212 – The Family Has No More Secret

Lin Feng heard him speak in a well-organized and articulate manner, and felt that he was not a child of ordinary people. A little hope floated in his heart. He nodded, “Okay, I’ll come to check it at any time. Also, this is my business card.”

Lei Ruilin took the business card, put it into the sleeve pocket, and continued to eat the chicken drumstick. After eating two pairs of chicken wings and two hamburgers, Lei Ruilin was full. He thanked Lin Feng again, asked the staff in the restaurant to pack the rest of the food, and carried the package, “Golden Fur, let’s go.”

After leaving the restaurant, Lei Ruilin took out a chicken roll from the package and fed it to Golden Fur. Golden Fur’s dietary habit had already changed unknowingly; it ate the chicken roll with relish. It had gotten smaller, so its belly also had gotten smaller. It shook its head after eating another crispy chicken burger.

Lei Ruilin walked forward with it, unhurried.

Wang Lan came out of the restaurant and stared at his back for a while. She shook her head with a somewhat ridiculing look. Did she really believe that someone can cure asthma? She took her grandson’s hand and went in the opposite direction.

Seeing many children playing in the park, Lei Ruilin walked over with interest.

Chen Yue was a film director. As of late, he was going to shoot a big movie. One of the characters was an eight year old child. Although it was not the main character, it played a crucial role in the movie. For this reason, Chen Yue held a special audition. However, he was not satisfied with all the auditioners. For Chen Yue who pursued perfection, except for “corpse”, any role in the film including the extras who only needed to walk with their backs to the camera once couldn’t just be made do with. The reason why Chen Yue appeared in the park was to see if he could find the right person.

He seized the swing in the park, sat on it, and turned a blind eye to the reproach from several adults who brought the children to play in the park.

Right here, he saw a seven or eight year old child swinging around with the [gymnastic] rings. Effortlessly and smoothly, he turned upside down and flipped over in two rounds on the rings. His grin was full of dexterity. Next to him, there was a little golden animal jumping around happily.

Chen Yue just felt a flash in front of his eyes before he jumped off the swing and said excitedly, “It’s him!”

Lei Ruilin was having a good time when he heard a man standing behind him calling, “Kid.”

He glanced back and fell to the ground silently, looking curiously at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Chen Yue looked at the child’s ancient costume and thought to himself, which production team did the kid just come from?

“What’s your name, little one?”

Lei Ruilin turned his back and said, “Shouldn’t your Excellency introduce yourself before asking others?”

Chen Yue raised his eyebrows in amusement. “My name is Chen Yue.”

“This junior is Lei Ruilin.” Lei Ruilin asked, “What advice does Senior have?”

His temperament made the light in Chen Yue’s eyes more and more bright, “Little one, are you interested in shooting a film?”

Although Qin Mian had talked about many things in this world, Lei Ruilin didn’t know what it was to shoot a movie. He said perfunctorily, “You should talk to my Dad and Old Dad about this.”

“Dad and Old Dad?” There was a strange feeling in Chen Yue’s heart, but he didn’t think much about it. “Where are your Dad and Old Dad?”

Qin Mian and Lei Tie first caught their youngest son’s spiritual sense and appeared invisible in the corner. Qin Mian looked around and made sure that there was no electronic eye around. Then he looked at Lei Tie; his mind moved. He kissed the scar on Lei Tie’s face and put his right thumb on it. A soft white light flashed with it. When his thumb left, the scar on Lei Tie’s face disappeared. Qin Mian raised a touch of appreciation and pride in his eyes and gave him a thumbs up. “Handsome!”

Lei Tie’s lips curved slightly before he bowed and printed them on Qin Mian’s head.

The two showed up together, wearing the same clothes as before, but used illusion to mask them. In the eyes of outsiders, they were wearing normal casual clothes.

Seeing his youngest son’s back, Qin Mian called out in a raised voice, “Ruilin.”

The Golden Eagle flapped its wings and flew to Lei Ruilin.

Lei Ruilin turned his head in a pleasant surprise and rushed over like a small cannonball.

“Dad! Old Dad!”

Chen Yue looked up; there was a strong appreciation seen in his eyes. The two young men standing not far away were both Dragon and Phoenix¹ among the people. The man on the left was handsome with elegant demeanor; the man on the right was attractive with cold temperament. Tsk, no matter who these two people are, once they enter showbiz, they are bound to set off a storm in the entertainment industry.

Qin Mian spread out his arms, hugged his little son, and looked him up and down, “Son, did you get hurt?”

“No.” Lei Ruilin hugged him with a broad smile.

“Are you scared, being separated from us for so long?” Qin Mian asked again.

Lei Ruilin shook his head without hesitation. “No, I know that Dad and Old Dad will find me!”

“You’re truly awesome.” Qin Mian gave him a look of approval.

Lei Ruilin held his head high and looked proud.

“Dad, where’s my Gege?” Lei Ruilin was a little worried. “Gege and I were together at first, but we were separated later.”

“He’s fine. We’ll go to him now.” Qin Mian rubbed his head.

Chen Yue walked over.

Lei Tie looked at him indifferently.

Chen Yue had met all kinds of people, so he did not care and was very polite, “Hello. I’m Chen Yue, a film director. Ruilin is very suitable for a role in my film. I wonder if we can sit down and have a chat?”

“I’m sorry, we have an urgent business to deal with.” Qin Mian declined and took Lei Ruilin by the hand to leave.

Chen Yue quickly stopped him, “Wait. This is my calling card. I’m not a liar. I hope you can think about it seriously.”

Qin Mian thought about it and accepted the card. “We’ll think about it. Goodbye.”

Chen Yue regretfully watched them go farther and farther. He had an impulse to keep up with them, but rationally restrained himself and turned to leave.

Instead of taking any transportation, the three people and one bear flew directly to the neighboring city.

Qin Ruiqi was sleeping on the bench with White Spot squatting aside to guard him.

Seeing this scene, Qin Mian was both distressed and relieved.

Lei Tie quietly walked over and picked up his eldest son.

Smelling the familiar smell, Qin Ruiqi immediately opened his eyes. When he saw the person holding him, he smiled and clasped the person’s neck tightly, “Old Dad.”

“En.” After Lei Tie confirmed that his eldest son was not injured, he nodded to his wife.

“Dad, Ruilin.” Qin Ruiqi greeted his other father and younger brother and signaled his Old Dad to put him down.

Qin Mian hugged his eldest son, “Are you hungry?” While on the way, he had heard his youngest son talk about his experience in the restaurant, so his youngest son should not be hungry at the moment.

“No, I’ve eaten steamed buns.” Qin Ruiqi then told his story.

Qin Mian and Lei Tie looked at each other with a proud smile on their faces and in their eyes. Both sons did very well.

Qin Mian took his two sons by hand and said, “Let’s go and buy clothes first, and then have a good meal.”

Lei Ruilin asked with concern, “Dad, do you have money?”

Qin Mian laughed, “My son ah, don’t worry. Your Dad, I, have money no matter where I am.” He thought that the 200,000 yuan cash in the space could only be used as waste paper, but now it came in handy.

The family of four came to a large shopping mall. Qin Mian bought only one set of clothes for each of them and put them on directly; then, he bought four mobile phones for the family. Later, they went to the jade store and Qin Mian sold a piece of jade that was awarded by Emperor Xiaohui.

Qin Mian was not sure that they would ever return to Great Xia, so he planned to complete all the family’s documents, including household registration and ID cards.

Qin Mian was most familiar with S City. The family flew to S City first. Qin Mian used the means of Cultivation of Trueness to control the staff of the Household Registration Administrative Office to fix the household registration of the family of four. Qin Mian, Qin Ruilin, and Lei Ruilin were in the same household register. Lei Tie could only be aggrieved and had a separate household register.

After that, Qin Mian and Lei Tie went to apply for their ID cards.

After getting these certificates, the family was busy looking for a house. The house they liked was in the park community, consisting of a master bedroom, three secondary bedrooms, a dining room, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a sundry room, with a total of 200 square meters, 26000 yuan per square meter. In addition to buying furniture and a car, 6 million was spent.

It was the fifth day when life was completely settled. In these five days, Qin Mian never forgot to teach Lei Tie, Qin Ruiqi, and Lei Ruilin to learn modern knowledge and use modern tools and appliances, including transportation, communication, and household appliances. Lei Tie and his sons soon adapted to modern life.

Qin Mian pulled Lei Tie into the bedroom while his two sons were watching TV.

“A-Tie, let’s tell Ruiqi and Ruilin about the space.”

“Have decided?” Lei Tie asked.

Qin Mian nodded. “Now, Ruiqi and Ruilin have a profound understanding of the differences between different worlds. They must understand how serious the consequences will be if the mysterious existence of the space is exposed. I believe they can keep the secret.”

Lei Tie embraced Qin Mian’s shoulder and nodded, “Then tell them, and also tell them about Cultivation of Trueness.”

“Alright.” Qin Mian opened the door and beckoned to his two sons, “Sons, come here.”

Lei Tie went to the window and closed the curtains.

“Dad, what’s the matter?” Qin Ruiqi asked in puzzlement.

“Take you to a place.” Qin Mian held the elder son’s hand, while Lei Tie held the youngest son’s.

The next second, four people appeared in the space.

Learning of the existence of the space and the inside information of their birth, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were suddenly enlightened and all the previous questions had been answered.

The brothers soon figured out why the two fathers had concealed the space from them. With the principle of “one’s only crime was only to carry a jade”², they understood it all.

“Dad and Old Dad can rest assured that Didi and I will not tell anyone about the space.” Qin Ruiqi said.

Lei Ruilin repeatedly nodded, “This is our family’s secret.”

Lei Tie told them that the kungfu they usually practice was not the art of building one’s strength through internal organs, but Cultivation of Trueness.

Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin looked at the two fathers with admiration. It turned out that the two fathers were more amazing than they knew.

The two boys had a natural love for the space. Qin Mian and Lei Tie accompanied them to play in the space for three days.

Thanks for the treat and message, Tuc Tuc! I didn’t notice as I rarely check email.
