Chapter 589: She Smiled Happily

Luo Shu waited at the street corner for a full half an hour until Bai Wei returned, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She hurriedly took three steps and checked if Bai Wei’s hands, arms, and legs were still intact.

"It’s okay, really okay…"

"But I just saw your hand disappear."

"Zhi Ge, are you really okay?"

Bai Wei shook his head. "No problem, just encountered a wicked cultivator. I arrested him and took him to the police station. Maybe I’ll even get a little trophy and 500 bucks in return."

In fact, it was 500,000, but unfortunately, it was turned into minced meat and cremated on the spot.

I worked hard to prevent the Ming Country from getting involved.

Auntie didn’t relax or feel relieved when she heard this. She sighed with worry, "The world is really unsafe. Even going out to buy vegetables can lead to such incidents, really…"

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Maybe that’s how it is for Auntie."

Luo Shu raised her head and forced a smile. "You figured it out?"

"I see." Bai Wei nodded, "Aunt is not human."

Luo Shu bit her lip, her face pale. She was always afraid of the Bai family finding out about this. Once her true identity was recognized, Grandpa would surely reject her. She had worked hard all her life for the sake of her family, and Grandpa was always a bit skeptical of outsiders, let alone non-humans.

The people in the Ming Country have more conservative beliefs. There are some who are accepting of gods and monsters, but not the older generation. Many families have been harmed by monsters, and they would rather see a world without them.

What will happen next? Will I be blamed? Rejected or despised?

Her heart sank involuntarily.

Then Bai Wei asked, "I have a question…"

Luo Shu interrupted, "I just live peacefully with him. I haven’t done anything. If you dislike it, I hope you can keep it a secret from others. Enough, considering all the years we’ve been family…"

"Do paper people need to use the bathroom?" Bai Wei added the second half of the sentence.

"Hmm?"

The two people’s gazes met, and they suddenly noticed the subtle psychological difference between each other.

Luo Shu raised her hand and threatened to hit, angrily asking, "What did you say to Auntie?"

Bai Wei covered his head, defensively, and received a bump, then burst into laughter, saying, "This is not the first time I’ve seen a two-dimensional paper person, so I couldn’t help but be curious… Oh, I mean, the paper people in the animation are also similar to Auntie, they don’t need to go to the bathroom, right?"

Luo Shu took a deep breath, laughing and scolding, "You little scoundrel, I almost forgot, you’re just like your uncle."

She held her forehead with her hand, and the anxious feeling in her heart quickly disappeared, but she also nostalgically said, "Even the questions you ask are similar."

"Did Uncle ask too?"

"Hmm." Auntie nodded. "Even used it."

"Cough, cough, cough…" Bai Wei choked.

"In front and behind."

"…" Bai Wei clenched his fist, saying sorry, I was too arrogant.

"After all, they are husband and wife, this kind of thing is very normal." Aunt couldn’t help but feel sad. "Unfortunately, I am not a living person after all, just a wisp of spirit and a medium. No matter how much I do, it’s useless, I can’t help the child ascend."

… So you really don’t need to go to the bathroom.

Bai Wei understood.

Luo Shu teased, "If you’re really interested, perhaps you could find a paper person as a wife?"

After thinking for a while, Bai Wei shook his head and said, "I prefer battleships and mobile suits."

Luo Shu whispered, "They are not living beings after all. Actually, keeping this secret makes me feel exhausted and difficult. It would be nice to have a legal wife. I wouldn’t mind being a concubine."

"Uncle didn’t agree, did he?"

"He agreed."

"Huh?"

Luo Shu smiled helplessly, "He said he didn’t like any other women. He said they weren’t as beautiful as me, or as virtuous, understanding or caring as me… If he were to remarry just for the sake of having children, then it wouldn’t be true love."

Bai Wei laughed awkwardly twice, "My uncle really lives up to his nickname, the old otaku."

Luo Shu took the initiative to share some of her thoughts because she had kept this secret in her heart for too long. Keeping it hidden had become a burden on her, always feeling guilty and sorry towards her loved ones.

"After all, I’m not human. I don’t even have the ability to protect myself. Living among humans, it’s inevitable to be swayed by the current. If my family were to find out, it probably wouldn’t end well. So I only wanted to hide it, I never thought it would be discovered."

"It doesn’t matter if someone is not human." Bai Wei said calmly, "Even without monsters and demons, humans themselves create conflicts among each other, and the results are the same. It’s just that the differences in race amplify these distinctions… Aunt’s troubles, I’m afraid she still cannot protect herself."

"Hmm." Luo Shu forced a smile, she also had her own helplessness. Hiding her true self was not easy. For all these years, she had been living cautiously, even afraid to go out alone. For the fairy in the painting, she wasn’t really considered human, just a painting, an expensive antique.

In an era where even cardboard boxes left outside would be taken away, it was possible for her precious item to be snatched or stolen at any time. Moreover, the people who could see her true identity had some skills, and she was powerless to resist. She could only try to live a simple and secluded life as much as possible.

Bai Wei asked, "When did Auntie arrive?"

"I’m not sure, I have only been awakened for a few decades," Luo Shu shook her head. "I don’t remember the past, I don’t even know who the woman in the painting is. I’m just a spirit born from the painting."

"It’s a pity, if I had been transformed by a fairy, there might be a way for me to become human," Bai Wei admitted that he had never studied this topic and couldn’t help.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore," Luo Shu said. "It’s time to go back."

"Okay," Bai Wei didn’t ask any further questions.

"Wait," Luo Shu suddenly called to him.

Bai Wei turned around and saw Auntie tiptoeing, reaching out to touch his head.

"I’m sorry, Auntie actually doubted you, but you are a good child, Bai Wei."

"…"

Bai Wei felt a mix of emotions, and his face turned red with heat.

Even after being a brother and a father for many lifetimes, this was the first time he was treated like a child, and his feelings were complicated.

Back in the Ming Country, he felt like his social status had dropped several levels. He was being treated like a son, nephew, and grandson all at once.

Carrying a basket of vegetables, he returned home. Along the way, his aunt’s mood was good. It took him five to six minutes to walk half a street, purposely slowing down and engaging in conversation.

Luo Shu appeared young but had a mature mindset. She spent her days doing household chores and eagerly watching TV dramas at the scheduled time. She also showed interest in things that interested her aunts and uncles. She began subtly asking Bai Wei about his intentions regarding marriage, without pressuring him, but she constantly hinted at whether or not he had a preferred girl in mind. Strangely, she didn’t ask about the painter that Bai Wei accidentally killed, nor did she care about how strong he had become or why. If it were Bai Xinghui in the same situation, she would definitely inquire further, but Luo Shu didn’t seem to care at all.

Bai Wei struggled with Luo Shu, who treated him like a half-mother, and his social anxiety made him tongue-tied.

As he arrived at his doorstep, he let out a sigh of relief, thinking he was finally free.

Then he took out his keys, opened the door, and glanced inside.

He swallowed back the words he wanted to say to Matsushita just now.

It had only been less than an hour since she went out, and there was already an extra visitor at home.

The harmonious atmosphere in the air had completely disappeared, becoming as cold as if the air conditioning was on full blast in winter, chilling to the bone.

Both sisters were welcoming a guest, maintaining their smiles. But anyone could see that these smiles lacked sincerity, not forced, but rather insincere.

"I’ve been waiting for you." Ao Hanli seemed completely unaware of the atmosphere, gracefully smiling, "I’ve arrived."

…You? You’ve come.

"Good afternoon, Hanli." Bai Wei greeted, appearing calm and composed.

"Wrong." Ao Hanli raised her finger.

"What?"

"You got the name wrong." Ao Hanli corrected, "Didn’t we agree on this?"

Swish, swish, swish!

Several pairs of eyes fell on Bai Wei, like swords striking him, causing blood to gush out.

Bai Wei prepared his emotions and greeted as naturally as possible.

"Good afternoon, Lili."

Ao Hanli’s smile bloomed like a lotus in misty rain, gentle and tender.

"Hmm, good afternoon, Wei."
