Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The setting sun shines through the window lattice, casting a peaceful atmosphere inside the house. However, this peaceful atmosphere is broken by a loud cry, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

"You're really promising. You beat the child as soon as you come back." Zhou Xiaobai heard his son crying and walked over from the kitchen.

Little Haichen was sitting on the ground, tears falling like beads from a broken string, his little face full of grievance. Zhou Xiaobai's heart was broken instantly, she quickly stepped forward and hugged her baby son tightly in her arms.

"Be good, dear son, don't cry."

Zhou Xiaobai's voice was gentle and firm. She gently stroked Xiao Haichen's head, trying to comfort his injured heart with motherly love. However, Xiao Haichen's crying became louder and louder, as if he wanted to pour out all his grievances.

"It's not my wife, I didn't hit him!" Zhong Yuemin's voice came from the side. He hurriedly explained, his face full of helplessness and grievance.

"You didn't hit him? Then why is he crying? I asked him to bring you an apple! How could you just hit him? Do you still look like a father?"

Zhong Yuemin scratched his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He explained, "Wife, I really didn't hit him. This child just loves to cry, it has nothing to do with me. He is not like me at all, and he has no future at all."

Zhou Xiaobai was even more furious after hearing this. She glared at Zhong Yuemin. "Who are you calling a loser? I'm telling you, Zhong Yuemin, my son will definitely be more successful than you in the future."

Zhong Yuemin was speechless and could only nod silently. "Wife, you are right. Your son will definitely be more successful than me in the future. Okay?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have picked you up." Zhou Xiaobai felt that his tone was a bit harsh.

Zhong Yuemin laughed. "Wife, don't I want to give you a surprise?"

Zhou Xiaobai rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. "I told you to take a shower, why did you do it so quickly? Did you wash yourself clean? Why are you just fooling around like a child? Go back in and take a proper shower."

Zhong Yuemin looked at her serious expression and couldn't help laughing. "Wife, I'm in a hurry to see you. Besides, I washed it very clean. If you don't believe me, just smell it."

Zhou Xiaobai laughed out loud at his words and patted him gently. "Stop messing around, go wash up, I'll rub your back for you."

Zhong Yuemin blinked mischievously. "Wife, I can't wash myself clean. Are you not letting me get in bed tonight?"

Zhou Xiaobai was a little embarrassed by his words and looked at her son in her arms. She quickly lowered her voice. "Don't talk nonsense, my son is still here."

Zhong Yuemin smiled indifferently. "He is so young and doesn't understand anything. Will you tell me? If you don't, I won't wash him."

Zhou Xiaobai shook her head helplessly. "Yes, yes, look at you, you are so messy all day." She pushed him gently, "Go and take a shower! Wait for me in the evening."

“Try to hit me!” Little Haichen in Zhou Xiaobai’s arms was a little scared at first, but when he saw his mother next to him, he immediately felt that he was fine again.

The little guy waved his small hands, as if he wanted to show Zhong Yuemin a warning, but he didn't expect that Zhong Yuemin, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, noticed his intention in advance.

Seeing this, Xiao Haichen quickly retracted his hand and buried his head in Zhou Xiaobai's arms with a wronged look on his face. Zhou Xiaobai gently stroked his son's head and comforted him softly, "Son, this is daddy, we can't hit daddy, understand?"

After hearing what his mother said, little Haichen was still somewhat unwilling and kept mumbling. At this time, Zhong Yuemin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that this little guy was really cunning.

"Little bastard, I have plenty of time to deal with you."

Zhou Xiao rolled his eyes at Zhong Yuemin and said unhappily, "Why are you competing with a child? If you have the guts, try to act like a father!"

Facing Zhou Xiaobai's accusation, Zhong Yuemin sighed helplessly. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he could only choose to admit his mistake. "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, that's all right..."

"Son, can you go find grandma?" Zhou Xiaobai put Xiao Haichen down and asked him to find Chen Yijun. She and Zhong Yuemin went into the bathroom together to rub Zhong Yuemin's back.

The sky gradually darkened, and the breeze gently blew through the window lattice, bringing a hint of coolness. In the bathroom, the mist was lingering, as if it were a fairyland. Zhou Xiaobai turned around and smiled at Zhong Yuemin, as if all the fatigue had disappeared at this moment.

Zhou Xiaobai, a middle-aged woman, still maintains her elegance and composure. Her eyes are deep and bright, as if she can see through people's hearts.

Zhou Xiaobai's smile is warm and charming, as if it can melt all the frost. Her temperament is like aged wine, which becomes more fragrant with time, making people fall in love with her and intoxicated by her.

"Yuemin, let me rub your back." Zhou Xiaobai's voice was soft and pleasant, like the sound of a clear spring in a mountain stream. She took the towel from Zhong Yuemin and gently wiped his back. The action was gentle and skillful, as if it had been repeated countless times.

Zhong Yuemin closed his eyes, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth. He felt the gentleness and warmth of Zhou Xiaobai's fingers, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that this was not just a simple back rub, but also a manifestation of the deep affection between them.

"Thank you, my wife." Zhong Yuemin's voice was a little choked up. He knew that he could not express his gratitude to Zhou Xiaobai in words. They had experienced too many ups and downs together, but no matter when and where, Zhou Xiaobai always silently supported him and gave him endless love and warmth.

"Yuemin, we are husband and wife, why should we be so polite." Zhou Xiaobai smiled and continued to wipe Zhong Yuemin's back. Her eyes were full of love and care, as if she wanted to pour all her tenderness on the man she loved deeply.

Zhong Yuemin's hands gently wandered over Zhou Xiaobai's smooth skin, as if trying to explore more unknown tenderness.

Zhou Xiaobai felt this sudden intimacy, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She gently slapped Zhong Yuemin's hand away and said in a serious tone, "Don't make trouble, I'm giving you a bath!"

A mischievous smile appeared on Zhong Yuemin's lips. He leaned close to Zhou Xiaobai's ear and whispered, "Wife, do you miss your husband?" His voice was a little teasing, but also contained a deep desire.

Zhou Xiaobai's heart was gently touched by this sudden love word, and she responded softly, "I thought about it." Although the voice was subtle, it was full of sincere emotion.

Zhong Yuemin didn't seem to hear clearly. He deliberately moved closer and asked in pretended confusion, "What? Wife, your voice is too soft. I didn't hear it." There was a cunning light in his eyes, as if he was enjoying this little game.

Zhou Xiaobai felt a little embarrassed by his sudden action, and she said coquettishly, "You're annoying! Always teasing me." There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, which made Zhong Yuemin's love for her even stronger.

Zhong Yuemin chuckled and stopped teasing Zhou Xiaobai. Instead, he asked seriously, "Wife, what do you think?" His voice was full of anticipation and tenderness.

Zhou Xiaobai sighed softly. She knew what Zhong Yuemin wanted, but at the moment they had more important things to do. She gently pushed Zhong Yuemin away and said seriously, "Don't move. It's night time, okay? Mom is waiting for dinner now!"

Although Zhong Yuemin was a little disappointed, he also understood Zhou Xiaobai's concerns. He nodded and gently hugged Zhou Xiaobai. "Wife, can you let me hug you for a while?" His voice was full of pleading.

Zhou Xiaobai did not refuse. She snuggled in Zhong Yuemin's arms, feeling this rare tranquility and warmth.

The mist in the bathroom gradually dissipated, revealing two figures clinging to each other. The moonlight shone through the window onto them, as if covering them with a layer of light.

After a while, Zhou Xiaobai gently broke free from Zhong Yuemin's arms. She picked up the towel next to her and gently wiped Zhong Yuemin's body, then changed him into clean clothes.

As soon as Zhong Yuemin arrived at the door of the living room, a faint scent of tea wafted into his nose, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Home is always the warmest harbor.

Zhong Yuemin walked into the living room and saw a pot of steaming tea quietly emitting white smoke on an antique tea table. There was also an exquisite teacup next to it, which was obviously prepared for him. He smiled slightly and sat down gently, preparing to enjoy this rare quiet time.

However, the tranquility was soon broken by a loud noise. His naughty child, Xiao Haichen, was seen rolling his eyes at him and jumping around in the living room with a ball.

There was a mischievous gleam in Xiao Haichen's eyes, and he was obviously deliberately provoking her.

"Brat, don't think I don't know what you are thinking." Zhong Yuemin muttered to himself, but he did not get angry. He just shook his head helplessly.

Zhong Yuemin was just about to lie down and rest for a while, but unexpectedly Xiao Haichen started another mischief. He threw the ball towards the window, and the ball hit the glass with a "snap" sound, then bounced back and flew towards Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin was quick to grab the ball. He glared at Xiao Haichen and was about to teach this naughty kid a lesson.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan walked in. Seeing this, Xiao Haichen quickly ran to the two of them and said with a wronged look on his face, "Grandpa, grandpa, that bad guy wants to beat me."

Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard this. Zhong Shanyue teased, "Hey! Zhong Yuemin, you've become more capable now. You just came back and wanted to beat my grandson."

Zhong Yuemin gave a helpless smile and defended himself, "Dad, don't listen to that brat's nonsense. I didn't even touch him. It's only been a few months. How did this brat become like this? He's so cunning now."

Zhou Zhennan also smiled and shook his head. "Yuemin, don't bother with the child. After all, he is still young and doesn't understand."

Zhong Shanyue laughed and interrupted, "Yuemin, you were naughty as a kid, right? I remember you often got into trouble when you were a kid, and I had to apologize on your behalf every time."

Zhong Yuemin smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He did remember his mischief as a child, but he didn't expect Zhong Shanyue to mention it at this time.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Dad, it's time to eat!" Xiao Shihua came over with her hands and feet dancing, her clear eyes flashing with a lively light that seemed to illuminate the entire night sky. Her voice was full of anticipation and joy, as if a home-cooked meal could also become a feast in her heart.

"Okay, let's eat." Zhong Yuemin's voice was low and magnetic, and he responded to his daughter's call with a smile.

Zhou Zhennan, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up with a kind smile on his face. "Okay, our little princess has spoken, so how can we not go to eat?"

Zhong Shanyue patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder with a smile. "Yuemin, look at your two children. They are so adorable."

Little Shihua came to Zhong Yuemin, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of his clothes, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear. She looked up at him, her eyes full of admiration and dependence. "Dad, is your brother naughty again? Don't worry, I will take care of him for you later." She vowed, her little face full of seriousness and determination.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help laughing. He gently scratched Xiao Shihua's nose and smiled dotingly, "Girl, you are really daddy's sweet little cotton-padded jacket."

Zhong Yuemin turned his head to look at Xiao Haichen, only to see the little guy hiding behind his grandfather, revealing a pair of big watery eyes, looking at them timidly.

Xiao Haichen seemed to feel Zhong Yuemin's gaze. He shrank his head and carefully stuck it out. "Sister, I didn't mean it." He defended in a low voice, with a bit of grievance and unwillingness in his voice.

Seeing this, Xiao Shihua was about to step forward and lecture him, but was picked up by Zhong Yuemin. "Okay, girl, let's go eat." He interrupted her with a smile and carried her to the dining table.

On the dining table, the lights were soft and the dishes were fragrant. Zhou Zhennan put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhong Yuemin opposite him with a smile, his eyes full of expectation. "Yuemin, did you encounter anything interesting when you went deep into the desert this time?"

Zhong Yuemin put down the bowl in his hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he shook his head and said slowly, "Dad, I didn't encounter any interesting things, but something did happen that I couldn't believe."

Zhong Shanyue, Chen Yijun and Zhou Xiaobai all came over curiously. They knew that Zhong Yuemin was always calm and steady, so something that could move him so much must be very important.

"Oh? Tell me quickly, what surprised you so much?" Zhou Zhennan's curiosity was also aroused.

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath, as if he was still recalling the thrilling scene. "I encountered a giant snake, a giant snake that has lived for who knows how many years. Its body is huge, and its scales are shining with a deep luster, as if it is a creature that came out of an ancient legend."

"Giant snake?" Zhou Xiaobai exclaimed. Although she had heard of all kinds of strange stories, such a huge snake still made her unbelievable.

"Yes, the giant snake."

Zhong Yuemin nodded and continued, "What shocked me even more was that this giant snake had a very high IQ. Its eyes revealed a cunning and wisdom, as if it could see through people's hearts. In the brief encounter with it, I deeply felt its wisdom and power."

"How is this possible?" Chen Yijun widened her eyes. She couldn't imagine that a snake could have such a high IQ.

"This is real."

"This is incredible." Zhong Shanyue exclaimed. "Such a magical creature actually exists in this world."

Zhou Zhennan also fell into deep thought. He realized that everything Zhong Yuemin said might be true. This world is full of unknowns and mysteries. Only by continuous exploration can more secrets be uncovered.

"Yuemin, this experience must be of great significance to you, right?" Zhou Zhennan asked.

Zhong Yuemin nodded, with a determined light in his eyes. "Yes, this experience has strengthened my determination to explore the unknown world. I believe that there are more miracles in this world waiting for me to discover."

The atmosphere at the dinner table became solemn because of Zhong Yuemin's words. Zhou Xiaobai frowned, his face full of worry. "Yuemin, you still want to go? Isn't that too dangerous? What if something happens, what do you want me to do?"

Zhong Yuemin looked at Zhou Xiaobai's worried face, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He held Zhou Xiaobai's hand and said gently, "My dear, don't worry. I won't joke with my life. I have experience and preparation, and I will protect myself."

"But...but..." Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was choked with sobs. "Yuemin, can you not go? I don't want you to take such a risk."

Zhong Yuemin gently stroked Zhou Xiaobai's hair, his eyes flashing with determination. "Wife, I know you are worried about me. But you know what? I love adventure and I like to challenge the unknown. The giant snake I encountered this time shocked me, but it also made me more fascinated by the wonders of this world. I feel that this kind of life is very interesting and exciting. I like this kind of life."

Zhong Shanyue smiled and comforted Zhou Xiaobai. "Xiaobai! Don't worry. Don't you know him after all these years? He is always very enthusiastic about everything."

Zhou Xiaobai thought about it and it was true. No matter what he did, Zhong Yuemin never seemed to stay at it for long.

Zhong Shanyue said to Zhong Yuemin, "Yuemin, we can start what we talked about last year."

Zhong Yuemin looked at his father blankly, totally confused. "Dad, what on earth are you talking about?" He scratched his head and muttered to himself, could it be that he has been too busy recently and forgot something important?

Zhong Shanyue was so angry that he almost jumped up. He stood up suddenly, pointed his finger at Zhong Yuemin with trembling hands, and asked angrily, "You little bastard, have you really forgotten about that?" His voice was a little hoarse because of anger.

Zhong Yuemin was startled by his father's sudden anger. He nervously glanced at Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen beside him, only to see the two children staring at him curiously.

Zhong Yuemin felt embarrassed for a moment, and quickly said with a smile, "Dad, don't be angry yet! Why don't you remind me, maybe I will remember it."

"Have you forgotten about going north?"

"Oh my! My dear father, you scared me to death. I thought it was nothing. How can this be called a big deal?"

Zhong Shanyue was furious when he heard this. If he hadn't seen his grandson, granddaughter, and daughter-in-law here, he would have beaten him with a broom.
