Only one step away!

·

In the afternoon, Chen Yan suddenly had a whimsical idea and decided to go for a stroll alone in the back mountain, not allowing anyone to follow.

He said he wanted to experience that carefree and leisurely feeling of walking alone in the rainy woods.

Once he thought of it, he did it, and in a flash, he was gone.

This time, Gu Qingyi didn’t forcefully pursue him but waited until Chen Yan left, glanced at Chu Keqing who had become silent in the living room, and walked over.

After Chen Yan left, the gentle and charming smile on Chu Keqing’s face immediately disappeared.

As Gu Qingyi approached, Chu Keqing immediately stood straight and lowered her head cautiously.

Although her posture was respectful, given Gu Qingyi’s high cultivation, his Divine Sense still felt Chu Keqing’s intense vigilance and alertness.

This woman’s current posture was as if she had encountered a natural enemy.

"I want to talk to you," Gu Qingyi said in a muffled voice.

Chu Keqing sighed, "Please speak, senior."

"...Drop the act!" Gu Qingyi said coldly, "My cultivation is higher than Chen Yan’s, your act can’t escape my Divine Sense. This pretentious submissiveness, are you afraid I’ll pick a fight as an excuse to deal with you?"

Chu Keqing suddenly laughed, she slowly stood straight, looked at Gu Qingyi, and then sighed lightly, "Alright, since you say so, I won’t pretend. Besides... keeping up this act is quite tiring."

Gu Qingyi sneered, "Not calling me senior anymore?"

"...You should be younger than me," Chu Keqing slowly said these words.

Gu Qingyi frowned.

"Actually, all along, that guy Chen Yan has been toying with me. At first, he lied to me, saying he was a monster over ninety years old."

Gu Qingyi grinned, "You believed it?"

"I did!" Chu Keqing smiled helplessly, "His cultivation is so high, and he knows many spells. My skills are already rare in this world, but in front of him, I’m like a child, not a match at all.

I thought at the time, he must be an old monster with profound cultivation, just maintaining his youthful appearance through some magical cultivation technique."

"What happened later?"

"Later, over time, with more contact, I slowly saw through it," Chu Keqing said with a bitter smile, "The difference between young people and old people is not just the surface.

Their speech, demeanor, and most importantly, the mental realm, the way they present themselves...

Chen Yan’s words and actions don’t resemble an old monster at all; he doesn’t have that... well, a sense of decline."

Gu Qingyi was a bit curious, "You didn’t expose him?"

"Of course not," Chu Keqing smiled lightly, "I deeply admire him; if he likes to deceive me for fun, let’s treat it as his amusement. I’ll obediently play along.

If everything was exposed, he might find me uninteresting and ignore me; I’d cry myself to sleep."

Gu Qingyi kept a cold face, "So now you’ve gotten what you wanted? You’ve stayed by his side, waiting for an opportunity, and you’ve finally got it.

But isn’t this taking advantage of a vulnerable situation? Do you think he truly has affection for you?"

Chu Keqing stared at Gu Qingyi, looking for a long while, then suddenly burst out laughing.

Gu Qingyi, originally frowning, was disarmed by Chu Keqing’s laughter, feeling somewhat flustered, "Is what I said funny?!"

"No, no, don’t take it the wrong way.

I’m not laughing because your words are wrong... but because hearing you say this, I can really confirm you’re quite a young girl."

"What do you mean?"

"Young girls tend to see matters between men and women as pure, just like you described. Um... pure."

After pausing, Chu Keqing surprisingly came over, gently took Gu Qingyi’s hand, and sat her down.

Gu Qingyi looked embarrassed, wanting to shake off her hand, but being pulled down by a smiling face, she ultimately sat down with Chu Keqing.

"I know, you must look down on me, thinking I’m quite shameless.

Clinging onto Chen Yan, knowing he doesn’t like me, aware he’s merely sad and indulgent because of Lu Sisi’s departure, yet I still approach him. So, in your mind, I’m probably a shameless woman?"

Chu Keqing’s gentle words made Gu Qingyi a bit uncomfortable, "Well... I wasn’t thinking about it as harshly as you said, it’s just..."

"It’s okay, I understand. And...", Chu Keqing smiled gently, "Besides, I don’t mind."

Then, she sighed before continuing.

"I know that’s what you think, and I’m willing to admit, my feelings for Chen Yan aren’t pure and free from any impurities of romantic love.

I have affection, admiration, and worship for him, and besides that, there’s a sense of utilitarianism, for example, finding shelter, seeking reliance...

In the eyes of girls your age, you probably think romantic feelings shouldn’t have these things, they should be pure, without any added conditions, you love me, I love you, right?

So, Lu Sisi’s feelings for Chen Yan are actually like this. That girl purely admires Chen Yan, without a shred of impurity, all her heart likes him, loves him, for him she can forsake any repayment, not plot anything, just be by his side and treat him well.
