Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 835 Sister, I'll show you a video
Of course, Li Luo wouldn't actually do anything reckless so early in the morning.

Although Yan Zhusheng was tempted, she was actually still very sleepy.

It was only a little past six in the morning when Li Luo suddenly woke up, simply because she had a nightmare.

After chatting with Yan Zhusheng for a few minutes while cuddling, Li Luo quickly fell into a deep sleep again.

Yan Zhusheng hadn't had enough sleep either, and she drifted off to sleep in Li Luo's arms.

It wasn't until after 10 a.m. that Li Luo opened her eyes again, stretched lazily in bed, and yawned.

Turning my head, I saw Yan Zhusheng's delicate face, and the enchanting scenery of last night instantly flashed into my mind, leaving me with endless aftertaste.

He turned to the side and gently kissed Yan Zhusheng's forehead, then sat up on the bed and looked at Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi.

Seeing that the others were still sleeping, Li Luo didn't disturb them. She tiptoed out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, Li Luo returned to the bedroom and saw that the three of them were still sleeping soundly, so she simply changed her clothes and left the master bedroom.

He took the elevator to the first floor.

Housekeeper Liu had already started working here. The living room, which had been a mess last night, had long been cleaned up and made tidy by the cleaning lady.

"Has the upstairs been cleaned too?" Li Luo asked Liu, the housekeeper, as she walked towards the backyard, yawning.

"Not yet." Butler Liu shook his head. "I need your permission before I can let the cleaning lady go upstairs to clean."

"Okay, let Auntie go," Li Luo nodded and said. "Remember to change the sheets in Zhusheng's bedroom."

"Alright." Butler Liu nodded. "Would you like to have your meal first?"

Li Luo glanced at the time; it was already 10:30 in the morning. He shook his head and said, "I'll go for a run and come back for lunch later."

"Okay." Butler Liu nodded to indicate that he understood. "Then I'll have the kitchen start preparing. Would you like to try anything?"

"Home-style dishes are fine."

After saying that, Li Luo arrived at the backyard, stretched by the fish pond, did some simple warm-up exercises, and then left through the backyard gate, jogging slowly along the path inside Tianlu Yaju.

To be honest, if Li Luo didn't use the memory palace, she couldn't quite remember when the last time she jogged alone was.

Or rather, since his rebirth, he has never jogged alone.

At first, she was mostly with Yan Zhusheng.

Later, Xixi joined as well.

From then on, the three of them were inseparable, and they would always go out for a jog together early in the morning.

Li Luo felt a little unaccustomed to jogging alone on the road in the neighborhood.

So he only jogged for about ten minutes before leisurely turning back to the gate of A08 and returning to the villa from the front yard.

Since there was still some time before lunchtime, Li Luo didn't rush to go upstairs to wake them up.

Considering that Xixi and Youyu had both gotten drunk last night, Li Luo went to the kitchen again and gave them a heads-up, asking them to prepare something to relieve their headaches after drinking.

Li Luo then went to the study on the second floor, intending to write for a while.

As soon as Li Luo sat down at her desk and turned on her computer, she heard a series of soft meows from a kitten.

Turning his head, he saw a small tabby cat scratching and meowing behind a small square glass door on the wall.

"I've completely forgotten about you guys."

Li Luo chuckled, stepped forward, and opened the glass door, letting Xu Youyu's fox spirit into the study.

The door was only about half the length of Li Luo's arm; it would be a bit difficult for a person to squeeze through, but it was spacious enough for a cat.

Even if I get as fat as a truck in the future, I won't have any problem getting in and out through this door.

Ahri was clearly full of exploratory nature. After coming from the cat room next door to the study, she carefully looked up and down at this new world.

Now it's three or four months old, no longer the tiny thing that could be completely curled up in the palm of your hand.

Li Luo reached out and lifted it up; it took both hands to hold it before he could put it down.

Although it is still quite some time away from adulthood, it is already able to hop and jump up and down from the specially designed cat tree.

Li Luo put it on the ground and let it explore freely.

Anyway, all the network cables in the study were covered with anti-scratch sleeves that Xu Youyu bought, so there was no need to worry about them being chewed up.

Even the curtains are specially made so they won't get scratched by cats.

Various scratching and clawing devices were attached to the legs of the desk.

In this regard, Xu Youyu has done his homework thoroughly.

Li Luo petted the cat for a while before returning to his desk and getting back to writing.

By the time he quickly finished a chapter of 4,000 words, it was already 11:30 a.m.

He then came to his senses and looked closely, only to find that a cat had grown on his desk.

On his left, an Ahri was squatting there, raising its head and curiously examining his computer screen.

On his right was a white dog, its black fur glossy and shiny, lying there with a pair of bright, large eyes staring at him.

The marshmallow next to it was licking its body, grooming it.

Ju Bao was curled up in the corner of the table, fast asleep.

Looking at these few fluffy little things on the table, Li Luo felt a warm and tender feeling welling up inside her.

I have to say, owning a cat is quite therapeutic.

Thinking this, Li Luo reached out and stroked the head of each kitten, then stretched and stood up.

With Butler Liu watching over them, he wasn't worried that the kittens would run away.

The windows here are all fitted with screens, and railings have been installed at the top and bottom of the stairs in the corridor.

Even if Li Luo leaves the study without closing the door, the kittens' activity range will be limited to the cat room, study, and corridor on the second floor, and they won't run around the entire villa.

"I'm leaving now." Li Luo patted Bai Ge's body again, then got up and left the study, returning to the master bedroom on the third floor.

The three girls were still asleep at this time.

Li Luo came to the bedside, gently pinched Ying Chanxi's fair cheek, and watched as her brows furrowed slightly, then her eyelids fluttered, and she gradually woke up.

"Lazybones, the sun's already high in the sky, aren't you up yet?"

"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi was woken up by Li Luo. She struggled in bed for a while, subconsciously rubbing her head, which still felt slightly throbbing. "What time is it?"

"It's 11:30," Li Luo said. "Time to get up and have lunch."

"Ah!" Upon hearing this time, Ying Chanxi suddenly sat up in bed.

As a result of using too much force, her already throbbing head became even more painful, causing her to instinctively hold her head.

"what happened?"

"I have class this morning." Ying Chanxi looked at Li Luo with a wronged expression. "I skipped class without even asking my counselor for leave."

"Ahem... there's no need to worry too much," Li Luo coughed and said. "The teacher might not even call roll." Upon hearing this, Ying Chanxi immediately picked up the book and glanced at it.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The message from Qiao Xinyan on WeChat shattered Ying Chanxi's illusions.

“Xinyan said the teacher took attendance.” Ying Chanxi pouted. “I need to go to my counselor this afternoon to get a sick leave slip.”

"It's nothing, it's alright," Li Luo said, patting her head to comfort her.

For a well-behaved student like Ying Chanxi, skipping class was definitely unacceptable.

"It's all your fault." Ying Chanxi gently bumped her head against Li Luo's. "I drank so much to celebrate your birthday, and now my head hurts a little."

"I had the chef prepare some dishes suitable for eating after drinking, so eat more later," Li Luo said with a soft laugh. "But you can't blame me for what happened yesterday."

“You didn’t drink much at first, but later you were fighting with Sister Yu for the drink.”

"At that rate, nothing could stop you."

"Really? Really?" Ying Chanxi's mind went blank as she looked at Li Luo, her thoughts completely empty. "What happened last night?"

She frowned, momentarily unable to recall, and muttered in recollection, "I remember we weren't playing mahjong together... and then I drank some alcohol... and you even took off all my clothes."

"after……"

"after……"

Ying Chanxi couldn't remember at all; it was clear he had a blackout.

But just then, Yan Zhusheng's voice came from behind Ying Chanxi: "After that, you can fight with me and the senior for food."

"Huh?" Ying Chanxi looked puzzled upon hearing this. "What are you fighting over? Cake?"

“Of course not.” Yan Zhusheng leaned close to Ying Chanxi’s ear, then reached out and poked Li Luo’s underwear, whispering, “Of course it’s here.”

"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, Ying Chanxi's face flushed red, and she stammered, "You, you... what are you saying! How, how could I..."

"Don't you remember, sister? That's alright," Yan Zhusheng kindly reminded her. "Just check the photo album on your phone."

"What photo album?" Ying Chanxi opened her phone with some skepticism, then glanced at the photo album.

The next second, she slammed her phone shut, her cheeks instantly turning bright red, as if she could fry an egg on them.

"W-why...why is there something like this on my phone?!"

"You took all the photos yourself," Yan Zhusheng said innocently, blinking her eyes. "You were having so much fun eating them, I couldn't even take them from you."

"Stop talking!" Ying Chanxi quickly covered Yan Zhusheng's mouth, her face flushed with embarrassment as she shouted, "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

The two girls wrestled on the bed, finally waking Xu Youyu, who was fast asleep beside them.

"What are you all doing... making such a racket so early in the morning?" Xu Youyu yawned, barely opening one eye to glance over.

"I'm showing my sister the treasures on her phone," Yan Zhusheng said, turning her head.

Mentioning this, Xu Youyu immediately perked up and couldn't help but laugh: "Xixi, you'd better keep this safe, it's precious material."

"Senior, please stop talking!" Ying Chanxi's face turned as red as a kettle.

Li Luo even felt like he could see smoke coming out of her head.

While he was pondering how to separate the two girls, Yan Zhusheng had already devised a solution.

She then took out her own phone and, in front of Ying Chanxi, opened a video that had been filmed the previous night.

Ying Chanxi had been well-behaved since childhood and had never studied films before. At this moment, it was the first time in her life that she had seen such a shocking scene.

Hearing Yan Zhusheng's melodious low singing in the video, Ying Chanxi was instantly stunned, and her mind almost crashed.

"You...this...this is..."

“Yesterday you got drunk with your senior, so I dragged Li Luo to my bedroom.” Yan Zhusheng didn’t hide anything and directly informed her sister, “Didn’t you say before that I would tell you whenever I used that?”

"You..." Ying Chanxi's eyes darted away, not wanting to watch any longer, but she couldn't help but glance at the video again out of the corner of her eye, as if the video had some kind of magic.

She felt a pang of jealousy, but couldn't say anything. In the end, she could only pout and whisper, "I was just saying, why did you actually tell me..."

"Is my sister jealous?"

"No."

"Oh, so it's there." Yan Zhusheng nodded, then said enticingly, "Don't you want to give it a try?"

"I already said... at least I need to have a complete talk with Dad first," Ying Chanxi muttered to herself.

“You said you’d wait until after the wedding,” Yan Zhusheng exposed, “and then you changed your mind not long after.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Chanxi's face flushed red, and he stammered, unable to utter a single word.

In the end, Li Luo took the initiative to defuse the situation, lifting Ying Chanxi off the bed: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"The chef downstairs has prepared lunch. Hurry up and wash up, then we'll go downstairs for lunch."

"This afternoon, Zhusheng and I are going to school to practice for the band performance. What about Xixi and Sister Youyu?"

"I'll go find my counselor to get a leave slip first," Ying Chanxi said softly, "and then I'll go to the company."

"I still have to go to class." Xu Youyu got out of bed, stretched, yawned, and walked towards the bathroom. "When you choose your courses next semester, you can change all the classes that start at 8 a.m.

“I usually just go for a morning run and then go straight to class at 8 a.m., why would I need to change anything?” Li Luo chuckled. “Next semester, Sister Yu will be joining us too.”

"No way." Xu Youyu rolled her eyes at him, then walked straight into the bathroom.

Yan Zhusheng followed behind, and Ying Chanxi was the last.

After Yan Zhusheng entered the restroom, Ying Chanxi stopped at the restroom door, turned around to look at Li Luo, and then threw herself into his arms.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing," Ying Chanxi said softly, "I just wanted a hug."

Li Luo didn't say anything more, he just hugged her tightly.

After a while, Ying Chanxi whispered again, "Li Luo."

"Ok?"

"You really want to... um... really want to do that kind of thing, don't you?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi was a little embarrassed. She squirmed in Li Luo's arms for a while before whispering, "I just think... what Zhu Sheng said makes sense."

"Regardless of whether Dad agrees in the end or not, I will always be with you."

"In that case...we...we...doing it earlier...isn't that...not impossible?"

"Regarding this..." Upon hearing her say this, a soft spot in Li Luo's heart was touched, and his eyes softened.

He leaned close to Ying Chanxi's ear and whispered very gently, "Actually, I already have some ideas. If possible, during the Spring Festival this year..."
