Chapter 81 Life is like a journey, and I am but a traveler.



Lin Xiao looked at the proud yet aggrieved You Wanjun and couldn't help but chuckle.

He smiled and said playfully, "Jun Jun, how can you be so cute?"

You Wanjun raised her head, her ears turning bright red, and whispered, "Am I cute?"

Lin Xiao nodded and smiled, "You're very cute. So cute that it makes me want to tease you."

You Wanjun pursed her lips, raised her head, and gave a soft hum.

"Don't think I won't retaliate."

As she spoke, she crawled toward Lin Xiao.

Like a beautiful ragdoll cat.

With her clear yet alluring eyes, she stared intently at Lin Xiao, this two-legged beast.

She buried her head in Lin Xiao's lap and stopped moving.

Lin Xiao: "…………"

This was a development that Lin Xiao had not anticipated.

What's wrong with being a little stimulating?

Lin Xiao raised his hand and touched You Wanjun's thick, smooth chestnut hair, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with our Junjun?"

"Did you encounter any unpleasant people or things outside?"

Tell me, and I'll help you scold those blind fools.

You Wanjun's body trembled slightly.

She never expected that Lin Xiao's touch on her hair would feel so good.

She lifted her head, then leaned against Lin Xiao's chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "Lin Xiao, hold me tight."

Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback.

He tightly encircled You Wanjun.

A moment of silence.

With her eyes closed, You Wanjun called out wearily, "Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao..."

Lin Xiao felt a shiver run through his heart.

Damn it.

Why call him by the name of a substitute so tenderly and affectionately?

Shouldn't it be the name Fengqi used?

But he replied in a low voice, "I'm here, I'm here."

You Wanjun gave a soft "Mmm" like a cat, "Just five minutes. Call me when it's time."

"Um."

Lin Xiao, with a popular young actress in his arms and smelling the rose fragrance emanating from her, had the illusion that he was the male lead in some urban romance drama.

He tapped on the screen of You Wanjun's phone, which was on the coffee table, and glanced at the time.

Then I started to daydream.

He thought of his deceased parents.

Tell yourself that he will die too.

Humans are born towards death.

Nothing lasts forever.

Relax a little.

It's no big deal.

Even if the genetic testing results confirm that he is Feng Bairan's son, it's not a big deal.

He's become independent.

Whether or not they acknowledge the Feng family, it's not a big deal.

He thought of his aunt again.

Perhaps his aunt won't be able to stay with him for much longer.

If his aunt leaves, he'll be all alone.

A line of ancient poetry suddenly flashed through his mind: "Life between heaven and earth is like a journey."

Then I thought of another line from Su Shi's poem: "Life is like a journey, and I am but a traveler."

He suddenly chuckled softly, his eyes even becoming slightly moist.

You Wanjun was awakened by his soft laughter.

She muttered, "How long has it been?"

Lin Xiao glanced at his phone. "It's been half an hour."

You Wanjun let out a soft "Ah," and said, "Has it been so long? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I couldn't bear to wake you," Lin Xiao said.

You Wanjun got up from Lin Xiao's arms; her legs were numb from being crooked for so long.

She stood up slowly and then stretched.

What were you laughing at?

Lin Xiao also got up and stretched his stiff body.

"I wasn't laughing at anything."

You Wanjun glared at him with a smile, "Liar!"

Lin Xiao smiled but did not answer.

A moment later, You Wanjun tossed a script to Lin Xiao, saying, "You'll rehearse with me."

Lin Xiao glanced at the script and said, "This script is good! The characters are well-developed, and the lines are quite interesting."

You Wanjun said proudly, "Of course! I always choose the scripts first when accepting roles. I definitely won't accept a bad script."

The two began to rehearse their lines.

Lin Xiao has a deep, magnetic voice, and he is extremely charming when he is seriously engaged in playing various roles.

This made You Wanjun glance at him from time to time, her eyes sparkling and her spirits high.

...

...

At five o'clock, Lin Xiao got up and prepared to leave.

You Wanjun suddenly said, "Lin Xiao, it's lunchtime. Why don't you stay and have hot pot with me? I've prepared all the ingredients."

Lin Xiao paused.

Hot pot, huh?

He also likes to eat it.

It's still free money.

Seeing Lin Xiao's hesitation, You Wanjun pinched his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Last week you went into the water to save someone and left with Meng Fanxue first. I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

"You promised to make it up to me this week. Stay and eat with us, it's such a waste if I can't finish it all by myself."

Lin Xiao asked with a straight face, "Do you have fatty beef and hanging tenderloin?"

"Yes! We also have your favorite duck intestines and crispy sausages."

Lin Xiao chuckled and asked, "How did you know I like to eat duck intestines and crispy sausages?"

Yu Wanjun said playfully, "Because I like to eat it too. No one can resist tender duck intestines and chewy crispy sausages."

"Alright then. Sorry to bother you."

You Wanjun rushed into the kitchen, "Lin Xiao, come help me!"

A moment later, Lin Xiao and You Wanjun sat down at the long table made of rosewood.

"Let's eat!" You Wanjun happily added half a plate of fatty beef to the bubbling, spicy red broth.

Lin Xiao picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fatty beef, dipped it in a homemade chili sauce made with millet peppers.

One gulp down.

It's incredibly spicy and flavorful.

"It's delicious," Lin Xiao said sincerely.

You Wanjun's hair was now tied into a bun, revealing her smooth forehead and fair neck, as she took a satisfied bite.
