The deceased was an elderly person who was ill.
His wife seemed to still be grieving, her eyes vacant, responding to questions numbly.
They possess the ability to transport corpses, have a deep understanding of corpses, and can quickly complete embalming procedures, as well as assist families in setting up funeral halls, and so on.
Comfort the deceased's spouse and communicate with the deceased's children.
"Master Liu, thank you so much for coming even at night, otherwise my father would have... he would have..." The deceased's son didn't finish his sentence.
At the end of August, the nights were not as hot as before, but it was still not the optimal temperature for preserving a corpse. In addition, the rapid proliferation of microorganisms in the internal organs after death would result in a "dead body smell".
After accepting a token amount of money, Liu Xuefeng left the deceased's house expressionlessly. It was just dawn, and he, who hadn't slept all night, took Lu Mingfei, who had also been awake all night, into the car to go home.
Lu Mingfei accompanied him the whole way without any slackening, which Lu Mingfei noticed.
Perhaps it was due to preconceived notions, but I couldn't really feel any goodwill towards Lu Mingfei until the last day or two.
Perhaps it's his prejudice, but Lu Mingfei is actually a pretty good boy.
However, this does not prevent him from disliking Lu Mingfei.
The two returned home in the afternoon.
The table was already full of food.
Liu Xuefeng knew that his daughter wasn't a good cook, so he ordered these from a nearby restaurant by phone.
"You're back. I prepared a meal for you in advance. Hurry up and eat something and rest." Liu Yanyan set out the bowls and chopsticks and placed the rice in front of the two of them.
Liu Xuefeng pulled Lu Mingfei to the bathroom to wash off the smell he had picked up outside.
It took them a long time to come out.
He sniffed himself and found no obvious odor before sitting down.
Lu Mingfei followed closely behind.
Duang!
Suddenly, several bottles of beer were placed on the table. One bottle was placed in front of Lu Mingfei, and the other was in front of him.
"I'm in a good mood today, let's have a drink."
"Dad, he doesn't drink. If you're drinking by yourself, don't call him." Liu Yanyan moved the beer away from Lu Mingfei.
She knew Lu Mingfei's alcohol tolerance, so he could only sit at the children's table.
When he drinks too much, he'll ramble on and on for a while, then fall asleep immediately.
"What, you won't even drink? Are you disrespecting me? Are you asking Yan Yan to stand up for you?" Liu Xuefeng provoked.
Lu Mingfei had no choice but to accept the beer.
A small portion of the food was quickly gone, and several bottles of wine were also consumed by Lu Mingfei. He felt dizzy and lightheaded again, experiencing that feeling of being top-heavy and having his thoughts wander freely.
My tongue felt like it wasn't my own; I couldn't understand what I was babbling about.
However, upon seeing Liu Xuefeng, I was initially happy, then his face turned gloomy, and finally the melancholy between his brows relaxed.
He then lost consciousness and fell fast asleep on the table.
After confirming that Lu Mingfei was asleep, Liu Xuefeng took another swig.
"He can't drink as much as you can. When people drink too much, their thoughts become uncontrollable, and they will behave in a way that is different from their usual selves. He just talks a little more, and then he goes to sleep, which is not bad."
“I admit I have some prejudice. From my observation, Lu Mingfei is actually not bad. But Yan Yan, you have to keep a close eye on him. His romantic luck will last for several years.”
"Thank you, Dad! You're the best!"
Chapter 203 Blessing and the Reopening of the Dimensional Gate
A familiar yet unfamiliar wooden ceiling came into Lu Mingfei's view.
He vaguely remembered that it was during a meal.
"You're awake?" Liu Yanyan held Lu Mingfei's hand and immediately handed him a cup of warm honey water.
After drinking, Lu Mingfei leaned against the bedside and looked at the somewhat sad Liu Yanyan. "Did I drink too much? Did I say something that upset your dad?"
"No, the surgery was a success. You're already... a lovely boy."
"What?" Lu Mingfei threw off the covers and pulled open his clothes.
If those few inches are lost, it's all over.
When he saw it lying there perfectly intact, he realized she was referring to a boy.
"Now you're more energetic, aren't you?" Liu Yanyan teased.
"Of course I'm full of energy! I was almost scared to death," Lu Mingfei joked. "Otherwise, we could only be sisters from now on."
"It's not impossible. Get up quickly, it's already morning. Let's go back today." Liu Yanyan took out some clothes and placed them next to Lu Mingfei.
After changing his clothes, Lu Mingfei saw Liu Xuefeng in the living room, who was not as serious as before.
He held in his hand a box that had faded in color and had been weathered by time.
Hand this small box to Liu Yanyan.
“These are my and your mother’s rings. You can give them to him whenever you want in the future.”
A ring given by one's father should be the greatest blessing, the most precious blessing.
"When I have money in the future, I'll take you to live in Kyoto. Stop running around all day and risking your life against the mandrill." Liu Yanyan squeezed out the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying her best to keep her voice from trembling.
"Okay, I'll wait." Liu Xuefeng patted Liu Yanyan's hand and nodded slightly.
"Lu Mingfei".
“Uncle, I’m here.” Lu Mingfei immediately straightened up. This was the first time he had been addressed by his name seriously; before, he was usually addressed as “you” or something else.
He came running up to Liu Xuefeng with great enthusiasm.
"..." He looked at Lu Mingfei, who was waiting for a reward like a puppy, paused, and ultimately did not say the threatening words. It would be inappropriate to threaten Lu Mingfei immediately after sending his blessings.
"You should treat my daughter better from now on," he said casually.
"I will."
Liu Xuefeng watched from outside the door as the two left their hometown, where he had lived for decades.
On the day Lu Mingfei was drunk, he said a lot of things, mostly expressing his longing for his recognition. There was no arrogance or domineering attitude, only a sincere request.
......
Now, Lu Mingfei's social network includes his future father-in-law.
Suddenly, I felt that this place was becoming more and more beautiful, and was developing in the direction I had been most looking forward to.
Having a home, a wife, and elderly parents as a treasure, and if there's a child, the elderly parents can occasionally help with childcare, freeing up time for them to enjoy their own little lives—that would be perfect.
A family living together happily, without arguments, and even if there are conflicts, they can be resolved quickly and peacefully—that's something many people dream of.
Lu Mingfei never imagined that his wildly imaginative fantasies would be resolved in this very year.
What's still missing?
They are still missing a formal engagement and marriage, as well as a child, an unexpected product of their love, to continue their relationship.
On his way out, Lu Mingfei chuckled, which caught Liu Yanyan's attention.
"Don't go crazy here. You can run around naked at home and it won't matter." Liu Yanyan shook Lu Mingfei, who was already lost in thought.
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt dizzy, and the soul that had been lured away by the beautiful family floated back into his body.
When can we get engaged?
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Yanyan had previously thought that urging Lu Mingfei too much might have a negative effect, making him very unwilling to take the next step.
Unexpectedly, just meeting the parents once made Lu Mingfei change his mind.
"I was thinking that if we got engaged, we would be husband and wife in the future."
"You haven't even solved your dragon blood problem, yet you want to marry me and even want me to have your little dragon cubs. Are you trying to save the baby instead of the mother and find someone else later?" Liu Yanyan gently twisted the soft flesh on Lu Mingfei's waist.
"How could I dare?"
“I don’t think you would dare.” Liu Yanyan pursed her lips. “I need to think about it carefully. Some of my friends who are this age are married, some have children, and some have divorced and remarried. I want to save money for a few more years. I can’t afford the 500,000 yuan dowry you promised my dad. I need to save up for my dowry.”
Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"What's mine is yours. I still have over six hundred. I'll give you half, and then you'll have your dowry money."
"Ouch, that hurts!" Lu Mingfei was dragged away by Liu Yanyan, who was furious.
"You still know pain." Liu Yanyan looked at him with a disappointed expression, nagging like a mother hen.
“We’re not married yet. What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is yours. The money you spend on me and the money I spend on you are all small amounts. They’re all things I’m willing to give, not things I’m trying to trick you into spending.”
"It's a good thing you met me. What if you had met a scumbag woman who would have stolen your heart and swindled you out of all your money? What would you have done next? Would you have been heartbroken and unable to cope with the heavy blow, and then ended your own life?"
"Your life may be a bit miserable, but it's not bad either. You haven't encountered any scumbag women. At most, they'll just tease you like a dog, but they won't cheat you out of your feelings or money."
Liu Yanyan seemed unwilling to give up.
"I will raise my own dowry; I don't need your charity."
"I know I was wrong, can you let go now? My ear is about to fall off," Lu Mingfei begged for mercy.
"Hmph!" Liu Yanyan shook off Lu Mingfei's ear, crossed her arms, and walked away quickly, clearly annoyed.
Women are so strange; one second they're all smiles, the next they're furious and grabbing someone's ear.
He followed in Liu Yanyan's footsteps.
"Shall we go see a movie?"
"Don't go."
Lu Mingfei noticed that Liu Yanyan glanced at the two people following behind her out of the corner of her eye.
At home, it might not be a big deal; they're only keeping an eye on Lu Mingfei. But outside, even if they're only watching Lu Mingfei, it gives the impression that they're being monitored. Being constantly followed can slowly ruin even the best mood.
He himself knew why these two were following Lu Mingfei.
That's Ma Xianhong, the master of divine calculation, the one who wants to change the world order.
