Having already used her senses to pinpoint the location of her family members, Yanluo handed a bottle of coconut water and a box of honeysuckle and pomelo juice to Bai Ningbing and Tu Yier. Yanluo then closed and put away the book that Bai Ningbing was holding.
"Alright, no reading tonight. Have something to drink and relax your eyes."
Bai Ningbing and Tu Yier, whose books had been confiscated, pouted and reluctantly accepted their drinks.
Yan Luo stroked Tu Yi'er's head and said, "Uncle will tell you a bedtime story when it's time to sleep, okay? As an exchange for not being able to read books."
Tu Yier sat on Yan Luo's lap with her drink in her mouth, sitting obediently like a porcelain doll.
"Okay!"
Bai Ningbing, who had just taken a sip of coconut water, brought the bottle to Yanluo's lips. Yanluo took a sip, and Bai Ningbing was visibly happy. She then pulled the coconut water back and sipped it slowly. If her tail could spread out, she would definitely wag it very fast.
Yanluo leaned close to Bai Ningbing's ear and whispered, "What does the fox demon sister want in exchange for not being able to read books?"
Bai Ningbing shook her head, "I'm not a child anymore, I don't need to."
"But when my sister was desperately calling me 'brother' last night, she sounded like a little kid." Yan Luo's simple words struck Bai Ningbing's fragile heart hard.
Yan Luo has a wicked sense of humor, and he always teases Bai Ningbing to the point of losing control, taking the opportunity to make some excessive little requests, which Bai Ningbing always indulges in without thinking.
The two of them had a little bit of fun together.
Bai Ningbing quietly moved her jade-like hand to Yan Luo's waist and pinched it hard. Yan Luo secretly grimaced at her, pretending to be in a lot of pain, which amused Bai Ningbing.
Tu Yier turned around in confusion upon hearing Bai Ningbing's laughter, but Yan Luo and Bai Ningbing looked at her as if nothing had happened.
What are my uncle and aunt doing?
“Nothing much, Yi’er. After Sister Puppy finishes her bath, Auntie will take you to wash up, and then you can go to bed and wait for Uncle to tell you a story, okay?” Just as Bai Ningbing was speaking, Shao Shenyun opened the bathroom door and came out.
Shang Xinci also came out of the master bedroom, holding a towel in her hand and drying her wet hair.
Yan Luo placed Tu Yi'er on Bai Ningbing's lap and said, "Baby, Uncle is going to blow-dry Baozi's and Aunt's hair. After you finish washing up, be a good girl and wait for me in the room. I will come to find you right away."
"Okay, Uncle."
As soon as Shang Xinci stepped out of the master bedroom, Yan Luo pushed her back and made her sit on the bed. As usual, Yan Luo took out a hair dryer. Even though there were more convenient ways to dry hair, everyone still used the most ordinary methods to integrate into the lives of this world.
"Want me to tell you a story?" Shang Xinci sat obediently in her loli form.
Yan Luo chuckled and nodded, repeatedly lifting Shang Xinci's hair to dry it.
"Does Baozi Girl want to hear it too? I'll tell you when we go to bed tonight."
Shang Xinci pinched Yan Luo's waist, in the same spot where Bai Ningbing had pinched her.
"I'm not a child anymore, I don't need to."
This sounds so familiar...
Yan Luo's smile widened. From the first moment he saw Shang Xinci, he felt that she and Bai Ningbing would get along very well.
The two chatted amidst the loud whirring of the hairdryer, drying Shang Xinci's hair. Yanluo then pounced on her, showering her with kisses and cuddles on the bed before finally letting her go.
After taking a shower, Chi Miaomiao went to Qin Jinwen's room. When she bought the villa, she had chosen to buy larger furniture, so there was no problem with several people sleeping in the bed.
Everyone needs their own space. Today, when she was looking at houses, she took a liking to one that was about the same size as the Fan family mansion.
It has a different style, but it's very spacious and can definitely accommodate a lot of people, even dozens more girls!
After discussing it with Bai Ningbing and the others who went to see the house together, they all felt that the place was quite good. It was also in Tianshan City and would not affect the children's studies.
Tu Yier has also made friends in Tianshan City, so buying a house in the Tianshan City villa area is undoubtedly the most suitable option.
After discussing the future development strategy for the Ghost Hunters with Captains Qin Jinwen and Li Lingzhou, Chi Miaomiao also gained a general idea of what the future holds.
Surprisingly, Zhu Qinlan didn't argue with Chi Miaomiao. Instead, she focused intently on reading a book while leaning against the bed, much like Bai Ningbing, though her feelings were different from Bai Ningbing's.
Zhu Qinlan evokes the feeling of a gentle and graceful woman from ancient times quietly reading a book, which is equally pleasing to the eye.
Chi Miaomiao also talked about moving. She said that everything should be completed next week and they could move in with their bags. Chi Miaomiao asked the three of them if they needed anything and that she could arrange for someone to prepare it.
All three said they didn't need much, didn't have high demands for quality of life, and usually lived in the Ghost Hunter Bureau's dormitory, mainly just needing a place to live.
Chi Miaomiao previously held the same view, believing that home is just a temporary residence and that there is no need for a person living alone to pursue any quality of life.
Living with people who know how to enjoy life is different; Chi Miaomiao, who moved into Yanluo's home, felt the warmth of home.
Yanluo and the children take good care of everything at home. The three little ones will take the initiative to help with housework, and Yanluo can cook a lot of delicious food. Everyone is always together and no longer alone.
It seems that the word "home" is no longer cold and impersonal; Chi Miaomiao is gradually immersing herself in it.
Chi Miaomiao shared her insights with the three of them, and Qin Jinwen and the others' eyes lit up. They had already been living at Yanluo's house for some time.
Yes, this place with inkstones has a magical power.
"So, we're going to move into our new home together, our shared home, and his home too." Chi Miaomiao smiled brightly at the three of them.
Influenced by Chi Miaomiao, the three finally relented. Qin Jinwen really didn't want anything, he just wanted a soft sofa in his room; Li Lingzhou wanted a sword rack in the yard to store his sword; and Zhu Qinlan wanted a bookshelf in her room.
Chi Miaomiao will then collect the needs of other family members.
Chi Miaomiao, who had just left the three-person room and gone up to the second floor, saw Yan Luo coming out of Tu Yier's room. She rushed into Yan Luo's arms and whispered, "Is Yier asleep?"
Yanluo nodded and said proudly, "I told stories to lull people to sleep. I not only lulled Yi'er to sleep, but I also lulled Ayun to sleep."
After telling the story, Yanluo saw a red-haired girl curled up asleep. His initial impression of this girl was that she was warm.
Beneath the fiery red maple leaves in the endless darkness, a woman with red hair, a red robe, and red eyes brought a sense of comfort and warmth to the bewildered young man.
However, Yanluo could tell from her curled-up sleeping posture that she lacked a sense of security.
The girl who brings warmth to others lacks a sense of security herself. When Yanluo saw the rabbit doll her sister made for her little niece, she decided to imitate it and make a doll for Shao Shenyun so that she could feel more secure.
Seeing Yan Luo's smug look, Chi Miaomiao laughed and punched his chest. "Alright, go take a shower. You're the only one left who hasn't showered."
