Inheritance was important, and what she feared most was that the Witch Clan would cease to exist.
Chu Yang nodded solemnly, "Okay."
The old woman suddenly looked at Chi Yan, "Is he your boyfriend or who?"
Chu Yang: "My boyfriend. His English name is Yan, and my English name is Yang."
The old woman nodded, "You can call me Sophia, your names are quite similar." Then she said to Chi Yan: "Give me your hand."
Chu Yang heard that Chi Yan and her names did sound similar, both being CY.
And Chi Yan hesitated, looking at Chu Yang, and when Chu Yang nodded, he immediately held out his hand. Sophia held his hand, and after a while, she let go and whispered to Chu Yang: "Why haven't you made your move yet?"
Chu Yang: ?
Sophia: "This man suits you well, you can make your move early, it will also benefit you."
Chu Yang understood and blushed a little, waving her hand, "We're still young."
Sophia looked at their youthful faces, "How old are you?"
Chu Yang: "Nineteen."
Chi Yan was the same age, and he didn't quite hear what they were saying.
Sophia nodded, looking at Chu Yang: "Not too young, you can do it."
Chu Yang: ??? No, she thought they were still young.
Sophia: "It's better to make your move early."
Chi Yan looked at Chu Yang and then at Sophia, whispering to Chu Yang: "What does 'make your move early' mean?"
Chu Yang ignored him, but Sophia looked at him, "You have an aura of nobility, but sometimes you may encounter life-threatening situations, but fortunately, you have him." The last part was said to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang thought that after meeting Chi Yan, he had indeed encountered some incidents, such as the bus incident at the beginning, then the hotel fire, and the recent kidnapping incident... He had been a little unlucky.
Chi Yan heard clearly, holding Chu Yang's hand and nodding with a smile, "Yes, thanks to Yang." So he had nothing to repay her, and he gave himself to her.
After that, Sophia talked to Chu Yang about some things related to the Witch Clan. This village had indeed been the residence of the Witch Clan a long, long time ago, but with the passage of time, wars, diseases, and natural disasters, the Witch Clan gradually declined until only she remained.
She had originally thought that after she passed away, the Witch Clan would no longer exist in this world, but little did she expect that hope had arrived. She suddenly remembered when she went to the witch statue before, when she asked about the future of the Witch Clan, the statue's gaze had turned towards the East at that time.
She didn't understand it then, but now she finally understood.
Sophia was knowledgeable and could answer many of Chu Yang's questions about witchcraft, which was very beneficial for Chu Yang.
That night, Sophia invited them to stay and even deliberately arranged for them to stay in the same room. Chu Yang thought about Sophia telling her to make her move early, looked at her blushing face in the mirror.
Chi Yan didn't know and asked her what was wrong.
Of course, Chu Yang wouldn't say, "Nothing, just a little hot."
Chi Yan felt the cool breeze coming through the window and couldn't figure it out. Hot?
At night, after taking a shower, Chu Yang stood on the balcony, looking into the distance. Most places in the distance were pitch black, with only one or two streetlights emitting a yellowish glow, and moths would occasionally flutter around the lights.
Every now and then, she could hear bird calls coming from the darkness, with the crows' voices being the most distinct.
When Chi Yan came out of the bathroom, he saw Chu Yang standing on the balcony, the breeze blowing her waist-length hair. Chi Yan's heart softened, and he walked behind her, hugging her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and kissing her chin. Then the two of them stood there quietly, feeling the cool breeze.
Suddenly, a creature flew in from the distance, cawing twice.
It was a crow, and Chu Yang could clearly recognize it as the lead crow from the witch statue earlier that day. The crow flew to the railing of Chu Yang's balcony, turning its small eyes to look at her.
Chi Yan was already used to the crows welcoming his Yang, and he wasn't afraid.
Chu Yang reached out and stroked its head, then told Chi Yan: "We brought some bread, didn't we? Bring it over."
Chi Yan hurried back into the room and brought out a small piece of bread, and then Chu Yang tore off a small piece and placed it in her palm to feed the crow.
After the crow had eaten its fill, it even took the remaining bread in its beak and flew away, as if to take it back and share it with someone.
Chu Yang watched it leave, and after it was out of sight, she checked the time and felt it was getting late, so she pulled Chi Yan back into the room to sleep.
Of course, there would be no "making a move," and even if they were to "make a move," it wouldn't be here. But before going to sleep, the clingy Chi Yan wouldn't let the opportunity for kisses pass, and it wasn't until after a good tussle that they finally settled down to sleep.
After they fell asleep, the whole house was plunged into darkness, and in the middle of the night, many crows flew over and landed in various corners outside the house, a large flock of crows, occasionally cawing, but the sleeping people didn't hear a sound.
As the first rays of dawn appeared in the distance, the flocks of crows flew towards the pitch-black forest, and the house was just an ordinary house.
Sunlight streamed through the window into the bedroom, and Chu Yang used her hand to shield the light as she opened her eyes. Next to her, Chi Yan was still sleeping soundly, one foot resting on her feet and one hand clutching hers.
Chu Yang sat up, withdrew her hand, and seeing the time, felt it was time to get up.
She went to freshen up and change clothes before leaving the bedroom and going downstairs. In the kitchen, Sophia was already preparing breakfast.
Chu Yang hurried to help, "Sorry, I woke up late, we should have prepared breakfast."
Sophia didn't mind, "Children should sleep more. You go sit down, I'm almost done."
Breakfast was just simple milk and bread, not very laborious. When Chi Yan woke up and didn't see Chu Yang, he hurriedly got up and came downstairs to see the two ladies already eating breakfast, smiling and chatting about something.
Chi Yan walked over and sat down, a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I'm late."
It wasn't that late, only 8 o'clock.
Sophia looked him over, then said to Chu Yang: "If you were drained last night, you'd have to wake up later."
Chu Yang's face turned bright red, "No... no move was made."
Chi Yan: ?
Sophia thought it was a pity, "The young man looks decent, it must have been hard for you to hold back."
Chu Yang could only smile and not say anything, the old woman was too open.
Chi Yan understood, glanced at Chu Yang, his ears turning red, not daring to speak, and lowered his head to eat breakfast. Of course, he wanted to be drained, but he also felt that his Yang was still young, so he didn't dare.
Sophia took a sip of milk and wiped her mouth, "Well, you Easterners are relatively conservative."
After finishing breakfast and cleaning up, Sophia took them to the statue from the day before again. As always, she brought a bundle of flowers, which she had grown in her yard.
Coming here again felt different, standing in front of the statue, following Sophia in paying respects to the statue. The crows on the statue also seemed more adorable in Chi Yan's eyes, since to Chu Yang, the crows weren't scary at all.
