I Have a Golden Crow

Chapter 1069 - 673: The Human World’s Daily Life

Du Yu never expected that he would have the chance to live in Teacher Li’s home again within his lifetime.That night, he occupied Li Mengnan’s boudoir once more, and naturally, Li Mengnan went to the master bedroom to sleep with her mom.

Evidently, today’s Li Mengnan seemed quite obedient, as silence reigned in the master bedroom.

Yet, Du Yu found himself sleepless.

In this particular environment, the absence of Teacher Li’s reprimanding voice left Du Yu feeling somewhat unsettled.

It wasn’t until the next morning that Du Yu opened his bleary eyes.

He stared at the familiar ceiling, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...

Du Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply!

It may seem hard for people to believe, but in this peaceful setting, he actually panicked.

When the befuddled Du Yu saw the familiar ceiling, he truly panicked!

For a moment, Du Yu felt that everything was a dream, and upon waking, he would be back to the day before the college entrance exam.

"Creak."

A soft noise came from the bed frame, and Du Yu sat up abruptly.

"Hmm... what’s wrong with you?" Little Burning Sun’s voice was soft and sleepy, seemingly awakened.

It was likely not the sound that woke Little Burning Sun but rather the intense inner turmoil of Du Yu.

"Nothing." Du Yu placed a hand on his forehead and exhaled deeply.

Interestingly enough, even when facing the Youhan Tree, he was never as frightened as he was now.

"Du Yu?" Little Burning Sun flew out, gazing curiously at Du Yu with her big orange eyes.

"I’m a bit dazed from sleep." Du Yu forced a smile and glanced at his phone to check the time: 5:26 a.m.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Little Burning Sun looked at Du Yu, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"Hush, don’t make a sound." Du Yu beckoned with a hand, "Come back."

The room fell silent, and in this unique environment, Du Yu instinctively didn’t want Little Burning Sun to be exposed.

It was only after he spoke that he realized Li Mengnan knew about Little Burning Sun’s existence.

He didn’t need to worry about Teacher Li Hong seeing Little Burning Sun; Teacher Li was just a normal person, and Du Yu and Li Mengnan could easily brush it off with casual words.

"Sigh..." As Little Burning Sun entered his body, Du Yu also sighed.

Returning home in glory should be a grand and joyous experience, shouldn’t it?

However, when Du Yu actually achieved it, the situation was far more complicated than he imagined.

He got up and quietly made the bed.

Ever since acquiring the Golden Leaf and Firethorn Tree, it had been a long time since he last made a bed.

Whether in Prince Du’s Mansion or in Shatang Mansion, he would always leave after a good sleep...

It sounded rather negligent~

After tidying the room, Du Yu donned his cap and mask, and quietly left the house.

In the early morning, the lively atmosphere in the streets and alleys gradually put Du Yu’s heart at ease.

At this hour, the morning market hadn’t dispersed, and throngs of people filled the street. Du Yu mingled among the crowd, looking around.

"Authentic cornmeal pancakes, one yuan for two!"

"Sticky bean buns, leek boxes, egg burgers..."

"Big corn porridge, two yuan per bowl, refill for free! Unlimited refills..."

"Wow!" Little Burning Sun was completely energized, "Smells so good."

"Let’s buy and go back to eat with Teacher Li." Du Yu communicated mentally.

Little Burning Sun: "Take off your mask first! So I can smell properly and figure out which is tastiest."

Du Yu lowered his mask slightly to reveal his nose.

Steamed buns, tofu pudding...

Du Yu pulled down the brim of his hat, packing breakfasts at various stalls.

But fully armed, Du Yu instead attracted curious looks from the elderly men and women.

It wasn’t unusual to wear a hat, but who goes out wearing a mask these days?

"This one, sizzling with oil!" Little Burning Sun smacked her lips impatiently.

Du Yu turned to look and smiled.

Is it sizzling with oil?

That’s probably the fritters sizzling in the oil pot, right?

Urged by Little Burning Sun, Du Yu walked over: "How much for a fried cake?"

"Two yuan each, five for three."

"Give me ten yuan’s worth."

"Alright!"

A few minutes later, Du Yu, holding breakfast, quickly left the morning market.

"Alright! No one’s here, eat quickly." Little Burning Sun was eager, "Du Yu, Du Yu~ good Du Yu!"

"Mm." Du Yu picked up a fried cake, pulled down his mask again.

The golden crust looked appetizing; a bite revealed a crisp and crunchy texture.

Especially the sweet and sticky red bean filling, making Du Yu’s mind conjure four big words: Life is worth living.

"Hmm..." Little Burning Sun looked satisfied, "Eat another one."

Du Yu was rather helpless: "I’ll let you eat one more, but let’s go back and eat with the teacher."

"Okay~"

Meanwhile, back at home.

Li Hong woke up in the morning, went to the bathroom to freshen up but noticed Du Yu’s bedroom door wide open.

She went over and saw the neatly made bed.

"Xiaoyu?" Li Hong searched around and then returned to the bedroom.

She looked at the girl sleeping soundly and nudged her: "Nannan?"

"Mm?" Li Mengnan turned to lie on her side, one long leg straddling the thin blanket, responding sleepily.

"Xiaoyu has left." Li Hong sat at the bedside, "You guys don’t have any tasks, right?"

Li Mengnan didn’t even open her eyes: "Probably went to the Mountain and Sea Realm to take care of the Demon Pet or cultivate, will be back soon."

Li Hong: "He’s coming back?"

"He’ll be back, don’t worry... Hey~ Mom! It’s already August!" Feeling the blanket on her leg, Li Mengnan kicked off the thin blanket, annoyed.
