Douluo Continent: Contract Goddess, Transforming the Mecha Girl World!

Chapter 122 Farewell to Aunt Liu, the naughty boy who stole the rouge!

(P.S.: The illustrations for the previous chapter have been updated. Please like and comment!)

On the grassy hill behind the mountain, two figures gazed at the starry sky, nestled close together.

Chen Shi was a sentimental person. Whenever he had to go home to reunite with his family but then have to part again, a feeling of sadness would linger in his heart.

As if sensing the boy's low spirits, Liu Ruyan's heart softened, and she reached out to hug Chen Shi, gently comforting him.

"Don't worry, Xiaoshi, no matter when you come back next time, Aunt Liu will always be waiting for you at home~"

Liu Ruyan's words deeply touched Chen Shi's heart. In truth, how could he not want Aunt Liu to stay with him forever?

The ideal is beautiful, but reality is cruel...

Aunt Liu and Kexin have mysterious identities, which means they are destined to be extraordinary, while Chen Shicai is just a minor fourth-ring Soul Master. If something really happens, he won't even be able to protect them!

Even if there was only a slight chance that such a thing would happen, Chen Shi was unwilling to let Aunt Liu and Kexin take that risk!

Of course, there is another major reason!

Although Holy Soul Village is just a remote rural village and cannot compare to bustling big cities in some aspects, it has a beautiful environment and is undisturbed, which is exactly what Aunt Liu likes and wants most!

Therefore, living in Holy Soul Village wasn't a hardship for Aunt Liu; on the contrary, it made her life more comfortable and carefree.

Chen Shi looked up from the face wash. Tomorrow they would be parting ways, and tonight was their last moment together, so he naturally had to cherish it!

As their eyes met, Liu Ruyan found herself increasingly unable to withstand Chen Shi's increasingly aggressive gaze, and her heart pounded wildly!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Chen Shi took the initiative and pulled Liu Ruyan into his arms. Over the past two weeks, the latter had gradually gotten used to this new way of getting along.

Once Chen Shi used this trick, Liu Ruyan realized... it was time to breastfeed.

The crystal necklace was beautiful, but when it broke free from the constraints of his clothing, Chen Shi was always drawn to things even more beautiful.

Silence fell for a long time; only their breathing echoed across the empty meadow, and a faint milky scent gradually filled the air.

The next day, Liu Ruyan got up early and spent two hours simmering a pot of old hen soup. She cooked noodles in the hot soup and fried a few eggs. The taste was delicious!

(P.S.: Forgive my limited knowledge, but I genuinely think homemade chicken noodle soup with a fried egg is delicious!)

As soon as Chen Shi and the others got up and finished washing up, Aunt Liu sent Xiao Kexin to call them over for noodles. Once they entered the room and started eating, they couldn't stop, and there wasn't even any soup left!

After breakfast, everyone rushed to help Aunt Liu wash the dishes and chopsticks, and all other housework was taken care of.

After finishing all this, Chen Shi asked Xiao Wu, Rong Rong, and Zhu Qing to go home and check if they had left anything behind. Xiao Ke Xin also joined in the fun and went along.

Only the boy and Liu Ruyan remained in the large wooden house.

Watching the girls leave, Chen Shi turned around and hugged the beauty, saying reluctantly, "Aunt Liu, you and Kexin take good care of yourselves at home. I'll come back to visit you in a few months!"

Liu Ruyan hugged him back tightly, her voice soft as she said, "Mmm~ Xiaoshi, take good care of yourself while you're out there. If you miss Aunt Liu, just look at the little plant I gave you~"

Chen Shi agreed, and the two embraced and cuddled for a while. The sounds of the three girls and Ke Xin playing around came from afar.

"Aunt Liu, we're leaving now~"

"Okay, have a safe trip, Shi~"

As they said their final goodbyes, the young man let go of Liu Ruyan's hand. Gazing at her stunningly beautiful face, he... couldn't hold back any longer!

Leaning down, Chen Shi precisely kissed Liu Ruyan's red lips!

In an instant, Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes widened. Before she could react, Chen Shi had already launched a sneak attack and kissed her lips!

There was no intrusion, no verbal sparring; lips met lips, and the two could only feel each other's warmth.

A moment later, Chen Shi slowly raised his head. When he kissed her, he clearly felt Liu Ruyan's body tense up, and his mind went blank!

As for why this happened, Chen Shi can only say... if you are about to be separated from the one you love, then you will understand this overwhelming feeling!

Although they did kiss, Chen Shi began to worry that his sudden "offense" might cause Aunt Liu's goodwill to drop sharply, and that she would no longer be willing to be close to him in the future.

Just as Chen Shi was in a state of confusion, Liu Ruyan, who had been stunned for a long time, finally reacted.

The beating and scolding that the boy had imagined, not even a single word of accusation, did occur. Instead, Liu Ruyan simply raised her hand and gently wiped away the remaining rouge from the corner of Chen Shi's lips.

Then, she smiled slightly, as if nothing had happened: "Xiao Shi, stealing rouge isn't a good thing for a child~"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi's heart trembled violently. Aunt Liu was not only not angry, but she even smiled!

At this moment, Chen Shi suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had been a little bolder, could he and Aunt Liu have taken things a step further?

The thought had barely formed when Chen Shi immediately dismissed it. After all, the reason he and Liu Ruyan had gotten to where they were today was because everything had fallen into place naturally, with everything progressing smoothly and naturally.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and the others had already led Ke Xin into the courtyard, and Chen Shi and Aunt Liu tacitly let go of each other's hands.

"Brother Chen Shi, you're leaving now. When will you come back to visit Kexin next time?"

As soon as the boy stepped out of the house, the little girl ran up to him.

Chen Shi picked her up in one swift motion, smiled, and said, "When Kexin is a year older, your brother will come back, okay?"

"Really? Then let's pinky swear and never go back on our word!"

As Xiao Kexin spoke, she held up her short little finger, looking very serious.

(Fun fact: The hanging mentioned here refers to the ancient custom of "hanging money," which is a metaphor for making a promise and not changing it.)

Seeing this, Chen Shi cooperated quite well, smiling and agreeing, and then stamped it with his thumb.

Following that, the three women came forward to say goodbye to Aunt Liu, expressing their gratitude for her care and concern during this time.

On the way away from Holy Soul Village, Xiao Kexin insisted on coming along, which suited Liu Ruyan's wishes, so she spent a little more time with Chen Shi and the others.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and every journey has its conclusion...

Finally, Chen Shi, along with his three girlfriends, waved goodbye to Aunt Liu and Kexin, then turned and left.

Liu Ruyan and the little girl stood motionless, watching Chen Shi and the others gradually disappear into the horizon...

Meanwhile, when the four looked back, at the entrance of Holy Soul Village, Liu Ruyan and Kexin had become two blurry dots, one large and one small.

Chen Shi tilted his head back and took a deep breath. Xiao Wu and the other girls sensed this and quickly gathered around him.

"Chen Shi, let's go home together again next time, play with Kexin, taste wine together, and help Aunt Liu cook, okay?"

Chen Shi felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the three women who were thinking of him, and smiled in return!

"Okay!"
