Trill of birds can be heard faintly from inside this rooms and an orange streak of sunlight already peeping through the curtain — the evening already come.

“Well, that’s a nice chat. I’ll go home first then,” I say to Dana who still read a book while sitting on a sofa.

“Be careful,” he says, still reading the book.

I step outside and release myself from the stuffy smell of medicine earlier and take a deep breath of nature smell. This is a good day, my research finally bore fruits, and I’m now in the eleventh level of Qi condensation.

I want to stroll around the market, but when I’m passing the food stall, Rin comes out from there, she rushes and hugs me immediately.

“Brother, ehehe~.”

“Eh, Rin, why are you here?” I say while still hugging her.

“Big sis want to eat outside today. So, we go to uncle stall to eat his soup.”

After hearing her words, I look behind her and notice Yan just come out from uncle stall too, she’s bringing many things what seems gifts from people in the city.

“Why you didn’t bring me together Rin, now I’m sad,” I say jokingly.

“Wawa~, sorry, we think you still working,” Rin says hurriedly.

Looking at her flustered expression, I chuckle for a moment and say, “It’s okay, I'm just teasing you.”

“Uuu, brother,” she says with a soft voice, but I can still hear her.

"I want to take a stroll first before go home, want to come with me?” I ask both of them.

“Okay~,” both of them says in sync.

We take a stroll for about half an hour to find something to buy.

Yan and Rin just window shopping, it seems they already bought what they want earlier. I, on the other hand, observing Yan reaction to see what she want and then buy what I think good for her — a bracelet, it a simple knitted rope with a colorful color, but it has some enhancement to protect the wearer.

After a while the sun is nearly set in the horizon, so we immediately run through the usual forest, rushing towards home — I carry Rin piggyback and Yan run right behind me.

Just in time when the sunset, we made it into our home. There no obstruction in our way, but running in the dark still scary for Rin.

“It’s okay you can open your eyes now Rin.”

Rin is opening her eyes and get down from my piggyback. She immediately goes to the bathroom and takes a shower, today is very hot and it's normal for her to feel sweaty all over their body — Of course, Yan won’t miss this chance and immediately rushing towards bathroom too.

Well, now I’m alone and lonely here.

I look at the gift from people in the marketplace, most of them are vegetables and meat, "They quite generous to give us this much," I say with a chuckle.

I start chopping the vegetables, prepare to make a curry.

…

My hair still wet from the bath that I took after they get out of the bathroom. We sit together at the dining table, they waiting for me after preparing all the cutlery.

We eat in silence, permeating the curry inside our mouth — a sign of respect for the cook and grateful for what we eat.

“Thank you for the meal,” we say together after finished eating.

“Even if this can’t be compared with uncle's dish, this is so good~,” Rin praises resonate in this dining room.

“You don’t have to say that. Of course, he’s better than me at cooking,” I say teasingly.

Rin flustered face while trying to appease me is quite a cute sight and make me chuckle for a while. Therefore, I like doing this to her once a while.

After calming Rin and put her in my lap, we’re chattering for more than one hours — most of them about unimportant things, but that unimportant thing is the sign that my life is peaceful as it is.

I won’t complain, but I won’t complacent either.

This is the life I want — Whatever happens, I must do what I can to protect it.

“Oh yeah, I forgot about that,” I say in the middle of our chattering, I walk towards Yan and lead her hands towards me. I try to tie the bracelet which I bought earlier to her arm.

It’s quite hard to tie it apparently, but after I do it carefully as the seller said — I can make a nice knot.

“Congratulations on your breakthrough to the tenth level, how about it, is this bracelet is colorful,” I say after finished to bind it.

Yan's face has a tinge red while looking at the bracelet, her reddish face is probably from the room illumination.

“Eh, oh, ye-yeah, it’s quite nice,” with a stutter she says to me.

What an adorable reaction.

“Thank you.” She says, after regaining her calmness.

With a smile, I say, “Your welcome, don’t lose it you know.”

“Oka~y, oh I forgot to give you something too,” she grabs my hand and then let out the same bracelet from her pocket, after tied it together she says, “Congratulation for your breakthrough to the eleventh level, don’t lose it you know.”

She let out a dazzling smile with red shade from room illumination in her cheeks, “Now we look like a stupid couple.”
