Chapter 211 Mundane Matters
Liu Nanfeng and Su Huamei returned home. Su Huamei first cleaned the withered flowers from the vase and then placed the paintings she had brought back into it.
Song Haitang knew that Su Jinxiu had a habit of tidying up flower branches to keep them alive, unlike those outside who would either throw them away directly or let them wither completely before discarding them.
Therefore, when she packed, she didn't wrap them as tightly as takeout, making them difficult to open.
While Su Huamei was arranging the flowers, Liu Nanfeng entered Guanshanhai.
The moment he entered, he felt a sense of harboring a treasure.
“Gugu… Gugu…”
As soon as he entered Guanshanhai, he heard continuous guguguing sounds.
She flapped her wings and was fluttering around the flower bushes, trampling them until they were crooked and tilted. Su Jinxiu stood beside her, smiling and clapping her hands in encouragement.
Liu Nanfeng waved his hand, and the flowers that had been stepped on stood upright again, becoming vibrant.
Sensing the anomaly, the two immediately noticed Liu Nanfeng's arrival.
“Husband.” Su Jinxiu beckoned him.
Gugu flapped her wings and wobbled to Liu Nanfeng, then tilted her small face up and looked at him expectantly.
Liu Nanfeng didn't skimp on his praise. He stroked her small head and said, “You’re doing great, keep it up, fly higher, fly farther.”
“Gugu.”
Gugu’s face showed a smile, pure and clean. It was an emotion emanating from the bottom of her heart, one that those around her could easily feel.
It was far from the numb, mask-like smiles she displayed when begging for alms on the streets in the "illusion."
“Gugu.”
Gugu called out again, her call different from before. Liu Nanfeng looked into her large, expressive eyes and immediately understood her meaning.
“The little koi has gone home,” Liu Nanfeng explained.
Gugu then nodded, turned, and ran off.
The little one was very smart. She knew Liu Nanfeng was looking for Su Jinxiu, so she didn’t disturb them and ran to the big tree to swing.
“What happened today?” Su Jinxiu asked directly as soon as they met.
“Huh?” Liu Nanfeng was a little surprised, not understanding why she asked.
“I feel like my power was borrowed,” Su Jinxiu explained.
Liu Nanfeng realized with a sudden understanding.
“I didn’t expect you to feel anything, even though your power is locked by the Pregnant Mother Grass.”
“It’s just locked, not gone. Besides, didn’t you notice it’s a loophole? I can’t use it myself, but you can borrow it,” Su Jinxiu said.
Liu Nanfeng was somewhat taken aback; he hadn’t considered that.
“You haven’t answered me, what happened?” Su Jinxiu pressed.
Liu Nanfeng pondered for a moment and then chose to tell the truth. Since Su Jinxiu trusted him and allowed him to see Zhu Yin’e, he should not hide anything from her.
So, he recounted everything that had happened that day, even mentioning how Chen Wenhhui had spoken up for him that evening.
Su Jinxiu’s expression remained unchanged after listening. Liu Nanfeng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just then, Su Jinxiu suddenly asked, “You tell me, who is prettier, me or the little koi’s mother?”
“Uh…”
As expected, she was jealous and not as nonchalant as she appeared.
“Of course, you’re prettier.”
Liu Nanfeng blurted it out without thinking. At this moment, any hesitation would indicate a problem with his brain.
“Big liar, you just know how to coax me into being happy.”
Su Jinxiu gave him a charming sidelong glance. She seemed dismissive, but her face was full of smiles.
“How are you? Are you used to it here? Do you need anything else?” Liu Nanfeng asked, holding her hand.
“It’s pretty good, and Gugu is here with me. It’s just that our supplies are being consumed too quickly. Bring some more in.”
“How much is left? Can you do it tomorrow?” Liu Nanfeng asked urgently.
When he said tomorrow, he meant tomorrow in the current world. It was past eleven o’clock now. After a night, it would likely be five or six days in the Guanshanhai world by tomorrow.
“Yes, I prepared food for a month before, but I didn’t expect it to be consumed so quickly.”
If she hadn’t taken the Pregnant Mother Grass, she could have survived without eating or drinking in this world with abundant spiritual energy.
But after taking the Pregnant Mother Grass, she was now an ordinary person, and even if she was a bit stronger, it wasn’t by much.
“You’re not alone now, you need to eat more. Mom will also come tomorrow, I’ll prepare more,” Liu Nanfeng said.
After they exchanged some heartfelt words, Su Jinxiu “chased” Liu Nanfeng out.
As he walked out, he saw the freshly arranged roses on the table, glistening with mist and looking incredibly alluring under the lamplight.
The sound of water came from the bathroom. Liu Nanfeng sat down in a chair and took out his phone to browse.
He needed to pick up his mother, Yu Huilan, the next day, so the procurement task would have to be handled by Su Huamei.
Liu Nanfeng browsed through the shopping app, estimating what would be useful and noting it down to see if the supermarket would have it the next day.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Su Huamei walked out, wrapped in a towel with wet hair.
“Why aren’t you wearing clothes? And why haven’t you dried your hair?”
“Hehe, I want you to blow-dry my hair,” Su Huamei said playfully.
“Okay.”
Liu Nanfeng didn’t refuse. He put down his phone and walked over, held her shoulders, and gently pushed her back into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of a hairdryer filled the bathroom…
…
The next day, Liu Nanfeng woke up early.
Yu Huilan had called the night before, urging him to pick her up early today, so Liu Nanfeng didn’t dare to delay.
However, Su Huamei was even earlier than him and had already prepared breakfast.
Today, she wore a light blue dress, her hair elegantly tied up, revealing her slender neck, giving her an air of intellectual beauty.
Liu Nanfeng noticed that whenever Su Jinxiu wasn’t home, Su Huamei became mature and intellectual. But when Su Jinxiu was home, she would become lively, passionate, and unrestrained.
“You’re up? Are you going back after breakfast?” Su Huamei immediately came over and wrapped her arms around Liu Nanfeng’s neck.
“Yes, you have a task today too, to procure a batch of daily necessities and supplies, enough for at least three to four people to live for one to two months,” Liu Nanfeng said.
“You’re so nagging, didn’t you already tell me last night?” Su Huamei said playfully.
Then she reached out and smoothed a stray strand of hair on top of Liu Nanfeng’s head.
But that strand of hair was too mischievous; no matter how she pressed it, it wouldn’t stay down. Yet, Su Huamei persisted, determined to tame it.
Seeing her adorable expression, Liu Nanfeng found it amusing. He reached out, took her hand, and said, “Alright, have you eaten breakfast?”
“No, I was waiting to eat with you.”
“In that case, let’s not delay. I’ll go wash up,” Liu Nanfeng said, pulling her arm down and turning towards the washroom.
After breakfast, Liu Nanfeng didn’t dare to delay any longer and drove directly to the countryside.
