Yan Zheke woke up at 5:30 PM . She put on Lou Cheng's t-shirt and shorts to take a shower and came back to the room to change into her own clothes .
She pointed at her wrinkled shirt and complained, "It's your fault! Get me an iron . "
"How can I go out like this? How can I go home like this?"
"Our iron broke two days ago . . . " Lou Cheng looked up blankly and then a grin appeared on his face . "Don't worry . I got this . "
"Ahh?" Yan Zheke gazed at her official husband, confused .
Lou Cheng reached out his right hand with a thin layer of white frost . As the ice melted, steam rose and heat rolled .
He pulled the shirt with his left hand and moved his right palm down slowly . The crumpled part became flat .
Yan Zheke's eyes shone brightly . She couldn't help complimenting him .
"Cheng, your supernatural ability is becoming more and more practical . You've unlocked this new function . "
"Ever since I perceived the root pulp, my control of the ice and fire supernatural ability has become better," answered Lou Cheng humbly . "Thank you, Coach Yan!"
Spending loads of time on Taoist training materials lately, he liked to summarize his attitude changing, emotion precipitating, and determination firming since he had become a married man as an achievement of their paired practice .
Yan Zheke pursed her lips and turned her head away, her eyes narrowed . She suddenly turned back to gaze at Lou Cheng with a suspicious look .
"I feel there is another meaning in your compliment . . . Hmm . . . You didn't care about the fake pot . You sneakily set up a trap for me . "
"Not at all . I didn't want to bother the military at the beginning, though they are also looking for the Nine Words Formula . When I received this fake pot, I found it amusing and wanted to share with you . Then I realized that we would have quite some free time and that we could do something . . . " Lou Cheng explained with a smile . "We haven't gotten intimate for days . "
"What if . . . What if I didn't feel like it today?" Yan Zheke fixed her hair as she threw a glare at him .
Lou Cheng laughed with his both palms facing up . "We could browse some forums and Weibo together, talk, and go shopping around four or five . We have plenty things to do together . "
"Belated effort!" Yan Zheke raised her chin, the corners of her eyes curved upward .
She stood up and walked to the door, glancing at Lou Cheng, amused and annoyed .
"Why did you lock the door . . . As if you were a bad guy!"
"Just in case . . . What if my mom didn't stay with my aunt tonight or my dad came back early and opened my door to check if I was home? That would be super awkward . . . When we are busy, my Absolute Reaction to our lovemaking . . . I can't pay much attention to anything else, like footsteps or the sound of the key . . . " answered Lou Cheng with a grin .
"But it would be just as awkward if they found out your door was locked from inside . . . " Yan Zheke tilted her head, puzzled .
"No . Look . We are in a relationship that has been approved by our parents . It is perfectly normal for us to lock the door and make out once in a while . It would be odd if we didn't get intimate at all . No one knows how far we have gone anyway . " Lou Cheng reached out his hand to tidy up her hair .
"You sound so experienced . . . " Yan Zheke rolled her eyes and checked Lou Cheng up and down .
"Hahah . . . I read a lot online . It's important to learn from others' mistakes!" Lou Cheng chuckled .
"Hmm . . . Ming's Awkward Moments!"
…
Two days later, the military still couldn't locate the wine pot's origin . Lou Cheng changed into a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and collocated clothes and went to Yan family's villa by Back Water Lake with bags of presents .
It was so open and aboveboard compared to his first visit last summer .
"If my grandparents ask you questions, give straight answers and don't circle about . They used to be teachers and don't like those showy, deceptive guys . " Yan Zheke reminded Lou Cheng right before their arrival .
Lou Cheng didn't feel much pressure from visiting the grandparents . He pointed at himself with a grin .
"I got in Songcheng University by myself . Your grandparents will love me for sure .

"I was always one of the top five in high school . I even made it to the top three several times . I was a really good student, one of the top 20, if not top 10, of the grade . I did very well in the university entry exams . "
"Yesterday's sun can't dry today's clothes . " Yan Zheke hit him gently with a laugh as she pushed the door open .
In the bright, spacious living room, Yan Kai on his day off was chatting with his parents, Yan Jihua and Gao Fen . When he heard the door-opening music, he rose to welcome his daughter and future son-in-law .
Ji Mingyu was at a very important business meeting . She would be back around dinner time .
"Lou, welcome . " Yan Kai managed to calmly and warmly greet the bad boy who had stolen his smart, beautiful, and perfect daughter .
"Hello, Uncle . " Lou Cheng changed into slippers .
"Dad, what are you doing? Cheng is not a guest . . . " Yan Zheke tried to loosen things up . She grabbed her husband's hand and led him towards the couch . She called in her sweetest voice, "Grandpa, Grandma, Lou Cheng has brought you something . "
"Hello, Grandpa, Grandma . . . " Lou Cheng handed over the tea and original-proof spirits .
"Heheh . . . You shouldn't have . Lou, come and sit . " Yan Jihua accepted the bags after a few seconds of looking him up and down .
As they each took a seat, he asked with a smile,
"Lou, you also studied in Xiushan No . 1 Middle School?"
"All parents are into these kinds of questions . . . " Lou Cheng thought before answering, "Yes, I was just next door from Ke's class . Every time they brought out our grade rankings, I always heard her name . "
"Cheng was always in the top 20, sometimes even top 10 . I knew his name back then . " Yan Zheke showed off his good results .
"I heard his name but didn't remember . When he introduced himself outside the Martial Arts Club, I didn't feel familiar at all . . . "
"That's good . " Yan Jihua and Gao Fen exchanged a glance with a nod .
"Lou got in Songcheng University and they became schoolmates again," added Yan Kai .

Yan Zheke had told them this in the past, but they wanted to begin from this topic to avoid any potential awkwardness .
The well-read Yan Jihua asked, puzzled and curious,
"Lou, how did you pick martial arts for your future?"
"It was by chance . I saw Ke in the Martial Arts Club and I had this impulse to join her . . . After a few sessions, I realized I have some talent in this and thought that it shouldn't be wasted . . . " Lou Cheng answered honestly how he signed up for the Martial Arts Club in hopes of pursuing their granddaughter .
He didn't want to bring it up in front of his parents, but he hoped to show his affection and appreciation for Ke before her family .
"I didn't know that . . . " Yan Kai laughed with mixed feelings .
Yan Jihua smiled genuinely and poked fun at him . "Lou, you nurtured schemes . . . "
They chatted along about their past and Yan Zheke flushed a few times .
"Lou, Ke is going to study abroad . She told me you planned to visit her often and practice martial arts there?" Gao Fen was most concerned about this practical problem .
"Yeah, I aim to fly over once per month and stay one to two weeks every time . " Lou Cheng took a stand .
Yan Jihua nodded thoughtfully . "I better hire you a chef . These days, the youths don't know how to cook . Foreign dishes are boring . . . "
"I can cook some simple food . " Lou Cheng couldn't resist showing off . Yan Zheke nodded like a chick picking grains .
"Oh? What can you make? What are you good at?" asked Yan Jihua out of curiosity .
"Actually, just two dishes . One is noodle soup and the other is fried rice with eggs . I'm pretty good at those . " Lou Cheng made fun of himself .
The air around them suddenly froze as if some danger was brewing .
Yan Kai leaned back and muttered to himself,

"Good at fried rice with eggs . . . "
"Damn it! It's exposed!" A past event came to his head and he came to a sudden realization . He turned around to Yan Zheke, who had the same shock in her eyes .
He had snuck into the Yan villa last summer and made out with Ke . They prepared breakfast very romantically but almost got caught by his father-in-law, who mistook the bowl of fried rice with eggs that was cooked by Ke for him and didn't notice Lou Cheng's visit .
He . . . It seemed he had just realized something . . .
…
"You're bad . Why did you show off?" In her room after lunch, Yan Zheke complained to Lou Cheng with a smile . "I was so worried my dad would jump up and wield his scalpel . . . "
"I completely forgot about it . " Lou Cheng wiped off his imaginary cold sweat .
"We should never go beyond ourselves!"
A loud knock came, followed by Yan Kai's clear voice . "Ke, Lou, I have brought some fruits to you . "
"Thank you, Uncle . " Lou Cheng walked over and opened the door, seeing his father-in-law standing there with a plate of delicately cut fruits .
Delicately cut . . .
…
After the meeting with Yan Zheke's grandparents, the young couple continued with their normal lives . Once in a while, Lou Cheng would have a meal with the Yan family and Yan Zheke would visit the Lou family . Now and then, they would have a date and get intimate . Soon, it was July 14th . The military claimed to have some progress regarding the origin of the wine pot .
Lou Cheng packed his bag and stepped out of his room around noon .
"My boy, good job . You're taking Ke on a trip!" Qi Fang nodded out of satisfaction, with no intention to urge him to stay .
"Mom, don't look down upon your son . " Lou Cheng shook his head while walking towards the door .
