How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Outside the courtyard, a blizzard raged and the cold wind howled.

They seem like two completely different worlds, separated by an invisible shield, yet in reality, they are only a stone's throw apart.

Hei Yang Hongli looked up at the sky where goose feather snowflakes were falling, feeling the gentle warmth of the hot spring beside her. She couldn't help but close her eyes contentedly, her mind blank and her spirit refreshed.

However, even amidst this harmonious scene, there are some voices that are not actually there, making noise.

The hot spring was divided into two parts by Hei Yang Hong Li with a partition. Hei Yang Hong Li occupied one part, while Xiao Huo was thrown to the other side by his heartless parents.

"Waaaaah, Mom and Dad, what are you doing? It's so mean!"

Little Fire's face was full of displeasure, and he couldn't help but pound on the partition and yell from the other side.

"Why are you leaving Xiao Huo here all alone while you're all over there? Are you secretly eating something delicious and don't want Xiao Huo to see?"

"Oh dear, what are you talking about?"

Hong Li's languid voice came from the other end, her rosy face full of a comfortable expression.

She casually brushed aside the wet, long hair, and gently patted the man lying in her arms with her other hand.

The latter was wearing an indescribable expression of zero intelligence. The usually sunny boy now had an expression that didn't seem like a good person, and he was chuckling foolishly.

Hongli: "..."

A dark line appeared on Hongli's face. She pursed her lips awkwardly, sighed, and, too lazy to pay attention to the guy, continued to say to Xiaohuo on the other side in a low voice, "Xiaohuo is already a big kid. He sleeps by himself. Is he afraid of water when he soaks in a hot spring?"

"ah??!"

Xiao Huo was completely confused.

"Moreover."

Hongli paused for a moment, then added, "Dad is a boy and Xiaohuo is a girl. Even if we are father and daughter, there are some things we should be careful about."

"uh-huh."

Hei Yang's voice drifted over: "This is called seeing the big picture from small details. Starting with the details, keeping your distance is not estrangement, it's being responsible!"

Even if it's nothing now, what if the little fire gets a bit bigger?

"Ah this..."

Xiao Huo's plaintive voice came from the side.

"But Mom..."

"This is my wife!"

Hei Yang responded smugly.

"Ah this..."

Little Fire peeked out with his beady eyes, looking completely adorable.

"Ahem, that..."

Hongli rolled her eyes at Heiyang, patted his head, scolded him irritably, and then said loudly, "Xiaohuo, don't worry, Mom will come over to keep you company in a while. Don't leave him here alone."

"Ha, Mom is definitely lying to Little Fire."

Little Fire snorted softly and muttered, "How could Mom bear to leave Dad..."

"Ah this..."

Hongli revealed her crescent-shaped eyes and snorted loudly, "You'll see if I get through or not, Mom. I mean what I say!"

"Oh."

Xiao Huo said with some doubt, "Okay..."

"But then again..."

Hei Yang reminded him, "Don't soak for too long, it's not good, you'll get tired."

"Oh, okay, I know, Little Fire is very powerful."

Little Fire responded with a hum.

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

"cheers."

Hei Yang Hong Li gently clinked the water glasses in her hands, then drank the hot milk in the glass in one gulp with a look of enjoyment.

"what……"

Hongli let out a long breath, steadily tossed the water glass onto the shore, reached out and pulled Heiyang, who was still trying to snuggle into her arms, aside, wrapped her arm around his neck, tilted her head and rested it on his shoulder, and then bit him on the shoulder with a "whoosh".

"What are you doing? You've become a dog too."

Hei Yang casually used his spiritual power to lift the water glass and send it into the house, complaining with a helpless expression.

Why would someone bite someone for no reason?

"Ha, mind your own business..."

Hong Li loosened her teeth, looked at the neat teeth marks on Hei Yang's shoulder, and chuckled as if she had thought of something.

"ill."

Hei Yang rolled his eyes, reached out and put his arm around Hong Li's neck, snorting threateningly, "Believe it or not, I'll just shove your head underwater and drown you half to death!"

"Tsk tsk, that's really vicious, Black Sun."

Hongli rolled her eyes, then looked at the snow falling in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

"At this time last year, we were fighting over blankets at the lakeside pavilion."

This time last year, we were wandering in the falling snow.

Finally, this year, we've achieved our goal.

Comparing the past and present, we seem incredibly fortunate now.

"That's true."

Hei Yang nodded slightly, a series of memories flashing through his mind, filled with emotion.

"We've finally overcome all our hardships, Xiao Li."

"uh-huh."

Hongli nodded without saying anything more, enjoying this moment of leisure with Heiyang.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Huo is all alone over there, looking so pitiful. I'll go check on her."

After a long while, Hongli thought of her daughter next door and spoke to Heiyang.

"Hmm, you're just like..."

Hei Yang nodded, but before he could finish speaking, the communication spirit stone that Hong Li had placed on the shore suddenly rang.

"Ok?"

Hei Yang Hong Li was stunned for a moment.

"Who is it that's calling at this hour?"

Hei Yang couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Heh, who knows?"

Let me see. If it's Elder Huo Le, I'll just hang up on him and ignore him!

Hong Li reached out and took the communication spirit stone, looked at the caller's name, and suddenly froze.

This time, the call was from Aunt Hongling, whom I hadn't spoken to much in the past six months since Heiyang Hongli's wedding.

"Why did she call?"

A question mark appeared above Hong Li's head. She turned to look at Hei Yang and couldn't help but guess, "Could it be that he's thinking of making his presence known since the finale is coming soon?"

"Stop being silly, just accept it and see for yourself."

Hei Yang slightly turned his body to avoid the camera.

"makes sense."

Hongli nodded when she saw that Heiyang was not in the camera's view, and then connected the call.

"Hello, hello, is this Auntie?"

"Ah, this number is definitely mine!"

"Long time no see, Xiao Li."

Aunt Hongling appeared in the picture, and her temperament seemed much more decisive and efficient than before. It seems that being the head of the family has brought her some benefits.

"Hmm, Auntie seems to be in good spirits."

Hongli complimented him and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Did you miss me?"

"Hahaha, Xiao Li, look how funny you are! How could your aunt possibly miss you?"

Aunt Hongling smiled and said, "If it weren't for something, why would I be calling you?"

"Oh, I knew it."
