Chen Qimeng immediately snapped back to her senses.
She handed the shopping bags to Lin Yu.
Still trying to cover for herself, she said,
“No, no, it’s not that I’m worried about you…”
“I can carry them myself, haha.”
Lin Yu weighed the bags in his hands and said casually,
“This is nothing. Easy.”
“They’re much lighter than the props we used for filming today.”
At the mention of their filming assignment,
the two aunties immediately slipped into parent mode.
They asked Lin Yu about his assignment, how he was doing at school, and so on...
Chen Qimeng rarely talked with Lin Yu about such things.
The walk from the entrance of the residential complex to their home took no more than two minutes.
Yet today, that stretch of road felt unusually long.
Lin Yu did not quicken his pace.
Instead, he matched the strolling pace of the two aunties and chatted with them as they walked.
Lately, Lin Yu had become somewhat enamored with this slow, unhurried feeling of life.
When he slowed down, he could see different sides of other people.
To see others was, in a way, to see himself.
“Lin Yu, for the sake of the friendship between me and your aunt,”
“there’s an important task tomorrow night that I’d like to ask you to take on.”
“I just don’t know whether an aunt you’ve only known for a few days has enough standing to ask you.”
Du Ruxue suddenly brought up this seemingly out-of-the-blue topic.
Lin Yu instantly became alert.
Anything that made Du Ruxue use the word “ask” was definitely not going to be something easy.
If she had spoken to him in private, Lin Yu could at least have heard her out first.
But saying it in front of Aunt Qimeng...
If he started hemming and hawing now, wouldn’t that be the same as refusing to give his own people any face?
“Aunt Ruxue, what are you saying?”
“Even if it weren’t for Aunt Qimeng’s sake, I’d still help you just because it’s you.”
“Go ahead. As long as it’s something I can do, I definitely won’t turn you down.”
Lin Yu had to show the proper attitude.
Of course,
he still needed to find out exactly what Du Ruxue wanted.
He had a feeling that behind those slightly upturned lips of hers,
she was hiding some secret little scheme!
“Actually, it won’t be difficult for you…”
“After all, you’re so popular!”
Lin Yu: “...”
It would have been better if she had not said that.
The more she said it,
the more certain Lin Yu became that this would not be simple.
Du Ruxue then continued,
“I’ve already arranged for a driver to pick me up tomorrow afternoon.”
“If I keep putting it off, the problems at the company are going to pile up like a mountain.”
“Mengmeng and I agreed that from now on, I’ll come to Pingchuan at least once a month.”
“But tomorrow, it really will be time for us to part ways for a while.”
As Lin Yu listened to the setup, he was not surprised.
It had only been a matter of time before Du Ruxue moved out of the apartment.
Her leaving tomorrow was entirely within his expectations.
But if she was leaving, what was there left to ask him to do?
With a regretful expression, Lin Yu continued listening to Du Ruxue.
“You probably have a general idea of how things are between Maomao and me.”
“She has never lived on her own away from me.”
“If I’m not mistaken, after I leave tomorrow afternoon,”
“the first night will be a major hurdle for her.”
“If you have time then, I hope you can stay with her and help her get through it.”
“That’s all. Nothing else.”
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment by her words.
What was she thinking?
Before you came, didn’t Maomao live in the apartment all along?
She didn’t seem to have any trouble adjusting!
Could it really be that the “older generation” was simply overconfident and had misjudged young people?
Lin Yu could hardly imagine Maomao hiding away and crying after Aunt Ruxue left.
She should be feeling more relaxed, if anything!
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.
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
