Chapter 83: Expressing admiration

Li Changsheng sighed and said:"Ah, there is a poem: Life is often far apart! We haven't seen each other for long and we're going to part again."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ziyu immediately felt even more melancholy, and various flavors appeared in her heart. Her face turned red and moist, hesitating for a moment before asking, "Life is often far apart.Who is most close to you? If you don't meet a close friend, who will pity and sigh? This is the line from the famous romantic comedy (Romance of the Western Chamber), right? You always refuse to say it completely."

Li Changsheng remained silent.

Shen Ziyu didn't hear his answer and whispered, "Are you sad that we're about to part？"

Li Changsheng secretly made up his mind and decided to reveal his thoughts to Shen Ziyu. In fact, turning a blind eye to her affection is also a torment to himself.

"Of course I'm sorry to be parted from you. How many close friends can one have in one's life? "Li Changsheng said," But we don't have to be too sad either. We're all young, and there's always time to see each other again."

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Shen Ziyu smiled lightly, with a hint of bitterness in her smile, and muttered, "So you've been treating me like a friend all along！"

She and Li Changsheng have had many common stories since they got along, which has made Shen Ziyu give up on obtaining the supreme treasure of Wen Shi Guan through Li Changsheng, which is the first volume of the Tao Te Ching annotated by Yin Xi. She also gave up the idea of revitalizing the family through his relationship with the Wenshi Taoist Temple.

The first volume of the Tao Te Ching is the true version left by Laozi before his seclusion, rather than a version that has been passed down for 2500 years and has been modified by unknown people. It is said that in that book, there is a method left by Laozi after understanding the truth of the universe, which can make people immortal. People in this world, whether they are kings or ordinary people, will do their best to live forever. No matter who gets this book, there is hope for eternal life.

Shen Ziyu thought that even if people are immortal, if their heart is always filled with regret and pain, then living is meaningless. She waited anxiously for him at the Louguantai Taoist Temple for fifteen days, but he thought they were just friends.

Shen Ziyu felt a warm hand resting on her shoulder, and she turned to find Li Changsheng looking at her.

"Ziyu, I am not a tree or plant that feels dull. Even if I were foolish, I knew your feelings for me. I also hope that we are not just friends, and it would be best for us to be together for life. You are such a wise girl. Can you tell me what will happen when we are together? Do you want to bury your talent and ideals and become a hermit with me in the mountains? If so, your family will use all their strength to prevent us from living together. Should I give up my cultivation and go to the capital to fight in business and politics with you?You know I don't like that kind of life."

Shen Ziyu looked at him foolishly, Gently sigh: "I am in the capital city, and every day I have to engage in infighting with celebrities and conspire against each other. Due to the mission of my family, I have to live in this way. How could I let you go to Beijing with me? But I deeply love you and leaving you makes me miserable. I want to give up my love for you, but my wealth, intelligence, and power cannot help me forget you. The thought of you going to the mountains for cultivation makes me feel empty and lonely Like the ice and snow of the Arctic."
