Gu Li didn’t feel surprised at all, nodded and said, "Don’t worry, boss, leave it to me!"
"Great!"
Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction, then immediately left Lingyun Island and teleported back to Shiliu Village.
He hadn’t returned to this hometown in quite a while.
After arriving home, a familiar sense of warmth washed over him. Ling Feng took a deep breath and mused to himself, "Home is still the best!"
Just after he spoke, the door creaked open, and Li Yumei came in carrying a basin of water.
Their eyes met, and Li Yumei froze, almost dropping the basin.
Fortunately, Ling Feng quickly stepped forward to catch it.
Putting down the basin, Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Why so flustered?"
"You, why are you back?" Li Yumei asked, her face full of surprise and joy.
"Just finished some things, and since I have time, I came to visit you and everyone else." Ling Feng said.
"Oh."
Li Yumei’s face blushed as she continued, "Coming back without notice, you’re so sudden, I didn’t expect it."
"Just wanted to give you a surprise!"
Ling Feng laughed, pulled Li Yumei closer and hugged her, "How have you been lately?"
"Quite well, the company is on track now, I don’t have to worry about it, young folks are handling everything." Li Yumei said.
"Oh, is that so?"
Ling Feng nodded at this and asked, "What have you been busy with lately?"
"Not much, sometimes going to Lingyun Island, but most of the time still in the village." Li Yumei said.
"Why, can’t bear to leave here?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes, it still feels good at home."
Li Yumei looked up at him, "With you not here, there’s no one to take care of the house, so I’ve been coming over every day to sweep the floor, wipe the dust, and so on."
"It’s really hard work for you."
Feeling touched, Ling Feng hugged her even tighter.
Their bodies pressed closely together, Li Yumei felt an unprecedented sense of fullness, her heart accelerated wildly.
This affection transcended the physical realm; it was a mental satisfaction, much more fulfilling than physical satisfaction.
After a moment of embrace, Ling Feng asked, "By the way, how about Sister Lan and the others?"
"They’re all on Lingyun Island. Haven’t you seen them?" Li Yumei asked.
"Uh, I hurried back. Earlier, I was there to discuss things with Gu Li, so I didn’t meet everyone." Ling Feng said.
"Then if you have free time, go and see them. Although Sister Lan’s group doesn’t say it, they actually miss you a lot." Li Yumei whispered.
Ling Feng smiled, patted her back, "You too, right? Let’s go to the island, have a good chat with everyone, then head to Shallow Blue Star, how about it?"
"I won’t go, this is our home, I can’t bear to leave."
Li Yumei said, then continued, "Also, Wang Lao and Chu Lao don’t want to leave here, I sometimes go see them."
"I haven’t visited them for a while either, let’s go to the villa!"
Ling Feng smiled, released Li Yumei, and then took her hand.
After they stepped outside, without warning, he held Li Yumei and soared into the sky!
With a gasp, Li Yumei found herself in the air, her eyes widened in shock.
Fortunately, she was in Ling Feng’s arms; otherwise, she’d surely be terrified.
In a blink, they flew to the villa’s plaza. As they landed, those who rushed out immediately halted.
The people there were the Chu Family’s guards, responsible for security.
Seeing someone flying in, they initially thought there was an attack.
But realizing it was Ling Feng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Feng smiled, holding Li Yumei’s hand as they headed straight for Chu Nan’s study, asking along the way, "Do the two old men still play chess and fish every day?"
"Yes, the two elders live quite leisurely." Li Yumei nodded.
Upon reaching Chu Nan’s study, Ling Feng didn’t knock, just pushed the door open.
Wang Laogen and Chu Nan looked up, and upon seeing Ling Feng enter, they simultaneously rubbed their eyes.
After confirming it was indeed him, Wang Laogen stood up, "You rascal! Thought we’d never see you again!"
"What nonsense!"
Ling Feng chuckled, seeing the old man’s vitality, and fewer wrinkles on his face than before, said with a smile, "Even if I walk to the end of the universe, this is still my home, I must come back!"
"Good to see you still have a conscience!"
Wang Laogen nodded, turned to Chu Nan, "Always talking about Ling Feng, now he’s back, got nothing to say?"
"For a moment, I don’t know what to say."
Chu Nan didn’t hide his excitement, stood up, and looked at Ling Feng, "You’ve changed a lot!"
"Not really, my skills have increased a bit, but I’m still the same person!"
Ling Feng laughed, stepped forward, "You two sit down, who’s winning and losing today?"
"Of course, it’s me! Old Chu is no match for me!" Wang Laogen said.
"Stop bragging, wasn’t it me who won the last round?" Chu Nan retorted.
Seeing the two old men about to argue again, Ling Feng didn’t stop them, instead, he found the scene familiar, as if returning to the past.
But Li Yumei quickly interjected, "Alright, stop bickering, you’ve been worried about Ling Feng all the time, now that he’s back, shouldn’t you quickly ask how he’s been?"
Hearing this, Wang Laogen and Chu Nan ceased their argument.
Wang Laogen then asked, "This time, are you back for a short rest, or are you completely free?"
"Having complete freedom is hard, but indeed there’s time to rest a bit more recently." Ling Feng smiled.
"Good then!"
Wang Laogen nodded, glanced at Chu Nan, "Are you going to make arrangements or not?"
"I know!"
Chu Nan gave him a look, then pressed the intercom on the desk, "Ling Feng is back, prepare a feast tonight, I want to entertain him well!"
"Understood."
A male voice came from the intercom, presumably the housekeeper of the estate, also part of the Chu Family.
Ling Feng thought to himself that he was indeed staying for a while.
Anyway, he hadn’t planned to leave after just a glance; staying to spend more time with the two old men and observing the changes in the hometown was good.
So he got up and said, "Elders, I’ll have a good talk with you during dinner. Let me take Yu Mei for a walk now."
"Alright then, we won’t hold you young ones back, go ahead!" Chu Nan waved his hand generously.
Wang Laogen’s lips moved but he didn’t speak.
Thus, Ling Feng took Li Yumei’s hand out the door. Outside, he smilingly asked, "We might not have time to look around, let’s head to a high place, see the changes in the village!"
"That’s fine, but don’t scare everyone. There aren’t many people who can fly on Earth!" Li Yumei reminded.
