Ye Fan decided to go out on a date with Tantai Wanrong.
The location was Hua Hai City, which was also the place where Tantai Wanrong lived and worked. When she was the deputy mayor of Hua Hai City, she often walked around to experience the feeling of being an ordinary person.
Now that she has been cultivating immortality with Ye Fan, she felt somewhat isolated from the mundane world. She wanted to experience what it’s like to go shopping and on a date with someone she liked.
"Ye Fan, please wait a minute, I’ll go make myself presentable. Once I’m ready, we can leave, okay?" Tantai Wanrong seemed to quickly get into the mood. She wanted to put on makeup to make herself look her most beautiful, then leave her house with Ye Fan. She didn’t want to seem like she was unprepared for the date; she wanted to fully immerse herself in the mood.
Ye Fan nodded and said, "Aunt Wanrong, please be quick. I’m just worried that our time together might be too short; I may have to leave at any moment."
"I understand; I don’t expect too much. As long as you are comfortable, it’s all good!" With that, Tantai Wanrong went into the room to apply her makeup.
Ye Fan waited on the sofa, and soon Tantai Wanrong came out from the dressing room. Even though it was a short amount of time, she had beautified herself wonderfully. Upon seeing her, Ye Fan couldn’t help but exhibit a dreamy expression; it was clear he was captivated by the presence Tantai Wanrong presented to him.
"How is it, not pretty?" This was the first time Tantai Wanrong had dressed up so meticulously in front of Ye Fan. She was worried she might not have done something well.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "It’s great, Aunt Wanrong. This is exactly the feeling I want; you’re the most beautiful in my eyes!"
"Always saying such sweet things, I really don’t know how you got such a smooth-talking mouth!" Although there was a note of complaint in Tantai Wanrong’s words, she was still pleased to hear Ye Fan’s compliments, feeling both shy and happy inside.
"Let’s go, let’s not waste time at home. Let’s go out to eat, browse the mall, and buy the things you like. Today, you’re the main focus, and I’ll accompany you no matter what you want to do." Ye Fan’s words revealed a boundless tolerance and affection towards Tantai Wanrong, as if she wasn’t a mature woman today but a charming and infinitely attractive girl.
Tantai Wanrong replied with a happy hum, holding onto Ye Fan’s arm with a face full of happiness as they set out together.
Tantai Wanrong and Ye Fan, chatting and laughing, arrived at the big shopping mall. Ye Fan asked, "What do you want to eat? Is it Japanese food, hotpot, Shandong cuisine, or Sichuan cuisine? Which one would you choose?"
"Whatever you want, I’ll go with your choice. Today is our first official date; let’s have you decide on this special day." Tantai Wanrong showed a girlish charm she had never exhibited before, as if she had transformed into a different person, slightly shy and reserved.
"I already said, you’re the most important today. Eat what you want to eat and do what you want to do. No matter what, you’re the most beautiful today. Let’s go, and wherever you think is good, that’s where we’ll go." Ye Fan, fully exhibiting his gentlemanly demeanor, looked at Tantai Wanrong with eyes full of gentle love.
"Alright, this one looks very tasteful, and the environment is quite special. Let’s go to this one." Tantai Wanrong seemed to have found a restaurant she was very satisfied with, her voice becoming much lighter.
"Okay, this one it is." Ye Fan smiled as he responded to Tantai Wanrong.
Tantai Wanrong ordered the food Ye Fan liked and got a bottle of red wine, saying, "Happiness strikes so suddenly; today is a special day that belongs only to you and me. But originally, we shouldn’t talk about anything else, though I still feel uneasy inside about so many things I don’t understand. True love requires honesty between two people, right?"
Ye Fan seemed to perceive Tantai Wanrong’s concerns; he knew Tantai Wanrong was earnest and sincere towards him, as well as towards Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting, sparing him a lot of trouble. He said, "You, with your little woman’s heart, just speak out, and I’ll answer you as much as I can."
"Today, when Zhao Tianya left, she was still the same, with a bad temper. In fact, she’s still concerned about you, but she has unresolved issues. There are many matters she doesn’t want to lower her pride to ask, hoping you’d change for her yet not knowing how to make that happen. She even mentioned Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting, seemingly full of jealousy. Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting are just kids, without any defenses against her," Zhao Tianya commented.
"Tianya is just a bit too willful. There’s no real rift between us. I try my best to make her happy, but she just doesn’t appreciate it. Every time I look at her, she’s full of sarcasm, so I have no way. However, Tianya isn’t malicious at heart; she’s just a bit sharp-tongued. Don’t mind her too much. I’ll find time to explain things to her. As for Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao, let’s arrange for them to go back to school. It’s more suitable for those two. I’ll visit them when I have time, sparing you from having to worry about them," Ye Fan said.
"Let’s go with what you said. I don’t want to deal with those things anymore, just to help ease your burdens. Since you already have plans, let’s just enjoy our time together without thinking about anything," Tantai Wanrong sighed in relief, quietly looking at Ye Fan.
"I appreciate your thoughts. It’s precisely this that makes me hope more for you to live for yourself. To love yourself well is the greatest way to ease my worries. Once the tribulation passes and life becomes smooth, I’ll have plenty of time to accompany you, every day, here for dinner and scenery watching," Ye Fan said with a smile.
"I really wish that day would come soon," Tantai Wanrong said. "I want to browse the mall, pick out some clothes I like. Ye Fan, you should know, this is what human girls like the most. You wouldn’t stop me, right?"
Ye Fan spread his hands and said, "This is your choice; why would I stop you? As long as you feel good, anything goes. Aunt Wanrong, do what you have in mind—I’m just here as your little sidekick today."
"I never expected you to be so eloquent. I don’t even know how to respond!" Tantai Wanrong gave Ye Fan a sidelong glance, taking Ye Fan with her into the mall. Even though this was the last day before the tribulation, the humans on Earth were unaffected, knowing nothing about what a tribulation was. Ye Fan found himself with a surreal feeling of disconnection from the world before him, realizing that it had become quite foreign to him.
Ye Fan said, "Since starting immortal cultivation, I feel completely detached from the world. Aunt Wanrong, thank you for bringing me back to this ordinary world!"
"Ye Fan, have you thought about where you’ll eventually retire? Perhaps staying in the city is better; seeking some utopia elsewhere might really be just a form of escapism!" Tantai Wanrong said.
