“Um, that! That was just an accident back then…”
Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s way of addressing him, Xiao Yan immediately remembered what happened in the past. He quickly climbed off Xiao Yu and frantically waved his hands, his face turning red as he tried to defend himself.
“But you did see everything back then, didn’t you?”
Xiao Yu smiled and sat up, instantly extinguishing Xiao Yan’s defense, the young man lowered his head, feeling dejected.
“I- I’m sorry…”
“Hahaha~”
Seeing Xiao Yan’s expression, resembling a child who had done something wrong and was caught by his parents, Xiao Yu burst into laughter.
Although this boy before her had grown into a more mature and stable man over time, there was one aspect that hadn’t changed at all since the past~
“Hmm?!”
Suddenly, Xiao Yu’s expression changed drastically. He grabbed Xiao Yan’s shoulders tightly and stared at him with furrowed eyebrows, his burning gaze making Xiao Yan feel uneasy.
“Xiao Yan- you0 you’ve regained your Dou Qi back? And you’ve reached the Dou Zhe realm (2nd Level)?!”
“Yes, I just broke through a few days ago.”
Xiao Yan nodded and admitted it. Xiao Yu’s face showed surprise at first, followed by deep joy.
Before coming here, Xiao Yu was worried about the matter regarding solving Xiao Yan’s Dou Qi dilemma, but she didn’t expect that she didn’t need to worry about it at all!
Although she didn’t know what had happened exactly, this outcome undoubtedly filled Xiao Yu with immense joy.
“That’s great!”
Excited, Xiao Yu hugged Xiao Yan tightly, feeling the nearly mature and voluptuous body of Xiao Yu pressed right against his face. Xiao Yan’s face, which had just recovered from embarrassment, turned red again, and there was even faint white steam rising from his head.
“Um, um, Xiao Yu!”
On the verge of losing consciousness due to the lack of air, Xiao Yan tried his best to push Xiao Yu away and changed the subject, pointing his finger to the mountain.
“We happen to be having lunch up there. Xiao Yu, let’s eat together.”
“Hmm?” Xiao Yu was taken aback, tilting her head slightly. “Why are we having lunch on the mountain?”
“In the past few months, we have been busy doing a lot of intense training, so we can’t just let everyone casually run down the mountain. Apart from me taking a few people down the mountain every few days to buy more food ingredients, we’ve been staying on the mountain for the last three months.”
After saying that, Xiao Yan picked up the scattered firewood from the ground and led Xiao Yu through the thick bushes, slowly walking in a certain direction.
As Xiao Yu saw the direction where he was going, she blinked slightly.
Isn’t this where we used to…
As Xiao Yu had guessed, Xiao Yan brought Xiao Yu to the hot spring they had discovered together as young children, the very place where Xiao Yu had called Xiao Yan a little pervert.
At the hot spring, the Xiao Clan members were busy with their own tasks, either cutting vegetables or boiling water, completely engrossed in their work, no one noticed Xiao Yu’s arrival.
It was then that Xiao Yu noticed that although the Xiao Clan member’s clothes were relatively clean, they were mostly torn and tattered. Xiao Yu also noticed that Xiao Yan’s clothes were in a similar state.
Could it be that none of them have returned home even once in these three months?
Xiao Yu’s eyebrows trembled, and at that moment, Xiao Yan approached everyone with the firewood and greeted them.
“Everyone! Look who’s here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Xiao Clan members who were busy with their work turned their gazes towards Xiao Yan and saw Xiao Yu following behind him. Joy filled their faces.
“Big sis, you’re back?!”
Yes, Big sis. That’s the unanimous title the Xiao Clan member used for Xiao Yu because she was the oldest among them.
“Big sis! It’s been a long time!”
