Zhang Yayan turned into a little crybaby, shedding tears non-stop, feeling very aggrieved.
Wen Xi said helplessly, "Mom, the situation was urgent at the time, and I couldn't tell you in detail. Isn't he back intact?"
"Wow, wow, I know you must have had a hard time this year. My precious daughter, how could you suffer such injustice?"
Zhang Yayan leaned forward and kissed her cheek tenderly, "Why don't I work hard to improve myself so I can help you in the future."
Wen Xi said, "Mom, your attainments in metaphysics in your previous life were indeed quite impressive. If you really want to improve yourself, I support you. However, the shadow has disappeared, and the biggest enemy is gone. Don't be so hard on yourself."
Wen Qingshan received Wen Xi's gaze and quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's most important that our daughter comes back. Our family is reunited again. Yayan, don't think too much."
Wen Jianghan hummed softly, and the ice in his eyes melted. The corners of his lips curled up and he said, "I've asked Aunt Li to prepare a table full of dishes that Xiaoxi likes. I'll let her eat more later."
Wen Jinyu smiled and said, "Just seeing Xiaoxi come back makes me satisfied. Mom, please don't cry. You should smile."
Zhang Yayan then wiped her tears and nodded reluctantly.
When Wen Chenxi came back exhausted, the moment he saw Wen Xi, he couldn't help but hug her in his arms.
Wen Chenxi sighed, "It's great, Xiaoxi, I finally waited for you to come home. Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?"
Wen Xi patted his arm and said, "Well, second brother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Those simple words seemed to have lifted a heavy burden from his heart, making his eyes moist. He uttered a low "hmm" with a heavy nasal tone.
Wen Xi checked Wen Chenxi's neck again. The mark of the evil spirit had completely disappeared, and she could no longer detect any excess foul air. Only then did she feel relieved.
Wen Chenxi glanced out the window and suddenly said quietly, "Oh, by the way, there are actually people who are particularly concerned about your sudden departure. Although I usually look down on that guy, I can see that he has real feelings for you. He's also quite miserable. His family is broken and he has no close relatives. Mom can't stand it, so she keeps calling him over for dinner and wants to take care of him a little. Sometimes you can often see him standing in the yard in a daze. Why don't you go and see him?"
Wen Xi bit her lip lightly. She knew who Wen Chenxi was talking about without looking outside.
Wen Chenxi explained, "Of course, I'm not helping him. I just don't want to see him always sitting in the yard waiting for his wife to come. It's so annoying!"
Seeing his hard-mouthed yet soft-hearted appearance, Wen Xi smiled helplessly and shook her head, "I understand, second brother. I'll be back soon."
Wen Xi stood up and walked into the yard. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Shaoyan standing tall and gracefully under a big tree.
The former cartoonist seemed to have grown a lot taller over the years, and his outstanding profile was like glass in the ice and snow, cold and desolate yet eye-catching. He raised his light eyes and looked at Wen Xi, and like the first snow melting, his eyes burst into a warm light.
"Wen Xi, you're finally... back!"
It took Xiao Shaoyan a long time to find his voice. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and he didn't know how to get along with her. He took two hesitant steps and then froze in his tracks.
"Xiao Shaoyan, are you okay?"
Wen Xi smiled, walked towards him, patted his shoulder and said, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me? You're acting so strangely."
Seeing that she was in the same temper as always, Xiao Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, "No, how could that be, I just haven't seen you for too long, and I'm worried about whether you have been doing well this year."
Wen Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I'm fine. As for you, I'm sorry about Xiao Changji's matter, but his soul was devoured from the beginning, and he won't come back..."
When Xiao Changji was mentioned, Xiao Shaoyan's eyes dimmed considerably. He curled his lips and said, "Well, I know. After being in the Special Management Bureau for a long time, I seem to have become more indifferent to life and death. It's just that I don't have any relatives around me anymore. I'm completely alone."
His tone was full of mockery towards herself. Wen Xi couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch his cheek. Seeing Xiao Shaoyan's stunned expression, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Xiao Shaoyan, don't be so sad. Losing family members is not easy for anyone. I don't know how to comfort you, but you still have friends around you. We are neighbors. My family treats you well, right? You can treat my family as your family. Although my second brother scolds you and looks fierce, he still cares about you. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If you don't have food to eat, just come over and eat. Don't keep all these sad things in your heart alone."
Seeing Wen Xi retract her hand that was pinching his face, Xiao Shaoyan raised his hand to touch his red cheek and said, "Well, Uncle Wen and Auntie have been very caring towards me over the past year. I hardly ever ate at home, and the nanny at home also quit. Now I'm a professional freeloader."
Wen Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I don't need you for these few meals. I just heard from my mother that when I was away, you got the turbid air crystal I dropped and helped my mother rebuild her soul. Thank you, Xiao Shaoyan."
Xiao Shaoyan smiled gently, "Between you and me, there's no need to say thank you."
"Okay, then don't be polite to me. What are you doing standing at the door? Come in and sit down. It's so hot outside. Aren't you afraid of getting a heat stroke?"
Wen Xi waved her hand, and Xiao Shaoyan obediently followed her into the house.
When the Wen family saw Xiao Shaoyan, they all smiled kindly. Xiao Shaoyan's empty heart finally found a place to stay.
"By the way, little sister, where have you been this year?"
Wen Qinglian sat beside her, holding her hand, and asked with concern, "Although I wasn't at the scene, I heard from my elder brother and the others that you were trying to repair the crack and got caught in it. Are you okay? Did you suffer any serious injuries?"
Wen Xi stood up and turned in front of them. "It's okay, I'm fine. At that time, in order to prevent the foul air from leaking, I had to seal the cracks with my own strength. I stayed in the forbidden area for a while and only came out a while ago. But don't worry, I was able to absorb the foul air from my second brother and turn around to control it, so they didn't do much harm to me. During the year I disappeared, I spent most of my time in the forbidden area learning how to use the foul air."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, and wisps of foul air appeared in her palm, which she controlled with ease.
