"I've been rooting for your CP, and finally, you guys made it." I teased jokingly.
Xiao Li blushed shyly, "Chen Yuanyuan, your mouth is getting naughtier."
"I really always ship your CP, I'm a fan of your CP," I said sincerely, "After all, whenever you sweeten the deal, I might get lucky and snag a bite of the lunch you make with love."
Xiao Li's face was so red that capillaries were visible, her palms continuously fanning to cool down.
Longting came over, his cheeks still flushed. "Can we set off now?"
"Let's go," Yu Longting said indifferently, as if he was indifferent to the matters at hand.
He seemed like the family elder just now, the one protecting Longting was not someone else.
Longting approached Yu Longting, "Why the rush? We just came back from the Gu Sect."
Given Longting's worried look, he probably feared something might happen to the Lin Family.
"The Lin Family didn't mention any issues, just asked me to come back immediately," I told Longting.
Longting's gaze darkened slightly, and he nodded at me.
After he saw Yu Longting and me into the car, Longting briefly apologized to Xiao Li, "Sorry, I can't stay with you again."
"It's okay, when you're free, we can still video call," Xiao Li said with a very understanding smile, pushing Longting into the car herself.
Just then, a shadow darted onto the car.
Yu Longting was sitting by the side and coldly lifted his foot.
A cry of pain, "Ouch," was heard.
The shadow rolled off the car like a tumbling calabash.
Although he had taken a tumble.
The shadow quickly got up with a frisk, clinging to the car door, not letting the car drive away, "Brother~ Big Brother~ take me with you~"
"Do you know where were are going?" Yu Longting dusted off the creases on his trouser leg, his mischievous dark eyes lifting, seeming ready to kick Rongling at any moment.
Rongling, looking like he wanted to crawl into the car but not daring to offend his brother, pleaded sorrowfully, "I want to go and visit relatives with sister-in-law."
"Why didn't you say that the relatives are from Lin's Exorcist Family? Are you scared?" Yu Longting scoffed contemptuously, "It's laughable, a snake demon keen on sneaking into Lin Family territory."
Rongling, not relenting, "Aren't you a snake demon yourself? As if the people of the Lin family are fond of you."
"I'm asking you one last time, leave or not." Under Rongling's incessant pestering, Yu Longting's last bit of patience finally ran out, a sinister aura enveloping the whole car.
Rongling's expression stiffened, and he obediently backed off.
The car finally drove off smoothly.
I felt that Yu Longting's decision to not let Rongling come with us was correct, ever since I picked up that call from Lin Huan, my heart had been unsettled.
I felt that this trip back to the Lin family was not going to be simple.
Intuition told me... the fewer people going, the better...
Yu Longting is the person linked with my fate, not just this time.
For the rest of our lives, we will be together...
As for Longting...
"Longting, how long have you and Xiao Li been apart this time?" I asked Longting.
"About a week," Longting replied while driving.
I pondered, "You came back yesterday, how come you didn't go to see her?"
This separation has been long enough.
From when Yu Longting woke up and searched for me, Longting followed along.
The two of them hadn't seen each other ever since, and just when they returned, they had to leave with Yu Longting and me again.
It's no wonder Xiao Li rushed to kiss Longting regardless of the situation.
They have been apart too often.
"I instructed Longting to take care of something and he didn't have time to see his loved one," Yu Longting glanced at me, his eyes lowering to my hand which he was now used to holding, and he said with a light smile, "Longting, once you drop us at the airport, that's all you need to do. Being the Living Dead, your status is ambiguous, and it's not suitable for you to step onto Lin territory."
