#54 - I can't forget the love between my father and mother.
Chapter 54: Unforgettable, Divided Fatherly Love and Motherly Affection
A few days later.
In an open space within a small forest, the fragrant grass grew lush, and the breeze rustled gently.
The sound of collisions echoed through the air.
Bang, bang!
Two figures, one golden and one white, chased each other across the grass.
Each wielded wooden blunt swords, heavy as stone and iron.
They rapidly swung and parried.
Beside the clearing, beneath a tree, Bibi Dong, dressed in a purple dress, sat cross-legged on the grass.
A gentle smile graced her face, making her appear graceful and serene.
A pendant around her neck added a touch of elegance.
In front of her were a fruit basket and a food box.
She neatly prepared fruit slices and arranged pastries from the box.
Her movements were skilled.
Without looking, she could peel fruit completely and thinly.
Her clear purple eyes sparkled.
She watched the sparring siblings with contentment.
The wind stirred her golden hair, giving it shape.
The sunlight enveloped her and them, bringing a warmth that penetrated to the bone and refreshed the heart.
For the past two years, Bibi Dong's favorite thing to do was to spend time with her two children.
No matter what they did, she felt at peace and happy as long as they were there.
Even becoming stronger for revenge had to take a backseat to this.
Swish! Bang!
On the thick grass, the wooden swords in Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue's hands clashed repeatedly.
White light flashed in his purple eyes.
With the Eye of Insight, Qian Renjue's swordsmanship improved rapidly.
But he was still no match for his little teacher.
The sword in Qian Renxue's hand became increasingly sharp.
Her even greater insight and familiarity with swordsmanship allowed her to see through all of Qian Renjue's attacks.
With a flick of her wrist, the wooden sword she thrust out transformed into more than a dozen afterimages.
Clang!
Qian Renjue raised his hand to sweep away the sword curtain.
But Qian Renxue instantly retracted her sword, taking advantage of the moment when Qian Renjue had just finished swinging his sword.
His old strength was gone, and new strength had not yet arisen.
She immediately raised her sword and pointed it directly at Qian Renjue, closing in on him.
Clang!
Qian Renxue twisted her wrist, deflecting Qian Renjue's returning sword.
No matter what attack Qian Renjue made, or how he retreated.
The tip of Qian Renxue's sword was always pointed at his throat.
Helpless, Qian Renjue had to jump backward.
Only when Qian Renxue did not pursue did he stand still safely.
He touched his neck in surprise.
Smiling, he said:
"Sister, you've become even more powerful."
"Jue's progress is also good."
Qian Renxue smiled meaningfully, sheathed her sword, and the white light in her eyes receded.
Suddenly, a strand of golden hair slowly fell beside her ear.
"Haha..."
Qian Renjue let out a hearty laugh, which quickly froze.
He stared blankly at the two golden buttons on his collar.
Suddenly falling off with a 'pop!'
"Pfft."
Seeing the speed at which Qian Renjue's expression changed, Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh.
"Jue, you still need to train hard!"
Qian Renxue smiled beautifully, tapping her head lightly with the hilt of her sword.
"Got it."
Qian Renjue squatted down dejectedly, picking up the two golden buttons.
Qian Renxue stepped forward.
She came to Qian Renjue, bent down, and extended her soft hand, her face full of smiles.
"Let's go."
"Yeah!"
Qian Renjue looked up and smiled, reaching out to grab Qian Renxue's soft hand.
Together, they walked towards the tree.
"Mom!"
Arriving under the tree, Qian Renjue skillfully sat down next to Bibi Dong.
He hooked his arm around her shapely arm and leaned on her shoulder.
Gently inhaling her fragrance.
"Mm."
Bibi Dong responded softly, tilting her head slightly to rub against Qian Renjue.
Her gentle gaze reflected Qian Renxue's appearance.
Her goose-yellow dress was form-fitting and elegant, with a hint of ankle showing at the hem.
Bibi Dong parted her red lips and said softly:
"Xiao Xue, it seems you've grown taller recently. Next time, I should measure your height again."
"Thank you, Mom."
Qian Renxue smiled, sitting down beside Bibi Dong.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed.
She mimicked Qian Renjue, gently leaning on Bibi Dong's shoulder.
She cherished every moment.
Bibi Dong raised her hand, affectionately stroking Qian Renxue's face.
There was no trace of past disgust in her eyes.
This daughter was very much like herself.
Feeling the warmth and weight on her shoulders, Bibi Dong felt incredibly peaceful.
"Mom brought you some fruit and pastries that I just made this morning. Try them and see how they are."
Bibi Dong looked gentle and acted elegantly, feeding a slice of pineapple to Qian Renxue's mouth.
She turned to Qian Renjue and said:
"Jue, take off your coat first, and Mom will help you sew the buttons back on."
"Yeah!"
Qian Renjue stuffed the fruit in his hand into his mouth.
He neatly took off his coat and placed it in Bibi Dong's arms.
He smiled and kissed Bibi Dong's face.
"Thank you, Mom!"
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes.
A hint of crystal still clung to her face, mixed with the scent of fruit.
From her soul device, she took out a needle and thread, comparing and selecting the color number.
She slowly began to thread the needle.
"Mom, you eat some too."
Qian Renjue pinched fruit and pastries, diligently feeding them to both sides.
"Sister, try this, it's better than what Dad makes."
As soon as Qian Renjue finished speaking.
He keenly felt a chill spreading around him, and a cold laugh in his ear.
Qian Renxue had just taken a pastry.
The action of chewing froze at that moment.
"Heh."
Bibi Dong clenched the needle in her hand.
"Mom?"
Qian Renjue immediately sat upright, looking at Bibi Dong with some guilt.
Bibi Dong held the needle in front of Qian Renjue's eyes, with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
Her voice was gentle, but seemed to carry a hint of threat.
"Jue, I'll let it go this time, but don't mention him in front of me, understand?"
"Yes, yes. I won't say it, I won't say it."
Qian Renjue nodded repeatedly.
"Remember, Mom has given you many chances."
The needle in Bibi Dong's hand gently brushed against the skin on Qian Renjue's face.
"Don't make Mom unhappy, okay?"
"I, I understand."
Qian Renjue swallowed and nodded gently.
"Mm, that's a good boy."
Bibi Dong withdrew that cold smile, becoming bright again.
She tapped Qian Renjue's face as if rewarding him.
When she looked down again to do her needlework.
A hint of gloom, resentment, apology, and reluctance flashed in her eyes.
The stronger she became, the farther she was from her two children.
The smile on Qian Renxue's face gradually disappeared.
Her red lips opened and closed, and the pastry in her mouth became somewhat difficult to swallow.
Bibi Dong still couldn't forget that matter.
Qian Renxue could understand.
Qian Renjue touched his face, where the needle had brushed and the lips had touched.
His expression was strange.
He leaned back on Bibi Dong's shoulder again.
Even if the fatherly love and motherly affection were mutually divided, Qian Renjue was very satisfied.
He didn't want to see either part missing.
Qian Renxue also silently leaned on Bibi Dong's shoulder, seemingly reluctant.
Continually rubbing gently.
...
In the morning, after outdoor sword practice and reading, Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue bid farewell to Bibi Dong and returned to their residence.
The afternoon was time for meditation to cultivate soul power.
The sun set in the west.
Qian Xunji arrived with a cart, his smile more radiant than usual.
The target had been basically locked.
He hoped that this gift could allow two divided loves to coexist.
Even if still divided.
Wishing everyone a happy life!
Graduation defense is tomorrow, a bit busy, keeping up with updates.
