Chapter 361 [Meeting]

Nightfall was approaching.

At the end of GD Avenue, at the Sky Star Ferry Terminal. On a section of the pedestrian scenic walkway by the coast, Chen Yan and Lu Sisi sat side by side on a tourist bench.

Lu Sisi’s body nestled against Chen Yan’s shoulder, her head gently leaning on Chen Yan’s neck. The girl’s soft breathing, accompanied by the evening breeze and the sound of water, gently streamed into Chen Yan’s ears wave after wave.

Though the winter climate in Port City remained warm, the temperature still dropped slightly after nightfall.

Chen Yan didn’t want to disturb Lu Sisi’s warmth at the moment, so he discreetly made a hand gesture to cast a small spell, causing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around them to slightly block the external sea breeze.

People were cuddling on the shore, while passengers crowded on the ferry on the sea.

Lu Sisi stayed quiet for a long time, without speaking a word, seeming to be immersed in the rare serene atmosphere.

The narrow sea facing the famous Central of Port City, where skyscrapers stood tall, from this angle it somewhat resembled looking out from the Bund towards Lujiazui.

However, the now aged and declining Port City had Central’s climate that paled compared to the thriving Lujiazui.

Chen Yan still held a partially eaten egg waffle, something they had picked up casually while strolling earlier. He himself didn’t care much for this snack, but girls like Lu Sisi quite enjoyed it.

They had been sitting here for nearly half an hour, and Lu Sisi had hardly spoken. As if for her, leaning in the embrace of a loved one, taking a few bites of the sweet egg waffle, and quietly cuddling together was already very fulfilling.

With a whistle from the ferry on the sea, Lu Sisi finally squinted her eyes slightly, looking up at Chen Yan and softly laughing, "Having sat here for so long, does it feel dull?"

Chen Yan shook his head, gently scraping his hand over Lu Sisi’s eyelids, and laughed, "If you want to keep sitting, I’ll sit with you."

Lu Sisi chuckled, looking at Chen Yan, "This time, can you stay a little longer?"

"...", Chen Yan quietly looked into Lu Sisi’s eyes, seeing the hope in her gaze, he nodded strongly, "This time when I come back, I probably won’t travel far again—before, I kept going out because I had important matters to attend to, but now... there’s none."

"Then, will you be at home from now on? Umm... I mean, will you be home for a long time?"

"You don’t want me to travel far, I won’t go. Even if I have to travel, I’ll take you with me." Chen Yan immediately replied.

Lu Sisi’s eyes lit up.

But soon, the sparkle in her eyes dimmed, she frowned and looked at Chen Yan, "... Actually, you always have things on your mind, don’t you?"

Chen Yan said nothing.

Lu Sisi lifted her arm, extending a small hand, and gently stroked a slender finger over Chen Yan’s furrowed brow.

"Here." The girl’s voice was gentle, but carried a hint of concern, "It’s been a long time since I noticed your forehead always furrowed, you seem to have troubling concerns, right? Is it outside matters, too complicated and hard to handle?"

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, "You, noticed early on?"

"Of course." Lu Sisi nodded, "But before, I didn’t dare ask you. I thought, people as remarkable as you, cultivators, with great Divine Techniques, are like immortals in this world—

For you to worry like this, the matter must be very difficult."

I wanted to ask you but feared it might bring you more trouble."

Chen Yan sighed inwardly but didn’t show it on his face, he said with a smile, "Won’t be troubled anymore, this time coming back, really not leaving, don’t worry."

Real joy and delight appeared in Lu Sisi’s eyes.

The next morning.

Chen Yan got off the bed, looked at Lu Sisi who was still curled up and asleep beside him. He gently reached over, removing the fair arm draped over his waist, and quietly got out of bed.

They only fell asleep as dawn broke.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, last night, the two young lovers vigorously conveyed their love and longing.

In the end, Lu Sisi’s voice became hoarse, and she was so exhausted she couldn’t even lift a finger, with Chen Yan carrying her to the bathroom for a shower.

Once she lay down, Lu Sisi fell asleep in less than two minutes, but even while asleep, she kept one arm gently wrapped around Chen Yan, unwilling to let go.

Chen Yan went to the bathroom, and upon returning, saw Lu Sisi lying awake in bed, her bright eyes fixating on Chen Yan.

Chen Yan smiled as he towel-dried his face, "Hungry?"

Lu Sisi shook her head, then seeming to recall something, her face flushed, and she pulled herself deeper under the sheets, "Still so tired, my body aches."

Chen Yan walked over, leaned down and pecked Lu Sisi’s lips, saying softly, "Then just continue resting, I have to step out for a bit to attend to some matters at Dean Chu’s, related to the Liu family.

Umm... you can sleep a little more, I’ll definitely come back tonight for dinner together, hmm... I’ll try to resolve things with the Liu family as soon as possible..."

Before Chen Yan could finish, Lu Sisi already shook her head, "It’s alright, go tend to your matters."

Pausing briefly, she continued with a smile, "I’ll lie down a bit longer before getting up, you go handle your responsibilities, I’ll first return to the Yang family.

Mr. Yang Sr. knew I hadn’t left, yesterday he mentioned inviting me back to stay. Apparently, he learned from Dean Chu that you’re here, and he really wants to meet you."
