Li Xiyue smiled helplessly and looked at her seriously, saying, "Sister Lele, I know that you actually care a lot about your grandmaster. You argue with him every day because you don't want him to overthink things and worsen his condition. You must also be very afraid that he will leave you, right?"

I can see that you are very filial, and your grand-uncle cares about you a lot. Your relationship is truly enviable.

"I'm not as good as you say. I just can't stand old men," Zhuang Le stubbornly refused to admit.

Li Xiyue didn't force her to admit it. She took all the eggs out and put them in cold water. "Don't worry, I'm already developing pills for my grandmaster. Even if it doesn't cure his illness, it can definitely prolong his life."

After learning that her grandmaster was ill, she took his pulse and, based on his condition, prepared a medicine for him in her spatial dimension.

In addition, they now drink spiritual spring water every day, which is of great help to their grandmaster's illness.

Her grand-uncle was one of her maternal grandfather's few remaining relatives, and she wanted to keep him alive for a few more years.

"Sister, do you really have a way to extend the old man's life?" Zhuang Le asked seriously.

Li Xiyue nodded. "I'm seventy percent sure."

"Seventy percent," Zhuang Le pondered. "That's a very good chance of winning."

Li Xiyue took out a plate, picked out all the meat buns, and then made noodles. "Sister Lele, today is your birthday. I'll make you a bowl of longevity noodles. After breakfast, I'll take you shopping. What gift do you want? I'll give it to you."

“Little sister.” Zhuang Le suddenly grasped her hand. “You’ve already given me the best gift. I don’t need anything else.”

Li Xiyue understood that she was referring to the pills, and smiled, "Grandmaster Uncle is also my family. It is my duty as a junior to develop pills for him. It's Lele's first time celebrating her birthday at home, how can she not have a gift?"

"Little sister, thank you so much." Zhuang Le's eyes welled up with tears.

Over the years, no one except the old man had ever treated her so well. She felt uneasy, wondering if this was just a fleeting moment.

Li Xiyue saw through her thoughts and said, "Since I call you sister, you are my sister for life, and I will be good to you for the rest of my life."

As long as Zhuang Le doesn't do anything that crosses her bottom line, she will continue to acknowledge her as her older sister.

"Let's pinky swear." Zhuang Le held out his finger.

Li Xiyue smiled and extended her little finger. The two hooked their fingers together, shaking them as they said, "Pinky promise, a hundred years from now!"

"stamp!"

"Hahaha……"

Silvery laughter mingled with the aroma of food wafting into the yard.

Old Zhuang, who was practicing Tai Chi with Liao Qingshan, had reddened his old eyes.

This girl has never smiled so happily before. Coming back this time was definitely the right decision.

"Uncle-Master, it's windy, let's call it a day. Look how red your eyes are." Liao Qingshan pulled the old man back into the house.

The old man turned his head to the side, wiped his eyes, and laughed, "The wind may blind me, but it cannot thwart my lofty ambitions!"

"Hahaha……"

The two old men burst into laughter.

After a lively breakfast, Li Xiyue said while clearing the table, "Grandpa, Grandmaster Uncle, don't bother with anything today. We'll have lunch at the state-run restaurant."

"Okay." Liao Qingshan readily agreed.

Old Zhuang remained silent.

"Lele and I are going shopping first, we'll come back to pick you up later."

"Li Xiyue, hello there. You went shopping without telling me." Just then, Xie Mingying arrived.

Li Xiyue pulled her into the house. "You're free today?"

"If I don't have time again, you'll become someone else's friend," Xie Mingying said sarcastically.

Li Xiyue laughed as she introduced the master and apprentice to her, "This is my grandmaster uncle, Elder Zhuang, and this is my sister, Zhuang Le."

"Hello, Mr. Zhuang, hello, Sister Zhuang Le," Xie Mingying greeted politely.

Li Xiyue continued, "This is my boyfriend's sister-in-law, Xie Mingying, we all call her Yingying."

"Then aren't we family?" Zhuang Le, ever the familiar type, took Xie Mingying's arm. "Sister-in-law, shall we go shopping together?"

Xie Mingying happily replied, "Great! I have a car, I'll drive there so I don't have to ride a bicycle in the cold wind."

"Let's go."

Two women who had just met walked away arm in arm, looking like they had a long-standing relationship.

Li Xiyue was both amused and exasperated, and followed after him, saying, "Wait for me."
