Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 601 Thunder on the Ground
To start thinking that the two of them have fallen for the same person based on just a few words makes it seem like Yue Yangyan already knew about it.

Moreover, judging from the tone of his father's voice, his understanding of Ai Liang was clearly more than just the bits and pieces he heard from Yang Xingguo.

Yue Qihua was still the same Yue Qihua; her observation, analysis, and reasoning abilities were not diminished much by her nervousness or anxiety.

She couldn't understand why Yue Yangyan would deliberately bring up this matter if he held a neutral attitude of neither approving nor opposing the relationship.

Wouldn't it be better to keep it a secret? If we tell them, we won't have to worry about offending them?
Yue Qihua thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer.

Yue Qihua temporarily attributed Yue Yangyan's strange attitude to a father's concern for his daughter, since she knew nothing about this father and could not deduce it from his personality.

Urged by Yang Xingyue, Yue Qihua put aside her ulterior motives and left the lounge.

There weren't many people at the dinner table, only a few close immediate family members.

Halfway through the meal, Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue got off the table to go home, saying they were going to do their homework.

The adults, busy drinking, didn't pay attention. Only Yue Yangyan said as the two were about to leave, "I'll take you out to play in a couple of days. Remember to make time."

"understood."

Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue didn't pay much attention and casually replied before leaving the private room.

Yang Xingguo and his friends drank and chatted until evening before returning home.

Meanwhile, Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue, who were in the bedroom, also failed to receive any news about Ai Liang coming online today.

The day passed like this.

........................

The next day at 8:30 a.m.

Yang Xingyue, who had just finished showering, dried the water droplets from her hair as she went downstairs to the kitchen and took out her breakfast from the insulated container.

A small bowl of baked egg custard mixed with diced carrots, shredded cabbage and shrimp, halved potatoes and shiitake mushrooms, a palm-sized baked mackerel, plus a serving of dragon fruit puree and a cup of multigrain soy milk.

It looks very appetizing.

Yang Xingyue yawned and walked toward the dining table, where she happened to run into Yue Qihua, who was returning from the gym.

Good morning, Xingyue. Did you stay up late last night?

"Well, I went to bed a little later than usual in order to finish the rest of my homework."

Yang Xingyue scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes: "Huahua, you really have a lot of energy. You stay up all night playing games every day but you never get sleepy."

You go to exercise first thing every morning; I really envy your energy.

Yue Qihua poured herself a glass of warm water and sat down opposite Yang Xingyue: "Perhaps you helped me fall asleep?"

"You make it sound like I can sleep a lot..."

Yang Xingyue glared at Yue Qihua sullenly and then focused on eating breakfast.

"It seems that Ma Yu and Xiao Xiao's work team has been established."

Yue Qihua scrolled through her phone, looking at the group chat history, and said.

"Oh."

Yang Xingyue responded listlessly, more concerned about something else than her homework: "Is Ai Liang online yet?"

"No, I would have reminded you if I had... He's online."

Yue Qihua changed her mind halfway through her sentence and showed Yang Xingyue her phone screen.

Yue Qihua set up a special notification in the chat software so that she would receive a message whenever Ai Liang came online.

Well, that's it. Yang Xingyue didn't even eat breakfast and rushed upstairs to grab her phone.

Fortunately, the girl's reserve prevented her from behaving like some of the most enthusiastic fans.

【Ai Liang, you haven't been online lately, what have you been up to?】 — Yang Xingyue.

[The stars and moon appeared way too fast! Were they staring at their phones the whole time? (laughs)] — Fang Xiaoxiao.

[Ai Liang hasn't been active for a while, and when she does send messages, it's just perfunctory.] — Ma Yu

The chat group, which was originally discussing and complaining about winter break homework, instantly veered off course when Ai Liang came online.

You know, besides reading and camping, Ai Liang basically has no other hobbies. And camping wouldn't keep her so busy that she wouldn't have time to reply to messages, so they were all quite curious about what Ai Liang had been up to lately.

Ai Liang, on the other side of the city, glanced at Ye Qing, who was sleeping in his arms with a flushed face.

It's nothing, I've just been a bit busy these past few days.

Ai Liang typed a reply.

Ever since he returned from Europe and was free from all worries, the two people alone in the house were like dry tinder meeting a raging fire; it was impossible for nothing interesting to happen between them.

Since it was their first time experiencing sex and they were both physically inhuman, the two of them basically started having fun as soon as they felt like it, and they didn't have time to touch their phones.

Moreover, picking up your phone to chat with other girls at a time like this is simply adding fuel to the fire.

One such instance was when Ye Qing saw Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue's names in Ai Liang's contacts, and she immediately became a little agitated, pulling Ai Liang back to the bedroom for a passionate encounter.

[When are you free? I need an ally to share the resource burden; this game is too slow to progress by playing alone.] — Yue Qihua

Among the group of friends, Yue Qihua behaved the most normally.

They neither questioned Ai Liang's prolonged silence nor brought up any other matters.

The first thing he did after we got out was to play games with Ai Liang; that was pure and simple.

【Tomorrow, I'll go to the car dealership today to get the RV ready. I need to refuel, charge it, and do some maintenance. It'll probably take quite a while.】—Ai Liang

It was no secret that Ai Liang's mother gave him a motorhome on his birthday; everyone already knew.

Compared to the RV, Yang Xingyue was clearly more concerned about something else.

【A motorhome? You're planning to drive back?】—Yang Xingyue.

【Well, I plan to take a road trip to the grasslands in the north this winter break. I'll be going back to Neihua in the next couple of days.】——Ai Liang

"Huahua! Ai Liang will be back in a couple of days!"

Excitedly, Yang Xingyue jumped down the stairs from the second floor and landed in front of Yue Qihua.

"Okay, calm down."

Yue Qihua tried to push away Yang Xingyue, who was jumping around in her arms, but a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

The conversation in the group chat is still going on.

【Driving yourself on a road trip is too tiring. It's so much more comfortable to just take a plane or train】—Fang Xiaoxiao.

【Ai Liang, you didn't actually find a girlfriend in Qianhua City and are planning to take her on a honeymoon in your RV, did you? (laughs)】——Fang Xiaoxiao.

Ma Yu turned around and flicked Xiao Xiao's head: "You're at it again. That's Ai Liang, you know. Xingyue chased her for three years and still couldn't catch up. How could she possibly catch up in less than half a year after going to Qianhua City..."

Fang Xiaoxiao neither refuted nor rubbed her forehead. Instead, she held her phone in astonishment and remained motionless on the sofa.

"Little?"

Ma Yu nudged Fang Xiaoxiao's shoulder.

Fang Xiaoxiao mechanically turned around and pointed to her phone.

"What's wrong?" Ma Yu asked.

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't explain: "See for yourself."

Ma Yu glanced at the chat window with a look of suspicion.

His expression immediately changed to this: ()
"Yes, I plan to bring my girlfriend back to Nevada." —Ai Liang
