Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Li Yinyin was busy doing research with her sisters-in-law and had long forgotten about everything else, so when she heard that Mu Xianyun was outside the door and wanted to see her, her first reaction was: "What? Who said they want to see me?"

Fifth Sister-in-law was there that day and immediately remembered: "We were so busy from top to bottom that we completely forgot about his family."

"Yinyin, I bet Scholar Mu came because of his mother."

"Oh," Li Yinyin finally brought this up, "I was so busy, and he really knows how to find time to avoid me!"

Fifth Sister laughed: "Fine, if he doesn't want to see her, he doesn't want to see her. So what if he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar? He can't just see our Yin Yin whenever he wants."

Outside the Li residence, Mu Xianyun received the news and breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a capricious reply could only be attributed to Li Yinyin herself.

Mu Xianyun was actually quite tired, but he was afraid that things might get complicated if he didn't handle the matter properly. Knowing Li Yinyin's playful nature, he decided to wait for her outside the door.

When Xi Jiangyue saw Mu Xianyun from afar, she thought she was seeing things. But when she got closer, she realized that it really was her lover, standing outside the Li residence.

"Brother Yun," Xi Jiangyue said with a hint of resentment, "when did you return?"

Upon hearing the voice, Mu Xianyun's eyes flashed with annoyance, but he quickly regained his composure and looked at her wearily: "I just got home a little while ago, and I just had a sip of water before I came to apologize on behalf of my mother."

"Apologize?" Xi Jiangyue lived far away and was not well-informed. Upon hearing these two words, she quickly asked, "Auntie, what's wrong? Did you have an argument with someone?"

"Could it be..." she lowered her voice, "Yinyin?"

Mu Xianyun nodded, confirming her guess: "I offended Yinyin, and quite badly. I wanted to apologize, but she wouldn't let me in. I can only wait here and see if I'm lucky enough to bump into her leaving."

When Xi Jiangyue heard that he was going to wait there, she said, "You must be very bored by yourself. I'll keep you company."

The two waited from daylight until dusk, intending to return the next day, when they finally heard movement at the Li residence.

After Li Yinyin and the others finished up, they waited for Li Chengming to come back so he could see the finished product. Everyone went home happily, and Li Yinyin personally saw her sisters-in-law off.

Seeing so many women, Mu Xianyun quickly hid. After everyone had left and Li Yinyin was about to go back, he came out from behind the tree where he was hiding.

"Yinyin!"

Li Yinyin turned around and first saw Mu Xianyun, then she noticed Xi Jiangyue hiding behind the tree, seemingly not paying any attention.

"Hey, Scholar Mu hasn't left yet. Did he come all this way to wait for me?"

Mu Xianyun found her sarcastic little face extremely cute, and bowed deeply with a gentle expression: "I've come to apologize to you. My mother offended you, I'm sorry."

“Oh dear,” Li Yinyin stepped aside, “I dare not accept the courtesy from Scholar Mu. You are a scholar, and you are very precious. I dare not offend you. Otherwise, if your mother goes out one day and sees me taking the first step with my left foot, she will use her status to criticize me. I cannot tolerate that.”

This... seems even cuter.

Looking at Li Yinyin, who was as lively as a rabbit on the grassland, Mu Xianyun felt no anger at all; he just thought she was beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and wanted to look at her again.

“It’s my fault. When I get back, I will definitely talk to my mother properly and make sure she doesn’t bother you again.”

He tolerated all the beatings and scoldings, yet always seemed so gentle and kind, which made Li Yinyin unable to continue speaking.

Considering that Mu Xianyun was no longer the original, and that passing the imperial examination so easily would guarantee him a brighter future, Li Yinyin knew it would be unwise to offend him now. So she decided to stop while she was ahead.

She cleared her throat: "Alright then, I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time, I'll make sure to give my brother a good scolding, and no amount of apologies will help!"

Mu Xianyun was just replying when he heard a voice from the side.

"What do you want to complain to me about?"

"Brother, you're back!" Li Yinyin immediately left Mu Xianyun, ran to her brother, and took his arm. "Brother, did you bring back the snacks I asked for?"

"When have I ever forgotten what you wanted?" Seeing that his sister was unwilling to talk about it, Li Chengming knew that the matter was over for her, so he didn't press her for details. He led her past Mu Xianyun, nodded, and went straight into the house.

Almost immediately, the door to the Li residence closed in front of Mu Xianyun.

“Brother Yun,” Xi Jiangyue walked to his side, somewhat indignant, “How could they treat you like this?”

"After all, it was my mother who made the mistake," Mu Xianyun comforted Xi Jiangyue. "Little Yueyue, in a few days I will talk to my mother about proposing marriage to your family. You haven't reached the age of marriage yet, so how about we get engaged first?"

Xi Jiangyue felt as if she had been struck by a huge surprise, but she also felt uneasy: "Brother Yun, you are a scholar, and I am just a hunter's daughter. Will my aunt agree to this?"

Mu Xianyun was quite adamant about this: "It's me getting married, not my mother. Little Moon, I love you, and I want you to be my wife, so will you face this with me?"

Xi Jiangyue's face was full of joy, and tears seemed to be rolling in her eyes: "Okay, Brother Yun, I'll go with you."

"Little Moon, why don't you go back and give your parents a heads-up? Just wait a few more days, just a few more days," Mu Xianyun hugged her, his smile stiff but his tone extremely gentle, "I will definitely give you the best."

As Xi Jiangyue happily walked back, Mu Xianyun watched her retreating figure, suddenly sneered, and muttered, "Let me see, this time, will you be wholeheartedly with me, or will you be unable to walk past that person?"

If Li Yinyin knew what was happening outside, she would immediately be able to confirm that Mu Xianyun was reborn, rather than being possessed by someone else's soul.

Unfortunately, she was leading her older brother to see their research findings at that moment and missed this rare sight.

"Brother, do you think if a piece of fabric like this appeared in the Western Regions, wouldn't it immediately cause a sensation?"

“Definitely!” Li Chengming said decisively. “If such material can’t stir the hearts of the Western Region nobles, what can?”

His eyes were filled with amazement: "Yinyin, your brain is truly a treasure!"

“You’ve already praised me,” Li Yinyin said, not wanting to take all the credit. “Fifth Sister and the others also put in a lot of effort to make this piece of cloth.”

"I've already told them that when the time comes, you can find someone else to make a batch of this material, but you'll have to pay extra as a reward for their participation in the research and development."

"This money can't be too little, otherwise, where will they get the motivation to make more new products?"

"Here you go, we're all relatives, I'll double the amount as usual." This amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for Li Chengming, but it was a considerable fortune for Fifth Sister and the others. They would definitely work harder in the future to earn more.

Li Yinyin was satisfied that the promise could be fulfilled, but she was thinking about something else even more.

"Big brother, when are you going out to find someone to order materials? Can you take me with you?"

"I also want to see what the outside world is like!"
