Chapter 2461 - 2456 Side Story: Ji Xiuran (1/2)

It was winter and heavy snow fluttered from the sky like goose feathers throughout the entire day.

In the rear courtyard of the headquarters of Emperor Ji’s faction:

Ji Xiuran was wearing a thick overcoat while his head of long hair was casually draped behind him.

Currently, the man was kneeling down and meticulously caring for the fruits and vegetables he personally planted.

“Brother Xiuran, are you planning to retire and return to civilian life?”

Worriless Nie asked from her seat in the courtyard as she watched Ji Xiuran, who had quite a few splatters of rain and snow on his body.

She didn’t understand why this man planted these fruits and vegetables.

“Retire and return to civilian life…?” Ji Xiuran murmured softly, startled.

“Mhm, retire and return to civilian life,” Worriless Nie said jokingly.

“What? Is this the life you want?” Ji Xiuran turned to Worriless Nie.

“The life I want…” Worriless Nie pondered for a moment with her chin propped on her hand. “A few fields, three meals of salted vegetables, working from sunrise to sunset… Ordinary and peaceful.”

Ji Xiuran smiled. “Are you willing to leave it all behind?”

“Why wouldn’t I? You though—are you willing to leave it all behind?” Worriless Nie asked Ji Xiuran.

Ji Xiuran was startled. “Your future includes me too?”

“Of course!” Worriless Nie dashed forward and looped her arm around his arm. “I can be without everyone… I just can’t go without you in my life.”

“But I’m not willing.” Ji Xiuran shook his head.

The anticipation in Worriless Nie’s eyes instantly turned into an indescribable emotion.

“I’m not willing to make you eat only pickled vegetables for all three meals, so how about we add some sweet and sour spare ribs?” Ji Xiuran chuckled lightly.

“…” F*ck, what’s going on with this man?!
