Chapter 199: Aunt Su Wants To Indulge For Once

Su Jingyi raised an eyebrow and, with an inscrutable expression, gazed at the silent Lu Xun beside her. She asked in a calm tone, "Is it that difficult to make a choice? Am I not as good as your demoness, or do I treat you worse than she does? Why do you keep avoiding the topic? Do you have some doubts in your heart?"

Faced with Fairy Su's series of questions, Lu Xun was momentarily caught off guard. He couldn't help but think that Aunt Su's combat power is too strong. While she might not be as hands-on as Sister, she had a penchant for asking sharp questions, each laden with lethal implications. A misstep could easily offend her.

"I'm just thinking, why does it have to be an either-or situation?" Lu Xun pursed his lips, and his profound gaze penetrated into the depths of Su Jingyi's soul, "I don't want to lose either you or her. I just want both of you to stay by my side forever."

Su Jingyi squinted her eyes and said gently, "You know that's impossible. Given the conflicts between Miao Feng and me, you can only choose one of us. Either she leaves, or I do. We'll never peacefully coexist; it's always going to be a matter of needlepoints against the wheat."

With those words, she softly asked, "Little scoundrel, who will you choose in the end? Will it be her or me?"

"I... I..."

Faced with Fairy Su's pressing questions, Lu Xun couldn't help but take a deep breath. Silently, he stood up and pushed open the window of the room. In a poetic and melancholic tone, he recited, "Ever since ancient times, the most affectionate people have been hurt by parting, even more so when it is a cold and lonely autumn day. Where will I be when I wake up tonight? The willow bank, the morning wind and the setting moon. In the years to come, even the best times and scenery will be empty. Even if there are thousands of kinds of charm, who can I tell?"

At the same time, Su Jingyi sat there, listening to his words. The most vulnerable string in her heart was gently plucked by his sad words. The words were filled with the inseparable love between lovers. Loss and separation were interwoven together. The future looked bleak and uncertain.

Am I being too much? He is already in pain and helpless between me and Miao Fengxian, and I am still forcing him to make a choice. Maybe I was wrong. I should not be so impatient...

"Aunt Su."

"Maybe it's my fault. I'm asking the impossible." Lu Xun pursed his lips and said, "Nothing can be held onto in this world. Beauty leaves, flowers leave, trees leave, but for me, the thing that can't be held onto in this world is you and Sister Miao. Even though you both claim you won't leave, you're actually just deceiving me."

"Sigh."

"Never mind, never mind. Such is fate; there's no need to force it." Lu Xun, with a sorrowful expression, started to walk towards the door. Bitterly, he said, "I'll go for a walk outside. I'll be back in a while."

Lu Xun had just opened the door when a plump and delicate body suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Little scoundrel, don't leave."

Su Jingyi held onto his waist tightly, her face pressed against his back. There was a mixture of anxiety and tenderness in her expression as she gently said, "Just now, I was just teasing you; I didn't want to force you to make a choice between us. I know your feelings for me, and I also know your love for her. Aunt Su won't make it difficult for you. Please don't go."

With that, Su Jingyi said impatiently, "Hurry up and close the door."

Lu Xun silently closed the door and then, gently touching her hand that was wrapped around his waist, he said, "Aunt Su, if you spoil me like this, you'll spoil me rotten."

"Does she spoil you?" Su Jingyi asked.

"Sister also spoils me a lot," Lu Xun replied.

"What's the matter?"

"Don't want me to leave?" Fairy Su nestled in his arms, looked up at the close Lu Xun, and said angrily, "I'm coming back, you know."

Hehe. This woman is quite good at pretending. Clearly, she threw herself into my arms, but now she's making it sound like I won't let her leave. So, even a fairy has her own schemes!

"Well..."

"We're already separated often and reunited rarely, so I want to be with Aunt Su all the time, even if we don't talk. Just sitting quietly beside each other is a source of joy for me," Lu Xun smiled and said, "How about staying a little longer? Can you do that?"

In reality, this was the response Fairy Su had been waiting for.

When she was about to leave, she had already begun to regret it. She could educate Yueyan whenever she wanted, but being with her little scoundrel wasn't something that could happen all the time. It required the right time, the right place, and the right circumstances. But words spoken were like spilled water. Unless he insisted on keeping her.

"Little scoundrel."

Su Jingyi glared at him and asked irritably, "Is this how you also tease the demoness?"

"Not too far off."

"I treat everyone the same, but, of course, when I'm with Aunt Su, it's natural for me to favor you more," Lu Xun replied.

Su Jingyi reached up to pinch his cheek gently, saying annoyed, "I'm not an ordinary woman out there. I am the immortal Su Jingyi of this era. Do you really think I can't understand the meaning behind your words?"

After just a few pinches, she let go and hugged him tightly. Her flushed face was pressed against his chest, listening to the thumping of his heart, which seemed surprisingly in sync with her own.

Even the immortal Su Jingyi, couldn't help but reveal her feminine side after experiencing the sweetness of love. At this moment, just the synchrony of their heartbeats made her lips involuntarily curved into a subtle smile.

"Perhaps it's truly fate's arrangement if even our heartbeats are in sync," Su Jingyi said slowly with her head resting on his chest.

Lu Xun didn't respond; he gazed straight at Aunt Su in his arms. After a moment's contemplation, he slowly moved closer to her ear, whispering, "Aunt Su, is it tiring to stand like this? How about... how about we lie down in bed for a while?"

As the words fell, Lu Xun's hand moved gently, pressing on her back.

Already distracted, she lost all her restraint and rationality in an instant. Su Jingyi raised her head, staring blankly at her young lover. Her hazy eyes were filled with mist, and her cheeks were flushed with a fiery glow.

I'm over forty, so I should indulge myself for once.

Suddenly, Su Jingyi imitated Miao Fengxian and hugged his head.
