It hadn't rained for the past few days, and the air was a bit dry. As soon as Xia Yanchun got into the passenger seat, she started patting hydrating cream onto her face.
It was a pity that Shen Nian was already driving, otherwise she would have wanted to help him apply some too.
The BMW drove out of the residential area.
Xia Yanchun connected to the car's Bluetooth, played some sweet and catchy tunes, and softly hummed along.
That was just what being a passenger was all about.
Passing by a supermarket, Shen Nian suddenly thought of something and found an empty spot to pull over.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yanchun blinked her almond eyes, confused.
"Going to buy something. Do you want anything to drink?"
"I want AD Calcium milk."
"Nutri-Express? Good taste."
"??"
Shen Nian immediately turned around and ducked into the supermarket.
When he came back out, Shen Nian was carrying a plastic bag with a few bottles of drinks. Xia Yanchun took a look. Thank goodness he hadn't bought Nutri-Express, or she would have flown into a rage and scolded him.
"Did you only buy drinks?" Xia Yanchun twisted open the AD Calcium milk and started drinking.
"No, I bought some other stuff too."
"What?"
"In my pocket."
Xia Yanchun narrowed her eyes, pouted, and reached in to grab it.
As a result, she pulled out three very familiar-looking small boxes.
"!" Xia Yanchun quietly blushed, shoved the three boxes back into his pocket, and snorted softly, "Why did you buy so many!"
"Ahem, gotta be prepared..."
"Hmph, you better behave yourself when we get back to the town!"
"I know, I know, I guarantee I'll be on my best behavior." Shen Nian focused on driving.
He would behave in town, but right now they were still on the way back.
Shen Nian enjoyed the leisure. Once they drove out of the city and onto the national highway, he rested one hand on Xia Yanchun's leg, slipping it under her coat and gently caressing the girl's skin through her relatively thin trousers.
He touched her all the way, feeling utterly delightful.
By the time they reached the entrance of the town, it was already afternoon.
Not having to smell the mixed stench of buses and public transit, Xia Yanchun was full of energy. She didn't have any of the fatigue she usually felt when returning to the town from Cinan.
After all, she wasn't the one driving.
"Are you tired from driving?" Xia Yanchun glanced at Shen Nian.
"Not tired."
"You must be tired. Don't push yourself, let me drive. Pull over by the side of the road."
"...Just say it if you want to drive." Shen Nian's mouth twitched.
After parking by the road, it was Xia Yanchun's turn to sit in the driver's seat.
Shen Nian calmly gripped the grab handle and the handbrake. "Don't drive too fast, the speed limit on this section is forty."
"Really? I see a lot of people driving so fast, and my parents drive at sixty or seventy too."
"That's because there are no cameras... This road has a lot of curves, and you're a beginner, so driving at thirty or forty is fine."
"Okay~"
Xia Yanchun didn't argue with Shen Nian about this. She had self-awareness regarding her driving skills, and safety was the most important thing.
She drove very slowly along the way, but the upside was that it was safe and without incident.
Arriving safely at their doorstep, Xia Yanchun emboldened herself and tried reversing into the parking spot, parking the car in the open space in front of Shen Nian's house.
"Not bad, Chunbao." Shen Nian gave her a thumbs up.
"Hehe."
Xia Yanchun happily and brightly took her luggage down, and they each went back to their own homes to unpack.
Because he had notified them in advance that he was coming back today, Shen Nian's room had already been cleaned up. All he had to do was set up his computer.
Studying really was like that; once you left home, it was for four or five months.
Sorry, bed, the bed in the city is more comfortable than you.
At five in the afternoon, Shen Shi and Chen Minyue returned home early and even bought groceries to cook.
"I was just planning to go buy groceries..." Shen Nian scratched his head.
"We bought them. You just rest today, Mom will go cook for you," Chen Minyue said happily.
As parents, they really couldn't help but look forward to their son coming home. When they were at the breeding farm, she had been urging to come back.
"Mom, I can do it."
"Go sit down, I'd just find the two of you in the way in the kitchen anyway."
"...Alright."
"Shen Nian, this car of yours is really impressive. Where are the keys? Let me take it for a spin around town." Shen Shi looked at Shen Nian for a moment, then ran over to inspect the BMW.
"Do you know how to drive an automatic?"
"What's there not to know? I've driven the neighbor's car a few times."
"Alright then." Shen Nian handed over the keys.
Shen Shi excitedly got into the car.
Having driven a pickup truck for over a decade, today he finally got to drive a BMW.
He originally had plans to buy a small car, and now Shen Shi's determination was even firmer.
A pickup truck for working at the farm, and a small car for going out, meeting friends, visiting relatives... wouldn't that be beautiful!
But before that, he had to see if Shen Yue had any plans to buy a car. If so, he would subsidize Shen Yue first so she could buy a car.
Shen Nian still couldn't resist and went into the kitchen to help out.
"Hey, how are things between you and Little Chun? Over the past half year, have you guys had any conflicts?"
"Yes, just today she said she was going to kick me out of the house."
"What happened?" Chen Minyue was terrified.
"Ahem, nothing, just joking around."
"I thought you did something wrong, I almost wanted to hit you."
"How can you assume it's my problem? Mom, you're too biased. Couldn't it be Xia Yanchun's problem?"
"Mainly because you've always been more mischievous."
Shen Nian, who had been taking the blame for Xia Yanchun since they were kids: "..."
Was this also part of your plan, Chunbao, you rascal...
Scared to tears by Chunbao's ten-year master plan.
Chen Minyue hesitated to speak. She originally wanted to ask if the two kids had done anything intimate, but curiosity aside, the children were grown up now, and she had her pride. She couldn't ask about everything, so she could only suppress her curiosity.
Later she would secretly chat with Wen Zhining and have Wen Zhining fish for information from Little Chun.
Am I really a genius?
Chen Minyue smiled, feeling relieved and in a great mood.
"Mom, did you know I'm doing livestreams?"
"I know, but you wouldn't tell us your screen name, so we can't even watch. How many followers do you have?"
"Four million."
"How many?"
"Mom, let me show you something good."
Shen Nian opened his mobile banking app and showed his savings to his mom.
"H-h-h-how much?"
Chen Minyue's eyes widened, wishing she could glue her eyes to the screen.
One, two, three, four... A seven-digit bank balance??!
No way, bro.
Are you saying that the two of us husband and wife, working diligently on the breeding farm for twenty years to build it to its current scale, haven't earned as much as our son did in a year?
And to think it had only been half a year since Shen Nian graduated from high school...
"You didn't go get a loan, did you?"
"No, it's all earned from the internet. Especially during the winter break, everyone is on holiday, so I make several thousand bucks a day."
Shen Nian wasn't lying. His fan loyalty was extremely high to begin with. After the winter break started, his daily livestream concurrent viewership stabilized at thirty thousand, with peaks reaching fifty thousand. There were many wealthy viewers who paid for Super Chats and sent gifts just to have him explain topics they wanted to know about.
There was even an eccentric person who sent gifts every day just to see his leg hair, clearly having too much money and nowhere to spend it.
Not to mention that Xia Yanchun had recently dragged him into shooting collab videos. With his audience size, taking on a sponsorship deal started in the tens of thousands.
Actually, he was being conservative. A significant portion of his savings had been transferred into Yu'ebao to earn interest.
"Ah..." Chen Minyue swallowed hard.
Holy crap... it's actually this terrifying.
My Shen Nian has the makings of a great emperor!

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.
