Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhou Zhennan stood in the bright sunshine, his eyes flashing with unconcealable anticipation and excitement. His bright pupils were like burning flames that could not be ignored.

Zhou Zhennan's eyes were fixed on Zhong Yuemin in front of him, as if he wanted to see through every corner of his heart through his appearance.

"Yuemin, you... succeeded?" Zhou Zhennan's voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying to restrain his inner excitement, and at the same time seemed to be carefully confirming a fact he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, but did not answer immediately. He turned to look at Zhou Xiaobai standing beside him, and saw the same light flashing in her eyes, which seemed to contain countless secrets, making people want to find out.

Zhou Xiaobai pursed her lips gently and asked calmly, "Dad, don't you see that I'm different from before?"

When Zhou Zhennan and Zhong Shanyue heard this, they simultaneously focused their attention on Zhou Xiaobai. They looked at her carefully, trying to find out the changes in her. Gradually, they showed surprise on their faces.

Zhou Xiaobai's skin became more delicate and smooth, like white jade, emitting a faint luster, as if water could be squeezed out; her temperament also changed drastically, becoming more elegant and refined, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. Her every frown and smile revealed an indescribable charm that made people fall for her.

The two looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other's eyes. They could never have imagined that Zhou Xiaobai in front of them had undergone such a huge change.

This change is not only reflected in her appearance, but also in her whole spirit. At this moment, Zhou Xiaobai is like a blooming flower, exuding a charming fragrance that makes people intoxicated.

"It seems to be a little different!" Zhong Shanyue said with emotion.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin knew that his father had noticed some changes, so he stopped joking. He carefully took out an ancient and solemn porcelain bottle from his pocket, holding it gently as if he was holding a rare treasure.

Then, he slowly opened the bottle cap, and instantly, a light and fresh fragrance spread out, as if making people feel the tranquility and beauty of nature.

Then, Zhong Yuemin poured out three pills skillfully. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but it felt like each pill seemed to be shining with divine light.

Zhong Yuemin handed the pills to Zhou Zhennan, Zhong Shanyue and Chen Yijun respectively, his eyes revealing an indescribable pride and expectation.

After Zhong Shanyue received the pill, he couldn't wait to take it in front of his eyes and examine it carefully. He saw that the pill was an intoxicating golden color, crystal clear like a pure gem, emitting a faint but charming glow.

Zhong Shanyue put his nose close to it and took a deep breath. The refreshing fragrance was like a clear spring, going straight into his nasal cavity, making him feel refreshed. He couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart that this elixir was indeed extraordinary.

However, Zhong Shanyue still said disapprovingly, "I don't see anything different. Is it really as magical as you say?"

Despite this, he held the pill tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid that it would disappear if he let go.

When Zhong Yuemin heard what his father said, he felt speechless and couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Dad, if you don't want this thing, then give it back to me." He deliberately put on an unhappy look, as if he was very dissatisfied with his father's behavior.

However, Zhong Shanyue didn't take his son's words to heart at all. He glared at Zhong Yuemin and said firmly, "You want to take back what's in my hands? You wish! It's impossible!"

After saying that, Zhong Shanyue threw the pill in his hand into his mouth without hesitation. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it immediately melted and turned into a warm torrent, quickly flowing to Zhong Shanyue's limbs and bones. He felt warm all over his body, as if he was immersed in a comfortable hot spring. The feeling was wonderful.

Zhong Shanyue felt a warm current blowing through his body like a spring breeze, as if every cell in his body was cheering.

Zhong Shanyue closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body. He was surprised to find that his originally stiff joints had become unusually flexible, as if they had been injected with vitality again.

What was even more surprising was that the back pain and knee pain that had plagued him for years seemed to be gradually alleviating, and the indescribable feeling of comfort made him almost cry out.

"Yuemin, this... this medicine..." Zhong Shanyue's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhong Yuemin in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly. Everything that happened before his eyes was too incredible and beyond his cognition.

Zhou Zhennan saw this scene and couldn't help but feel curious. He carefully picked up a pill and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

Instantly, the same surprised expression as Zhong Shanyue appeared on his face. He felt as if he had returned to his youth, full of endless energy, as if time had gone backwards.

Chen Yijun stood aside, watching the changes in the two people, stunned. She was tangled in her heart, but finally made up her mind and gently put the pill into her mouth.

The pill melted quickly as it entered her throat, turning into a cool breath that flowed down her throat and instantly spread throughout her body. She felt refreshed, as if all her fatigue and troubles had disappeared at this moment.

Zhong Yuemin watched their changes and was secretly pleased with himself. He had actually expected such a result a long time ago. He had spent countless efforts to refine this elixir, so its effect was naturally extraordinary.

"What do you think? Did I not lie to you?" Zhong Yuemin asked proudly.

"Yuemin, your medicine is amazing!" Zhong Shanyue exclaimed. "Where did you get it from?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled mysteriously. "This is my secret medicine. Ordinary people can't get it."

After a while, the three people felt the changes in their bodies, and they felt extremely relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. This wonderful feeling amazed them, and they were filled with awe for this magical medicine.

Chen Yijun suddenly opened his mouth and yawned loudly. His eyelids drooped weakly as if they were weighed down by a heavy burden, and his voice was full of fatigue. "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zhennan also rubbed his eyes. A strong sense of sleepiness surged into his heart like a tide. He murmured to himself, "Me too..."

Zhong Shanyue was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a strong sense of sleepiness, as if an invisible hand was grasping his thoughts tightly, making him unable to resist. He sighed helplessly. "Hey, how come I am the same as you?"

As soon as the three finished their words, their bodies began to shake uncontrollably, as if they could fall to the ground at any time. Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin immediately flashed forward like an arrow from a bow, and steadily supported Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan. At the same time, Zhou Xiaobai also reacted quickly and hurriedly reached out to support Chen Yijun.

"How could this happen?" Zhou Xiaobai supported Chen Yijun with difficulty while glaring at Zhong Yuemin with dissatisfaction, and said angrily, "Yuemin, you are such a jerk! Can't you wait until mom and dad come into the room and sit down before giving them the medicine? Look at them now, what if they accidentally fall?" There was a hint of complaint and worry in her tone.

Zhong Yuemin's face was full of innocence, and his voice was filled with grievance. "Wife, I really didn't know things would turn out like this! My head is a mess now, and I have no idea what this pill is all about..."

"Okay, there's no point in talking about this now." Zhou Xiaobai decisively interrupted Zhong Yuemin's words. "Let's quickly help our parents into the house and let them lie down on the bed to rest."

"Oh, oh, okay." Zhong Yuemin nodded hurriedly, and together with Zhou Xiaobai, he carefully helped the three elderly people into the room.

After entering the house, Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai worked together to first carefully place Zhou Zhennan on a bed, and then did the same to place Chen Yijun on another bed.

As for Zhong Shanyue, they arranged for him to rest on the sofa in the living room. After everything was arranged, Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai looked at each other at the same time, and their eyes revealed deep worry and strong doubts.

"This pill..." Zhong Yuemin muttered to himself while scratching his hair subconsciously. "Logically speaking, it shouldn't cause any adverse reactions or side effects."

"Yeah, I think it's weird too." Zhou Xiaobai also frowned and responded thoughtfully. "But judging from my parents' current state, they don't seem to be feeling unwell. They just want to fall asleep."

"Should we wake them up?" Zhong Yuemin asked tentatively.

"Let's not go for now." Zhou Xiaobai shook his head. "Since they are not feeling well now, let them get some sleep. We will stay here and see what happens."

Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai sat on the sofa in the living room, occasionally looking at Zhong Shanyue, Zhou Zhennan and Chen Yijun who were lying quietly on the bed.

Time flowed quietly like a silent river, and before they knew it, it was already noon. However, the three men were still sleeping, as if they were shrouded by a mysterious force.

"Mom, my brother and I are so hungry." Xiao Shihua's gentle voice was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking the silence in the living room. She held Xiao Haichen's hand tightly, and her tender face was shining with the innocence and expectation unique to children.

Zhou Xiaobai turned around and looked at the two children. She felt guilty. She stood up slowly, walked to the children, and gently stroked their heads. "My dears, I'm sorry. Mommy is not in the mood to cook now." Her voice revealed a trace of fatigue and helplessness.

Then, she turned to look at Zhong Yuemin and said softly, "Yuemin, why don't you take your son and daughter out to eat something? I'll stay here to look after my parents."

"Okay, my dear, don't worry too much. There shouldn't be any big problem." Although Zhong Yuemin said this to comfort her, his eyes could not hide the deep worry.

After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and it also involved his own and Zhou Xiaobai's parents, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little overwhelmed.

Zhong Yuemin then turned to face the children and asked gently, "Shihua, Haichen, would you like to go out for dinner with Dad?"

Xiao Shihua nodded sensibly, took her brother's hand and walked towards Zhong Yuemin. Zhong Yuemin smiled and took the hands of the two children, ready to take them out.

"Yuemin, remember to buy the children some of their favorite food." Zhou Xiaobai reminded.

"Don't worry, wife." Zhong Yuemin responded and left home with the children.

Zhou Xiaobai sat back on the sofa and looked at the three people on the bed again. She was full of doubts and uneasiness. What kind of mysterious power did this elixir have? Why did it make her parents sleep for so long? She decided to ask them clearly after they woke up.

Zhong Yuemin brought his two precious children, Xiao Haichen and Xiao Shihua, to the yard. The sunlight shone on them, warm and bright.

Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile, "Are you two riding a bicycle or a motorcycle?"

The two children answered almost at the same time. "Motorcycle!" Their voices were full of anticipation and excitement.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhong Yuemin looked at the two children lovingly, and then asked, "What do you two want to eat?"

Xiao Shihua's big eyes rolled around, as if she was thinking about something delicious, and then she said, "Dad, how about we go to Grandpa Gao's place to eat? I haven't been there for a long time, and I miss it a little bit."

Zhong Yuemin smiled after hearing this. He gently scratched Xiao Shihua's nose. "You are a little foodie. You are so enthusiastic when it comes to eating. Okay, then let's go to Grandpa Gao's place to eat."

Little Haichen also jumped up happily. He has always liked the dishes cooked by Grandpa Gao. The taste of the dishes always makes him linger in his memory.

Just as Zhong Yuemin pushed out the motorcycle and prepared to take the children to Zui Xiang Lou for dinner, Liu Jiajia and Dong Huizhen came over.

"Brother Zhong, where are you going? We'll follow you." Liu Jiajia asked.

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand. "No need to follow me. You guys stay at home and see if my wife has any instructions later."

"Okay, Brother Zhong." Liu Jiajia and Dong Huizhen answered at the same time, and then returned to the house.

Zhong Yuemin turned around, picked up Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen, placed them in front of the motorcycle seat, adjusted their position to make sure they were sitting steadily.

"Are you seated? Sit down, we are about to set off."

"Dad, we're seated!" the two children answered excitedly.

Zhong Yuemin nodded with satisfaction, then started the engine. The motorcycle made a "beep" sound, and then drove steadily out of the yard and headed towards Zui Xiang Lou.

The sun shines on Zhong Yuemin and the children, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness. The motorcycle speeds along the road, leaving behind a string of laughter and joy. The two children sit in the front excitedly, with happy smiles on their little faces, and Zhong Yuemin also feels unprecedented ease and happiness.

In Zui Xiang Lou, antique decorations and wafting fragrance interweave to create a unique atmosphere. Stepping into it, it feels like traveling back to ancient times, which is intoxicating.

Zhong Yuemin sat in front of the table, which was filled with a wide variety of delicacies, emitting tempting aromas.

The first thing that caught my eye was a plate of tempting braised fish, with the tender fish meat wrapped in a rich sauce, making one salivate;

Next is the steaming hot Dongpo pork, which is fat and lean, melts in your mouth, and is fat but not greasy; then there is the braised pork, which is bright red and exudes fragrance;

The sweet and sour spareribs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a moderate sweetness and sourness, which makes people have endless aftertaste; the auspicious four-happiness meatballs are round and plump, symbolizing reunion and beauty;

The golden and crispy beggar's chicken has crispy skin, tender meat and a fragrant aroma; finally, there is a bowl of delicious and fragrant soup with a rich broth and rich nutrition.

The two little guys, Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen, couldn't wait to start eating. Their eyes were shining, and their little hands were tightly holding the chopsticks, not hiding their desire for delicious food.

Xiaoshi smiled as she carefully picked up a piece of fish, put it into her mouth and savored it carefully, then showed a satisfied expression.

Xiao Haichen seemed even more eager. Since he was not very skilled in using chopsticks, he simply threw away the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of braised pork with his hands and put it into his mouth. Seeing the children wolfing down the food, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Zhong Yuemin's heart was filled with warmth and happiness. He quietly watched the children enjoying the food and felt the warmth of the family.

In this noisy world, this moment of tranquility and family affection is precious to him. He hopes that time can stay at this moment forever and let this happiness continue forever.

If Zhou Xiaobai was here and saw the two children behaving so rudely and rudely while dining, Zhong Yuemin would probably be severely rebuked and criticized.

However, Zhou Xiaobai was not present at this moment, so Zhong Yuemin allowed the children to release their innocent nature without restraint.

While Zhong Yuemin was serving food to the children, he was savoring the delicacies on the table with relish, thinking to himself, "Why is this old man Gao so extravagant today? Could it be that he encountered some happy event?"

He knew very well that although Old Gao was an excellent cook, the dishes he prepared were mostly economical and practical, and he seldom lavishly filled the table with such delicacies.

As the saying goes, Speak of the devil and he will appear. Gao Songshan led a young woman into the house. He first asked Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen, "Kids, what do you think of today's meal?"

The two little guys held food in their mouths and responded incoherently, "Delicious...

Gao Songshan then turned to look at Zhong Yuemin, who had been concentrating on sipping tea with his head lowered, and introduced him. "Yuemin, this is my daughter Gao Yue."

Zhong Yuemin heard this and the tea in his mouth suddenly gushed out. He asked in astonishment, "Who?"
