Chapter 830 - 79: Relationship Suddenly Draws Closer

The awkwardness, as if it had solidified, began to spread.

Si Yujie looked at Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi looked at her.

Then.

Unsure how much time had passed.

Si Yujie finally moved, reaching out again to tuck her wet hair behind her ear, clinging to her beautiful face, and then said, "Didn’t you say before that the previous Recorder might not have a physical form?"

"Yes."

Chen Lusi nodded, admitting, "That’s indeed possible."

Si Yujie continued, "And you also said you might become a Recorder."

Chen Lusi nodded again, "Yes."

"Then..."

"But there’s no necessary connection between the two."

Chen Lusi said blankly, "I said the previous Recorder had no physical form to express that they were like ghosts... or perhaps forced to hide their identity due to Imperial Authority, or they became aloof Judges, and of course, it’s also possible they were constrained by rules set by the writers of the Book of Descriptions, losing their physical form.

But no matter what possibility, it’s unrelated to me.

Becoming a Recorder won’t affect anything, of this I am confident.

Because even now, I’m already half a Recorder, it’s just that my Authority Ability... hasn’t been officially recorded in the Book of Descriptions, but am I disappearing now?"

Si Yujie: "..."

Silence.

Deafening silence.

Chen Lusi watched her beautiful face without speaking, and also didn’t dare to let go of her.

Because she always felt, if she let go at this moment... Si Yujie might sink directly to the bottom of the sea.

After a long while.

Si Yujie took a deep breath, her red lips parted slightly and finally spoke.

She blushed and said, "Can you pretend you didn’t hear what was just said?"

And just as she asked.

Before Chen Lusi could answer.

Si Yujie seemed to remember something, looked down at their embracing bodies, her face slightly reddening, and denied, "... Doesn’t seem feasible, the impact has already been made."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"Can it be considered as my impulsive nonsense?"

She looked up again, gazed into Chen Lusi’s distinct features, and continued without waiting for his answer, "Doesn’t seem feasible either, how could I be impulsive twice, and it was still my initiative..."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"Then..."

Si Yujie seemed like she still wanted to say something.

Chen Lusi sighed lightly, "Sister Siyu, what happened can’t be treated as if it didn’t..."

"Ugh... I know I know!"

Si Yujie’s composure instantly collapsed, exclaiming lowly, her beautiful face instantly turned red, as she lifted her hand and started hitting Chen Lusi’s shoulder, "Can’t you let me escape for a moment? I just acted like an idiot, can’t you let me escape for a moment!?"

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, "It’s not impossible..."

"Don’t talk!"

Si Yujie glared at Chen Lusi with a peach-colored face, directly interrupting him.

Chen Lusi could only close his mouth.

After all... in this kind of situation, it’s indeed necessary to let her calm down for a while.

But as soon as he had this thought.

He saw Si Yujie purse her luscious red lips, then release one hand from his neck, take a deep breath, and held his face... and kissed him forcefully.

Chen Lusi’s eyes widened: "..."

Si Yujie paid no attention, closing her beautiful eyes... and pried open Chen Lusi’s mouth.

Chen Lusi: "???"

... After another ten or so seconds.

"Alright."

Si Yujie slowly lifted her head, her beautiful face still stained with a blush, looked at Chen Lusi, and declared, "This time, there’s no reason, I’m really going all in."

At this moment, Chen Lusi really didn’t know what to say, his expression was a mix of confusion and helplessness, a face as if he had lost hope for life.

Of course, there was quite a bit of strangeness as well.

And Si Yujie had always been observing his expression, naturally noticing the strangeness on his face, along with the most obvious hopelessness.

But there was no aversion or rejection.

"Pfft..."

Si Yujie’s mature, alluring physique slowly relaxed, then exchanged a glance with Chen Lusi, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Soon after.

Her laughter became increasingly unrestrained, shoulders gently shaking, tremors shaking like blossoms.

Chen Lusi felt even more helpless.

As Si Yujie laughed, she raised her fair arm again, wrapped it around Chen Lusi’s neck, with all her force hugging her, breathless, "I really did something stupid, I never imagined I’d have a day like this, thinking you’d act stupidly all on my own, operating fiercely as a tiger, only to realize I was the one doing something stupid, the mature woman’s aura shattered, haha..."

Chen Lusi wrapped her soft delicate body, silent for a moment, "It’s okay, in my heart, you’re still that Si Yujie."

Si Yujie, with lingering laughter, tilted her head and asked, "Which one?"

Chen Lusi replied, "The mature woman."

"But what if sometimes I don’t want to be a mature woman, what do I do?"

Si Yujie hugged tighter and slightly arched her back, drawing her luscious red lips close to Chen Lusi’s.

But this time she didn’t kiss Chen Lusi, there were still a few centimeters between their lips.

Warm breath sprayed on his face.

Chen Lusi wanted to turn his head, "You ask me what to do about this..."

"I don’t regret it, you know."

Si Yujie smiled, tightened the fair arm around her neck, mischievously not allowing her to turn her head, at the same time saying, "Although it was really stupid, when I heard your explanation just now, I wanted to find a crack to crawl in, but that thought only lasted a few seconds... because maybe that was just an excuse.

An excuse I made for myself, so I choose to keep making mistakes, not looking for any excuses.

What I just did, all that I said, I don’t regret any of it.

So..."

As she said that.

This demurely graceful, charming and pretty mature woman named Si Yujie showed Chen Lusi an enchanting shy smile, softly saying, "I’m still waiting for your answer, no need to rush, I can wait."

Chen Lusi looked at the mature woman in front of him, somewhat in a daze.

Until.

"And also..."

Si Yujie’s voice sounded again, her shy expression replaced by a mischievous smile. She leaned forward slowly, her warm and soft cheek against Chen Lusi’s face as she whispered in his ear: "Your hand can move down... does it feel good?"

A faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

Chen Lusi then realized his hand was supporting her perky behind and immediately moved it upwards as if shocked, wrapping his arm back around her slender waist.

"..."

Si Yujie noticed and chuckled again, causing her warm and soft body pressed against Chen Lusi to tremble gently.

Chen Lusi suspected she was doing it on purpose but had no evidence.

They tussled for quite some time.

Si Yujie finally stopped laughing and raised her head again: "Alright, let’s go back, or Tang Language, that idiot, will start to suspect something."

"...Mm."

Chen Lusi nodded.

At this moment, he could only nod.

Actually.

He was still in a state of confusion.

"Anyway, this is the happiest moment I’ve had in years. No matter what, thank you."

Si Yujie spoke while gently freeing herself from Chen Lusi’s embrace, supporting her own shoulders, easily floating in the water.

Chen Lusi looked at Si Yujie floating in the water and fell silent.

"Mm, I can swim."

Si Yujie’s stunning face revealed a captivating smile: "It’s part of the plan."

Chen Lusi sighed: "...So what is actually real?"

Si Yujie thought for a moment, tilted her head, and said: "My figure?"

Chen Lusi glared at her.

"Okay, everything else is real, and why are you glaring at me?"

Si Yujie glared back at him: "Isn’t my figure real? You’ve already..."

Chen Lusi quickly interrupted her: "Alright, no need to say more."

But Si Yujie had no intention of letting him go.

She glanced down at the sea in front of them and teasingly said: "Okay, but by the way... Xiaoyan and the others are still on the shore, can you get to land anytime soon?"

"..."

Chen Lusi’s face once again showed a look of utter resignation.

He didn’t want to talk anymore.

...

Finally.

Nearly twenty minutes later.

The two returned to the shore.

On the shore, a few people were still playing with sand, not noticing anything unusual.

Maybe Tang Language had that kind of magic power.

She could pull women of any age into her familiar realm.

"Such fools."

Si Yujie gently gathered her soaked long hair, wringing out the water, as she glanced at Tang Language and the others in the distance and helplessly cursed.

As she left the sea.

Left the environment where the two were alone.

She seemed to revert to that indifferent and aloof persona who loved slacking off...

"You stay here and cool down for a while. The way you treated me is fine, I don’t mind... but others are different, I’ll go find them."

Si Yujie suddenly turned around, looked at Chen Lusi, left a parting sentence, smiled, and directly walked in the direction where Tang Language and the others were.

Chen Lusi looked at Si Yujie’s flawless and enchanting back, inexplicably retracting his previous thoughts.

Alright, she hadn’t changed back at all.

"Hey, Si Yujie... where’s your coat?"

"What’s it to you?"

"Did you sneak off to swim?"

"..."

On the other side.

As Si Yujie approached.

Tang Language’s voice followed.

Chen Lusi listened to the distant conversation, turned around, looked at the rising tide, and thought about the previous events, shaking his head with a mix of amusement and frustration.

...An answer?

Buzz—

A vibration came.

Chen Lusi’s thoughts abruptly stopped.

He paused for a moment, then raised his hand slightly, and his phone fell from the void into his palm.

...A message from Ji Xin.

Concise and direct.

"You’re not at Jiming Temple, where are you?"

Chen Lusi saw Ji Xin’s discovered message, his expression stiffened, and he sighed again, informing him of his location and explaining what had happened not long ago.

Of course.

He didn’t dare to mention anything about promising her not to go to Yellow Springs.

When Ji Xin received the reply, he paused for quite a while before responding: "...Understood, then I won’t act as an uninvited guest, but tomorrow, please come to find me, you must come find me [angry]."

Chen Lusi looked at the rare... expression from Ji Xin attached to the message, put away his phone, and let out a bitter smile.

Alright.

Just as one wave subsides, another rises...

"Chen Lusi!!!"

Tang Language’s voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

Chen Lusi turned around and saw Tang Language in a plain white dress, running over to him playfully...

Chen Lusi: "..."

Better not worry about tomorrow now.

Tonight’s dilemma... is a problem.

He sighed, then turned again to look towards the horizon.

The night was about to fall.
