Chapter 33 (Second Update) [VIP]

In the end, Yin Chu Jiu naturally gave in. Compared to sleeping with Yue Ling, this kind of familial kiss was definitely better. If a goodnight kiss could dispel Yue Ling's thoughts, then she would definitely agree.

So, that night, Yin Chu Jiu comforted Yue Ling with a kiss and told him to go back to his own room.

Uncle Yin's birthday is the day after tomorrow, but Juanyun Lane has already sent out the invitations. The main focus is on the other two forces. The main characters of this banquet are not Uncle Yin, but those people.

Although Uncle Yin was not the main character, he still had to busy himself with preparations, so for the past two days, only Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling were in the courtyard.

Fortunately, they were used to doing this all the time, so they didn't think anything of it.

Moreover, Yin Chu Jiu noticed that his expression was better than before when his third uncle and third aunt were no longer in the courtyard.

He didn't want Yue Ling to stay here without going out. He thought about it for a long time, and the day before the banquet started, he finally came up with a place they could go.

The place Yin Chu Jiu was thinking of was none other than Yue Ling's home.

In recent years, Yue Ling has only been able to return home once a year for ancestral worship. Now, several months have passed since his last visit, and he doesn't know how long he will have to wait for the next time.

“There are still some vegetables and fruits at home. Wait a moment, I’ll go prepare them right away,” Yin Chu Jiu said. “Then I’ll go find Chu San and ask him to cover for us outside so that no one else can see us.”

Yin Chu Jiu still remembers the scene he saw when he first transmigrated: little Yue Ling tried to protect his parents' memorial tablets but failed and was eventually trampled and humiliated.

Although Yue Ling made two new memorial tablets for the next worship ceremony, Yin Chu Jiu could never forget what happened that day. He thought that Yue Ling certainly couldn't forget either.

Yue Ling had never forgotten. Not only had he not forgotten, he would forever remember the faces of those people that day. He only wanted to go back to pay respects to his parents, yet he was still prevented and humiliated.

Afterwards, he was severely beaten, but he was lucky to survive such a beating.

Of course, he also remembered Yin Chu Jiu, and the brick he had given Yin Chu Jiu.

He probably never imagined back then that he would have such a good relationship with Yin Chu Jiu now. Not only that, he also treated Yin Chu Jiu as his possession.

He doesn't regret giving Yin Chu Jiu that brick; if he could turn back time, he would still do the same.

But now... Yue Ling stopped practicing martial arts and walked over to the boy who was preparing to go to the kitchen. He raised his hand and gently touched the back of the boy's head. He remembered that he had hit the boy in this spot back then.

"Does it still hurt?"

Yin Chu Jiu didn't understand what Yue Ling's action meant at first, but after a while, he realized what Yue Ling was asking.

He smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all."

lie.

He remembered that he had clearly knocked himself unconscious at that time.

He showed no mercy, and the boy's head was broken on the spot, bleeding profusely.

Yue Ling thought this, but he didn't say it. He just hugged Yin Chu Jiu and said in a soft voice, "I won't hit you anymore, and I won't let anyone else hit you either."

If he makes another mistake, he will use another method.

A method that won't hurt him, but will leave a deep impression on him.

"It's good that you won't hit him!" Yin Chu Jiu was touched. He had worked so hard for so long just to get Yue Ling's forgiveness. Now that Yue Ling was thinking of him, he was overjoyed.

Overjoyed, Yin Chu Jiu patted Yue Ling on the back and went to the kitchen to prepare food and fruit. He had no idea that Yue Ling had already changed his punishment method in his mind.

The food was prepared quickly, and after it was ready, Yin Chu Jiu secretly went out to find Yin Chu San. At this time, everyone in Juan Yun Lane was preparing for the upcoming banquet, and there weren't many people outside, so Yin Chu Jiu arrived at Yin Chu San's house relatively smoothly.

When he arrived, Yin Chusan was cultivating at home. He only stopped when he saw Yin Chujiu arrive.

"What do you want?" Yin Chusan was still a little angry.

Yin Chu Jiu understood, but there was nothing he could do. Yin Chu San wouldn't say why he was angry, and when he went to explain, he left quickly. So, he pretended not to understand and told Yin Chu San his plan.

To his surprise, Yin Chusan became even more unhappy.

"You mean I should go and cover for Yue Ling?"

"No," Yin Chu Jiu quickly explained, "It's not for Yue Ling, it's for me, for me."

Yin Chusan: "You think I wouldn't notice even though you've changed your wording?!"

Yin Chu Jiu: "..." He gritted his teeth and pretended to be tough, saying, "Just tell me, are you going to help me or not? If not, I'm leaving."

"Help, help, help!" Yin Chu Jiu said and actually turned around, but Yin Chu San quickly stopped him, "I'll help, okay?"

Yin Chu Jiu laughed, put his arm around Yin Chu San's neck, and said with a smile, "That's my good brother. After this is over, I'll treat you to dinner, to your favorite tavern for drinks and meat, and personally apologize to you on behalf of Yue Ling. Don't hold it against Yue Ling."

Yin Chusan: "..."

His brother is so stupid. How could he not see that he wasn't angry at Yue Ling at all, but rather at how good Yue Ling was to him?

Yue Ling is so cunning, how could his stupid younger brother possibly outsmart him!

That's how it's settled.

After returning to the courtyard, Yin Chu Jiu secretly took Yue Ling to Yue Ling's house. Yue Ling's house was in another direction, and it didn't take long to walk there.

Once inside the courtyard, Yin Chu Jiu instructed Yin Chu San to stand guard at the entrance and inform them if anything seemed amiss.

He led Yue Ling into the house, took out the items one by one, placed them in front of the memorial tablet, and even wiped the cushion clean for Yue Ling. After he finished wiping it clean, he planned to leave.

However, as soon as he turned around, Yue Ling grabbed him.

The boy grabbed his hand with one hand, and with the other hand he picked up a cushion from the side and cleaned it. Then he looked up and said to him, "Chu Jiu, you should also offer incense to my parents."

Yin Chu Jiu stood, while the boy knelt on one knee. Yin Chu Jiu bowed her head, while the boy looked up.

The sun was shining brightly today, and the sunlight streamed in through the window, falling directly on the boy's fair face. Whether it was the light or the sight of him paying respects to his parents, the boy's eyes were slightly moist, causing Yin Chu Jiu a pang of heartache.

It seems that after that day, after no longer hiding his unease, the boy stopped concealing his vulnerability in front of him.

He thought that seeing Yue Ling's terrible situation would already make him feel guilty, but he didn't expect that seeing the boy's vulnerability would be the time when he felt the most guilty.

He originally intended to leave the space to Yue Ling, allowing him to spend time alone with his parents.

But now, seeing the boy's request, Yin Chu Jiu changed her mind.

"Okay," he said, then turned around decisively, knelt on the cushion, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the two memorial tablets.

I'm sorry, I've set up this kind of life for you.

I'm sorry, I've caused your children to end up in this situation.

Please forgive me. I will take good care of Yue Ling until the energy of the Heavenly Pearl within him begins to be released, truly making him a strong person who will never be bullied again.

As she kowtowed, Yin Chu Jiu said this to herself.

After kowtowing, Yin Chu Jiu straightened up. He then discovered that three incense sticks had appeared in front of him.

“It’s the ninth day of the month, and you haven’t offered incense yet,” said the boy holding incense beside him.

Yin Chu Jiu: "..." So he kowtowed without offering incense?

What stupid thing did he do?

After mentally berating herself countless times, Yin Chu Jiu coughed twice, pretended nothing had happened, took the incense and kowtowed a few more times, then lit the incense before returning to her kneeling position.

Although he made a foolish mistake, even getting the basic kowtowing steps wrong, this little incident lightened his heavy mood considerably, making him feel less suffocated.

After offering incense, Yin Chu Jiu knelt quietly, waiting for Yue Ling to offer incense to his parents. Yue Ling lit several sticks of incense, kowtowed many times to his parents, and then offered the incense.

After offering incense, Yue Ling knelt silently on the cushion, his head slightly lowered, a few strands of hair falling down his forehead, obscuring his face and making it impossible to see his expression.

But Yin Chu Jiu could guess that Yue Ling was talking to his parents at this moment.

In the spirit of not disturbing others and respecting their privacy, Yin Chu Jiu planned to leave without alerting Yue Ling. However, just like before, he was grabbed by Yue Ling before he could even get up.

"Stay here and keep me company."

Then, Yin Chu Jiu stayed.

To avoid disturbing Yue Ling, he sat quietly. However, he didn't know that the seemingly silent boy was actually scrutinizing him out of the corner of his eye, looking at his face, his figure, and the bridge of his nose, not missing a single detail.

Then, he spoke his heart to his parents' memorial tablets.

He didn't say much; he didn't know what to say.

I used to have the urge to confide in others, but now that urge has completely faded.

However, he did say a few words. As he spoke, he slightly turned his head, looked at the boy beside him, and whispered them in his heart.

Parents, please let me live well. I will live well from now on.

I have someone I care about, and I don't want him to leave me.

I will live on and keep him by my side forever.

He is the person I like, are you satisfied? From now on, he will be your daughter-in-law.

It's okay if you're not satisfied, as long as I'm satisfied.

The memorial service took a long time and should have taken even longer. But Yin Chusan, who was guarding outside, rushed in, slightly out of breath, and said to them, "Chujiu, Yueling, did you know that the Gong family would also be attending this banquet?"

"Damn! I just found out that the Gong family is also coming to this banquet. Chu Jiu, Yue Ling, you two hurry up and leave. Don't stay here. Go back to the clinic."

Author's Note:

Second update~

Long-awaited mini-theater episode reappears:

Yue Ling: "Let's offer incense to my parents."

Yin Chu Jiu (obediently kowtowing and offering incense): "Okay."

Yue Ling (kowtowing and offering incense, feeling satisfied): This can be considered as introducing my wife to my parents.

And then, shamelessly, I'll insert a small advertisement:

I'm looking for pre-orders for my contemporary BL (Boys' Love) farming novel, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas Within My Body".

The Heavenly Dao collapsed, the Heavenly Court vanished, the Demon Realm perished, and all the gods, immortals, demons, and monsters in the world lost their homes.

Lu Tu, penniless and destitute, returned to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors and accidentally obtained a magical book containing the names of Shennong, a master farmer, and Lu Ban, a master architect...

Descendant of Shennong: I am good at farming.

Master Lu Ban: I am skilled in construction.

Then Lu Tu had a great dream—to resign, go home, and start his own business.

From then on, he owned fertile farmland with delicious food and vibrant colors, and an exquisitely built antique-style hotel... becoming the most successful rural entrepreneur with businesses all over the place.

Years later, a reporter interviewed Lu Tu, asking, "Mr. Lu Tu, why did you choose to start your business by farming?"

Lu Tu, who actually inherited only three acres of farmland, smiled shyly and said, "Because I think it's better to be down-to-earth."
