A Rare Leisure

Racing along, the two of them returned to Su City by evening.

Throughout the journey, Chen Shuo had insisted on his view of buying a house to give Su Xiyan a home.

Su Xiyan was naturally touched; she could feel Chen Shuo's sincerity. But she also knew Chen Shuo's financial situation well, and buying a house was no easy feat.

Moreover, for the wealthy Su family, houses were just pieces of property.

Buying another house would be like throwing money away.

It would be better to spend the money on more meaningful things, so Su Xiyan stopped Chen Shuo.

Of course, Chen Shuo wasn't a stubborn person. After Su Xiyan spoke up a few times, he didn't persist.

What he wanted to do was prove to Su Xiyan that he was willing to do anything that could make her happy.

Even if it meant a lot of sacrifice and responsibility, he wouldn't shy away.

Back home, they both collapsed on the sofa, snuggling together. Su Xiyan felt a wave of warmth and comfort, wishing everything could stay in this moment.

As if time had stopped and entered eternity.

Not worrying about any trivial matters, simply living in this comfort.

"Xiyan, do you want to go out and feel the evening breeze?"

Chen Shuo, who had been silent for a while, turned and asked. In his mind, they had never had days like this before.

Every day was either rushing around for trivial matters or thinking about how to become stronger.

Especially recently, Su Xiyan's daily life was all about handling various affairs and how to prevent vampire invasions.

She was nearly stretched to her limits, and such a tight-packed life left Su Xiyan nothing but exhaustion, without any personal enjoyment.

"Feel the evening breeze?" Su Xiyan murmured, somewhat puzzled. Why suddenly think of going out to feel the breeze?

But in her memory, they had never had this kind of life.

Like ordinary couples, taking a walk together after dinner every day, strolling through many places hand in hand.

Discussing dreams while looking forward to the future together.

"Just say if you want to go or not. I'm telling you, opportunities are rare, don't miss them easily."

Chen Shuo stood up as he spoke, reaching out his hand. Su Xiyan hesitated but ultimately didn't refuse.

She also wanted to try this simple life, just like ordinary couples, experiencing life and the world together.

By the city moat of Su City.

In a small third or fourth-tier city, life wasn't as hectic as in big cities. After dinner, quite a few people were strolling by the river during their leisure time.

Perhaps aimless, yet it was the meaning of life.

When you walk too fast in life, you naturally miss a lot of scenery.

Just like by the city moat at this moment, willow catkins drifting with the night breeze, the rustling sound soothing to the soul.

Finding a less crowded spot, Chen Shuo led Su Xiyan to lie down.

Lying on the grass, feeling the breeze on their faces and the fragrance of the grass, that rare comfort and tranquility seemed to take them to the depths of their souls.

This experience was a first for Su Xiyan. She had never imagined that such a simple act of lying down could give one such a sense of liberation from the depths of the heart.

It was like a fully armed warrior, taking off all the equipment and returning to the most relaxed and free state.

"How is it? Pretty nice feeling, right?"

Chen Shuo asked with a smile, holding Su Xiyan's hand tightly, as if holding onto everything.

"Mm, it's very comfortable. I especially love the evening breeze and the fragrance of the grass."

Su Xiyan closed her eyes, feeling everything she was experiencing.

It felt so unreal, yet so genuinely present.

"I'm glad you like it. I'll bring you here often in the future."

"Mm, but whether we can be as leisurely as today in the future is really uncertain."

Saying this, Su Xiyan couldn't help but sigh. She also wanted to be relaxed and free, to go to various places with her loved one like ordinary couples, to experience the beautiful landscapes of their country.

But the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The moment she chose to become a Demon Hunter, it meant she would lose many things.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. This is the iron law of life that no one can avoid.

"Stop right there. Your words are really killing the mood. I brought you out to relax and be at ease, not to talk about other things."

Chen Shuo understood Su Xiyan's implication, but that wasn't what he wanted. He wanted Su Xiyan to get more relaxation in the limited time they had.

Su Xiyan needed to relax; she had been bearing too much alone. At just over twenty years old, she had to shoulder the safety of an entire city. It wasn't fair to her.

Su Xiyan also realized her problem and quickly changed her tone: "Yes, yes, we're here to relax. In the future, I won't mention those things in such a relaxed and comfortable environment."

"That's more like it. We'll bear the responsibilities we should, but we shouldn't miss out on the relaxation we deserve, right?"

Seeing Su Xiyan come around, Chen Shuo was quite satisfied.

Su Xiyan continued to savor this rare comfort, breathing deeply the fragrant air.

"By the way, how did you know that a place like this could cultivate the mind and spirit?"

After a long silence, Su Xiyan broke it.

Faced with Su Xiyan's question, Chen Shuo was slightly taken aback. How could anyone ask such an odd question?

"Wait, isn't this something everyone knows?" Chen Shuo asked helplessly.

"Is it? Then how come I didn't know? You'd better tell the truth, have you brought other women here before?"

Su Xiyan sat up cross-legged, her face full of accusation.

That serious little look in her eyes was like interrogating a deeply sinful criminal.

Faced with this situation, Chen Shuo was also somewhat embarrassed: "Don't be silly, there's nothing like that at all."

"Come on, I see how skillful you are. You must have done this kind of thing many times. Tell me, before me, did you date anyone else? Did you lie on the grass together and share life experiences?"

Su Xiyan's voice grew louder as she spoke, and even her expression became serious.

It was at this moment that Chen Shuo truly felt the reality of an old saying.

A woman's temper is like June weather, it really can change in an instant.

What kind of thought process was this? Just a moment ago, they were enjoying each other's company, and now it had completely turned into an interrogation scene. He had no choice but to answer.

"No, absolutely not. You're my first love, my first girlfriend! I'm very serious, I swear to heaven."

To prove his innocence, Chen Shuo raised two fingers on the spot.

"Swear to heaven? You'd better not. I know that men's mouths are full of lies, not a single word from a man is true. You're so skillful, you must be lying!"
