Chapter 279: "Spirit, Energy and Spirit" Interferes with Reality
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the weather is getting colder.
However, Du Ruo's B&B and Xiang Yuanyuan's pub became more and more crowded.
Fortunately, the students were on vacation, so they hired two college students to help. This made things a little easier for Yang Ling and Yang Juan from the pub.
Now Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan rarely show up in bars and B&Bs. After all, they are surrounded by people every time they go, and not only can they not help, but they sometimes even cause trouble.
However, the two of them had no intention of buying the B&B and the tavern, so it was fine as it was.
These days, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan went to the mountain and brought some beef to the clouded leopard family there. Occasionally, Xiang Yuanyuan would go to the city. The rest of the time, they didn't go anywhere and stayed at home to hibernate.
Apart from Yang Chenguang who came over every now and then, no one else came to visit.
If they were happy, they would make something to eat. If they were too lazy to cook, they would just go back to their mother's house and eat and drink. They lived a very comfortable life.
At this moment, the two of them were snuggling on the sofa, and the TV in front of them was playing an online TV show.
"Honey, what style do you think we should decorate the children's room in our new house? Pink or blue?"
However, Xiang Yuanyuan did not pay too much attention to the TV. Instead, she was fiddling with her mobile phone, either looking at furniture or appliances, or choosing board colors and the like.
"It's pink. If it's a boy, he'll live in the guest room. If it's a girl, she'll live in the children's room."
Du Ruo didn't even look at Xiang Yuanyuan's phone, and replied directly, while watching TV boredly.
Du Ruo's complexion has recovered a lot now, but his body shape has not recovered. He now looks not as strong as before, but he has gained a lot of weight.
Du Ruo didn't weigh it, but estimated that it was more than three hundred and fifty.
Now, after nearly ten days, the muscle fibers in his body have experienced multiple breaks and regrowths. Now the muscle fiber breaks are not so frequent, and only occasionally can we see muscle fiber breaks. I believe that in these two days, the new muscles in his body will grow well, and this body transformation will be completed.
"Well, that seems to be okay, so let's decorate the room in pink."
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded and decided the matter directly, then continued to look around. There were many things that needed to be confirmed about the new house.
From some big details of the decoration style to the small details such as the color, brand, size of the floor tiles, the color of the curtains, and even whether the windows can be opened safely, etc.
Fortunately, the designer will send several best options to Xiang Yuanyuan and let her choose, but there is still a difference between what you see online and what you see in person. This is also the reason why Xiang Yuanyuan occasionally goes to the city these days to be busy with these things.
However, Xiang Yuanyuan did not find it troublesome. She would even check it out on her mobile phone whenever she had time. Of course, she would also consult her best friends in her group.
Of course, the best friends are Li Qiyao, Li Qiyao's cousin, and Long Zhirou. Among them, the cousin gave the most opinions. Their family is the landlord and the landlady, so they have the most say in what is practical and which brand is better.
"Honey, what brand of refrigerator should we buy?"
After a while, Xiang Yuanyuan held the phone in front of Du Ruo again and asked Du Ruo to help her choose.
"Look at this one, it's very beautiful. This one has more functions and a larger capacity."
"Buy both. The one with the nice appearance will be placed outside to store fruits and other things. The one with the larger capacity will be placed in the kitchen to store vegetables."
Du Ruo gave the answer directly without even looking at the phone.
"Hey, okay~"
Xiang Yuanyuan kissed Du Ruo on the face, then continued to look at other things.
"Ok?"
At this time, Du Ruo, who had been watching TV with an expressionless face, looked out the window with some confusion.
"What's the matter, husband?"
Yuanyuan immediately noticed the change in Du Ruo's appearance. After asking Du Ruo curiously, she quickly put down her phone and looked out the window.
"It's going to snow."
Du Ruo looked out the window. The sky outside was beginning to darken, and it did look a bit like snowing weather, but Du Ruo was sure that it was not snowing outside.
The reason why he said this was that Du Ruo just seemed to have an epiphany and the idea of "it's going to snow" naturally came to his mind.
And after Du Ruo caught this thought that appeared out of nowhere in his mind, he even guessed the exact time when the snowflakes would fall.
"Is it going to snow? Really? The weather forecast said it would snow today. Is it snowing outside now?"
When Xiang Yuanyuan heard Du Ruo say that it was going to snow, the first thing she did was to pick up her phone again and start checking the weather forecast. Sure enough, it showed that it was going to snow today.
"Let's go out and see the first snow of the year. It's about to fall."
Du Ruo squeezed Xiang Yuanyuan's hand and prepared to go out.
"Okay, husband, hurry up."
Xiang Yuanyuan put on her furry slippers, then excitedly opened the door and ran outside.
"Slow down..."
Du Ruo reminded her, then picked up a coat from the door, went out and put it on Xiang Yuanyuan, and then accompanied her to look up at the sky.
There were large dark clouds in the sky, but there seemed to be no sign of snow or rain.
But Du Ruo was very clear that it was about to snow. Naturally, Du Ruo had never had such a feeling about snow before.
It seems that after the breakthrough of "Three Flowers and Five Qi", Du Ruo's understanding of nature has become deeper, and nature has begun to give Du Ruo a certain response.
"Eh? It's not snowing?" Xiang Yuanyuan looked up for a minute and didn't see any snow falling. She even walked out of the eaves with some hopelessness, came to the yard, stretched out her hand and felt it.
"Let the snowflakes float for a while~"
Du Ruo has excellent eyesight, especially after gathering the "qi" around his eyes, he can see very far. He has already seen snowflakes falling from the sky.
“Wow~ It’s snowing!!!”
About ten seconds later, Xiang Yuanyuan let out a loud shout of surprise and caught a snowflake falling from the sky with her hand.
"Snowing??"
“Wow~ It’s really snowing!!”
"It's snowing, it's snowing~~"
As Xiang Yuanyuan shouted loudly with surprise, many villagers ran out of the houses, including many children. When they saw the snowflakes falling, they began to shout loudly.
Children are very innocent. When they see snow, they get inexplicably excited.
And this emotion seemed to be contagious, making the other children excited.
They were running happily with their arms open in the snow.
In fact, it was not just the children. Xiang Yuanyuan, a grown-up kid, did the same. He opened his arms, stood in the open space in the yard, jumped happily, and enjoyed the cool feeling brought by the snowflakes falling on his face.
Du Ruo was watching from the side, and was infected by Xiang Yuanyuan's laughter, and a smile also appeared on his face.
The snow was quite heavy and it dispersed as soon as it hit the ground. But soon, snowflakes that did not have time to melt began to form on the shoulders of Xiang Yuanyuan's coat.
"Hubby, come together~"
Xiang Yuanyuan was as happy as any other child in the village. She was not satisfied with playing by herself, so she ran over and pulled Du Ruo to stand in the snow with her, wanting Du Ruo to also enjoy the feeling of snowflakes falling on her body.
"Good~"
Du Ruo was pulled by Xiang Yuanyuan's cold hand and walked into the snow, but something magical happened.
"Eh? Husband, why can't the snowflakes fall on you?"
Xiang Yuanyuan was originally very excited, but when she accidentally glanced over Du Ruo's head, she happened to see this magical scene.
The snowflakes floated onto Du Ruo's head, as if blocked by an invisible force. The snowflakes swirled around Du Ruo's head and then floated to the side naturally.
"is it?"
Du Ruo looked up and saw the same scene. He was sure that he did not emit any strength or "qi" from his body.
But soon Du Ruo thought of something and began to observe the top of his head with "spirituality".
Above his head, there were three flowers of gold, silver and lead condensed from the "spirit, energy and spirit" that only Du Ruo could see, slowly rotating above his head.
When the snowflakes in the sky came near the three flowers, they would be moved away by the invisible air currents and would not be able to touch Du Ruo at all.
"Haha, because your husband has three flowers on his head that block the snow."
Seeing this scene, Du Ruo smiled, knowing that this was a sign that his "spirit" was beginning to interfere with reality. However, he did not hide it and explained it to Xiang Yuanyuan with a smile.
"Three flowers? What a pity, I can't see them."
Xiang Yuanyuan looked above Du Ruo's head and blinked several times, but did not see the three flowers that Du Ruo mentioned.
But he didn't think Du Ruo was lying to her. He just felt it was a pity that he couldn't see what Du Ruo said.
"It's okay, I'll definitely see it later."
Du Ruo smiled, touched Xiang Yuanyuan's head with her hand, and brushed away the snowflakes that had not yet melted on her head.
"Hmm~"
Xiang Yuanyuan's inexplicable excitement had faded away, and she snuggled up to Du Ruo, and the two of them watched the snowflakes fall.
Because Xiang Yuanyuan was snuggling with Du Ruo, the subsequent snowflakes did not fall on her. The two of them seemed out of tune with this world.
"Wife."
After a long while, Du Ruo spoke softly.
"Ah."
"Let's go hiking tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go check tomorrow to see if the clouded leopard family is warm enough and if the little clouded leopard is freezing."
Whenever the topic of mountain climbing comes up, Xiang Yuanyuan always becomes very happy, and whenever she thinks of the little animals on the mountain, she feels very loving.
"No, we are going to climb Huangshan Mountain tomorrow to see if there will be a different kind of beauty under the heavy snow."
Du Ruo smiled. He was not worried about the small animals on the mountain. They had their own survival rules. And with Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan feeding them, the three clouded leopards had grown a lot fatter and had a lot of fat in their bodies, so they would not be cold because of the snow.
"Okay, I haven't been to Huangshan after it snows either, so I'll go book a ticket now."
When she heard that they were not going to the back mountain but to the top of Huangshan Mountain, Xiang Yuanyuan became even more excited. She didn't even bother to look at the snow. She ran towards the room and started buying tickets with her mobile phone.
