Chapter 153: Just Here to Say Goodbye
Another month has passed, and as the year draws to a close, the entire north is covered in a blanket of white, with light snow falling from time to time.
During this period, Yun Yao visited You Mountain three times. Apart from the first time when she made a sudden visit, the other two times she went while Su Yuchen was asleep. She would not appear in front of Su Yuchen rashly before everything was settled.
Besides, she also had her own ulterior motives; she really wanted to see if the person she had risked her life to save was truly worth it.
The situation in the capital is not optimistic. Yanshi International and W International, which are under the control of Ge Beiyao, are at risk of being swallowed up by the four major families and HM.
Su Yuchen has almost recovered. If he is truly worth risking her life to save, then she will help him return to the pinnacle of the capital. If he is not...
Then just pretend you're blind.
On this day, Yun Yao appeared at You Mountain. Without using any magic, she walked from the foot of the mountain to the top, making a crunching sound on the ten-centimeter-thick snow. The whole mountain was quiet and ethereal, and she felt a little reluctant to leave.
Her jet-black hair was streaked with the falling snow, making her already exquisitely sculpted face even more captivating. In this mountain setting, she seemed like an elf who had mistakenly descended to earth.
She stood outside Gu Jiuliang's residence, and after a moment of hesitation, she raised her hand to knock on the door.
Yesterday, Gu Jiuliang called to say that Su Yuchen had almost recovered and was determined to return to the capital.
Therefore, Yun Yao came today... to pick him up.
Yun Yao prided herself on being able to read people's hearts, but she couldn't understand Su Yuchen's heart at all.
From the time she came to his door to force him to marry her until now, the two of them have been through thick and thin together. She secretly hoped for his response, but dared not hope for it, because she and Su Yuchen were both heartless people.
She possessed the pride of a god. If she had to resort to any means to win over a mortal, she would rather spend millions of years trying to figure out what kind of bond existed between them.
Thinking this, Yun Yao suppressed her irritation, clasped her hands on her lower abdomen, straightened her chest and raised her head, her eyes filled with an air of dominance over the world.
She is a supreme god, capable of bearing...any outcome!
With a creak, the door opened from the inside.
A tall figure suddenly appeared in Yun Yao's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, Yun Yao finally understood that she wanted to possess Su Yuchen privately.
Seeing that the person in front of her did not react, Yun Yao spoke first.
"Su Yuchen, it's been a long time."
He remained motionless, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
At this moment, Yun Yao was disappointed.
It seems that it really was just wishful thinking on her part.
Her expectations and desires at this moment seemed like a joke for others to enjoy.
Yun Yao's pride wouldn't allow her to show the slightest weakness in front of anyone.
Just as she was about to overpower Su Yuchen with a condescending tone and regain her dignity, she was suddenly pulled into someone's arms. Feeling the warm breath on the top of her head, she was stunned.
"Yun Yao, it's been a long time." Su Yuchen's slightly hoarse voice came through.
Even the ancestor, who had seen countless handsome men, was momentarily stunned. His hands, hanging limply at his sides, seemed at a loss, and he could only tightly grip the hem of Su Yuchen's clothes.
Su Yuchen held Yun Yao in his arms, as if she were a lost treasure that had been found again. Under the falling snow, their hair turned white together.
Yun Yao buried her head in his broad chest, her sharp, hawk-like eyes gradually filled with tenderness and affection, and she raised her hands to hug his back.
Look, she's not blind after all!
Su Yuchen gently stroked Yun Yao's hair. The man who always kept everyone at arm's length finally let down his guard for her, savoring the warmth of her embrace...
For the past two months, he hasn't asked Gu Jiuliang anything about Yun Yao, nor has he searched online on his phone. He's afraid of seeing words he doesn't want to see, which might extinguish the last vestige of his longing.
During those long and arduous years, he had figured out his attitude towards Yun Yao: from initial disgust to worry about her safety, and then to the image of her face appearing in his mind when he smelled death.
He understood that attributing his anxiety and worry to a loss of control was just self-deception.
He was afraid that he had already fallen for this flamboyant and reckless woman.
He dared not ask or look, it was not only an escape, but also a fear; he was afraid... of losing her.
Yun Yao sensed Su Yuchen's deep affection and responded to him gently.
The snowfall abruptly stopped, and the biting wind vanished instantly...
Yun Yao gently pushed Su Yuchen away, her eyes darting away for a moment.
"Cough, if we don't go in soon, that lonely old man Gu Jiuliang will come out and attack." Yun Yao looked up at the person who had already picked up a broom inside the house.
Su Yuchen turned around and followed Yun Yao slowly.
As soon as she entered, a wave of heat hit her, and Yun Yao's cheeks turned red.
Gu Jiuliang stood like a door god, holding a broom in his left hand and a dustpan in his right, looking at the two people who entered with a very resentful expression.
"Hmph, I thought you two were frozen solid!"
Yun Yao: “…”
A threatening look shot towards Gu Jiuliang, and the person who was incredibly arrogant just a second ago immediately wilted, serving tea and water.
"Grandmaster, what brings you here without any prior notice?" Gu Jiuliang said with a fawning expression.
Upon hearing the words "Grandmaster," Su Yuchen's eyes flickered slightly, and he stared intently at Yun Yao.
Yun Yao, who was about to drink water, felt the death stare and almost choked on her own saliva.
Gu Jiuliang is a good-for-nothing who only causes trouble! He never calls himself his ancestor!
Seeing the displeasure flash across Yun Yao's face, Gu Jiuliang knew he had probably caused trouble and quickly changed the subject.
"Hey, Su Yuchen, weren't you in a hurry to leave? Now's the perfect time to go!"
Yun Yao: "..." He seems to have something wrong with his head!
Su Yuchen's gaze remained fixed on Yun Yao's perfect profile.
"I'm in no hurry."
Gu Jiuliang: "..." Grandmaster, I can't help you this time.
Yun Yao was racking her brains trying to figure out how to explain why she had come to Youshan several times but had not seen Su Yuchen. Just as she was lost in thought, someone flicked her forehead.
"Stop making things up, tell the truth."
Yun Yao looked at Su Yuchen with some helplessness and said in one breath, "I've come to take on a disciple and also to ask about your injuries."
Although nothing useful was said, it was indeed the truth.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Su Yuchen didn't allow her to press him any further.
Before Yun Yao could react, her wrist was grabbed.
"Go home."
Seeing his hurried manner, Gu Jiuliang rolled her eyes.
Who just said there was no rush?
"Hey, we're going the same way, let's go together!" Gu Jiuliang called out to their backs.
……
Yun Yao originally intended to take Su Yuchen with her on a flight, but with Gu Jiuliang following behind, she, having just recovered, truly lacked the ability to carry three people.
After repeated discussions, they decided to hike down Youshan Mountain.
Along the way, Gu Jiuliang kept introducing the scenery of Youshan to them. Seeing that they were unmoved, Gu Jiuliang's expression darkened, and she ran ahead to block their way.
“The outside world is not as tranquil as Youshan. If things don’t go your way, the doors of my Youshan Abode are always open for the two of you,” Gu Jiuliang said solemnly.
It turns out he was just there to say goodbye...
