Chapter 116: Reunion and Longing

Ever since the Yue sisters left, their contact with Li Nianlong had gradually decreased, with their last conversation dating back to half a month ago. However, the accumulation of time gave them plenty to talk about, making Yuexi particularly excited.

After chatting for a while, Li Nianlong asked, "Yuexi, what's your address in Longcheng?"

"Longcheng, Yuanhuan Road, Mingyang Community, Building A, Unit 2, Apartment 801..." Yuexi suddenly paused, "Big Brother, why are you asking for my address? Are you coming over?"

Li Nianlong chuckled, "That's the plan."

"You're in Longcheng!?" Yuexi's voice shot up, filled with infinite joy.

"What do you think?" Li Nianlong smiled, "Wait for me. I'll be there soon."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Yuexi jumped off the bed excitedly and patted Yuechang's butt, "Changchang, wake up! Big Brother is coming."

"Ugh... so sleepy!" Yuechang mumbled, then suddenly sat up, "Big Brother is coming?"

"Yes! Big Brother is in Longcheng and will be here soon. Get up and tidy up. I'll make breakfast." Yuexi put on her slippers and dashed into the kitchen, while Yuechang, still a bit groggy, started cleaning and tidying up the house.

Though more than a month had passed, Yuechang hadn't fully recovered yet. After a month of sleep, she was still prone to bouts of drowsiness but no longer slept continuously.

Today was Sunday, and the Yue sisters didn't have school. Li Nianlong had called, knowing they would be home. Had it been a weekday, he wouldn't have made the call.

Half an hour later, Li Nianlong arrived at Mingyang Community, found Building A, Unit 2, and took the elevator straight to the 8th floor, apartment 801.

Ding dong—

Standing in front of the door, Li Nianlong rang the doorbell. The peephole blinked, and the door opened with a familiar figure standing there. She wore a red dress, black stockings, and pink cartoon slippers, both alluring and cute.

"Big Brother!" Yuexi threw herself into Li Nianlong's arms, hugging him tightly, "I missed you so much."

Her body was soft and fragrant like milk. Li Nianlong held her by the hips, stroking her hair with a smile, "I missed you too. That's why I came to see you."

"Mm." Yuexi, enjoying his touch, felt as comfortable as a kitten, hugging him tightly, not wanting to let go.

"Yuexi, get down! It's not proper if someone sees," Yuechang's soft voice came from the room. Li Nianlong smiled at the girl in blue pajamas, "Changchang, long time no see. How are you?"

Yuechang gave a sweet smile, "I'm okay. At least I can open my eyes now."

After sacrificing two months of cultivation for Li Nianlong, Yuechang had slept for a whole month, occasionally waking up just to eat before falling back asleep. It was only a few days ago that she regained some vitality. Though still needing a lot of sleep, she no longer stayed unconscious all day.

Nodding at Yuechang's recovery, Li Nianlong felt a pang of guilt, "Changchang, I'm sorry."

"Big Brother, don't say that." Yuechang smiled, her voice soft like a lamb, "If it wasn't voluntary, I wouldn't have helped."

Moved by her words, Li Nianlong thanked her, "Thank you, Changchang."

"Hehe... no problem," Yuechang giggled, her eyes closing sleepily.

"Hey, why are you only thanking Changchang? I sacrificed a lot too!" Yuexi pouted as she brought out a pot, "Big Brother, you're being biased."

Li Nianlong chuckled, "You're right. Thank you too, Yuexi. You really saved me that day."

"That's better." Yuexi put the pot on the table, "Big Brother, try my braised pork with potatoes."

"I could smell it from the door." Li Nianlong walked over, seeing the yellow potatoes and red braised pork, and praised, "Looks and smells great. Let's see how it tastes."

"It'll be delicious," Yuexi said, taking off her gloves. "I'll get the rice. Changchang, help with the chopsticks."

"Okay." Yuechang rubbed her eyes and walked into the kitchen. Li Nianlong washed his hands, and soon the sisters came out with bowls of rice.

"Big Brother, try it," Yuexi said expectantly.

Li Nianlong nodded with a smile, "Alright, I'll try it."

Braised pork with potatoes is a common dish, but everyone makes it differently. Li Nianlong took a bite of the potatoes with rice.

"How is it?" Yuexi asked nervously.

Li Nianlong chewed for a moment, then tried the pork. After a bit, he smiled, "It's delicious."

Yuexi let out a breath and rolled her eyes playfully, "You made me nervous for nothing."

Li Nianlong explained, "You know I'm from Tianfu. My taste buds are numbed by spicy food, so I need to savor it carefully."

This reason was solid, as Tianfu people are known for their love of spicy food. While visitors to Tianfu might find the food unbearably spicy, locals would often add even more chili to their meals.

"Alright, you pass," Yuexi said, sitting across from Li Nianlong with Yuechang. They shared a warm breakfast, much like the two months they had spent in Tianfu. If only Nalan Ruyue were here, it would be perfect.
