Lu Sisi picked up her phone, planning to delete that message.
A new message alert popped up again on the chat app.
Lu Sisi frowned and glanced at it.
The third long message, from the same person.
Chen Yan smiled without saying anything—he fully trusted Lu Sisi’s character and integrity, and trusted his girlfriend to handle such matters well. He would only step in if there were trouble.
Lu Sisi thought for a moment and didn’t even bother to read the messages, she directly made a voice call and put it on speaker.
Soon, the call was answered.
Lu Sisi coldly interrupted the other person’s words, "Do you think you’re exceptionally affectionate?"
"You know I have a boyfriend, yet you send me such irrelevant messages. Do you think you’re especially affectionate, a deep lover? Or do you think I’m the kind of girl who’s not committed to relationships and would fall for someone else easily?"
"I didn’t mean that, I, I just felt that, I think your temperament is quite serene, and your boyfriend, someone who does business in society, is slick and worldly, might not truly understand you, but I can..." The boy obviously had this script prepared, quickly expressing his thoughts.
"Hmm, my closest boyfriend doesn’t understand me, yet some stranger who’s known me for a few days particularly gets me?" Lu Sisi sneered.
Then, this usually gentle-natured girl spoke relentlessly, "Now I’m telling you clearly, my relationship with my boyfriend is good, very good!
As for your so-called sincere affection, whether genuine or fake, please stop it if it’s genuine, and if it’s fake, please don’t act it out with me anymore. Your words and actions have already offended me and disturbed my life! Please be respectful and stay away from me in the future."
After saying this, Lu Sisi directly hung up and swiftly blocked the number.
After putting down the phone, Lu Sisi finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head to see Chen Yan looking at her with an expression of surprise.
Feeling slightly uneasy, Lu Sisi asked, "What’s wrong? Was I too aggressive earlier?"
Chen Yan shook his head and smiled, "I’m just curious, you’re usually so gentle, how did you suddenly become so fierce and assertive just now?"
Lu Sisi pursed her lips, gazing at Chen Yan with an ounce of grievance. She moved closer to Chen Yan and said softly, "Chen Yan, in my heart, you’re the most important person in the world! The most important thing in the world is our relationship!
I won’t get anxious or excited about other things,
But if it involves you or our relationship, I’ll definitely get worked up!"
Chen Yan sighed, turning his hand to hold Lu Sisi’s hand—he could fully feel the deep affection the girl had for him.
After a while, Lu Sisi asked with some guilt, "Was I really that aggressive just now?"
"It was alright." Chen Yan laughed, "Actually, you did a merit."
"Reducing one more obsessive admirer in the world counts as one more person freed from suffering."
Chen Yan never concealed his disdain for obsessive admirers.
For instance, last year when the X cat incident caused a lot of public discussion, Chen Yan showed empathy for the tragic experience of those involved, but not a bit of sympathy.
People choose how they live their lives.
Soybeans stewed with pig’s trotters was served; the trotters had been stewed to perfection, soft and tender, with a mouthful of gelatinous texture and an abundance of collagen. The aroma of the soybeans permeated through them as well.
With this dish, Lu Sisi’s appetite opened up, and she unusually ate a bowl of rice.
After dinner, the girl pushed Chen Yan forcefully out of the kitchen, made him a cup of fruit tea, and went off humming a tune to wash the dishes.
"You cook, I clean~" Lu Sisi said sweetly to Chen Yan with a smile as she washed the dishes.
Chen Yan sipped the fruit tea, watching his girlfriend diligently wash dishes by the sink, a warm feeling rose in his heart—the presence of someone at home, this was what he enjoyed the most.
The fruit tea was richly flavored, filled with the fruits Lu Sisi had washed and cut herself after returning that afternoon.
After finishing a cup of tea, Lu Sisi had already tidied up the kitchen, wiping her hands as she walked out.
Chen Yan glanced at the time, it was not yet eight o’clock in the evening. He thought for a moment and said earnestly, "Come with me for a bit."
"Hmm?" Lu Sisi was a bit curious, but seeing Chen Yan’s serious expression, she let him pull her out of the kitchen and headed to the basement.
They arrived in the basement training room, Chen Yan pulled over two cushions, and let them sit facing each other.
"Previously, you told me that before Gu Qingyi left, she taught you cultivation, but you didn’t succeed." Chen Yan looked at Lu Sisi seriously, "Now I want to ask you seriously: Do you want to cultivate?"
"Yes." Lu Sisi nodded earnestly, "I do."
Chen Yan looked at Lu Sisi, "Why?"
"I want to be able to be with you for a longer time." Lu Sisi said softly.
Chen Yan was moved, looking at Lu Sisi with some surprise. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel_fіre.net
"Sister Gu told me some things about cultivators, with your cultivation, you can live for a very long time, and you can maintain a youthful appearance for a long time, so I..."
Lu Sisi paused at this point, then slowly and softly said, "But... I’m just an ordinary person."
Chen Yan was stunned.
Then he heard Lu Sisi speak softly, "I’m eighteen now, you’re twenty-two, our ages and appearances seem well-matched.
But in thirty years... no, in twenty years, I’ll be thirty-eight, I’ll have wrinkles, and be close to a middle-aged woman. But you’ll still look like a twenty-year-old youth.
