Migration 1245

, which shows his entire face exposed with the skin peeled off, must have been taken when they brought him out of the morgue.His eyeballs rolled up and to the sides, his entire face was dark and devoi...To avoid suspicion, Mu Wanchen did not walk in. He only stood outside the screen, slightly tilting his head, he could see his profile from the gap in the screen.

He listened quietly as we spoke, his gaze fixed on the floor of the cabin, lost in thought.

Ms. Xue saw me turn back to look at her and smiled faintly: "You are brave and have good eyesight. This man looks very reliable..."

I purse my lips. It wasn't me who picked him, he picked me.

Sometimes I really don't know what karma is all about. My great-grandmother tried every which way to get out of the Buddhist path, and yet here I am, stumbling right into it.

Once you delve into the realms of yin and yang, it's a continuous cycle of cause and effect. Outsiders may find it mysterious and intriguing, but those within this circle tread carefully and with caution.

Ordinary people are so good, they can be free and easygoing, without having to bear so many secrets, family background, inheritance...

"Originally, your mother-in-law was going to keep you." Ms. Xue looked at me with a half-smile.

“Fortunately, I wasn't left in that village with that crazy monster running around.”

“In my mother-in-law’s generation, seniority was paramount. The eldest son and daughter were expected to take over the family business, while the youngest son and daughter were entrusted with some secrets. So when your grandmother brought you back home, she left Yin Yue here... After all...” Madam Xue glanced at my father, her voice softening: “After all, Senior Brother also needed someone to inherit the family business. So Grandmother insisted on keeping you, but I secretly took you away and gave you to your father.”

My old man is such a useless fool. When Ms. Xue called out "Brother," his face broke into a goofy grin and he stammered, "Ah, back then I had the moon on my back and Luor on my chest... luckily my fellow brothers were there to meet me, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to drive back... both of them cried really hard."

Mrs. Xue smiled faintly: "Once we leave the enchantment, your mother-in-law won't come after us... They dislike the outside world."

"You don't like it either," my father said, a bitterness in the corner of his smile.

Ms. Xue glanced at him: "I stayed because I couldn't leave. Who would watch those inhuman things if I left My mother passed away early, and my grandmother is very old."

"But you, a woman, have to take care of both the inside and outside of the house. When I don't see you, I worry so much about you... Every time I see you, you impatiently chase me away. And when I get home, I see two children and I still have to act like nothing is wrong..." My father said, almost crying.

I'm so angry, yet amused, and a little bit want to cry.

It's a beautiful wish that lovers will eventually find happiness together. Many couples, however, never get to be together. Even among those who do, very few are able to live happily ever after.

Through the ages, countless scholars have fallen prey to the power of love, their poems and songs expressing a depth of melancholy that words can scarcely capture.

My father cleared his throat and stopped talking about the sad subject. He chuckled and diverted the conversation, saying, “But Yue'er has been so well-behaved, following me without a single cry. It’s little Lu'er who’s been crying her eyes out, making my scalp crawl. For the first few days after we brought her back, she cried all night long, keeping the whole household restless.”

Ms. Xue smiled: “Because she was scared by the evil spirits in that small village, the baby’s soul was still unstable, so I didn't dare to let go for a moment. When she cried, I breastfed her. You don't even see how much weight she gained when you handed her over, she was as round as a pumpkin.”

Although her eyes still held that haughty smile, there was a touch of triumph in them as she spoke.

I was speechless.

Mu Wanchen outside the screen, hearing the word "Winter Melon," smiled gently.

That light chuckle woke me up. I realized then that my eyes were red-rimmed, tears threatening to spill.

Ms. Xue's lip shape is very beautiful, with a diamond-shaped soft lip that resembles a cherry when slightly pouted, and becomes strikingly glamorous when the corners of her mouth are raised.

She smiled and said, "Back then, I gave birth to you under the pressure from my mother-in-law. Eighteen years later, you carried me out of the forest. Every sip of water and every morsel of food we've shared isn't a coincidence, it was destined."

I dabbed at my nose, holding back tears: "So... you're so unfilial. Shouldn't Grandma have punished you"

Grandma I've unconsciously started using honorifics.

Ms. Xue smiled wryly: "Back then, I was weak and she punished me once, but she wouldn't go too hard. After all, I still had to maintain that barrier. Besides, she was getting old, and I had to be there for her when the time came... Now She's long since not my opponent, let alone able to punish me. You went last time, didn't she treat you well too"

"Are you okay I almost got scared to death by her! She looked like a monster..." My voice trailed off.

"Little Luo'er," Mu Wanchen suddenly spoke, I turned my head to look at him.

His eyes, peering through the gaps in the screen, looked at me softly. When our gazes met, he shook his head ever so slightly.

Don't push yourself too hard.

I think I hear him talking to me.

His gaze was so gentle, like the warmth in his palm, it calmed my slightly sour heart.

I took a deep breath, trying my best to steady my voice. "… then you should rest well at home. My father has been looking forward to your return day and night. I'll take care of the village matters... If the Witch clan can move there, you won't have to maintain order alone... And if Grandmother Tai doesn't want to come out, there are people nearby who will keep her company. As for any messages, I'll get them myself."

Ms. Xue raised an eyebrow and smiled, "With such a big belly, you're still running around"

"With the direction and exact location, we can open the gate, right Mu Wanchen will come with me." I scoffed.

My father walked out worried and asked Mu Wanchen, "Is it alright to take her out She's only been home peacefully for a few days..."

Mu Wanchen nodded slightly at my father's question and smiled, "She is restless. I will take good care of her, there won't be any accidents. Rest assured."

My father twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded. "Alright, it's better to settle this sooner rather than later, you guys be careful."

This time going out, I didn't have to rush. I specially bought a lot of things. Mu Wanchen watched me dragging two oversized suitcases and frowned, "What are you doing"

"...I should bring something for my grandmother-in-law, it's only polite. Thank her for being so generous and not taking me back."

Mu Wanchen shook his head helplessly and said, "Your attitude changed too quickly."

He opened the portal, and a chill swept through me. I was a bit nervous and asked, "Where does this portal lead to Are there demons and monsters in that village..."

"Would I throw you in with demons and monsters" he glared at me.

"Ooh, you're being scary." I grinned and dragged my suitcase inside. It had been ages since Mu Wanchen had scolded me like that. The way he looked at me was almost melting me, I could barely remember what his grumpy face used to look like.

I belong to the kind of person who is not very capable but has a relatively big heart. Because someone always takes care of trouble, and someone protects me when there's danger.

The way Mu Wanchen opened the door, of course I wouldn't think there was anything wrong. Who knew that with one foot out, I would suddenly slip—
