The warm sunlight gently crept across the horizon, and golden rays gradually filled the sky.
Beams of warm light pierced through the thin mist and fell upon the black and white Liyue Manor.
The manor was not as quiet as usual today; the sounds of laughter and playfulness could be faintly heard coming from the main villa.
In the elegant and luxurious hall, Lu Zhufeng stood tall with a steamed bun in his mouth, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light as he looked around at the empty space.
"Little Yunmo, you dare to tease your martial uncle just because you know an invisibility technique? Your martial uncle will soon show you why the flowers are so red!"
Sitting at the dining table, the chubby Kitayama blinked his little eyes, stuffing desserts made by a Michelin-starred chef into his mouth while leisurely watching the uncle-nephew battle.
Sitting on the other side, Leng Ruxue held a fork in one hand and kept fanning the flames.
"Uncle, you're not a stray soldier, are you? You can't even catch a little kid."
"Old woman, who are you calling a hairy kid?"
Yunmo's angry voice rang out at just the right moment.
The next second, Lu Zhufeng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he took a step forward, grabbing at the air diagonally in front of him.
Then, he raised his hand high, exposing Yunmo's small figure to the air once again.
He was lifted up like a chick by the tall Lu Zhufeng, his two short legs kicking wildly, trying to escape from Lu Zhufeng's grasp.
Lu Zhufeng's huge hand landed mercilessly on his buttocks, the sound of which echoed throughout the hall.
"You audacious brat, how dare you show such disrespect to your martial uncle! You deserve to be punished!"
A blood-red blush spread down Yunmo's neck and instantly reached the top of his head, and an angry voice roared from his throat.
"Lu Gou, all I did was steal a steamed bun from you! If you've got the guts, put me down and let's fight one-on-one!"
Although he knew it was a provocation, Lu Zhufeng deliberately let him off the hook and chuckled.
"Come here, little Yunmo, let your master see how much skill you've gained."
Yunmo's face flushed red and then pale. He glanced around and suddenly formed a hand seal, his body vanishing from the spot in an instant.
The next second, he appeared behind Chu Wan, who was carrying a tray toward the dining table. He lightly pinched the hem of Chu Wan's clothes with his fingers, his eyes glistening with tears as he looked away from her.
"Sister Wan, please help me! I'm scared!"
Chu Wan stared at him with a calm, unwavering gaze for a long time before expressionlessly ruffling his hair.
Yunmo couldn't help but grin.
Lu Zhufeng, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. Damn it, you really have inherited someone's true skills!
On the sofa in the distance, Xiao Wujie and Lin Qingyi were sitting facing each other around a chessboard. Hearing the commotion in the hall, they couldn't help but chuckle.
He coughed lightly, his fist pressed to his lips, and then gently tapped a chess piece on the board with his slender fingers, letting out a soft laugh.
"A group of grown men, yet they act like children."
Lin Qingyi, who had been staring at the chessboard, suddenly looked up with a strange expression, pursed her lips slightly, and said softly:
"Actually, you're the only child here."
Xiao Wujie coughed repeatedly at her sudden remark, and Lin Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle.
"The stream in front of the door still flows westward, so don't sing of the yellow rooster with white hair. Even an old man in his eighties has a childlike side, but you are so young, it seems you have already seen through all the affairs of the world. You should be more childlike."
After calming his breathing, Xiao Wujie added a touch of arrogance:
"I just don't bother showing my childish side in front of those vulgar people."
"So you're willing to show it off in front of Sister Chu?"
"Sister Qingyi, you..." Have you been spending too much time with Lu Zhufeng and become corrupted?
This habit of revealing other people's secrets is not good.
Looking at Lin Qingyi across from him, who was covering her mouth and chuckling, Xiao Wujie was at a loss for words.
His gaze flickered slightly as he looked at Lin Qingyi, then he smiled gently.
"Sister Qingyi is right, it's good to be a little childlike."
They exchanged a smile and then continued to immerse themselves in the game of chess.
After a long while, Lin Qingyi's slender fingers holding the chess piece paused slightly, she chuckled and shook her head, then put the chess piece down.
"Your chess skills are indeed far superior to mine. No matter how many games we play, I will always be one move behind you."
Xiao Wujie turned his gaze away from the chessboard and looked at Lin Qingyi, who was shaking her head helplessly, and smiled slightly.
"Does Sister Qingyi want to know why?"
"Why?"
A gentle smile appeared on her delicate face, and Lin Qingyi looked up at Xiao Wujie, who was also smiling.
"Sister Qingyi's chess skills are actually no less than mine. She is cautious in her moves and takes every step carefully."
"But focusing too much on the role of local pieces has tied Sister Qingyi's hands and feet, preventing her from getting out of the mud before her. How can she see the vast sky outside?"
"Sometimes, learning to let go and not be trapped by a single problem allows us to move forward steadily and see the beautiful future ahead."
The rays of sunlight shone on him, making his eyes appear even warmer and brighter.
Her beautiful eyes held a complex mix of emotions that others couldn't decipher as she quietly gazed at Xiao Wujie, who had a gentle smile on his face.
Finally, Lin Qingyi smiled gently, like a delicate flower reflecting the moon, beautiful and moving.
"rest assured."
"I will."
You were born with unparalleled nobility, and you should be like the moon in the heavens, pure and spotless, illuminating the boundless darkness.
I understand what you mean by not being bound by a single move. I will learn not to be bound by the mud of the past, even though I am covered in it. But for now, I am willing to confine myself to this self-imposed prison for the rest of my life.
You hang high in the heavens, your clear light reaching for ten thousand miles, while I only need to be a tree watching over the moon in the quiet night when the wind howls.
"Want to play another round?"
"No, thank you."
Seeing Xiao Wujie's still deathly pale face, after refusing, Lin Qingyi softly advised:
"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, you should rest in bed more."
Xiao Wujie nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Chu Liyue left early in the morning, as lying in bed alone and unable to sleep was an unpleasant experience.
The manor is usually deserted and quiet, so it's nice to see it so lively all of a sudden.
As if sensing his thoughts, Lin Qingyi said softly:
"Sister Chu told me that she plans to let them stay here for a while longer. She'll probably be quite busy lately, so having more people around to keep you company will prevent you from being aloof and detached from worldly concerns all the time."
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Wujie suddenly smiled.
"They all stayed to keep me company, but what about Sister Qingyi?"
Lin Qingyi was taken aback by his words, a touch of tenderness welling up in her beautiful eyes as she softly teased him.
"I'll stay, but I don't have time to spend with you."
"I will take over your original position as the attending physician, but my background is too different from his."
"Many of the treatment methods are quite different from his, so I need to hand over the details with him and work together to develop the next treatment plan..."
Seeing that she was rambling on like she was reciting a mantra, Xiao Wujie quickly waved his hand.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Sister Qingyi. I'm entrusting my life to you now."
Lin Qingyi smiled slightly.
Don't worry.
No matter what, I won't let anything happen to you!
I still want to wait for you for the rest of my life!
