Halfway through the movie, the light and shadow on the screen danced across Chuchu's face. Finally, she succumbed to the sleepiness and slowly closed her eyes, falling asleep. Her sleeping face was peaceful and beautiful, like a moving painting, making it impossible to look away.
Rong Lin's gaze fell gently on her face, as if time had stood still in that moment. They had spent tens of thousands of years together, weathering every storm, whether in the heavens or the human world, shoulder to shoulder, facing challenges together. Those battles side by side, the separations on the brink of life and death, every moment was deeply engraved in his heart. Could someone sleeping truly be unaware of such deep affection?
Just as Rong Lin was lost in thought, Chu Chu suddenly murmured in her sleep: "Rong Lin, are you really coming to the human world for me?"
It's already this time, and you still don't trust him?
He gently combed her messy hair, then carefully picked her up and personally carried her back to the next room without using any magic. He didn't want Chuchu to be too far away from him, even when she was sleeping.
After all, they had waited for this day for far too long—until she took the initiative to ask him to live under the same roof, something he had never dared to hope for.
He gently placed Chuchu on the bed and carefully covered her with the quilt to ensure she would not catch a cold. Then, he sat on the sofa beside the bed and continued to gaze at her peaceful and beautiful sleeping face, his heart filled with infinite tenderness and satisfaction.
During her time in the human world, Chuchu began to savor all kinds of food and experience the ups and downs of life. She felt the warmth of family and friendship, but when it came to love, she seemed to be slow to develop strong desires. This left Rong Lin feeling helpless and distressed. He knew this was because Chuchu hadn't fully developed her intelligence and her understanding of love was still in its infancy.
However, when Chuchu heard that he was interested in the souls left behind in the human world, he could no longer suppress his inner impulse and resolutely came down from the heaven to the human world. He would not let any mortal mortal taint Chuchu's purity and beauty. Even if they could not practice together, he would protect her forever.
Rong Lin knew full well that he had come to the human world for Chu Chu. This was an undeniable fact. Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the living room. He immediately stood up alertly and walked towards the living room.
The person who came was a celestial general. He knelt at Rong Lin's feet, his voice filled with urgency, "Heavenly Lord, what the Spirit Lord said has been confirmed. Many ghost messengers in the underworld have indeed regained their memories, and someone is taking action against the Hades. This person is a cultivator, skilled in forbidden techniques, and is colluding with the ghost messengers..."
Rong Lin frowned upon hearing this. He asked the general to stand up, and he sat on the sofa, calmly instructing, "Don't act rashly. Wait until Hades makes his move, and then we can assist him from behind." He knew Hades's abilities well, and he trusted him to handle the matter properly.
The general responded respectfully, but seemed to have something else to say. Rong Lin glanced at him calmly and said, "Go ahead, what else is there?"
The general hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke: "The divine seal of Jiayang Mountain is one of the magic weapons these evil spirits are fighting for. They have already begun searching for the location of Jiayang Mountain..."
Upon hearing this, Rong Lin couldn't help but rub his brows. He hadn't expected these evil spirits to be so audacious as to even covet the treasures of Jiayang Mountain. Jiayang Mountain is the intersection of the heavenly and human realms, and the treasures there are truly extraordinary. He snorted coldly, "These guys are truly crazy! They even dare to covet the treasures of Jiayang Mountain. They're simply courting death. You step aside. I'll handle this matter personally."
The general responded and turned to leave.
Rong Lin fell into deep thought. He knew that this matter was not simple.
There must be someone behind these evil spirits, and their purpose is definitely not just to steal the divine seal. He must find out the truth as soon as possible to ensure Chuchu's safety is not threatened.
For the gods, finding such a person is extremely simple, but he cannot intervene for the time being.
Chuchu was gently awakened by the sudden ringing of her phone in the soft sunlight of nine o'clock on Sunday morning. She reached out to her phone in a daze, and half asleep, she answered the call. "Hello... who is this?" Her voice still carried a hint of sleepiness.
On the other end of the phone came the gentle and familiar voice of her mother, Song Yaqing: "Chu Chu, did your mother bother you? Today is Sunday, do you want to come home for dinner?"
Chuchu blinked, and consciousness gradually returned. "I didn't wake you up. Actually, I was almost getting up. Well, I'll be home at noon."
Song Yaqing's voice was full of concern: "Then why don't you bring some classmates and friends back with you? The long vacation is coming soon, do you have any plans or intentions?"
Chu Chu thought about it, and the gentle yet slightly reserved figure of Gu Dad emerged in her mind. "Gu Dad likes quietness, so I'd better not bring the classmates over to avoid disturbing him."
Hearing this, Song Yaqing's tone was somewhat relieved: "Okay, then what do you want to eat? Mom will ask the kitchen to prepare it for you."
At the mention of food, Chu Chu immediately perked up and listed the dishes like a treasure: "Braised spareribs, braised meatballs, lotus root and yam, and a super delicious dish I recently discovered - preserved vegetable braised pork. How about it?"
Song Yaqing agreed with a smile: "Okay, Mom will remember it. Let the kitchen prepare a few more dishes with yam for you. Yam is good for your health."
Chu Chu thanked him repeatedly and hung up the phone happily. The moment she hung up the phone, she suddenly sat up from the bed. However, the next second, she suddenly realized that this was not her home, but Rong Lin's residence.
She scratched her head awkwardly, then stood up, changed into a T-shirt casually, and walked out of the room to find Rong Lin.
Rong Lin was sitting in the restaurant, slowly eating a human sandwich with a cup of warm milk. Chu Chu walked over to sit across from him, and without hesitation, she picked up a sandwich and began to nibble on it. Then, she drank the glass of milk in one gulp, then looked up at Rong Lin, who looked indifferent across from her, and said with a smile, "Is human food delicious?"
Rong Lin gently put down the cup in his hand, picked up the handkerchief and stood up. He bent down and reached out to wipe the milk stains from the corners of Chu Chu's mouth. His tone was filled with helplessness and pampering: "Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."
Chuchu chuckled and picked up the second sandwich and started to eat it. Ronglin only then slowly finished the first sandwich. He handed the milk cup to Chuchu and asked, "Do you want more?"
Chu Chu shook her head and said jokingly, "Are you going to stuff me to death?"
Rong Lin reluctantly withdrew his hand and drank the remaining milk himself. He then sighed, "The food in the human world is indeed delicious. It can make people forget their original intentions and missions, and just want to enjoy it here..."
Chu Chu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "How about I take you out for a nice meal? Oh, I almost forgot, today is the day I go home for dinner. How about this, I'll treat you next time, and I'll definitely take you to try all the delicacies in the human world!"
Hearing this, Rong Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Okay, then I'll be waiting."
