To be honest, Qi Shiyun actually doesn't know if she has forgiven Ling Yi yet, but one thing she knows very well is that she is not yet sure whether Ling Yi will become the same as before.
She felt that Ling Yi's current change was entirely because she was determined to treat him as a stranger, and even divorced him before he finally woke up.
If I were to be too good to him all of a sudden, or if I remarried him, would he not know how to cherish her like before, and then turn into the drunk, gambling, and domestically violent beast again?
Qi Shiyun didn't know, and she didn't dare to gamble.
At least she couldn't gamble with her daughter's remaining time.
So she felt that she couldn't be too hasty, let alone be too nice to Ling Yi all of a sudden. She had to treat him little by little like a frog boiled in warm water, so that he wouldn't be 'arrogant'.
Not only that, she felt that she had to wait, wait for the passage of time, to test whether Ling Yi had really changed; wait for the passage of time to judge whether Ling Yi had truly repented.
Only in this way can she ensure that she and Xiaoxiao will not be harmed by Ling Yi again.
Of course, she understood all these principles, and on the train to Panlong Village, she warned herself over and over again that she must exercise restraint and stay rational.
Not only that, she also forcibly brainwashed herself, saying that she came back this time just to bring Xiaoxiao to visit her grandparents and aunt, and had nothing to do with Ling Yi.
However, when she looked at Ling Yi walking over with a steaming cup of brown sugar water, an imperceptible tenderness still appeared in her eyes.
In fact, even she herself was not aware of this touch of tenderness.
When she reached out to pick it up, her fingers accidentally touched Ling Yi's hand. Somehow, it felt like she was getting an electric shock, and she subconsciously retracted it.
But he was afraid that if he retracted his hand and Ling Yi let go, the brown sugar water would be spilled, so he suppressed his desire to retract his hand and instead took the bowl from Ling Yi's hand with a quickening heartbeat.
When she held the cup and lowered her head to drink the brown sugar water, her breathing became rapid. And that exquisite face looked more like it had been burned by the heat, and it was as red as fire.
'Qi Shiyun! What are you doing? We are an old married couple, but he has never touched any part of your body. Why are you still like you were in college, bumping into each other at the touch of a finger? Wake up, hey! '
Qi Shiyun lowered her head, frowned and shouted to herself in her heart.
When she looked up, Ling Yi had already brought her a second cup of brown sugar water.
Ling Yi originally planned to feed Xiaoxiao by himself, but Ji Lanying snatched the cup away and said with a look of disgust that it was strange that he fed Xiaoxiao well.
Xiaoxiao glanced at the brown sugar water in her grandma's hand, swallowed greedily, then raised her head and said to Ling Yi, "Dad, when I finish drinking the brown sugar water, I will come and hug you."
When Ling Yi heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. Why are these words so familiar?
But he didn’t think much and blurted out: “Okay!”
"Good sir!"
Ling Guozhong's familiar voice came again.
Ling Yi suddenly realized, no wonder it felt familiar, that's it!
"Why don't you hurry up and serve the two of them a meal? You are such a big man, and he has no life in his eyes. He will get angry when he sees you!" Ling Guozhong was holding poached egg soup with both hands, and he could actually free up one foot to kick Ling. Yi, not a drop of the soup in the bowl was spilled, which made Ling Yi stunned!
Could this little old man have been practicing secretly behind his back?
This made Ling Yi couldn't help but want to ask, what realm has fellow Taoist reached? Refining Qi, building foundation, or is it innate?
However, in line with the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, Ling Yi chose to shut up and went to the kitchen to serve food.
After serving the meal, Ling Yi added two more chairs to the dining table - one of the baby chairs was made by Ling Guozhong after he learned that Qi Shiyun was pregnant, but it has not been used for several years. , I finally used it today.
Ji Lanying's thin body once again showed its infinite potential. She picked up Xiaoxiao in one hand and Qi Shiyun in the other hand, and walked to the dining table hand in hand: "There is no decent food at home, so you can make do with some and ask your dad to prepare it tomorrow." You collect some game, and I'll make something delicious for you."
Hearing this, before Qi Shiyun could say anything, Ling Yi immediately felt unhappy: "Mom, are you too partial? I've been back for more than a week, and I haven't seen you collect any game for me to eat. .”
Ji Lanying glanced at Ling Yi, and then squeezed out a few words coldly from her mouth: "Is it just you? Are you worthy of eating game?"
Ling Yi was about to refute, but was patted on the shoulder by Ling Guozhong.
Then he saw Ling Guozhong turn his head and asked condescendingly: "Are you sure you are still asking for trouble? Where do you stand in this family? Don't you have any idea?"
Ling Yi: "...!!"
"Mom, don't bother. This is already very rich. I can't eat much." Qi Shiyun suppressed a smile and quickly refused.
"How can that be possible? Look at how thin you have become. These past few years... have been really hard on you." Ji Lanying said, tears almost falling from her eyes.
"Oh, look at you, you're celebrating the New Year, what are you doing?" Ling Guozhong hurriedly stopped Ji Lanying, fearing that she would cry.
Qi Shiyun was extremely moved and quickly comforted her: "Mom, it's over now, don't think about it too much. Besides, I've gained two pounds recently and am in the process of losing weight."
When Ling Yi treated her like that, she didn't choose to divorce Ling Yi immediately. Although there was a reason why she still liked Ling Yi, part of the reason was Ling Yi's parents.
They are really very kind to themselves. They don't regard themselves as their daughter-in-law at all, but treat them like their own daughters.
Especially last time, when they rushed all the way to Jiangzhou to help Ling Yi pay off his debt, they said to her personally: "Daughter, you are a good child, and you can't be dragged down by that bastard Ling Yi like this. If you have any ideas, Just divorce him, he's not good enough for you, and your parents won't blame you."
She knew that the two elders were telling the truth and were not trying to block her way out.
It was precisely because they were so good to her that she specifically asked Ling Yi not to tell the two elders that they were divorced.
She didn't want to let them down, especially those who were celebrating the New Year. She didn't want them to spend the New Year with sadness.
"Why lose weight? You are too thin. It doesn't matter if you gain ten pounds more." Ji Lanying wiped her eyes and said with a smile.
"That's right, you're too thin. You could gain ten pounds more." Ling Yi, a marginalized person, hurriedly agreed with a smile.
"What is that?" Ji Lanying said angrily, "Will it look good if I gain ten pounds more? Then I will have to skip eating to lose weight. Is that healthy?"
"...!!!" Ling Yi was immediately dumbfounded. He looked at his mother blankly, widened his eyes and asked, "Mom, what are you doing? You said this, I'm just taking the blame! "
Qi Shiyun held her rice bowl, lowered her head and smiled sullenly, and at the same time warned herself in her heart: 'You must hold it back, you must hold it back, and you must not let him see me gloating about my misfortune! '
"What's wrong with what I said? Can't I say it wrong?" Ji Lanying scolded: "Besides, if it weren't for you heartless men, do you think all women like to lose weight?"
"..." Ling Yi fell silent. He now understood that whatever he said was wrong, and the best way was to remain silent.
"Dad, don't be sad, I'll come and hug you when Xiaoxiao finishes eating this poached egg!" Xiaoxiao said vaguely with a big mouthful of eggs fed by her grandma in her mouth.
"Huh?" This familiar scene happened again!
Ling Yi learned the lesson this time, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Stop hugging me now. If you open your mouth twice, I will be kicked twice. Your hug is a bit evil."
"Bang!" Ling Guozhong raised his hand and hit Ling Yi on the head with a chestnut, and then said fiercely: "What do you mean? Your daughter wants to hug you, but you don't want to? Come on, tell me, you won't To hold your daughter, who do you want to hold?”
As he spoke, Ling Guozhong was about to take off the belt around his waist.
When Ling Yi saw this, he immediately surrendered and said: "Hug, hug, hug! I will hug her after she finishes eating! Whoever doesn't hug her grandson!"
"Plop~" Qi Shiyun endured it for a while, but when she saw Ling Yi raising his hands in surrender, he finally broke through and burst out laughing.
Although Xiaoxiao didn't know why, when he saw his mother laughing, he immediately followed up and laughed loudly.
Her childlike clear and crisp laughter was like a bright light on a winter night, instantly illuminating the Ling family's old house, which had not heard any laughter for several years, making the spring flowers bloom with joy.
Looking at this joyful scene in front of him, Ling Yi's heart almost melted.
For the past hundred thousand years, what Ling Yi has been thinking about day and night, isn't it just to have such a scene?
Seeing his daughter and Qi Shiyun smiling like flowers, and recalling the hundred thousand years of life and death and the extremely painful time of cultivating immortals, Ling Yi had to sigh: 'It was all worth it! '
Now I just have to wait for my sister to come back tomorrow, and the family will really be together.
He has endured for a hundred thousand years, and this time he can finally have a happy New Year together as a family!
'Just, sister, will you forgive me? '
