HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR MY BABES!

Here is a new chapter for a new year! After so much waiting, the complete Advance Bravely series is finally here to stay! This is a small message from Chai Ji Dan herself:

Chai Ji Dan: " One year has already passed. Because of this series I've had to run north and south, delaying other films like 19 Days. During this period, there were a few times when I have wanted to give up, but the letters I received from everyone did not allow me to give up. Right now, I don't have high hopes for it anymore, my only hope is that the people who have been waiting for this film so so long feels satisfied with the outcome. Happy new year everyone ! I hope Advance Bravely will still have your support this year as it did the last ! "

I know that a lot had to be changed for the series to be aired, but nonetheless, it is here, and I guess that is all that we can hope for. The "real" graveyard scene is in this chapter.

*************

Yuan Zong cooked an exuberant meal for Xia Yao: Northeastern stuffed pork, fried carp, braised pork; the fragrant drifting in the air was Wu Chang rice and thin-skinned Manchurian dumplings with large fillings...

Three people sat around a squared table situated near the heater.

Xia Yao sat closest to the fireplace, staring down at the displayed meal, looking at the plates of northeastern food; the dream he has been longing for was finally coming true.

He then recalled how he had dangerously braved the winter's force, braved the hazardous road, ventured a thousand miles in this frigid cold. But in return, the feeling of accomplishing that is indescribable!

"Huhm, this is delicious."

"Smells amazing."

"This is what I call true Northeastern dishes!"

As soon as Xia Yao came into contact with delicious food, he will abandon all signs of that cool exterior and show a stupidly happy face of a low born civilian with a touch of childish like innocence.

Once again, Yuan Ru began drooling, she couldn't think of a worse reason for her male idol to destroy his image than eating; but no matter how much Xia Yao damages his image, she will always be regretful for asking her brother to be their matchmaker.

Now, Yuan Zong had not only stolen her love from her hand, but he also cherished his "wife's" life like his own. Yuan Ru continuously stared at Xia Yao; from the opposite direction, a deep warning voice sounded.

"Why do you keep looking at him like that rather than eating your own food?"

Yuan Ru rolled her eyes impatiently, then unhappily stabbed her chopsticks into the meat dish in front of her.

Xia Yao tasted a meatball, and couldn't stop nodding in agreement.

"This one is really nice, it's delicious."

He then wasted no time to pick up another meatball, glancing at Yuan Zong as if to signal something. Yuan Zong congenially opened his mouth to easily catch the meatball that flew from Xia Yao's chopsticks.

Yuan Beauty saw this played out and felt somewhat itchy on the inside, "I also want one."

"Are you able to catch it with your mouth only?" Xia Yao asked, "If the answer is yes then I can pick one for you."

Yuan Ru arrogantly opened wide.

Xia Yao used his chopsticks to throw the meatballs over, Yuan Ru urgently turned left and right, from this side to that side, and the meatball very accurately.......flew straight into her face.

Yuan Ru screamed angrily.

Yuan Zong displayed a hard-to-catch smile. Xia Yao clipped another strip of bacon for a taste and discovered a familiar flavor, he asked Yuan Zong, "Is this the same type of meat you made for me last time?"

Yuan Zong nodded while still chewing.

Upon hearing that, Yuan Ru quickly picked up a piece for herself. Usually, she would never be able to withstand the taste of bacon, but this specific dish was quite good. Unlike the homemade type which is too dry, nor like the ones at the supermarket with too many additives, this bacon had a pure taste. In other words, particularly yummy.

So Yuan Ru indignantly choked up on her food.

"Ge, how come I've never seen this dish before? You must have kept them all to yourself and ate it!"

Yuan Zong said, "I have never eaten it either. I've saved some for our parents."

"What? How can you bring such delicious meat to visit a grave? It must have all been stolen by now!"

When their parents passed away, Yuan Ru was just a babe, therefore, her feelings for them do not run as deep as Yuan Zong's.

Yuan Zong didn't say a word and continued quietly eating.

Xia Yao had just picked up two more meatballs from Yuan Zong's plate when his phone rang showing Xuan Da Yu's face. He immediately stood up to go outside.

"Where did you go to die?"

Xia Yao replied while still chewing, "To Dong Bei."

"It's freaking cold out there, why did you go to Dong Bei? Oh my, don't tell me, you have fallen for some girl?"

"No, it's nothing like that."

"..."

After five minutes, Yuan Zong's face darkened when Xia Yao had yet to make a return to the dining table.

"Go out and call him in." Yuan Zong commanded his sister.

Yuan Ru talked back, "Why don't you go call him yourself?"

"Do as I say!" Yuan Zong scowled, "Quickly go tell him: if you don't finish this meal, there won't be any more in the future."

Yuan Ru couldn't do anything else other than grumpily don on her shoes, went outside, and called that person standing underneath the tree.

"Xia Yao, if you don't finish this meal then you won't get any more in the future."

Xuan Da Yu instantly heard Yuan Ru's voice and asked, "Is she calling you?"

"No more talking, I need to get back to eating." (:3 Xia Yao + Food = No face :v)

Xia Yao wanted to make use of every second so he ran like the wind back inside the house.

After eating, Xia Yao suddenly asked Yuan Zong, "Need I visit your parents' grave? Either way, I have arrived here, the least I can do is bring flowers and say some prayers for aunty and uncle, right?"

Yuan Zong tapped on Xia Yao's head lightly, "Why are you still calling them auntie and uncle?"

"You mean I should call them mother and father?"

Yuan Zong suddenly found this situation very amusing, "My parents are older than yours, you should call them (older) aunt and uncle."

Alright...Xia Yao quickly turned his face away.

Yuan Zong warmly looked at Xia Yao, suddenly asking, "I brought the bacon to my parents' grave, are you mad?"

"Why should I be?" Xia Yao became flabbergasted, "It's not for somebody else, but for your birth parents. If someone did steal it, that would still be leftover meat from your parents."

The way Xia Yao spoke with such propriety made Yuan Zong's heart heat up.

Because the village didn't sell flowers, Xia Yao had to go buy two flasks of wine and a box of biscuits to bring along.

In comparison to the graveyard built for Xia Yao's prestigious ancestors, Yuan Zong's parents' seemed desolate. In the past when it was chaotic in this village, everyone was brought here to be buried.

"Why don't you move your parents to Beijing?" Xia Yao couldn't help asking.

Yuan Zong replied, "We have a tradition here, wherever your root is, you need to return there; that's the only way for you to die in peace."

Xia Yao thought that this was understandable, like those elders who want to be buried in their hometown even after having lived in his area for decades.

Yuan Zong continued, "When they were alive they didn't get to live a fulfilled life, they passed away in pain. My parents weren't literate, they put all their hopes onto their only son, but by the time I was able to repay them, they've already gone."

"But you can't blame yourself!" Xia Yao consolidated Yuan Zong, "Your parents were of old age, they couldn't live with you forever."

"When my father passed away he was still very young, 25 years old. He died serving in the army, I did not get to see him once in my life"

Xia Yao was suddenly lost for words.

Yuan Zong continued, "Aren't I a useless son to raise?"

Yuan Zong poured a strong cup of wine down his throat, his eyes turning red.

Xia Yao became frustrated as well, so he robbed the second glass of Yuan Zong's hand and directly poured it down his throat. Then he sat down onto the snow beside Yuan Zong. He used all of his strength to pull Yuan Zong's collar, dragging him into his embrace; he was first met with resistance, but finally, Yuan Zong's head crashed down onto his shoulder. (Cries T_T)

Xia Yao gave a harsh slap on Yuan Zong's back, using his mature voice to talk to this man for the first time.

"At least you helped the raise a daughter, that is enough."

Moreover, this particular daughter does not want to improve herself, rather, she would wander aimlessly day in day out, looking for men...Auntie and uncle must really want to turn in their graves right now for having such a daughter.

Yuan Zong then consoled in Xia Yao on many family matters, like how he has not fulfilled his role as a son which has him guilt-ridden. Now Xia Yao understood why Yuan Zong wanted to stay so long at home, because he wanted to repay his parents, to experience family warmth. Even if he had stepped onto a pile of snow in his garden, as long as it is Yuan Zong, it would be enough to make his parents' soul feel less lonely.

Yuan Zong stroked Xia Yao's forehead, feeling a little helpless.

"I brought you here for your enjoyment, but you ended up spending time with this depressed person."

Xia Yao swiftly turned around, "It's fine, I like seeing you depressed, with you feeling down, I can turn into your ancestors and comfort you."

Very well...Yuan Zong nodded, you are my warm-hearted brat.

You have suffered throughout your life, endured storms after storms, met many perverted beauties, fought against countless strong men! But right now 'You are a different Yuan Zong, you're here spilling your heart out about your deepest and darkest secrets. Yuan Zong, you're mine'.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the 15th of the first month according to the Lunar calendar.

Xuan Da Yu was feeling particularly bored these past few days, and was about to go crazy. Xia Yao has not contacted him in any way. After witnessing crowds of people gather together, Xuan Da Yu decided to drag Xia Yao back no matter the cost.

After he had figured out the location and packed his bags, Xuan Da Yu immediately left for the airport.

But just as he was about to step foot out of his house, somebody else's feet had already stepped in.

"Eh, eh, eh, where are you off to?" Xuan Da Yu grabbed a 'someone' who was confidently walking into his house.

Wang Zhi Shui replied, "Going inside!"

"Don't you see I'm about to go out?"

"You go do your stuff." Wang Zhi Shui said, "I can wait here for you by my self, no need to worry about me."

"Who would worry about you?" Xuan Da Yu grimly frowned, "Who are you? Is this your house? Where you can just come and go as you wish?"

Wang Zhi Shui made an obvious face, "I came to spend this Chinese new year dinner with you."

"Eat eat my ass!" Xuan Da Yu angrily exclaimed.

Wang Zhi Shui took out a bag of hollow donuts and waved it in front of his face, "It the First Full Moon Festival! You can't have forgotten what is today?"

"I haven't forgotten today is the First Full Moon festival, but I don't want to spend it with the likes of you."

Wang Zhi Shui licked his lips, "In the beginning, just a few days ago, didn't you say that you wanted to have the Lunar New Year meal with me?"

"I may have announced that then, but it doesn't mean I want to eat any more dinners with you!"

"If we can eat together that day, then why not today?"

"But we've already eaten together once, why should we do it again?"

"Because that day has already passed!"

"..."
