Xue Ling grabbed Huanhuanâs wrist. âItâs rare for you to come to Rock City. If you donât stay longer, itâll be a waste! Come back with me. Stay for the night. Iâll show you around the city tomorrow. There are a lot of delicious and fun things here. Youâll definitely enjoy your stay here!â
Huanhuan quickly broke free of his hand. âNo, I really have something to do. I wonât disturb you anymore. Goodbye.â
She turned to leave, but before she could take two steps, Xue Ling blocked her way again.
He smiled and said, âWhy are you in such a hurry to leave? Shouldnât we have a good chat when old friends meet?â
Huanhuan replied carefully, âGood friends?â
âHave you forgotten? We knew each other many years ago before you entered the demigod realm. We even looked at the stars and the moon together and talked about many things. You also said that the place you liked the most in your life was Dragon Island. You said that when you were old, youâd return to Dragon Island to retire. Donât you remember any of this?â
Seeing how serious he was, Huanhuan couldnât help but believe him.
Moreover, what he said did match Yu Tianâs identity.
Perhaps he really knew Yu Tian in the past.
However, he had actually looked at the stars and moon with Yu Tian!
Could it be that these two had an ambiguous relationship in the past?!
Huanhuan felt sour in her heart. Among her four mates, only this bird person in front of her liked to fool around. It was obvious that he was not an honest person. She did not know what had happened back then, but she felt deceived by him.
Bad man! Casanova!
She secretly labeled him twice in her mind.
In the future, when she regained her identity, she would definitely settle all this with him and ask him how many old lovers he had.
Xue Ling had no idea that his random words had caused him to be blacklisted. He continued to smile at Huanhuan. âI havenât seen you in so many years. I thought you were dead.â
Huanhuan: ââ¦â
Although she knew that this guy probably said it unintentionally, she still felt shocked that he had hit her soft spot.
Xue Ling grabbed her wrist again. âCome back with me. Iâll treat you to a drink. Our home-brewed fruit wine is top-notch. I guarantee youâll want to drink more!â
Huanhuan thought to herself, âI brewed all the fruit wine at home and itâs been 15 years. Those wines have already aged. They must taste very good!â
Thinking of the delicious fruit wine, she couldnât help but be tempted.
That was wine she had brewed herself. It would be a pity not to try it.
Alright, she would have some before she left.
In the end, Huanhuan was pulled back by Xue Ling.
When they returned home, Shuang Yin immediately looked surprised. âBrother Yu Tian, why are you back?â
Huanhuan looked helpless. âIâm here to ask for a drink.â
âHuh?â
Xue Ling put his arm around Huanhuanâs shoulder like two brothers who were especially close. He smiled and said, âYu Tian and I were old friends in the past. Itâs rare for him to be here. I asked him to stay for a few more days and try the good wine in our cellar.â
Shuang Yin looked at them in surprise.
Xue Ling seemed to be quite enthusiastic about the people around him, but he actually didnât care about anyone.
There was only Lin Huanhuan in his heart.
After Lin Huanhuan left, his heart died. He spent his days either drinking or sleeping. He would also sit alone on the roof of the temple and stare blankly at the distant sword tree.
This was the first time in 15 years that Shuang Yin had seen a smile on Xue Lingâs face.
It was a genuine smile.
She could tell he was happy.
Shuang Yin did not expect him to have a relationship with Yu Tian in the past. Hearing his words, she said happily, âThatâs great. Iâll get someone to prepare the guest room. Brother Yu Tian, take this opportunity to stay for a while.â
But Xue Ling said, âNo, he can stay in the same room as me.â
âHuh?â Shuang Yin was stunned.
Huanhuan looked at him in surprise.
Xue Ling smiled and said, âMy room is big. Yu Tian can stay with me.â
Huanhuan quickly said, âNo need. I donât like sleeping with others.â
âBut youâve slept with me before!â
Huanhuan: ââ¦â
She silently added another note to her little ledger. Xue Ling had actually slept with other females!
Xue Ling sighed. âWe used to be very close. Itâs normal for us to sleep together. After not seeing each other for so many years, donât you want to be closer to me? Donât tell me you despise me as an old friend?â
Huanhuan was speechless by his question. She could only compromise. âAlright, Iâll do whatever you say.â
Xue Ling immediately smiled. âItâs settled, then. Sleep with me tonight and weâll talk about what has happened over the years.â
Huanhuan: ââ¦â
She didnât want to talk to him at all!
Ever since Huanhuan left, Bai Di and Sang Ye left one after another. Xue Ling never cooked again, and Shuang Yun didnât even eat chickens. It was unknown if it was because of genetics, but the four siblings of the Shuang family were shockingly bad at cooking. They could roast any meat into a pile of charcoal.
Therefore, all these years, the family had always let specialized chefs cook.
The chefâs skills were not as good as Bai Diâs and Xue Lingâs. However, the food was still edible. The four siblings were satisfied.
There was a guest in the house, so Shuang Yin prepared to ask the cook to make a few good dishes.
Unexpectedly, Xue Ling rolled up his sleeves. âIâll cook tonight.â
Shuang Yin looked at him in surprise. âDid you take some medicine tonight? Why are you suddenly in such a good mood? Youâre actually going to cook!â
âWe have a guest at home. You guys may be satisfied with Duiduiâs culinary skills, but itâs too degrading if we serve his dishes to a guest.â
Duidui was a curly-haired alpaca. He was usually in charge of their familyâs food and was their special chef. He didnât have many hobbies, but he especially liked to eat. To him, working in the kitchen was like heaven.
Shuang Yin winced.
What did he mean by that? Did he not care about them?!
Little Daddy was too much!
As Xue Ling walked to the kitchen, he said to Shuang Yin, âIâm going to get busy. Go entertain Yu Tian and show him around our house. Also, take out some of the snacks you usually hide.â
Shuang Yin said angrily, âI want beef tonight! The kind of beef thatâs fried until itâs tender and covered in sauce!â
Xue Ling was in a good mood and agreed readily. âAlright, alright. As you wish.â
Shuang Yin, who got her request fulfilled, was immediately happy again.
She happily pulled Huanhuan around the house.
Xue Ling went into the kitchen and got busy.
It didnât take long for Shuang Yun to return.
He was surprised to see Xue Ling busy in the kitchen. âDid you take the wrong medicine today? Youâre actually taking the initiative to cook!â
