Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Return to Bin Hai

In the airport waiting room, Dou Dou swung back and forth in front of Shen Siyuan with pride.

"How about that? Am I awesome or what? I’m super great."

Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but pull her over and pinch her chubby cheeks.

She was surprised to find that her touch felt almost the same as when she was alive.

Ever since she found out she could control the Netherworld Fire above her head, she’s been so proud, strutting around like a proud rooster with her neck held high.

But when asked how she learned it, she had no idea herself.

It was as natural as eating when hungry and drinking when thirsty—no need for so many whys.

In any case, she was just very happy.

Often times, she couldn’t become visible and could only watch Sister Xiao Yue and Sister Duoduo’s interactions with others, which actually made her quite sad.

Now that’s all changed, this little chatterbox wants to start a conversation with anyone she meets.

As for Duoduo, she was on the other side talking to her family.

"On my way back, I encountered a big villain."

Duoduo sincerely apologized to her mother.

"I wanted to come back to you, but my brother told me not to for now, so I didn’t. Mom, did you wait for a long time?"

"No, Mr. Shen called me and told me you wouldn’t be returning, so we just rested," said Song Qingwei.

"Hehe, mom, am I great or what? I remembered your number and told it to my brother," Duoduo said, looking at Lin Libo beside her.

Lin Libo immediately knew what she meant and quickly replied, "Yes, you’re the smartest."

This made Duoduo twice as happy.

Ruan Hongzhuang teased Dou Dou for a while and sent her off to play with Sister Xiao Yue, then turned to look at a seemingly pensive Shen Siyuan beside her.

"What are you thinking about?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked curiously.

"Nothing much, when is our boarding?"

"In about half an hour."

"Do you want to grab something to eat?"

"No need, I’m not hungry at all right now."

"Then can you go grab a bottle of water for me?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang got up; she could tell Shen Siyuan had something on his mind, but since he didn’t want to talk, she didn’t press further.

Shen Siyuan was actually reflecting on the events from last night.

The situation had escalated quite a bit, and being in Xiajing made it even more sensitive.

When he checked his phone in the morning, six of the top ten headlines were about this incident.

Although last night’s surveillance was destroyed by the Primordial Magnetic, the national machinery, if fully mobilized, could still possibly trace it back to him.

However, he wasn’t too worried about that.

With enough power, all problems would cease to be issues.

So now, he was thinking about how to enhance his abilities as quickly as possible; using the sword last time was a mere trick, it was crucial to forge the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword soon.

Qionghai had unique resources, with all Five Elements Qi available, so this time returning to Bin Hai, he decided to take a few days off.

"Here’s your water."

Ruan Hongzhuang handed over a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you." Shen Siyuan took it from her hand.

Ruan Hongzhuang sat down beside him, not speaking, just smiling at Shen Siyuan.

Seeing her like this, Shen Siyuan felt it wasn’t right to keep hiding his thoughts.

So he said, "I was thinking, maybe I should take a few days off when we get back to Bin Hai."

"Take a few days off?"

Shen Siyuan nodded and said, "Hmm, the incident in Xiajing made quite a stir, so I want to enhance my strength as soon as possible, and take a few days off for cultivation."

Ruan Hongzhuang thought to herself, you are already so powerful, yet you still want to improve, that must be terrifyingly strong.

"Do you want me to join you?"

"No need, I am heading to some wilderness areas, it’s more convenient to go alone. By the way, remember to practice the ’Embrace the Wind and Sleep’ I taught you last night," Shen Siyuan instructed.

Last night when he returned, Ruan Hongzhuang blushed with excitement upon seeing him. After a restless night, her curiosity got the better of her, incessantly asking questions until Shen Siyuan eventually taught her ’Embrace the Wind and Sleep’ to quell her curiosity.

"Got it, but have you considered quitting your job to join my company?" Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"To your company?"

"Yes, it would make things more convenient for you, and most importantly, I could see you anytime," Ruan Hongzhuang said with a joyful smile.

She thought it was a brilliant idea.

However, Shen Siyuan shook his head upon hearing this.

"They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. Being together all the time will soon make us grow tired of each other. Besides, what would I do at your company? I don’t understand anything your company does," Shen Siyuan said.

His words displeased Ruan Hongzhuang.

She glanced at him and said, "Are you already finding me annoying in just a few days?"

"I didn’t say that."

"Then you think you’ll find me annoying later?"

"Of course not, you’re so beautiful, how could I possibly find you annoying?" Shen Siyuan quickly replied.

"Hehe, you do have a way with words."

Ruan Hongzhuang knew Shen Siyuan made sense. Even living with parents for too long could become bothersome, let alone with someone unrelated by blood.

But annoyance does not equate to dislike. Emotions are like a cup of wine; they become purer with time, though they’re not as intense as when first tasted.

Meanwhile, Dou Dou ran off to play with Duoduo.

At that moment, she was talking with Duoduo’s mother.

Song Qingwei was actually quite curious about Dou Dou and Xiao Yue’s backgrounds.

"My name is Dou Dou, I’m three and a half years old, and I’m Sister Duoduo’s best friend."

Dou Dou squatted on the ground, looking up at Song Qingwei.

As for the ’best friend,’ that was her own declaration.

Seeing the chubby little Dou Dou squatting there, true to her name like a little bean, Song Qingwei felt a surge of delight.

"You’re so cute, which area is your home from?" Song Qingwei asked.

Dou Dou looked at her blankly, not understanding what she meant. Home is home, homes don’t have feet, how could they run around?

Thinking this, the image of a house growing feet popped into her head, and she couldn’t help but laugh.

Song Qingwei couldn’t quite understand what she was laughing about, but Xiao Yue, who was nearby, understood that Dou Dou was probably being "silly" again.

So, she explained, "We are all from Bin Hai."

"No matter the misfortunes of the past, meeting Mr. Shen was your good fortune, and you should get along well with Duoduo in the future."

Song Qingwei was skilled in conversation, carefully avoiding asking how they had died.

Their passing at such a young age must have been a painful memory, and direct questions would have been thoughtless.

"Once we get back, I’ll be able to see my mom and dad," Dou Dou suddenly said, squatting next to her.

She had learned to control the Netherworld Fire on her head, and Shen Siyuan no longer restricted her from being visible in front of her parents. She now couldn’t wait to tell everyone in the world.

Although Song Qingwei did not understand her meaning, she was still happy for her.

"When your parents see you, they will certainly be very happy," she said.

Just as she felt when she reunited with Duoduo, that surprise of regaining what was lost touched her deeply.

After all, which parents do not love their children?

Xiao Yue quietly walked away upon hearing this.
