Maybe My Soulmate! (GL)

”Thank you for the tea, Xuxu.” The moment Shen Mingyue said this in a low voice, Mother Lan almost immediately sprayed the whole tea in her mouth but controlled herself at the last moment, otherwise she would be good embarrassed later.

Fengfeng was immediately scared by her mother’s muffled coughings and immediately asked,

”Mom? What happened??”

She was about to stand up and go closer towards her mother to support her, but before she could even move, she suddenly felt a guest of wind blowing by her face and the next second, Shen Mingyue who was on the other side of the low table was actually beside Mother Lan! Her arms were around Mother Lan’s shoulders and she quitely patted her back to relieve her intermittent coughings and even took out a cup of spiritual water from her storage and brought it closer towards her mouth,

”Drink it. It would relieve your coughings. You should be more careful when drinking tea.”

At this moment, Mother Lan’s coughings had stopped but her face was still a little red from the lack of breath. She took a few deep breath to calm down and immediately put her mouth on the cup of spiritual water that Shen Mingyue presented before her and took a small sip.

As the spiritual water flowed down her throat, mother Lan immediately felt relaxed and it seemed like a cool feeling washing over her whole body and mother Lan couldn’t help but feel the immediate and miraculous effects of this seemingly normal spiritual water.

But the moment she heard She Mingyue talk, she immediately glared at her with her eyes but didn’t say anything out loud and only muttered to herself softly,

”Hmmph.. isn’t it because of you.”

”Did you say something?” Shen Mingyue immediately asked after she felt mother Lan mumbling slightly but mother Lan immediately denied saying,

”No, no! I was just feeling the effects of this liquid. What is it called?”

Mother Lan immediately asked a random question to distract Shen Mingyue from pursuing the previous question and Shen Mingyue also didn’t ask anything nd just answered but mother Lan didn’t see the slightly teasing smile at the corner of Shen Mingyue’s lips. After all, for a Cultivator of her calibre, she can hear her words even from a thousand miles away, much less when she is this close. But seeing that mother Lan was embarrassed, she didn’t intend to embarrass her more.

”It’s a spiritual water formed between the heaven and earth. Only one drop is created in a special cave every single day. This water is filled with pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth and doesn’t have any side effects at all. Good for cultivation and healing but mostly has the effect of calming the mind and cultivators use it to often to comprehend thier arts or further improve their techniques and it even helps to achieve sudden enlightenments.”

Shen Mingyue said in a neither hurried nor slow tone but Mother Lan felt at peace just by hearing her voice. And she listened to her words, she couldn’t help but marvel at the effects of this miraculous spiritual water. She didn’t think that this seemingly normal looking water had such amazing effects. But Mother Lan immediately realised that this spiritual water was an extremely rare treasure that she may not have come across in her whole life!

”This.... Isn’t this too rare and expensive?? Why did you give it to me when it was just a normal cough.”

Mother Lan was a bit overwhelmed by it but Shen Mingyue didn’t feel anything and only said in a calm tone as if this rare treasure was nothing but the most common dust in her eyes,

”It’s fine. I have an entire pond of this spiritual water. ”

Hearing Shen Mingyue’s words, Mother Lan felt a lump in her throat as she couldn’t help but feel that this was a true rich lady.

At this time, Shen Mingyue has quite naturally sat beside Mother Lan with her arms still around her shoulders and Fengfeng saw that even the sitting mat was moved below her!

Fengfeng on the other hand felt like she has blended with the background with no one caring about her and even when she wanted to speak up but seeing the scene of the two women before her, she couldn’t say anything at all!

The harmonious picture before her strangely reminded Fengfeng of the story of the most loving husband and wife that she heard in an opera before.

Fengfeng felt aggrieved in her heart as shefelt ignored but seeing the smile on her mother’s face as she talked with the woman beside her, Fengfeng felt that this was the first time she has seen her mother being this happy and carefree.

Fengfeng could only quitely slip away from there after drinking her tree and went under the plum blossom tree and started meditating to consolidate her Cultivation at the qi condensation stage.

On Mother Lan’s side, both of them were sitting side by side with Shen Mingyue’s arms around mother Lan’s shoulders as they looked outside towards the sky.

Mother Lan was thinking about Mo Yuxin when she suddenly noticed the hand around her shoulder which has never left for quite some time but she felt shy to bring this up to Shen Mingyue and just when she was about to say something, Shen Mingyue’s voice came floating into her mind like this cool summer breeze, making her ears feel hot and cold at the same time,

”You have suffered a lot, Xuxu. I’m sorry.”

Mother Lan was stunned after hearing her words. She knew that the words and actions of this woman were very weird, for people who just met each other just an hour ago, this shouldn’t be how they get along. But Mother Lan has also realised for quite some time that something was very unusual about this woman. From the moment she met this woman to now, she has never felt a single moment of discomfort or resistance towards her, as if all their actions and words towards each other were completely normal and natural.

Mother Lan wanted to say something, say a lot of things but in the end, she felt a sense of grievance and sadness welling up from the very depths of her soul. Mother Lan was surprised to find herself being like this, she didn’t know why she could become this vulnerable towards this woman but she also knew from her heart that Shen Mingyue wouldn’t hurt her nor would she ever belittle her feelings.

Mother Lan’s eyes turned red as she was almost about to cry and release all the pent up feelings for her over 40 years of life but she stopped herself at the last moment and asked back,

”Who are you? D-do w-we know each other somehow?”

Shen Mingyue wasn’t surprised by her words. After all, in the entire world, she in the only one who knows Lan Xu from her entire soul. Every but of her personality, how she thinks, how stubborn she is, all of it is known by Shen Mingyue for a long long time.

Mother Lan stared at the face of the woman beside her who calmly looked at her with her same cold and deep eyes but Mother Lan could now clearly see and feel the naked and overflowing love and gentleness as well as a bit of sadness in those eyes of hers.

Mother Lan immediately felt burned by her eyes and she Instinctively wanted evade the current topic and immediately said,

”I-it’s okay. F-forget what I asked. Here, drink the tea. It will get cold otherwise.”

Mother Lan didn’t even dare to look at Shen Mingyue’s eyes and only lowered her head to drink the tea that she hasn’t finished.

But at this moment, Shen Mingyue suddenly leaned towards her ears causing her earlobes to feel like burning hot as a slight blush was stained on her face and the cool voice of Shen Mingyue floated into her ears,

”Hmm. We know each other through our very soul. Don’t worry, you will find out slowly.”

Mother heard her voice as her warm breath sprayed on the side of face, making the blush on her face even redder than before and she immediately spoke up in a stumbling voice,

”N-no. I-it’s okay. I-I don’t need to know.”

Hearing her quivering voice, Shen Mingyue didn’t say anything and just when Mother Lan thought that the topic was diverted, a few words floated into her ears making her feel even more shy and embarrassed,

”Cute. Xuxu.”

These two words were said in a very low voice and if the two of them weren’t as close as they were, Mother Lan definitely wouldn’t have heard it. Unfortunately, Mother Lan heard it clearly and she felt so shy as if she would burrow her whole body in a hole if she could. She pretended to not hear her and continued to look outside towards the gradually darkening sky but the crimson tips of her ears exposed how shy she was.
