"Home?" Chen Hao was taken aback; he had no idea which home Ye Yuqiao was referring to.

Was Ye Yuqiao thinking of returning to Netherworld City? He wondered.

When Ye Yuqiao glanced up at Chen Hao and saw his puzzled face, she chuckled softly, "Of course, I'm talking about our home in Y City of the mortal world. You're so annoying, still not treating me like family."

"How could that be!" Chen Hao laughed goofily, "I've considered you family for a long time, why else would I have brought you to live at my place?"

Ye Yuqiao swept a look at Chen Hao, showed a dreamy smile, then leaned into Chen Hao's embrace and said, "Take me home, will you? I want to see Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng, I haven't seen them in so long; also, it's been a long time since I've eaten a meal made by you."

"But without Niu Tou and Ma Mian, how will we get back to the mortal world?"

"I can summon a gate to the mortal world," said Ye Yuqiao.

"Then let's go home!"

...

...

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao returned to their home in Y City of the mortal world.

Since Chen Hao had cleaned the night before when they arrived, the house was very tidy.

"Chen Hao, I'm hungry!" Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao hung onto Chen Hao's neck and said, with unusual intimacy. To her, home was a warm and private space; it was only there that she could completely relax her heart and let down all her defenses.

Chen Hao held Ye Yuqiao's waist with both hands when suddenly, the door to the room burst open. Xie Xiaofeng walked out of the room, startling the gradually involved Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao into separating.

"Seems like I've come out at an awkward time," Xie Xiaofeng said with a glum face.

Chen Hao gave an awkward smile, then glanced at Ye Yuqiao, whose face was redder than a tomato straight from the fridge. Seeing her shy appearance, he laughed proudly.

"Naughty!" Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao fiercely.

Chen Hao immediately shifted his gaze to Xie Xiaofeng and asked, "Xie Xiaofeng, what are you doing in my room?"

"Tang Jing asked me to wait here for your news!" Xie Xiaofeng explained, "You went to the Netherworld and didn't come back; she was very worried, so I came. She should be arriving soon, probably nearly here."

As he spoke, Xie Xiaofeng's expression grew increasingly stiff. After finishing his explanation, he couldn't help but shift his eyes to Ye Yuqiao behind Chen Hao and made eye contact with Chen Hao, signaling with his eyes, questioning whether this Yuqiao was real or not.

Chen Hao didn't rush to answer Xie Xiaofeng's question. Instead, he spoke with vested interest, "You mean to say Tang Jing is also coming over and will stay at my house tonight with you. That means if Yuqiao and I hadn't come back, you two would've been here alone."

"This..." Xie Xiaofeng was somewhat embarrassed, "Doesn't your house have two rooms?"

"But there's only one plank left on the bed in my grandfather's room, it's impossible to sleep on."

"Isn't there also a sofa in the living room?"

"Is there?"

Chen Hao looked skeptically at Xie Xiaofeng, then teasingly asked, "Xie Xiaofeng, you wouldn't be using my house as a place for your secret rendezvous, would you?"

Xie Xiaofeng laughed bitterly, helpless, and then gestured a middle finger at Chen Hao; "I really can't stand your rundown house. I've got a proper job now, I'm not short on cash."

Xie Xiaofeng had just finished when suddenly, the front door of Chen Hao's house was pushed open, and then Tang Jing walked in.

"Jerk!" Tang Jing was very emotional upon seeing Chen Hao for the first time.

"Tang Jing!" Ye Yuqiao stood out from behind Chen Hao and took the initiative to greet Tang Jing.

Instantly, Tang Jing was stunned. When she recovered, she immediately rushed forward and hugged Ye Yuqiao.

"Yuqiao, you're back, I've finally seen you again!" Tang Jing's voice trembled with crying.

"Tang Jing!" Ye Yuqiao was so excited and happy that she didn't know what to say, so she shouted Tang Jing's name again.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaofeng scratched his head awkwardly and asked, "Tang Jing, you haven't said a word since you met, how did you know it was really Yuqiao?"

"Woman's intuition, get it?" Tang Jing scornfully glanced at Xie Xiaofeng.

"First, you have to be a woman, though."

"Xie Xiaofeng!" Tang Jing glared at Xie Xiaofeng furiously.

"I was wrong, Sister Jing!" Xie Xiaofeng immediately showed weakness.

Tang Jing smiled triumphantly, then looked into Ye Yuqiao's eyes and explained with a laugh, "The way Yuqiao looks at me has always been like a sister looking at her younger sister. And that fake Yuqiao, her eyes lacked that kind of emotion."

Ye Yuqiao nodded, moved.

"Goddess," Xie Xiaofeng then walked up to Ye Yuqiao, "we also haven't seen each other for such a long time, can I get a hug too?"

Before Ye Yuqiao could respond, Tang Jing pushed Xie Xiaofeng away and blurted out a decisive "Scram!"

Ye Yuqiao chuckled, then sighed, "I didn't expect that after some time, Xie Xiaofeng, this jerk, has been completely tamed by you."

Afterward, the four of them sat on the sofa at Chen Hao's home and chatted with laughter and cheer. Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng talked about the amusing incidents that happened while working at the Yin Yang Master Association, while Chen Hao talked about the war that happened in the Huiyin Mountains a couple of days ago.

Ye Yuqiao, leaning on Chen Hao's shoulder, silently listened to the three of them, tensing or laughing from time to time following their descriptions. She reveled in this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. She occasionally glanced around the old house, looked at the other three, and felt the simplicity and joy of being a mortal in the mortal world. Her heart told her to cherish these beautiful times.

After a long chat, Xie Xiaofeng suddenly asked about Chen Hao's and Ye Yuqiao's next plans.

"Can we not talk about that for now?" Ye Yuqiao suddenly spoke up, "I just want to have fun with you all for a few days, without thinking about anything."

"Of course!" Xie Xiaofeng replied astutely, "Then Tang Jing and I will take days off for the next few days, coming over to freeload food and drinks every day."

"Then you'll have to bring your own meat, vegetables, and drinks. I'm not providing!" Chen Hao said.

"Stingy!" Xie Xiaofeng raised his middle finger at Chen Hao, "Fine, I'll bring food and drinks when I come over tomorrow!"

...

...

The night was deep.

Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng left.

On the sofa, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao lay together.

"Yuqiao, there's something I have to tell you. I've done everything with that fake Yuqiao, are you going to be angry?"

"If I were with your past life, Ye Heng, would you be angry?" Ye Yuqiao asked back with a dark face.

Chen Hao sighed helplessly, "It seems I would be angry."

"Actually, it's okay. She wasn't wrong, she's also a part of Yuqiao, and you thought of me as her at the time, so I forgive you."

"So you and Ye Heng really didn't...?"

"Idiot!!" Ye Yuqiao was very angry.
