The dark and dreary night seemed to be smeared on the sky with boundless thick ink, and there was not even a glimmer of stars.

The night was dark, but Shen Man's room was warmly lit.

Looking at this warm corner, Qin Yuan and Shen Man looked at each other and smiled, pushed open the door and walked home.

"Mom, are you back?"

Hao Xin heard the sound of the door, and she turned her head as she spoke, while watching TV.

Seeing that Qin Yuan was also looking at her with a smile, the little guy was stunned on the spot, and then ran towards Qin Yuan happily, and threw himself into Qin Yuan's arms with a flying pounce.

Qin Yuan happily hugged Hao Xin, "Xinxin, do you miss me?" ”

Hao Xin kissed Qin Yuan on the cheek cordially, and said happily, "I want to kill you." ”

"Why haven't you come to see me for so long?"

Seeing Hao Xin and Qin Yuan so cordial, Shen Man said jealously on the side: "Xinxin, how can you see Uncle Qin Yuan than you see your mother." ”

Hao Xin beckoned to Shen Man like an adult, then kissed Shen Man on the face and said, "Because I treat Uncle Qin Yuan as my father." ”

After speaking, he said flatteringly to Qin Yuan, "Dad, can you buy a Barbie doll for Xinxin?" ”

"Xinxin, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Man heard Hao Xin call Qin Yuan's father, her face flushed, and at the same time secretly glanced at Qin Yuan.

And Qin Yuan was also embarrassed when he heard Hao Xin call him father, and after he paused for a while, he said hesitantly: "Xin, Xinxin." ”

"I forgot to bring you a gift today, so I'll buy it for you next time I come."

"Okay, Daddy is the best for me." Hao Xin kissed Qin Yuan again, and he was stupidly happy.

Hearing Hao Xin call Qin Yuan's father again, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and then lowered their heads at the same time.

The atmosphere was suddenly awkward, and no one spoke quietly in the living room.

After a long time, Shen Man urged sternly: "What time is Xinxin, you still haven't gone to bed?" ”

"Hurry up and go to bed."

Although Shen Man's tone was stern, Qin Yuan heard a hint of joy from Shen Man's words.

Hao Xin pouted, shook his head vigorously, and then said, "I don't want to sleep, I want to play with Father Qin." ”

When Shen Man heard that Hao Xin was disobedient, he instantly became angry and shouted loudly, "Do you sleep?" ”

Hao Xin pouted, hugged Qin Yuan's neck affectionately, and said aggrievedly: "Father Qin, the one you take care of your family, she is like a tigress." ”

Hearing Hao Xin say that he was a tigress, Shen Man became even more angry, and stretched out his hand to hit Hao Xin.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan hurriedly turned around to protect Hao Xin, and said at the same time: "Sister Man, don't beat the child, what do you have to talk to the child." ”

"It's better for Dad Qin, don't fight Xinxin, unlike some people." Hao Xin hugged Qin Yuan affectionately and looked at Shen Man proudly.

"You're going to get used to her."

As soon as Shen Man finished speaking, he realized that the words just now were as if he and Qin Yuan were really a family, he secretly glanced at Qin Yuan, and found that the other party did not refuse, and his heart was instantly happy, but his face was flushed.

Qin Yuan smiled softly at Shen Man, and then said, "Xin Xin, you see it's dark." ”

"Your mother is right, we should go to bed."

"Sleeping late is not good for your growth."

Hearing Qin Yuan say this, Hao Xin's little eyes rolled several times, and said coquettishly: "Then I want Father Qin to coax Xinxin to sleep." ”

"I see that you are really looking for a fight, your Uncle Qin is so busy, how can he have time to coax you to sleep."

"Hurry up and get out of Uncle Qin's arms and go back to the bedroom to sleep."

Shen Man saw Hao Xin hugging Qin Yuan as if she had found a backer, she was angry and funny.

"No, I want Dad Qin to sleep with me."

Hao Xin said with tears in his eyes.

Shen Man saw that Hao Xin was disobedient, and just wanted to reprimand, but saw Qin Yuan make a gesture to himself.

Then I heard Qin Yuan say: "Okay, then I'll coax you to sleep, don't be naughty." ”

"Dad Qin is so good to Xinxin." Hao Xin kissed Qin Yuan's cheek again as he spoke.

Shen Man smiled speechlessly, and then said to Qin Yuan, "You just get used to her." ”

"Sooner or later, this kid will be spoiled by you."

Hao Xin grimaced at Shen Man when he heard this, and then pulled Qin Yuan back to his bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, the little guy lay down on the bed neatly, and then said, "Father Qin, you come to Xinxin's side." ”

Qin Yuan smiled bitterly, took a small blanket and covered Hao Xin's body, and then said warmly: "Xinxin, you close your eyes." ”

Hao Xin obediently closed his eyes, and then said, "Father Qin, tell me a story." ”

Qin Yuan smiled slightly, followed the example of his mother when he was a child when he coaxed himself to sleep, gently patted Hao Xin with his hand, and said gently: Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit......

"Father Qin, I don't want to listen to this."

Hao Xin interrupted Qin Yuan's words.

"And what do you want to hear?" Qin Yuan asked puzzled.

"Father Qin, have you taken care of my mother?" Hao Xin blinked his big eyes and asked strangely.

"What are you little kid asking about?" Qin Yuan pretended to be very angry and said to Hao Xin.

Hao Xin ignored Qin Yuan, and said earnestly: "Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin, don't leave tonight." ”

"Let's go sleep in my mother's house."

"That's all I can do for you."

"You have to seize your chance."

Qin Yuan smiled bitterly, what is this kid thinking about all day long? Then he pretended to be angry and said,

"Xinxin, don't talk nonsense, children. Go to sleep. ”

"Oh."

Hao Xin's mouth was deflated, and he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Qin Yuan's hand gently slapped on Hao Xin's body, again and again, and after a while, the little guy's snoring gradually came.

Qin Yuan looked at Hao Xin again and found that she was indeed asleep, picked up the quilt and covered her tightly, and then walked out of the house lightly and closed the door.

"Xinxin is asleep?" Shen Man asked softly.

Qin Yuan nodded, and then whispered: "The little guy is very interesting, you have to let me sleep in your room......"

Qin Yuan said that he found that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly shut up.

After Shen Man heard Qin Yuan's words, his face turned crimson, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Qin Yuan saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "What, Sister Man, it's not early, I'll go back first." ”

Shen Man's face turned red, and he stood there shyly without speaking.

Seeing that Shen Man didn't answer, Qin Yuan smiled awkwardly and turned to leave.

However, before Qin Yuan could reach the door, Shen Man's low voice came from his ears,

"That's Xiaoyuan, it's not early, and it's not safe for you to go on the road."

"Or ......"

"Or you'll live with me."

After Shen Man said this, his face blushed to the base of his neck.

When Qin Yuan heard Shen Man's words, his body couldn't help but be shocked, and his heart was ecstatic.

He turned his head to look at Shen Man, but found that Shen Man didn't dare to look at him at all, lowering his head and playing with his fingers, and his originally white cheeks were even more red from his face to his neck.

"I ......"

"Forget it, Sister Man, I'd better go home, right?"

"I haven't been home for days, and my mom will be worried if I don't go back."

In other words, any man is reluctant to leave when he sees a big beauty like Shen Man staying overnight, and Qin Yuan is no exception.

But since he was a child, he had a strict family education, and he would definitely not do anything out of the ordinary when he was not married, so Qin Yuan chose to leave.

"Oh, then you stay safe on the road." There was a hint of disappointment in Shen Man's tone.

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded, then turned around and went out.

As soon as he went out, a cold wind blew towards Qin Yuan, and he couldn't help but tighten his coat, it was almost April now, and the weather was still a little cold.

Where to go? Qin Yuan shuddered and thought to himself, by the way, Chen Da gave me a few hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, I don't know if it will be of any help to me to break through to the third layer.

Thinking of this, his heart was full of fire, and he hurriedly drove towards the Jinluan Garden.

As soon as he entered the door of his new home, Qin Yuan couldn't wait to open the gift boxes, and as soon as he opened them, he smelled a faint fragrance of grass.

Qin Yuan anxiously grabbed a ginseng and gnawed it, and after eating the ginseng for a while, he bit his finger, then smeared the blood on the jade pendant, and closed his eyes and came to the enchantment.

He sat down on the small bed, closed his eyes, and recited the mantra in his mouth, and cultivated the Nine Transformations of Divine Strength.

Now he has just reached the second layer of the Nine Transformations Divine Physiognomy Gong, and if he wants to reach the third layer, he must first complete the second layer and then break through the bottleneck.

So his first step now is to first cultivate the second layer to full qualification.

Perhaps because of eating a hundred years of ginseng, Qin Yuan felt that the true qi in his body was full, and it was not difficult to cultivate at all, and after a while, he felt a warm current in his body surge, and the warm current was like a few drops of water that gradually gathered together to form a small river.

As time passed minute by minute, Qin Yuan felt that the true qi in his body had not increased no matter how much he was cultivating, and in desperation, he stopped cultivating.

Then he felt that he was now about one-third of the second level of cultivation.

It's strange, why can't I cultivate now?

Is it that the effects of ginseng have been used up.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuan pressed the button of the electronic watch again, and then returned to reality.

As soon as he returned to his house, Qin Yuan didn't stay long, picked up the rest of the ginseng and stuffed it into his mouth.

Qin Yuan chewed the remaining two ginseng painfully, and drank a large glass of water after eating. Then while the blood on his hand had not dried up, he hurriedly wiped it on the jade pendant again.

Qin Yuan came to the enchantment again, and he couldn't wait to jump to the small bed and cultivate.

Through the thought of the mantra over and over again, Qin Yuan felt that his lower abdomen was hot, as if there was a volcano in his stomach, with the thought of his mantra, the true qi continued to surge in his body, erupting bursts of hot energy, and the energy quickly gathered throughout his body, surging towards his various organs, Qin Yuan only felt that there were bursts of hot sensation from his eyes, nose, ears and other organs.

However, just as he was about to re-operate this true qi into the dantian, he found that this warm current disappeared within his five senses.

"Hey, the second layer is full of cultivation."

"However, I still can't break through the third layer."
