Chapter 538: The King of Hades’ and Chunyu Dong’s Visit
As Chu Yan spoke, he looked up and stared at Lu Sheng. “Moreover, last night, I found out that girl’s full name. Her name is also Lu Sheng.”
He stopped and stared at her.
Lu Sheng blinked and suppressed the sourness in her eyes. She smiled and said, “If I said that this was all a coincidence, would you believe me?”
Chu Yan did not speak and continued looking at her.
Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere fell silent.
After a long while, Chu Yan said in a low voice, “My dream started when I met you. The wife in my dream has the same name as you, but you’re telling me that this was just a coincidence. Sheng Sheng, do you think I would believe you?”
The word ‘Sheng Sheng’ made Lu Sheng’s heart tremble.
She widened her eyes and saw that he wanted to ask something. However, on second thought, she felt that his memory should not have awakened yet. Otherwise, he would not have specially come over to ask her.
“So, what answer do you want me to give you?” She smiled faintly and said, “Say that I fell in love with you at first sight, so I controlled your dream?”
“You know that’s not what I meant.”
Chu Yan sighed softly. “I would never have a sense of familiarity with a stranger for no reason. However, I find you, Uncle Lu, and Uncle Shangguan familiar the moment I see you. It’s as if I’ve seen all of you before.”
Lu Sheng looked at him for a while before saying softly, “If I said that I saw you in my previous life and we were husband and wife, would you believe me?”
Chu Yan was stunned. “In my previous life?”
Could it be that the dreams he had were actually his memories from his previous life?
Could it be that he had made a promise to Lu Sheng before he reincarnated, which was why he found her familiar in this lifetime?
If that was the case, everything made sense.
“You… actually remember, right?” he asked her again.
Although it was a question, his tone was certain.
If these words were said before he was ten years old, he would never believe that there was such a thing as reincarnation in this world.
But after ten years old, he could suddenly see those things. They were living like humans.
Comparatively, it was not impossible for reincarnation.
“Why do you think so?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “If I had my previous life’s memories, why didn’t I recognize you at first sight?”
“Perhaps my appearance has changed?” Chu Yan smiled bitterly. “Moreover, besides Pei Yan, you know almost everyone around me. They also feel that you’re familiar. Sheng Sheng, don’t you think you should explain yourself?”
“So what if I remember?” Lu Sheng sighed faintly. “If I had told you from the first day I recognized you that I was actually your wife in your previous life, would you have believed me?”
Chu Yan was stunned again.
To be honest, if Lu Sheng had really said that to him back then, he might have thought that she was deliberately hitting on him.
“Look, you don’t believe it yourself, right?” Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “So, all I can do is wait for you to remember me.”
“So, we’re really husband and wife, right?”
He was not interested in anything else. He only wanted to know if their relationship was the same as in his dream.
“Yes, but that was in my previous life.”
A sly glint flashed across Lu Sheng’s eyes. She looked up at him and said, “Your name is Chu Yan in this lifetime, not Chu Sihan. Moreover, you don’t remember me or everything about our previous lives. Hence, what happened in our previous lives doesn’t count in this lifetime.”
“Regardless of the previous life or this lifetime, since we can still meet, that means we’re fated. Since we’re fated, it means even the heavens have agreed to let us be husband and wife for generations.”
Chu Yan said anxiously and his face reddened immediately.
Meeting Lu Sheng’s smiling gaze, he hurriedly averted his gaze. He coughed lightly and said, “I mean…”
“What do you mean?”
Lu Sheng tilted her head and met his gaze again.
“I like you!”
Chu Yan pursed his lips. “From the first time I met you, I had an inexplicable feeling towards you. After interacting with you, I realized that I indeed like you and want to be with you every day.”
“I swear, I’ve never felt this way about other girls.”
At least, before meeting Lu Sheng, he thought that he would never like anyone in his life.
Lu Sheng smiled. “But the person I love is Chu Sihan. He’s my husband. I can’t betray him. What should I do?”
“Didn’t you say that I’m Chu Sihan? That means I’m still me. What has that got to do with my name?”
“Of course, if you like the name Chu Sihan, you can call me that in private.”
Lu Sheng chuckled. She felt that Chu Yan had spoken the most today.
“Can you… give me a reply?”
It was the first time in his life that he confessed to a girl. He felt a little anxious.
It was only today that he deeply understood why those girls who confessed to him were so nervous.
It turned out that one would really feel anticipation and nervousness in front of the person one liked.
Lu Sheng chuckled. “I’ve already made it so obvious. What else do you want?”
Chu Yan was stunned. “What do you mean?”
Lu Sheng was speechless for a moment before explaining, “I never bring boys home. Not even girls.”
Chu Yan was elated. “So, you’re admitting that I’m Chu Sihan?”
“You are.”
Lu Sheng glanced at him, picked up an orange, and peeled it slowly.
“Why are you staring at me?”
Sensing his burning gaze, Lu Sheng suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled charmingly at him. “Brother, you’re still underage. Don’t have any crooked thoughts about me.”
Chu Yan’s face reddened immediately. He mumbled weakly, “I’ll be eighteen by the end of the year.”
He stole a glance at Lu Sheng and saw her smiling at him.
For some reason, he suddenly felt like he had been teased from Lu Sheng’s gaze.
At this moment, the door opened.
Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian walked in with big and small bags.
Lu Sheng took a look and realized that they were all ingredients.
“Oh, you’re here?”
Lu Zhou passed the items in his hand to Shangguan Dian and let him carry them into the kitchen.
“Hello, uncles!”
Chu Yan stood up and greeted the two of them.
Shangguan Dian smiled at him and carried the items into the kitchen.
“Why did you buy so many ingredients for no reason?” Lu Sheng asked with her eyebrow raised.
There were still a lot of meat and vegetables in the fridge.
“We have guests coming over today.”
When Lu Zhou said this, he subconsciously looked at Chu Yan.
However, Chu Yan misunderstood.
He hurriedly stood up and said, “Since there are guests, I’ll go back first.”
“Why are you panicking?” Lu Zhou frowned. “Sit down quickly.”
Chu Yan paused and hurriedly looked at Lu Sheng. Seeing her nod slightly, he sat back on the sofa.
“Who’s coming?” Lu Sheng asked.
Lu Zhou said, “Your Uncle Yan, Uncle Chunyu, and the rest.”
Chu Yan did not know what happened to him. When he heard the word ‘Yan,’ his heart trembled.
“Really?”
Lu Sheng was elated. She looked at Chu Yan and said, “Ah Yan, you stay too and have a meal with us.”
Since she wanted him to stay, he naturally would not refuse. Hence, he nodded.
Lu Zhou glanced at Chu Yan meaningfully and lowered his head with a faint smile.
“Master, aren’t you going to help Uncle Shangguan?”
“Uncle?” Chu Yan was puzzled.
Lu Sheng explained, “Oh, logically speaking, he’s actually my godfather.”
Chu Yan was speechless.
He had not been here for a few days, but Shangguan Dian had changed from an uncle to a godfather…
“My master is my biological father. Uncle Shangguan is my father’s friend. Logically speaking, it’s right to call him Uncle. It’s even more so for Godfather. Don’t you think so, Master?”
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou glanced at her speechlessly and stood up. “I’ll help your Uncle Shangguan. You young people can chat yourselves.”
Initially, among the three of them, Shangguan Dian had the worst culinary skills.
However, it turned out that he had the best culinary skills now.
As to why, it could only be described as ‘practice makes perfect.’
He loved eating delicacies the most. He either watched gourmet programs or food videos every day.
After watching them, he went out to buy a bunch of ingredients to practice. As time passed, his culinary skills became better.
His culinary skills were comparable to a Michelin chef.
It was also because of this that her master became lazier. Other than breakfast, Shangguan Dian usually made lunch and dinner.
Of course, she would occasionally do it at home.
“What do you usually do on the weekends?” Lu Sheng asked Chu Yan.
For example, she could guess how Pei Yan and the rest spent their weekend.
However, she could not guess Chu Yan. She kept feeling that he rarely went to those places.
Chu Yan thought for a while and said, “Playing basketball, exercising, playing games, or reading novels.”
Lu Sheng clicked her tongue. She was right.
Speaking of which, she, Lu Zhou, and Shangguan Dian did not like to exercise, so there were no fitness equipment at home.
However, she did run around the district park occasionally.
Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian only finished cooking at around four.
Lu Sheng counted them carefully. There were a total of eighteen dishes.
Her lips twitched. Could they finish so many dishes?
Soon, the doorbell rang.
Shangguan Dian took off his apron and smiled. “They should be here.”
Lu Sheng said, “I’ll open the door.”
Chu Yan sat silently at the side. He was very curious who they were that made Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian prepare such a feast.
“Uncle-Master Yan, Uncle-Master Chunyu, you’re here?”
“It’s been so long since we last met, but our Lu Sheng is still so pretty.”
Chunyu Dong smiled and rubbed Lu Sheng’s hair.
The moment the King of Hades and Chunyu Dong walked in, Chu Yan suddenly stood up from the sofa.
He stared at the King of Hades in a daze and felt an inexplicable strong feeling in his heart.
He could not describe what he felt, but this person gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
It was as if he was a relative he had forgotten.
The King of Hades glanced at Chu Yan and raised his eyebrows. His expression was very calm.
When Chunyu Dong saw Chu Yan, he was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled at Lu Sheng and said softly, “You really found him?”
Lu Sheng smiled proudly. “Of course, we’re fated.”
“Have we… met before?”
Chu Yan looked at the King of Hades and suddenly spoke.
“No.” The King of Hades asked Lu Zhou unhappily, “Who’s this kid?”
Lu Zhou smiled and teased, “My daughter’s boyfriend.”
Chu Yan was first embarrassed by the King of Hades’ tone, then embarrassed by Lu Zhou’s teasing tone.
Lu Sheng chuckled and walked forward to explain to Chu Yan, “Ignore Uncle-Master Yan. He’s just teasing you.”
“So, I’ve seen him before?”
Knowing that he was referring to his previous life, Lu Sheng nodded.
Lu Zhou looked at the King of Hades and Chunyu Dong and said, “Take a seat quickly. The dishes are getting cold.”
“So many dishes?” Chunyu Dong raised his eyebrows. “Who made them?”
Shangguan Dian said proudly, “Ah Zhou and I made them. Hurry up and try it.”
As he spoke, he placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of the two of them.
Lu Sheng also gave Chu Yan some cutlery and the two of them sat beside Lu Zhou.
During this period, Chu Yan kept looking at the King of Hades subconsciously. The King of Hades was impatient from his gaze and even glared at him angrily.
How could he not be angry that his son did not remember his father?
Chu Yan retracted his gaze in embarrassment. In order to hide his embarrassment, he even picked up a piece of pork ribs for Lu Sheng.
The meal lasted until eight in the evening.
Lu Sheng thought that they could not finish the dishes. She did not expect to see the bottom of the plates.
She had underestimated their stomach capacity.
“The food is indeed delicious. It’s a pity that Ah Yin can’t come because she’s pregnant.”
Lu Sheng was surprised. “Aunt-Master Wen Yin is going to have a baby?”
“Yes.” Chunyu Dong nodded and said gently, “She’s giving birth soon.”
“Congratulations, Uncle-Master Chunyu.” Lu Sheng smiled and congratulated him.
Chunyu Dong nodded. “Thank you, Lu Sheng.”
“Uncle-Master Chunyu, wait for a while!”
After speaking, Lu Sheng turned around and ran upstairs.
After a while, she carried a pair of grizzly bears down. Both of them were sixty-five centimeters tall, and they seemed to be a pair.
Moreover, they were all wrapped. It seemed like they had not been opened before.
“This is a gift for my future siblings.”
Now, Chunyu Dong and the rest still lived in the Five Peaks. They would only come over once every ten years.
“What’s this? A big worm?”
Chunyu Dong looked at the two gray bears curiously.
They always came directly to Lu Zhou’s place, so they had not seen many things.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “This is a doll.”
“Oh.”
Chunyu Dong received it in a daze. After sizing it up, he smiled and said, “When your siblings are born, I’ll bring them over to thank you.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay!”
Before the King of Hades left, he glanced at Chu Yan and wanted to say something. However, he only sighed softly and left without saying anything.
The room regained its peace. Shangguan Dian and Lu Zhou were packing their things, and Chu Yan was helping.
Lu Sheng walked to Chu Yan’s side and heard him ask in a low voice, “Who… are they?”
Lu Sheng glanced at him and replied, “They’re my master’s Senior Brothers.”
“That person… Could he be my relative in my previous life?” Chu Yan hesitated for a moment and asked.
Lu Zhou looked up at him and smiled. “He’s not just a relative. You’ll understand in the future.”
