Logging 10,000 Years into the Future

Chapter 317

“Brother, come quickly!”

As soon as Lu Sheng walked into the house, Lu Qinghe waved at him.

The entire living room was filled with the aroma of food.

His dad, Lu Hai, had custom-made a large round table for him. The table was filled with all kinds of dishes.

The meat of exotic beasts had not been reduced. There were also many ordinary dishes, all of which were Lu Sheng’s favorites.

“I bought it from your favorite braised food shop. Business is good. I went to line up early in the morning to buy it.” Lu Hai was opening a bottle of red wine and said to Lu Sheng with a smile, “Try it and see if it still tastes the same.”

Lu Sheng reached out to pick it up. Zheng Yufen came out of the kitchen with a bowl of steaming hot noodles.

“Wash your hands first. Even if you become a martial artist, you still have to wash your hands before eating! Hiss … It’s hot!”

Zheng Yufen quickly put the noodles on the table. While rubbing her fingers, she said with a smile, “Birthday boy, eat a bowl of longevity noodles first.”

Lu Sheng glanced at it.

Clear soup, white noodles, two poached eggs, sprinkled with some fresh green onions, and the words “Happy Birthday” on top.

Lu Qinghe came up from the side and pointed to the words proudly. “I peeled it with carrots. Awesome, right?”

“Awesome.”

Lu Sheng rubbed Lu Qinghe’s head. It was rare for him to praise her.

“Go wash your hands and eat quickly. Otherwise, the noodles will clump together.”

Zheng Yufen drove the two into the bathroom.

When Lu Sheng and Lu Qinghe finished washing their hands and came out, Lu Hai had already opened the red wine and poured it one by one.

“You and your mom also drink some today. This red wine is expensive. It was sent by the people of Red River Martial Arts Academy.” Lu Hai said to Lu Qinghe.

Lu Qinghe cried, “Dad, you have to let the wine breathe, it doesn’t taste good if it hasn’t breathed enough.”

“Why do you talk so much,” Lu Hai muttered.

Lu Sheng took the red wine glass in front of Lu Qinghe and flicked his finger on the glass.

Clang —

A crisp and pleasant sound rang out, as if invisible ripples were spreading.

“It’s fully awake now.”

Lu Sheng handed the red wine back to Lu Qinghe.

“Really?”

Lu Qinghe picked up the glass and took a sip while withholding her doubts.

In the next second, his eyes widened and he exclaimed in a low voice, “Bro, you’re a god!”

“Red wine decanting is only to allow the red wine to breathe, absorb oxygen, and fully oxidize. This can also be achieved by relying on vibrations, as long as the strength is controlled well.”

As Lu Sheng explained, he woke up his parents from their drunken stupor.

Lu Hai chuckled from the side. “What’s this called? This is called martial arts changing lives.”

“Let’s eat!” At Zheng Yufen’s command, the whole family started eating.

However, Lu Qinghe’s attention was completely attracted by Lu Sheng’s actions and words. He kept staring at the glass of red wine in front of him, thinking hard and not tasting the food.

Lu Hai reminded her several times but to no avail, so he simply ignored her. After all, the main character today was Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng sat aside and watched her; bemused.

His move just now had seemed simple and casual, but if he wanted to penetrate the wine without damaging the cup, one needed to be at the Intricate realm at the very least.

Lu Qinghe pondered.

“After your birthday, you’ll be 20 in nominal age, so you can consider getting a girlfriend …”

“Mom …”

“Your mom is right. If you see a girl you like, be bold and pursue her. That’s how I got your mom, and then I had you.”

“You’re incorrigible!”

“Hehe …”

Lu Sheng listened to Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen’s conversation, occasionally replying and adding. Beside him, Lu Qinghe nervously flicked her wine glass from time to time.

The whole family had a very happy and jovial time.

Lu Sheng’s heart completely relaxed, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng’s eyes moved. His hand that was holding the noodles with chopsticks froze for a moment. However, he quickly returned to normal and ate.

Lu Sheng slowly finished the noodles in his mouth, then picked up the bowl and drank a big mouthful of soup.

Then, he wiped his mouth and said, “Dad, Mom. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do and have to head out.”

“Ah?” Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen were both surprised.

“Can’t you leave after dinner?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“My friend sent me something, and I forgot about it until now. He’s probably waiting anxiously for it.” Lu Sheng explained.

“Alright.”

Zheng Yufen looked out the window. The sky was already dark, and the street lights were on outside.

“Do you want your dad to drive you there?”

“No, it’s just near our neighbourhood. I’ll be back in a while.”

Lu Hai seemed to have thought of something, and his smile turned obscure.

“Okay, okay, go quickly, don’t make him wait.”

He turned his head and whispered in Zheng Yufen’s ear, “Today is Little Sheng’s birthday. What kind of friend would specially come to the neighbourhood to find him, or send him something.”

“Oh!” Zheng Yufen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Quickly! Go quickly!”

She began to urge Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng found it funny, but he was happy that the two misunderstood.

He glanced at Lu Qinghe, who was still in a “bewitched” state, then turned and walked out the door.

When he was out of the door, before he reached the courtyard. He heard footsteps coming from behind him.

“Brother, remember to come back early. I’m waiting for you to blow out the candles. I picked the cake myself!”

“Okay.”

Lu Sheng responded without turning his head and strode out of the courtyard.

Lu Qinghe didn’t say anything else. She muttered, “How did he do it?”, then closed the door and went back.

Lu Sheng quietly looked in the direction of the door, his eyes gentle.

Then he turned and walked step by step in the direction of the neighbourhood gate.

With every step he took, the warmth in his eyes faded a little, and in its place emerged a deep coldness.

The streetlights elongated Lu Sheng’s shadow.

He blended into the darkness.

“Today is my birthday … How annoying.”

…

“Okay, okay, let’s go back.”

Pang Huaiyu looked at the completely dark sky outside, and the streetlights lit up one by one. She shook her head dispiritedly: “Another wasted day.”

She paid the bill and stood up from her seat.

“I’ve been sitting here for a week; my butt is almost flat …” Pang Huaiyu walked out of the coffee shop and subconsciously looked in the direction of the neighbourhood gate.

Everything was as usual.

She walked along the long street in the other direction.

This was a high-end residential area. Although the infrastructure was perfect, it was remote after all, and there were not many people on the street at night.

Only the occasional car drove by, bringing with it the sound of whistling.

Car …

Pang Huaiyu’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

She quickly turned around and went back the way she came.
