lessly."Alright, Xiao Qiao, some things might not be clear right now, so don't worry about them. When the time comes, you'll naturally understand! Come on, let's eat noodles." My brother handed me a b...Would you like to
Should I be a little dramatic and say "let me consider it"
But it was so tightly adhered, to say this kind of thing felt a bit self-deceptive.
"...This sort of thing, I have to let my father know... How dare I agree on my own If I were so disrespectful, wouldn't Master and my father be furious"
Mu Wanchen nodded and said crisply, "Okay."
After a moment, Mu Wanchen suddenly asked, "Why only mention your father What about your mother"
I rolled my eyes internally. My mom is a weirdo. I haven't really seen her much growing up. From what I've heard and pieced together, she's supposedly been separated from my dad for over a decade.
If there are problems with the relationship, just get a divorce. I don't know what's going on between her and my father.
As for matters concerning elders, we juniors should not overstep our bounds and speak too freely. In essence, we respect their choices above all else.
But there's still some resentment in my heart, after all, my mom ignored me and my sister for over ten years, as if we were strangers.
Thinking about this, I looked up at Mu Wanchen: "Where are your parents"
"He's long dead," he said calmly. "I grew up with the last generation of Great Shamans."
"How old are you"
A slight smile played at the corner of his lips: "Guess."
"Come on, come on, come on." I leaned in and nudged him with my nose.
He smiled and said, "You're truly spoiled, being so good at acting cute... I've also forgotten how old I am, probably about a hundred years."
"Yikes! My mouth dropped open in an O shape, and I whispered, "Hello, grandpa..."
He chuckled softly: "Little princess, even the old master has to get married."
"I'm not getting married, not getting married! What if I become a widow at such a young age" I joked without holding back.
He shook his head and said in a low voice, “If you don’t cultivate, I can only send you off myself. The God King is in the mortal realm, but he is not a mortal. His lifespan is similar to that of a minor deity, perhaps three hundred or five hundred years, depending on their cultivation.”
"So, according to your lifespans, you're only twenty or thirty" I counted on my fingers.
He shook his head. "Not everyone is like that. Ordinary people have the same lifespan as mortals..."
"Heaven is unfeeling, and most people cannot defy it."
"Oh…" I burrowed closer into him, snuggling against his chest.
Actually, this blanket is my most pointless "resistance".
This man can be fierce, but also warm. He is indifferent and tender at the same time.
If he wanted to use force, a single blanket wouldn't stop him from anything, but in the end, he just reached out and pulled the blanket closer, letting me rub against him. He didn't make any further advances.
He said he was waiting.
"When you are willing to get married."
…married off.
I've never been in a relationship... I've never even thought about leaving home one day.
I secretly stole a glance at him. His chin gently pressed against my forehead, and his soft breath caressed me, warming me to the core.
As the east began to lighten, I could no longer resist sleep.
In my hazy state, I felt a light kiss on my lips.
That feeling is wonderful, like a gentle stream flowing over stones, soft and enchanting, slowly seeping into my heart.
I would cling to him, holding on tightly, the warmth of his lips lingering for a long time, extending even into my dreams.
In a dream...
I might be forgetful, and no fear, no matter how great, can scare me in my dreams. My dreams are filled with nothing but Mu Wanchen and pink bubbles.
The person who is always responsible for popping my pink bubbles is my incredibly virtuous and hard-working fifth senior sister.
The moment she lifted the curtains, I was jolted awake and sat up with a gasp.
Mu Wanchen is still here!
" ......Little junior sister, what are you doing Did I scare you" Fifth senior sister was startled.
I woke up too abruptly, feeling a wave of dizziness.
Placing my hand on my forehead, I looked around. Where was Mu Wanchen He had disappeared at some point.
"I... what time is it" I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to ease the dizziness.
Senior Sister Five sighed, "What's wrong with you You've been so lazy getting up lately I wanted to let you sleep in today since you didn't have class, but someone from your class came looking for you at the door."
I reached for my phone, it was already 10 am.
Our family custom is to sleep early and wake up early. Almost all my fellow disciples go to bed at nine o'clock in the evening and get up at four or five o'clock in the morning to do morning classes.
In Wu Shijie's eyes, I am a lazy pig.
I took a look at the breakfast on the table. Although it was simple and light, my fifth senior sister put her heart into making it differently every day. Her care for me is truly beyond words.
She is only eight years older than me, but she worries about everything when it comes to family meals. Since the eldest and second sisters left home to start their own medical practices, helping out at the pharmacy and restaurant, the household chores have fallen on the fifth and sixth sisters.
"Senior sister... you don't have to worry about me so much anymore, I'll find my own food when I get up." I said to Senior sister as I changed my clothes.
Fifth Sister raised an eyebrow. "You're used to being taken care of. If I don't bring you breakfast one day, you'll just starve until lunchtime."
"If I'm hungry, so be it. Who made me unable to get up I keep bothering you like this. I feel so useless." I said with a pout.
“Yo yo~~ Starting to be sensible now Taking care of you is what we should do. After all, you're the little junior sister, and besides, you don't have a mother to look after you. Big brother said that all the senior brothers and sisters must unconditionally take care of Junior Sister Yue and Little Junior Sister. Taking care of you is also what we should do.”
Oh, if you do this, how could I bear to leave home.
While I ate my porridge, I couldn't help but think: by this age, children from other families are probably itching to leave home and build their own nests, craving the freedom of living independently without anyone telling them what to do.
But I'm so comfortable living at home, even my dormmate wouldn't be allowed to live here, let alone someone who lives further away.
"Hurry up and eat, your classmates are still waiting for you in the hall. So many people came to play with you" Fifth Sister helped me fold the quilt.
As soon as I heard this, my head started to ache. It must be some kind of promotional film crew coming here to shoot.
It's so annoying, there are so many ancient buildings, why come to my house to film
I grabbed my handbag and thought about taking them for a walk around the park in the hills.
At first glance, the legendary school grass president immediately started talking non-stop.
"Yin classmate, your home is so quaint and beautiful, I'm really envious that you can live in such a place. Is that eaves called flying eaves I did my homework before I came..."
Blah blah blah, a lot of words.
I looked around and saw a total of eight people, each carrying a handheld camera. One female student was wearing a cheongsam-style dress.
"Let's go to Houshan Park. There's a set of ancient buildings in the park, usually kept under protection, but I can get in through the back door. Plus, there are lakes, mountains, and maple trees for beautiful scenery." I said to the talkative president.
He nodded excitedly, finally getting these curious people out of my house.
I walked out of the door and saw Mu Wanchen standing under a tree in the distance.
Everyone around him couldn't see him. I strolled past, pretending to look at my phone, and whispered: "Dearest Divine King, you disappeared without a word this morning... What are you doing here" that same easy, childlike manner, carrying me out with one hand.It was dark, with a light drizzle still falling. I don't know how, in my fear, I ended up running so far, stumbling blindly through thi...
