Chapter 864: Chapter 850: Recollection Chapter 864: Chapter 850: Recollection “In life, don’t think too much. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Even if the sky falls, we should at least fill our bellies tonight,” Ye Chen said.
Guo Yuyun snorted through her nostrils and said, “Then let’s consummate our marriage tonight.”
Ye Chen was startled and replied, “Are you serious?”
“Of course, I’m serious.”
“That won’t do.”
“Why not?”
Ye Chen explained, “I can’t let you beco a widow. I really can’t guarantee that I’ll co back unscathed this ti. If we really consummate our marriage and sothing happens to , you would be pregnant. How would you remarry? Who would dare to take you?”
A chopstick flew towards him and hit the back of his hand as she blurted out, “Can’t you ever say anything nice? Why is it always nonsense with you?”
Ye Chen rubbed his sore hand and said, “I wish I could say ‘Congratulations and best of luck,’ but this is just the way things are. If sothing actually happens, you really won’t be able to remarry, and I wouldn’t want to live with that guilt.”
“Are you still talking nonsense?” Guo Yuyun shouted.
“This sweet and sour carp isn’t bad. Eating fish heads is good for the brain.”
“So does eating the tail help your tail grow?” Guo Yuyun looked out the window, where the vendors were calling out to sell their barbecue. The weather tonight was quite clear. When she’d co in earlier, she hadn’t really taken a good look, but the streets were bustling.
Soone must be getting married; red lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers kept breaking the tranquility of the town.
“Let’s eat. Don’t keep thinking about consummating the marriage. Now is not the best ti for that,” Ye Chen said.
“Then when is the right ti?”
“At least when there’s no burden on the heart.”
“Will that affect us consummating the marriage?”
“No, it won’t affect us, but I’m afraid I’ll end up looking like a panda coming out of the room tomorrow. If those guys ask how I got to look like this after last night’s consummation, I’d be too embarrassed to say.”
Guo Yuyun pouted upon hearing that.
“Really, even if not a giant panda, I’d still end up looking like a brown bear.”
“Do you still have feelings for Wei Yiling?”
“How could you think that?”
“I heard from Li Mo that you had a chance to consummate your marriage with Ling’er, but you didn’t.”
“Dammit, Li Mo even talked to you about this?”
“So, is it true or not? Do you have unresolved feelings inside, unable to get over that hurdle?”
Ye Chen murmured after hearing this, “You really can imagine things.”
“Do you still have feelings for my sister?”
“Hey, my thing with your sister was a long ti ago.”
“I heard from the Red Demonic Spirit that you had so regrets at the beginning and wanted to stop my sister from marrying Su Zhanze. You planned to confess to my sister the night before her wedding, but that very night, you happened upon my sister and Su Zhanze together, so you gave up.”
“The Red Demonic Spirit told you?”
“Of course, he did. How else would I know?”
“Dammit, it seems I can’t trust anyone.”
“So at that ti, you really wanted to win my sister back, right?”
“Do we really need to discuss this now? Is it aningful?”
“Of course, it is aningful. It at least shows that you can’t let go of my sister.”
“So what if that’s true?”
Guo Yuyun glanced sideways at Ye Chen and said, “Deep inside, you’re still very upset, right?”
“My head hurts,” Ye Chen said, eating with his head down.
“Do you really still have feelings for my sister, unable to let her go?”
“Hey, what do you want to ask? Am I still pining for your sister? Do you think I, a fickle-hearted person, would pine for soone endlessly?”
Guo Yuyun pursed her lips, feeling there was so truth to his words, yet she said, “Actually, my sister still thinks about you. She truly believed you were dead or would never return before she decided to marry Su Zhanze. She hasn’t forgotten about you all these years.”
“What are you trying to say?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“I just want to tell you, that’s how things are.”
“Then what?”
“There’s no ‘then.'”
“Do you want to make miserable, or do you want to make yourself miserable!”
Guo Yuyun gave a cold laugh.
Ye Chen shook his head and sighed, “I really don’t know what you won think about all day. Things that are already in the past must be brought up again and again, causing yourselves pain, and then you can’t stand to see soone else in soone’s heart. Isn’t that masochism?”
“So, between my sister, , and Wei Yiling, who do you have deeper feelings for?”
Ye Chen looked over and said, “You are really stubborn, a super masochist. Otherwise, you wouldn’t ask such a question. Why do you have to compare?”
“I just want to know, that’s all.”
“And what after you know? If I tell you that my feelings for you are the least, that I just wanted to get married to carry on my family lineage, would you be happy?”
Guo Yuyun muttered sothing to herself.
“See, I told you that you’re looking for pain, but you didn’t believe . Now that Wei Yiling has left, you’re still jealous over a dead person. Isn’t that weird?”
“You’re the weird one.”
“The past is past. People need to learn to forget. Forgetting is actually a happy thing. If you hold on to everything you’ve experienced without letting go, how can you face the future?”
“Does this include my sister?”
Ye Chen shook his head and said, “I really don’t know what to say to you anymore. You’ve beco more and more like a woman.” He had already risen to his feet.
“What’s that supposed to an?” Clearly, it was not sothing nice.
“It ans you’re becoming more like a woman.”
“Have you eaten your fill?”
“I need to take a good bath first. It has been quite a while since I had a bath. After a bath, I’ll stroll down the street to see if I’m really over my head in romance and if I can et soone who truly understands .”
Guo Yuyun glared at him.
“Seriously, I’m starting to doubt whether it was right to choose to be with you. You don’t even know what kind of person I am, let alone how much bitterness is in my heart.” Ye Chen had already started to ascend the stairs.
Guo Yuyun sniffed indignantly as Li Mo, having finished his work, ca back. Seeing Ye Chen leaving, he said, “Sect Leader, did you finish your al so quickly?”
“Yes, he finds my talking too much, annoying him. He wants to take a bath, change clothes, and walk down the street to see if he really has too much romantic fortune recently and to bump into soone who truly understands and appreciates him.”
Li Mo quickly replied on hearing this, “Sect Leader just likes to joke around. The person who understands and appreciates him most isn’t right in front of ?”
“You’ve started to learn how to flatter, too.”
Li Mo scratched his head and giggled with a smile.
“Ah, I feel like I’m starting to stink. I really need to change clothes. Otherwise, I’ll be suffocated by my own sll.” Guo Yuyun had already stood up and said, “You’ve been busy all day too. Finish early and rest up. We’ll continue our journey tomorrow.”
After taking a bath and changing his clothes, Ye Chen still felt sowhat troubled. Su Zhanze and the others—were they captured or killed? He still hadn’t figured it out. He wasn’t concerned about Su Zhanze, but about Guo Yuqing.
Tonight, Guo Yuyun’s words agitated him further, and he couldn’t help but worry about Guo Yuqing. Would the Dragon Slaying Clan really kill them? If they were dead, there should be bodies. Or were they really buried alive? He found it hard to believe. Could it be that they were captured by the Dragon Slaying Clan? What would they want with captives?
Walking on the street, his mind began to wander. Of course, he didn’t want anything bad to happen to Guo Yuqing. He thought of so things from a long ti ago. Honestly, he didn’t even know what he felt for the girl. It seed so long ago. Maybe that’s just how people are. The experiences of youth determine what kind of person you beco today.
He knew that it was all in the past and he had accepted it since the day she got married. Although he had done so, his heart seed to hold on to the past, retaining so very important things, things he didn’t want to forget.
When he was troubled, he would unconsciously think of those tis. Perhaps those distant, youthful mories were just that—mories, but they were so sincere, so unforgettable that they would surface out of nowhere in the quiet of the night.
What he truly felt for her, he couldn’t clearly rember. Maybe one’s life should be divided into stages. Although it’s the sa person, each stage is different. There was a stage that belonged to Guo Yuqing, one to Wei Yiling, and another to the mother monkey. He wasn’t sure which stage was the most important. Perhaps every stage was important. Maybe he was just too fickle. People are like that—the person you were yesterday and the person you are today are inherently different.
Why was he thinking about all these ridiculous things? It was all that damn monkey’s fault. Just when he finally managed not to think about it, she suddenly forced those thoughts back into his head. She was truly annoying.
He must be going crazy. He didn’t want to think about those things. He just wanted to live a good life, but that girl had gone and stirred everything up again.
Suddenly, a hand slapped his back from behind, startling Ye Chen.
Guo Yuyun asked, “Your vigilance is so poor. What are you daydreaming about?”
“If you sneak up on like that again, next ti it’ll be a Shadowless Kick from , and you can’t bla ,” Ye Chen said.
“If I were the enemy, you’d be dead by now. Shadowless Kick, ha!”
“You’re really annoying, you know that? Still here to tornt , aren’t you?”
“What, you don’t want to follow you?”
“Are you really afraid that I’ll et soone better and you’ve co out to keep an eye on ?”
“I’m afraid you’ll feel lonely and cold, so I ca out to accompany you,” she said.
Ye Chen laughed coldly and said, “Soone as handso as , feeling lonely and cold?”
Guo Yuyun followed him, heading toward the bustling street.
“Just don’t bump into Xishan Gui’s people. I know he really wants to catch you and take you back to be his bride.”
