The carriage swayed and rocked its way down the mountain, and Ah Li slowly closed her eyes.

However, Ah Li was not asleep. Instead, she was thinking about whether Kong Qing's adoptive father was the same person from back then.

Who is Kong Qing?

Why does he give her a strange feeling?

When the carriage stopped, Kong Qing led Ah Li and Nan Xing out of the carriage.

The man in the wheelchair glanced at Ahri, then thoughtfully looked away.

Kong Qing's adoptive father said to Kong Qing, "Kong Qing, you take them to rest first."

Kong Qing replied, "Okay."

On the other side, Nanxing rubbed his eyes. Instead of standing properly, he leaned against Ah Li.

Kong Qing noticed and crossed her arms, saying to Nan Xing, "You're such a grown man, why are you standing so close to your father?"

Nanxing squinted and said to Kong Qing, "This is my father. In my father's eyes, I will always be a child."

Ah Li smiled. Kong Qing saw this and knew that Ah Li was indulging him, so he said, "Let's go in. I'll arrange rooms for you."

Nanxing stood next to Ali and followed Kong Qing into the mansion.

At this moment, two servants came out and called out to Kong Qing, "Young Master."

When they looked at Ah Li, they were first stunned, then surprised, then looked at Ah Li's feet, and finally exchanged a glance before leaving together in a hurry.

Ah Li lowered her eyes; these two must have seen her before.

Kong Qing also noticed the change in the expressions of the two men. He looked at Ali and asked, "Uncle Ali, do those two know you?"

Ahri said, "It's also possible that my appearance is too terrifying."

Nanxing immediately hugged Ali's arm and said, "Daddy isn't scary at all, Daddy is the most handsome."

Ah Li looked at Nan Xing with amusement. Sure enough, he was her biological son; he could just spout such sweet words so easily.

Kong Qing glanced in the direction the two servants had left, said nothing, and led Ali and Nanxing to his courtyard.

His courtyard was spacious and had many rooms.

Nanxing kept her head down, not daring to glance around.

He wondered if his father also lived in a cave like they had before. Kong Qing's house was too beautiful; he couldn't look at it too much, lest he feel disappointed later.

Soon, Kong Qing brought Ah Li and Nan Xing back to his courtyard, arranged rooms for them, and then left.

Seeing that Kong Qing had left, Nan Xing looked at Ali with bright eyes and said, "Dad, tell me about my father."

Ali said, "Your father looks just like you, except he has two more whiskers and he loves to laugh too."

"Yeah?"

"yes."

Ahri looked intently at Nanxing's features and said, "When you see him, you'll definitely recognize him at a glance."

"Really?"

"Yes, because you look a lot like your father."

Nanxing laughed, touched his face, and said, "Then I'll definitely recognize him at first glance."

Ahri nodded in affirmation, "Yes."

Kong Qing arranged a room with a mirror for Ah Li and Nan Xing. Nan Xing sat in front of the mirror, carefully memorizing her appearance.

Nanxing was looking forward to seeing his father. He sat in front of the mirror, staring blankly at his reflection.

Ah Li thought of the puppets in her space; she would create a father for Nan Xing.

After an incense stick had burned, Nanxing sat down in front of Ali again and said, "Father, I'm hungry. Are you hungry?"

Ah Li looked up and saw Kong Qing returning with a food box.

Kong Qing walked up to Ali and Nanxing and said, "My godfather had something to take care of, so I brought back some food. Are you hungry?"

Ahri said, "Hmm, I'm hungry."

Nanxing was very quiet, staring intently at the food box in Kongqing's hand.

Kong Qing placed the food box on the table, and Ali went up to help her take the food out of the box.

Once the food was set on the table, Nanxing looked at the sumptuous meal and felt even hungrier.

After Kong Qing and Ali sat down together, Ali picked up a piece of meat from Nan Xing's plate and said, "Eat up."

Whether to use a bowl or chopsticks, Ahri has already taught you; there's no question of using your hands to grab food.

Nanxing ate quietly, as did Ali.

After the three finished eating, Kong Qing asked Ah Li, "You've just arrived here, are you settling in alright?"

Ahri said, "I'm quite used to it."

Kong Qing said, "If you need to wash up later, there's a tub in that room where you can take a bath."

Nanxing heard this and said, "I want to take a shower."

The pool must be huge.

Ahri nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a shower together later."

Nanxing also took two sets of clothes from his bundle, one for Ahri and one for himself.

Nanxing then called out to Kongqing, "Kongqing, come on, let's take a shower together!"

After climbing the cliff for so long, which of them didn't sweat?

Hearing Nanxing call him to come together, Kong Qing looked at Ali and saw that Ali didn't seem to refuse. His breathing unconsciously paused slightly, then he continued breathing.

"Uncle Tanuki..."

Let's go together.

Ah Li put her hand on Nan Xing's shoulder, waiting for Kong Qing to lead them to the room with the pool he had mentioned.

Kong Qing turned around and headed towards a certain room, even pushing open the door to that room.

Inside the room, there was indeed a pool with steam rising from it.

Nanxing let out a shout, took off his clothes, and went straight into the water.

"Dad, the water here is still hot, it feels so good, come on over!"

Nanxing called out to Ah Li and then dived into the water.

Kong Qing also wanted to explain that the water in the pool had been heated in advance by him.

Ahri had already taken off her clothes and entered the water in front of Kong Qing.

Kong Qing fell silent. He withdrew his gaze and slowly placed his hand on his belt.

Ahri leaned against the edge of the pool, feeling comfortable.

Not long after, Kong Qing also came down. He was neither very close to nor very far from Ah Li.

Nanxing popped his head out of the water and said, "This pool isn't deep."

Ahri looked it over and saw that it resembled a small swimming pool.

Ali also said, "Don't play for too long, just wash it clean."

"good."

Nanxing responded, then untied her hair and continued diving.

Ahri also untied her hair, wet it with some water, and washed it briefly.

There was also a strange smell in the water, like the smell of herbs.
