Yu Feng grabbed Ye Lingling's shoulders and begged for forgiveness in a coquettish manner. Ye Lingling, seeing her husband acting this way, felt somewhat helpless and quickly said, "Alright, stand up and talk first. I forgive you."
"Hehe, my wife is the best!" Yu Feng laughed as he stood up, brushing the dirt off his knees.
Jun Yi then spoke up, "Sister Lingling, this is my fault. I dragged Yu Feng into drinking, and I forgot you were planning to have a child. It's my fault."
"Yes, Lingling, I was also at fault. Yu Feng didn't want to drink, but Jun Yi and I dragged him into it," Osler quickly added to the explanation.
Yu Feng also put on a pitiful expression, as if the words "It's not my fault" were written all over his face.
"Alright, alright, drink less alcohol in the future. Promise me you won't drink anymore before we have children, understand?" Ye Lingling said.
"Don't worry, Lingling, I can definitely do it!" Yu Feng assured her.
" Lingling, I'll keep an eye on him for you. If he drinks even a little, I'll take care of him for you," Osler said with a wave of his hand.
"Me too," Jun Yi chimed in.
"Alright, do you three want to come back to the academy with me? My carriage is parked over there. The driver said he saw three drunkards and was thinking of taking a detour, but luckily I lifted the curtain and saw it was you three, otherwise you three really could have slept here all night."
Ye Lingling looked at the three of them helplessly and said that she couldn't understand why these three people, who were almost eighty years old combined, were still acting like teenagers. They even led Jun Yi astray.
Jun Yi's original aloofness and coolness had completely disappeared.
"Thank you, Lingling. Let's go back together then!"
Osler and Jun Yi didn't stand on ceremony and climbed directly into Ye Lingling's carriage, while Ye Lingling...
She naturally had no objections, but felt somewhat helpless. She slowly glanced at Yu Feng and said, "Get in the car. If others knew that the three of you are teachers from our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it would be incredibly embarrassing!"
"Hehe, my dear wife, you go first."
The carriage slowly headed towards the academy. As it passed by the street, a familiar shop caught Jun Yi's attention. He turned his head and saw a young girl dressed in a blue dress sitting there, quietly holding a pipa and playing beautiful notes.
Jun Yi was slightly stunned, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes. The sound of the zither was still so familiar. Then, a gentle singing voice reached everyone's ears.
As the music and singing filled his ears, memories of the past unfolded before Jun Yi's eyes like a scroll painting. Tears welled up in Jun Yi's eyes, and the woman playing the zither slowly raised her head, looking out the carriage window and meeting Jun Yi's gaze.
A smile appeared in the woman's eyes, and her singing became more cheerful. Jun Yi waved back, and the woman's smile deepened. She stopped playing the pipa in her book and waved back to Jun Yi.
Then Jun Yi lowered the curtains, and when the others saw that Jun Yi had tears in her eyes, they didn't ask any questions, because they had already recognized the woman's identity through her singing. This was a past that Jun Yi didn't want to talk about, and they wouldn't either.
An elderly man with white hair emerged from the shop where the woman was. Seeing her so happy, he couldn't help but ask curiously, " Shuang'er, why are you suddenly so happy?"
"I saw my uncle; he was in that carriage, and he greeted me," the woman said with a smile.
"Oh, really? I didn't expect him to have returned to Heaven Dou City as well," the old man exclaimed.
"Grandpa, shall we find some time to visit Uncle?"
"Sure, but first, let's talk to your aunt. It won't be awkward with her there."
"Uh-huh!"
The woman was none other than " Xu Shuang'er," who was originally Ning Rongrong. The song she was playing and singing was one she had learned as a child and often played for Jun Yi, called " Seven Treasures."
Today is her birthday, but she had forgotten it was her birthday. So when her grandfather gave her a birthday present, she was very surprised and happy to play it. However, she was also very curious. Even though she had never practiced before, when she picked up the instrument, it was as if the instrument was made just for her, and she seemed to have been born with the ability to play it.
The car slowly drove away from the street, away from the shop, away from the girl in green and her pipa music. But Jun Yi could not shake the image of that person from his mind, the image he once knew so well.
His eyes were filled with reluctance and regret, but he also understood that he had made his choice, and the memories that belonged to him would never be forgotten.
Perhaps it is his regretful past that makes him cherish the present and the future so much.
The carriage quickly returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Osler and Jun Yi used their Soul Power to dispel the effects of the alcohol, as they were now teachers and could not lose their composure in the academy. When Jun Yi and the others got out of the carriage, they saw Dugu Yan waiting for them at the academy gate.
"You're back? You smell like you've had quite a bit to drink." Dugu Yan walked to Jun Yi's side and tidied his clothes.
"You guys chat, we're leaving now." Osler waved his hand and pulled Yu Feng away from there.
Ye Lingling exchanged a glance with Dugu Yan, then turned and left.
Immediately after Ye Lingling left, Jun Yi spoke up, "Why were you waiting for me here?"
" Zhu Zhuqing just sent a message saying that Grandma misses us and wants us to come over," Dugu Yan said.
"What's my mom up to now? Didn't I just see her last week?" Jun Yi's expression held a hint of helplessness.
Dugu Yan tapped Jun Yi on the head. "Is this how you talk to your mother-in-law?"
"Isn't that right? She hasn't stopped causing trouble since she arrived here. It's only because Zhu Zhuqing has a good temper that she's willing to accompany her all over the continent."
Jun Yi said helplessly, "I have already told Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bibi Dong that I came from another world."
Although they were surprised at the time, they had already accepted this premise. After all, after becoming gods, they discovered that there were countless other planes besides Douluo Continent, and they quickly accepted Jun Yi's origins.
After the great battle, Jun Yi brought his mother over. At first, his mother thought he had gone mad, and it took Jun Yi a lot of effort to get her to accept the world's setting.
"When you see your mother-in-law later, you'd better be a little sweet-talking," Dugu Yan said.
Was I being too obvious?
