Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, and miraculously, much has changed, yet it seems that nothing has changed at all. The once naive girl has grown into a mature woman, and the infant has become an excellent second-grade student.
The entrance to Qingning City Experimental Primary School was bustling with activity, as many parents stood, rode bicycles, or walked, anxiously waiting for their children to be dismissed from school.
The dark iron station gates blocked the restless bodies of the parents, but could not hide their burning gazes. The parents huddled together, excitedly discussing their own children, making their children the focus of their conversation. The rather chilly early spring season was somehow stirred up with a touch of summer's fervor.
Logically speaking, the school gate should be a place where people gather. Not to mention parents, even the vendors coming and going treat it as a hot spot for doing business.
Strangely, a small area formed a vacuum zone. There stood a woman with delicate and bright features, a curvaceous figure, wearing a simple black dress. The pure black color made her skin appear even whiter, and the long skirt reached her ankles, adorned with beautiful black sandals.
She stood there quietly, her head slightly lowered, casually fiddling with her slender index finger, like a beautiful painting. However, the aura around her was completely at odds with her bright appearance, carrying an indescribable coldness and fear that made people afraid to approach her.
She was undoubtedly a great beauty; her figure, temperament, and appearance all met the current men's pursuit of women. However, her temperament carried a coldness and fear that made people feel a sense of danger from the bottom of their hearts.
Unfazed by the fearful or experienced stares of those around him, he simply played with his soft, white palm with boredom. If you looked closely, you would see a small, round, and rather cute white insect in his palm, unlike the ugly insects of ordinary times.
Just then, laughter and chatter filled the campus. Wuyou pointed at the little bug in her hand, and the bug shook its round head before disappearing in a flash.
A group of children in blue school uniforms walked out of the school gate in an orderly line. A cute little boy walked out with his short legs, his watermelon-shaped haircut fluttering in the wind. He strolled out of the school gate with an air of nonchalance, his big round eyes scanning back and forth in the crowd. When he saw Wuyou, his eyes lit up and he ran over to her.
"Mom..." Like a little cannonball, Shi Yun Shen rushed over, his eyes sparkling with starlight, filled with affection and joy. He stretched out his chubby little hands and hugged Wu You's leg tightly, acting cute and spoiled.
Wuyou reached out and ruffled Shi Yunshen's watermelon-shaped head, making it messy like a little bird's nest. But Shi Yunshen didn't seem angry at all. Instead, his eyes sparkled as he reached out his chubby little hand to Wuyou.
"Mommy, hug me..." Seeing her son's adorable appearance, Wuyou pouted and complained, but still pinched his chubby little arm and hugged him in her arms.
Those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but sigh, "So young and already a mother? She looks more like the older sister." Only such a beautiful mother could give birth to such beautiful daughters and sons.
"Mommy, where's Xiaobai?" Shi Yunshen looked at Wuyou, reached out his chubby little hand to pat Wuyou's fair cheek, tilted his head, and looked puzzled.
"Xiaobai?" Wuyou raised an eyebrow, shook her head, and looked at her son with a blank expression. Their eyes met, and she looked at him with seriousness.
Shi Yunshen pouted, looking a little aggrieved. He tugged at his backpack, his big eyes darting around, and declared with unwavering conviction, "Mom is lying! Xiaobai is definitely on you. He's your natal spirit Gu, so you must be carrying him with you."
Wow... this child has improved a lot! He used to believe everything he was told, but now he can use his own brain. That's good, a positive sign.
“Mom didn’t say anything, just two words, ‘Little White.’ My little darling was very clever this time, this is Mom’s reward.” As she spoke, Wuyou smiled and leaned closer to Shi Yunshen, kissing his fair cheek.
The delicate scent of bamboo mixed with the aroma of herbs created a unique fragrance. The soft touch on his face made his cheeks blush. He covered his chubby face with his little hands and swung his legs back and forth, showing his joyful mood.
"Then find out where Xiaobai is yourself!" Wuyou said, quickening his pace to go home. Xiaobai was his natal spirit Gu, nurtured using the most traditional and refined methods. It had also consumed many of his rare and precious herbs, making it quite powerful. It could change its form and disguise itself to hide in a certain place. If it weren't for their blood pact, even he probably wouldn't have been able to find Xiaobai's location.
Shi Yun Shen truly lives up to his reputation as a man who mastered Gu techniques to their fullest extent in his previous life; he has demonstrated profound talent in Gu techniques at a young age.
Wuyou felt that if Xiaobai hadn't been trained by him, he would probably have preferred to sign a blood pact with his adopted son.
Five years ago, when Shi Yunshen was about to start kindergarten, Wuyou moved his family to Qingning City. Qingning City has convenient transportation and is not far from the deep mountains of Miao territory. He chose this place for the sake of his child's education and living standards.
Wuyou's home is in a garden community with a beautiful environment and fresh air. As soon as she opened the door, Wuyou was stunned by the scene in front of her, while Shi Yunshen quickly got out of Wuyou's arms and rushed into Liang Baichuan's arms.
“Dad…” Upon hearing this clear voice, Liang Baichuan smiled, wiping away the worry and sadness on his face. He immediately hugged his son in his arms. Although he was not his biological son, in his eyes, Shi Yunshen was his own son.
"Baichuan, who are these people..." Wuyou silently closed the door, looking at the two burly men in black in front of her with a wary gaze.
"They were sent by my men to take me back." Liang Baichuan stiffened, lowered his eyelids slightly, avoiding Wuyou's eyes, his voice muffled with a hint of displeasure. Then, he gave a wink to the people behind him, who immediately left.
"..." Wuyou was silent for a few seconds after hearing this. "Then you should go back!" After saying that, she reached out to take Shi Yunshen.
Liang Baichuan dodged to the side, his eyes darkening. "Wuyou, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Say something? What's there to say?" Wuyou blinked, somewhat puzzled.
Liang Baichuan noticed the confusion in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
They had been together for eight years, and he had grown from a young man in his twenties into a mature man in his thirties, yet his feelings for the woman before him remained unchanged. He knew perfectly well that she loved him, but she couldn't sense any of his feelings at all.
"Do you have something to say?" Seeing the other person's expression, Wuyou couldn't help but reach out and pat the other person's shoulder. After all, they had been together for eight years, and the other person had always been gentle and considerate to him. He couldn't possibly be indifferent to the other person's feelings.
"It's nothing." Looking at Wuyou's concerned expression, Liang Baichuan felt a little frustrated. In the end, he shook his head. He would wait until she was truly interested before saying anything; it would be useless to say anything now.
