"Why are you all staring at like that? I know my skin has gotten a bit whiter, but there's nothing I can do about it," Ge Dongxu said as he noticed the three of them staring, scratching his head in embarrassnt.
"It's not that, but there is a scent of spring about you now, which makes people feel like they're basking in the spring breeze, a sense of closeness. I suspect, little brother, if you go to school like this now, for sure you will attract many junior and senior school girls," Yang Yinhou said with a smile, even wearing a schadenfreude expression when he got to the last sentence.
"Attracting bees and butterflies!" Ge Dongxu couldn't help but feel a start in his heart as he saw the schadenfreude smile on Yang Yinhou's face, and the words popped up in his mind unconsciously.
"Haha, isn't spring the season for attracting bees and butterflies?" Upon hearing this, Yang Yinhou laughed heartily, his face filled with an even stronger schadenfreude expression.
And the expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Ge Shengming were quite sothing.
Logically speaking, parents should be proud and happy if their son is popular with girls, but the problem is, if it really reaches the level of "attracting bees and butterflies", they would not be so happy about it.
"I'm dood!" Ge Dongxu howled in distress, saying, "No, I must seclude myself for the next couple of days and must tone down this charisma."
"No way. Tomorrow is the third day of the New Year, and you have to go with us to your grandfather's house to pay a New Year's visit, that's the old custom," Xu Suya said.
"Mom, but with the way I am now, it's inconvenient, isn't it?" Ge Dongxu said with a wry smile.
"What's inconvenient about it? It's all family, you can't possibly hook up with your own cousin, can you!" Xu Suya said.
"Haha! Little brother, your senior brother's cultivation is limited, I can't help you with this. Since you're alright, I'll be taking my leave first," Yang Yinhou said with a laugh and waved goodbye as he left the Ge Family ho.
Watching Yang Yinhou laugh and take his leave, Ge Dongxu clenched his teeth in 'hatred' and then turned to look at his mother, resigning himself to say, "Alright then, if it's paying a New Year's visit tomorrow, so be it. I need to go ditate in my room now. Don't disturb , and call tomorrow morning."
"Ah, you're going to ditate again?" Xu Suya exclaid in surprise upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, Mom. I just want to try changing my aura a bit," Ge Dongxu said with a wry smile.
"What did you say, am I very old?" Xu Suya finally relaxed but imdiately frowned disapprovingly.
"Not old, of course not old, my mom is the youngest and most beautiful in the world," Ge Dongxu quickly corrected himself upon seeing her reaction.
"That's more like it," Xu Suya finally turned from anger to joy and said, "You haven't eaten for the past two days, don't you need to eat sothing before you ditate in your room?"
"Mom, I'm not hungry at all right now; you guys just prepare your own al, don't worry about ," Ge Dongxu said.
Knowing that their son was now almost like an immortal, Xu Suya and Ge Shengming took his word for it and let it be.
Ge Dongxu returned to his bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and pondered how to suppress the scent of spring that was constantly emanating from him.
The next morning, Ge Dongxu ca out of his room.
"Huh!" Xu Suya, who was preparing breakfast, saw Ge Dongxu co out and her face showed a hint of surprise.
"How is it, Mom?" Ge Dongxu asked.
"Well, it's a bit different from yesterday. But actually, Mom still likes you the way you were yesterday, you were so charming," Xu Suya said.
"It's better to keep it plain," Ge Dongxu felt a shiver in his heart at her words and quickly said.
He already owed enough emotional debt and didn't want to attract any more bees and butterflies.
Even for this, he had to re-tap into his sealed power last night.
However, since the essence of spring arises naturally, he had to constantly comprehend this spring vitality and thus find a balance between sealing and rejuvenating.
After a night, he finally managed to find a balance.
Now, he no longer appeared to be "brimming with the essence of spring," but had an added touch of restraint and steadiness that ca with weathering life's storms.
Xu Suya just smiled and said no more.
The family of three had breakfast and then got ready to visit the grandparents' house to celebrate the New Year.
The three of them left the house.
"What about these trees? If others see them, they'll surely start asking all kinds of questions!" Standing in the yard, Ge Shengming gestured to the blooming peach and plum trees, looking sowhat troubled.
"Just say you don't know. It's not uncommon for so trees to bloom out of season," Ge Dongxu said.
"Dongxu is right, they didn't see the peach and plum trees bud and bloom within two days, so it's easily explainable. Besides, didn't we agree to go on a trip this January? We'll just lock the yard door when we leave—who knows, maybe the weather will warm up in a few days, and the early blooming won't seem so strange," Xu Suya said.
"You're planning a trip for the New Year? How co I didn't know about this?" Ge Dongxu asked, quite surprised.
"It's sothing your father and I discussed in the last couple of days, we haven't had the chance to tell you yet," Xu Suya replied.
"Traveling sounds great, especially since it's the New Year and the middle of winter. Dad's farm stay business won't be bustling, and mom, you're on winter break. It's the perfect opportunity for us to go out and enjoy the beautiful mountains and waters," Ge Dongxu nodded and smiled.
"Hehe, the main reason is that we have a capable son. Your dad and I don't have to worry about money anymore. Otherwise, even with all the holidays, traveling wouldn't have been an option," Xu Suya said.
"Yes, luckily we have you as our son. Without you, your mom would have suffered following ," Ge Shengming said with emotion.
"Dad, don't say that. Having as your son, isn't that a testant to your abilities?" Ge Dongxu hugged his father's shoulder and laughed.
"Haha, that's also true," Ge Shengming laughed.
"Giggles, you two really have thick skins!" Xu Suya couldn't help but laugh cheerfully.
"Do we?" Ge Shengming and Ge Dongxu asked in return.
"Haha!" Xu Suya laughed out loud.
"Oh, by the way, mom and dad, where do you plan to travel? It's quite cold here right now. I think you could go to Hainan, where the weather is nice, or I could accompany you abroad, Thailand or Indonesia are both good choices, having the best weather right now, or even Australia, since it's sumr there," Ge Dongxu asked.
"We don't need you to accompany us, your mom and I want so ti alone together," Ge Shengming said.
"Oh-ho, ti alone together? That must be mom's idea, right? You can't be the one with such romantic thoughts," Ge Dongxu shrieked, wrapping his arm around Ge Shengming's shoulder and asking.
"What? You looking down on your dad? I may not be educated, but now I'm a boss too, and I even have a private car. As my lifestyle has improved, naturally, so has my way of thinking," Ge Shengming said, pointing at the Wuling minitruck parked at the entrance with pride.
