Chapter 37: Warmth (1st Update)
The night was as cool as water, and the cold moonlight permeated the entire Ye Mansion.
With a leaf at the corner of his mouth and his head in his hands, Ye Chenrao walked comfortably towards the small courtyard.
Gusts of autumn wind hit, with a faint fragrance, the light of the fire candle dancing in the courtyard seemed to guide Ye Chen, jumped into the courtyard, at this moment, the courtyard has been full of frogs, the sound of gnats and crickets formed a pleasant music.
The dilapidated house has become a holy place in Ye Chen's heart, because this is his home, where he and Lan Gu live.
People, whether they are evil or righteous, there is always a Pure Land in their hearts, and the Pure Land in Ye Chen's heart is undoubtedly the courtyard in front of him.
In the past, the chirping fire unicorn was also rarely quiet, the wind blew through the paper window, making a rustling sound, looking, the candle flame in the house was beating, and the figure in the paper window was also shaking, looking at the floating figure, the corners of Ye Chen's eyes couldn't help but get wet, for Lan Gu, who was not his biological mother but better than his biological mother, Ye Chen's heart was not only respectful but still respectful, but inadvertently, the Lan Gu who was in her prime had slowly grown old.
Slowly pushing open the old wooden door, the dilapidated wooden door seemed to be overwhelmed by Ye Chen's strength, and immediately let out a gurgling sound.
The two figures suddenly jumped into Ye Chen's eyes, Lan Gu sat in front of the window with a haggard face as always, but the person opposite Lan Gu was beyond Ye Chen's expectations.
The woman's calm and beautiful indifferent face showed a hint of worry, her skin was like congealed fat, her eyebrows were moths, and her pretty eyes were locked, obviously bothered by something.
What surprised Ye Chen was that the identity of this woman was actually his half-sister Ye Muwan!
The gurgling sound alarmed the two people in the room, and the two eyes with different emotions also fell on Ye Chen.
"Young Master!" Lan Gu's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry: "Thank God, thank you Lord Martial God"
Ye Muwan's pretty eyes like a wangquan also flashed with a hint of joy, and then they were covered up again, got up and helped Lan Gu who was kneeling on the ground, and said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, fortunately you came back safely, otherwise Lan Gu would have to worry about death!"
Although Ye Muwan's tone was indifferent, Ye Chen still heard the blame and worry in Ye Muwan's words.
Worried, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, it seems that Lan Gu must have heard about today's events, and the person who told Lan Gu must be Ye Muwan in front of her.
Lan Gu's tired face, which was so pale that it was almost transparent, couldn't help but show a hint of joy, and her lips trembled slightly: "It's good to come back, as long as the young master can come back safely!"
"You didn't go to the dense forest outside the city!" Ye Muwan's gaze kept falling on Ye Chen, and she noticed that Ye Chen had no injuries at all, and said in surprise.
"Dense forest?" Ye Chen pretended to be puzzled, obviously the matter of his entry into the dense forest was known to everyone, and now that he appeared in the sight of everyone safely, this will definitely arouse the suspicion of people with intentions, and then he said uncertainly: "Oh, I went in once to get some things, and then I found that many martial artists ran to the dense forest for some reason, so I took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention to it and returned to the city!"
A hint of brilliance flashed in Ye Muwan's clear eyes, and she nodded slightly, not pursuing the authenticity of Ye Chen's words. Immediately turned around slightly, showed a smile at Lan Gu, and said lightly: "Lan Gu, since Ye Chen has come back, then I should also leave, don't worry too much about Ye Chen in the future, he has grown up!"
In the end, Ye Muwan threw an unfathomable look at Ye Chen, that look made Ye Chen embarrassed for a while, obviously Ye Muwan didn't believe what she said just now, but in order not to worry Lan Gu, she didn't expose Ye Chen's lies, so Ye Chenrao smiled gratefully.
"Hey, thank you, Miss!" Lan Gu bowed to Ye Mu Wan with a respectful face, and Lan Gu was flattered that the young lady who was so approachable on weekdays made Lan Gu feel flattered.
Smiling gracefully, Ye Muwan nodded, nodded slightly at Ye Chen, and slowly walked out of the house.
Looking at the pretty shadow that was fading away, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile, this Ye Muwan was really strange, obviously she was very concerned about the unlucky guy, but on the surface she was indifferent.
"Young Master, you have to thank Miss, she is very worried today!" Lan Gu's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes fell on the pretty shadow outside the house.
For Ye Muwan's kindness, Ye Chen smiled slightly, and glanced at the wrinkles at the corners of Lan Gu's eyes, Ye Chen felt guilty in his heart, and at some point the wrinkles gradually climbed into the corners of Lan Gu's eyes, jumped into the inner hall, and walked out with a plate in Lan Gu's puzzled eyes.
The delicious aroma filled the whole room, Lan Gu was slightly stunned, and immediately quickly took the dish in Ye Chen's hand, put it on the table next to him, and hurriedly walked towards the inner hall, pouting as he walked: "I'm really old and confused, young master, you must be hungry, I'll heat those dishes right away!"
Untying the apron hanging from the closet and quickly tying it around the waist is a very natural action that is evident as it is often done.
I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, at this time, Lan Gu still considered her food and clothing problem, but she didn't care about herself, Ye Chen subconsciously let go of her hand, but saw that her expression was slightly stunned, and quickly interrupted Lan Gu's thoughts with a dry cough, and said with a smile: "Lan Gu, I will do the hot dishes today!"
"How can this work?" Lan Gu couldn't help but have a hint of urgency on her face, how could she be willing to let Ye Chen do such rough work.
Ignoring Lan Gu's obstruction, Ye Chen took off the apron around Lan Gu's waist, tied it to himself, pushed Lan Gu's body, and with a slight force, Lan Gu couldn't help but sit on the guest chair, touching his nose, Ye Chen couldn't help but crack his mouth and smiled: "How can it not work, Lan Gu, I am now grown up, I can do this thing, besides, Lan Gu, you have worked hard for me for so many years, it is time for me to honor you!"
Taking over the dishes on the table, Ye Chen hurriedly walked towards the inner hall, leaving Lan Gu with a busy figure!
"Miss, young master, he has grown up, he has really grown up!" Looking at Ye Chen's busy figure in the inner hall, Lan Gu trembled slightly, and then couldn't help but murmur softly, and as she spoke, tears blurred her eyes in an instant, and she couldn't stop flowing anymore.
Although the outside world is extremely unpleasant to hear Ye Chen's mother's words, it is also a fact that Ye Chen's mother is indeed a dusty woman.
Ye Wen had no intention of seeing Ye Chen's mother back then, but even if he fell in love with her, it caused Ye Chen's mother to become pregnant with Ye Chen!
Knowing that Ye Chen's mother was pregnant with Ye Chen, Ye Wen also had to marry her, and Lan Gu had always been Ye Chen's mother's maid, so she also married her.
But dystocia also led to the death of Ye Chen's mother, so Lan Gu spent the best period of a woman on Ye Chen.
The greatest love in the world is nothing more than maternal love, not a mother is better than a mother, through the crack in the door, Ye Chen looked at the tears and joy on Lan Gu's tired face, his heart was complicated, sometimes it was just a gesture but it would be touching, thinking of this, Ye Chen felt a sense of guilt in the depths of his heart.
It seems that he cares too little about Lan Gu on weekdays, and the trivialities on weekdays also make Lan Gu's body gradually overdrawn, and now he has millions of dollars to get some pills for Lan Gu to replenish his body, thinking about this, Ye Chen couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth, skillfully lit the fire candle, and gently put the dead branches into the stove, for fear of waking up Lan Gu!
"This kid is a little ruthless, but he's quite filial!" the fire qilin looked at the busy Ye Chen and pondered.
The warmth of the whole night, tonight Ye Chen is no longer a ruthless killer, not a martial artist, just an ordinary teenager.
The faint smell of vegetables and the crackling of dead branches wafting through the room filled the room.
