Chapter 162 Can You Hug Me?
It's no wonder Niu Tian was nervous; anyone who saw his bedroom would be stunned and dizzy from its bizarre decor!
The entire room was filled with water.
There was a small pool built under the bed, and various sized basins filled with water were placed around the bed. Even several buckets were hanging from the ceiling.
In a person's bedroom, having so much water would seem strange to anyone.
Moreover, Xiao Yun was particularly curious by nature.
"Brother Niu, why do you have so much water in your bedroom?" Xiao Yun asked, her face full of confusion.
Niu Tian's face turned purple for a moment as he stammered, "I... I'm afraid of fire..."
Afraid of fire?
Where would the fire come from?
Xiao Yun asked, "Why?"
Niu Tian scratched his head a bit awkwardly and said, "I don't really know why. I don't even know when it started, but I often dream that I'm surrounded by a huge fire... You see how dark and thin I am? That's because I've been burned by fire in my dreams!"
"You know that water can extinguish fire, so I put all this water in my bedroom. It's strange, but ever since I did that, I stopped having those terrifying dreams. But once the water is gone, those dreams of being surrounded by fire come back..." he added.
To others, Niu Tian's words seemed utterly absurd, but when they reached Xiao Yun's ears, he couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise.
Could it be...
—Niu Tian is also an Attribute User, a Fire Attribute User?
The thought that he might be a Fire Attribute User left Xiao Yun utterly shocked.
However, for Niu Tian himself, he perhaps wasn't even aware of his potential as an Attribute User. Of course, he probably didn't have a clear understanding of what an Attribute User was either.
Xiao Yun felt a surge of excitement; if he could recruit someone like this in the future, it would definitely be a powerful ally for him.
Thinking this in his heart, he maintained a calm demeanor and said to Niu Tian, "Brother Niu, perhaps this is just your psychological effect. There's no need to take it so seriously. I'll see if I can find a way to help you with this psychological issue!"
"Thank you so much, Brother!" Niu Tian was taken aback to meet such a benefactor today and was filled with gratitude.
He truly didn't know how to express his thanks to Yun.
Xiao Yun smiled and patted Niu Tian on the shoulder, saying, "I have to head back now. You shouldn't go out today; just stay home and take care of your sister-in-law!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Niu Tian nodded repeatedly like an obedient child.
As he was about to leave, Xiao Yun remembered something and said to Niu Tian, "Brother Niu, actually, if a man wants to win a woman's heart, the most important thing is to be strong himself and provide her with a sense of security..."
"Actually, I am very strong," Niu Tian replied seriously. "That thing down there... it's very big..."
Boom!
Xiao Yun felt a darkness before his eyes, almost overwhelmed by the shock.
On the way back, Xiao Yun thought of Luo Mingyue. Ever since Feng Yue disappeared, he wondered how she had been these past few days.
In a way, she was still his woman, and he couldn't help but care.
Sitting in the taxi, Xiao Yun called Luo Mingyue. She told him that she had been busy with work at the company, which was running fairly well. The only thing troubling her was that Feng Wushuang was leaving home again.
"Xiao Yun, can you come over to my house for lunch? It would be nice to gather everyone and send Wushuang off," Luo Mingyue said.
Xiao Yun's heart stirred with surprise as he asked, "Sister Mingyue, why is Wushuang leaving home? Where is she going?"
"Let's talk about it when we meet," Luo Mingyue replied, her tone indicating she wasn't in a good mood.
It was understandable; her brother had suddenly left, and now her daughter was also going away. How could a woman bear such losses?
"I have nothing to do right now; I'll come over right away!" Xiao Yun said.
When he arrived at Luo Mingyue's door, Feng Wushuang came out from the study upon hearing his voice.
"Xiao Yun Ge..." She handed him a cup of tea.
Xiao Yun awkwardly smiled, unsure whether to respond or not. After all, he had already become like a brother to Luo Mingyue in bed; by that logic, she should call him 'little uncle.'
Fortunately, Luo Mingyue was busy cooking in the kitchen, sparing Xiao Yun much of his inner turmoil. He smiled and nodded, acknowledging her.
He raised his eyes to take a look at Feng Wushuang. It had been many days since they last met, and she had clearly lost a lot of weight. She wore a refreshing t-shirt paired with white shorts, her long hair tied up in a ponytail, resembling a high school girl, exuding a sense of innocence. However, her figure still retained its captivating allure.
Feng Wushuang sat down next to him, a faint fragrance wafting through the air that teased Xiao Yun's senses.
"Xiao Yun, why do you have time to come to my house today?" Feng Wushuang asked with a smile. Her tone and the expression in her eyes seemed to carry a hint of melancholy.
Xiao Yun felt a heaviness in his heart and regret surged within him. She was originally a proud and reserved woman; in others' eyes, she was indeed a goddess. If it weren't for his momentary lapse in judgment that led him to meddle with her life, how could she have become so despondent?
He forced a smile and replied, "I happened to pass by here today and thought I would stop by to see you."
Feng Wushuang smiled seductively and immediately turned assertive, saying, "See me? That can't be your true intention, can it?"
Xiao Yun was at a loss for words when Luo Mingyue emerged from the kitchen carrying two plates of food. Hearing her daughter's words, she noticed Xiao Yun's discomfort and smiled as she interjected, "Wushuang, how can you speak like that? Xiao Yun came here today because I invited him."
"That's more like it! Mom, do you know what he just said? He just happened to pass by... and thought he would stop by..." Feng Wushuang seized on Xiao Yun's words and shot him a teasing glance, proudly declaring it aloud.
Xiao Yun felt like slapping himself in frustration.
Luo Mingyue was momentarily stunned; she hadn't heard Xiao Yun's earlier comment and realized that instead of helping him out of the situation, she had inadvertently dug a pit for him to fall into.
"Alright then, I won't hold it against you. I'm going to help Mom with cooking now; you can reflect on your thoughts here!" She winked at him playfully before standing up and swaying her waist as she walked toward the kitchen.
Phew!
Xiao Yun let out a sigh of relief as if he had been granted amnesty, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Luo Mingyue cast him a flirtatious glance, walked over, and whispered with a light laugh, "That girl is still angry with you, so be careful when talking to her."
If I had known today would come, I wouldn't have acted so recklessly, Xiao Yun sighed inwardly. Who asked me to meddle and get involved in emotions?
The mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen while Xiao Yun sat alone in the living room, turning on the television and searching for his favorite shows. Time passed quickly like this, and in the blink of an eye, the mother and daughter had already brought all the dishes to the table.
Luo Mingyue had always helped her brother manage the company, making her a strong woman in the business world. No one would expect that she could also whip up such excellent dishes.
"It smells so good!" Xiao Yun pretended to drool as he grabbed his chopsticks and began to feast.
The mother and daughter stared at him eating, their eyes revealing different glimmers.
After a while...
Xiao Yun lifted his head from the plate and noticed that both of them were quietly watching him. He was taken aback and asked, "Why aren't you two eating?"
"Seeing you eat like that reminds me of Feng Yue at home!" Luo Mingyue still hadn't revealed to Feng Wushuang that Feng Yue was her biological brother.
Feng Wushuang's eyes turned red as she said, "Brother Xiao, your eating style is just like my dad's!"
Xiao Yun was momentarily speechless.
The room fell into a silent stillness.
Gulp!
Xiao Yun drank half a glass of water.
“Wushuang, I heard you are leaving this place. Can you tell me why?” Xiao Yun broke the awkward silence, getting straight to the point.
Feng Wushuang frowned and said, “I... I want to go to Beijing to develop my career. Singing is my second life, and I don’t want to give it up.”
“When are you leaving?”
“This afternoon at four-thirty!”
Xiao Yun was surprised. “You’re leaving so soon?”
“Yeah…” Feng Wushuang lowered her head, biting her lip, and nodded.
The room fell silent again.
“Brother Xiao…” Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.
Xiao Yun turned to look at Feng Wushuang.
Feng Wushuang's face turned red as she softly said, “Can you hug me before I leave?”
