The middle-aged man playing computer games in the small living room is named Fang Miaomiao, and he is Fang Xian's father.
He remained unmoved when he heard the door open, but when he heard the word "wife," he could no longer sit still.
Fang Miaomiao immediately sprang up and ran to Cai Cuicui's side, looking curiously at Fang Xian and Xue Nai.
He and Cai Cuicui exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other.
"Good lad, you've found such a beautiful wife right after graduation. You've got your father's style from back in the day."
"Quickly, quickly! Yukino, come inside and sit down."
Yukino's cheeks turned bright red, and her whole body felt like it was burning up.
"I...I..."
Fang Xian chuckled. He guessed that Yukino wanted to explain that they were not classmates, but contractual partners.
But then she felt that the word "contract partner" didn't sound right, and considering their relationship, she blurted out the word "wife" without thinking.
Cai Cuicui stepped forward enthusiastically, took Xue Nai's arm, and led her to the living room.
Yukino's mind went blank, and she let Cai Cuicui lead her to sit down on the sofa.
"Old Fang, come quick, come help us tidy up, we're about to eat."
"good."
Fang Miaomiao gave Fang Xian a wink, then happily went into the kitchen with Cai Cuicui.
Fang Xian smiled helplessly, sat down next to Yukino, and began to pour water.
"Have a glass of water first."
"I...I...that's not what I meant..."
Yukino was so nervous that she stammered and quickly tried to explain.
Before she could speak, Fang Xian placed his hand on her forehead.
"It's still quite hot."
Fang Xian held Yukino's small hand and smiled:
"Alright, no need to explain, you are my wife."
"Huh? I...am your...wife?"
"Yes, from now on we're family."
Yukino stared blankly into Fang Xian's sincere eyes.
She then threw herself into Fang Xian's arms and burst into tears.
"Waaah! Thank you, Fang Xian."
"Thank you for giving me a home, sob sob!"
Yukino's crying confused Fang Xian and also drew Fang Miaomiao and Cai Cuicui out of the kitchen.
"Fang Xian! Did you bully Yukino?"
"Fang Xian, you deserve to die!"
Fang Miaomiao stepped forward, grabbed Fang Xian, and started "beating" him.
Cai Cuicui hurriedly comforted Xue Nai, constantly wiping away her tears.
"Yukino, don't cry. Did Fang Xian bully you? Tell Auntie, and Auntie will stand up for you."
Seeing their actions, Yukino quickly explained.
"No, no, Fang Xian didn't bully me..."
"It's because I'm a crybaby..."
Why did he make you cry?
Cai Cuicui lovingly wiped away Xue Nai's large tears, feeling extremely distressed.
Yukino blurted it out hastily.
"Fang Xian said we're family, so I... I was so moved I cried..."
Yukino's words surprised Fang Miaomiao and Cai Cuicui. It turned out that they had misunderstood Fang Xian.
Cai Cuicui embraced Xue Nai and gently stroked her head.
"Silly child, we are family"
Upon hearing Cai Cuicui's words, Yukino was even more moved.
"Aunt..."
"Silly child, you still call me 'Auntie'? You should call me 'Mom'."
"Huh? I..."
"What? Aren't we family?"
Upon hearing Cai Cuicui's slightly reproachful tone, Yukino hurriedly offered an explanation.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant..."
"Then why don't you call her Mom?"
Looking at Cai Cuicui's kind face, Yukino couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions deep within her. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she called out softly.
"mom."
"Oh! What a good child you are, Mom."
Fang Miaomiao gave a thumbs up, as if to say, "As expected of my wife."
Fang Xian was dumbfounded. So, no one stood up for him after the "fatherly love is like a mountain" punch he had just received?
However, he had to admire their experience; they were truly cunning, and Yukino was completely under their thumb.
...
"Yukino, eat more."
Cai Cuicui kept putting food on Xue Nai's plate, showing no sign of stopping.
"Mom... that's enough..."
As Yukino and Cai Cuicui got to know each other better, they no longer felt awkward with each other.
She tried to stop her repeatedly, but she couldn't resist Cai Cuicui's enthusiasm.
Fang Miaomiao watched the harmonious scene with satisfaction, as if she had accomplished a major milestone in her life.
"By the way, Xiao Xian, how was your awakening today?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Cuicui did not stop picking up food with her chopsticks, but instead quieted down and listened attentively.
Yukino ate awkwardly, not daring to look at them at all.
Fang Xian remained calm and composed, answering truthfully.
"I have awakened the power of a Contract Master..."
Before Fang Xian could finish speaking, Cai Cuicui immediately chimed in and kept putting food on Xue Nai's plate.
"No matter what you awaken, bringing us a daughter-in-law today is what makes your parents happiest."
"Nothing else matters."
Fang Miaomiao immediately burst into laughter and served food to Fang Xian.
"Yes, yes, awakening is not important. Just be a good person and treat Yukino well, and you can still live a wonderful life."
"Everyone has their own way of living, there's no need to worry about it."
Fang Xian smiled helplessly. Before he could finish speaking, his parents began to comfort him.
Should he be happy? Or should he be happy?
"Mom and Dad, why don't you ask me what talent I've awakened?"
"It doesn't matter what talent you awaken, as long as you live a good life with Yukino."
Fang Miaomiao waved her hand, indicating that Fang Xian didn't need to say anything more.
It's useless for a "contractor" to awaken any talent; they are destined to be unable to become a full-time awakener. Saying more will only hurt people.
"Sigh! Well, I didn't expect that no one would care when I awakened the legendary SP talent."
"It's okay, all talents... Huh? SP talent?"
Fang Miaomiao and Cai Cuicui looked at Fang Xian suspiciously; they had heard of SP talents before.
If that's true, then "contract masters" might become full-time awakened beings.
"Xiao Xian, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, the school also rewarded me with a villa."
"ah?"
"He also gives me a salary of 100,000 yuan every month."
"What? 100,000 a month?"
"Yes, they also gave me a credit card with a limit of 20 million."
"Twenty million!?"
"Hmm, they even gave me a VVVIP card for the Awakener's Hall."
"The highest level VIP card..."
"Yes, they also gave us a storage ring, an upgrade gift pack, a beginner experience pill, a double experience card, a skill upgrade pill, and an attribute booster."
Fang Miaomiao and Cai Cuicui stared wide-eyed as Fang Xian spoke calmly, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Xiao Xian... is everything you said... true?"
"Why would I lie to you? Here, everything is right here."
With a casual wave of his hand, VVVIP cards, black gold cards, upgrade gift packs, beginner experience pills, double experience cards, and so on appeared on the table.
Clang!
Fang Miaomiao dropped the bowl and chopsticks, and stared at them in disbelief.
Cai Cuicui excitedly covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with surprise.
"My son... has made something of himself..."
"You'll never have to suffer like us again..."
Fang Xian looked at them with a smile and spoke gently.
"It's not me, it's us."
"From now on, we'll be a family."
"—No more suffering."
"I will definitely become the strongest in the world."
"—Contract Master."
