Chapter 461: Chapter 461 "Home"_1

"Hi~ Meeting again~"

"Eh?!"

"What’s up?"

Feng Yuan looked at Li Xiaowei with some confusion, and the latter responded with a smile and a shake of her head,

"Nothing much, are you heading back now?"

"Yeah, but you are..."

Li Xiaowei excitedly waved the chopsticks in her hand and said,

"The last livestream went really well, so this time I plan to livestream an underwater trip in the Black Sea~ Everyone is heading to the mountains now, I want to create something different~"

"By the way, do you want to join? Diving is super fun~"

Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji, who looked downcast, and toyed with its tuft of hair, asking,

"Want to go diving?"

Xiao Ji nodded woodenly, and then suddenly it dawned on him; he stared at Feng Yuan in horror and screamed. Covering his ears, Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"If you don’t want to go, just say so. Why make such a fuss..."

Seeing Xiao Ji glaring at her, Li Xiaowei expressed her surprise,

"Diving is really fun, the underwater world is so different from land, it’s very interesting."

After finally placating Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"It doesn’t like water, and besides, it’s still sort of winter, right? Diving in this weather... I find it as odd as you eating at this hour."

"The temperature near the Black Sea is not low, and what’s up with me eating? Isn’t it normal to eat when you’re hungry?"

"I didn’t say it wasn’t, but it’s almost 1 a.m. Aren’t you afraid of gaining weight eating at this time?"

Li Xiaowei, seeing Feng Yuan’s mischievous grin, said with disdain,

"I’m not worried, I’m the type of person who never gains weight no matter what I eat."

"Is that so~"

They chatted while eating in the dining car, and after finishing their meal, Feng Yuan returned to the coach with his Spirit Beast. Most people in the coach were already asleep. Perhaps because the night train catered to passengers with special needs, the coach had only sleeper compartments, each a private berth. As long as Feng Yuan wasn’t too noisy, he wouldn’t disturb anyone else’s rest.

He set Xiao Ji down on the bed and sat back against the wall, watching the shadows that occasionally flew past the window. Perhaps because Xiao Ji was in a bad mood, it couldn’t sleep and shifted closer to Feng Yuan, rubbing against him from time to time.

"It’s really nostalgic... spending the night on a train, looking forward to the journey the next day."

Feng Yuan said softly, his hand resting on Xiao Ji’s head. The phantom of Agunas landed on the table by the window and said,

"Have you ridden one before?"

"Of course... Back then there were no such comfortable private compartments, and although I was lucky enough to get a lower berth ticket during my travels, getting one for everyone together was impossible..."

"That seems like a long time ago~"

Little Green Snake gazed at the reminiscing Feng Yuan, wanting to do something but not knowing what he could do, feeling a silent urgency. Big Cat sat down against the wall on the empty seat beside them and closed his eyes.

Listening to Feng Yuan rambling about his memories, Xiao Ji eventually fell asleep, leaving only Little Green Snake and the phantom of Agunas quietly listening.

"Yo~ You’re here to pick me up~"

As soon as Feng Yuan stepped out of the station, he saw Ah Mu’s tall figure and waved at Qi Chen who was beside him, smiling mischievously. Qi Chen was at a loss for words upon seeing the additional Little Green Snake by Feng Yuan’s side. After a moment of silence, he asked Feng Yuan,

"Heading home now?"

After a brief pause, Feng Yuan grinned and replied,

"Sure~"

"You haven’t encountered any trouble, have you?"

On the bus, Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan, having seen the news about a large-scale attack in Shenhua City, he was somewhat worried about Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan smiled and responded,

"What trouble could I possibly encounter? Don’t you have faith in my strength?"

"It’s not that, it’s just..."

"I didn’t encounter any trouble, it was just running into a few idiots who were asking for it while escorting the Dreaming Dragon Baby back."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen asked nervously,

"Nothing happened, right?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and replied irritably,

"Relax, I didn’t have to intervene. Otherwise, don’t you think I would have been in the news?"

"You rascal..."

"What’s wrong with Xiao Ji?"

Qi Chen noticed that Xiao Ji had been keeping his head down in low spirits, so he asked with some confusion. He glanced at the Little Green Snake beside him and suspiciously stared at Feng Yuan, who said with some annoyance after a glance at Qi Chen,

"It has nothing to do with it. I have no clue what’s going on with it either, but I guess it hasn’t recovered from separating from the Dreaming Dragon Baby yet."

"After all, they played together for months, and suddenly... they’re apart."

Feng Yuan said in a low voice, gently stroking Xiao Ji’s head, while the Little Green Snake softly patted Xiao Ji’s back with its tail, hissing as if to comfort Xiao Ji.

"Do you want to eat something first?"

Seeing Feng Yuan lay down directly on his bed, Qi Chen glanced at the wall clock and asked. With closed eyes, Feng Yuan said tiredly,

"I’ll sleep for a bit... I’ll make something later..."

"Brother, he’s okay, right?"

Seeing Qi Chen close the door and step out, Qi Xiaoshuang asked in a low voice, somewhat worried. Qi Chen revealed a smile and said,

"Probably fine, he’s not as fragile as we thought."

"Is he really okay? The way he looks..."

"He’s just not slept enough, that’s all. I don’t know what the heck he did—traveling by night train, and still ends up looking like he didn’t get enough sleep. I wonder if he didn’t buy a sleeper ticket to save money."

Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at Qi Chen and said with annoyance,

"Brother, are you kidding? Where are there seated tickets on a night train?"

"No?"

Scratching his head, Qi Chen said glowingly; just then, a knock on the door sounded. Qi Xiaoshuang ran to open the door, turned around with a mischievous smile, and said to Qi Chen,

"Brother, guess who’s here?"

"Yanlan, right? She told me earlier."

"Che! Boring!"

Qi Xiaoshuang pouted and said discontentedly, while Dou Yanlan revealed a smile and asked,

"He’s back?"

"Yeah, seems like he’s not in big trouble. But I have no idea what he’s up to, looking like he hasn’t slept enough. He’s sleeping inside right now."

"Is that so... Ah Chen, will you join us?~"

Dou Yanlan lifted the shopping bag in her hand, smiled sweetly at Qi Chen, and said. Qi Xiaoshuang, with a look of goosebumps all over, said,

"You guys do your thing, I’m heading back to my room!"

Watching Qi Xiaoshuang flee in panic, Dou Yanlan revealed a victorious smile and said,

"Come on."

"Ugh... still a bit sleepy..."

Holding his head, Feng Yuan slowly sat up. Xiao Ji beside him seemed startled by Feng Yuan’s movement, lifted its head, blinked, and stared at Feng Yuan. After petting Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan yawned and said,

"Time to get up~ make something to eat~"

"Are you hungry?"

At Feng Yuan’s question, Xiao Ji nodded. Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan left the room. Seeing Big Cat accompanying Pomiti watching TV, Feng Yuan asked,

"Big Cat, are you guys hungry?"

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"They’ve already eaten. Your lunch is there. I was saying that if you don’t wake up later, I’d come to call you."

"Eh? Dou Yanlan, when did you get here?"

As Feng Yuan walked over, he saw Dou Yanlan, who had been hidden by the couch. She was sitting on the floor, combing Cotton’s fur with a small brush.

"Just now, don’t worry, all this food was made by Yanlan."

Perceiving Feng Yuan’s disdainful look, Qi Chen said with annoyance, well aware of his own cooking skills. Had Dou Yanlan not come over, he wouldn’t have been interested in preparing lunch for Feng Yuan.

"Is that so? Then I’ll have a taste."

Feng Yuan looked skeptically at Qi Chen, sat down, and began to taste his lunch. After finishing, Feng Yuan saw Xiao Ji still pecking at the lunch and looked around in confusion,

"Where’s the Little Green Snake? Where did it go?"

"I don’t know. I wasn’t paying attention to it just now."

Qi Chen looked around in surprise, and then Dou Yanlan spoke up,

"I think I saw it head to the backyard just now."
