Chapter 829 - 78: I Mind It a Lot_3

Chen Lusi looked at the lady in front of him, silent for a moment: "...Alright, I promise you."

"You also promised Ji Xin you wouldn’t go to Yellow Springs, and yet you did, so it’s hard to feel at ease."

Si Yujie shook her head, then suddenly changed the subject: "However, if I can leave you with a thought, perhaps I can feel a bit at ease."

"..."

Chen Lusi felt this sounded familiar... but still asked: "What thought?"

Si Yujie looked at Chen Lusi’s well-defined face, her beautiful features glowing red in the sunset: "...Me."

"..."

Chen Lusi was bewildered.

Si Yujie’s ears turned red as she said: "Me as a person."

Chen Lusi froze, then stiffened all over.

"...Actually, I’ve been torn about whether to tell you."

Si Yujie seemed unaware of Chen Lusi’s change, she just slowly turned her head, looked at the sunset, and said softly: "After all, you already have Lin Ying. I also wasn’t sure of my own feelings, it just felt so foolish to do it, but... for some reason, when I just heard you might become the Recorder of the Book of Descriptions, you might disappear, I suddenly felt like I had nothing more to lose."

Upon saying this.

She paused for a moment, then turned her head, repeating: "Absolutely nothing to lose."

Even if Chen Lusi were foolish, he could figure it out, and he was dumbfounded on the spot, after a long while, he spoke: "I..."

"Let me speak first."

Si Yujie gently wrapped her arm around his neck, shaking her head: "I don’t know why I have such thoughts. I hadn’t come of age and became an Empowerer, then just focused on making myself stronger, until I met people like Xia Yue, I realized I could never surpass such a monster in my lifetime, instantly lost hope, and started to go with the flow.

Then came Xiaoyan’s story, my initial thought was actually very simple, I just wanted to experience being a mother.

Then I got bound, although I don’t regret it. But as Xiaoyan grew older, as my age increased, occasionally I would wonder... about the future.

After all, I’m only twenty-eight, it’s normal."

She pressed her glossy red lips together, continuing: "Actually, before you appeared, I occasionally considered it, but I didn’t like anyone, even Xia Yue, I thought he was an idiot, a powerful idiot... And you, I don’t know when it started, maybe it’s whenever I teased you to the point you wouldn’t fight back or talk back, or maybe it’s every pivotal moment you stood in front of me, maybe it’s when you chose to replace me saying ’let me be’ for Celestial Strategy that brought a sense of security, or maybe simply because I just like you, a seemingly weak boy who can be conquered but actually can conquer anyone.

Because honestly, I’ve thought about being a queen... although it’s a bit embarrassing to say."

Upon saying this.

She looked at Chen Lusi, a touch of pride surfaced on her dazzlingly beautiful face, coldly looking at Chen Lusi as if she was gazing down at him.

But soon.

She restrained that coldness, and shyly laughed softly: "It’s very strange, isn’t it? I want a man I can conquer, yet I want a man who can conquer me."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"Of course, actually the reason doesn’t matter at all, because even with a million reasons, I can convince myself, what’s important is... when I just heard what you said, I realized I don’t want you to leave."

Si Yujie gazed at Chen Lusi, speaking softly: "I can’t imagine what I’d do if you suddenly disappeared. I don’t know when I got used to your presence, actually during this time, every time I appeared at Celestial Strategy Trading, I always hoped you’d show up at the counter, hoping to tease you a bit.

This thought, as the days went on, grew stronger and stronger, and just now, it seemed to burst.

Hearing you say that Recorders might not have a physical form... my only thought was not to let you disappear, even if you can’t stay by my side all the time, I hope to keep that expectation, hoping every time you appear at the counter, hoping you appear before me every time.

And because of this strong thought... all concerns and rationality disappeared."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"This is my motive... and I, with Xiaoyan, probably can’t get married, I don’t fancy anyone else, it feels like this is how my life will be."

Si Yujie pressed her glossy red lips together again, speaking softly: "So I don’t want anything else, I just want Chen Lusi, after all Xiaoyan, as she grows older, will also need a man to act as a father... hmm, this is what I want to say, you don’t need to answer me immediately, because I know this is stupid, who hits a home run directly... but just consider this as a whim of an older single woman who once dreamed of meeting her fated one."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"I really am a bad sister."

Si Yujie finished speaking, did not listen for a response, or rather dared not listen.

She wrapped her arm around Chen Lusi’s neck, directly lowering her head to avoid his gaze, then softly said: "Wanting to steal someone else’s thing, and playing little tricks, actually the coat just now I deliberately took off, even adjusted the swimsuit specially, even purposely folded my legs, because I think you should like legs, truly wicked."

"Sister Siyu."

Chen Lusi finally snapped out of it, then after a silent moment, softly said: "I..."

"Wait."

But before he could finish, Si Yujie suddenly lifted her head, interrupting him: "Since I’ve already been a bad sister, then before you answer, let me do something I’ve always been curious about."

Chen Lusi was confused for a moment: "...What?"

Si Yujie didn’t answer, just forcefully embraced his neck while raising her other hand to tuck her soaked hair that stuck on her beautiful face behind her ear.

Next.

A soft, warm touch came.

"..."

Chen Lusi unconsciously held tightly onto the mature and proud body in his arms.

After more than ten seconds.

Si Yujie lifted her head, ear tips red, but with a calm expression: "...So this is what it feels like, but it’s quite salty, is it because of the seawater? Don’t move."

Chen Lusi: "..."

...More than ten seconds later.

"Surely it’s the seawater’s fault."

Si Yujie lifted her head again, wiped the moisture off her red lips, aside from her red ears, maintained a calm expression.

...Not losing her regal demeanor at all.

Only.

Soon.

She couldn’t remain calm.

Because Chen Lusi’s body stiffened.

And she, apparently noticed as well.

"Ah..."

Si Yujie let out a brief exclamation, glanced down, then lifted her head again, her face slightly red: "...Does this count as a response?"

Chen Lusi: "..."

"...I guess not."

Si Yujie realized Chen Lusi wasn’t speaking, after a moment of silence, the beautiful face showed a slight smile, then she casually said: "Alright... what were you going to say just now? What’s your answer?"

"I was just about to say..."

Chen Lusi looked at Si Yujie, expressionless, saying: "Who exactly told you I’d disappear if I became the Recorder?"

Si Yujie’s expression froze.

Next, the two looked into each other’s eyes.

The evening breeze blew, a dead silence.
