After making the decision, the smile on Yu Qi's face became more natural. He raised his head and continued to listen to Yan Fei and the others' conversation and laughter.
The dinner ended quickly. Although it was a bit simple, Yu Qi, Xiangling, Yanfei, Grandma Ping and Yaoyao were all quite satisfied with it. It can be said that both the guests and the hosts had a great time.
"Then Grandma, Yaoyao, and Xiangling, Mr. Yu Qi and I will leave first!"
"Haha, remember to go home early tonight!" Looking at Yan Fei meaningfully, Grandma Ping warned: "Liyue Harbor is not peaceful now, so it's better to be careful."
"Well, oh, I know, grandma!" Yan Fei blushed at Grandma Ping's meaningful look. She stamped her feet, said goodbye to Xiangling and the others in a hurry, then pulled Yu Qi and ran quickly towards the street of Chihuyan.
Behind her, Grandma Ping held Yaoyao's hand, watching Yanfei and the others disappear in the crowd, and shook her head helplessly: "This child, when did she become so dishonest?"
Hearing this, Xiangling at the side could not help but speak up: "Master, what's wrong with you today? Why do you always talk about these indecent things? Besides, this kind of thing can't be rushed, right? Yan Fei and Brother Yu just met for the first time today. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to keep forcing them together like this?!"
However, upon hearing this, Grandma Ping raised her hand and tapped Xiangling's forehead fiercely, her eyes showing an angry look: "How dare you say that?!"
"Although Yan Fei didn't want to admit it, she still dared to take the initiative to fight for it. I was just teasing her at most. What about you? You clearly have your own ideas in your heart, but you don't dare to say it or do it?
You will regret it only when he gets together with someone else!"
After complaining about Xiangling, Grandma Ping couldn't help sighing again: "I really don't know what's going on. I have been upright all my life, but in the end I taught you two stupid girls who don't mean what they say.
Oh, my wish to have a grandson is probably going to be hard to come true! "
"Oh, Master, what nonsense are you talking about!!" Xiangling cried out in shame and anger, but then fell silent again.
Not out of shyness, but out of distress.
"But even if you say so, Master, I feel that I really don't have that kind of intention towards Brother Yu. We are really just friends. Yes, really friends!"
Seeing Xiangling suddenly emphasizing her tone when she talked about the last two words, as if she was trying to convince herself, Grandma Ping sighed inwardly and said nothing.
"Forget it, forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I hope this girl won't regret it in the future!"
Her previous words were not meant to deliberately bring Xiangling and the others together with Yu Qi. During the meal, although Xiangling concealed it very well on the surface, no, it should be said that even she herself did not realize her own thoughts.
But as a bystander, Grandma Ping saw it clearly.
Xiangling, I'm afraid she has really developed feelings for Yu Qi, it's just that the two of them, as little boys and girls, are too ignorant in this regard.
One is unable to recognize his true thoughts, and does not know how to express them; the other one seems to have no thoughts in the first place, and is also unable to sense the other person's thoughts.
Naturally, the relationship between them was maintained delicately within the scope of friends.
If no one pointed it out, Xiangling would probably not have realized her own feelings until the moment she lost her.
"Hey, what trouble!" As if she was recalling something, a trace of confusion appeared in Grandma Ping's eyes. She sighed softly, pulled Yaoyao, who looked concerned, and walked towards Yujingtai.
This feeling can be treated as a recollection, but it was lost at the time.
Chapter 5.4: Yu Qi and the entanglement (introduction is not a scam) (k)
Unaware of the conversation between Granny Ping and Xiangling, Yanfei and Yu Qi strolled along the street of Chihuyan. People were coming and going around them, and lanterns were hung on small stalls, making the whole street colorful.
Walking side by side in the crowd, Yu Qi looked curiously at the various vendors around him, some selling fruits and vegetables, some selling various dim sum and midnight snacks, and some selling various sundries and toys. The dazzling array of goods, coupled with the slightly noisy shouting around, made Yu Qi inexplicably feel like he was "traveling through time and space".
Although, he really traveled through time.
"Um..." Raising her hand to hold a strand of hair, Yan Fei twisted it between her fingers and played with it. She looked at Yu Qi a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, grandma is old, and sometimes she likes to think too much. Don't take what she said just now to heart!"
"Uh..." Looking at Yan Fei's uneasy look, Yu Qi opened his mouth but didn't know how to reply.
Although he had never been in a relationship and had little contact with girls, he had a pastoral personality and was more or less a straight man, but when faced with this situation, he could still barely sense the strange atmosphere between the two of them.
Considering what Grandma Ping said at the dinner table, whether intentionally or unintentionally, although he was still a little confused, he also understood that he absolutely could not agree to such words all at once.
Unless he really hates Yan Fei and is ready to draw a line between them and just treat her as a friend.
but……
He tilted his head to look at the pretty girl beside him. There was a light blush on her fair cheeks. Against the backdrop of the dim lights around her, her bright eyes, white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows made it really difficult for him to say words of resistance.
As if she noticed Yu Qi's gaze, Yan Fei tilted her head and looked over there as well. When their eyes met, they were both stunned, and then their hearts skipped a beat at the same time. They looked away guiltily.
"Well, it's okay." Yu Qi responded vaguely, trying to remain calm, but his eyes kept wandering to the surrounding stalls, and his words were not in line with his heart.
"Oh yes."
The atmosphere suddenly became weird. Yu Qi had no idea how to start the conversation. The same went for Yan Fei. Her usual eloquence and sharp tongue were completely useless at this moment!
Why did things turn out like this?
It was clear that their relationship before was just ordinary friends at best, how come they became so strange after just one meal? !
Yu Qi was puzzled, and Yan Fei was also somewhat puzzled, so they just walked side by side in silence. The two of them walked around Chihu Rock aimlessly for most of the way, and the distance between them gradually shortened without them noticing.
"Selling candied haws!" As they got closer to the square of Chihuyan, the hawking voice coming from afar made Yu Qi stunned for a moment. He glanced at Yan Fei who was also a little absent-minded, said something, and trotted over.
He bought all the remaining strings of candied haws in one go. He smiled and turned around to walk back, stuffing the extra candied haws into his inventory on the way as the saleswoman thanked him.
Holding two strings of candied haws, Yu Qi walked to Yan Fei's side and handed her one naturally: "Here."
"Thank you."
He opened his mouth and took a bite. With a crisp sound of "crunch", the sweet sugar coating slowly broke apart as his teeth bit down. A hint of sourness came from the fiery red flesh, mixed with it and lingered on the tip of his tongue, instantly dispelling the slight greasy feeling in his mouth that had gradually arisen from the previous dinner. Even Yu Qi couldn't help but relax his brows slightly.
While chewing the sweet and sour candied haws, Yu Qi glanced at Yan Fei, thought for a moment, and took the initiative to start a conversation: "By the way, I heard Grandma Ping say at the dinner table before, Yan Fei, you are a half-immortal?"
"Ah? Yes!" Not caring too much about her inhuman identity, Yan Fei nodded naturally: "Yes, my father is one of the immortals in Liyue, my mother is a mortal, and I am naturally a half-immortal."
"The immortals, the battle..." Recalling the information he heard from Xiangling and Baishu on the previous journey, Yu Qi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking: "Then you already have hundreds of... ahem, sorry!"
Hearing what Yu Qi wanted to express, Yan Fei couldn't help but glare at him in shame and anger.
Although she usually didn't care about her age, for some reason, today she really didn't want Yu Qi to misunderstand that she was already very old.
After calming down, Yan Fei explained casually, "I'm not as great as you think. After the war between immortals and demons, my father came to Liyue Harbor as an immortal and lived in seclusion.
After a long time, perhaps it was fate, my father somehow became attracted to worldly things, and by chance he met my mother. Not long after, they fell in love, got married quickly, and finally gave birth to me.
I am a half-immortal. Although my growth period is not the same as that of humans, it is not as long as that of immortals! In other words... a few dozen years."
At the end of her speech, a hint of red appeared on her face and her voice became much lower, as if she was a little embarrassed to say the fact that she was much older than Yu Qi.
"It's over, he won't dislike me for being so old, right?" Yan Fei secretly glanced at the silent Yu Qi and couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
However, the reality was not as she thought. Yu Qi did not care about her age, but focused on another thing.
"If that's the case, then your life span would be..."
"Well, it should be quite long. The normal lifespan of immortals is generally more than thousands of years. To be honest, I have never heard of any immortal dying because of exhaustion of lifespan."
Taking a bite of the candied haws, Yan Fei spoke vaguely, "I also know a senior who is also a half-immortal. She was born before the Demon God War ended. She is already thousands of years old, but she looks almost the same age as me. If nothing unexpected happens, I can probably live that long too."
"Is that so?" Yu Qi frowned and looked at Yan Fei in confusion: "But, then your father and mother are..."
On Earth, various literary novels have long pointed out that the biggest obstacle to the integration of humans and non-human races is not ideas, appearance, or so-called power.
What can really hinder a love that transcends race is life span!
In any world where immortality does not exist, the theory of longevity is always the most frustrating fact.
"We can talk about that later." Yan Fei waved her hand nonchalantly, looking very free and easy, with the smile on her face not diminished at all: "My father once said that whether we are humans or immortals, we will not give up what we want to pursue just because of so-called obstacles or difficulties.
Be it life span or race, Dad and Mom never cared. They only cared about each other and love. Of course, now there will probably be an extra me."
Having said that, Yan Fei pouted her lips in dissatisfaction again, with drops of crystal sugar stains on her rosy thin lips, which were particularly eye-catching under the moonlight. Seeing this, Yu Qi's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but want to taste it.
"I don't know if my dad and his family disliked me because I was getting in the way of their love show at home, so they left me to my grandma to take care of many years ago. They went on a trip under the pretext of going on vacation, and I don't know where they went to live together!
Every year, he only comes back during the Lantern Festival. Really, he doesn't want his daughter anymore after he finds his lover. I will never do that again!"
It can be seen that Yan Fei is indeed quite resentful about this.
As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Yu Qi who seemed to be thinking deeply about something. Yan Fei blurted out almost instinctively: "Why, you asked about this matter, do you think it is very important? It doesn't matter, I can ask my grandma to let you practice later!
That way we can always be together!"
Before she finished her words, she suddenly realized what she had said, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
"Well, well, you, you, you, don't misunderstand! That's not what I meant. What I meant was..." Yan Fei explained stutteringly, waving her hands and feet in panic.
But before she finished her words, she saw Yu Qi chuckled and shook his head, saying, "It's okay, I understand what you mean."
There was some ambiguity in his words, which made Yan Fei stunned for a moment. She didn't know what he meant. Did he misunderstand her, or did he guess what she was thinking? !
"Besides, don't worry, you don't need to bother asking Grandma Ping to let me practice." Looking up at the gradually brightening moonlight, Yu Qi said calmly: "I have my own solution."
"Okay, let's stop chatting. It's so late. Let's go back and rest!"
"Ah, oh!" Yan Fei nodded in confusion, still frantically thinking about what Yu Qi had just said, what exactly did it mean. Her reaction seemed a little slow.
It took him a long while to react. What did Yu Qi say? His head was blank. His already red cheeks completely turned blood red. He glared at him fiercely: "You, you, you, what nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to go home and rest with you!"
After saying that, he seemed to feel that his words were a bit too harsh, and couldn't help but whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "Anyway, at least wait until this year's Lantern Festival, when my parents come back and see them first!"
"Uh..." I didn't expect Yan Fei to react like this. Although I didn't hear clearly what she said in the second half, Yu Qi still couldn't help laughing, feeling puzzled.
After saying that, Yan Fei seemed to calm down a little and realized that her emotions might be a little abnormal.
"Hiss~" Taking a deep breath of the slightly cool air, Yan Fei forced herself to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and her coral-colored hair trembled slightly.
"Sorry, I may have been a little confused just now. Sorry, Mr. Yu Qi."
After apologizing sincerely, Yan Fei took a step forward without looking back, and strode towards Feiyunpo: "I'll take you to see the house first."
"Tonight, I think we all might need to calm down a bit."
"Yes." He nodded in agreement. Not only Yan Fei, but Yu Qi also felt that something was wrong with his situation.
He knew very well that it was not impossible for him to fall in love with Yan Fei so quickly. After all, their views on each other were indeed in sync.
But like now, it is absolutely impossible to develop from just a few words to the point of talking about marriage!
He needed to calm down and figure out whether he was just attracted to her or he really had feelings for her.
Yan Fei had the same idea. She wanted to calm down and confirm whether she was attracted by the pure aura of Yu Qi or by him as a person.
In silence, the two of them walked one after the other on Feiyun Slope, and soon they arrived in front of a house.
This area is not far from the Northland Bank and is located in the center of Liyue City. Going further in, there are more than a dozen shops and the General Affairs Department is opposite. It has prosperous business and is definitely a good place to open a store.
Honestly speaking, shops in this kind of area are extremely expensive. Not to mention 30 million, even if it's 50 million, there would probably be plenty of people willing to take it over.
Standing in front of the gate, Yu Qi looked carefully at the house in front of him in the moonlight. The door was closed and there was a thin layer of dust on the lock. It seemed that there was some difference from what Bai Zhu said about hiring someone to clean the house every now and then.
Yan Fei also discovered this problem, frowned, and looked at the address in her hand in confusion: "Yes, it should be here."
"Why don't we open the door and take a look? The key should fit."
"Ok."
With a slightly dull click, Yu Qi opened the lock, and then slowly pushed open the door. A harsh friction sound came from the door hinge, which made him and Yan Fei frown.
As the door opened, the dark room looked a little eerie under the moonlight.
The dark door was wide open, like a huge, deep mouth that was about to swallow up every human who stepped into it.
The night wind blew the door, making a series of gray creaking sounds. If it were a timid person, he would probably have been scared to the point of his legs going weak.
After passing through the gate, the two men walked into the house as usual, not paying attention to this problem.
Not to mention that there are no ghosts, even if there really are ghosts, the two of them would not be afraid at all.
One is a demigod who possesses the Eye of the Fire Element God, and the other is a human being who not only masters two elemental powers, but also has the three-star 'Heart of the Thunder Wolf' as a backup.
If we really encounter a ghost, it's hard to say who will be afraid of whom.
According to the information on the title deed, this is a three-story house, and each floor is approximately 120 square meters in size, which looks quite large.
It is very suitable for opening a shop or living in it.
He casually waved a ball of fire, illuminating the room, and Yu Qi and the others were able to see the situation inside the house clearly.
Unexpectedly, the room was not dusty as imagined, but unexpectedly clean, with tables, chairs and furniture neatly arranged.
Glancing across the floor, Yu Qi could even vaguely see the traces left by cleaning.
"This..." After looking at each other, both of them were a little confused.
There was so much dust on the lock, obviously no one had been in for a long time, but why was the room so clean?!
Faintly, both of them sensed something strange.
"Well, Mr. Yu Qi, why don't you just not stay here today?" Frowning slightly, Yan Fei advised, "Why don't you find a hotel first, or stay at Mr. Bai Zhu's place for one night?"
