Chapter 263 - Xiao Tian, Common Property

The sun peeked over the horizon, and the morning light opened the curtain of a new day.

After a while, the window lit up and a ray of sunlight shone over Ye Anping's closed eyes.

Ye Anping's eyelids fluttered slightly as he woke up. He opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of his room. Probably because he put a lot of effort into what happened yesterday, followed by the intense activity with his sister, he slept unusually soundly.

But then he felt a pressure as if there was a cat sitting on his chest, and he was a little short of breath.

His deep purple eyes slowly shifted toward his chest, only to see Xiao Tian lying on her belly on top of his quilt, squinting and looking at him with a playful smile.

Two small feet, the size of fingertips, swayed back and forth behind her.

"Anping, good morning~~ I see you are sleeping soundly. Were you tired yesterday? Hehe~~"

"..."

An ethereal, slightly reverberated voice reached his ears. Ye Anping gritted his teeth, slowly moved his eyes back to the ceiling, then held his breath and stood up from the bed.

Xiao Tian also hastily floated up from the quilt and circled around him before sitting on his shoulder.

"It's quite cold today. You should wear thicker clothes. A day's activity begins in the morning! What are you going to do now? Morning exercise? Or do you want to have breakfast? Hmm?"

What was this, a smart assistant?

Ye Anping still stared straight ahead, pretending not to see her.

Although he knew that he was already exposed, he really didn't want to act on it.

He felt that if he stopped ignoring her, this little thing could talk in his ear for a day without stopping.

Just like the parrot raised by Si Xuanji...

Si Xuanji kept a parrot mainly because she was an 'empty nest' old loli. Keeping a parrot relieved her boredom by talking to her and helped pass the time, easing her loneliness.

But he wasn't an old man; he didn't suffer from depression, nor was he a social recluse. Why would he need a little thing to make noise in his ears every day?

Ye Anping slipped his feet into his boots, then walked to the dresser and picked up a comb to tidy his hair.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tian was circling him left and right, inspecting him closely. "Anping, you have a white hair here~"

"..."

Then, she moved closer to his ear and took a look inside the ear canal. "Wow~ there is a big lump of earwax..."

"..."

Ye Anping's eyes twitched. He quickly finished combing his hair, walked to the full-length mirror in the room, and took out a set of clean clothes from the storage bag.

Ye Anping frowned at her. "Be serious!"

"Just kidding." Xiao Tian climbed onto Ye Anping's head and sat cross-legged, picking up his bangs and looking down. "Anping, isn't it the same whether I am with you or with Yu Die? If you can see me, then it means you and she both have the Mandate of Heaven, and you are connected by fate, so you two are a perfect match. And I am the common property of your young couple! Whether I record your name or hers is the same! It's just that I'll live in a different place."

"Yun Kunwu could also see you, so what does that say?"

"It says that he and you are also a perfect match." Xiao Tian tilted her head and smiled. "Although the 'Brokeback' theory is unconventional since he could see me, it means he was connected with us by fate."

"?"

"Fortunately, he is dead. The first time I saw him yesterday, I had goosebumps all over my body!" Xiao Tian shrugged slightly, then frowned. "But then again, his destiny was indeed a bit..."

"Yun Kunwu was favored by Heavens, but he was reborn in the wrong child." Ye Anping picked up the conversation and sighed. "If he were reborn in another family, he would not have that kind of character, but there is no ifs."

"Let's not talk about him. He's dead anyway."

Xiao Tian flew from the top of Ye Anping's head, floating in front of him, and bowed respectfully. "Yu Die is a little uncouth. I hope you will treat her well."

?

"I didn't agree."

"Didn't you agree yesterday?" Xiao Tian blinked and took out the Heavenly Dao Scroll, flipping the first page in front of him. "Look. Both of your names are written on it, so it's been approved by the Heavens!"

Ye Anping was taken aback, then squinted and saw that on the first page of the Heavenly Dao Scroll, next to the name "Ye Anping" written in elegant calligraphy, there was also the name "Feng Yu Die" in letters that looked like crawling ants. There were other two words, also written like insects crawling: "Marriage Certificate".

"Won't you incur heavenly punishment for scribbling on this book?"

"..." Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment, then hit her head. "Sigh~" She then quickly erased the two lines of "crawling ants."

Ye Anping sighed. "In a few days, after Feng Yu Die gets some rest, I will return you to her. Don't tell her that you changed owners and came to live with me. Otherwise, she will chase me with her sword, and I can't beat her."

"Oh~ I'll explain it. It'll be fine!"

"Did you hear what I said?!" Ye Anping frowned and said sternly.

"Uhm..."

"Why don't you answer?"

"Oh..." Xiao Tian pouted, aggrieved. "Then, I will live with you these days. Let me move in now."

"Don't even think about it."

Ye Anping rolled his eyes, turned around, and opened the belt of his pajamas. He took off his clothes, letting them fall on the ground, ready to change.

"Oh~" Xiao Tian quickly covered her eyes, peeking through her fingers. "Anping, you rascal~~"
