Chapter 169 Family



Autumn mornings always make people sleepy and want to stay in bed. Even though you can't fall asleep, you just want to close your eyes, not think about anything, and lie quietly in bed.

Xie Wei was the same; when he opened his eyes and looked at his phone, it was almost ten o'clock before he got up to brush his teeth and wash up.

After washing up, Xie Wei looked around when he went downstairs and saw Xie Lan sitting on the sofa wearing a bear-patterned pajama.

"Huh? Is it just the two of us at home today?"

Hearing Xie Wei's voice, Xie Lan turned around and answered his question while counting on her fingers, "Qingying, Xiaowei, and Miaomiao went to the company. Tangguo said she has to go there for the release of the new song, and Ningning has something to do in the underworld."

Xie Wei nodded, turned around and walked to the dining table, where Li Ning had prepared breakfast in advance.

"It's just the two of us alone today."

"Um"

"Any plans?" Xie Lan asked, her tone filled with anticipation.

Xie Wei tilted his head slightly, feigning deep thought, "Aside from cultivation matters, it seems there's nothing else."

"You stinky Xie Wei!" Xie Lan puffed out her cheeks and angrily turned her head away from Xie Wei.

"Does Xie Lan have any plans?" I found her sulking appearance rather endearing.

Being with Su Miaomiao and the others made him more emotionally expressive, and his facial expressions became more varied, no longer giving off a cold and aloof feeling, and carrying a hint of loneliness.

Xie Wei knew what she wanted to say and what she meant, but Xie Wei was probably just waking up today and was being a little pretentious.

His idea was simple: to let Xie Lan express her own thoughts.

Although they never spoke of it, their feelings for each other were clear.

"Will you accompany me no matter what I do?" Xie Lan floated into the air.

"That depends on whether Xie Lan wants me to accompany her," Xie Wei said.

“Hmph, fine, I won’t keep you company then.” Although she said that, Xie Lan sat on Xie Wei’s lap and angrily punched him.

Xie Wei didn't feel any pain because of the lack of strength. He patted her head and said with a smile, "I'll stay with you. I'll do whatever you want."

Seeing her aloof face paired with her puffed-up little expression, the contrast was striking, and Xie Wei had no choice but to surrender in front of her.

"I want to go to the supermarket; I'm out of snacks in my system space. Maybe I'll just stay home and do something."

"Going to the supermarket? Are you alright looking like this?" Xie Wei was worried that if others saw her spirit form, it would cause a sensation, but she was even more worried that someone might take advantage of Xie Lan.

Xie Lan smiled, understanding Xie Wei's meaning. She tilted her high, straight nose and said smugly, "You can see me because you're my host, and Xiao Wei and the others can only see me because I wanted them to. Otherwise, no one but you could discover me."

Xie Wei nodded. If that's the case, what happened when his parents came to visit last time and then ran back into the system space?

Feeling guilty? Or perhaps shy?

Now that things are arranged, let's get started.

A beam of holy light appeared before Xie Wei. When the light dissipated, Xie Lan, who had been wearing pajamas just moments before, had changed into casual clothes.

Wearing a white Chanel-style jacket and a pencil skirt suit, along with white stockings, Xie Lan, relying on her spirit form, never wore shoes, thus providing Xie Wei with ample "benefits."

Changing clothes directly is so convenient!

She even took two sections of her waist-length, off-white hair and braided them into two small braids, leaving the remaining half-tied down her shoulders.

No one outside can see Xie Lan; only Xie Wei can. She dressed up specifically for him.

Therefore, when girls choose clothes or put on makeup, it's for themselves and also to show their best side to their loved ones.

Once they were ready, the two went out to the nearest supermarket.

Xie Wei pushed the cart, with Xie Lan pulling him along, heading straight for the snack section.

"Xie Wei, do you think it would be safe to put these things directly into the system space without anyone noticing?" Xie Lan's voice echoed in Xie Wei's mind as he looked at the dazzling array of snacks in the supermarket.

Because they were outside, the two could only communicate through telepathy; otherwise, Xie Wei might be arrested by the police if he talked to thin air.

"Losing one or two snacks shouldn't be a problem, but if it's a large item or too many things are missing, then maybe..." Xie Wei knew Xie Lan was joking, so he went along with her.

"Xie Wei, your idea is dangerous," Xie Lan said with a smile, clearly in a good mood.

"Each other is in the same boat"

After selecting the snacks, Xie Wei pushed the cart around and wandered around some more. The daily necessities, fruits, vegetables, and meats were regularly changed by the maids at home, so the two of them just strolled around.

When Xie Wei arrived at the toy section, he spotted a box of building blocks. Since he didn't have much to do at home anyway, this was perfect.

After shopping at the supermarket, Xie Wei even went out of his way to buy a bouquet of white roses.

Do I have to be on a special day to send flowers? Can't I send them on any other day?

Xie Lan used to disdain these mundane things, but now it's different; she only feels joy and sweetness filling her heart.

What you give isn't the key; the person giving it is.

The two returned home and began preparing lunch.

Xie Lan couldn't eat the food himself, but as long as the prepared food was placed in the system space, just like snacks, Xie Lan could eat it.

After they finished eating, the two took out the building blocks they bought from the supermarket as a form of exercise to aid digestion.

The model isn't large, but it has a lot of building blocks. Fortunately, there are diagrams showing the position of each block.

The two had a clear division of labor: Xie Lan directed the work with the blueprints, while Xie Wei did the actual work.

At first, Xie Lan held the blueprints upside down, and Xie Wei's attempt to assemble a bizarre mess led to the two of them sitting on the floor and laughing at each other.

They gradually got into the swing of things, and the finished product was soon in front of them.

It's shaped like a little angel holding a star, and the star lights up when it's plugged in; functionally, it's a nightlight.

The angel is beautiful and cute, which suits Xie Lan perfectly.

After finishing the building blocks, Xie Wei stretched, while Xie Lan pretended to be a blind person who had gone blind from looking at the blueprints and started playing around with Xie Wei.

After the playful fight ended, Xie Lan snuggled in Xie Wei's arms again, holding his hand with one hand and using the other to turn on the remote control and select a movie.

They were watching a romantic comedy. As Xie Wei expected, Xie Lan fell asleep in his arms. It seemed that he was a little tired from shopping at the supermarket and building blocks.

With Xie Wei's current physique, she would never feel tired, but Xie Lan is different. Not in the system space, Xie Wei's spiritual power is outside as a spirit body, just like an ordinary person, and she will feel a little tired.

Looking at Xie Lan's cold and stern face, sleeping peacefully in his arms, he observed her closely for a while, his fingertips rubbing together before separating, as if he had made some kind of decision.

He smiled, kissed her forehead, turned off the projection, and carried her into the room.
