In the Internet cafe, they did their homework for the night. A staff member came over to check them halfway, and saw the two 16- to 17-year-old teenagers who came to the Internet cafe and booked the box, they didn’t play games or get mushy in love.

Cheng Kangyao couldn’t bear it. At three o’clock, he fell asleep on the sofa. Su Xingchen was sitting cross-legged and meditated for a while. When she was energetic, she continued to work until the dawn was about to break. At that time, when the aura was most intense, she sat cross-legged and practiced again.

At more than nine in the morning, Cheng Kangyao woke up to find that Su Xingchen was no longer there. There was a breakfast and a note on the table, saying that she had gone to Teacher Zhao’s house for class, he should wake up and go home, she would go home after class.

Cheng Kangyao took the paper and ate the cold buns she had bought. Then he went to the school and sent her a WeChat “If you have something call me”. Then took a taxi with his hands in his pockets and went home.  

Early in the morning, Father Su called Su Xingchen again and asked her to come home today.

In fact, she didn’t quite understand why her father thought of telling her to go home. If he cared more about her, why hadn’t he thought of her before? Why did he suddenly care about her? She could feel it, he still cared a little bit about her.

Probably because she was his blood?

Today, Mr. Zhao’s family had something to do. There was no class in the afternoon, only half a day in the morning. At eleven o’clock, Mr. Zhao let them go home.

When she came out, she saw Zhao Moqin and his parents carrying a lot of things. The two met each other and said nothing, like strangers … no, they were strangers, passing by like that.

In fact, Su Xingchen was a bit regretful to him, because she acted inappropriately when she was young. It caused him some unreasonable troubles. She was sorry.

But he didn’t seem to be bothered by it, she was relieved. 

She stayed outside until five o’clock in the evening. Father Su called her again and asked her why she hadn’t returned yet. She carried her schoolbag and paced to the Su’s house slowly.

She left the key the day she left home. She stood at the door and rang the bell, which was opened by her little aunt.

The little aunt was very similar to Father Su. She had to lose a lot of weight. But she was older than Mother Su, her face was yellowish, and she had wrinkles.

When she saw Su Xingchen coming back, she smiled enthusiastically, “Chen Chen is back? Just now your father was still nagging about you, saying why you haven’t returned yet.”

She looked into the house full of people.

Father Su, Mother Su, aunt and uncle, and grandparents came back and sat on the sofa watching TV.

There was a little kid in the family who had just gone to kindergarten. He was particularly troublesome. Almost the whole family was chasing behind his butt.

Seeing her coming in, the old lady lifted her eyes and said, “You, do you know how to come back? I think you have grown wings.”

The little aunt pushed her quickly. She said to the old lady, “What are you doing? It’s New Year’s Eve. She rarely comes back on holiday.”

The uncle also greeted Su Xingchen on the sofa with a smile.

There were seeds on the coffee table, and she grabbed a handful of seeds and placed them in front of Su Xingchen.

Su Xingchen’s original slippers were now worn by her aunt. Without slippers, she wore socks and stepped directly on the floor tiles.

When she came back from the Xianxia world, she was no longer afraid of the cold.

Father Su was cooking in the kitchen. When he came out, he was very happy to see Su Xingchen back.

“Chen Chen, you’re back? Are you hungry? The last dish is getting cooked, dinner will be ready soon.”

Her aunt quickly went to the kitchen to help with the dishes. In winter, the dishes easily got cold, so she filled the large table with food.

The Su family’s table had only six seats. Even if the chairs in Su Xingyang and Su Xingyue’s room were moved out, it was still not enough for everyone to sit.

Her uncle and aunt were guests and must eat at the table. The old man and old lady were sitting on their seats, Mother and Father Su sat on their own. Su Xingyue was sitting beside Mother Su on the corner, leaving Su Xingchen and their aunt’s daughter Sun Ya unable to sit.

Sun Ya was two years younger than Su Xingchen. She had become accustomed to having no place in her uncle’s house. She carried a bowl of rice and held dishes, and then sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Su Xingyang watched Su Xingchen standing. He quickly stood up and called Su Xingchen, “Second sister, sit here.”

He was pulled back by the old lady, “Sit!”

The aunt saw that her nephew was taller than her, so it wasn’t decent to let her stand like that. She also stood up, “Chen Chen come sit.”

She was accustomed to it at home since childhood, and was sensible.

His sister was a guest now, how could Father Su ask her to empty a seat? He stood up and pulled Su Xingchen to his place to sit down and said to everyone, “You eat first, I will go to the kitchen to cook two dishes for you.”

She sat upright and ate her own meal.

The old lady looked at her and her face darkened.
