“Sure, I’ll give it to you tomorrow but most of my seed is medical plant seed, do you still want it?” (HA)

After all, the only reason he collected the seed was so he could trade it for herbs or medicine with Granny Shen.

“Mine is the same.” (HZ)

“Me too.” (TY)

“Same.” (WJ)

While they also collect some random seeds along the way, who knows what would grow from them. But Yan Xiu didn’t mind, he just wanted to plant something. He wasn't used to seeing his garden barren like it was now. As for what he would do with the plant, he would use it if he had the use for it. If not, then he could sell it to Granny Shen.

“Yan Xiu thanks the seniors. I only wanted to plant something in my garden, I’m not picky about the plant.” (YX)

“Haha, don’t be so polite. Relax, it is just some seeds, nothing precious.” (HA)

Han Ao waved his hand.

“That’s right. But if you can give me more of that ice stick or something even tastier, I’ll even search for more seeds for you when we go out next time!” (HZ)

Han Zili drew near to Yan Xiu and smiled with eyes glowing with desire.

“That’s enough from you.” (HA)

Said Han Ao as he knocked his sister’s head. Han Zili held her head and glared at Han Ao with grievance. Tian Yu and Wu Jier laughed a little, used to the siblings' behavior.

“We’ll excuse ourselves first, we need to greet other people. Little Xiu, I’ll give you the seeds tomorrow. Good night.” (HA)

Han Ao waved his hand and turned around. Han Zili could only begrudgingly follow behind Han Ao.

“Bye-bye, Little Xiu. Good night!” (HZ)

Han Zili waved her hand as she left, Tian Yu and Wu Jier also said goodbye and left.

“Bye-bye, seniors.” (YX)

“Uhouho. (Bye-bye.)” (BY)

Now that he was alone, Yan Xiu could only wander around. The sight of a boy riding a big white ape stood out among the villagers. After all, he was now a little famous because of Bai Yuan, the villagers greeted him. Yan Xiu saw Granny Shen but she focused on the moss from the Terkek, Yan Xiu didn’t bother her. Yan Xiu and Bai Yuan went around and ate some dishes before Yan Xiu spotted the Lus. The family of three, no it should be a family of four soon, were sitting on a bench. Lu Rianli was spoon-feeding Xiao ShanShan some vegetarian food with Lu Hao gorging on meat dishes sitting on the far end of the bench.

“Why are you sitting so far?” (YX)

Asked Yan Xiu curiously.

“I just don’t want to see my parents flirting, I feel full just seeing them.” (LH)

Ever since his mother got pregnant, his father became even more overprotective. He never let her do anything, it was either him or his father doing the chores now. And not to mention, his father always took the chance to flirt with his mother just like now. It was awkward for him, alright?

"Hmph! What do single dogs like you know about this kind of pleasure? You're just sour." (LR)

Lu Rianli looked disdainful at his son while Xiao ShanShan blushed.

"Old man, who's your calling sour? Am I just feeling awkward looking at my parents flirting in front of me, alright?" (LH)

"Heh, sure." (LR)

Lu Rianli sneered at Lu Hao's word. The stumped and angry Lu Hao could only direct his fury to the food as he ate. Yan Xiu laughed and then bowed at Lu Rianli and Xiao ShanShan.

"Congratulations to uncle and aunt and may your second child grow and be born safely." (YX)

"Hahaha, Thank You, Little Xiu!" (LR)

"Thank you, Little Xiu. You have to treat her well when she is born, okay?" (XSS)

Lu Rianli laughed and Xiao ShanShan was rubbing her still flat belly.

"Of course, aunty." (YX)

Then he looked curiously at Xiao ShanShan's belly. He couldn't imagine that life was growing inside Xiao ShanShan.

"Aunty, can I touch your stomach?" (YX)

"Of course, but you won't feel anything yet." (XSS)

Xiao ShanShan smiled as she looked at the curious Yan Xiu. His hand gingerly touched Xiao ShanShan's stomach. He didn't feel anything, no kick or anything, but it was a novel experience for him. He retracted his hand and looked at Xiao ShanShan gazing at her stomach with love and rubbing it gently.

He wondered if his mother also did the same for him. His nose felt sour. Noticing Yan Xiu's sudden drop in mood, Xiao ShanShan patted his head and smiled gently.

"Little Xiu, it'll be fine. I'm sure your parents are okay. They are probably handling some business, they'll be back when they are done." (XSS)

Lu Rianli also noticed it and patted Yan Xiu's shoulder.

"Yes, your parents are smart and strong, they will be fine, Little Xiu!" (LR)

"Yeah, uncle Yan and aunty Yan will be fine!" (LH)

Lu Hao chimed in. Yan Xiu felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you, Lu Hao, aunty, uncle, I'll excuse myself first. It's getting late, good night!" (YX)

"Good night! Go home safely!" (LR)

"Good night, Little Xiu." (XSS)

"Bye-bye, Little Xiu!" (LH)

"Bye, Lu Hao!" (YX)

Yan Xiu waved his hand and left, not long after, he looked back at the Lus. Stars adorned the dark sky and cold wind was blowing, Yan Xiu thought about the disciple recruitment event in less than two months away. He was reminded of his parents, his will and determination to find his missing parents grew stronger.

"Bai Yuan." (YX)

"Uho? (What is it, master?)" (BY)

"You'll help me in my search for my missing parent, won't you?" (YX)

"Uho uhouho! (Of course, master!)" (BY)

Yan Xiu smiled.

"I'll be counting on you!" (YX)

"Uhoho! (Leave it to me!)" (BY)
