After a long time, Lin Xiu'e licked her lips, looked at me and said, "Eleven, is your relationship with Xuanxuan and Xiaoxiao no longer that simple?"
"this......"
I was so startled by Lin Xiu'e's question that I almost dropped the teacup in my hand.
I don’t know why she suddenly asked about this matter? Could it be that she has discovered something?
"Don't be afraid, I'm just asking."
When Lin Xiu'e saw me like this, she couldn't help laughing.
Then she rolled her eyes at me again and said: "It's an advantage for you, kid. I have discussed it with your uncle before. In this world, it is unrealistic for you to find a good family for them to marry. It would be nice to be alive." So if you really have that intention, let these two girls follow you, which can be regarded as finding a way for them to survive."
"Not aunt, Xuanxuan and Xiaoxiao are my sisters-in-law. I will definitely ensure their safety."
I said quickly and awkwardly.
Although Chen Xuanxuan and I were already in a relationship, my mother-in-law suddenly mentioned this matter, which still made me feel a little embarrassed.
After all, this goes against common sense.
"Don't be embarrassed either."
Lin Xiu'e suddenly sighed and said: "Actually, your uncle has told me about the current situation. I know that we will inevitably die. Your uncle and I don't care. We have survived half our lives. Natural and man-made disasters, life and death. But Xuanxuan and the others are still young after all, so we must let them live no matter what."
"Don't worry about this, Auntie. Although I can't guarantee everyone's safety, as long as I'm alive, I won't let anything happen to them."
I said very solemnly.
This is also a fact. Facing the catastrophe of world destruction, most people will eventually turn into ashes. I can't change this.
But one thing is, I will never let the people around me die. Even if I die, I will die in front of them.
"If you say that, I feel relieved."
Lin Xiu'e suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Having such a good son-in-law like you is a blessing for me and your uncle."
"Auntie, don't say that. In fact, I'm not a good son-in-law."
I said with great shame.
I am self-aware of this. Just because I have so many wives, I can no longer be considered a good son-in-law.
Besides, I took Chen Ling and the others to the Penglai Fairy Island to escape the disaster before, but I didn’t even think of my father-in-law’s family. When I told them about this, I really couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
"You have done a good job. Auntie knows you are a good boy."
Lin Xiu'e said and touched my head very lovingly.
I know that her love comes from her mother, and she treats me completely as her own child.
This made me feel even more ashamed.
People treat me as their own child, but I never thought of my father-in-law and mother-in-law as my parents before.
After such a comparison, I am even less of a good son-in-law.
"Okay, go to bed quickly. Look at me, I can't stop talking to you."
Lin Xiu'e may have felt that it was a bit too sensational, so she stood up with a smile.
"Then you go to bed early, Auntie."
I nodded, and after that I hurried upstairs.
It was really embarrassing for me to talk to my mother-in-law this late at night.
After finally escaping, I breathed a sigh of relief.
But when I went upstairs and opened the door of my bedroom, I was dumbfounded again.
The quilt on this bed was full of bulges, and I saw that both Chen Xuanxuan and Chen Xiaoxiao were sleeping in this room.
"Brother-in-law, why are you back?"
I stood there, still unable to turn around, but Chen Xiaoxiao poked his head out of the bed and asked me first.
"Where will I go if I don't come back?"
I looked at her speechlessly.
"It seems so."
Chen Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said in a daze.
"Then do you want to sleep here, brother-in-law?"
Chen Xuanxuan also sat up and asked me.
"I...I'll go next door and you can sleep."
I said and quickly backed out of the house.
How can I sleep when both sisters are here? Although I also wanted to sleep, reason finally prevailed.
But lying on the bed in the next room, I felt empty again, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.
I stayed hard like this for several hours, and finally I drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was almost noon.
I got up and washed up, and Lin Xiu'e had already prepared lunch.
After eating, we packed up our things and drove directly to Yantai.
This time there is no special car to take, so we can only take the train.
It was a bumpy day, and by the time we arrived in Yantai, it was already night.
So we had to find a hotel in Yantai, stay one night, and then take a boat to Penglai early the next morning.
After arriving in Penglai, I spent a lot of money to buy a yacht and purchase a lot of daily necessities.
After this delay, another half day passed.
But now there is no difference between day and night, anyway, there is no difference between day and night, so we directly boarded the boat and went to sea, and rushed to Penglai Island overnight.
There is a dedicated driver on the yacht, so you don’t have to worry about driving the yacht. There are also chefs, service staff, etc., and all the daily necessities are available.
Although it is a bit expensive to charter such a yacht, it is well worth the money.
There is also an independent luxury room in the cabin. You can sleep directly in the room. I only need to tell the yacht driver the direction I want to go.
This can be considered a luxury.
The night is getting darker, and the yacht is riding the wind and waves on the sea, heading towards our destination at a steady speed.
We sat around the outdoor dining table, eating the steak just fried by the chef, blowing the sea breeze, and paired with a glass of red wine. It felt really comfortable.
Even Chen Xuanxuan and Chen Xiaoxiao quietly drank several glasses of red wine nearby, and their faces were all red.
After dinner, Chen Yunqi and Lin Xiu'e went back to the cabin's bedroom to rest.
I went to the top deck alone. There are comfortable and soft sofas here. I can sit on the edge of the fence and enjoy the scenery of the sea.
It's a pity that the night is too dark and I can't see anything clearly. At a glance, the endless sea is completely black, which gives people an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Only when the sea breeze blows over, it feels a little more comfortable.
I lit a cigarette, leaned on the back of the sofa, raised my head and looked at the night sky.
The starry sky is as beautiful as a painting. It feels like there are obviously many more stars that can be seen on the sea, and they seem to be closer to the starry sky. The eyes are full of bright stars, as if you can reach out and touch them.
The feeling is indeed fascinating.
