How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"..."

Hei Yang suddenly stopped, swayed, turned around and hugged his mother without saying a word, looking apologetic.

"I'm so sorry, Mom and Dad, for making you sad for so long. I will never make you sad again."

"Well, as long as you two are both okay in the end, that's all that matters."

Qing Yiyi gently rubbed her son's head and said softly, "Isn't it just that parents worry about their children all the time?"

"Um……"

Hei Yang's voice was deep and somber: "It's so good to have you all here."

"Okay, okay, I know, Mom knows."

Qing Yiyi smiled and said, "Stand up and let Mom see you."

"Ow."

Hei Yang stood up straight and watched as his mother took the ruler next to her and carefully measured his height.

When I was little, my mom would measure me like this every Chinese New Year. Seeing her son grow taller and taller, her face was full of smiles.

However, when he was fourteen or fifteen, my mother stopped measuring him as much. She said she could tell at a glance whether her son had grown taller or not, so there was no need to measure him anymore.

Today, Mom picked up the ruler again and carefully measured Hei Yang's height. While measuring, she said with a smile, "By the way, Yu Ying said that her Xiao Li has finally grown to over 1.6 meters tall. Did you know about this?"

"what?!"

Hei Yang was shocked: "Really?"

"How would I know? I didn't measure it. Her mother said so."

Qing Yiyi teased, "But once Xiaoli becomes your wife, you can measure her to see if she's grown taller."

"Ah this..."

Hei Yang blushed slightly and chuckled awkwardly, "Hahaha, yes, yes."

[Black Sun: Are you there?]

[Hongli: What is it you wish to report?]

[Hei Yang: I heard you've grown to over 1.6 meters tall?]

[Hongli: Uh...]

[Heiyang: What's wrong?]

[Hongli: Well, hahaha...]

[Hongli: Um... actually, I cheated. I secretly repaired the ruler at home.]

[Hongli: But after the measurement was completed, I changed it back!]

Otherwise, when Mom uses it, she'll find that the whole family has grown a centimeter or two taller...

[Black Sun: Damn, what's the point of deceiving yourself?]

[Hong Li: Of course! As long as I stop measuring myself, who will know I'm still 1.57 meters tall? From now on, I'll be a 1.6-meter-tall powerhouse!]

[Black Sun: Wrong, cheating, self-deceiving, illogical...]

[Hongli: Oh dear! Heiyang, I trust you so much, you absolutely have to keep this a secret! Don't tell anyone, or I'll be so embarrassed!]

[Hei Yang: Okay, okay, I'll stop talking now!]

[Hongli: Hehe!]

"Hmm... still 1.79 meters tall..."

Qing Yiyi squinted at the scale, looking like she had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"I was just a little bit short of 1.8 meters. Actually, I could be considered 1.8 meters, right?"

Hmm, how about Mom makes the soles of your shoes thicker?

No, that would be too obvious. Should I make the insoles thicker? Won't that be uncomfortable to wear...?

"Oh, my dear mother, what's the big deal?"

Hei Yang waved his hand dismissively and said with a grin, "Anyway, most of the time I'm either sitting or lying down, so they can't tell my height."

Actually, being shorter isn't so bad; you're less likely to fall off the bed when you're rolling around!

"You're just like that! You're nothing special!"

Qing Yiyi shook her head and chuckled, taking two steps back, her eyes sparkling.

"My little meatball, when I was pregnant with you, I said, 'Oh dear, when will you come out and join me? Stop all this fuss!'"

When you came out, Mom thought, "Oh dear, when will my little Yang grow up, get married, and have a little Yang?"

Qing Yiyi smiled broadly: "As a result, before I knew it, I grew up, became independent, found someone I liked, and am ready to leave my mother and live on my own!"

"Mom, what do you mean by leaving..."

Hei Yang felt a strange unease. It was as if everyone was still there, and he hadn't lost anything, but his childhood seemed to be gone forever.

At that time, in Hei Yang's eyes, his parents were the pillars that held up the world, and his most reliable support.

But as I grew up, I realized that my parents were also trying to live their lives in this vast world, and I suddenly felt that they were very fragile, and I wanted to keep all the bad things out of them.

When I'm not home, I worry about whether my parents have fallen, whether they're unhappy, or whether they've been bullied by the neighbors...

My parents should be much more resilient than I am, after all, they are older...

But I always feel that the shoulders that supported me as I grew up and supported this family can no longer, and should not, bear any more!

"What do you mean by leaving!"

Hei Yang laughed and retorted, "It's just a few steps away, no different from sleeping in different rooms in the same house!"

"Mom, don't say that. It makes me sound like a villain who's abandoning you."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."

Qing Yiyi smiled, reached out and took the clothes from Hei Yang's hand, and carefully folded them neatly to the side.

"Is there anything else you need to take? Mom will help you pack and we can also go and see how my son's new house is."

"Ok!"

Hei Yang nodded, then suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, by the way, what's the matter with Xiao Su that I told Mom about before?"

It seems Aunt Hongling and the others are leaving for another city either tomorrow or the day after. We can't keep them in their way.

"Don't worry about Mom handling things."

Qing Yiyi naturally turned her head to look at the mirror next to her, casually touched her hair, and smiled.

"Your mother and his parents sent Xiao Su there a long time ago. While you were wandering around somewhere, I had already gotten to know all the children who came to help!"

Well, not all of them are children. Some look quite young, but when I ask their age, wow, they're several years older than my mother! And then they call me "Auntie," which makes me feel kind of embarrassed.

"The hierarchy in the cultivation world is even more chaotic than in the capital, so there's no need to worry about it."

Hei Yang casually said, "Hong Li and I call them senior brothers and sisters, and they call us Hei Yang brother and Hong Li sister, etc. It's like we each call each other by our own names."

"strange."

Qing Yiyi couldn't help but complain, then suddenly remembered something and chuckled.

"When you mention this, it reminds me of my sister, your aunt, Lianlian. It seems she's coming over for Chinese New Year this year."

When the time comes, go and wish her a Happy New Year; she might even give you a red envelope, hehe.

"Ah this..."

"What's wrong? Are you sorry?"

"Of course I'd feel bad."

"We'll see when the time comes, hehe."

"No, Mom, you can't try to harm your own son!"

"Only a biological son would betray you, cough cough, Mom is saying, definitely not, don't worry!"

"Mom, you just let it slip..."

"Just pretend you didn't hear me, and don't argue back."

"Ow..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 259 The thought of having to get ready and dress up before going out and meeting people made me lose all interest in going out.

"This one, and this one, and this one..."

Hongli carefully selected books one by one and handed them to Hongling, her face full of reluctance and heartache.

"These should be enough for you to read for a while. Many of them are worth reading a second, third, or even more times. They are all my treasures!"
