After Yan Luo knocked the wooden sword out of her hand with a single sword strike, it was clear that Qin Jinwen had lost this sparring match. She smiled as she looked at Yan Luo's relaxed expression.
"You're quite something, kid. It's been years since I last saw you, and you've already surpassed me."
Qin Jinwen smiled and put his arm around Yanluo's neck, patting his head for a while. Yanluo chuckled and said, "Only by becoming stronger can I protect everyone."
"I didn't realize you were so perceptive, little one." Qin Jinwen became more and more addicted to stroking Yanluo's head. Half of Yanluo's face was pressed against Qin Jinwen's softness, making the young man a little shy. He quickly stopped Qin Jinwen's actions.
Qin Jinwen realized that his actions were too intimate and inappropriate, and laughed awkwardly a few times.
"Sorry, Xiao Luo, you know me, I'm usually very easygoing."
"I understand, Sister Wen."
After the little incident, today's training came to an end. Yan Luo went to Chu Hang's house next door. Chu's father ladled out the sweet potato porridge that had been cooked in a pressure cooker to cool down, and also took out two dried radishes from a glass jar.
"Xiao Luo, how about sweet potato porridge with dried radish for breakfast?" Father Chu glanced at Yan Luo as she walked into the kitchen.
"Okay, Uncle, it's been a long time since I've had sweet potato porridge with dried radish."
Yanluo moved closer to Chu's father and watched as the middle-aged man deftly sliced a whole strip of dried radish into small pieces.
Thinking that the dishes wouldn't be enough for everyone, Mr. Chu took out some eggs from the refrigerator, intending to make more side dishes so that the children wouldn't go hungry.
Today is February 1st, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Yanluo led Su Qing by the hand to the Su family home in Lancheng. In her other hand, she carried some gifts prepared by her aunt, who said that the first visit to the bride's family home had to be formal.
They were supposed to come yesterday, but Su Tian and Zhang Qian only come back once a year, and there are many relatives to entertain, so today there is still a steady stream of relatives coming to pay their respects.
Su Tian then planned to let Yan Luo, that brat, show his face in front of his relatives, and also to tell them that his daughter had an excellent boyfriend, so they wouldn't always try to introduce his daughter to those so-called young talents.
Yan Luo was already handsome, and with Su Qing's styling, he even began to resemble a human. Su Tian was quite satisfied with the brat and didn't want to embarrass him, so he took him around to show off to all the relatives. Su Qing and Zhang Qian watched the father and son laughing non-stop.
By the time Yanluo saw off all the relatives, she was completely exhausted. She had never been so tired before. The long chatter of aunts and uncles made her realize the advantage of having fewer relatives.
Yanluo leaned on Su Qing's shoulder, looking completely drained. Su Qing was dignified and seemed to have enjoyed his debate with the scholars. Seeing his daughter being leaned on by this brat, he instinctively stepped forward to separate the two.
But he was glared at by his beautiful wife, and he obediently sat down next to her.
My mother-in-law looks stunning today. She's wearing a purple cheongsam that exudes elegance, with a luxurious fur shawl draped over her shoulders. Her face is lightly made up, perfectly showcasing her "round and radiant" beauty.
Zhang Qian smiled at her daughter and son-in-law, and said to Yan Luo, "Good son-in-law, your father and I will visit your aunt tonight. She brought so many nice things, I have to thank her properly."
Xuanyuan Qiongxia gave her something truly valuable: a legendary prescription from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, along with the corresponding medicinal herbs. Zhang Qian was completely captivated when she saw it.
Only middle-aged beauties can understand middle-aged beauties, and only middle-aged men can understand middle-aged men.
Yan Luo nodded.
"Then Mom and Dad will come over for dinner tonight. My good brother is a great cook, you two should try his cooking."
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Okay, your dad and I will go over later."
Yanluo led Su Qing away from the Su family and they arrived at the old spot at Changqing School, the corner of the stairs on the fourth floor, which was the place Su Qing wanted to come to.
Su Qing gripped the railing and looked down at the empty space below. She seemed to see herself chasing and playing with Yan Luo and her friends. Yan Luo pulled her into his arms.
“Ayan.”
"Hmm?" Yan Luo lowered his head and met Su Qing's beautiful almond eyes. He saw in Su Qing's eyes a fullness of love and tenderness for him.
Su Qing tiptoed and kissed Yan Luo, then said with a smile, "I feel like the happiest person in the world."
"It's so wonderful to be with Ayan."
Yan Luo chuckled, lowered her head and kissed Su Qing, hugged the girl tightly, and whispered in Su Qing's ear, "We will be happy forever."
"I love you, my wife."
"I love you too."
Chi Miaomiao's thoughts have been a bit chaotic these past two days. On the night of the second day of junior high, when she was being intimate with Yan Luo, she noticed a faint pink hickey on Yan Luo's collarbone. At the time, she didn't think much of it.
Afterwards, Chi Miaomiao thought about it again. Based on her understanding of her sisters, Su Qing would plant the strawberries in obvious places, while Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci preferred to bite them and didn't like planting them.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chi Miaomiao and Su Qing didn't get close to Yan Luo much. Combined with the bright hickey on Yan Luo's neck when they came to Yi'an last time, although Su Qing interrupted them and they didn't pay attention to it at the time, it's now terrifying to think about.
Chi Miaomiao's mind was in turmoil. She thought about how intimate Yan Luo was with the girls, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
But it seems there's no problem. No matter who it is, it has nothing to do with Yanluo. She can do whatever she wants. But if it really happens and they keep it a secret, Chi Miaomiao can't accept it.
The dinner table was even more lively.
Su Tian and Zhang Qian were invited to dinner. Su Tian chatted very congenially with Chu's father and Zhang Shuimu, all about the hardships of middle-aged men. Zhang Qian also chatted non-stop with Chu's mother and Xuan Yuanqiongxia. The three middle-aged beauties huddled together and spoke very quietly.
Yan Luo and Tu Keke, along with several other cultivators, heard it all clearly, and even the usually bold Qin Jinwen blushed.
Chi Miaomiao would never have missed such an interesting chat, but at this moment she was still thinking about the hickey on Yan Luo's collarbone, so she didn't seem very interested.
Yanluo sat beside her, watching the girl eat silently, assuming she was engrossed in the conversation, so she didn't pay much attention. But seeing that Chi Miaomiao only ate rice and didn't pick up any other dishes, Yanluo became a little worried and put some meat into her bowl.
He leaned close to Chi Miaomiao's ear and whispered, "Miaomiao, what's wrong?"
Pulled from her thoughts, Chi Miaomiao quickly shook her head and said, "Me? I'm fine, hahaha..."
Chi Miaomiao's behavior was obviously strange, but Yan Luo didn't press her for details, thinking she would ask her about it after dinner.
After dinner, Yanluo and Chi Miaomiao washed the dishes in Chu Hang's large kitchen, and Yanluo took the opportunity to ask Chi Miaomiao questions again.
"Miaomiao, what happened to you while we were eating?"
Chi Miaomiao stopped humming and turned to look at Yan Luo.
"Brother, is there something you're hiding from us?" Chi Miaomiao asked, scrutinizing Yan Luo as if she desperately wanted an answer.
