"I'm back."
Liu Nanfeng pulled Gugu into the house. Su Jinxiu was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and Su Huamei was doing yoga.
"You're immortal, what's the point of doing this?"
It was fine when he didn't know their identities. After knowing their identities, he always felt that some things they did were particularly out of place.
"Yoga isn't for exercise, it's for calming the mind." Su Huamei shot him a glance, a look that was truly alluring and full of charm.
"Let's eat. Gugu must be hungry too?" Su Jinxiu stood up.
"Gugu."
Gugu looked at the juice on the table. She didn't want to eat right now; she wanted to drink. She had eaten too many salted peanuts.
"You want to drink?" Su Huamei noticed her gaze and asked.
This was what she had prepared for herself before doing yoga.
Gugu nodded. She was really thirsty, even though she had already drunk a bottle of mineral water.
"If you drink this, you won't be able to eat." Su Huamei added.
Gugu remained silent, still looking at her pitifully with her bright, large eyes.
Perhaps it was because she couldn't speak, but Gugu's large eyes were exceptionally good at expressing her emotions, as if they could speak.
As a result, everyone often understood what she wanted to convey by looking at her eyes, even overlooking the fact that she couldn't speak.
As expected, after drinking a large glass of juice, Gugu only ate a few small bites at dinner and couldn't eat anymore.
After dinner, Su Jinxiu couldn't wait to enter Guanshanhai. She had prepared everything at home during the day.
She had not only bought clothes and food but also pots and pans from the supermarket downstairs.
"From now on, you'll be living with Auntie." Su Jinxiu happily patted Gugu's little head.
Once she entered Guanshanhai, they could keep each other company.
After saying that, she eagerly asked Liu Nanfeng to let her enter Guanshanhai.
"Are you that anxious?" Liu Nanfeng said speechlessly.
He suddenly felt as if he had been used and then casually discarded.
"You be good by yourself. Remember to come visit me when you have time." Su Jinxiu stepped forward, stood on her tiptoes, and lightly kissed Liu Nanfeng's lips.
Liu Nanfeng always felt that her attitude was like coaxing a child. Was she using him as a practice run? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Seeing Su Jinxiu kiss Liu Nanfeng, Gugu next to them quickly raised her little hands to cover her eyes, then secretly peeked through her large fingers.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll take care of big brother. I'll take good care of him."
Su Huamei, standing beside them, hooked her arm around Liu Nanfeng's, intentionally provoking Su Jinxiu.
But Su Jinxiu just shot her a glare and said nothing. She was in a good mood now and didn't want to argue with her.
Su Huamei's punch missed its target, and she pouted in dissatisfaction. Annoying her elder sister was her small life's pleasure, but now that this pleasure was deprived, how could she be happy?
Liu Nanfeng, worried that Su Huamei would say something else to provoke Su Jinxiu, quickly summoned Guanshanhai and swept them away.
Su Jinxiu and Gugu immediately disappeared before them. Then he collected all the large pile of things Su Jinxiu had prepared into the painting, and with another sweep, he rolled himself and Su Huamei into the painting as well.
Upon arriving in the world of Guanshanhai, the two of them helped Su Jinxiu unpack.
Gugu seemed particularly excited, running back and forth to help. Although she didn't help much, she didn't cause any trouble.
"Gugu..."
Gugu was so happy she wanted to flap her wings and fly in the air.
After their busy efforts, the previously empty house finally looked like a home, with everything in its place.
"Alright, since we're all done, you can all go back now." Su Jinxiu began to usher them out once there was nothing left to do.
"Huh? It's okay for me to stay here with you."
"No need, and besides..."
Su Jinxiu touched her belly. She wouldn't allow any accidents before the baby was born.
"You're just pregnant. It's not that serious." Liu Nanfeng was also speechless.
"Why isn't it serious? Hurry up and go, don't disturb Gugu and my rest." Su Jinxiu started to shoo them away.
Yes, Gugu had also moved into Su Jinxiu's room to keep her company.
"Alright." Liu Nanfeng was very helpless. With a thought, he and Su Huamei exited the painting.
However, the moment they left the painting, Liu Nanfeng's peripheral vision seemed to catch Su Jinxiu giving Su Huamei a look.
So, as soon as they came out, Liu Nanfeng curiously asked Su Huamei, "What did your sister say to you?"
"What?" Su Huamei blinked her large eyes, looking bewildered.
"Alright, maybe I was mistaken."
Seeing her like this, Liu Nanfeng assumed he had misread the situation.
Just then, Su Huamei suddenly leaned in and hooked his arm.
"Brother-in-law, you belong to me for this month."
After saying that, she pulled him towards the house.
"Wait, wait, let's talk slowly."
Liu Nanfeng was a little flustered. He had been a bit injured these past few days, but as soon as Su Jinxiu left, Su Huamei came.
"Don't worry, we'll talk slowly in the room." Su Huamei giggled and directly dragged him into the room.
"I haven't showered yet."
"I don't mind."
"I mind. Go wash up."
"You've gotten too arrogant after not being disciplined for a few days, haven't you?"
Then there was a rustling sound.
The next day, Liu Nanfeng woke up from his dream to hear Su Huamei singing in the living room, sounding very cheerful.
Liu Nanfeng sat up, feeling a sense of emptiness.
He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and left the room. He saw Su Huamei in an apron, busy preparing breakfast.
"You're up. Go brush your teeth and wash your face. Breakfast will be ready soon."
"Okay."
Looking at Su Huamei's beautiful face and energetic body, Liu Nanfeng's mood also brightened.
It was as if he had returned to the days when they were alone together.
"Do you want to go to the shop with me this morning?" Su Huamei asked during breakfast.
Liu Nanfeng shook his head.
"I'm going to see Jinxiu to see if she needs anything, and then I have something to do this afternoon."
"Okay."
Su Huamei didn't insist when she heard this, nor did she ask him what he had planned for the afternoon.
After breakfast, Su Huamei left. Liu Nanfeng immediately entered the painting.
For Liu Nanfeng, only one night had passed, but for Su Jinxiu and Gugu, five days had already gone by.
So, the first time Liu Nanfeng promised Gugu he would visit soon, she was too angry to pay attention to him during their second meeting.
Liu Nanfeng entered Guanshanhai and saw Su Jinxiu sitting in the flower garden. Gugu was nestled in her arms, listening to her read a picture book. It looked very heartwarming.
Liu Nanfeng walked over softly, but he still startled them, and they both looked up at him.
"You're here." Su Jinxiu stood up happily.
"Gugu." She also waved her little hand. The little girl looked very energetic.
This was likely due to Su Jinxiu's careful companionship these past few days.
"You even bought picture books?" Liu Nanfeng asked in surprise.
"Yes, it can help teach Gugu while also being prenatal education."
It seemed Su Jinxiu had thought of everything. But was prenatal education too early? It had only been a few days.
"It's good that you're here. I've found that we're missing a few things these past few days. Let's go buy them together."
As Su Jinxiu spoke, she pulled out a piece of paper from the picture book, densely packed with items that needed to be purchased.
So, the two of them, with Gugu, left Guanshanhai and went to a nearby supermarket for a shopping spree. They spent the entire morning busy until all the items were ready.
After lunch, Su Jinxiu took Gugu back into Guanshanhai. It seemed she couldn't bear to spend any more time in the real world.
Liu Nanfeng cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, then remembered he had an appointment with Xiaoliyu's mother that afternoon. He had almost forgotten, so he hurried to the riverbank.
