In his hazy state, a cool breeze suddenly blew across his neck.
Cao Yu suddenly paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and asked, " Jiujiu, just now... what happened to me?"
"Don't ask, just wait a moment."
Xu Jiujiu, she turned around, closed the door, locked it, and only walked up to him after confirming everything was in order. Her cheeks flushed, she looked at him and said, " Little Yu, can you please not say anything first?"
" For Jiujiu, why..."
Just as she was about to finish speaking, she hugged him Xu Jiujiu, leaned forward, her soft hair falling onto his face, and a pleasant fragrance lingering around his nose.
Standing very close, she looked at him earnestly and said, " Little Yu, don't speak."
The consciousness barrier has been activated!
Cao Yu has already set up the automatic activation function.
The next second, Xu Jiujiu Xu Jiujiu lowered his head, his lips touching hers, his voice somewhat indistinct.
" Little Yu, let's talk about everything tomorrow, okay?"
Time flies like an arrow, fleeting in the blink of an eye.
The night outside the palace has vanished...
The sky was bright but shrouded in mist.
The entire bedroom smelled sweet.
Early in the morning, Cao Yu woke up groggily, feeling only a slight soreness in his arm, but nothing else unusual.
After a while, he realized he was sleeping somewhere else, because the bedroom was so unfamiliar. Looking to the side, he saw Xu Jiujiu sleeping there.
Like an octopus.
Her sleeping posture was quite poor.
Xu Jiujiu of eye contact, she whispered, "Good morning."
When she spoke, her voice was slightly hoarse.
With a doting smile, Cao Yu turned to look at her. "Mm, good morning."
I don't know how much time passed.
From sunrise to when the sun was high in the sky, it seemed like a very long time had passed.
By midday, the sun was high in the sky, blazing hot.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, blindingly bright.
Straighten your back, close to the edge of the bed.
Cao Yu looked at her with affection, then patted her head and said, " Jiujiu, be good. I'll go get you some breakfast."
Xu Jiujiu looked at him with a flushed face and said, "Okay, go and come back quickly."
After he left, she lay down again without making a sound for Xu Jiujiu, quietly waiting for him to return.
Before long, the sound of footsteps, "tap, tap, tap," came from outside the door.
Xu Jiujiu, she looked up and saw the door open. Cao Yu walked in carrying a plate of breakfast. "Here, all your favorites."
"There's roasted chicken and your favorite dessert. Have some water first."
Next, Cao Yu lovingly fed her breakfast.
Xu Jiujiu had used up too much energy last night and was probably really hungry, so she finished her breakfast in no time.
Cao Yu sat to the side, gently brushing his finger along her fair nose, and said softly, "I'll stay here with you today, okay?"
Xu Jiujiu suddenly became mischievous and said playfully, "Okay, but what about your students?"
"Hmm... I'll take pity on them today and give them the day off."
Xu Jiujiu smiled sweetly and said, "Then you really are a good principal!"
Before long, the message was brought back by a guard.
At this moment, many people in the five-story building in the backyard of the Cao Clan began to cheer.
Cao Goudan was the only exception; he was scratching his head, desperately trying to solve a physics formula.
" Einstein's Mass–Energy Equation: e=mc^2. Who was Einstein? And what is the speed of light, c? What is the speed of light?"
Then most of the others, unable to stay silent, said one after another, "Luckily, the young master gave us the day off today, otherwise I would have been in big trouble if he asked me."
Then many people started echoing him, saying, "What a coincidence, me too! I didn't study either, otherwise I'd be in the same boat as you!"
"What, where did you go yesterday?" another girl asked.
"Cultivate, of course. Young Master didn't say we can't cultivate."
"If you keep going like this, something bad will happen sooner or later. How can you do two things at once? Don't end up losing the big picture for the small things," the girl advised him gently.
But the boy was unfazed, hands on his hips, and said, "Hey, I don't believe in such things! So what if my Innate Soul Power is low? My dad always said to believe in yourself. My goal is to Titled Douluo!"
The girl shrugged helplessly and said, "Well, good luck!"
He then acted as if nothing had happened and returned to his seat, picking up his chemistry book and starting to read.
The boy got bored and went back to bragging to the others...
"Hey, let me tell you something..."
Inside the Cao Clan's main hall.
The group drank their tea with worried expressions, the atmosphere filled with silence, and every now and then someone would sigh.
Seeing that everyone looked at a loss, Cao Xiang observed their expressions, took a sip of tea, and shook his head.
Cao Xiang said with great distress, "What kind of mess is this?"
"How did I end up tumbling twice in the same pit?"
The quiet atmosphere in the hall was suddenly broken, and everyone turned their attention to him.
However, the old man on the side realized the truth. "Alas, this is also our own fault. Knowing that this might happen, we still dragged Little Yu into this suffering."
"Our outcome is simply a matter of mutual consent; there's nothing more to say."
Cao Xiang gulped down his tea in one go, gritting his teeth as he said, "It's all their fault for being so cunning!"
"Dad, we've tricked Little Yu like this, won't he be upset with us?"
The old man thought for a moment, then nodded, then shook his head. "It'll probably be like that at first, but who knows? After all, Little Yu is a carefree child, so let's not worry about it."
Cao Xiang and Luo Lingyun both nodded and said, "We understand, Dad."
Until around 6 PM.
Cao Yu returned to the Cao Clan mansion late. He first went to the main hall, where everyone was already busy with their own things, all pretending not to see him or being too embarrassed to see him.
After all, they felt indebted to Cao Yu, but the old man still couldn't bear it and turned his gaze to him, asking earnestly.
" Little Yu, are you feeling unwell?" As he spoke, the old man kept checking on his physical condition.
The same applies to Cao Xiang and Luo Lingyun.
However, seeing his current state, everyone nodded in approval.
Hmm, not bad. He looks pretty good. His complexion is normal, and his legs are strong. He doesn't seem to be floating at all. It seems that the medicine he was given when he was a child has worked.
Cao Yu met their gazes with an awkward smile, "It's alright. By the way, Grandpa, Mom and Dad, I'm going to spend the night at the palace tonight."
The old man and the others nodded in agreement. "Yes, okay. You don't need to tell us about things like this anymore. Just go if you want to."
