Chapter 215 A Natural Journey Leads to Dreamland
"Young Master Chu, you've arrived. Are you here to see Li Yu?"
At that moment, a sweet voice entered Chu Chen's ears, startling him so much that he trembled.
"Oh, my dear niece, you're back............"
When Si Wei heard Chu Chen refer to her as his "elder niece," she thought, "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"
So he quickly changed the subject: "Lord Chu... Nephew Chu, about the grain..."
Holy crap, that old man reacted quickly enough, managing to bring the generational gap back right away.
"Don't worry, Lord Si, I will provide you with food the day after tomorrow. You can start by gathering the refugees, then select leaders and manage them in batches."
If the food comes too quickly, Si Wei will think he's a god.
So I could only decline for two days. During those two days, I spent time with him, and then I told him that I had secretly sent someone to bring it over, so I wasn't so insistent anymore.
"That's good, then I can rest assured. Nephew, go and rest with Liyu first, I'll arrange things now."
After saying that, Si Wei waved his hand and, without waiting for Chu Chen to speak, led all the servants out of the room.
At this moment, only Si Liyu and Chu Chen remained in the room.
Chu Chen smiled awkwardly at Si Liyu: "Miss Si, the people are currently suffering greatly, so it's not appropriate to talk about personal matters."
“Young Master Chu, I am but a woman. How can I not pursue what I love?”
"But some things are not orthodox, and even if you obtain them, they will only be fleeting."
With Si Liyu's intelligence, how could she not understand that Chu Chen was saying he couldn't give her a formal title?
But deep down, he simply liked Chu Chen as a person, and he didn't care about any formal status or relationship with him.
"Young Master Chu, even the most beautiful things have their fleeting moments. Once you've had your moment of beauty, you have no regrets."
Hearing these blatant words of love, Chu Chen wondered if this girl was also a time traveler.
Otherwise, how could someone be so love-obsessed?
"Well, Miss Si, let's think about how the people on this mountaintop will fill their stomachs."
Little did she know that these words made Si Liyu like the man in front of her even more.
Not only are they powerful and influential, but they also have the heart of a bodhisattva.
So, without thinking, he hugged Chu Chen tightly.
Feeling the softness behind him, Chu Chen felt a surge of anger.
"Young Master Chu, you must know Li Yu's thoughts, but why are you so heartless?"
Uh, your dad's an official, right? Marrying into an official's family is such a hassle.
But upon closer reflection, Chu Chen realized that he had indeed helped Si Wei quite a bit.
What the hell is going on? Chu Chen felt his mind was a bit confused.
“Miss Si, you don’t need to do this. There are countless talented young men in the Great Xia Dynasty. You are the daughter of the city lord, while I am just a commoner. We are not a good match, and I really cannot give you any title.”
“Young Master Chu, there are indeed countless talented young people in the Great Xia Dynasty, but Chu Chen is the only one.”
“I am different from other women in terms of status. I envy Sister Qinglian and everyone around you. I dream of becoming one of them and being able to be by your side.”
"As long as I'm by your side, what does it matter if I have a formal title or not?"
The scene instantly became beautiful.
This reminded Chu Chen of scenes from those fantastical TV dramas in modern society.
There's a war going on, but the male and female protagonists are all lovey-dovey.
Isn't that the case right now? Outside, the people are suffering terribly, while inside, they're exchanging mushy sweet nothings.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Chu Chen turned around and felt the two huge light bulbs rubbing against his body.
"Miss Si, I cannot promise you anything right now. Let's talk about it later."
"I promised Lord Si I would get him some food, and right now I'm very busy!"
Si Liyu ultimately remained rational and released Chu Chen without hesitation.
“Young Master Chu, go ahead. Whether you manage to get the grain or not, you will always be the most amazing man in my heart.”
Chu Chen chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself, "When have I ever not been powerful?"
He waved to Si Liyu and then flew out of the city lord's mansion.
He walked straight to the bottom of the warehouse and said, "You drunkard, pull me up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chen felt his body fly up and then land on the rooftop with a thud.
He snatched the wine from Chen Qingxuan's hand and gulped it down in one go.
"You drunkard, what do you think of the girls in Cloud Peak City?"
"What? You want to create a Red Romance here in the clouds? Great, I support you."
"Get out, your mind is full of filth."
"Don't you dare steal my drink!"
"This is from Lao Tzu."
"Believe it or not, I'll kick you down..."
After Chen Qingxuan finished speaking, he snatched the wine bottle and gulped down a large mouthful.
Chu Chen finally understood.
That's a good saying. A person who carries a knife is called a knife-wielder, and a person who carries a sword is called a swordsman. If you're talking about love with someone who carries a gourd on their body, then you're in the wrong.
He shook his head, trying to banish the image of Si Liyu from his mind.
Soon after, on the rooftop, two men were drinking, taking turns sips of their drinks.
Chu Chen stared blankly into the distance, suddenly realizing that he might also like that girl.
Otherwise, why would one drink alcohol, or feel sorrow?
As night fell, Chu Chen was thrown to the ground by the drunkard.
Reeking of alcohol, he walked toward the city lord's mansion.
Since she had promised Siwei that she would stay at the City Lord's Mansion for a few days, she shouldn't have disappeared without saying goodbye.
"Nephew Chu, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I would have had to send people to look for you."
Si Wei greeted Chu Chen warmly as he appeared at the City Lord's Mansion.
"Lord Si, the grain has been almost transported and will be delivered to you tomorrow."
"Oh dear, we're family, why are you talking like family? Don't keep bringing up food."
Holy crap, when did we become family? I didn't do anything!
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat."
On the table, several side dishes and a jar of wine had appeared at some point.
Chu Chen had been drinking with the drunkard for a while and was now somewhat tipsy himself.
So he simply sat down and started drinking with Siwei, one cup after another.
As he drank, Chu Chen felt his body being lifted up and placed in a room filled with fragrance.
The next day, Chu Chen shook his aching head and stretched.
The outstretched hand touched something warm.
"Oh shit."
After a while, Chu Chen quietly stared at Si Liyu beside him.
How could you be so foolish?
"No, Young Master Chu, I am happy. I have finally achieved my wish."
"In my heart, you truly are the most amazing man..."
Chu Chen never imagined that one day he would enter someone's heart in this way.
Moreover, this was done without me having any experience whatsoever.
But the die is cast, so let's just keep making the same mistake...
