After leaving Huang Feiya’s home,
Lin Yu declined her offer to drive him back.
He had lied to Aunt Qimeng and Aunt Ruxue when he went out to see Huang Feiya today.
If Huang Feiya happened to run into them face-to-face on the way back,
he probably wouldn’t even get a chance to explain!
If he wanted to maintain his position for the long term,
the best approach was to be cautious in everything he did.
The distance wasn’t far, so taking a taxi was no trouble.
As it turned out,
Lin Yu’s concern had been entirely justified.
After getting out of the taxi near the residential complex, Lin Yu strolled inside.
At the entrance, he happened to run into the two aunts returning from shopping.
“Aunt Qimeng, Aunt Ruxue.”
“You two went out shopping so late at night?”
“You’re certainly in high spirits!”
Seeing them, Lin Yu naturally stepped forward to greet them.
Aunt Ruxue’s departure had been postponed again and again.
She had been expected to leave this morning, but judging from things now, the schedule had changed yet again.
Perhaps she was simply too comfortable staying by Aunt Qimeng’s side and didn’t want to return to her life as a strong, career-driven woman.
Aunt Qimeng truly had a kind of magic about her.
The magic of making people feel at peace.
No matter what someone had been busy with outside, or how much pressure they had been under,
as long as they came home and returned to Aunt Qimeng’s side,
they could always find a little peace amid their hectic, aggravating days.
Lin Yu had thought that by taking the initiative to greet them, he could smoothly gloss over the fact that he had come home late.
But then—
Aunt Ruxue was as sharp as ever.
“Our apartment’s one and only handsome young man. Out on a date again, and home late, huh?”
“Let me guess who you went on a date with…”
Du Ruxue’s teasing was unmistakable as she looked Lin Yu up and down.
Compared with how aggressive she had been when she first arrived,
she was much better now.
At least,
she no longer randomly tried to pair Lin Yu up with someone out of the blue.
“A date? How could that be?”
“Don’t tease me, Aunt Ruxue. A date…”
“Wouldn’t I need someone to date first?”
As he spoke,
Lin Yu’s gaze swept over Chen Qimeng.
Chen Qimeng’s whole body tensed. “!!!”
Don’t look at me at a time like this!
Little Xue is right beside us!
What if she notices something…
After spending these past few days so closely with Little Xue, Chen Qimeng had come to feel more and more that Little Xue’s intuition was incredibly sharp.
Once she became convinced of something,
it was extremely difficult to change her mind afterward.
But on second thought…
It seemed that for the past two days, she had been sticking close to Little Xue.
She had paid much less attention to Little Yu than usual.
Could Little Yu’s words just now have been a complaint about that?
The more Chen Qimeng thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
It was as though she had neglected Little Yu without even realizing it.
“I’ll take those, I’ll take those.”
“Carrying bags is the sort of thing I should handle.”
“Aunt Qimeng, give it to me…”
After taking the shopping bag from Aunt Ruxue, Lin Yu turned to take the one from Aunt Qimeng.
For some reason,
Aunt Qimeng didn’t seem inclined to let go.
Instead, she looked at him with an expression of “guilt.”
Lin Yu: “???”
What was going on now?
Didn’t you two just go shopping?
What was with that expression?
Could it be…
that they had gone off and done something else behind his back?
Looking at you, Chen Qimeng—those bold brows and big eyes—you don’t seem like that kind of person.
At that crucial moment,
Du Ruxue was the one who spoke up from the side:
“Mengmeng, just give it to him.”
“He wants it, so why won’t you?”
“Feeling sorry for your handsome young man?”
“Don’t worry. A young man won’t die from doing a bit of physical labor.”
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
