Chapter 338: Chapter 326 Important Information

After a while, Lu Yun looked at Shitou, who was still rubbing her belly, and asked in confusion, "Why are you constantly rubbing my belly?"

"Pain, from laughing, I’m helping you rub it."

Shitou said while trying to hold back his laughter.

"..." But my belly doesn’t hurt at all.

Lu Yun was speechless. Could this be considered a classic case of projecting one’s own feelings onto another?

Just because his own belly hurt from laughing, he assumed hers did too?

After some thought, she decided not to say anything and resignedly started to help Shitou rub his belly as well. Given the way he had just laughed, it would be strange if his belly didn’t hurt.

Shitou slightly lowered his head, feeling the soft touch of the small hand rubbing on his stomach, a ticklish sensation that scratched the depths of his soul. A look of enjoyment appeared on his face, and if you looked closely, you could see a gleam of triumphant joy in his eyes.

"I wonder if we’ll have the opportunity to visit home once we get to Capital City?" After rubbing Shitou’s little belly for a while and feeling it was enough, Lu Yun stopped and asked Shitou worriedly.

She had been away from home for so long, and she missed her dad and mom.

"Since we’ve got the chance to go back to Capital City, how could we not visit home? We are not like Yu the Great, who passed his home three times without entering," Shitou could not help but laugh upon hearing this.

Finding some reassurance, Lu Yun walked around the room, taking a look here and there before finally facing Shitou with her hands spread, "Since we can go home, there’s nothing much to pack anyway. We have everyday items and clothes at home; when the time comes, we’ll just need to pack a few clothes from home to take to the South Sea."

"Lazy girl." Shitou couldn’t resist and playfully swiped Lu Yun’s nose.

"You... why have you developed a bad habit of nicknaming people lately?" Lu Yun glared discontentedly and bared her teeth fiercely at Shitou, "Do you know how long I’ve been putting up with you?"

"How come even when you’re mad, you’re so cute?"

Watching Lu Yun bare her teeth, Shitou found her so incredibly cute, like a little kitten trying to act fierce, even the way her paws reached out had a cute charm to them that made it hard not to tease her.

"Wuwu... we have a generation gap now, three years make a generation; you calculate how many gaps we have between us. Anyway, I can’t talk to you anymore." Lu Yun covered her face.

"What generation gap? Even if it were a sky gap, I would find a way to make it disappear," Shitou protested, and his face suddenly turned stern.

"Shitou the mighty."

At his words, Lu Yun suddenly leaned on Shitou’s shoulder and started to giggle uncontrollably.

Shitou also started laughing and had to make sure to support her so she wouldn’t slide down from all the laughter.

After enough laughter, Lu Yun then asked Shitou, "We should prepare a gift for your little niece for this trip back, right? We missed her full moon celebration last time, and though mom and dad sent a grand gift on our behalf, this trip back will be our first meeting with her."

"You’ve got lots of good things over there; just take any of them, it’ll be fine. You decide," Shitou said nonchalantly.

"It’s nice to give a child a longevity lock, and we have plenty of gold and jade locks, but what if I find it annoying that those are old?" Lu Yun looked conflicted.

"What’s the trouble with that? I remember we’ve got plenty of gold bars, right? Just take them out and show me a design of a longevity lock, and I can mold a new one just like it on the spot."

Shitou made it sound so easy. They used to be able to remove engravings from gold and jade jewelry even when their spiritual power wasn’t that high, so shaping a new item was certainly not a problem now.

"That’s exactly what I was waiting to hear. What’s Xiaobao’s name again? Let’s engrave her name on it while we’re at it," Lu Yun said triumphantly, clearly delighted.

"Pei Xin, nicknamed Xinxin."

"I remember now, hurry up and get to work," Lu Yun urged.

"Still won’t admit you’re just a lazy girl," Shitou reached out and gently scraped her nose, which was as white as jade, lingering on her face for a moment, "Your skin has become even whiter and smoother now."

"I think it’s even more delicate than a freshly peeled egg."

At that, Shitou paused and added another sentence on purpose, leaving Lu Yun not knowing whether to be angry or laugh. She threw the gold lock and gold ingots at him, annoyed, "Get to work quickly."

...

Early the next morning, Lu Yun finally packed a bag. However, inside it was mostly just a gesture with a few clothes for the two of them—the main contents were Shitou’s clothes because Lu Yun already had plenty of hers in the space.

On the helicopter, Lu Yun suddenly saw many new faces. With their fervent gazes and the enthusiastic greetings calling her "sister-in-law," Lu Yun found herself overwhelmed. She inwardly cried out that she couldn’t take it anymore, and in the end, it was Shitou who helped her fend them off.

As soon as they got off the helicopter, Pei Qingyuan’s driver, who was already waiting, came forward and respectfully said to them, "The old man has been waiting for you."

Shitou returned the salute with a nod, "Let’s go."

The journey was silent.

The car sped all the way to Pei Qingyuan’s office building.

"Grandpa, hello."

"Grandpa, hello."

Upon seeing him, Lu Yun immediately noticed that after his medicinal bath, Pei Qingyuan, unsurprisingly, looked as rejuvenated as her own grandparents—Lu Yun’s Uncle and Auntie—appearing a full twenty years younger, around just over fifty, and in high spirits.

"Haha, good to have you back. Come on, I’ll take you to a place first, let you see something before we talk," Pei Qingyuan said.

Seeing the couple’s cheerful mood, Qingyuan gladly led them somewhere without further ado, cloaked in mystery, not even answering their questions.

Shitou and Lu Yun, filled with curiosity, followed behind Pei Qingyuan, passing through layers of guards and secret sentinels.

"This looks like a very secret place. The saying ’three steps a sentry, five steps a post’ isn’t an exaggeration at all," Shitou secretly communicated to Lu Yun.

The further they went, the tighter the security became. Several checkpoints even had thick steel doors, and even with Pei Qingyuan’s personal arrival, he couldn’t avoid being asked to show his identification.

"Could it be a place where important documents are kept?" Lu Yun also communicated telepathically.

"Mmm, very likely," Shitou replied.

As they finally arrived at the destination, he saw his grandfather pass over a document. Then someone led them to a deserted room. Soon enough, someone brought in a sealed packet of documents and then left, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

Pei Qingyuan picked up the packet, skillfully opened it, and beckoned to them, signaling them to come over and look together.

Since they had already come in safely and even if the documents were important, it meant they were allowed to view them. Lu Yun and Shitou didn’t put on airs or waste words, they naturally sat down across from Pei Qingyuan and watched as he emptied a bunch of photos and a small stack of files from the envelope.

"Start by looking at these photos," Pei Qingyuan said as he picked up one of the photos and handed it to Shitou, and then picked up another and passed it to Lu Yun.
