Chapter 45: Sister-in-law's Thoughts
The door was flung open, and Liu Ziyan and Han Xing rushed in like two birds taking flight.
While Xiao Yun was cultivating, the two sisters-in-law dared not leave. This was not only because Xiao Yun had once helped them, but also because this oddball had taken root in their hearts. On the surface, he appeared to be an ordinary country bumpkin, yet there was an undeniable charm about him that made one reluctant to let go.
Especially his eyes; when he looked at people, they were so pure and clear, like a serene lake that seemed capable of reflecting one's very soul.
After Han Xing closed the door behind her as she left the bedroom, they remained outside, not moving an inch.
"Sister-in-law, you go greet the guests. I'll take care of Xiao Yun here!" Han Xing said.
Initially, when Han Xing was sent by her sister-in-law to invite Xiao Yun, she did not think highly of him. However, after interacting with him, her perception changed completely. Not only did Xiao Yun defeat those who came to cause trouble effortlessly, but he also performed the unbelievable feat of healing her sister-in-law, who had been in a wheelchair for many years.
Moreover, his method of treatment was so unique: painting bones!
It was almost mythical!
Unfortunately, despite their numerous attempts to keep Xiao Yun in Phoenix City, he politely declined. This left Han Xing very upset. In her mind, did she really lack any charm to attract him?
For a girl, it was a significant blow to her self-esteem.
In the days that followed, whenever Han Xing found herself alone, she secretly pondered about what kind of person Xiao Yun truly was.
At first, she wanted to keep Xiao Yun around simply because she hoped he could help her sister-in-law manage the family business left by her brother.
But later on, she realized that every time she thought of him, there was an inexplicable feeling stirring within her, like the budding grass in early spring beginning to grow... What kind of emotion was that?
Is it love at first sight?
Uh, no way. I, Han Xing, can't be that superficial, right?
Then what is it?
Unexpectedly, this afternoon while Han Xing was out shopping, she found Xiao Yun fainted on the ground. This left her both surprised and delighted: surprised that someone as unique as him could be beaten to such a state; delighted that she finally encountered him again.
Moreover, Xiao Yun's appearance allowed her to show off a bit:
—It was I who saved him!
Recalling the scene earlier in the room when he had grabbed her chest, her face flushed with embarrassment. She thought to herself, she originally believed this guy was just an unrefined Liu Xia Hui, but it turns out he is also a lecherous man!
If he were truly that kind of perverted man, Han Xing would definitely feel disgusted. The problem is, his every word and smile exuded such innocence.
Even his lewdness felt so innocent.
Thinking this way, Han Xing found herself hoping his injuries would heal more slowly so she could have more reasons to stay with him for a few more days.
The changes in Han Xing's expression did not escape Liu Ziyan's notice. She secretly thought that this girl must have developed feelings for Xiao Yun.
Liu Ziyan affectionately stroked her little sister-in-law's face and chuckled softly, "Xing'er, the guests have their own people to attend to. Let your sister-in-law chat with you for a while."
Han Xing smiled and replied, "Sister-in-law, we see each other every day. There's not that much to talk about!"
"You little brat! Is it because Xiao Yun is here that you think your sister-in-law talks too much? Why don't you say that on ordinary days?"
Han Xing's face turned even redder, her eyes glistening with moisture as she lowered her head and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? If it weren't for him saving you back then and helping us in Phoenix City, I wouldn't even bother to look at him!"
"Hehe," Liu Ziyan replied, "Xing'er, is that really how you feel? Then I'll make sure to tell Xiao Yun what you said!"
"Ah... no way, sister-in-law..." Han Xing panicked, her face changing color instantly.
Liu Ziyan chuckled, "Look at how scared you are. Hey, I've been through this too; I can tell you like him. I'm supporting you."
Suddenly, Han Xing seemed to remember something. Her face flushed even more, and her eyes sparkled like a pool of spring water as she whispered, "If... if I really manage to win over Xiao Yun in the future, sister-in-law, let's both marry him! That way, I'll have a companion too!"
Uh—Sister-in-law marrying the same man?
Hearing her sister-in-law's words felt like being struck by lightning for Liu Ziyan. This girl must be out of her mind to think like that!
Is there really anyone in this world who shares a husband with their sister-in-law?
It seems this little sister-in-law has fallen deeply for the surname Xiao, which is why she has such a foolish idea.
Sigh, this girl...
Liu Ziyan was almost overwhelmed by embarrassment. "Xing'er, how can you say something like that?"
"What does it matter?" Han Xing tilted her head and thought for a moment. "That guy Xiao Yun is quite capable; I can see that many women will definitely like him in the future. Since heaven has given us this opportunity now, we shouldn't let it slip away. If I can really tie him down, then I must make sure to keep my sister-in-law close too..."
Liu Ziyan felt her heart racing at her words. The speed of her heartbeat reached an extreme point; it felt like it might leap out of her body.
This little sister-in-law, how can she speak so freely? She has no reservations at all and can say such things?
Liu Ziyan thought this way, yet a wave of sweetness surged in her heart.
This feeling also carried a hint of bitterness.
On the surface, her sister-in-law appeared cold and frosty, even giving outsiders the impression of being somewhat unapproachable; however, only she, as the sister-in-law, understood that Han Xing was very lonely, and one could even say she was quite fragile.
The pride she displayed outwardly was merely a layer of protection.
In terms of her feelings for Xiao Yun, Han Xing was essentially looking for a spiritual bodyguard for herself.
Liu Ziyan sighed softly, raised a finger, and poked Han Xing's forehead hard, playfully scolding, "You little girl, really have no shame. It's as if you already know what Xiao Yun is to you. You talk so freely without any restraint!"
"I..." Han Xing felt her face flush with embarrassment from her sister-in-law's words. "I just thought so. Besides, sister-in-law, you're not an outsider..."
Han Xing's words touched Liu Ziyan's heart. To be honest, it would truly make her sad when Han Xing eventually got married. Ever since her husband passed away, she and this little sister-in-law had relied on each other for support through thick and thin. They had long been in the same boat together; that kind of bond was not something ordinary people could compare to.
While the two sisters-in-law were chatting idly, suddenly a long howl from Xiao Yun came from the bedroom. They were startled and didn't know what had happened. With a loud bang, the door burst open.
The two rushed into the bedroom and were momentarily stunned to find it completely empty. The windows were intact—where had Xiao Yun gone?
Liu Ziyan and Han Xing exchanged glances, unsure of what to do when they suddenly heard a voice from behind them: "Ladies, what are you doing?"
