Chapter 211. Vinegar Spirit
Arc E : Real World
TN:- 1 + 2 Extra Chapters, and it is over.
Qian Xing’s eyes widened slightly, and he looked frightened.
He knew that Shao Lingheng and Du Yan had something to discuss yesterday, but he didn’t expect that the discussion took place at Shao Lingheng’s home and lasted the entire night?
But now is not the time to think about these things. Qian Xing’s mind worked very quickly, and he said immediately: “Xiao Du, you arrived earlier than me?”
Afterward, he turned around and introduced Du Yan’s identity to Shao Lingheng’s parents.
Of course, Qian Xing introduced him as a personal assistant.
Du Yan smiled and greeted them but didn’t say anything much. After all, he and Shao Lingheng had just come clean in the real world. It was a matter involving the elders at home, so he should wait for Shao Lingheng to think it over before making a decision.
When Shao Lingheng came out with breakfast, he was slightly startled when he saw the people in the living room.
He asked: “Ba, Ma, do you want to have breakfast?”
Father Shao waved his hands: “We have already eaten, you eat first.”
The dining area in Shao Lingheng’s house is a small platform. There is no partition between the dining room and the living room, so the view is very clear.
When the family is together, there is not much to pay attention to, so Shao Lingheng and Du Yan sat in the dining area to eat breakfast.
Shao Lingheng asked: “Ba, Ma, why did you come here suddenly?”
Father and Mother Shao knew their son’s character and that he was always straightforward, so they didn’t think there was anything to be unhappy about.
Mother Shao smiled and said: “We are here to take you to see Dr. Zhao.”
Du Yan glanced at Shao Lingheng, a little confused, but it was not convenient to ask at this time.
Shao Lingheng didn’t have so many guesses. He said: “I have work arrangements for today, and I haven’t had nightmares recently, which is good.”
After that, he looked at Du Yan again: “Dr. Zhao is my psychiatrist. I have been having nightmares and my family is a little worried about my condition…”
Here, Shao Lingheng was explaining to Du Yan what exactly Dr. Zhao do, but on the other side, Father and Mother Shao turned around and looked over.
Is that person in the dining room really their son with emotional deficiency disorder?
Although Shao Lingheng’s face didn’t show much expression, his parents, who knew him very well, could hear yielding in his voice.
Shao Lingheng has always been a man of few words, and he never says a word unless it is necessary.
Now they just mentioned Dr. Zhao, and he hurriedly explained to the young man next to him, looking very afraid that the other party would misunderstand something.
Father Shao glanced at Qian Xing, who spread his hands and mouthed: I can’t talk nonsense about my cousin’s affairs.
Father Shao had no choice. Although he was the elder, he would not use the age difference to pressure others. He just needs to find time to have a good chat with Shao Lingheng.
While Father and Mother Shao were thinking about how to find out the situation in a roundabout way, Shao Lingheng had already made up his mind.
He saw things very simply. Since he felt that his relationship with Du Yan had been confirmed and his parents are open-minded, there is no need to hide anything.
For such an important matter, letting family members know first is the greatest respect for them.
Shao Lingheng has always been very decisive. In his opinion, he will take Du Yan home sooner or later. Since his parents happened to come today, he will take this opportunity to confess.
Shao Lingheng glanced at Du Yan. Du Yan knew what he meant from his questioning eyes without any words.
Du Yan knew that he had explained the matter of Dr. Zhao to himself in front of his parents, which was also a signal to let his parents be mentally prepared.
Since Shao Lingheng decided to confess to his family, it means that he has considered his family’s acceptance of this matter.
Du Yan didn’t have parents, so he didn’t have to consider too many complicated things, so he just nodded in agreement.
Then, the two of them stood up and walked to the living room, sitting directly opposite Father and Mother Shao.
Shao Lingheng always speaks directly. After he sat down, he got straight to the point and said: “Ba, Ma, this is the person who will accompany me for the rest of my life.”
Father and Mother Shao were slightly stunned, and then their expressions became a little unnatural. They were not prejudiced against the other party because he was a man. Instead, they were worried about Shao Lingheng’s situation and the secret they had kept hidden for a long time.
The difference between Shao Lingheng and ordinary people will eventually become a time bomb between him and his partner.
But they also know their child’s personality, and it is difficult to change the decision he made.
Moreover, for Shao Lingheng, who has almost no normal emotions since childhood, if he really falls in love with someone, and if they can not be together in the future, he may never fall in love with anyone else.
Seeing this, Du Yan guessed what Shao Lingheng’s parents were concerned about. He said directly: “I know everything about him, including the parts of him that are different from ordinary people. In fact, I have similar conditions to him.”
Qian Xing didn’t know about those things, it was a secret among the elders of the Shao family, but Qian Xing had been Shao Lingheng’s assistant for so many years, so there was no need for him to avoid him.
Shao Lingheng said: “I remembered a lot of things, including nightmares and bloodlines.”
Father Shao’s expression became serious, and he asked: “How did you come to remember this?”
Shao Lingheng glanced at Du Yan, with some tenderness in his eyes: “It is my luck to meet Du Yan.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Du Yan.
Du Yan felt that it was too much for him to explain all these things by himself. He thought for a moment and asked: “Do you two have any psychological problems or high blood pressure?”
Father Shao guessed why Du Yan asked this question, and said directly: “Don’t worry, although we have only experienced those strange things that happened to Xiao Heng, we also know a thing or two about some areas beyond common sense.”
Du Yan smiled and said: “Then these things can be explained in a more direct way.”
Then he whispered to the air: “Xiao Ba, come out.”
As soon as the words fell, everyone saw a furry unknown creature appear out of thin air in front of them. It looked like an enlarged version of a dandelion.
There were two soybean-sized eyes blinking in the white fur of the unknown creature, indicating that it was a living creature.
Du Yan looked at Shao Lingheng: “I was looking for an opportunity to introduce Xiao Ba to you, and today is a coincidence.”
“Xiao Ba is my assistant. I need his help to eat nightmares.”
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, still not recovering from the shock of seeing an unusual creature for the first time.
Xiao Ba turned in the air and introduced himself: “Hello everyone, I am Ba Shijiu, one of the incarnations of the great demon Dandelion. The responsibility of our clan is to assist the bloodlines of the mythical beasts and other races beasts left in various dimensions, to help them understand the information related to the mythical beasts and other races beasts, and to survive successfully.”
Hearing this, Mother Shao thought of the bloodline from her mother’s family and asked: “Does our bloodline also belong to this category? Why didn’t your family show up?”
As a mother, she couldn’t help but imagine that if her child had such an assistant when awakening his bloodline, perhaps Shao Lingheng wouldn’t have to go through so much pain.
Xiao Ba explained: “Shao Lingheng’s bloodline is not the same as ours. The deities of their faction don’t care much about the affairs of future generations. Of course, after the marriage, I will apply to the higher authorities to provide assistance for those of you who have activated your bloodline…”
Du Yan saw that the conversation was endless and could not be concluded even if it lasted for three days and three nights. He thought that Shao Lingheng still had work to do today, so he said: “Xiao Ba, I remember that you can transmit relevant data to the human brain. Sorry for the trouble.”
After Xiao Ba communicated with Du Yan, he selected information related to the Nightmare beast and the Mythical beast Birch, as well as some publicly available information about Du Yan’s nightmare-eating ability, and transmitted it to the minds of several people present.
Before Du Yan informed the people present about these things, he had fully considered various possible situations.
Qian Xing is the child of Shao Lingheng’s Jiujiu. Perhaps one day, the relevant bloodline will be activated in him or his descendants. Naturally, he will not have any other opinions about Shao Lingheng because of the bloodline of the exotic beast.
As for Father and Mother Shao, judging by their concerns about their child and what happened before, they have nothing to worry about.
***
When Father and Mother Shao went out, their steps were a little unsteady.
They looked at each other. Before they came, they were still worried about whether their son would not be able to live smoothly due to psychological problems. They knew that Shao Lingheng had been haunted by nightmares for years.
After knowing this, they quickly thought of Shao Lingheng’s bloodline problem.
After the first two bloodline activations, Shao Lingheng’s bloodline was activated again, and now the nightmare is limited to himself, which makes Father and Mother Shao dare not use the secret medicine for granted, fearing that there will be some adverse consequences.
So they could only adopt a gentle treatment method and found the most famous psychiatrist in the country for Shao Lingheng.
However, Shao Lingheng was a bit of a loner by nature, and even his family members didn’t know what he was thinking. Psychological treatment had not made much progress, and Shao Lingheng’s condition had only gotten worse.
Father and Mother Shao suddenly came to visit because they had seen the press conference the day before. Although they were not in the entertainment industry, they were very concerned about Shao Lingheng.
When they heard that Shao Lingheng had a lover, their first thought was whether Shao Lingheng had a mental problem due to nightmares and thus fabricated a lover.
After all, they knew Shao Lingheng’s problem. He couldn’t feel too many emotions, even though he could bring some of them into his acting and could understand the feelings between his family members a little.
They don’t dare to expect that he can feel intense love or even fall in love with someone in real life and be willing to be with that person for the rest of his life.
Everything that happened just now was completely beyond the imagination of Father and Mother Shao. It was as if heaven suddenly paid attention to this forgotten bloodline and arranged a destined partner for him.
The nightmare beast and the nightmare-eating Birch are so compatible and seem like a match made in heaven.
Previously, the attitude expressed by Shao Lingheng at the promotion conference caused an uproar, but apart from a very small number of people who blindly criticized him, most of the public feedback was positive.
Shao Lingheng’s fans expressed their understanding and blessings for their idol. After all, Shao Lingheng is already 30 years old and has never been in a relationship or involved in a scandal in these years.
Most of Shao Lingheng’s die-hard fans have been with him all along and are now adults in society. In addition, he has always been a powerful figure, so few of his fans are attracted simply because of his face.
Nowadays, fans are becoming more rational, knowing that celebrities are ordinary people, and getting married and having children is a part of their lives.
Even when Shao Lingheng hinted that he already had a crush on someone and was pursuing the person, fans did not react too radically.
There are even big V fans who have opened a super topic on Weibo, in which they are all betting on how long it will take for Shao Lingheng to pursue his sweetheart based on his daily performance.
Apart from his image on screen, all die-hard fans of Shao Lingheng know that he is a taciturn person with a low EQ. Everyone predicts that a three-year start and a five-year run are normal, and an eight-year tug war is not impossible.
Unexpectedly, just seven days later, Shao Lingheng posted a new update on Weibo.
“Thank you for your blessings. It doesn’t need to be three years.”
There is a picture attached, which is a marriage certificate.
Perhaps out of consideration for protecting the partner outside the circle, the photo on the certificate was censored. The certificate was obtained today, and except for Shao Lingheng’s name, the other person’s name was also censored.
The most crucial point is that the other person is also male.
Du Yan had just walked out of the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau when he saw this Weibo post.
Shao Lingheng just insisted on taking a silly-looking photo of himself holding up his marriage certificate at the photo booth of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Du Yan, as an assistant, didn’t want him to do this. But Shao Lingheng didn’t say a word or move, looking at the example hanging on the side with an extremely eager look.
Finally, Du Yan softened and agreed to take a few photos with him.
After the photo shoot, Shao Lingheng asked Du Yan to pick up the car while he stayed there waiting to pick up the photos.
So, that person nominally went to wait for the photo but actually posted a Weibo post.
Du Yan turned off his phone, feeling somewhat helpless.
“Du Yan.”
Du Yan turned around and watched the man walk down the stairs.
Although he wore sunglasses and pretended to avoid trouble, Du Yan could feel that Shao Lingheng’s eyes were always on him.
Du Yan saw Shao Lingheng stop in front of him. He raised his hand and shook his phone, raised his eyebrows, and said: “Post on Weibo?”
Shao Lingheng looked at Du Yan for a long time and said: “I am the first one to get a marriage certificate with you in China, so of course I have to post a Weibo to commemorate it.”
After hearing this, Du Yan couldn’t help but say: “I actually sometimes really doubt that your bloodline is not the nightmare beast, but the reincarnation of the vinegar spirit.”
Shao Lingheng walked over, put his hand on Du Yan’s shoulder, and whispered: “If I am the reincarnation of a vinegar spirit, then don’t you like to eat vinegar?”
Du Yan was stunned, knowing that Shao Lingheng was referring to what he had said before, you are my dish, the most perfect one.”
“Go home and have dinner.”
The two walked together towards the parking lot. It was already evening, and the setting sun turned the clouds in the sky into a colorful oil painting.
The shadows of Du Yan and Shao Lingheng were stretched longer and longer and finally intertwined together, as if the two would never be separated for the rest of their lives.
