"Grandpa Li, please come to our house for dinner. Aunt Wang's cooking is delicious, and my sister-in-law loves it."
After a busy morning, Wen Xingyue followed Li Tianbai to learn medicine.
Huo Tingxiao was reading a book in the yard, while Huo Tingjun was doing his homework; everyone had their own things to do.
As Li Tianbai processed the herbs, the sound of his little apprentice reciting his lessons filled his ears. Looking at the people in his courtyard, he inexplicably felt that the feeling of having someone to accompany him was quite nice.
Huo Tingjun put down his pen, glanced at the sun high in the sky, rubbed his sore arms from doing homework, and invited Li Tianbai to go home with them for dinner.
"Then I'll take my leave."
This time, Li Tianbai didn't refuse. Perhaps it was because he was getting old, but facing the chattering noise of the younger generation, Li Tianbai felt that his life was much more fulfilling.
Li Tianbai's rented house was not far from the Huo family's house. Li Tianbai was lucky. The son of the family in the compound was transferred to another place, and his daughter-in-law had given birth. The old couple had to go and help take care of the baby, so they thought of renting out the house so that it would be more lively and less likely to break down.
It just so happened that Li Tianbai needed to rent it, and with Mr. and Mrs. Huo as guarantors, Li Tianbai rented it very easily.
As for the rent, Li Tianbai had already returned all the money that was confiscated from him in his early years, and even received an extra subsidy, so he was not short of money.
Li Tianbai went back to his room to change into decent clothes, and carrying a bag of pastries, he followed the three of them toward the Huo family.
...
Wen Xingyue ate lunch and took a nap in the afternoon. When she went downstairs, she reached out and touched the side, but it was cold and icy. She couldn't put her hand on her firm waist and abdomen, nor could she touch her abs. There was no one around.
She opened her eyes and rubbed them, still sleepy.
Wen Xingyue found it too hot upstairs, so she moved downstairs to live with Huo Tingxiao early on. She not only took over Huo Tingxiao's room upstairs, but also his room downstairs.
She sat up; Huo Tingxiao was not there.
A small cabinet had been added next to the bed in the cramped room. On the cabinet was a pink cup filled with water. Wen Xingyue reached out, picked it up, and took a sip.
She would always feel thirsty after waking up from sleep, and Huo Tingxiao would always prepare water for her well in advance.
She slowly drank the water from her cup, while hushed voices could be faintly heard coming from the living room.
Where is Yueyue?
Wen Rushang brought a large pile of things again, and instructed the helpers to put them away before he sat down on the sofa.
Huo Tingxiao pushed the wheelchair and poured him a glass of water.
"She's been tired lately and is taking a nap, but she should wake up soon."
He put the cup down, glanced at the closed room behind him, and explained with a smile.
"No way, you're a beast! You still slept with my sister after all that?"
His smile and those words successfully misled Wen Rushang, who stared at Huo Tingxiao in disbelief.
Doesn't he dislike Yueyue?
What's with the doting look mentioned?
Wen Rushang has some work in Shenzhen. He came to the Huo family in a hurry to deliver some things to his sister, and then immediately took the train to Shenzhen, only returning today.
After having a meal with his parents and sister at home, he was still worried about Wen Xingyue, so he drove to the Huo family home with the gifts he had prepared for her.
"...Do you think I'm that much of a beast? She felt comfortable being next to me, so she moved downstairs."
Wen Rushang looked at the beast with disdain, thinking that if it weren't for his leg injury, he would probably have fought with him. Huo Tingxiao felt helpless.
He couldn't understand why a man who was usually so intelligent would suddenly lose his mind whenever he was dealing with Wen Xingyue.
"Comfortable? What's comfortable about a hard-on like you?"
His veiled boasting made Wen Rushang roll his eyes at him. What was so comfortable about a stinky man like him? Why was his sister clinging to him?
My younger sister doesn't even stick close to me.
Because I joined the army, every time I went home and wanted to hug my younger sister, she would say that she was too hard and uncomfortable to hug, and would only let me touch her head.
Why does Huo Tingxiao suddenly feel comfortable?
She's just as tough as him, so why is she treated differently?
Wen Rushang would not admit that he was jealous.
How could my sister possibly dislike him and like a stinky man?
"...She said I smelled nice, that I had saved many people, and that it was comfortable to be near me. You know, she was struck by lightning before she came to the human world, and her body was in a lot of pain. Being near me could alleviate her pain."
Huo Tingxiao didn't want to argue with his brother who was obsessed with his sister, so he explained helplessly.
"Hmph, then you'd better behave and let Yueyue stay next to you. It's a blessing that Yueyue is willing to stay next to you. She needs to drink milk to fall asleep at night, and she needs to drink warm water when she wakes up in the morning. She also gets thirsty after taking an afternoon nap, so you need to make sure she has water available..."
Oh right, Wen Rushang remembered. His sister was a little peach blossom spirit from the secret realm. Thinking about how his sister had been struck by lightning before, Wen Rushang felt sorry for her. He kept talking about Huo Tingxiao.
For Wen Rushang, who is obsessed with his sister, Huo Tingxiao should be secretly delighted that his sister is willing to cling to him every month, and he can't refuse.
Worried that Huo Tingxiao might not be able to take good care of his sister, she carefully explained his sister's living habits to him.
Previously, Huo Tingxiao disliked his sister, and Wen Rushang was just grateful that the two of them didn't quarrel. He didn't expect his brother to be good to his sister anymore, so he didn't expect Huo Tingxiao to take care of Wen Xingyue either.
But now the situation is different; Huo Tingxiao has won her heart.
Wen Rushang is such a smart man; he could tell at a glance that Huo Tingxiao had fallen for his sister when he came back this time.
Because his sister had forced him into marriage and he had acted immorally, Wen Rushang felt somewhat guilty towards his brother.
But now... Wen Rushang is getting cocky.
He said it himself: Yueyue is so beautiful, how could anyone not like her?
His sister is the best!!!
Wen Rushang is an absolute sister-obsessed man; in his heart, his sister is perfect in every way.
"By the way, how's your leg? I heard about someone in Haishi who's a very skilled doctor. Do you want to go see him?"
Wen Rushang lowered his eyes and stared at Huo Tingxiao's legs, sharing the information he had gathered.
He went to Haishi not only to do business, but also to ask around to see if there was anyone who could cure Huo Tingxiao's leg.
Whether as a good brother or brother-in-law, he hoped that Huo Tingxiao's leg would get better.
My former best friend, full of youthful vigor, should not be confined to a wheelchair.
"No need, I've found someone who can cure my leg."
Huo Tingxiao knew his friend meant well, so he shared his recent situation with him.
"Really? Pei Zhiming's grandfather, Old Master Pei? Wasn't he missing? How come Pei Zhiming has been searching for him like crazy all these years in Beijing?"
Wen Rushang listened to Huo Tingxiao's words with a mixture of happiness and doubt.
"Where is Elder Pei? Quick, quick, tell me! Elder Pei actually took Yueyue as his apprentice. I definitely have to bring a gift to thank him."
Upon learning that Elder Pei had accepted Wen Xingyue as his disciple, Wen Rushang was delighted and stood up to find a gift to express his gratitude.
