Maomao slipped into character very quickly.
A beige apron instantly appeared on her little white dress.
Lin Yu: "..."
Quite professional, huh?
It's the essential treasure garment for the kitchen!
Maomao picked up the tiny plastic kitchen utensils and said,
"Xiaoyu, don't be in a hurry. The meal will be ready soon."
"You've been busy outside all day. You must be very tired, right?"
"You can go to the bedroom and lie down and rest first. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Lin Yu cooperated extremely well and said,
"Okay, then I'll take a little nap. Call me when the meal is ready."
Maomao's lines didn't sound like what one would say to a younger brother.
Instead, they made Lin Yu think of...
A busy day~ How tiring it is~?
Please have a cup of tea~ Let me kiss you~ Let me kiss you~
In the following time,
Lin Yu became a spectator on the side.
He left the whole scene to Maomao.
Maomao was very serious in her simulation in front of the fake stove.
Washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, frying rice, washing rice, adding water, steaming rice...
She did every step very carefully.
It's just playing house, sis!
Do you have to be so serious?
You know, in more than a decade, such a virtuous and obedient wife like this would be looked down upon outside.
While others are striving hard to have a seat at the table, Maomao is going backwards and working hard to learn how to cook?
This era is really not bad...
Society is complex. It's just people who are simple.
There's really no need to be so overly serious about this kind of game.
Fifteen minutes later,
Maomao sat motionless at the table.
Lin Yu: "..."
She had been maintaining the same position since fifteen minutes ago.
The two of them were in the same space, yet they still had to pretend not to see each other.
They couldn't communicate and could only wait silently...
For the rice to be steamed!
Lin Yu really wanted to go up and ask Maomao right in the face:
Is there really a need for this?
Is there really a need!
No matter how long you wait, plastic is still plastic, right?
Can it turn into something magical?
What kind of magic?
Plastic sibling magic?
Just going through the motions would do!
Who in their right mind would play house and wait for steamed rice every day for no reason?
It seemed that Maomao noticed Lin Yu's impatience.
She looked over and asked,
"Now it's the free - communication time outside the scenario. It doesn't count as ruining the atmosphere..."
"Yu, you're really a nice person. You really know how to enjoy life."
Lin Yu: "..."
If you say Maomao is smart, she wants to play this childish house - playing game.
If you say she's silly, she can always give Lin Yu a sweet treat precisely when he's annoyed and wants to complain.
Since things had come to this point,
No matter how many thoughts of complaining Lin Yu had in his heart, it was hard to say them out loud.
Lin Yu could only soften his tone and say,
"Playing house doesn't really count as knowing how to enjoy life."
"Maybe I still have a childlike heart. It's quite interesting."
"Especially seeing you being so serious makes me not want to ruin the atmosphere."
【Ding!】
【Brilliant move! The spiritual connection between the Holy Son and the outer - sect disciple has made the outer - sect disciple fall head over heels!】
【Reward: 50 spiritual stones】
Not bad.
At least the system could give some rewards to console him, so Lin Yu didn't come away empty - handed.
Immediately afterwards,
Maomao said again,
"I used to dream of having a small castle, a small castle where time flowed very slowly."
As soon as she said this,
Lin Yu's thoughts were pulled back.
This was... the emotional Maomao was online!
Lin Yu didn't interrupt.
Instead, he quietly sat on one side, waiting for Maomao to continue.
Judging from her expression, she clearly hadn't finished speaking; she had only said half of it.
"These years living with Aunt Ruxue, I've felt that every day has passed by so quickly.
"We've spent so many years together, yet it's as if we've repeated the same few days hundreds of times.
"At that time, I thought...
"If I had a small castle where time flowed very slowly, and there were friends with different personalities living inside, and the time inside was so slow, how wonderful that would be.
"No matter how fast the pace of the outside world is, as long as I return to the castle, everything will slow down.
"It would allow me to have the time to observe every detail of life.
"Isn't this... also a very touching thing?"
Originally, Lin Yu just wanted to listen to a little girl's innermost thoughts and let Maomao talk on.
But somehow,
What she said struck a chord in Lin Yu's heart.
For Lin Yu,
Wasn't their apartment also like a "small castle" in the "worldly realm"?
Maomao was attracted to it because of her subconscious longing!
"End of the chat!"
"Xiaoyu, don't be in a hurry. The rice will be steamed in five minutes."
Lin Yu: "Okay, I'm not that hungry. Remember to steam it well... Take your time, no rush."
Maomao gave him an affirmative look: "Okay."
...
Lin Yu accompanied Maomao and played with her for quite a while.
They ate a meal together, watched TV together, and cleaned up the housework together...
Lin Yu never thought that
He could still experience the limited - time joy of childhood here.
After a series of innocent games,
Maomao asked Lin Yu contentedly,
"Yu, thank you for being willing to play with me."
"What kind of house - playing game do you want to play?"
"Boys should like playing horse - fighting games, right?"
Maomao asked curiously.
Lin Yu was actually a bit looking forward to the "horse - fighting game" she mentioned.
But he had specially built a sturdy fort. How could it be used only for such a superficial game?
Lin Yu sat up straight seriously and first asked,
"Maomao, do you know what major I'm studying at university?"
Maomao nodded:
"Of course. I've heard people talk about it many times. You're a student majoring in film directing at the film academy."
Lin Yu: "Do you know that I have summer primary - term assignments?"
Maomao nodded affirmatively again: "Yes, I know. It's photography and making a micro - movie. I heard it from Little Chi."
Lin Yu: "Do you know that I need to play a very important and challenging role?"
Maomao: "I didn't know that. So, Yu, do you want me to perform with you?"
At this point,
From Lin Yu's affirmative look, Maomao already got the answer.
If it were when she first came to the apartment, she definitely wouldn't have dared to agree to such a thing.
But in recent days, the relationship between the two of them had been getting closer and closer.
In Ying'er's room, she had even played the role of Aunt Ruxue in front of Lin Yu.
It seemed that she had already overcome the stage of being embarrassed about performing.
At that time, she had also received praise from Lin Yu.
Moreover,
Lin Yu had just accompanied her to play house!
How could she refuse at this time?
"I can play whatever role you need." Maomao readily agreed.
She didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
Lin Yu clapped his hands excitedly and said,
"Great, Maomao. Thank you so much!"
"I know that with your extensive film - watching experience, you must have watched..."
"Don't Respond to Strangers!"
Maomao trembled all over: "!!!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.
