Chapter 101: Confession before Separation

At the moment they landed, both of them felt as if a century had passed. The wooden boat is still floating upside down in the lake, the crescent moon is no longer visible above, and the eastern sky appears slightly white. All of this is not a dream. Everything can only be considered as a dream. At dawn, they each have their own paths to follow.

After taking off their damp and cold clothes in the guest room, the two of them put on their clothes and burned a charcoal fire. Li Changsheng asked, "Ziyu, you haven't slept all night. Don't you sleep for a while?"

Shen Ziyu smiled and said, "We don't have time anymore. It's already dawn. After breakfast, I left the Louguantai Taoist Temple. Speaking of breakfast, you said before that when you become wealthy, you will treat me to a meal of authentic Cantonese breakfast tea. Have you not forgotten?"

Li Changsheng immediately remembered his promise and smiled, "I haven't forgotten what I said. I will treat you to the most luxurious restaurant in Guangzhou for a meal!"

Shen Ziyu smiled and said, "You are a person who keeps his word. As the ancients said, words spoken by those who keep their word spread quickly, and even the fastest carriage cannot catch up. I am waiting for the day when I will have the best morning tea."

Li Changsheng said, "I'll be here with you for the last half of the day."

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Shen Ziyu reached out to cover Li Changsheng's mouth and said, "It's not the last half of the day, but many days. We will have many days together in the future."

Shen Ziyu slowly walked over and changed from facing each other to sitting side by side with Li Changsheng. Her face was as red as the morning glow in the sky, and she leaned weakly against his embrace. Because the two of them were about to part ways today, she couldn't help but feel the love in her heart and whispered, "Changsheng, you know my feelings for you, but I don't know how you feel for me?"

Li Changsheng held her on his legs with rough hands and looked her in the eyes, sighing, "Why did you jump into the water from the boat? Your feelings towards me at that time were my feelings towards you at this moment."

Shen Ziyu whispered, "I thought you were killed by bandits in the water. It was only then that I realized my inner thoughts. I couldn't live in a world without you. If you weren't here, all my efforts and achievements in this world would be meaningless."

Li Changsheng hugged the beautiful woman in his arms tightly, Whispered in her ear: "With your beauty, intelligence, and family background, I used to have no high expectations of you. Now I have thoughts about you. But can you abandon your family and have the opportunity to shine in the business and political circles, and live with me in a Taoist temple in the mountains? Can I let go of my dream of learning Taoist martial arts for many years and go with you to the capital to live a life of high society? We both have our own desires. I don't know what to do?"

Shen Ziyu leaned her head against his broad chest and listened to his strong heartbeat, whispering, "I don't want to be just friends with you. I want to become family with you. You need time to go to the mountains for cultivation, and I also need time to contribute to my family. We have agreed to have breakfast together at the restaurant called Shanhaitian in Guangzhou on the winter solstice in three years, and then we can start over."
