Volume 2: The Initial Ripples Chapter 56

  A white eye was sent over with a light cloud, and the very unrefined action had a different kind of charm when she did it. Thinking about how Night Auntie usually dared to be angry but not dare to speak in front of Night Ningxuan, her heart suddenly understood: "Is this the reason why even someone as fierce as Night Auntie can only find fault with you verbally?"

  Ye Ning Xuan smiled brightly, with a slight raise of his lips, and a charming gaze floated over, what do you say?

  As the opening day of school approached, considering that there would be several days when she couldn't return home after school started, it was decided to spend all the days before the start of school accompanying her grandparents at the Yun residence. The night before the start of school, she would go directly to her own home. When she first learned that Yun Qingran was going to attend elementary school, Shen Chen immediately made a decision that after school started, she would live with her, and then promptly found a decoration company on the second day to renovate a room for her.

  As for Ye Ningxuan, both Cloud Old Master and Cloud Old Madam were particularly fond of him. As soon as they saw him arrive, they busied themselves in ordering Fu Bo to tidy up the room for Ye Ningxuan.

  "Uncle and Auntie Yun, don't bother, I'll just stay in the Light Courtyard directly." Yening Xuan stopped Old Man Yun and said to Fu Guanjia: "Fu Bo, don't bother, you go rest first."

  Yun Lao Ye Zi hesitated for a moment: "This..."

  "Uncle, Xuan is my senior fellow apprentice, Master won't say anything." Yun Qingran said as she sat down in the chair beside him. Old Man Yun was only concerned about the "Master" mentioned by Yun Qingran.

  "That's good, it's not early now, you two should also go rest early." Since they wouldn't disturb Yun Qingyan's master, Old Man Yun wouldn't object either. He waved his hand to let the two children go back and rest.

  After Yun Qingyan broke through, the two of them agreed to enter the space only twice a week. Now, for the two of them wanting to break through was no longer a matter of time, but rather needing tempering and elevating their state of mind. At the same time, before their cultivation increased, the two of them also temporarily stopped learning about alchemy and equipment array formations.

  Like a lazy little cat, Yun was curled up in bed, the thin silk quilt only covering her waist and abdomen, warm sunlight from the balcony shining on the bed, playfully dancing on her white skin. In a daze, she opened her blurry eyes, her consciousness not yet returned to her brain, just staring blankly at the smiling person in front of her.

  "Lightly, get up." Yun Qing's lovely expression greatly pleased Ye Da, who tightened his waist and whispered softly in her ear.

  A warm breath swept over, soft and ticklish, transparent ears that couldn't be stopped had turned crimson red. Yun Qingran stared blankly at Ye Ningxuan, lost in his enchanting smile.

  "Gently, I want a goodnight kiss!" Ye Ningxuan's voice was enchanting and gentle, ambiguously echoing in Yun Qingran's ears.

  Entranced by the sound, Yun gently wrapped her arms around his neck and slowly leaned in. Just as their lips were about to touch, she suddenly stopped. Her hazy eyes instantly cleared up, shining like diamonds on black velvet, dazzlingly bright, as if they would sparkle with stars. With a hint of a smile, she gazed at him, her rosy lips softly brushing against the corner of his mouth: "Do you still want your good morning kiss?"

  Ye Ningxuan looked at Yun Qingran with a mixture of frustration and amusement, his mouth twitching with suppressed laughter that reached the bottom of his heart. He knew she was just teasing him earlier, but... Ye Ningxuan suddenly burst into a radiant smile, like a dazzling phoenix, and swiftly pecked her cheek, then quickly ran into the bathroom and closed the door. He opened it again, sticking out his head with a triumphant grin: "Hurry up, it's not early anymore."

  Looking at the bathroom door, Yun Qingyan hummed softly. You can't escape the temple even if you run fast, wait until you come out and we'll settle the score. At Night Ningxuan's previous smile, she realized something was wrong, but it was too late to dodge.

  Ye Ningxuan maintained his dazzling smile until he left the small building, and Yun Qingran didn't even look at him until they reached the dining hall.

  "I'm here, gently, what do you want to eat I'll give it to you." Ye Ningxuan had been paying attention to Yun Qingran's eyes, in order to please her who was being stubborn, as long as he saw where her gaze stopped on the pastries, he would immediately pick them up and put them on her plate.

  Yun Qingran didn't say a word, her eyes just swept over each of the points on his chest, looking at Ye Ningxuan's wronged expression, she almost burst out laughing, although she also knew he was just pretending.

  Looking at the innocent child in front of him, Yun Lao Ye couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her pitiful appearance. However, he couldn't bear to scold his precious granddaughter, so he had to think of another way.

  "Yes, eat quickly. You went out for the past two days and didn't study well with your teacher, and in a couple of days you'll be going to school again, so take this opportunity while you're at home to learn more from your teacher."

  Yun was quiet and calm. It's just that she had asked for it, otherwise she could have told Old Master Yun that she wanted to see Ning Xuan being humiliated, so she did this. If she really said that, I'm afraid Old Master Yun would scold her again. She quickly finished eating the pastries she liked, then poured all the remaining pastries on the plate into Ning Xuan's bowl, thinking to herself: choke to death.

  After finishing breakfast, Ye Ningxuan took Yun Qingran back to her small courtyard under the indication of Old Master Yun. Sitting in a rocking chair that was gently swaying, Ye Ningxuan stroked Yun Qingran's back as if comforting a frightened kitten. Yun Qingran fell silent for a moment in Ye Ningxuan's arms: "Was I being a bit too willful?"

  "Not at all." Ye Ningxuan lifted her chin, which was as light and round as a cloud, and looked into her eyes gently: "It's just that you've let go of the burden in your heart and returned to your true nature. Not to mention now, but even before, you were just a girl in her early twenties, and being spoiled and willful was your rightful privilege. Seeing you pouting at me now, showing me your true nature, makes me very happy, it means you consider me the closest and most trustworthy person."

  "Really?" Yun Qingyan asked skeptically.

  Really.

  "Hehe." Yun Qingran smiled brightly, her eyes gleaming with mischief: "Wouldn't you be delighted if I were to act coquettishly around you and throw tantrums at you?"

  "Of course!" Night Ningxuan replied very seriously, without noticing the mischievous glint in Yun Qingran's eyes.

  She jumped into his arms and hugged his neck: "Hehe, I want you to sing a song for me."

  Ye Ningxuan's eyes swept over the high platform and he said with a smile: "I'll play the sheng for you, you use the guqin to accompany me."

  Yun Qingran pouted, really good at finding opportunities. Flew onto the stage, took out the commonly used guqin from space and placed it on the white jade stone table, her dark eyes turned, and an idea jumped into her mind.

  A phoenix seeks a phoenix, the piano sound rises with gentle turns, carrying threads of affection and dots of entwinement, making people seem to see the scene of phoenixes interacting and playing together. Suddenly, another xiao sound starts, and in the ensemble, there is not a single flaw, the piano and xiao harmonize, jointly composing a warm and beautiful scenery.

  "I said I wanted to hear you sing, but you didn't do it. So what do you think should be the punishment for you?" With that, Yun Qingran's eyebrows were slightly raised with a hint of a smile as she turned around to look at Ye Ningxuan who was standing half a foot behind her.

  "Then punish me..." Yin Xuan's voice was faint, as he hugged her and whispered: "Forever protecting you, forever accompanying you, never allowing you to leave. For all eternity, through life and death, our souls will depend on each other."
