Yan Zheke woke up at 5:30 PM. She put on Lou Chengs t-shirt and shorts to take a shower and came back to the room to change into her own clothes.
She pointed at her wrinkled shirt and complained, Its your fault! Get me an iron.
How can I go out like this? How can I go home like this?
Our iron broke two days ago Lou Cheng looked up blankly and then a grin appeared on his face. Dont worry. I got this.
Ahh? Yan Zheke gazed at her official husband, confused.
Lou Cheng reached out his right hand with a thin layer of white frost. As the ice melted, steam rose and heat rolled.
He pulled the shirt with his left hand and moved his right palm down slowly. The crumpled part became flat.
Yan Zhekes eyes shone brightly. She couldnt help complimenting him.
Cheng, your supernatural ability is becoming more and more practical. Youve unlocked this new function.
Ever since I perceived the root pulp, my control of the ice and fire supernatural ability has become better, answered Lou Cheng humbly. Thank you, Coach Yan!
Spending loads of time on Taoist training materials lately, he liked to summarize his attitude changing, emotion precipitating, and determination firming since he had become a married man as an achievement of their paired practice.
Yan Zheke pursed her lips and turned her head away, her eyes narrowed. She suddenly turned back to gaze at Lou Cheng with a suspicious look.
I feel there is another meaning in your compliment Hmm You didnt care about the fake pot. You sneakily set up a trap for me.
Not at all. I didnt want to bother the military at the beginning, though they are also looking for the Nine Words Formula. When I received this fake pot, I found it amusing and wanted to share with you. Then I realized that we would have quite some free time and that we could do something Lou Cheng explained with a smile. We havent gotten intimate for days.
What if What if I didnt feel like it today? Yan Zheke fixed her hair as she threw a glare at him.
Lou Cheng laughed with his both palms facing up. We could browse some forums and Weibo together, talk, and go shopping around four or five. We have plenty things to do together.
Belated effort! Yan Zheke raised her chin, the corners of her eyes curved upward.
She stood up and walked to the door, glancing at Lou Cheng, amused and annoyed.
Why did you lock the door As if you were a bad guy!
Just in case What if my mom didnt stay with my aunt tonight or my dad came back early and opened my door to check if I was home? That would be super awkward When we are busy, my Absolute Reaction to our lovemaking I cant pay much attention to anything else, like footsteps or the sound of the key answered Lou Cheng with a grin.
But it would be just as awkward if they found out your door was locked from inside Yan Zheke tilted her head, puzzled.
No. Look. We are in a relationship that has been approved by our parents. It is perfectly normal for us to lock the door and make out once in a while. It would be odd if we didnt get intimate at all. No one knows how far we have gone anyway. Lou Cheng reached out his hand to tidy up her hair.
You sound so experienced Yan Zheke rolled her eyes and checked Lou Cheng up and down.
Hahah I read a lot online. Its important to learn from others mistakes! Lou Cheng chuckled.
Hmm Mings Awkward Moments!
Two days later, the military still couldnt locate the wine pots origin. Lou Cheng changed into a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and collocated clothes and went to Yan familys villa by Back Water Lake with bags of presents.
It was so open and aboveboard compared to his first visit last summer.
If my grandparents ask you questions, give straight answers and dont circle about. They used to be teachers and dont like those showy, deceptive guys. Yan Zheke reminded Lou Cheng right before their arrival.
Lou Cheng didnt feel much pressure from visiting the grandparents. He pointed at himself with a grin.
I got in Songcheng University by myself. Your grandparents will love me for sure.
I was always one of the top five in high school. I even made it to the top three several times. I was a really good student, one of the top 20, if not top 10, of the grade. I did very well in the university entry exams.
Yesterdays sun cant dry todays clothes. Yan Zheke hit him gently with a laugh as she pushed the door open.
In the bright, spacious living room, Yan Kai on his day off was chatting with his parents, Yan Jihua and Gao Fen. When he heard the door-opening music, he rose to welcome his daughter and future son-in-law.
Ji Mingyu was at a very important business meeting. She would be back around dinner time.
Lou, welcome. Yan Kai managed tocalmly and warmly greet the bad boy who had stolen his smart, beautiful, and perfect daughter.
Hello, Uncle. Lou Cheng changed into slippers.
Dad, what are you doing? Cheng is not a guest Yan Zheke tried to loosen things up. She grabbed her husbands hand and led him towards the couch. She called in her sweetest voice, Grandpa, Grandma, Lou Cheng has brought you something.
Hello, Grandpa, Grandma Lou Cheng handed over the tea and original-proof spirits.
Heheh You shouldnt have. Lou, come and sit. Yan Jihua accepted the bags after a few seconds of looking him up and down.
As they each took a seat, he asked with a smile,
Lou, you also studied in Xiushan No.1 Middle School?
All parents are into these kinds of questionsLou Cheng thought before answering, Yes, I was just next door from Kes class. Every time they brought out our grade rankings, I always heard her name.
Cheng was always in the top 20, sometimes even top 10. I knew his name back then. Yan Zheke showed off his good results.
I heard his name but didnt remember. When he introduced himself outside the Martial Arts Club, I didnt feel familiar at all
Thats good. Yan Jihua and Gao Fen exchanged a glance with a nod.
Lou got in Songcheng University and they became schoolmates again, added Yan Kai.
Yan Zheke had told them this in the past, but they wanted to begin from this topic to avoid any potential awkwardness.
The well-read Yan Jihua asked, puzzled and curious,
Lou, how did you pick martial arts for your future?
It was by chance. I saw Ke in the Martial Arts Club and I had this impulse to join her After a few sessions, I realized I have some talent in this and thought that it shouldnt be wasted Lou Cheng answered honestly how he signed up for the Martial Arts Club in hopes of pursuing their granddaughter.
He didnt want to bring it up in front of his parents, but he hoped to show his affection and appreciation for Ke before her family.
I didnt know that Yan Kai laughed with mixed feelings.
Yan Jihua smiled genuinely and poked fun at him. Lou, you nurtured schemes
They chatted along about their past and Yan Zheke flushed a few times.
Lou, Ke is going to study abroad. She told me you planned to visit her often and practice martial arts there? Gao Fen was most concerned about this practical problem.
Yeah, I aim to fly over once per month and stay one to two weeks every time. Lou Cheng took a stand.
Yan Jihua nodded thoughtfully. I better hire you a chef. These days, the youths dont know how to cook. Foreign dishes are boring
I can cook some simple food. Lou Cheng couldnt resist showing off. Yan Zheke nodded like a chick picking grains.
Oh? What can you make? What are you good at? asked Yan Jihua out of curiosity.
Actually, just two dishes. One is noodle soup and the other is fried rice with eggs. Im pretty good at those. Lou Cheng made fun of himself.
The air around them suddenly froze as if some danger was brewing.
Yan Kai leaned back and muttered to himself,
Good at fried rice with eggs
Damn it! Its exposed! A past event came to his head and he came to a sudden realization. He turned around to Yan Zheke, who had the same shock in her eyes.
He had snuck into the Yan villa last summer and made out with Ke. They prepared breakfast very romantically but almost got caught by his father-in-law, who mistook the bowl of fried rice with eggs that was cooked by Ke for him and didnt notice Lou Chengs visit.
He It seemed he had just realized something
Youre bad. Why did you show off? In her room after lunch, Yan Zheke complained to Lou Cheng with a smile. I was so worried my dad would jump up and wield his scalpel
I completely forgot about it. Lou Cheng wiped off his imaginary cold sweat.
We should nevergo beyond ourselves!
A loud knock came, followed by Yan Kais clear voice. Ke, Lou, I have brought some fruits to you.
Thank you, Uncle. Lou Cheng walked over and opened the door, seeing his father-in-law standing there with a plate of delicately cut fruits.
Delicately cut
After the meeting with Yan Zhekes grandparents, the young couple continued with their normal lives. Once in a while, Lou Cheng would have a meal with the Yan family and Yan Zheke would visit the Lou family. Now and then, they would have a date and get intimate. Soon, it was July 14th. The military claimed to have some progress regarding the origin of the wine pot.
Lou Cheng packed his bag and stepped out of his room around noon.
My boy, good job. Youre taking Ke on a trip! Qi Fang nodded out of satisfaction, with no intention to urge him to stay.
Mom, dont look down upon your son. Lou Cheng shook his head while walking towards the door.
Destination: Huacheng!
The fight between the Dragon King and the Warrior Sage!
