"Do you believe it now?"
Lin Xiao looked at Luo Qinghan, spreading his hands helplessly.
"I can't help but believe it," Luo Qinghan leaned closer to Lin Xiao, cupping his face. She stared at him, wanting to get a good look.
"Don't look at me like that," Lin Xiao felt a bit embarrassed under her gaze. "There's nothing special about my face."
"There's nothing special about your face, but you yourself are quite special." Luo Qinghan held Lin Xiao's cheeks. "Four years, to become the Dragon King of Northern Xinjiang overnight, you must have… almost not made it back, right?"
Images flashed through Lin Xiao's mind. Then, he smiled and shook his head, taking her hand and saying softly, "But I came back."
Four years. From an ordinary person, taking the Lin family's so-called "Overbearing True Qi" to seek refuge in the Northern Xinjiang, and almost not coming back?
That was natural. Whether it was him or the soldiers who followed him, every time they went out, they carried a resolve to die, otherwise, they truly wouldn't have returned.
These four years…
He wouldn't think about it.
Lin Xiao said, he picked up a glass of water and handed it to Luo Qinghan. "Here, it's time to sleep. You have work tomorrow."
"..."
Luo Qinghan, who had taken the cup, didn't drink the water. Instead, she looked at Lin Xiao. "I'm not working tomorrow."
"Okay… even if you're not working, you should sleep early. Rest well," Lin Xiao said. When Luo Qinghan slept, he would secretly use his true qi to regulate her body. Otherwise, with her high-intensity work every day, her body would have collapsed long ago.
The first time he saw Luo Qinghan after returning, he could tell that she had hidden ailments from overwork.
"Then, do you have time tomorrow?"
Luo Qinghan stared at Lin Xiao.
"Of course, I do. When do I not have time? If I didn't have time, how could I take you out for lunch?" Lin Xiao retorted.
"Then, tomorrow, come shopping with me!"
"Okay."
Lin Xiao agreed instinctively. But after agreeing, he looked at Luo Qinghan somewhat strangely.
"What? You don't want to?"
"Of course I want to," Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile happily. "A date, who wouldn't want to?"
...
The next day.
After Lin Xiao sent Xun'er and Luo Bing to kindergarten.
"Remember, if anyone bullies you, tell me." Lin Xiao looked at the two children, then continued to Luo Bing, "You're the older brother, protect Xun'er. If anything happens, tell the teacher first. The teacher will tell me."
"Okay."
The two nodded. Xun'er tilted her small head in confusion. Did someone dare to bully Luo Bing brother in kindergarten?
She remembered that many people used to be afraid of Luo Bing brother?
Lin Xiao sent them off and rushed back home.
At this time, Luo Qinghan hadn't woken up yet.
As a good youth of the new era, how could one not sleep in when resting?
Not sleeping in would be a disservice.
After Lin Xiao took a shower, styled his hair, changed his clothes, and even made a special breakfast for Luo Qinghan, Luo Qinghan finally stirred awake.
She turned over and opened her eyes, only to see a head leaning by the bedside.
"Good morning, my wife."
Lin Xiao said, then brought over the prepared towel, basin, toothbrush, and toothpaste. "Here, wash up."
"Ah…"
Luo Qinghan felt like she might have misunderstood something.
