In the end, Liu Chuan cooked two more servings of dumplings. Actually, he was not full either.

Ever since he started cultivating, his appetite had increased tremendously. Thus, Shi Yanya ate most of the frozen dumplings while Liu Chuan only ate less than half of them.

It wasn’t that Liu Chuan didn’t want to eat his fill. It was just that he really didn’t have any food at home. He could only go out to eat more when the time came.

Then, he watched as Shi Yanya slumped on the sofa without a care for her image after eating. She did not seem to have any intention of leaving.

Liu Chuan felt that he had to go up and hint to Shi Yanya that it was time for her to leave. After all, it wouldn’t be good if a man and a woman stayed in the same room.

“Um… Shi Yanya? Where is your house? Shall I send you back?” Liu Chuan walked to Shi Yanya and asked casually.

“I don’t have a home.” Shi Yanya looked at Liu Chuan with her big, bright eyes.

“Don’t tell me you ran away from home.”

Liu Chuan expressed his strong suspicion.

“I really don’t have a home.”

“Where are your parents?”

“I don’t have a home.”

…

Liu Chuan felt a little tired. It was obvious that she was going to stay here.

“Could it be that I have to start living happily together with a beautiful woman? No, no, no. I still have to cultivate and take the martial arts examination. I don’t have the time to take care of others.” Liu Chuan struggled internally. Although having a beautiful woman by his side made him feel comfortable, it was definitely impossible for him to do so while remaining unrelated to her.

Hence, Liu Chuan probed, “Are you broke? Do you want me to give you some money?”

“I have money.” While speaking, Shi Yanya took out 100,000 Federal coins from her bag.

Liu Chuan was speechless.

Sorry to interrupt you.

It turned out that Shi Yanya was a rich lady. He only had around 10,000 Federal coins on him. To be honest, he had never seen so much money before.

“You can have it. I still have some money in my bank card.” Seeing Liu Chuan staring at the money blankly, Shi Yanya thought that it was too little. Therefore, she spoke again and even handed the money to him.

Then, Shi Yanya giggled and said, “Just treat this money as my rent. Since you saved me, you have to bear the responsibility.”

Liu Chuan looked at the 100,000 Federal coins in his hand and fell into deep thought…

“Could it be that some rich lady came out to experience life?” Liu Chuan thought to himself.

In the end, Liu Chuan did not accept the huge sum of money. However, Shi Yanya did not leave either. She stayed here for no reason.

There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn’t very well refuse a beautiful woman’s request.

After that, Liu Chuan spent a few hours tidying up an empty room. He let Shi Yanya stay in it first. As for the rest of the toiletries and necessities, he had them at home.

However, he still had to cultivate. After cleaning up Shi Yanya’s room, he went back to his room to cultivate.

There was still less than a month before the martial arts examination. He had to seize the time to cultivate.

After Liu Chuan returned to his room, Shi Yanyan took the spare key given by Liu Chuan and left.

It was not that Liu Chuan trusted Shi Yanya too much. It was just that he really did not have anything valuable at home.

The thought of it was quite painful.

After all, Shi Yanya had casually taken out 100,000 Federal coins. Would Liu Chuan be afraid of losing something at home?

For the entire afternoon, Liu Chuan stayed in his room to cultivate. Right now, he was already tempering his skull. Liu Chuan could be said to be exceptionally careful at this moment.

He carefully controlled the speed and position of his vitality as it moved, afraid that it would leak out or go berserk.

If he accidentally damaged a few nerves in his brain, he might become an idiot.

In the past, he could finish tempering his body once every hour. Now, it took him two hours. After spending an entire afternoon, his body tempering progress reached 85%.

Liu Chuan had a premonition that when his body tempering progress reached 100%, his body would experience a qualitative change.

After completing his cultivation, Liu Chuan finally remembered that there was someone else at home. He opened the door and saw Shi Yanya sitting on the sofa while watching television.

However, Shi Yanya had already changed into a new set of clothes. She changed from a dress to a pair of denim shorts and a white T-shirt. Her long and fair legs were exposed in front of Liu Chuan.

Liu Chuan took a glance and quickly retracted his gaze. He said to himself, “Nice legs.”

Meanwhile, the coffee table was filled with fruits. Then, he went into the kitchen and saw that the fridge was also filled with dishes.

“Have you been out shopping?” Liu Chuan asked.

Shi Yanya replied while watching the television, “Yes, we don’t have any vegetables at home, so I went to buy some.”

Yes, Shi Yanya was speaking as if this was their house.

Liu Chuan took a closer look at the house and found traces of cleaning. The floor had become as bright as new, and the windows that had not been cleaned for a long time had become spotless. Even the blind spots had been cleaned.

As he looked at the house that had become clean and tidy, he recalled that he had previously been thinking about how to get Shi Yanya to leave earlier. Now, he suddenly felt that it wasn’t a bad idea to live with someone else.

“You must be hungry. I’ll go and cook.” Liu Chuan smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He suddenly felt that this was how a family should be. His life had been too lonely.

After all, he had been brought up by his unreliable father, and he had never met his mother.

He had once asked his father where his mother had gone, and why everyone else had a mother but not him.

The reply that Liu Chuan got was that his mother had left.

Therefore, Little Liu Chuan waited and waited. He waited until he was sensible enough to know that his mother might never return.

After he went to junior high school and stayed on campus, his father went home less frequently. As a result, Liu Chuan basically lived alone.

When other people went home, their parents would prepare a sumptuous meal for them. Meanwhile, when he went home, there was only a dark room.

It turned out that a house was only a home when there were companions present. When one was alone, it was just a place to stay.

…

…

Liu Chuan was very happy and made a table full of dishes such as braised pork, boiled fish, cooked fish, and so on.

During this meal, Shi Yanya straightforwardly told Liu Chuan that the food was delicious and the taste was comparable to that of the restaurants outside.

The two of them enjoyed the meal.

Liu Chuan felt that the dishwasher his unreliable father had installed was quite reliable. It saved him the trouble of washing the dishes. He just had to stuff all the dishes in.

Looking at Shi Yanya, who was watching television, Liu Chuan decided to ask her why she insisted on staying here.

Liu Chuan thought that besides his handsome face, he had no other merits.

Looking at the conflicted look on Liu Chuan’s face, Shi Yanyan didn’t know how to answer him. Thus, she said with a smile, “Do you want to ask why I have to stay here?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Chuan instantly nodded.

“It’s because you smell so good. You have a special smell on you. No one else smells as good as you. My nose is very sensitive.” Shi Yanya pointed at her own nose and explained.

“My smell?” Liu Chuan quickly raised his hand to smell himself, but he didn’t smell anything.

“Am I full of masculinity?”

Liu Chuan had become more and more narcissistic recently.

…

“Do you want to watch television together?” Shi Yanya asked.

“No, I still have to cultivate tonight.” Liu Chuan shook his head and refused. He wasn’t interested in television dramas and didn’t know what was so interesting about them. However, Shi Yanya could sit and watch them for an entire day.

“Oh.”

When Shi Yanya saw that Liu Chuan had rejected her, she turned her head around and started to watch television by herself.

Liu Chuan returned to his room to practice his swordsmanship. However, after spending an entire night, he only managed to learn 1,000 of the 3,000 sword techniques with the help of the system.

He still had 2,000 sword techniques to learn. Would he have to take 10 years to learn all of them?

With so many sword techniques, even Liu Chuan felt his scalp tingle.

…

Liu Chuan did not have the habit of looking at his phone. He usually set it to silent mode.

After he came back, he put his phone aside, so he naturally didn’t know that the notifications on his phone were about to explode..
