Qing Mo was, after all, still a very busy person.
After the five golden days passed, she was like a busy bee, fluttering her wings and diving back into the endless sea of work.
Lin Yu took some time to go home and check on his wife and child.
After staying for a brief night.
He left again, boarding a plane to City H.
As soon as the plane landed, before he even unbuckled his seatbelt.
Lin Yu sighed with a heart full of worry.
Damn it.
What am I supposed to do?
Lin Yu was feeling quite distressed.
Coming to accompany Xia Muzhu this time...
Or rather, every time he came to accompany Xia Muzhu.
Lin Yu always felt a nerve-wracking sensation, as if someone had a knife to his neck.
Actually, Xia Muzhu herself was fine; she already knew everything she should and shouldn't know.
And she had accepted it all.
The crux of the problem was Xia Yueshan.
Lin Yu was truly at his wit's end.
In fact, up until now, Xia Yueshan still didn't know about Su Yuyao.
He still thought his playboy brother-in-law was merely two-timing... well, three-timing.
Completely unaware that Lin Yu had taken on yet another little sailboat and had even earned the title of a father.
Lin Yu didn't even dare to imagine what kind of look Xia Yueshan would give him once he learned the truth about all this.
Ummm...
Perhaps that would actually be a good thing.
At least that way, he'd only be giving him looks, not using a knife!
Worried, Lin Yu rubbed the space between his eyebrows again.
Damn it.
If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided.
I'll just cross that bridge when I come to it and keep it a secret for as long as I can.
Unbuckling his seatbelt, Lin Yu stood up, blended into the crowd, and left with everyone else.
Arriving at the airport's waiting hall.
Lin Yu scanned the area and quickly spotted Xia Muzhu and Xia Yueshan, who had come to pick him up.
Having not seen him for a while, that kid Xia Yueshan seemed to have grown taller and sturdier.
Standing next to his sister, he was already almost a head taller than her.
This kid was currently in his second year of high school.
Going through puberty, his height was shooting up like a green onion, growing incredibly fast.
Nowadays, when Xia Yueshan asked about martial arts secrets on his phone, Lin Yu hardly dared to teach him anymore.
He was terrified that the old saying about the student learning the skills and beating the master to death would come true for him.
As for Xia Muzhu.
She was the same as always.
Unchanged.
Lin Yu still remembered that from the time he first met her in his senior year of high school, she seemed exactly as she was now.
Four years had passed, and time seemed exceptionally lenient with her, leaving none of the marks on her body that all women despise.
This might also have to do with her consistent yoga practice over the years.
If he really had to pinpoint a change in her over these years.
Then Lin Yu felt it would be her aura.
Four years ago.
She hadn't experienced anything yet, but her wife material vibe was already very strong.
But back then, she was ultimately just looking the part.
Lacking any real experience, she was slightly green, like a glass of watered-down milk.
It looked fine from a distance.
But upon drinking it, both the aroma and the taste fell somewhat short of real milk.
But today, four years later.
After experiencing everything an adult woman should experience, she had already undergone a qualitative change.
Not from a glass of watered-down milk into a glass of real milk.
But directly transforming from a glass of watered-down milk into a block of cheese.
A premium block of cheese whose rich, intoxicating aroma could be smelled without even cutting it open!
Xia Muzhu was currently standing beside Xia Yueshan, looking over with a gentle gaze.
Her azure eyes held joy, as well as the happiness of a long-awaited reunion.
But all these emotions were roughly tucked away into her azure eyes, wrapped within her reserved gentleness.
She stood there quietly watching him, the love rippling in her eyes like a pool of warm spring water.
It wouldn't hurt you.
It wouldn't force you.
Nor would it cling to you.
She would only wait there quietly.
Waiting for the moment you walked toward her, she would envelop you in her gentle and tolerant love, washing away your exhaustion, and creating a small home for you where you could completely relax.
A small home where living felt as comfortable and free as soaking in a hot spring.
Looking at Xia Muzhu, Lin Yu's brows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth naturally curled into a smile.
Stepping up to Xia Muzhu, Lin Yu opened his arms and gave her a big bear hug.
At the same time, Lin Yu played a little mischievous trick.
He pressed his chest slightly harder against Xia Muzhu's naturally gifted softness.
Lin Yu did it covertly; in the eyes of bystanders, it was just a passionate embrace.
But Xia Muzhu, being the one involved, felt Lin Yu's little move loud and clear.
After releasing Lin Yu, a faint trace of reproach appeared in her azure eyes.
As if blaming Lin Yu for being a bit inappropriate for the occasion.
However, this insignificant hint of reproach, mixed with the much richer shyness, joy, and gentleness in her eyes, looked more like a flirtatious pout.
Xia Muzhu's pouty little expression made Lin Yu feel restless with desire.
If Xia Yueshan hadn't been right next to them, Lin Yu would have wanted to take it a step further and really tease her.
But unfortunately.
Xia Yueshan, this giant third wheel, ultimately lacked any situational awareness.
He stood to the side, looking at the two of them with a plain expression.
Without the slightest awareness to give them some privacy!
Lin Yu turned his head to look at the giant third wheel, Xia Yueshan.
After looking him up and down, Lin Yu asked:
Have you found a girlfriend at school yet?
Lin Yu didn't ask this question out of a sudden brain cramp.
Facts proved it.
Genetics were a real thing.
Xia Muzhu was very beautiful, so naturally, Xia Yueshan's looks weren't bad either.
Even though this kid was incredibly goofy when he was little, acting like a complete idiot, after growing up, his good looks were truly exceptional.
He felt like he could rival some minor celebrities.
Lin Yu always felt that with a face like his, he should be the type of person at school who was surrounded by admirers, with a huge flock of pursuers.
It was highly unlikely he hadn't dated anyone.
Nope.
Xia Yueshan's answer exceeded Lin Yu's expectations.
Why haven't you?
Seeing that Xia Yueshan's expression didn't look like he was lying, Lin Yu asked curiously.
Just haven't, that's all.
The girls at school are too ordinary; none of them are good enough for me.
Xia Yueshan said with a highly punchable expression.
The funny thing was, deep down, Xia Yueshan truly thought exactly that.
He was the chosen one!
His future girlfriend was bound to be someone extraordinary too.
He was still waiting for her to crash into his world and kick off a series of passionate and dangerous adventures!
How could he settle for those ordinary, vulgar girls?
