Gentle Warmth

"Do you still dare to rebel?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile, giving Hu Liena's shapely buttocks a light slap.

"I won't do it again!" Hu Liena hung her head, looking utterly hopeless.

I don't know why, every time I face my junior brother, I want to unleash my power, but all I get in return is ruthless suppression.

It's clear that Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing can throw little tantrums, but she herself is completely under the thumb of this naughty junior brother.

Is this the difference between pursuing and being pursued?

Qian Renxue was pursued by her junior brother.

Zhu Zhuqing was only half-heartedly complying.

I'm the only junior who pursued you; is that why I have such a lowly status?

"You despicable junior brother, how could you treat me like this when I love you so much?"

Hu Liena thought indignantly.

"What are you thinking about, my dear senior sister!" Lu Yuan took Hu Liena's hand, pulled her slightly, and embraced her. Lu Yuan gently touched Hu Liena's delicate nose and smiled as he spoke.

"You stinky junior brother, you have no conscience, all you do is bully me," Hu Liena muttered softly.

"Alright, don't be angry. I only like to tease you. Who told you to be my dearest senior sister? I wouldn't be interested in teasing anyone else." Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.

"Who knows if what you're saying is true or false," Hu Liena muttered to herself.

"What did you say?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's nothing, I just meant I love you the most, Junior Brother." Hu Liena's beautiful eyes were slightly flustered as she quickly said.

"Heh, you!" Lu Yuan sighed softly, flicked Hu Liena's smooth forehead, and pretended not to hear.

Hu Liena had always been obedient and submissive in front of him, but that was not a good thing.

Lu Yuan preferred that she express her true nature and not suppress it for his sake, as that was not what Lu Yuan wanted to see.

It's actually quite good that Hu Liena has a little bit of personality now; it makes her more real and more like a living, breathing Hu Liena.

Lu Yuan tucked Hu Liena's slightly messy golden hair behind her ear, kissed her cherry lips, and said, "Get up quickly. The teacher should be here soon. Don't be impolite in front of the teacher. Also, Zhu Qing will be living with us from now on."

"Zhu Zhuqing? Does she live here too?" Hu Liena asked.

"Yes!" Lu Yuan nodded slightly and said, "This is what the teacher personally promised."

"I see!" Hu Liena lowered her head slightly, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "If Zhu Zhuqing is staying here, where will you sleep tonight?"

"Will you still sleep with me?" Hu Liena asked with a hint of anticipation.

"Well!" Lu Yuan gently stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "I'll stay in both places alternately."

"Ah?" Hu Liena looked a little disappointed. "But junior brother, I want to hold you and sleep together every day."

Hu Liena blinked her eyes pitifully, looking truly charming.

"I see!" Lu Yuan nodded slightly and said, word by word, "Then there's only one way."

"What method?" Hu Liena asked with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Let's sleep together under the same blanket, that way you can hold me every night!" Lu Yuan revealed a meaningful smile.

"Get lost!" Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Hu Liena was immediately enraged and landed a fist on Lu Yuan's chest. This brat junior brother, he really dares to dream, he actually wants to sleep with Lu Yuan in the same bed, dream on.

Even after being punched by Hu Liena, Lu Yuan wasn't angry; he still had a smile on his face.

"Junior brother, come on, have a chicken leg!" Under Bibi Dong's somewhat strange gaze, Hu Liena put another large chicken leg into Lu Yuan's bowl.

"Uh!" Looking at the mountain of food in front of him, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback. Hu Liena was being a little too enthusiastic, and he was having trouble handling it, especially with Bibi Dong right beside him.

"Nana, that's enough. It's not too late to add more food after your junior brother has finished eating." Bibi Dong couldn't stand it anymore and immediately spoke up.

"Oh, okay!" Hu Liena paused, her chopsticks reaching for the grilled Panxi, then slowly withdrew them.

"Junior brother, eat quickly, I'll get you more after you finish." Hu Liena stared straight at Lu Yuan, completely ignoring Bibi Dong and Zhu Zhuqing beside her.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan shook his head slightly. This senior sister's affection was really too strong; sometimes he couldn't resist it.

"Teacher, this fish is delicious, you should have some too!" Lu Yuan picked up a piece of fish and put it in Bibi Dong's bowl, and then gave two pieces of fish to Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.

There was no other way; I couldn't just let these three people watch me eat alone, that would be too embarrassing.

"Hmm!" Bibi Dong nodded gently, glancing at Hu Liena beside her with her beautiful eyes, and said, "Your junior brother is the one who knows how to be filial to me. You only have eyes for your junior brother, how can you forget about your teacher?"

"Teacher!" Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena blushed slightly and immediately picked up a mouthful of fragrant stir-fried rabbit meat and put it into Bibi Dong's bowl. "This is your favorite rabbit meat, please eat more."

Hu Liena's face showed a hint of ingratiation, and she revealed a sweet smile.

"You're not sincere, do I have to remind you?" Bibi Dong said softly, her lips slightly parted.

Hu Liena immediately looked embarrassed, stuck out her tongue shyly, and lowered her head slightly.

Seeing the scene of Lu Yuan and the other two getting along, a trace of envy flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. The relationship between Lu Yuan and his two disciples was really good, with a kind of family warmth. She had never experienced this feeling before.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing felt a warmth in her hand; it was Lu Yuan who had quietly taken her delicate hand in his.

Lu Yuan's smile was so warm that it instantly melted Zhu Zhuqing's heart. Yes, even though she had never experienced the warmth of family, with this man by her side, she would never lack love.

Zhu Zhuqing smiled sweetly at Lu Yuan, her smile so pure and beautiful, without a trace of impurity.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing like this, Lu Yuan slightly loosened his grip.

As for why she didn't continue holding his hand, how could Zhu Zhuqing eat if she held his hand?

Zhu Zhuqing picked up her chopsticks and gently savored the fish that Lu Yuan had given her; the taste was surprisingly delicious.

"Teacher, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor!" Lu Yuan said, glancing at Zhu Zhuqing.

"What is it? Tell me!" Bibi Dong said.

"It's like this, Zhu Qing is Agility-Attack Soul Master, and her Martial Soul is the Nine Lives Heavenly Cat, which has unlimited potential. However, she can't make good use of or tap into her potential. I'm not Agility-Attack Soul Master, so I can't help her. Therefore, I would like to ask Ghost Elder to help teach Zhu Qing," Lu Yuan said.
