Master Jingyuan took back his phone and waved behind him, "Goodbye, Junior Grandmaster."
The absurd day finally came to an end, and Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandmaster, Grandmaster, Master and I are leaving."
Lin Xi waved, "Bye-bye."
Upon receiving her reply, Yunyan took off running.
Master Jingyuan chased after him, "Disciple, slow down, my old back is killing me, wait, carry me back..."
The two left, bickering. Lin Xi watched their retreating figures and couldn't help but sigh, "The old man is getting more and more senile. Let's go too."
"Hmm." Fu Jingyao walked beside her as usual. "Xixi, where else do you want to go?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "I'm not playing anymore, I'm a little tired."
After dealing with the corpses in the cemetery in the morning, I had lunch and met Master Jingyuan and Yunyan. In the afternoon, I strolled around Yunxiang Ancient Town. It was a very fulfilling day.
After the initial excitement, fatigue set in, and Lin Xi yawned. "Have you finished dealing with company matters? When are we going back to the capital?"
Fu Jingyao glanced at her sideways, "You don't need to worry about company matters. You can come whenever you want."
Lin Xi shook her head. "I didn't buy a ticket. I came by ghost bus."
Fu Jingyao said calmly, "No need to buy a ticket, we have a private jet, we can leave anytime."
Lin Xi was slightly surprised; it was normal for a domineering CEO to have a private jet.
She looked up and said, "Rest for one night, then head back to the capital tomorrow."
"Okay, whatever you say." Seeing that her walking posture was gradually becoming penguin-like, Fu Jingyao immediately stopped. "Xixi, this part of the road is a bit far. I'll carry you to the car."
Lin Xi waved her hand, "No need, I'm not that fragile, I can walk by myself."
The man bent slightly with his back to her, his arms outstretched behind him. "Xixi, get on, I want to carry you on my back."
Having said all that, Lin Xi had no reason to refuse. She hooked her arms around the man's neck, jumped lightly onto his back, and a thick purple aura rushed towards her.
Lin Xi let out a soft sigh; her fatigue was slowly disappearing. Fu Jingyao's power bank was indeed very useful.
She tightened her grip, hugging him even more, and rested her chin on his shoulder, rubbing against him a couple of times.
A soft touch spread from his back throughout his body. Fu Jingyao tensed up, his voice a little hoarse, "Xixi, if we were in a different place, this would be very dangerous for you."
"Huh?" Lin Xi didn't understand. "What danger? Will I fall?"
Fu Jingyao chuckled softly, "No, trust your husband."
Xixi is very light, so it's easy to carry or put her on your back.
He walked forward step by step, asking, "Is this pace alright?"
"It's great." Lin Xi leaned on his back and looked at the scenery along the way.
Next to Yunxiang Ancient Town is a famous lake, a blue-green lake that lies quietly among the mountains like a bright pearl.
The beautiful scenery flashed by, and Lin Xi recalled Master Jingyuan's words: What exactly is liking?
For her, liking someone doesn't mean disliking them, but she doesn't have the urge to punch them.
When she used to go down the mountain to catch ghosts, Grandpa Tiezhu's dog was particularly fond of her and would chase after her every day wagging its tail.
She also likes puppies and saves chicken leg bones for them to eat.
Perhaps this is what liking someone is?
She likes Fu Jingyao, her grandparents, and the five little elves; she is very happy to be with them.
Wait, something seems different?
Family, friendship, and love are three different things.
Lin Xi fell into deep thought, recalling the moments after her marriage.
Fu Jingyao was different; he was unique to her.
She looked forward to seeing him every day, thought about him when she couldn't sleep, and didn't mind his touch.
Just like now, she only wants Fu Jingyao to carry her, no one else, including Xiao Jin and the others.
Lin Xi stared at the man in front of her. At this moment, she felt a liking for Fu Jingyao. Was this feeling love?
Not just at this moment, but at many other times, such as hugging, holding hands...
Is this love...?
Oh dear, this is so complicated.
Lin Xi thought for a long time, her mind becoming increasingly confused.
She decided to follow Master Jingyuan's advice and watch more TV dramas or read more novels, something that Aunt Wu and Xiaomu had experience with.
Read the novel first, and ask questions if you don't understand.
A gentle evening breeze blew, rippling the calm lake surface. The two shadows overlapped, gradually turning into a black dot and disappearing around the street corner.
...
In the car, Lin Xi opened her eyes. "Have we arrived?"
Fu Jingyao took a blanket from the back seat and covered her with it. "Sleep a little longer, we'll be at the hotel in ten minutes."
Lin Xi nodded, "Okay, call me when we arrive."
Just as Fu Jingyao was about to start the car, his phone suddenly rang.
Ring ring!
It wasn't his phone ringtone.
Lin Xi took out her phone. "Mine."
She picked it up and her eyes widened suddenly. "Butler Liu actually called me."
As everyone knows, Butler Liu is extremely professional and has a strong sense of boundaries; no one would contact her rashly, let alone call her.
Lin Xi pressed the answer button, and a noisy sound came through, sounding exactly like a ghost's.
"Butler Liu?"
"Madam, it's me."
Butler Liu's voice was very soft, like that of a thief.
“Madam, unless it’s something urgent, I will absolutely not disturb your date with the young master.”
“Listen to me, this is very strange.”
"After we parted ways with you, Defu and I went for a walk around the streets and accidentally wandered into a small alley. No matter which way we went, we couldn't find our way out."
“I circled around ten times, and was trapped for a full two hours, thirty-two minutes, and forty seconds. I called everyone I could, but only your number, Madam, was reachable.”
"Young Madam, call the police immediately!!"
Lin Xi quickly calculated with her fingers and calmly instructed, "Ordinary police officers won't do; you've run into a ghost."
Butler Liu gasped, "A ghost?!"
