"I don't know, but it shouldn't be because of my brother, sister, and brother-in-law," Ji Fenghua shook her head.

"You two little devils, what are you whispering about here again?" Ji Chenhai suddenly appeared behind the two of them with a smile, and slapped them hard on the shoulders with both hands.

Although Ji Fenghua and Mi Wei were only teenagers, their cultivation was quite advanced, and they already knew he was coming.

The two rolled their eyes at Ji Chenhai's childish behavior and turned away at the same time.

"Dad, Weiwei and I are not children anymore, can you please stop calling us little devils?" Ji Fenghua said helplessly.

Although Mi Wei did not protest verbally, her eyes were as stubborn as Ji Fenghua's, and she even pouted slightly.

Ji Chenhai was amused by their helpless little expressions and laughed heartily. He grabbed Ji Fenghua's shoulder and said, "What do you mean you're not little? Even if you grow to be a hundred years old, you'll still be a little devil in your father's heart. Come on, dinner is ready, let's go eat."

Your mother specially cooked your favorite dishes. You're both growing, so you should eat plenty.

Ji Fenghua and Mi Wei exchanged a helpless glance. Although they looked disgusted, they felt warm inside.

There is a kind of hunger in this world called the hunger your parents feel for you;

There's a kind of coldness in this world called "your parents think you're cold."

People who have always had it might find it a bit annoying.

But once you've lost something, when you regain it, you'll feel more warmth than trouble.

The three of them had just reached the cabin door.

Wanqikafu and Liu Yunzhao waved to them from inside: "Fenghua, Weiwei, come here quickly and sit down. The food has been served to you."

Bai Lu was helping Su Rujing arrange the dishes and serve them.

Hu Ji was like an ant on a hot pan, following Bai Lu back and forth, wanting to help but unable to get a hand in. Several times he even blocked Bai Lu's way, and Bai Lu almost bumped into him along with the vegetables.

"Oh dear, Brother Hu, why are you following me around like this? Go sit down!" Bai Lu finally couldn't help but shoo him away.

"Oh, hehe," Hu Ji chuckled, still glancing back at Bai Lu as he walked.

As he groped his way to the table, Wu Shang tripped him, causing him to stumble and nearly fall.

"What are you doing?" Hu Ji stared blankly at Wu Shang and Shan Yu He Ye, who were looking at him with smirks.

"What do you mean, 'what'?" Wu Shang tapped Hu Ji's forehead with his chopsticks, sounding exasperated.

"If you like Bailu, find a moment to be honest with her. Don't be like a dog, always hovering around her. It will only hinder her from doing her work and cultivating, and it will also waste your own time," Shanyu Heye said with a smile.

Hu Ji blushed immediately, scratching the back of his head, and said, "I... I'm just unsure. If she were still the same as before, I would have told her as soon as I saw her, but she's like this now..."

"What, you still dare to look down on her..." Wu Shang clenched his fist as he spoke, his tone full of threat.

"No, no, I like her and feel sorry for her, how could I dislike her?" Hu Ji quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid she'll overthink it; don't be fooled by her seemingly cheerful and carefree demeanor, I've noticed her secretly wiping away tears several times. She's a young woman, and if she's hurt, how can she truly let it go? If I were to tell her these things now, wouldn't that be like stabbing her in the heart?"

"Tsk, I didn't realize that someone as big and burly as you could be such a thoughtful person." Wu Shang breathed a sigh of relief and lightly punched Hu Ji with a hint of praise.
