Chao Juan sat opposite him, staring at him with his chin in his hand.
Chao Lingxi felt guilty and uneasy. He looked at his daughter, who was wearing a men's suit and trousers. A few minutes ago, she decided not to go home and stay in the guest room tonight.
And because he was an insider, in order to increase the time, I changed my gender in front of him without hesitation.
From a handsome guy of nearly 1.9 meters tall to a beautiful woman of 1.69 meters tall.
The visual impact is huge.
It was the first time that Chao Lingxi saw this look. He leaned back in panic. Chao Juan narrowed his eyes and looked at him unhappily: "What's wrong?"
He stammered to Lingxi: "No, nothing."
Chao Juan: “Haha.”
The pretty daughter looked at him with a cold face and folded her arms.
She was a very pretty, lovely, charming little lady, with long, shiny black hair, slightly curled at the ends, which draped over her loose suit.
The pants must be quite long, because he saw her bend down impatiently to pin up her trouser legs, and then pull up her trousers uninhibitedly before sitting on the chair.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Lingxi whispered, "You? Why are you here today?"
He placed the doll bouquet on the table, and the little animals all watched the humans move and talk.
"Why, I can't come?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"What do you mean?"
“…”
Chao Lingxi choked and asked in a low voice: "Have you eaten yet?"
"not yet."
"Then I'll cook for you."
Chao Juan watched him walk to the kitchen in silence. A man who was almost 1.9 meters tall, was preparing soup. His originally pale and melancholy face became lively for a while because of cooking.
Open the refrigerator, get a chopping board, and wash the vegetables.
He stored a lot of fresh ingredients in the refrigerator, but Chao Lingxi himself didn’t really need to eat. He was just always prepared for someone to come to his house - you? Look, isn’t he waiting for it?
Chao Lingxi could feel a pair of eyes behind him watching him do things. He felt as if there were thorns in his back and felt a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably happy.
While he was cooking, he heard Chao Juan say, "Lingxi, you? Don't you have anything to say to me?"
It was a calm tone, without any urging, just an ordinary question.
Chao Lingxi's hand holding the kitchen knife almost chopped it off.
"..." After a moment, he didn't turn around, but asked in a low voice: "What do you want to know?"
"About your secret, where do you come from."
"And my background. I am your child, so who is my mother?"
He sighed silently towards Lingxi.
He chopped the meat and washed the vegetables carefully, and told her: "Eat first, and I'll tell you after dinner."
==
Chao Lingxi’s cooking skills are really good.
When Yan Yongwang was eating, according to his wishes, he did not mention anything at the dinner table, but just focused on commenting on his dishes today.
"Stir-fried pork with seaweed is delicious."
"Fish soup, too? Not bad."
There were only three or four home-cooked dishes, and it took dozens of minutes to prepare them. Chao Lingxi cooked very quickly, and didn't leave the diners waiting hungry.
Chao Lingxi looked at his daughter, squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and said that the food he cooked was good.
Chao Lingxi: Happy.
After the overflowing happiness, there was a subtle fear. The meal would only take a few dozen minutes at most...which meant that in an hour, he would face Chao Juan and tell her the secret she wanted to know.
As for himself...
Chao Lingxi hesitated for a moment, and during the break, said that he wanted to go to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, he muttered in a low voice, organizing his words, trying to use the most concise words to describe himself.
As they spoke, they began to use languages that were not of this world.
Yan Yongwang waited for a long time, but Chao Lingxi still hadn't come out of the bathroom. He frowned, got up from the dining table, passed by the bathroom, and heard some bird language chattering inside.
The rhythm is wonderful and very regular.
"What are you talking about?"
The sound inside suddenly stopped.
"No, nothing." He changed to Chinese and replied to Lingxi in a guilty voice, "You? Are you full?"
His daughter's voice was frosty. He listened to Chao Juan's cold words: "I thought you? Something happened, so I came to see you."
"It's fine."
Chao Lingxi didn't want to keep Chao Juan waiting for long, so he washed his face and came out. He looked clean except for water droplets on his face and the hair on his snow-white forehead was damp, making him look wilted, like a small animal that had been caught in the rain.
Eat enough and have enough food.
Finally, it was time for the part that Yan Yongwang was most looking forward to.
He sat on the sofa, cross-legged, with his long curly hair draped over his shoulders. He found it troublesome and took out a pink hair band - it was strange that Chao Lingxi's house actually had something for girls. It was Chao Lingxi who saw that he was troubled by his hair and took it out of the drawer and gave it to him.
Large intestine hair band, a hair accessory that has become extremely popular recently, and a super internet celebrity style.
Chao Lingxi looked at Chao Juan doing his hair in an unskilled way, and for a moment he was ready to give it a try, like a fly rubbing its hands together: "How about I help you? "
He looked at Juan suspiciously, "You? Can you do it?"
Chao Lingxi: A man can’t say no!
He nodded wildly: "Of course I can!"
So Yan Yongwang let go of his hand, threw the pink hairband into his arms, turned his back and said, "Come on."
Chao Lingxi was really good at it. Yan Yongwang touched his hair, which was carefully groomed and even had a clump of hair, and took out his phone, which was in selfie mode.
In the camera, a woman with a bun on her head is staring at the camera with an expressionless face.
He turned off the phone with a snap: "Not bad."
Chao Lingxi was praised and felt a little embarrassed. "I saw a little girl on the street with this hairstyle before. It looked really good."
"Then I asked the little girl where she bought the hair tie and how to tie it up."
He wanted to say more, but looking at Yan Yongwang's face, he knew that he had been waiting for the secret for a long time, so he slowly stopped talking.
"Okay, let's talk about me and you."
Yan Yongwang: “Yeah.” He picked up a small pillow from the sofa and held it in his arms.
He was still wearing a suit. Men's clothes were much too loose on this female body.
The shirt was also loose. After he arrived at Chao Lingxi's house, he closed the balcony window, and the heating was turned on again, making the whole room warm.
So he unbuttoned his suit, and the collar of his shirt was too big, so he almost couldn't hold it, so he pulled it back a few times to cover his neck tightly. In short, there was no big problem from the front, and there was no big problem from the back either.
Only Yan Yongwang himself knew that under his suit, his shirt and back exposed most of his shoulder skin.
"First of all, I'm a—"
"You? You Xiao."
Just before Chao Lingxi was about to tell him his identity, Yan Yongwang suddenly said this.
"You? Guessed it?" Chao Lingxi was stunned, then smiled helplessly, "You? Are so smart."
"..." Yan Yongwang had no expression on his face: "I'm not stupid."
"Your name is the same as the character in the book, with an unpredictable origin, and even a little bit unlike human..." Even when "The Ruthless Way" was mentioned, he had such a surprising reaction.
With these premises, it is normal for him to associate Chao Lingxi with You Xiao from "The Ruthless Way".
Before this, because Chao Lingxi did not look like the "You Xiao" described in the article, although he had this thought, Yan Yongwang did not seriously question it.
Only after knowing each other for a while, when he felt the time was right and he was able to accept the possible existence of the secret, did he tell him that there was a novel called "The Ruthless Way" in this world.
And the reaction to Lingxi...
He had already been told the answer.
He came here this time just to get a more accurate and affirmative answer from the person involved.
"Yes, I am You Xiao."
Chao Lingxi looked at her. The only thing similar to his on that face was a bit beautiful. She had a pair of brown-grey eyes, which were completely different from his dark black.
She is more like...
He calmly interrupted his own associations and said, "My life experience is exactly the same as what is written in the book."
In other words, there is no need to ask about a lot of information about "You Xiao".
Yan Yongwang: "You? How did you come to this world?"
"Time travel?" His daughter asked him curiously with a thoughtful look on her face, "Is it like in many movie plots... Speaking of which, can I also travel to another world?"
"Or, from the beginning, I shouldn't be a human in this world?" She is too smart. Chao Lingxi thought silently, "After all, being able to change from male to female like me... doesn't seem very scientific."
There were too many questions, so Chao Lingxi chose to answer like this: "You? Are my child, so..."
"You? You're not from this world."
"As for you? Can you go to another world..." Chao Lingxi did not give a specific answer to this question. He just scratched the pillow silently and said, "If I don't want you to go back, then go back."
Yan Yongwang? Not bothered by this question, he shrugged and waited for him to continue speaking.
It had been snowing all day long. It stopped a little while they were eating, but now it has started again.
The heavy snow looked like cotton that God had plucked off and was dropping it in clumps.
I could vaguely hear the excited voices of children outside watching the snow.
"And I came to this world to protect you."
He smiled at Lingxi and looked at her, his voice soft, as if he was telling a fairy tale: "Because you are here, I came here."
“…”
Yan Yongwang was struck by the emotion in his words, and for a moment, he felt at a loss.
He only wrote a dozen words, but his emotions were rich and moving.
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Yongwang with a bit of trouble, caution, and melancholy.
"You have read my life story in books," said Chao Lingxi, or in other words, You Xiao in "The Ruthless Way." "Do you think I am a bad person?"
Yan Yongwang: ...
He scratched his arm silently, feeling that this question was a little difficult to answer.
But he still said from the heart: "I think you in the story are a bit stupid."
Chao Lingxi was struck by this adjective and felt dizzy: "Woo woo."
"But after getting along with you, I feel you're not bad," Yan Yongwang patted his shoulder and said very impartially and calmly, "You're not as crazy as the books say."
Towards Lingxi: "Really?"
Yan Yongwang frowned, thinking that he was doubting his vision: "What else?"
"Why should I lie to make you happy?"
Chao Lingxi was so moved that she almost cried.
While he was not paying attention, Yan Yongwang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that after hearing this, he should be happier.
He sincerely hoped that he would be in a better mood - and what he said was indeed true.
Chao Lingxi admitted that he was You Xiao in "The Ruthless Road" and asked him if he thought he was a bad person.
To be fair, You Xiao in the book would not be the kind of character Yan Yongwang likes, so he would tell him that his favorite character is the protagonist.
But Chao Lingxi, who he has been with until now, is completely different from what is written in the book.
Yan Yongwang completely separated You Xiao and Chao Lingxi. Even if Chao Lingxi was once You Xiao, so what? The Chao Lingxi in front of him was just a man who was related to him and had a stupid personality.
He quite likes him.
In every sense, Yan Yongwang didn't dislike Chao Lingxi.
To Lingxi: "Then do you like me?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Chao Lingxi felt Chao Juan staring at him with a very cold look: "I don't like you."
Chao Lingxi: “…” He buried his face with the pillow.
"But? Not annoying at all."
Chao Lingxi raised her head from the pillow with red eyes: "What about in the future? Will you like me more?"
His lovely baby girl glared at him with disdain: "You? A grown man? Why do you have to let others like you!"
To Lingxi weakly: "Because no one likes me."
Cute girl: "Okay, I like it, but you... please don't cry - my God, you... are thousands of years old, why are your tear glands still so developed?" After confirming that he was You Xiao, Yan Yongwang quickly calculated Chao Lingxi's age: this is a very old man. Although he has a very young face, he is actually many years old.
He must be thousands of years old! And yet he still has red eyes and wants people to like him!
Yan Yongwang was so disgusted that he threw a tissue to him stiffly and said with a wooden face: "Can you wipe your tears and speak normally?"
Chao Lingxi covered her face with a tissue: "Woo woo, I'm not that old, this year I'm only..."
He mumbled something in a language that Yan Yongwang couldn't understand.
Yan Yongwang: “???”
He wiped away his tears and looked at the girl: "Anyway, I'm not that old."
"Also, men can cry, too!"
Yan Yong laughed sneerfully: "I won't shed tears."
Chao Lingxi: "Girls shouldn't cry - if anyone makes you cry, Dad will beat him up."
Yan Yongwang: “…” He just realized that his current gender is female. When he said that he would not shed tears in front of Chao Lingxi, who was a bit obsessed with girls, he got such words.
He didn't say much either.
Then he asked, "Okay, continue to tell me your secrets honestly."
He straightened his hands and said to Lingxi, "You ask, I answer."
Very well behaved.
Yan Yongwang: "You? Are you here to protect me? Why are you here to protect me?"
Chao Lingxi: "Because... I worked so hard to have you?, but someone snatched you away..."
As she spoke, she felt very sad, with sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to cry again, "...the bad guys took you away, and I spent a lot of energy to come to this world to find you."
"Bad guy?"
"Yes, the bad guy who brought you into this world."
"Will it appear again?"
"I tried not to let him hurt you, so I came to you--"
"Okay, so, where are my parents?"
"I asked them to take care of you," Chao Lingxi said fluently and sincerely, "I paid them!"
"…Now, where are they?"
This was what Yan Yongwang wanted to know the most. He concealed many of his emotions and pretended not to care. He leaned back on the sofa cushion, hugged the pillow in his arms, and asked this question lightly.
Chao Lingxi replied: "Still alive."
A tense nerve finally relaxed at this moment. Yan Yongwang didn't know if his expression gave anything away. He just felt an unbearable emotion rolling up from his throat, almost making him cry instantly.
He held back.
And he said to Chao Lingxi: "Will I have a chance to see them again after that?"
Chao Lingxi told him: "Of course."
Smiling at Lingxi, he looked cold and noble. When he smiled gently, the light in his eyes was very gentle, "They also miss you too."
"It's just that, due to many reasons..." Chao Lingxi lowered his eyelashes, hiding the coldness at that moment, "They have to leave this world first."
The snow is falling heavily.
Thick and crowded, piled on top of the buildings.
Looking down from a high place, everything is white as far as the eye can see.
Yan Yongwang didn't ask any more questions.
Instead, he asked Lingxi again: "You? Want to know who your? mother is?"
Yan Yongwang hugged the pillow and looked at him lazily. He felt much better than before and was even too lazy to ask further. "You? Are you willing to tell me?"
She said to Lingxi, "Your mother is a bad woman. After she had you, she left us both behind."
He rubbed his fingers behind the pillow, and it was obvious that saying this was a little difficult for him.
"You? Do you know Hua Rongying from Wuqing Dao?"
Yan Yongwang felt that he was closer to the secret.
He straightened his back and looked into Chao Lingxi's eyes. After a while, he heard him say, "She is your mother."
Yan Yongwang: “…”
He was completely stunned.
"etc……"
Yan Yongwang's thoughts, which had been slightly solidified by the heating, suddenly became active again. He stopped Chao Lingxi from continuing to speak and tried to clear his thoughts.
Talking and stroking.
"You? Are you You Xiao, and my mother is Hua Rongying?"
"Um."
"Then Yan Chi, Shi Xianyuan, my parents are..."
"Your? favorite? protagonist." Chao Lingxi said sourly, feeling a little jealous - no, it should be said, very, very jealous.
Yan Yongwang actually already had a 70% guess about his parents, but because the names didn't match and words couldn't show the picture as clearly as in movies and TV dramas, even though "The Ruthless Road" described the handsomeness of "Ding Xuance" and the cuteness of "Lin Linyue", he couldn't translate them into reality very well.
Words are different from pictures. The "handsome" in words may look different in reality.
Just as he can be praised as "handsome", Shen He can also be called "handsome".
But in fact, there are huge differences in their facial styles.
Yan Yongwang repeated: "My father's name is Ding Xuance, and my mother's name is Lin Linyue?"
Thinking about it this way, it seems that if the characters in the novel were put into reality, their personalities would be very similar. They are many times more similar to Yu Xiao and Chao Lingxi.
To Lingxi: “Yeah.”
After a while, seeing that he still looked incredulous, she pushed his shoulder in a strange tone, "Why, it's so easy for you to accept that I'm You Xiao, but it's so hard to accept that they're your parents?"
Yan Yongwang: “No…”
He suddenly realized and remembered why he liked Ding Xuance and Lin Linyue the most when he was reading "The Ruthless Way".
I'm even excited for the development of their relationship, just like an outsider shipping a couple. When I see their sweet progress, I can't help but be happy with them.
As for how his biological father and mother developed and how they gave birth to him, Yan Yongwang completely ignored it for a moment and only said regretfully: "So that's how it is."
"Hmm?" Chao Lingxi asked with a puzzled tone, "What do you mean, so that's the case?"
Yan Yongwang had no intention of sharing it with him.
After a while, I asked him, "You said Hua Rongying is my mother."
"Are you guys in love? Together?"
“But you two… aren’t you…” the fellow practitioner said mercilessly?
Yan Yong thought to himself, could it be that they fell in love and got together because they share the same ideals?
To Lingxi: "We're not in a relationship!"
"So that's me who was there by accident?"
Yan Yongwang felt that he had come up with the answer, because Chao Lingxi's expression at the moment was very difficult to describe, the kind that wanted to refute, but couldn't.
What he said was indeed right, he was born "accidentally".
Knowing the answer, Yan Yongwang had no intention of exploring it further.
The purpose of his visit this time was very simple, to inquire about Chao Lingxi's origins and also to ask about his own life experience.
As for "Yan Chi" and "Shi Xianyuan", they were the painful things he kept hidden in his heart and dared not ask about.
But he finally spoke up and got some...good news.
As for himself, the so-called "not of this world" did not have much impact on him.
Since he was ten years old, he has possessed another gender, and he has a vague awareness in his mind that he is different from ordinary people.
It took him many years to accept the fact that he went from being an ordinary person to a hermaphrodite.
By now, he can accept the so-called truth calmly.
I don't think there is anything.
His life is like a seed.
When it was budding, in this world, it was really hard to imagine that he was the "son of a cultivator", or even the "son of a cultivator in the Mahayana stage".
I always feel like I'm watching a movie or a TV series, a bit fake.
So Yan Yong asked sincerely, "Come to think of it, aren't you very powerful?"
"ah?"
"Well, a cultivator in the Mahayana stage should have the power to move mountains and seas, right?" The problem with the surveillance camera at the homeless service area, as well as Chao Lingxi's travel between Country Y and the capital at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, were all explained - a cultivator from another world must have some special abilities.
"Can you please stop the snow outside?"
He whispered to Lingxi, "I was sick before, so I don't have that much ability anymore."
He was so sad to see his precious daughter stunned for a moment, and sighed with regret.
"All right."
Chao Lingxi's sadness didn't last long, because soon, he heard Chao Juan ask him with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
"You? People..."
Chao Juan hooked his finger to indicate that the cultivator was very powerful and different from ordinary people.
"Will I get sick too?"
Chao Lingxi: "Because I lost you, I was too sad, so I got sick."
He felt subtly happy for her concern, he liked her caring about him so much.
Soon, he heard Chao Juan say softly, "I'm by your side now, will you still get sick?"
To Lingxi: "No, no more."
He was very happy and said happily: "As long as you are by my side, I will always be very happy and will never, ever get sick."
The author has something to say: About the senior sister and Chao Lingxi.
This is a small spoiler about the sequel.
They were not in a relationship, both were single, and they just had a child together by coincidence.
In Chao Lingxi's words, the senior sister is a bad woman... In fact, he just feels that his conditions are not good enough (she is You Xiao, a villain, a bad guy), and the senior sister is the best (beautiful, good character, a decent person).
In comparison, he would be very worried whether the baby goslings would like their mother more.
So, while no one is around, start by smearing them!
——
Later, Yan Yan found out the truth: He is indeed a bad guy, full of nonsense and saying bad things about others.
Chao Lingxi: QAQ
Yan Yan: Forget it, a bad guy is fine too.
