"Mom, Little Fatty."
Just as Wen Xingyue sat down at the dining table, Huo's mother, who was upstairs, and Huo Tingjun, who was playing outside in the yard, also appeared.
"Xingyue, wake up! Did you sleep well?" Hearing the cheerful voice, Huo's mother smiled broadly.
"Mmm." Wen Xingyue nodded excitedly upon hearing this, as if she had just thought of something.
The room smelled wonderful. It had a faint purple aura from where he had lived for a long time, which smelled so comforting, just like the spiritual energy that the little peach blossom spirit sensed in the secret realm. Although it wasn't very strong, it was still nourishing to the body.
I feel my health is getting better and better if I spend a lot of time with Huo Tingxiao.
Wen Xingyue only then realized that the purple aura on Huo Tingxiao's body could nourish her own.
Although Wen Xingyue has now become human, her powerful soul still allows her to slowly feel the purple energy permeating her.
Wen Xingyue had experienced a lightning tribulation, which nearly took her life. There was no spiritual energy in the world for her to absorb and nourish her body, so she could only rely on resting and sleeping more to alleviate her discomfort.
After sleeping for two hours in Huo Tingxiao's room today, the heaviness in her body dissipated somewhat, and Wen Xingyue felt that she could walk more lightly.
Although the two often spent time together before, the space was always very spacious. Even though Huo Tingxiao was surrounded by purple energy, it was too thin in the vast air. In addition, the time they spent alone together was not very long, so Wen Xingyue could not feel it.
Until today, she entered Huo Tingxiao's private territory and spent a long time with him. In the narrow space, her breath slowly poured out, silently entering Wen Xingyue's body little by little.
Huo's mother had only asked casually, as a joke, out of concern, but she never expected to hear this.
Both Huo's mother and Huo Tingjun looked at Huo Tingxiao, who had just come out of his room. Both of them had an expression that suggested this boy was capable of shouldering great responsibilities.
They had previously worried that their son (eldest brother) wouldn't have anything to leave behind for Wen Xingyue, but now they finally have a reason.
Since Xingyue feels comfortable being with her son, she should spend more time with him for the sake of her own well-being.
Huo Tingxiao himself was also surprised, never expecting that he had this function.
At the same time, I also felt a sense of relief, at least I wasn't useless in front of her.
“Xingyue, Tingxiao never listens to his mother and often stays in his room by himself. Could you spend more time with him in his room for me?”
Huo's mother's mind raced, and she looked at Wen Xingyue with pleading eyes.
She wanted to help Wen Xingyue, and she also genuinely wanted Wen Xingyue to keep a closer eye on Huo Tingxiao for her.
Huo Tingxiao didn't want to endure the pity, regret, and heartache of his family, neighbors, and friends every moment, nor did he want to cause them too much trouble, so he often stayed in his room alone.
Even if a person appears nonchalant and indifferent to their disability, only they themselves know whether they truly care.
Seeing their once spirited eldest son now confined to the narrow space of a wheelchair, often staring blankly at one spot with unfocused eyes, the parents felt heartbroken.
Previously, they didn't force Wen Xingyue to stay with her son, but if Xingyue is willing to stay with her son, Huo's mother will wholeheartedly agree.
"Okay, Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on him for you from now on."
Unexpectedly, such a good thing happened. Wen Xingyue's eyes lit up and she quickly agreed.
[I was just wondering how to get into Huo Tingxiao's room openly and legitimately. With a beautiful mother like that, hehe, this little peach blossom spirit can just walk in whenever she wants!]
Having no say whatsoever, Huo Tingxiao, whose life and death were decided with a single sentence, glanced helplessly at his mother.
She really doesn't care about her own thoughts or her own life or death.
Huo's mother turned her head away and raised her neck, ignoring his thoughts.
His opinion is unimportant.
Moreover, his silence in rebuttal is tantamount to acknowledging his decision, isn't it?
Hmph, just like his dad, a repressed pervert who needs someone to give him a push. If he really disagreed, he would have stopped him when he first opened his mouth. He tacitly agreed after he finished speaking.
Mr. Huo's father had something to do at the team today and didn't come home for dinner, so it was just the four of them at home.
"Xingyue, eat more. This fish is Wang Ma's specialty. Be careful of the bones."
Mrs. Huo used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish from the belly of the fish for Wen Xingyue, and gave her some instructions.
"Thank you, Mom." Wen Xingyue nodded obediently.
The family finished their meal in a warm and cozy atmosphere.
She couldn't go to sleep right after eating, so the whole family stayed in the living room with Wen Xingyue and watched TV.
"Sister-in-law, my mom and I bought some new milk tea on our way back. Try it, it's so delicious, I'm sure you'll love it."
Huo Tingjun saw Wen Xingyue lounging lazily on the sofa, so he took a glass from the kitchen containing something that looked like milk and placed it in front of her.
"milk tea?"
Seeing that Xiao Pang looked so certain that she would like something she had never heard of before, Wen Xingyue became curious. She took the glass from Xiao Pang's hand. It came with a straw. Wen Xingyue tentatively lowered her head and took a sip. Her eyes lit up instantly.
"Isn't it delicious, sister-in-law? I knew you'd like it."
Seeing his sister-in-law's eyes light up, Huo Tingjun shook his head happily, looking very proud.
He knew his sister-in-law liked to drink it.
"It's delicious!"
After taking a sip, Wen Xingyue immediately fell in love with it and nodded repeatedly.
"Haha, this kid got the right one. This thing called milk tea is something I found after we came out of the hospital for a check-up. It's a new shop that opened not far from the hospital. It's bustling with people, and there are lots of young people and kids buying it inside. Everyone coming out is holding a drink that looks like milk."
They said it was called milk tea, made with milk and tea leaves. Upon hearing this, the kid said, "You'll definitely like it," and immediately ran to queue up to buy some with his own pocket money.
Mrs. Huo sat to the side and smiled. She was a little surprised to see that Wen Xingyue really liked it. This was tea and milk mixed together. Could it taste good?
But seeing Xingyue's satisfied and joyful expression, it's probably because she can't keep up with the tastes of young people anymore. But as long as her daughter-in-law likes it, that's good.
"Hmph, I know my sister-in-law best. Her shop has many other new products. I'll bring them back for you tomorrow," Huo Tingjun said.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Fatty. Here's the money. You can buy it for me tomorrow. Fatty, is that enough? If not, I'll go back to my room and get you more."
Wen Xingyue nodded quickly, and casually took out some money from her pocket and stuffed it into Huo Tingjun's hand.
She didn't know how much the milk tea cost; this was all she had in her pocket, stuffed into her bag by Wen Rushang before he left.
Wen Xingyue didn't know the amount of money, but she stuffed it all into Huo Tingjun's hands.
"Sister-in-law, I have money. Keep this money safe and don't lose it."
A stack of brand-new ten-yuan notes was stuffed into his hand, along with five-yuan and one-yuan notes, a small pile of loose change. Huo Tingjun had never seen so much money before, and it felt incredibly hot to the touch, so he quickly pushed it back to Wen Xingyue.
He silently marveled at how rich his sister-in-law was.
Huo's mother and Huo Tingxiao were also left speechless by Wen Xingyue's generous spending.
