As Yang Feilong and Yang Qingqing emerged from the bedroom, one after the other, Yang Shan and Li Jingyun watched them with wistful expressions.
“Ahem, Mom, Dad, I was just calling my brother,” Yang Qingqing explained with a slight stiffness in her expression and a sheepish smile. She had assumed that at this early hour, her parents wouldn’t be awake yet, but to her surprise, they were already up and had breakfast prepared.
“We didn’t sleep at all last night!” Li Jingyun, though not in the best spirits after a sleepless night, had a satisfied smile in her eyes that proved she was actually in a good mood.
Yang Qingqing, of course, had no idea that her father’s physical condition had improved overnight thanks to the medicine given to him by her brother. The old man, feeling like a young man again, had been active until the middle of the night. Just as he was about to sleep, he remembered his son was leaving today, so he got up, despite his fatigue, to make breakfast for Yang Feilong. He planned to catch up on sleep after breakfast.
Upon hearing her mother’s words, Yang Qingqing’s eyes widened in shock. Slept not at all? Were they catching them in the act?
“What I meant was, I went to talk to my brother yesterday, and, uh, we ended up chatting all night,” Yang Qingqing changed her story.
“Chatting all night,” Yang Shan said with a wistful expression. Did they think he and his wife were fools? If they were truly brother and sister, perhaps they might believe it, but were they?
“Ahem, Mom, Dad, well, I should be going,” Yang Feilong, noticing his sister’s awkwardness, interrupted his parents’ questioning with a sheepish chuckle. He actually suspected his parents might have already figured out that their relationship as siblings was not so pure. As for their sleepless night, he could tell from the fleeting look of satisfaction on his mother’s face that his father had likely taken the medicine he’d given him and had a good time.
“Fine, you two decide for yourselves how you want to proceed. If you accidentally have a child, remember not to abort it. It’s not good for Qingqing’s health,” Li Jingyun sighed and said earnestly.
“Ah!” Yang Qingqing’s face immediately turned bright red. “Mom, what are you talking about?” But seeing her mother’s expression, as if to say, ‘Keep going, let’s see what you can come up with. Don’t you think I can see the satisfaction on your face?’ Li Jingyun never imagined that her daughter, though a girl in name, was no longer just a girl. This was because the path they were on was not one trodden by ordinary people.
“Naughty brother, it’s all your fault!” Yang Qingqing pinched Yang Feilong’s waist in embarrassment and anger.
“Ahem.” Yang Feilong winced. He had told her to go back last night, but she refused. Now she was blaming him? Well, his sister was a little flustered and embarrassed now, so he naturally wouldn’t hold it against her.
The couple had initially harbored some doubts about whether the two were truly innocent, but upon hearing Yang Qingqing’s petulant words, they understood clearly: their little cabbage had indeed been ‘plowed’ by their own pig. The husband and wife exchanged glances, their hearts filled with a complex mix of emotions. It was neither appropriate to scold nor to argue, and happiness? That didn’t seem appropriate either. For now, it was best to remain calm. This was also partly thanks to the heads-up Yang Qingqing had given them last night; otherwise, they might not have accepted it so readily.
Watching Feilong and Qingqing serving each other food and feeding each other, Yang Shan and Li Jingyun looked on with wistful expressions. At this point, they were already disregarding others, weren't they?
“Wife, have some dish too!” Yang Shan noticed his wife’s expression wasn’t great and served her a piece of vegetable.
“Don’t I have hands?” Li Jingyun huffed.
Yang Shan: “……”
Yang Feilong felt a little guilty, but Yang Qingqing continued as if nothing had happened. “Brother, try this. It’s your favorite.”
“Sister, this is also very good. Mom’s cooking is amazing,” Yang Feilong saw how proactive his sister was and knew he couldn’t back down now that he was leaving soon. So, he also served his sister, and of course, he didn’t forget to praise his mother’s cooking.
“Ahem, I cooked that dish,” Yang Shan said wistfully at this moment.
Yang Feilong’s hand trembled slightly: “……” No wonder Mom’s face turned so dark when I praised her just now. I praised the wrong person! But this was normal. Few men cook, but those who do are usually very skilled. Weren’t most chefs in high-end hotels and restaurants men?
“Pfft!” Yang Qingqing couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene.
Yang Feilong looked at his sister speechlessly. Sister, is this okay? If you laugh any more, do you believe that an embarrassed and angry mother might pick up a knife and chop me?
Perhaps it was because their parents were worried that Yang Feilong wouldn’t be back for the New Year after he left. Therefore, even breakfast was very lavish. Because they had exercised the night before, and both were cultivators, Yang Feilong and Yang Qingqing had large appetites, especially Yang Feilong. This made Yang Shan and Li Jingyun somewhat happy, as their efforts were not in vain. Of course, if the young couple hadn't been so openly affectionate, they might have been even happier. However, seeing them so engrossed in each other, some of their reservations had been somewhat alleviated. After all, their children had grown up, and any further interference from them would only lead to resentment and be meaningless. As long as they were happy together, that was enough.
……
After breakfast, Yang Feilong was escorted to the main door by the three of them.
“Be careful on your journey!”
“Be safe when you handle your business!” The couple spoke formally.
Yang Qingqing, however, was different. She rushed into Yang Feilong’s arms, her face filled with reluctance. Perhaps it was because their parents had discovered their relationship, Yang Qingqing no longer hid it and directly embraced her brother, kissing him. Yang Feilong’s expression stiffened slightly, but since his sister was being so proactive, how could he let her bear the parents’ gaze alone? Thus, he returned her embrace and kissed his sister.
Seeing the two passionately kissing each other as if no one else was around early in the morning, Yang Shan and Li Jingyun found it unbearable.
Yang Shan: “Scandalous!”
Li Jingyun: “They’re actually so shameless!”
The couple, naturally uncomfortable, cursed under their breath. Their sadness was replaced by annoyance, and they turned back into the house, preparing to catch up on sleep.
After a long kiss, Yang Feilong broke away from his sister Yang Qingqing’s passionate embrace. He worried that if they didn’t stop, dawn would break. Although he didn’t care about being seen, the promise he had made needed to be kept. Yang Qingqing looked at him with a hint of resentment but knew when to stop.
“Brother husband, remember to miss me!” Yang Qingqing looked at Yang Feilong, her voice filled with deep affection.
“Sister wife, I will always think of you, thinking of you every moment,” Yang Feilong knew his sister liked sweet talk. He kissed her face twice and said gently.
“Then be careful on your journey,” Yang Qingqing got off Yang Feilong and helped him adjust his clothes.
“You go back too!” Yang Feilong said gently, looking at his sister. Then, suppressing his reluctance, Yang Feilong got into the car, started it, and quietly drove away into the night, carrying his sister’s boundless affection with him. Yang Qingqing only let out a soft sigh until Yang Feilong’s car completely disappeared from sight. She then turned back into the house. Without her brother’s company, she would mostly spend her time cultivating, hoping to catch up to his cultivation level soon so they could cultivate together and truly become one! Instead of being together in a way that deviated from the norm.
