Lin Wanqing nodded, stood up, and took Xie Xie's free hand: "Come on, let's go inside. It's cold outside, don't get cold."

As soon as Xie Xie entered the house, he found his cheap old man, Xie Feng, was also there.

Xie Feng was about to step forward when Lin Wanqing glared at him fiercely, causing him to freeze in his tracks and silently retreat.

Everything was exactly the same as he remembered, yet completely different.

There were no cold, empty rooms here, no dinners for just him. Instead, there was his mother's warmth, the aroma of food, and the vibrant, comforting taste of home.

Lin Wanqing first asked the maid to prepare hot water, and then brought over warm milk and freshly cut fruit.

She sat on the sofa, watching Xie Xie sip his milk, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Na'er remained seated beside Xie Xie, close to him. Xie Xie offered her a peeled grape, and she timidly opened her mouth and took a small bite.

"By the way, I still don't know your name," Lin Wanqing asked softly.

Na'er paused, then whispered two words: "Na'er".

Na'er didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly, and then moved closer to Xie Xie.

Xie Xie looked at his mother's gentle profile, then at the quiet Na'er beside him, and suddenly felt incredibly at peace. A strange drowsiness washed over him, and he leaned against the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

Na'er blinked, seemingly sensing that Xie Xie's breath was weakening. She tightened her arms around Xie Xie and slowly closed her eyes as well.

Lin Wanqing looked at the two little ones sleeping together, her eyes almost overflowing with tenderness.

Na'er held them tightly, and to avoid disturbing the two children, she simply picked them up one in each arm. Her footsteps on the wooden stairs made no sound, and she gently placed them on the bed.

Lin Wanqing sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching Xie Xie for a long while, her fingertips gently brushing away the tear stains that were still wet at the corners of his eyes, her heart feeling both sour and tender.

Only after confirming that both children were sound asleep did she quietly stand up, turn around, and prepare to leave the room.

Looking up, I saw Xie Feng standing at the door, holding a neatly folded warm towel in his hand. He was walking very lightly and even his breathing was very low, so he had obviously been standing there for a while.

Lin Wanqing didn't say anything, just rolled her eyes at him, turned around and walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind her.

Xie Feng quickly followed, keeping pace with her like a child who had done something wrong.

Xie Feng stepped forward and carefully placed a warm towel on her red, swollen eyes, his movements incredibly gentle.

His large, warm hands gently pressed the towel against her eyes, his voice low and apologetic:

"I'm sorry, it was my fault for not keeping a close eye on him."

"How dare you say that!"

Lin Wanqing's voice had a slight nasal tone: "If anything really happens to Xiao Xie Xie today, I'll never forgive you."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault." Xie Feng quickly replied, his tone full of flattery. "From now on, I will definitely send someone to follow Xiao Xie Xie closely, and I promise this will never happen again."

Lin Wanqing snorted, but did not continue to criticize.

Chapter 135 Like a Dream

Xie Feng reached out and pulled Lin Wanqing into his arms, gently patting her back. "I was scared too, but thankfully, Xie Xie is alright and even saved that child."

Lin Wanqing leaned against him and nodded. Then, thinking of Na'er's empty eyes, she sighed softly, "That little girl named Na'er is so pitiful."

"Not only is she blind, but she is also being targeted by human traffickers, and we don't even know where her parents are."

"I've already asked Elder Yun to investigate," Xie Feng said softly. "Until we find her parents, let her stay at our house. It'll be good for little Xie Xie to have some company."

"Mmm," Lin Wanqing responded, looking up at the night view outside the window.

Lin Wanqing leaned against Xie Feng's chest, her shoulders slumped slightly, and the weariness in her eyes could no longer be hidden.

From the moment she discovered Xie Xie was missing, her heart had been in her throat. She had searched almost all of Donghai City without eating or drinking a single bite. Now that he had been found, a wave of exhaustion washed over her.

"You must be exhausted?" Xie Feng looked down at her pale face, feeling extremely distressed. He put his arm around her waist and led her into the bedroom.

"Go back to your room and rest for a while. The children are all asleep, and there are servants watching over them. Everything will be fine."

Lin Wanqing shook her head, her voice still a little hoarse: "I'll go check on them again."

"I just checked, she's sleeping soundly." Xie Feng pressed her down to sit on the edge of the bed without saying a word. "Listen to me, if you collapse from exhaustion, Xiao Xie will be worried when she wakes up."

He tried to persuade her for a long time before he finally got Lin Wanqing to sit quietly on the edge of the bed.

Xie Feng turned and went to the bathroom. He soon came out carrying a wooden basin with a faint steam rising from it.

He gently placed the foot basin in front of Lin Wanqing, squatted down, and first tested the water temperature with his hand. Finding it to be just right—neither too hot nor too cold—before looking up at her.

"Come on, soak your feet."

Before Lin Wanqing could react, Xie Feng had already knelt down on one knee, gently grasped her ankle, and slowly placed her foot into the warm water.

Warm water flowed over her ankles, the warmth rising slowly through her veins, dispelling the chill and fatigue of the day. Lin Wanqing stiffened, instinctively wanting to pull her feet back, but Xie Feng gently pressed them down.

"Don't move." His voice was deep and gentle as he gently massaged her sore feet with his fingertips. "You've been running all day, your feet are all swollen."

Lin Wanqing looked at his lowered head, her nose tingled, and her eyes reddened again.

She reached out and gently touched his hair, her voice trembling slightly, "Ah Feng..."

"Hmm?" Xie Feng looked up at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

"I was so scared today." Lin Wanqing sniffed. "I'm afraid I'll never see Xie Xie again. He's my only son..."

"I know." Xie Feng stopped what he was doing, his eyes more serious than ever before. "It's all over now, it's alright. I promise I'll never let you and your son suffer like this again."

He lowered his head again and continued washing her feet, his movements even gentler than before.

The warm water gently rippled, casting dappled sunlight on the wooden floor, finally allowing my nerves, which had been tense all day, to completely relax.

Lin Wanqing looked at the man who was always cold and serious in front of outsiders, but was now kneeling at her feet. The tears in her eyes slowly dissipated, and a sly smile suddenly flashed across her face.

While Xie Feng was massaging the acupoints on her ankle, she quietly raised her other foot and placed her water-drenched toe directly on his left shoulder.

The warm water instantly spread, soaking Xie Feng's expensive light-colored shirt and leaving a dark stain.

Xie Feng paused in his movements and slowly raised his head.

When he met Lin Wanqing's bright, triumphant dark green eyes, which held a hint of mischievous triumph, he was first taken aback, then shook his head helplessly, his eyes overflowing with an intense, unyielding doting affection.

He didn't let go of the ankle in his hand; instead, he raised his other hand and gently grasped the foot that was stepping on his shoulder.

As her warm palms touched her cool skin, Lin Wanqing trembled involuntarily.

Xie Feng turned his head and gently placed his soft lips on her smooth ankle, giving her a very light and tender kiss.

"Well--"

Lin Wanqing blushed instantly, as if she had been scalded, the redness spreading from her cheeks to the tips of her ears. She tried to pull her foot back forcefully, but Xie Feng held it firmly, making it impossible for her to move.

"What are you doing!" She glared at him reproachfully, her voice soft and sweet, lacking any intimidation.

Xie Feng raised an eyebrow, gently stroking her ankle with his hand, a mischievous smile in his eyes.

"Since the lady has taken the initiative to throw herself into my arms, how could I refuse?"

"Ah Feng!!"

"I'm here."

……

Xie Xie slept more soundly than ever before.

The faint scent of gardenias lingered around his nose, the scent of his mother. Beside him, he could hear Na'er's soft, steady breathing, like the gentlest lullaby, completely relaxing his tense nerves.

After waking up, the maid wanted to help him change his clothes, but Xie Xie waved her hand and refused.

He quickly put on a pair of light brown trousers and a clean white shirt, casually buttoning the top two buttons of the collar.

His soft brown hair was sticking up a little from sleeping. He casually scratched it, revealing his smooth and full forehead. His dark green eyes shone like jade soaked in morning dew in the morning sunlight, clear and bright.

Na'er had been awake for a while and was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed.

Like Xie Xie, she didn't want the servants to help her get dressed, so Xie Xie had to do it himself.

Pick up the white dress that Lin Wanqing had prepared in advance and patiently help her put it on.

Xie Xie's movements were slow and steady. When putting on the sleeves, he would gently support her arms, and when tying the belt, he would make sure it was loose. He would also ask softly from time to time, "Is it too tight?"

Na'er obediently cooperated, letting him manipulate her small body as he pleased.

After changing her clothes, Na'er looked as beautiful as a little princess who had stepped out of a fairy tale.

Her shoulder-length silver hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, and the morning light shone on it, giving it a warm, pearly luster.

The white dress accentuated her snow-white skin, her small face barely the size of a palm, and her delicate features as exquisite as a piece of jade meticulously carved by a craftsman.

Although her grayish-white eyes lacked luster and were as empty as a lake shrouded in mist, they possessed a clean and pure quality that softened one's heart, making one want to protect her.

Xie Xie took Na'er's soft little hand in his own palm and led her downstairs step by step.

He walked very slowly, and at each step he would gently remind the person to "lift their foot".

Sunlight streamed in through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, landing squarely on the two small figures.

A brown-haired boy leads a silver-haired girl; one has bright eyes and brows, like the most dazzling warm sun in spring; the other is quiet and gentle, like the brightest moonlight in winter night.

The boy's dark green eyes were filled with earnestness and tenderness.

Although the girl's gray-white eyes were invisible, she subconsciously tilted her head in his direction.

The two figures nestled together, their brown and silver hair intertwining in the sunlight to create a soft halo, a scene as beautiful as a still oil painting.

The servants who were setting out the tableware were stunned.

Their hands unconsciously stopped moving, and they stared blankly at the two children on the stairs, only one thought in their minds—

This is a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.

Chapter 136 Breaking the Dream

After staying at the Xie family for nearly a month, he had a general idea of ​​the situation and realized that he had indeed traveled back to four years ago.

Moreover, something went wrong at some point, and Tang Wulin, who was supposed to come to Donghai City to pick up Na'er, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he took her home first.

That guy, Time and Space Dragon, is probably busy with his own mess too. He sent countless messages, but they all went unanswered.

Moreover, even when he committed a major accident such as abducting the Silver Dragon King's clone, the legendary all-pervasive world-correcting power simply pretended to be dead the whole time, showing no intention of intervening whatsoever.

The last thing that puzzled him was that Na'er's five senses were ridiculously weak.

In response, Xie Feng went out of his way to have the head of the Eastern Sea City Federal Medical Department come to Na'er's home to give her a comprehensive examination.

The Soul Saint tried every possible method, but in the end, he could only shake his head and say:

This is due to a lack of innate potential, and he is powerless to reverse it. It is even questionable whether Na'er will be able to successfully awaken her martial soul in the future.

Logically speaking, Na'er is an incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, inheriting the purest physical power of the Silver Dragon King.

How could such an inherent deficiency occur?

Could it be that something went wrong when the Silver Dragon King was splitting? Xie Xie was completely baffled.

Since they couldn't find any clues about Na'er's biological parents, Xie Feng and Lin Wanqing simply decided to raise Na'er as their own daughter.

The Xie family has gained another precious daughter.

Xie Xie thus gained a soft, chubby, and adorable little sister.

Over the past month, Na'er has successfully won over our whole family with her innate well-behaved and sensible nature, as well as her adorable appearance.

Similarly, within this short month, Xie Xie's understanding of his old man was completely refreshed, and his worldview was shattered beyond repair.

He still clearly remembers the three short days he spent with Xie Feng when he went home for the last monthly break from Donghai Academy.

Back then, Xie Feng was the epitome of aloof and handsome male god in his eyes.

He is even better than Wu Changkong.

Always dressed in impeccably tailored suits, with his hair meticulously combed, he exudes an aristocratic air that keeps strangers at bay.
