“No matter how busy I am, you still have to tell me something that big,” Su Xiaoxue said . “I’ve already asked for leave . I’ll come tomorrow . ”
“Alright, tell me what time you’ll be here, and I’ll pick you up at the airport,” Wang Yao said .
After chatting with Su Xiaoxue for a long time, he hung up .
Without him noticing it, there were only two more days before it was his sister’s marriage . Wang Yao thought about it . He posted a message on Weibo so that no one would come and wait for nothing .
Life was a struggle .
Some people chose to die rather than live humbly . Some people chose to live because as long as they were alive, there would be hope and possibilities .
Thousands of miles away in southern Yunnan…
Alive! I am still alive!
A middle-aged man panted heavily .
His face was still a little bit bruised, but it had faded compared to the previous couple of days . Most importantly, he could feel that his body was recovering and the fatal factors in his body were fading . There was nothing better than living . If there was only one thing, it would be to live a happy life .
“Master, I am still alive!” He looked up at the sky . The sun was shining so brightly it was surreal .
Hhah! He was happily laughing . Tears of joy were flowing .
In the mountain village, Jia Zizai went to Zhong Liuchuan’s home alone .
“What are you busy with?” he asked .
“Reading . ” Zhong Liuchuan put down the scripture in his hand . “Do you have something to ask of me?”
“Nothing,” Jia Zizai said . “Just hanging around,”
“Sit down . ” Zhong Liuchuan made him a cup of tea .
“What are you reading? Huangting Jing?” Jia Zizai asked . “Tut, tut, you’ve indeed changed into a different person . ”
“Aren’t you the same?” Zhong Liuchuan asked . “Have some tea . ”
“Thank you . ”
Jia Zizai drank a cup of tea . He carefully looked at Zhong Liuchuan . The man’s appearance had not changed, but his temperament had changed quite a lot . The kind of sharpness he once possessed had been hidden . He used to be like a sword . Now, he had added a sheath on the outside . Inside, he was just as sharp, if not sharper .
“What are you looking at me for?” Zhong Liuchuan asked .
“I’m thinking that if we were to fight again, I would be the one who will lose, right?” Jia Zizai replied .
Zhong Liuchuan just smiled . He had been practicing every day and sparring occasionally with Wang Yao . He had benefited a lot from sparring with a highly skilled person . His vision had broadened by leaps and bounds . The practice on Dongshan Mountain had been of great benefit to him . The neixi in his body, although small, had some structure and great power when he controlled it with his mind . However, as his practice became more profound, he found additional shortcomings . His original fighting mindset had also faded . When there was nothing to do, he would meditate, chant sutras, and drink tea, living the typical lifestyle of a mountain hermit .
“It has been beneficial following Sir, right?” Jia Zizai asked .
“I have benefited a lot, and my life has changed since then,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Oh, don’t tempt me here,” Jia Zizai said . “What do you think I should do to make Sir accept me as an apprentice?”
“Didn’t Sir say to wait for a year? He’ll consider after your heart has become peaceful and calm,” Zhong Liuchuan replied .
“Consider? Does that mean it will depend on my performance?” Jia Zizai asked .
“Yes, that’s what he meant,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
Jia Zizai downed the tea in his cup .
“I am satisfied with my life now,” he said . “I don’t have to worry all day . I don’t need to do things that I hate . I’m going to get two sets of tea sets . I’ll have a cup of tea when I’m free . By the way, I went to the mountain to have a walk today . I found that many parts of the mountains are empty . No one is planting things there . It’s a pity . I’m going to contract two plots of land to plant vegetables, fruits, and so on . It’s going to be all-natural, green, and pollution-free . ”
“Mmm . ” Zhong Liuchuan nodded . He had already contracted a plot of land on Dongshan Mountain . He had planted some vegetables and herbs . He treated it as a pastime . He was very interested and cared about it . In autumn, the growth of those vegetables and herbs was not as ideal as he expected .
“I originally wanted to live next door to you . After thinking about it, Hu Mei and I both…” Jia Zizai paused a moment before saying, “By the way, we got our marriage certificate . Did you know?”
“Congratulations,” Zhong Liuchuan said . He felt that Jia Zizai’s thinking was jumping around too quickly . It seemed that once the burden on his body had been lightened, his mentality had greatly changed .
“Well, why don’t I ask Hu Mei to introduce someone to you? What kind of girls do you like?” Jia Zizai asked .
“Have some tea . ” Zhong Liuchuan poured him a cup of tea .
“What do you mean by this?” Jia Zizai asked . “Hey, could it be that you have a problem with your orientation?”
“What problem? What orientation? You think too much,” Zhong Liuchuan calmly replied .
“Actually, Hu Mei still has some friends,” Jia Zizai said . “There is one I’ve met several times . She’s beautiful, virtuous, and of a suitable age . I’d introduce you guys someday if you’d like . ”
Zhong Liuchuan did not speak . He quietly stared at Jia Zizai .
“I can verify they are not people like us but ordinary people who are absolutely innocent,” Jia Zizai said .
“If there’s nothing else, I still want to read,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Oh, wait, are you free at noon?” Jia Zizai asked
“What is the matter?” Zhong Liuchuan asked .
“At noon, come over to my house for lunch and have a taste of Hu Mei’s craftsmanship . Call Sir along as well,” Jia Zizai said .
“Sir will not be at home at noon,” Zhong Liuchuan said . “He has gone to Haiqu . ”
“That’s OK . You can come alone . We two brothers shall have a drink,” Jia Zizai said .
“I do not drink,” Zhong Liuchuan said . “I thank you for your kindness, but I’ll pass . ”
“OK, another day then,” Jia Zizai said .
He left while humming a little tune . He was happy and blissful .
“That mentality of his!” Zhong Liuchuan smiled .
In Haiqu, Wang Yao looked up and gazed at the sky .
The sky in Haiqu was especially blue .
She is here!
A small dot appeared in the sky and quickly approached . It was an airliner . It soon landed .
A young woman in a pair of jeans and a pink blouse, who was the picture of youth and beauty, got off the plane . She was like a blooming peony with unparalleled grace . Wherever she passed, she was the focus of everyone’s attention, especially the men .
“Beautiful, too beautiful!” A man in a suit was in awe .
“President Zhao? President Zhao?” the man’s assistant asked .
“Do you see that woman?” President Zhao asked .
“Yes,” the assistant replied .
“I have fallen in love with her just after a glance,” President Zhao said .
“President Zhao, your phone call,” the assistant said .
“Don’t you see I am busy?” President Zhao looked up and went toward the woman who looked like the fairy in a painting .
“President Zhao, your phone call,” the assistant said .
“Ugh, that b*tchy woman again!” President Zhao sighed .
“Hello, Wife, I have landed in Haiqu . Yes, I just got off the plane,” he said in a gentle tone . “Don’t worry . I’ll take care of the task this time . Yep, right, right . No problem . You should pay attention to your health over there . Don’t get too tired . Call me if you have any problems . Alright, that’s it . Love you . Hanging up!”
After hanging up, President Zhao began to look around before he had even put his cellphone away . Oh, where is that beauty?
“Sir . ”
“You look beautiful today!” Wang Yao picked up Su Xiaoxue’s suitcase and smiled .
“Thank you,” she said .
“That beautiful lady, excuse me . ” At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man came over to Su Xiaoxue and Wang Yao .
“How do you do? Let me introduce myself, I’m Zhao Changsheng, chairman of Changsheng Group . This is my business card . ” After opening a business card box, he took out a delicate business card and handed it to Su Xiaoxue with both hands .
“Ah, hello, President Zhao,” she replied .
“Well, I think your temperament is very good,” President Zhao said . “Would you be interested in joining our company?”
“I’m not interested, thank you,” Su Xiaoxue said with a smile .
“Maybe you don’t know our company very well yet,” the man said . “About our company…”
Ah… President Zhao suddenly became speechless . He could open his mouth but could not utter a single sound .
“What is happening?” Su Xiaoxue asked
“Shall we go?” Wang Yao suggested .
“Sure!” Su Xiaoxue held Wang Yao’s arm as she walked off smiling .
“Did you come alone this time?” Wang Yao asked
“Yes, my mother wanted Auntie Lian to accompany me, but I told her there was no need for that as I’ll have you here,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Yes, you have me!” Wang Yao nodded .
“President Zhao, what’s the matter with you?” the assistant asked .
“Sir, what’s the matter with that President Zhao?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Well, maybe God thinks he’s too annoying and is asking him to shut up and have a rest,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
Su Xiaoxue laughed happily like a lark .
“He won’t be mute for the rest of his life, will he?” she asked .
“How can that be?” Wang Yao replied . “It’s just that he won’t be able to speak for a while . It’s annoying to see him like that . ”
The two got on the bus and headed for the village .
“Have you eaten?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Why don’t you nap for a while? I will wake you later,” Wang Yao suggested .
“It’s alright, I’m not tired or sleepy,” Su Xiaoxue replied . “How about I accompany you so we can talk a bit?”
Su Xiaoxue asked Wang Yao many questions .
“What? My brother asked you to join the army?” She was shocked .
“Oh, I have accidentally leaked it!” Wang Yao had unintentionally mentioned it . Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxue had instantly caught on .
“Sir, you didn’t go to the battlefield to carry out the mission, did you?” she asked .
“No,” Wang Yao replied .
Su Xiaoxue stared at him for a long time .
“What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me?” he asked .
“Sir, you lied just now,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Noooo!” Wang Yao’s face was a little red .
“Look, your face is red,” Su Xiaoxue said . “Did my brother fool you into going onto the battlegrounds?”
“Hha, aren’t I fine now?” Wang Yao replied .
“Hmph, Su Zhixing!” Su Xiaoxue pouted her little mouth . “You can’t go next time, Sir!”
“Sure, sure!” Wang Yao hurriedly promised . “Don’t go and look for your brother either . I was the one who asked to go . I wanted to go to the jungle in southern Yunnan to have a look thinking maybe I could find some herbs there . ”
“Is that true?” she asked .
“Of course, it’s true,” Wang Yao replied . “Besides, there was no fighting this time . ”
“That’s good,” Su Xiaoxue said .
When the car arrived in the mountain village, Su Xiaoxue took out the gift she had prepared for Wang Yao’s parents from her luggage . It made the two old people very happy . In fact, Su Xiaoxue’s arrival was the main reason they felt exceptionally happy .
“Come on, you shouldn’t have brought something with you!” Zhang Xiuying was more and more satisfied with her future daughter-in-law .
Wang Fenghua was happily smoking . His daughter was going to be married, and his daughter-in-law was joining them . He thought, Isn’t that double happiness? Alas, it would be better if the weddings could be held together!
