The first time he saw someone as immortal-like, that person was Yun Qian.
"Which one do you like?" Yun Qian asked about something she cared about.
"I like them all."
"Then all of them are my appearance."
"Miss, people can be different when facing different folks; I didnāt ask you to change."
"I know."
"So..." Xu Changāan looked into Yun Qianās eyes: "Missy full of secrets, could you really be this weak? Miss, if you have the ability, get a better constitution, donāt always make me worry."
"Thatās true, Iām really out of energy."
"Iām waiting to be pampered." Xu Changāan said pointedly.
"I donāt know how to cook, you didnāt teach me." Yun Qian stretched out a finger: "Or go back to the island, read the books there, I can teach myself, so you can be pampered."
"I wonāt ask anymore." Xu Changāan listened to Yun Qianās matter-of-fact words and said no more.
He also realized asking further wouldnāt reveal any secrets.
So the topic concerning Miss Yunās past ended here.
Xu Changāan thought about how he said so much about Yun Qianās past was all to solidify his own resolve.
No matter what background she has, as long as he couldnāt ask for details, only vague guesses...
He still could only regard Yun Qian as the most ordinary girl, and do everything possible to enable her cultivation, for self-protection.
So, if Yun Qian really introduced someone like Sect Leader Chaoyun as her backing, maybe... heād give up on letting Yun Qian cultivate.
"Missy keeping tight-lipped is good, or Iād possibly give up." Xu Changāan pulled Yun Qian up by the hand.
"Keeping tight-lipped isnāt important, thereās something tighter." Yun Qian lowered her head and said: "Iām hungry."
"I prepared some snacks."
Xu Changāan then took Yun Qian back under the canopy.
He knelt in front of the table, took out a pre-prepared small stove from under the table, and started brewing wine after putting on gloves.
The fragrance of wine gradually filled the air, Yun Qianās face flushed slightly before even sipping, probably because of the intoxicating scenery.
She picked up a piece of pastry, took a gentle bite, looked at the moonlit lake outside, and said: "I somewhat understand now... why the wives in the books enjoy boating with their husbands."
Xu Changāan smelled the wine aroma, looked at the blushing Yun Qian, and suddenly said: "Miss, this wine isnāt for you to drink."
"Eh?" Yun Qian was taken aback.
Xu Changāan then took out a bottle of juice from underneath the table: "You drink this."
He wouldnāt get drunk, but Yun Qian would, so she shouldnāt drink.
Yun Qian: "..."
The starry sky was beautiful, but in the girlās eyes, there was a bit of dissatisfaction.
Not being able to drink wine, this boating trip for Yun Qian... was bound to be unfulfilling.
But Xu Changāan was very fulfilled.
That night, he understood many things.
So even though it was still night, and the stars could be seen everywhere, for him, it was already dawn, dispelling the fog ahead.
Night turned to day.
The future plans became clear.
His goals were also Yun Qianās goals, so he just had to go with the flow.
But... things never go as Xu Changāan wished.
"I want to drink wine." Yun Qian stared at Xu Changāanās wine cup and said: "Together with you."
"Weāll see the teacher tomorrow." Xu Changāan shook the wine cup.
"Drinking wine is more important than your teacher." Yun Qianās gaze followed the shaking wine cup, thinking that no teacher should stand in the way of her drinking with her husband.
If it did, it shouldnāt exist.
"I just said, miss still has flaws." Xu Changāan curled his lips: "Now that youāre not allowed to drink, you still like it? Earlier you said... youād like anything I let you do."
Yun Qian: "..."
It turned out he was teasing her.
