Lan Yan couldn't help but glance at Mu Xi, his eyes darkening. He suddenly said, "Perhaps you're right..."
Lan Yan used to feel that Mu Jin was always picking on him, but gradually, that feeling became blurred and eventually disappeared...
Recently, the cat has been drowsy every day, and it's all thanks to Mu Jin's reminders to cultivate. Although Mu Jin has a sharp tongue, his cultivation has improved a lot as a result.
The day before yesterday, he even asked him to pick up Mu Xi and bring her back...
Thinking about it this way, could Jin Er be a master with a sharp tongue but a soft heart?
What are we eating today?
Mu Xi had no idea what he was thinking; she was a little hungry.
Lan Yan immediately said, "This fish is for Master to make soup. She's only been drinking fish soup lately, along with a few vegetarian dishes, boiled beef, spicy crayfish, seafood tofu, and garlic vermicelli scallops."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xi felt even hungrier and exclaimed, "What a coincidence! These are all my favorite foods."
Lan Yan smiled smugly, "It's not a coincidence, I asked Grandma Mu."
Mu Xi, on the contrary, was taken aback.
...
When lunch was ready, Mu Jin returned.
He went straight to the cat, took her wrist seemingly casually, but actually checked her pulse.
Then he gently shook her, "Kitty, wake up."
After a while, the cat opened her eyes and lazily yawned, "Ah Jin, you're back."
Mu Jin nodded. "Commander Ren and the others have all returned to the ship."
Cat: "Oh, Fifth must be so happy, right?"
Mu Jin chuckled. "Yes, he's overjoyed. To prevent you from changing your mind, he's already sailed away."
He looked as if he was afraid that if he delayed even a second, the people he had trained would be left behind again.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was completely different. The cat only scooped the fish soup from her bowl with her little spoon, and the rest was almost all for Mu Xi.
Because Mu Jin and Lan Yan also eat very vegetarian food.
After finishing her soup, the cat went to the sofa to watch SpongeBob SquarePants. Not long after the TV was on, she lay down and fell asleep.
Mu Xi looked up and was stunned.
Mu Jin, however, was not surprised. He walked over, carefully picked up the cat, and went upstairs.
"You can continue eating."
Mu Xi watched them until they disappeared down the stairs before turning her gaze away.
After waiting for a long time, Mu Jin came downstairs, and Mu Xi finally couldn't help but lean close to him and say, "Second brother, how come second sister-in-law can sleep so much? Is her body really okay? Could it be that she's sleeping for decades like Lan Yan said... By the time she wakes up, I'll be old!"
She was obviously joking, but Lan Yan paused for a moment while clearing the dishes.
Mu Jin flicked her forehead and said, "Don't worry, the cat is fine, she'll be alright in a few days."
Mu Xi expressed her doubts, but Mu Jin's tone was so certain that she had no choice but to believe it.
...
In the afternoon, Lan Yan had some free time, so he painted in the cool breeze of the woods. There was a pavilion there, surrounded by lush foliage, making it very cool.
Mu Xi walked and walked until she came here. She sat down, drank a glass of water, and then looked at Lan Yan.
Lan Yan couldn't help but stop drawing because Mu Xi was watching him, and his heart was pounding so hard that he couldn't concentrate on his drawing.
Painting is a family tradition for him. Whether he is practicing or doing other things, he will set aside at least two hours every day to practice his skills without interruption.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lan Yan asked.
Mu Xi still had a research look on her face as she looked Lan Yan up and down. "I'm looking... have you reversed the aging process? I feel like you're even more handsome now than last year?"
Blue Flame's heart skipped a beat. "Really?"
His smile spread across his lips almost instantly, carrying a refreshing and cheerful quality.
Mu Xi looked at him, and this time she was sure. She nodded firmly, "I wasn't wrong, you really have become more handsome. I heard that high cultivation can preserve youth, and it seems to be true."
"Why are you so happy? You've been following my second sister-in-law in her cultivation practice, are you just being vain?"
Mu Xi teased him because Lan Yan's little expression was really too proud.
Lan Yan stared at Mu Xi, a sudden surge of heat rising in his head. Perhaps it was the pleasant atmosphere, the lack of disturbance, or perhaps he had waited too long; he was acting impulsively. He suddenly said:
"I'm happy because you're praising me. If it were someone else, I wouldn't care."
His gaze inexplicably became much more intense.
Mu Xi looked at Lan Yan, met his gaze, and couldn't help but look away. "You're still so vain. You keep drawing. I'm going to go for a walk somewhere else."
Lan Yan strode out and suddenly grabbed Mu Xi's hand! The latter tried to pull away, but did not break free.
"Blue Flame, is something the matter?" Mu Xi asked him, trying to sound natural.
Blue Flame stared intently into Mu Xi's eyes, as if trying to see into her very soul, leaving her no room to flinch! He said:
"Xiao Xi, I have something to tell you. The moment I saw you when I went to the Five Continents Dynasty, I wanted to tell you, but I've been waiting until now."
It's not because I forgot, nor because I gave up, but because I want to show you through my actions that no matter what you want to do, I will be there for you, and no matter how long you need to prepare, I will wait for you.
"I became your disciple not to show off, but because I want to be worthy of you, and I want to protect you!"
Lan Yan's chest rose and fell slightly. The words he had kept hidden in his heart were finally spoken at this moment! His feelings could finally be heard by Xiao Xi.
He was excited and nervous; his hand holding Mu Xi's was trembling slightly.
Mu Xi's expression shifted slightly. She seemed to be at a loss for words, unsure of what to say. She simply increased the force, trying to pull her hand away.
