Chapter 515 - 513: Return to Lotus Village (Part 2)
"Huh?"
The two of them froze simultaneously, feeling a bit embarrassed, especially Shen Yan, whose face was flushed red.
It was she who had reached out first just now, and thinking about it now, she felt she wasn’t very reserved. Chen Tianlong was also a bit awkward.
"Aha, little sister, just now your brother was trying to blow into big sister’s eye, she got sand in it." Chen Tianlong said deliberately.
Then he gave Shen Yan a wink. After all, doing this in front of the children wouldn’t set a good example, and if they talked about it to their family, they might expose the lie.
"Hehe, yes, your Tianlong brother was blowing my eyes, just one blow and it’s all better, he’s amazing." Shen Yan cooperated with Chen Tianlong in lying for the first time. Although it felt weird, her heart was sweet, realizing how happy it is to have a man playfully collaborate with her.
"Oh, I see." Clearly, the children believed them, they are just pure and don’t think too much.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and began to head towards the village.
"Bro, are we almost at grandpa’s house? I’m so happy!" Mo Jing was also very excited.
This time coming back, they forgot to bring some gifts for the children, but luckily Mrs. Zhang’s small shop in the village is open, so they can give each child a few dollars to buy snacks themselves.
Sure enough, when they reached Old Chen’s house, the children looked eagerly at Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly and took out his wallet. He initially intended to take out a hundred yuan, but after thinking about it, he decided not to spoil them, so he took out a twenty, enough for the five children to have four yuan each.
"Here! Go buy some candy, and remember to share equally, okay?" Chen Tianlong said with a sweet smile.
"Mm-hmm, thank you, Tianlong brother," they all said in unison and then turned to run towards the shop, making Chen Tianlong smile wryly again. Childhood is truly carefree.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong turned around to look at the strangely familiar Shen Yan, not knowing what to say.
Earlier, during their escape, they didn’t feel anything, but now that it was quiet, he suddenly realized he had brought a beautiful woman back. If Old Chen saw her, he would definitely think he had brought back a wife.
"Um, Shen Yan, let’s go in, this is Old Chen’s house." Chen Tianlong said with a faint smile.
"Oh, alright... but, um, Chen Tianlong, can you not call me by my full name, it feels a bit strange. Just call me Shen Yan."
Beside Chen Tianlong, Shen Yan inexplicably turned into a well-behaved girl. Such a woman who kills without blinking is now so gentle to a man, it’s simply incredible.
Could this be the legendary saying that one thing overcomes another?
Chen Tianlong is her nemesis. Although her strength is much higher than Chen Tianlong’s, she always feels he might be stronger. Beside him, Shen Yan inexplicably feels a mysterious sense of security.
"Hehe, of course, Xiaoyan, Xiaojing, let’s go inside, not sure if Old Chen is at home." Chen Tianlong said with an easy smile.
"...." Shen Yan was speechless, finding it more awkward to hear, so she said, "Just stick to my original name."
"OK, Shen Yan, let’s go in." Chen Tianlong said with a smile.
Shen Yan nodded like an obedient wife and followed Chen Tianlong into the house.
At that moment, Chen Tian was picking herbs inside the house. Hearing noise outside, he quickly moved to the small window, peered out, and immediately recognized Chen Tianlong.
"Wow, this kid is back and didn’t even let me know, what’s he up to?" Chen Tian thought.
However, in the next moment, he saw a girl behind Chen Tianlong, a tall and lively girl, just the kind he likes.
As for Mo Jing, Chen Tianlong had already informed Old Chen, so he knew he had a little sister.
"Did this kid bring back a girlfriend?" Thinking this, he couldn’t wait to step out the door but acted oblivious.
"Old Chen, I’m back!" Chen Tianlong shouted when he saw Old Chen suddenly appear.
"Ah? Tianlong, you’re on vacation? Why didn’t you tell me earlier, I didn’t make extra food for you." Chen Tian said nonchalantly. After all, when he came to pick up Mo Jing, he mentioned he would be in school for a year.
"Oh... actually, I’ve already eaten."
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly, having just returned from a meal in Celestial Sea City, but suddenly remembered Shen Yan, so he turned around and asked, "Shen Yan, how about you?"
"I... I haven’t eaten yet."
Shen Yan initially wanted to say she had eaten, fearing it would trouble the others to cook, but she suddenly realized she was so rushed following Chen Tianlong that she forgot to eat, now her stomach was empty, so she had to tell the truth.
Otherwise, she might wake up hungry in the middle of the night.
"Ah? Is that so, then..." Chen Tianlong just wanted to say something but was interrupted by Old Chen.
"What are you talking about? Go up the mountain to hunt some game and cook for your wife." Old Chen had already decided this beautiful girl was Chen Tianlong’s girlfriend. If Chen Tianlong didn’t want her, he’d be silly.
"Huh? Old Chen, this is Shen Yan, she..."
"What do you mean she? Didn’t you hear Shen Yan say she hasn’t eaten yet? The sun is setting, do you want to hunt in the middle of the night? If your wife goes hungry, I’ll hold you accountable." Old Chen gave Chen Tianlong a stern look.
The conversation between the grandfather and grandson made Shen Yan’s cheeks burn, as red as a boiled lobster. She was about to speak: "I..."
"Shen Yan, are you thirsty? I’ll get you a cup of hot water." Without waiting for Shen Yan to explain, Old Chen ran into the house, leaving her speechless. She turned to see Chen Tianlong’s wry smile and shrugged, indicating there was nothing she could do.
"Shen Yan, I’m sorry, Old Chen is like this, calling people without understanding the situation, please don’t mind." Chen Tianlong said with a wry smile.
"Oh, it’s fine. I think Old Chen is great, very cute and kind." Shen Yan not only didn’t get angry but also praised Old Chen, surprising Chen Tianlong.
"Hehe, alright then."
Since she said so, he couldn’t be indifferent.
So, Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and said, "Then I’ll go hunt on the mountain, and I’ll make roasted meat for you."
"Uh... wait, can I go with you?"
Shen Yan really wanted to stay with Chen Tianlong and didn’t want to wait alone in the house. Moreover, she knew her own condition—she couldn’t show her strength in front of others but should be fine with Chen Tianlong.
If she followed Chen Tianlong up the mountain and accidentally encountered danger, she could still step in to help.
Shortly after, Chen Tian came out with a glass of water, smiling at Shen Yan, "Wifey, must be thirsty, drink this while it’s hot, it’s a bit cold out."
Indeed, the southern winter can be cold too. Although it wasn’t yet evening, the temperature would drop. Compared to the north, this temperature of seven or eight degrees is nothing.
But for the south, it’s already quite chilly.
"Tianlong, aren’t you going hunting, what are you waiting for?"
Old Chen turned to see Chen Tianlong standing there dumbly and couldn’t help getting annoyed. When his girlfriend finally visits, he was behaving so poorly; she might not dare to come back next time.
"Hehe, Old Chen, you can call me Shen Yan, and I want to go up the mountain with Chen Tianlong to hunt, I know some kung fu." Shen Yan didn’t show her strength but rather punched twice, looking quite professional.
