CHAPTER 477: CHAPTER 477 DAD AND MOM

"The posture isn’t right, lift your right hand a bit higher..."

After dinner, Taozi kept pestering Shen Siyuan, saying she wanted him to teach her the real "Embrace the Wind and Sleep."

"There isn’t a fake Embrace the Wind and Sleep, what Ruan Ruan taught you is the real deal."

"But the feeling I get when I use it is completely different from the feeling she gets when she uses it."

"Is it possible that the problem isn’t with the cultivation technique, but with the person?" Shen Siyuan tried to say tactfully.

Then Taozi just punched him directly, and dragged him to the balcony, asking him to guide her.

To be fair, Taozi’s posture indeed has many flaws. It’s not that Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t teach her well, it’s because everyone has different understandings, so what they produce is naturally different.

And she’s not Tang Tang, Wang Ba Fist can achieve effects far beyond "Embrace the Wind and Sleep," but when first practicing, it’s best to keep each move as standard as possible.

"Spread your legs a bit more..."

Shen Siyuan said, directly nudging his knee between her legs.

Taozi’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she immediately became somewhat distracted.

Ruan Hongzhuang nearby made a sulky face, but she didn’t say anything.

But when she turned her head, she saw Dou Dou imitating her, rolling her eyes and making the same sulky expression.

Ruan Hongzhuang immediately grabbed her over and began pinching her chubby little cheeks.

If I can’t deal with your aunt, can I not deal with you?

"Don’t get distracted, focus." Shen Siyuan reminded.

Taozi hurriedly regained her composure, concentrating on her every move.

Just then, Shen Siyuan’s phone rang, and he quickly picked it up to answer.

Ever since he learned that his mom went to Spring City alone, he dared not keep his phone in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, mainly concerned about missing her call.

But this time it wasn’t his mom calling, it was his dad.

"Dad, what’s up?"

"Your mom hasn’t called me for four or five hours, could she be in trouble?" Dad said worriedly.

Shen Siyuan: ...

"If she doesn’t call you, can’t you call her? Besides, who let her go out alone anyway, you weren’t worried before?" Shen Siyuan said helplessly.

"I called her before, and she scolded me for disturbing her good mood. I wasn’t that worried before, but since you mentioned it, I’m starting to get a little anxious too."

"So now you’re blaming me?" Shen Siyuan pinched the bridge of his nose, what’s with this?

"Moreover, if she tells you not to call, you don’t call? Are you really that obedient?"

"You can’t say it like that, it’s mainly that there’s no need to affect her mood." Shen Jianjun said.

"Then what do you mean by calling me now?"

"You call her and ask about her situation." Shen Jianjun said.

"I’m really indebted to both of you." Shen Siyuan said with complete helplessness.

"Alright, don’t say it like that, aren’t you worried about your mom?"

"I’m not worried at all, hanging up."

"Okay, remember to get back to me." Shen Jianjun said hurriedly.

"Got it." Shen Siyuan said impatiently.

But Shen Jianjun didn’t mind at all and instructed: "Call her now, and send me a message once you’re done."

Shen Siyuan hung up the phone directly.

"What’s up?" Seeing Shen Siyuan’s expression of speechless confusion, Ruan Hongzhuang asked curiously.

Shen Siyuan briefly explained the situation to her.

Then both Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi laughed so much they were in stitches.

"What’s so funny about this?"

"You better hurry up and call, otherwise uncle might be worrying." Ruan Hongzhuang reminded.

"If he’s anxious, let him call her himself."

Though Shen Siyuan complained like this, he still called his mom, Huang Huijuan.

The call was quickly answered, and Huang Huijuan’s slightly excited voice was heard.

"Son, what’s the matter?"

"Can’t I call you when there’s nothing up..."

"Wait a minute, alright, your Aunt Jiang is calling me again, I’m not chatting anymore."

Before Shen Siyuan could finish speaking, she babbled a whole bunch by herself, then hung up with a click.

Shen Siyuan: ...

Seeing Shen Siyuan staring blankly at his phone, Ruan Hongzhuang walked over and asked: "What’s wrong?"

"These two, how can both of them be so unreliable?" Shen Siyuan wanted to argue back, but hesitated for a moment. She was happy now, probably wouldn’t talk to him in detail.

"I’ll better call my mom." Ruan Hongzhuang smiled and pulled out her phone.

"Yeah, call Aunt and ask about the situation." Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan’s eyes lit up.

"Actually, you don’t need to be too worried. Just now I saw my mom’s post on her social media, they just had dinner and are now shopping..." Ruan Hongzhuang explained.

Shen Siyuan quickly opened his WeChat upon hearing this.

He had Jiang Yingxue’s WeChat, so he could naturally see her posts. As expected, she posted a collage an hour ago.

Scenery, food, selfies, and friends.

The friends were naturally Huang Huijuan and an aunt Shen Siyuan hadn’t met before, probably another friend of his mom.

Seeing this, Shen Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent these photos to Shen Jianjun.

The scene of Ruan Hongzhuang chatting with Jiang Yingxue was much more harmonious, with gentle voices, and occasional soft laughs when they talked happily.

Shen Siyuan sighed, lowered his head, and saw Dou Dou looking up at him.

"What are you looking at?"

"Did you fight with your mom?"

"This is none of your business, kid."

"Why can’t kids care? If you made a mistake, you have to say sorry to her."

"Thanks for your concern, but I didn’t make a mistake." Shen Siyuan said rather speechlessly.

"If she made a mistake, even if she did, don’t shout at her, talk to her nicely, she’s grown-up, she’ll understand..." Dou Dou seriously advised Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan found it a bit laughable and exasperating to be educated by a little kid, but as he listened, he realized Dou Dou is truly a kind child. For someone so young to understand these things, it’s really not easy.

Actually, adults all understand these principles, but few can actually abide by them.

Humans are always influenced by emotions, which is a type of Heart Demon in itself.

"Okay, I understand, thank you for caring." Shen Siyuan reached out to pat her little head.

"Hehe, you’re welcome." Dou Dou was delighted to hear Shen Siyuan’s praise.

"Go and play with Duoduo and the others."

"I won’t play with her, I’m going to find Sister Xiao Yue."

Dou Dou was still holding a grudge, but despite what she said, her actions were honest as she turned and went indoors.

But as she passed the living room and saw Tang Tang grinning while watching cartoons, she immediately stopped and ran to sit beside Tang Tang, grinning while they watched together. Their silly appearance was quite amusing.

And for now, only three people were left on the balcony.

Just as Shen Siyuan was about to continue guiding Taozi, his phone rang again, it was Shen Jianjun calling, he couldn’t wait even for a moment.

Shen Siyuan handed the phone directly to Ruan Hongzhuang, who had finished her call, and let her talk to Dad to save the trouble of conveying messages.
