KEEP WAITING FOR YOU - Season 36 Episode 19

Thanks to what he had done, she had the happiness that she had right now.

She loved that she could reminisce about the past.

“My Second Brother is so ahead.” Even Han Zhuofeng was surprised.

Before they started dating, he could already make her partner feel that they were dating.

When they just started dating, he already called her partner’s mother as Mom.

No matter what, he was always one step ahead.

Han Zhuofeng felt that he should learn from Han Zhuoli.

Han Zhuofeng could not help but sit forward. He leaned forward and asked, “Second Brother, how did you hone your mindset so well?”

“That’s because it’s easy to talk to my mother-in-law; she’s kind, and she likes me,” said Han Zhuoli, “Don’t you know your father-in-law and mother-in-law?”

Han Zhuofeng was speechless. “…”

“I think it’s a little hard for me,” said Han Zhuofeng, “You guys also know about what happened to Jiling’s cousin.”

That day, when Xie Jiling talked about it, everyone was there.

“My mother-in-law is very concerned that Jiling will also be hurt like her cousin, so when she’s facing a son-in-law, she’s bound to be even more careful. It won’t be as easy as the mothers of my sisters-in-law,” said Han Zhuofeng, troubled.

Xie Jiling did not even know what to say.

Han Zhuofeng learned fast.

He hadn’t even met her parents yet, but he was already calling her mother as Mother-in-law. He was really treating himself like the son-in-law.

Han Zhuoli also noticed it.

The brat learned quickly in this area.

“Fine, just continue being shameless like how you are right now. Even if your mother-in-law doesn’t trust you and doesn’t like you, nothing is impossible as long as you’re shameless enough,” said Han Zhuoli.

Xie Jiling was speechless.

She was a little concerned for her mom.

For the whole night, Xie Jiling listened as Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli came up with plans for Han Zhuofeng.

How to deal with… no… how to please Han Zhuofeng’s in-laws.

Xie Jiling whispered to Han Zhuofeng, “You really don’t need to worry. When I called back home last time, my parents have actually given their consent.”

“But I’m still nervous. I have to behave well,” said Han Zhuofeng, “I’ll sleep early tonight to make sure I have energy. No, I have to sleep early tonight, then sleep even more on the plane tomorrow, so I can be fully energized when I meet the parents.”

Xie Jiling did not know if Han Zhuofeng could truly fall asleep.

Anyway, he went to his bedroom early.

It was an early flight, and they had to reach the airport ninety minutes before.

Han Zhuofeng bought first-class tickets so they did not need to queue up for security checks.

Otherwise, looking at the number of people in B City’s airport every day, just queuing up for the security checks would take at least half an hour.

Han Zhuofeng left with Xie Jiling to the airport early in the morning.

After they landed and went through twists and turns, they finally arrived at the Xie Family’s home. The sky was already dark. It was already seven o’clock.

The Xie Family really lived deep in the mountains. It was not an exaggeration at all.

If they did not know the roads and there was nobody leading them, it would be difficult to find the location of the Xie Family.

The jungle was lush. From outside, only densely packed trees could be seen; no buildings could be seen.

But after driving through it, surprisingly, there was a huge manor hidden inside.

The Chinese manor looked stylish, but as it was built in the mountains and it was already dark, it looked terrifying.

The good thing was although the manor looked ancient, the facilities inside were pretty modern.

From the entrance, it was filled with lights, reducing the scary atmosphere.

While on the way, Han Zhuofeng whispered to Xie Jiling, “Luckily you brought me here; if it were someone else, I would suspect whether they would kill me halfway.”

Xie Jiling was speechless.

It was only when Han Zhuofeng saw the illuminated Xie Family’s manor that he let out a sigh of relief.

This brightness made people rest assured.

“Luckily, they aren’t lanterns,” whispered Han Zhuofeng.

Xie Jiling laughed because of what he said. She explained, “Our manor was passed down from ancient times, so it’s probably a few hundred years old. But don’t worry here; we’re a family of exorcists, so there’s no safer place than here.”

“It’s pretty big here, so why can’t we see anything from outside?” asked Han Zhuofeng.

“Because there’s a barrier,” explained Xie Jiling, “Since the Xie Family’s first exorcist, we have been setting up barriers outside the Xie Family’s manor. Originally, there weren’t as many exorcists here, so the barrier was not as strong as today.”

“However, generations of exorcists kept improving and strengthening the barrier, so it became bigger and covered a wider area. And as the number of Xie Family’s exorcists increased, so the Xie Family’s manor also increased in size as it was passed down from generation to generation.”

“Finally, it became what it is now. The barrier was officially formed, and we don’t even need to improve anything anymore. We just need to strengthen the barrier once every ten years.”

“This barrier, how should I put it… It’s like an invisibility hood, making the Xie Family invisible after covering it.”

“No matter how outsiders look at it, they can only see a lush forest,” said Xie Jiling.

“The road to the Xie Family is designed according to the Eight Trigrams,” explained Xie Jiling, “Together with the course, if you walk the right way, the flat road to the Xie Family will appear. However, if you walk the wrong way, the barrier will expel you immediately.”

“You will notice that you’ll suddenly appear deep in the mountains, without any roads built,” said Xie Jiling, “So without anyone leading you inside, no one will be able to find the Xie Family, let alone see it.”

“It’s so magical,” praised Han Zhuofeng, “Then, when we don’t have anything to do during these few days, come with me, and let’s try it.”

Seeing that Xie Jiling was confused, Han Zhuofeng explained, “Let’s walk the wrong way on purpose with me, I want to see the effect.”

Han Zhuofeng’s expression said that he really wanted to try. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “If we went the wrong way, it won’t activate any trap, right? There won’t be any danger, right?”

“You’re overthinking.” Xie Jiling laughed. Directors truly tended to overthink. “If you go the wrong way, it will just expel you, it won’t hurt anyone.”

As the two talked, they met a few people on the way.

They were all from the Xie Family.

They greeted Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng happily.

“Jiling, we heard about it. You’re bringing back your boyfriend!”

“Haha, your boyfriend looks pretty handsome.”

“Not bad, not bad. I told you to explore the world as well other than studying and exorcizing.”

The attitudes of these people from the Xie Family made Han Zhuofeng feel relieved.

Everyone was pretty friendly. They did not think that it was bad that he and Xie Jiling were together.

When they walked further in, a group of kids rushed out and surrounded them.

“What are you guys doing?” asked Xie Jiling, smiling, “Are you guys done with your homework? Are you done training today? How come you guys have the time to come here?”
