Chapter 1147: Warmth and gloom
Ying Nan nodded. In fact, he did not mind Yu Dong leaving him alone, he was used to fending after himself ever since his father died. His mother was a coward who did not have a mind of her own and listened to his step father who rose to the position of official husband after the death of his father.
His step father was someone who only cared about his daughters, in his eyes a mer was a useless existence. Sooner or later he would get married and thus in the eyes of Old Master Ying, wasting any resources on him was useless.
Something that Ying Nan found really funny as he was the one who brought the delicious meals and the games that Song Yixu sent to the house because of him. If anything he was the one raising their family rather than those useless beings!
” I know you need a Saozi noodle bowl,” Chen Mi said as he worked in the kitchen. He was preparing the meat sauce in the wok while speaking to Ying Nan who got curious when he saw a dish about which he had no idea.
” You are cooking?” Ying Nan saw a bunch of mers cooking in the common house when he was sneaking inside the village from the back of the mountains. So why was this mer cooking here?
In his village, if something like this happened, then his father wouldn’t even start the fire in their house even if their house was fine his step father would refuse to cook and go to eat where everyone else was cooking. It was weird seeing someone cook when there was a mass banquet going out. Explore new worlds at mvl
Though it could not be called a banquet but still.
Chen Mi blushed slightly as he stirred the meat in the wok before starting on the omelettes.
” I wanted to eat something spicy——”
” And something that contains meat,” Ye Liu finished for him as he finished cleaning Yu Jin’s diaper. He straightened up from the table and then looked at Chen Mi whose blush got even more thick. ” You know one of these days you will get our family to fall into trouble.”
” Oh shush,” Chen Mi spit three times by moving his head to the side. He then said, “It’s not that I am greedy for meat, it’s just that Little Jin has gotten more and more active these days. I want to keep up my energy levels to chase after him.”
Yu Jin who was blamed for nothing made an angry sound. When was he active? He had been eating and sleeping all day. Why did he not know that he was keeping his father on his toes?
” See that even your son refuses to agree with you,” Ye Liu hugged Yu Jin while rubbing his cheek against Yu Jin. The two of them glared at Chen Mi with the same expression.
” Why does he look more similar to you than me?”
” Maybe because he stays more with me when compared to you.”
Ying Nan who had never seen such a raucous house was stumped when he saw that the mers in the house did not have any restraints and could talk and act how they liked. In his house, his stepfather would get angry at him even if he was to raise his voice much less make a racket like this.
He shot a worried look at Yu Dong but he did not see her getting bothered instead she was calmly talking with the mer who was pregnant/.
“Feels weird right?” While Ying Nan was watching Yu Dong and Shen Li, a voice called him from behind. He turned around and found himself looking at a tall mer who looked like a man if not for the fact that he had a cinnabar on his forehead.
” Yeah, it does. I never thought mers could be this outspoken,” Ying Nan softly replied, he really did not think that mers could be this carefree. His stepfather would scold him for the smallest thing possible thus it was quite surprising that a household had such a warm atmosphere instead of being cold and biting.
‘ I wish to stay here’ Ying Nan thought in his head, he did not want to go back home given that he would have to face the cold faces of those people who did not like him again.
” I was surprised as well the first time,” Fang Chi said to Ying Nan with a smile as he handed him a cup of chilled water. ” But the place where your loved one’s lives should not be filled with restrictions.”
‘ Really?’ Ying Nan questioned in his head as he looked at Fang Chi but before he could say anything further, they were asked by Chen Mi to sit down as they were about to start dinner.
On the other hand at the Big Mountain Village.
” What do you mean that he is missing?” Da Qiao asked Old Master Ying with a shocked look on her face. She really could not believe that Old Master Ying and the rest of their family did not even come to look for Ying Nan for an entire day.
Old Master Ying who knew that he was being looked down at pursed his lips and then snarled, ” What do you think it means village head? Ying Nan left home last night and did not come back home, you need to look for him as soon as possible!”
If Ying Nan did not return then Song Yixu would marry that mer. If that happened then what would happen to their family?
Da Qiao looked at the old mer with an annoyed expression. Did he think that she was deliberately asking such questions? She needed to know what happened!
After all, how could a family not sense the disappearance of a family member for an entire night? What was Old Master Ying thinking?
