Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Going to school

Lian and Mei’s expressions were anything but cheerful. The very idea of them going to school made them unhappy. "Look at you two! So smart in your uniforms," exclaimed Old Song, his voice warm and encouraging. "Give me a twirl, let me see how sharp you look!"

Despite their initial reluctance, the twins couldn’t help but smile. They spun around, their skirts flaring out as they laughed. Old Song clapped his hands in delight, his praise lifting their spirits just a little.

"That’s the spirit!" he cheered. "You both look fantastic!"

As the twins settled back down, still giggling, Old Song reached into a shopping bag at his feet. With a flourish, he pulled out two sleek, new phones. Lian and Mei’s eyes widened in surprise and excitement.

"Are they for us?" Mei asked, her voice filled with wonder.

Old Song nodded, a proud smile spreading across his wrinkled face. "Yes, they are. Pick the ones you like best. I even got some cool cases for them."

The twins jumped up, their earlier gloom forgotten. They eagerly chose their favourite colours, their faces glowing with happiness. "Thank you, Grandpa!" Lian said, her voice brimming with gratitude. Mei echoed her sister, "Grandpa, you are the best!"

Xiang Yu, who had been watching the scene unfold with a gentle smile, remained silent. His eyes softened as he observed the joy on the twins’ faces. Old Song, clearly flattered by their appreciation, waved a dismissive hand, though his eyes shone with happiness.

"It’s just a small thing," he said modestly, though the crinkles around his eyes betrayed his pleasure.

Lian and Mei rushed over to Xiang Yu, their new phones clutched tightly in their hands. "Look, Master! Aren’t they amazing?" Mei asked, her eyes sparkling.

Xiang Yu nodded, his smile widening. "They are very nice. Grandpa Song is very kind."

"Master, can we keep them?" Lian asked, her voice tinged with hope. The twins looked up at him with expectant eyes, clearly anxious for his approval.

Xiang Yu didn’t keep them in suspense. "Of course, you can keep them. It’s a gift from Grandpa Song, after all."

The twins let out a cheer of excitement, thanking Old Song once more before dashing up the stairs. "Don’t stay up too long!" Xiang Yu called after them, his tone half-serious. "If I come up there and you’re still awake, you will be in trouble!"

"Yes, Master!" they chorused back, their laughter echoing down the hallway as they disappeared from sight.

Old Song chuckled, his heart warmed by the scene. "They are good kids," he said softly, more to himself than anyone else.

Xiang Yu nodded, his gaze still fixed on the stairs where the twins had vanished. "Yes, they are," he agreed, a hint of pride in his voice.
