Wei Yi looked at the smiling face of the girl before him, his heart filled with satisfaction. Although Wenchuan said he was immature, he did not refute her. He wanted Wenchuan to continue to smile like this. He just wanted to bring her joy, wanted to keep a bright smile on his face.
Seeing Wangchuan's brilliant smile, Wei Yi opened his mouth and said, "Accompany this Regional Commander to a place today."
"Where to?" Wu Chuan asked doubtfully.
Wei Yi had a suspenseful expression as a light smile hung on his face. "You'll know once we get there."
Wei Yi stretched out his hand and grabbed onto Wu Chuan's hand before he could say anything. Wu Chuan's hand held onto his sword all year round, and there were a few large calluses on his palm. As Wei Yi touched them, he felt an endless heartache.
In the carriage.
Along the way, Wangchuan's carriage jolted about, and he had been completely befuddled by Wei Yi. How could he be alright? He had even left the city.
Wei Yi had been tightly holding onto Wu Chuan the entire way back, and just like that, he was holding onto Wu Chuan. He could feel the warmth radiating from the center of his palm, and he felt extremely at ease.
In next to no time, they'd arrived at the place where Wei Yi carefully pulled Wu Chuan off the carriage.
Landing in front of him was a small house on a mountain. There was not a single person around, only this place. From time to time, one could only hear the sound of birds flying, and the sound of insects shattering in the forest.
On the other hand, the surroundings of the house were filled with large areas of peach trees. It was currently the season when the peach blossoms bloomed.
Wu Chuan was stunned as he looked at the room. "This …"
"We had it built months ago." Wei Yi pushed open the courtyard door. "Let's go in and take a look."
Although Wenchuan was puzzled, before he could say anything, Wei Yi pulled open the door and walked in.
As they entered the courtyard, Wei Yi led Wangchuan around the courtyard while explaining, "I've specially ordered people to stay in this kind of peach tree. Once spring arrives, the peach blossoms will bloom, and this would be the most beautiful place in this kind of sea of snow.
To the right of the courtyard was a stone table, and beside the stone table were several stone stools.
Wei Yi pointed at the stone table and the stone bench. "We can always play chess here. If any guests come, we can also properly entertain them." Not far from the stone table was a grape arbor. Wei Yi pointed at the grape arbour and said, "That's the grape arbour. On summer nights, we can put a chair under the arbour and then look at the stars and the moon under the arbour."
Wei Yi pulled Wangchuan along and told her everything about the furnishings in the yard.
Wu Chuan looked at the yard and then looked at the chattering man beside her. She was so moved that she couldn't speak and could only nod in agreement.
Wei Yi showed her around the courtyard, then took her hand and entered the house.
Upon entering the house, Wu Chuan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the floor. The construction inside was extremely elegant and one could tell with a glance that it was Wei Yi's favorite style.
This place had obviously been meticulously arranged by Wei Yi, and Wei Yi could be considered to have expended an unfathomable amount of effort.
Wangchuan couldn't help but feel moved when he saw this. He looked at Wei Yi and said, "Thousand years old, why did you want to build such a house?"
"We know that you don't like to make noise, but this quiet place is more suitable for you. In the future, when there's nothing else to do, you can come live here, although it's not as complete as it is outside, but it's not rare, when we get married, we can have a child and live here. Normally, the two of us can take care of our children together, and the family of three can enjoy themselves." Wei Yi continued speaking to himself, but it was obvious from Wangchuan's words that his eyes were filled with boundless yearning.
Everyone said that if you wanted to see a person's feelings for you, you only needed to look at his eyes to know.
Although Wangchuan didn't have as many things on his mind as Wei Yi did, he still really wanted to live a good life with him. This house was indeed a good choice.
However, she had absolutely never expected that Wei Yi would actually be wholeheartedly thinking about their future. This was something that Wu Chuan had never even thought of before.
Wangchuan was at a loss what to do. The more Wei Yi was like this, the more he feared that all of this was just a sudden dream, a dream of drunkenness and death.
Noticing that Wangchuan's expression had changed, Wei Yan pulled his hand, "I know what you're thinking, so you don't have to feel anything. Since I'm happy about you, I naturally want to give you the best in the world. So I'm too anxious. We can wait."
"No …" Wu Chuan started to get anxious. "There's no need to wait, it's just …"
"Ugh …" Wei Yi had already sealed off Wu Chuan's words before he could finish his sentence. He muttered to her lips, "No matter what you're thinking in your heart, your heart is already full. I don't care, but you are now my man!"
Wei Yi held on tightly to Wu Chuan, deepening this kiss.
After that kiss, Wangchuan's mind was completely blank. He stared blankly at Wei Yi, the words just leaving his mouth …
Although she didn't know what she was feeling, she knew that the man in front of her couldn't wait to give her his heart and liver. He wouldn't lie to her.
How can I not love you when I have your man in the future?
Wu Chuan stepped forward and embraced Wei Yi. "A thousand years … "Thank you."
"..."
By the time he returned to the estate, it was already nightfall.
Today, Wei Yi had already moved him many times.
Wei Yi was truly the first. The more it was about this, the more he couldn't understand why Wei Yi liked a girl like her.
When it was time for dinner, Wei Yi prepared a serving of Wu Chuan's preferred dishes before placing the chopsticks into Wu Chuan's bowl one after another.
In just a short moment, a tall bowl was piled within Wu Chuan's bowl. Seeing that Wei Yi still hadn't stopped eating, he spoke up to interrupt him. "Thousand years old, I can't take this anymore."
After listening to Wu Chuan's explanation, Wei Yi knew that the bowl was already full. He then placed his bowl in front of Wu Chuan and continued picking up the dishes. "Eat more. After you're done eating, rest early. We've been running around for the entire day."
Wei Yi had not gone to the imperial court for the past few days, and had instead been surrounding him the entire time. Hence, he was extremely puzzled and asked, "You haven't gone to the imperial court recently, what's going on?"
"The governor has taken a leave of absence from the emperor. He has thought about living a small life." Wei Yi said calmly, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be any more normal.
Wu Chuan frowned when he heard this, "Actually, you don't have to …"
"This Regional Commander has long hated all kinds of people in this imperial court. I still have to thank you. If it wasn't for you, this Regional Commander really wouldn't have had an excuse to leave this place unscathed." Wei Yi interrupted Wu Chuan as he spoke.
He didn't need to think to know what he wanted to say, he was just afraid that he would affect him.
Eight hundred years ago, Wei Yi had already lost the will to go to court. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live until today, and not just anyone could survive in this court.
The private struggle was not over.
Wei Yi was still able to accept it at first, but the older he got, the more he didn't want to get involved in these meaningless matters.
Forgotten was rendered speechless by Wei Yi's words.
"Alright, you don't have to worry about him." Alright, you don't have to worry about him. Wei Yi picked up his chopsticks and lightly knocked on Wu Chuan's head.
Wu Chuan painfully covered his forehead and said, "That was silly."
"It's good that you're stupid. If you're too smart, then this Regional Commander really doesn't know how to fool you."
At the dining table, Wangchuan and Wei Yi occasionally made a scene, bustling with noise and excitement.
The next day.
Since Wu Chuan hadn't practiced for a long time, he got up and went to the bamboo forest. Just as he started to move, he was interrupted by the sound of a girl kneeling on the ground.
"You are?" Wu Chuan kept his sword and stood straight behind him.
Wu Chuan recognized her when she raised her head. She was like the girl who had rescued her from the lake the other day. When he saw her beside Shu Yingxue last time, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you here? Why are you kneeling on the ground? Hurry up and get up. "
"If it wasn't for the girl last time, this servant would have died in the lake." Qiu Ju was kneeling on the ground. Although she was being pulled by Wu Chuan, she didn't move the slightest bit …
Wu Chuan never took this kind of thing to heart in the first place. The past was also the past, and now she also didn't understand why she came today to express her gratitude.
"This servant dares to ask Miss Shu to accept me as her servant. When I was following Miss Shu, although I didn't do anything bad for her, I've already disliked many of the girls in the mansion, including the time I fell into the water. Now that Miss Shu has left the Wei Mansion, this servant really has nowhere to go, I'm afraid I'll be chased out in a few days." As Qiuju spoke, her tears had stopped flowing. As she spoke, she choked with sobs.
He couldn't stand a girl crying, so he helped her up, "Don't cry, let's talk slowly."
She sobbed a few times, "This servant still has a mother who is very ill, and is supported by this servant's monthly allowance. If this servant gets chased out of the house, this servant's mother …" "Please accept me, this servant knows that thousand years will be the wedding day, even if I have to stay in the mansion as a juggling maid, this servant really cannot be chased out of the mansion …"
Seeing Qiuju's snot and tears, Wenchuan could not bear it.
Although Wu Chuan and Wei Yi were engaged, she was not the actual wife. She might not be able to speak, and since Qiuju was crying like this, the pain in her heart was not easy to bear.
Just when he didn't know what to do, Su He happened to pass by Wu Chuan with a plate of scriptures. Wu Chuan's head grew hot and he called out to him, "Butler Su."
Su He originally did not even raise his head. However, when he heard Wu Chuan's shout and saw that it was from Wu Chuan, he walked a few steps closer and asked, "Miss Wu Chuan, what's the matter?"
"That... I have a presumptuous request. " Wu Chuan did not know how to explain it, but looking at the beautiful scene, he could not bear it anymore. He closed his eyes, opened them, and asked: "Is Housekeeper Su in charge of the household's matters?"
Su He was stunned for a moment, then nodded his head, looked at Forgetfulness, then looked at Qiuju, as if he understood something, and said: "In a few days, after Miss has a thousand years of marriage, I will send some maids to help you, at that time, I will pay attention to her and put her on the list. Now I still have to send the scripture for a thousand years, so I won't accompany Miss any further." After saying that, he left without looking back.
