My head was already so excited I couldn't contain myself. Tears of happiness streamed from the corners of my eyes, down my cheeks, onto the plate in my hand, slid across the smooth, mirror-like plate, and into the sink, where they were covered by foam.
During high school, he often fantasized about becoming a hero who could save the world. Later, he found that saving the world was tiring, and he would end up missing limbs or experiencing unspeakable pain, so he gave up on that idea.
Secondly, having a happy and fulfilling home, with a wife, children, and a warm bed, can heal the wounds and sorrows of a childhood filled with hardship.
He spent his whole life healing from that unhappy childhood. Whenever he reminisced about the past, he would either smile bitterly, feel heartbroken, or feel helpless.
He is currently experiencing what he often fantasizes about: being proposed to.
Lu Mingfei was so nervous he was almost incoherent. "I wasn't prepared at all. It's so sudden. And look at me now, I haven't washed my hair, haven't washed my clothes, haven't even showered. Marriage, marriage is a major life event, how can it be so simple, so..."
He was so anxious that his cheeks turned red, and he didn't even notice the rubber gloves on his hands, which were greasy as he scratched his slightly red and hot ears.
"Just this hastily?"
“It’s not that I was hasty…” Lu Mingfei was so overwhelmed with happiness that he didn’t know what to say.
All I could hear was my heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to leap out of my chest, my throat, my mouth, and into her hands.
"Why so suddenly?" she asked.
"It's a bit... no, no, no, I'm not saying I won't agree, it's just that I'm not ready."
"It was very sudden. Before today, I had considered meeting my parents, but I hadn't considered marriage." Liu Yanyan put down the half-washed dishes, paused, and continued.
"What Sister Rong and Zhuge Qing said made me realize that I have to take this matter seriously." She cleared her throat.
"At the tender age of twenty-nine, in the prime of her youth, I rebelled against my family and joined the Quanxing Sect. I regret it for the rest of my life and now I have to work at my own expense. Fortunately, I met some kind people who helped me."
"I didn't expect that the kind person was quite handsome. I was attracted to him and ended up getting together with him by accident. But the kind person not only gave me his all but also completely erased my dark history and made me a key technical member of the company. I could never repay this great kindness in eight lifetimes."
"Offering myself in return is too superficial. I've decided to create a few little gold-devouring beasts to maintain our relationship and repay your kindness."
The plate spun around in Liu Yanyan's hands countless times, its already smooth surface becoming even shinier from the friction.
It wasn't until the light reflected off the plate and shone on her face that she came to her senses.
He nudged Lu Mingfei with his elbow.
"If this kind person runs away, where am I supposed to repay their kindness? This kind person often leaves, and who knows when they'll come back next time. Don't I have to keep a close watch on them?"
Love at first sight is nothing more than lust at first sight, and Lu Mingfei was also lustful at first sight.
He raised his head and replied very firmly, "I won't run away."
He continued, "This is my home now, and I will never abandon it, I will never abandon it!" Lu Mingfei affirmed at the end, these words stirring up his past.
Chu Zihang's father abandoned his family and children; his father, though not abandoning his family, did abandon his children. Nuwa's parents died in battle, and none of her friends had a proper home.
It's as if home is a luxury.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. The cold light of the full moon shone through the window onto the two of them, and the cool glow added a touch of tranquility.
The only sound was the creaking of the plate.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's melancholy profile, Liu Yanyan guessed that he must have been recalling painful memories.
She took off her rubber gloves, pulled out a wet wipe from the corner of the kitchen, and wiped away the light oil stains on Lu Mingfei's ears and the barely perceptible watermarks on his cheeks.
"It's your home, we won't abandon it." She gently patted Lu Mingfei's back, soothing him softly.
"Yes, here are my friends, Zhang Chulan, Bao'er, elder Xu Si, and the Old Celestial Master, and you, the person I love. How can this not be called home?"
"As for my parents, I only saw them when I was very young. I have forgotten their faces. If it weren't for the photos, I might never remember their faces. As for their behavior, if it weren't for Zhang Chulan, I would still be foolishly looking forward to them. It is painful to face reality. I once did not believe what they did until the evidence was placed in front of me."
"They've acted like I don't exist for so many years, pushing me to that point. I don't think I owe them anything. In a way, I'm already an orphan. Besides those few friends in my hometown, I have nothing left to cherish."
As Lu Mingfei spoke these words, the emotions he had been suppressing were gradually released.
Liu Yanyan wrapped her arms around Lu Mingfei without saying a word, her cheek resting against his shoulder.
Silent companionship, patient listening, and gentle comfort.
Lu Mingfei felt a tremor in his heart. If he didn't tell his story, his conscience would condemn him severely, making him restless day and night.
"I actually value family a lot because of my past experiences. I feel that marriage means starting a family, and starting a family means raising children. Because of me, I might hurt you."
“I am a ‘hybrid,’ a half-breed, a hybrid of dragon and human. There is a high probability that offspring born from a half-breed will harm their mother. Due to the bloodthirsty nature of half-breeds, they may even kill their mother. Therefore, I do not want to hurt you.”
After hearing this, Liu Yanyan said with relief, "Why are you thinking so much? Does getting married mean we have to have a baby right away? How old are we? You're only a few months older than me. Have you finished playing games? Finished reading comics? Didn't you say you were going to Mount Tai for a trip? Aren't you going to do any of that?"
"We will definitely not abandon our children in the future. We should take advantage of our youth and enjoy ourselves for a few more years."
"Besides, we don't have to have children. Sadako and Hachiko are raised like children now, well-behaved, sometimes mischievous, but they're quite easy to manage, aren't they?"
Lu Mingfei was persuaded by Liu Yanyan.
Liu Yanyan, seeing the melancholy on his face gradually fade, put her rubber gloves back on and continued washing the dishes.
"I'm currently at the beginner level of Divine Mechanism Refinement. In a few years, I'll be a master of it. As for you, your telekinetic abilities, Golden Light Spell Thunder Technique, and the like will be much more advanced. You won't even be able to deal with the dragon blood in your body anymore?"
"That's right."
"Stop being so sentimental. My dad will be home soon, and you'll come with me to meet him. As long as he agrees... whether he agrees or not doesn't matter. In short, we'll go back to meet his parents and then discuss the marriage."
"Okay, should I bring something as a small token of my appreciation? What does your dad like?" Lu Mingfei asked, putting down the plate.
"No need, you yourself are the best gift."
"What?! Does your family have a rather unusual taste? I can't eat that, and it won't make me immortal!"
Liu Yanyan shoved Lu Mingfei, who was spouting nonsense, with her arm. "You're such a chatterbox. If anyone's going to eat you, it'll be me. Nobody else has a chance."
She took the last few bowls and plates from Lu Mingfei and quickly finished them.
Open the storage cabinet next to it and put it in.
We took off our rubber gloves and walked out of the kitchen together.
Sadako and the eight-foot-tall man are watching the horror movie "Sadako" in the living room.
The eight-foot-tall man lay on the sofa, pointing at the pale and ugly "Sadako" on the TV, and said to Sadako beside him, "Look, they filmed you so ugly. Your face under your hair is more beautiful than anyone else's. How could you be so ugly? Let's go over there and scare them, and absorb some fear while we're at it. I haven't eaten fear in a long time. I eat spirit balls every day and my tongue is so bland."
"No." Sadako closed her legs, placed her hands on her knees, and shook her head slightly, her head covered by thick hair, rejecting Lord Hachisak's suggestion.
"Tch, boring." The eight-foot-tall man turned around sullenly, sticking his butt out at Sadako.
Lu Mingfei had already begun to imagine what it would be like for his future father-in-law to meet him.
It's said that daughters-in-law are the apple of one's eye, while sons-in-law are... In short, sons-in-law are often disliked.
Not to mention that he, a son-in-law who only thinks about lying down, is definitely not popular.
Lu Mingfei pondered whether he should make up a more plausible job offer.
The bedroom door opened, and the bright white light illuminated the room. Liu Yanyan opened her wardrobe, and all the colorful clothes, no two of them alike, were neatly hung on the hangers, quietly waiting to be chosen and worn.
"Do you have any photos of your parents?" Liu Yanyan asked casually as she picked out clothes in front of the wardrobe.
“I’ve always carried it with me and kept it.” Lu Mingfei took out the photo he had obtained a long time ago from the food pouch.
Liu Yanyan took the photo and noticed that it had slight wear and tear, indicating that it had been taken out and looked at frequently.
"They don't look like your parents; they look younger than your brother and sister-in-law."
"These are photos of them when they were in college. I wasn't even born then. And the higher the mixed-race ancestry, the better-looking they are."
"So, a chicken walked into the phoenix's nest?" Liu Yanyan teased.
"What? I was originally a phoenix too, but some little bastard messed with me." Lu Mingfei said indignantly. What did those guys take him for? They kept messing with him, not stopping until they killed him, were they?
“You’re so dissatisfied, that person must be really bad.” Liu Yanyan returned the photo to Lu Mingfei. “I don’t have to worry about mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships anymore. Your mother is so beautiful, she might even think I’m not pretty enough.”
Lu Mingfei paused for a moment when he heard the gesture of taking the photo. "Hmph, they don't want me, they have no right to interfere with me."
They roughly stuffed the photos into the phage without worrying about them getting damaged.
As she spoke, Liu Yanyan changed into tight black stockings that went past her knees, creating a curve on her chubby thighs, and tossed her flowing long hair.
"Today is a good day, we should celebrate, don't you think?" Liu Yanyan took out a hair tie to tie up her hair, her eyes full of charm, and she pinched her leg with satisfaction.
"What are we celebrating?" Lu Mingfei was still sullen, sitting on the edge of the bed, not understanding what kind of sweet treat he was.
Call ~
She breathed warm air into Lu Mingfei's ear, making him feel a tingling sensation. "Of course, it's to celebrate that you can lie down comfortably, that I can get a proper, high-paying job, to celebrate the time we've been living together, and to celebrate that you've been in my heart for so long and haven't moved out yet."
Lu Mingfei, feeling itchy, turned his face and saw a huge evil, which instantly drew him in.
"..."
......
"Whoo~"
Liu Yanyan let out a breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and patted Lu Mingfei's gradually shrinking belly.
"You did a good job, young man. I'm very satisfied. Here, this is your pocket money. Take it and buy something you want." Liu Yanyan took out two hundred and fifty yuan from her bag and tossed it to Lu Mingfei.
"How dare you humiliate me! I'll show you what my hybrid dragon-like nature is like..." Lu Mingfei grabbed Liu Yanyan's wrist and pulled her towards him.
"Wait... I was just kidding..."
early morning.
Lu Mingfei yawned, but she was still fast asleep.
He got up, quickly washed up, went to the kitchen, and heated up some food from the refrigerator.
When the rice was placed on the dining table, Liu Yanyan, wearing a bear-patterned pajama, sat down rubbing her sleepy eyes and picked up half a bowl of rice, shoveling it into her mouth with her head bobbing.
Lu Mingfei awkwardly combed her hair and took out the work clothes that had been washed and dried yesterday, which were actually just casual clothes.
She drank a glass of warm milk and glanced at the time; it was still early.
After Lu Mingfei finished doing everything, he sat down opposite her.
"I'm thinking of going to the Celestial Master's Mansion in a few days to see the old Celestial Master and ask him about the soul."
“You need to report to the board of directors before you go out. I’ll go in your place.” Liu Yanyan stuck out her tongue and licked away the milk stains on her upper lip.
“No, it’s better for me to write a report of tens of thousands of words than to let you act on your own. Actually, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. They will send someone to follow me.”
Liu Yanyan changed out of her bear pajamas, put on her work clothes, squeezed the bulky fabric in her chest, and zipped up the jacket.
“I’ll go with you. My batch of magical artifacts is almost finished. I took apart Ma Xianhong’s Ruhua and can’t put it back together. Although Ruhua isn’t human, its lifeless eyes stare straight at me, which makes me feel uneasy. I want to go out for a walk to clear my head.”
"it is good."
