Chapter 639: How Did I End Up With the Protagonist?

“Missing? How did that happen?”

Lin Nuo, ever intrigued by misfortune, found this particularly interesting.

Dad went missing? Now that’s something to talk about; let me have a good laugh at it.

What a qualified protagonist you are! Your parents aren’t dead, your mom seems fine, and your dad is just missing!

“It’s because he’s in seclusion for cultivation. He’s a martial artist, so it’s actually quite normal. The plan was for me and mom to welcome him when he came out, but he just flew away without a word, didn’t tell us where he was going, and hasn’t contacted us since. It’s been almost two years now.”

“No news at all? Have we any idea if he’s dead or alive?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Who knows? No news at all; I’ve been keeping an eye out but found nothing. But we’ve come to terms with it. After all, he rarely cared about us anyway, always busy out there helping the weak and taking on the world as his duty. I get it.”

Su Kexin’s smile faded, her words laced with a hint of sadness.

She says she’s okay with it, but speaking of it brings a touch of sorrow.

After all, with dad gone, it’s just the two of them, mother and daughter, relying on each other.

Not tragic enough, not tragic enough! Honestly, your experience isn’t even as bad as mine, Lin Nuo! At least your dad cared a little, sending you a pair of white stockings with multiple attributes—somewhat fulfilling the responsibilities of a father.

As for my dad? Pure cow dung! A father who treats his own son like a marriage tool. Who knows if he’s dead or alive now.

I have no idea what the Lin family is up to these days, nor do I even need to know.

The trademark of protagonists is an imperfect family; it fuels their motivation to press forward.

“I’m alright, it’s just hard on my mom. When I was little, she managed our household while my grandma mostly took care of me. Dad was hardly home; it was tough on her.”

“So why did you move out of Su Family Village? Couldn’t you stay?”

“For me! For my education and martial arts training, since Su Family Village has fallen behind. Everyone moved out to seek a wider sky. Eventually, Dad took us out, and Mom supported it. Grandma didn’t want to leave, saying she wouldn’t adapt to the outside world, insisting on staying here, so we can only visit her occasionally.”

“Okay, I get it.”

Sounds similar to the situation of the 21st century; rural folks head to the city while lonely elderly folks remain in the countryside.

“Your father had some fame back then.”

“Yeah, he had a bit of fame. But compared to you, Senior Brother, he’s still quite lacking.”

“Don’t drag me into this.”

What’s this? Talking like that and suddenly wanting to scold me? Did you learn this petty attitude in school?

“Senior Brother, it’s just the two of us here; there’s no need to hold back.”

“Don’t bring me into this; keep talking about yourself.”

“Um… fine… Actually, I think I was taken as a disciple because of my dad’s reputation. Sigh, I’m the weakest among Master’s disciples; I lack talent and don’t practice hard enough. I just rode on my dad’s coattails to get into Xuanyun Sect; I owe it all to him.”

Lin Nuo: “…”

I suspect you’re trying to mock me here; aren’t you just describing me? Lack of talent, slacking off, getting in through connections—completely my style!

Wow, so you’re clever enough to insult me indirectly! I should write a book titled “Ordinary and Unremarkable” and come back to slap your face!

“Getting into Xuanyun Sect led to meeting outstanding folks like you, Senior Brother. You’re my lucky star! Thinking about it, I’m also quite thankful to my dad. Among so many cultivators, I’m the only one who became the junior sister to a Senior Brother like you, wielding the Phoenix Twin Swords together and obtaining the Water Spirit Heart. It’s all fated; meeting you has been both right and lucky!”

Lin Nuo: “…”

It’s indeed correct and right; after all, what’s a protagonist without running into a big BOSS? How else would you save the world and become a great hero?

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother~”

As she spoke of Lin Nuo, Su Kexin’s smile brightened, her energy returning as the vibrant girl re-emerged.

Her sparkling eyes met Lin Nuo’s gaze, glistening with tiny tears, making her seem somewhat adorable to him. Her cherry-like pink lips held a hint of charm.

She spoke of her dad with sorrow, yet with her most cherished Senior Brother by her side, feeling so reliable. Her emotions surged, making her infatuation for Lin Nuo grow even stronger.

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother…”

Her voice became gentle as she gradually leaned closer to Lin Nuo’s face, her cherry pink lips softly landing on his.

Lin Nuo made no attempt to resist; her soft, fragrant lips even had a hint of sweetness—a rather wonderful feeling.

Her delicate hands rested lightly on Lin Nuo’s shoulders, her silky white stockings gradually finding their way onto his thighs.

Lin Nuo offered no resistance; in fact, he found himself enjoying it a bit.

Su Kexin’s small, fair body also moved in closer, stirring Lin Nuo’s desire to hold her.

One hand found its place on her slim waist, ready to embrace her, while the other hand settled on her smooth, white thigh—the sensation was simply exquisite.

Just then, Su’s mother and grandmother walked out of the kitchen, happening to witness this scene.

They exchanged looks and shared a chuckle.

These two kids sure are affectionate; they didn’t even take long before getting cozy.

But they also need to be careful; the door isn’t closed. If a neighbor walks in on them, it wouldn’t do. Better to get cozy somewhere else!

Let’s close the door first.

The two women, not wanting to disturb Su Kexin and Lin Nuo, quietly tiptoed towards the door, but accidentally bumped into a cabinet by the wall. With a loud crash, something fell from the top, echoing in the room.

Startled, Lin Nuo and Su Kexin both turned towards the noise.

They saw the two women and could only share an awkward smile:

“You two, keep going; don’t mind us.”

However, Su Kexin and Lin Nuo finally realized what they were doing—this was quite intimate, and right in the ancestral home!

Su Kexin’s face turned as red as a big apple, feeling completely mortified.

Ah, how did I end up kissing my Senior Brother, especially here in the living room, under the gaze of my mom and grandma, with so many ancestral idols around? What a disgrace!

Lin Nuo finally understood the implications—getting all lovey-dovey with Su Kexin, embracing her and touching her legs.

Wow, now I’m stuck messing around with the protagonist!

This girl is cute and all, but we shouldn’t have gone this far!

Realizing the awkwardness, they quickly pulled away, sitting straight and feeling uneasy.

Just like that, they got caught up in romance and didn’t even notice the family around!

“Mom, Grandma, let’s forget this ever happened, alright? So embarrassing!”

Su Kexin stomped her little feet, covering her face in sheer humiliation. Su’s mother and grandmother shrugged it off; the girl was still young—what was there to be embarrassed about?

“Kexin, if you’re in a hurry, we can step out. Or I can go make your bed in your room, and you two can close the door while you’re at it.”

Su’s mother chuckled.
