zhou Yu felt mixed emotions.
Zhou Xiang didn't care what mood her second sister was in when she left, as many of her secrets were not suitable for her to know.
When Zhou Niao saw her eldest sister leave, she immediately came in with her son, "Sister."
"Big brother."
"Did something happen inside? The new owner?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes, that person discovered the secret inside and planned to take it for himself. I planned to make him stupid and wash away his internal energy. He blew himself up and I was injured. I was delayed because of my injuries."
Zhou Niao and Zhou Yan both opened their eyes wide, "Sister (Aunt), are you okay?"
The same expression and tone made Zhou Xiang laugh. "It's okay, thanks to Yan'er's mother for helping. Do you want to go in and see her? She was injured while helping. Although she looks better, she hasn't fully recovered yet."
