Looking at Xia Yueshan's smug yet silly little appearance, Lin Yu was a bit speechless.
This Xia Yueshan.
All his growth went straight to his height and none to his brain.
He really was completely clueless about everything else.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu moved his lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't utter a single word.
Looking at Xia Yueshan's highly attractive face, Lin Yu originally wanted to adopt the attitude of an elder toward a junior and give him some life guidance.
For example, that one should be serious and devoted when it comes to love.
That he couldn't just rely on his good looks to casually mess around out there.
Wait, what?
A guy with four wives telling someone else to respect love?
Wouldn't it be absolutely ridiculous to say something like that?
Emmmmm...
Yes!
Lin Yu felt that it would be absolutely hilarious if those words came out of his own mouth.
That was why he chose to say nothing at all!
Having met up with Lin Yu, the three of them didn't linger in the airport and turned directly to head outside.
Lin Yu and Xia Muzhu, who hadn't seen each other for a while, naturally held hands and walked at a leisurely pace.
Xia Yueshan, a lone single dog, walked ahead of them with his hands in his pockets.
Every now and then, he had to stop and wait for the two slowpokes behind him.
They left the airport hall and made their way to the outdoor parking lot.
The three got into the car, and just as they were fastening their seatbelts, Lin Yu suddenly noticed that Xia Yueshan, who was sitting in the back, had leaned in close at some point.
He was sniffing the air like a dog.
What are you doing? Lin Yu asked, puzzled.
Xia Yueshan didn't answer. Instead, like a police dog, he leaned close to Lin Yu's arm, sniffed again, and then asked with a hint of uncertainty:
What is that smell on you?
Milk?
The moment the word milk came out, Lin Yu's scalp went numb.
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly remembered a joke he had seen on the internet before.
A girl said she really liked her boyfriend and that he had a natural body scent that was milky and smelled exceptionally good.
Later, the girl found out that her boyfriend actually had a two-year-old child.
Lin Yu felt like he was pretty much the exact same as that deceptive dad right now, and he was at a critical juncture of being caught red-handed!
Damn it!
He had left in such a hurry this time.
He forgot to take a shower and spray some cologne!
Lin Yu was having a bit of a breakdown.
Xia Yueshan was currently acting like a hound, sniffing around Lin Yu's body.
It was as if he wanted to sniff out some hidden truth from him.
Lin Yu panicked for a moment, his mind going blank. Unable to come up with an excuse to brush Xia Yueshan off in time, he just let the guy in the back seat stick his butt up in the air and sniff all over his arm.
Is there a smell? Xia Muzhu, who had just fastened her seatbelt, turned sideways. She leaned over, gently twitched her nose against Lin Yu, and sniffed his scent.
Quickly.
Xia Muzhu straightened up with a relieved expression and said casually:
Oh.
That's the smell of body lotion.
How could a massive, clueless straight guy like Xia Yueshan know what body lotion was?
Naturally, he didn't know what it smelled like either.
Hearing his older sister's explanation, he believed her without any suspicion. No longer curious about the sweet, milky scent on Lin Yu, he plopped back down in the back seat, took out his phone, and started playing with it.
Crisis averted.
Lin Yu covertly breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning his gaze, Lin Yu subtly glanced at Xia Muzhu beside him.
Seeing the slightly tense corners of her lips, Lin Yu also felt a bit like laughing.
Why did it feel like he and Xia Muzhu were like Mr. and Mrs. Smith from the movies?
They were actually covering for each other?
Yeah.
If what they were covering up was some state secret, rather than the little secret of him taking in yet another minor wife and having a baby, it would have been even cooler!
Back home.
Following their usual routine.
The three of them went out for a big meal together.
By the time they came out of the mutton hotpot restaurant, the sky outside had already grown dark.
Once it got dark, the cold that had been blocked out by their padded jackets gained strength, beginning to seep into their clothes bit by bit.
Lin Yu zipped his down jacket all the way to the top, shrank his neck, half-hid his hand in his sleeve, and took Xia Muzhu's hand.
Stepping out from the warm hotpot restaurant into this boundless cold, Xia Muzhu also shivered from the chill.
She hunched her shoulders and squeezed Lin Yu's hand in return.
The single dog...
Oh, wait, no.
It was Xia Yueshan.
He stood behind the two of them, shrinking his neck into the fluffy collar of his down jacket with his hands stuffed in his pockets. His eyes were locked on the hands of the two people in front of him, holding tightly together even in the freezing cold. He curled his lip, feeling a bit sour and a bit disdainful.
It was as if he were suffocating from the sour stench of love.
He even rolled his eyes.
Returning to their warm little home.
Xia Yueshan went back to his room early.
He put on a sensible I won't get in your way look.
Which made Lin Yu feel extremely gratified.
The sky outside the window had completely darkened by now.
But it was obviously still early.
Just past six o'clock.
Clearly, it wasn't quite the time for some adult activities to take place.
After eating, there wasn't much to tidy up around the house.
Xia Muzhu simply laid out a yoga mat in the living room and began her daily yoga routine, which she usually only did in the bedroom.
Sitting on the sofa, Lin Yu's gaze was drawn over subconsciously.
Watching Xia Muzhu, dressed in her yoga outfit, perform all sorts of unimaginable poses on the soft mat, Lin Yu stared so intently that his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
As he watched.
Lin Yu suddenly felt something.
Even though it was still a bit early.
It wasn't that early anymore!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
