The next morning, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and sprinkled into every corner of the room, bringing warmth and hope for the day.

Li Zimo woke up slowly from his sleep, feeling the warmth of Xu Qinglan beside him, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

He turned his head slightly and saw Huang Wanrong standing by the bed, smiling and looking at him gently.

Li Zimo responded to Huang Wanrong's gaze with a smile, then gently played with Xu Qinglan's scattered hair with his fingertips, his movements gentle and full of love.

Xu Qinglan was awakened by this subtle movement. She opened her eyes lazily, her newly awakened eyes still hazy and sleepy. She said vaguely:

"Sister Rong, stop making trouble."

But when she saw that it was Li Zimo, a blush instantly appeared on her face, and a mixture of surprise and shyness reminded her of the intimacy and passion of last night.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Huang Wanrong was also present, which made her even more embarrassed.

She hurriedly turned her head and looked at Huang Wanrong beside the bed. Her face was as red as a ripe apple. She said softly:

"Sister Rong, you, you're back." The voice contained both joy for Huang Wanrong's return and embarrassment and shyness of having her secrets revealed.

Huang Wanrong saw this and couldn't help but joked:

"Sister Lan'er, you still know how to be shy. You screamed so loudly yesterday that you woke me up upstairs."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, but they also revealed her blessings and kindness to the two of them.

Xu Qinglan felt even more ashamed when she heard this. She quickly covered her cheeks and said anxiously:

"Oh... Sister Rong, you... why are you like this... you have no shame..."

Her voice was full of coquettishness and helplessness, but she did not dare to look directly into Huang Wanrong's eyes.

Finally, she couldn't stand the shyness any more, so she turned around and hugged Li Zimo's waist tightly, burying her head in his arms, as if only in this way could she find a little comfort and shelter.

She lay there shyly, no longer wanting to face the embarrassing scene before her. She only wished that time could stop at this moment so that she could be immersed in this happiness and sweetness forever.

Huang Wanrong continued to joke:

"I don't know who is shameless. The sun is already shining on her butt, but she is still hiding in the young master's arms and doesn't know how to get up."

"Humph, I won't get up."

Xu Qinglan said this with a desperate tone, her voice tinged with stubbornness and sweetness.

She snuggled tightly in Li Zimo's arms, feeling the warmth and security, as if the whole world had stopped and only the two of them were left.

"Who made the young master's embrace so warm? Come and embrace me if you can."

There was a hint of teasing in her words, as well as a hint of showing off her happiness at the moment.

Huang Wanrong couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

She said gently,

"Hurry up and get up. It's getting late and we still have things to do."

Under Huang Wanrong's persuasion, Xu Qinglan finally raised her head slowly, but the blush on her face still did not fade.

She looked at Huang Wanrong shyly, then at Li Zimo, and finally left Li Zimo's arms reluctantly.

The three of them smiled at each other, and the warmth and sweetness flowed between them, as if even the air became sweet.

After the two of them put on their clothes, Li Zimo took out several copies of the jade slips of the middle-grade earth-level skills "Frost Condensation Skill" and "Harmony Twin Skill" from his storage ring and handed them to them solemnly.

Let them use it to practice martial arts with the girls of the Yue family, and then use the spirit stones in the account to improve their strength as soon as possible.

Then he mastered the "Harmony of Twins" well, and he also wanted to try the dual cultivation effect of the "Harmony of Twins".

Huang Wanrong and Xu Qinglan took over the skills, and felt endless emotion and excitement in their hearts.

Tears welled up in their eyes. They knew very well what these skills meant to practitioners, and they understood even more the deep affection and trust behind Li Zimo's actions.

They held the technique tightly, nodded heavily, their voices filled with determination and gratitude:

"Thank you, sir. We will definitely work hard to cultivate and live up to your expectations."

Li Zimo smiled and nodded, watching them turn around and leave with love and gratitude.

Afterwards, he composed himself and turned to head towards the courtyard where Xie Xiran lived.

In the corner of the courtyard, under a big tree, Xie Xiran was sitting quietly, holding a cup of tea in her hand, gentle and peaceful, like a fairy walking out of a painting.

Li Zimo walked over gently, picked her up gently, and let her sit on his lap.

Xie Xiran was startled by this sudden action and blushed slightly. She asked shyly:

"Why is the young master here?"

Li Zimo looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness and longing, and said softly:

"miss you."

This sentence was simple and direct, but it made Xie Xiran feel warm in his heart.

She lowered her head and chuckled, deliberately teasing him:

"I don't believe it."

Li Zimo didn't get angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and asked:

"What about you? Did you miss me?"

Xie Xiran's cheeks flushed even more when he asked her this. She lowered her head shyly and answered softly:

"Think about it."

Although the voice is small, it is clearly audible and full of sincerity.

Li Zimo looked at Xie Xiran's shy look, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He deliberately prolonged his tone and continued to tease:

"Oh? Really? Then can I understand that you're beginning to miss the time we spent together and are starting to get used to it?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Xiran's cheeks instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She gently pounded Li Zimo's chest, her eyes flashing with shyness and sweetness, and scolded:

"Sir, you are so mean! I clearly said I missed you, how could you misinterpret my meaning like this?"

Her tone was full of coquettishness, but more of it was her dependence and love for Li Zimo.

Seeing this, Li Zimo stopped teasing her and hugged her tighter, saying gently:

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, I miss you too. Every time I think of you, my heart is filled with warmth and happiness."

Xie Xiran listened to Li Zimo's words, feeling touched and sweet in her heart.

She looked up at Li Zimo, a gentle light flashing in her eyes, and said softly:

"Me too, sir. When the night is quiet, I will think of the little moments we spent together. Those times are more precious to me than anything else."

Li Zimo saw the tenderness and shyness intertwined in Xie Xiran's eyes, and couldn't help but want to tease her. He raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth and whispered:

"Xiran, in the dead of night, bit by bit, you still say you are not addicted to taste? I think you are thinking about it."

Xie Xiran's cheeks flushed red upon hearing this. She covered her face in embarrassment, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes.

"Master, you...you're teasing me again. I was just speaking my mind, how could you misinterpret my meaning like this? And you're even trying to trick me into believing it. You're so mean. I...I'm ignoring you."

As she spoke, she turned her head slightly, pouted her lips, and glared at Li Zimo in pretended anger, but her eyes were full of coquettishness and dependence.
