The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chapter 477 Meeting the Parents

Xiao Mubei didn't understand what was going on, so he didn't say anything. After a long while, Chu Yunxi stammered, "Prince...Prince, you...you...why are you here too?"

"I... I don't know where I am." Xiao Mubei looked around the house again. He felt something, but it was hard to believe. "Is this... your home?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "Yes, this is my home." She suddenly became excited, holding Xiao Mubei's hand, and said happily: "Maybe the child brought you here, that's great, I have always wanted to take you home and let you meet my parents, I didn't expect it to actually come true."

Seeing that she was about to jump for joy, Xiao Mubei was also infected by her, and the panic about the unknown gradually dissipated. He looked around and asked, "Where are your parents... father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Chu Yunxi looked around and saw that it should be afternoon now. There was no one at home. Her parents should have gone out for a walk. They had been living a leisurely life since retirement. Every afternoon they would go to the nearby park to play chess and dance. Their days were very comfortable.

"They should have gone out to play and will be back soon. Come on, Your Highness, I will show you around my house." Chu Yunxi began to act like a tour guide, pulling Xiao Mubei and introducing the items in the house to him one by one. "This is the TV. You can watch TV series or watch national affairs without leaving home. People all over the country can know what the national leaders have done through TV. This is the refrigerator, which is divided into a refrigerator and a freezer, just like the function of an ice cellar. This is an electric rice cooker. By the way, everything here uses electricity, so there is no need to light an oil lamp. Look, this is an electric lamp, which is much brighter than an oil lamp. This is an electric rice cooker, an induction cooker, and here. This is my bedroom. Now it is another Chu Yunxi's bedroom. This is a computer. By the way, look at the head of the bed, there is another photo of you..."

Chu Yunxi's endless introduction left Xiao Mubei overwhelmed. Although he had heard half of these things from Chu Yunxi before, he was still shocked when he saw them with his own eyes. He didn't expect that the world would change like this after more than a thousand years. He picked up the photo on the bedside table and looked at himself in a suit. He felt that everything was like a dream.

Chu Yunxi saw him staring at the photo in a daze and said with a smile: "Do you think you look handsome in a suit?"

Xiao Mubei curled his lips, put the photo down, and touched Chu Yunxi's head, "As long as you think it's handsome."

"Of course he is handsome. My prince is the most handsome man in the world. I can never get enough of looking at him." Chu Yunxi rubbed Xiao Mubei's chin with her head, with a flattering smile on her face.

Xiao Mubei laughed, hugged Chu Yunxi in his arms, and sighed with satisfaction. No matter where he was, as long as Chu Yunxi was there, that was his home and his place of peace of mind.

The door outside rang, and Chu Yunxi hurriedly said to Xiao Mubei: "Be careful, they can't hear us talking, but they can see us bumping into things, don't scare my parents."

Xiao Mubei hummed softly, and the two of them walked out carefully. As expected, it was Chu's father and mother who came back. Chu's father was holding a birthday cake and was changing his shoes. After changing his shoes, Chu's mother took the cake and said, "Put it in the refrigerator first. I'll go prepare the food. Xiaobei will also come over in the evening, and we will celebrate Yunxi's birthday in a lively manner."

Chu Yunxi suddenly remembered that today was her birthday. Ever since she traveled through time, she had long forgotten about birthdays. In the past, on this day every year, her parents would cook a large table of dishes for her, buy a cake, light candles, and let her make a wish to celebrate her growing another year older. But now, she hasn't celebrated her birthday for two years.

"Your Highness, today is my birthday." Chu Yunxi murmured, took two steps forward, watched Mother Chu put the cake into the refrigerator, and said, "I haven't eaten birthday cake for a long time."

Xiao Mubei also took two steps forward and asked, "What is that?"

"Birthday cake is eaten by everyone here on their birthday. It means that the whole year will be perfect. There is cream on top and cake on the bottom. Fruits and jam can be placed in the middle. There is chocolate on the outside, and Happy Birthday is written on it. Before eating the cake, you need to light a candle and make a wish. It is said that all wishes made on this day will come true. It is very effective and the cake is also very delicious."

Seeing Chu Yunxi's infinite longing, Xiao Mubei was touched. He held her hand and said softly, "Happy birthday. I will celebrate your birthday when I go back today."

Chu Yunxi turned her head to look at Xiao Mubei, smiled gently, nodded, and said "hmm".

Chu's mother went to the kitchen to busy herself. Chu's father returned to the bedroom, sat in front of his large desk, put on his reading glasses and began to write. This was also his habit. While Chu's mother was cooking dinner, it was time for him to write in his diary.

Chu Yunxi gently pulled Xiao Mubei in, stood in front of the desk, and said to Xiao Mubei: "This is my dad. He is fifty-five years old this year. He used to be a high school teacher and retired not long ago."

Xiao Mubei knelt down respectfully and bowed, "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law."

Although Chu's father couldn't hear, Xiao Mubei's actions were not perfunctory at all. Chu Yunxi's eyes were a little moist, but she was extremely happy in her heart. It has always been a regret in her heart that her parents could not attend her wedding with Xiao Mubei. Now, although her parents still don't know about it, Xiao Mubei has seen them, so this regret is smaller.

Father Chu's pen suddenly stopped at this moment. He seemed to sense something and was in a trance, looking at the empty room in front of him. I don't know what he was thinking. Chu Yunxi said softly, "Dad, I brought my husband back to see you."

The corners of Chu's father's lips slowly raised to a smile. He nodded as if he was very pleased and said softly, "Okay, okay."

Chu Yunxi was startled. She almost thought her father heard what she said, but then he lowered his head to write in his diary again. She pulled Xiao Mubei to stand beside her father and saw him writing in his diary, "I suddenly felt surprisingly happy today. I seemed to feel Yunxi. She is doing well and very happy. I feel relieved."

Chu Yunxi's tears fell instantly. She understood that the Yunxi her father wrote about was her, and her father really felt her.

"Prince, my father can feel us." She cried and laughed, which made Xiao Mubei feel distressed.

"You can also communicate with your father-in-law by writing. Why don't you let him know you are here?"

The smile on Chu Yunxi's face slowly faded. She watched her father close the diary and go out to help her mother. Then she said, "Your Highness, the cruelest thing in this world is not losing something, but losing it again after regaining it. I would rather they never know about the soul swap and live happily with the company of their other daughter."
