Chapter 161: Chapter 159: Struggle, Chaotic Flowers Gradually Obscuring the Vision (Part 1)

The gradually setting sun cast a small shadow beside the two of them.

Nan Tianzong turned his head to look at her, his face coincidentally in the dappled sunlight, giving it a rather dreamy appearance.

Unconsciously, Liu Sisi took two steps back to increase the distance between them, then raised her head and squinted at him closely.

He was still as gentle and refined as usual, handsome and elegant. Only his face was overly dreamy, while his beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with affection at the moment.

As if waiting for her answer, he leaned forward slightly, his gaze firmly locked on her.

Liu Sisi suddenly smiled gently and shook her head.

“What’s the point of having all those material things? Brother Nan, you’re missing the point.”

“In this world, everything is the same, gold and silver jewels dazzle the eyes, silk fabrics keep warmth, but too much is also a bad thing. There are too many people pursuing wealth and honor, yet behind it, there is endless decay unseen. As for luxury carriages and horses, and numerous servants, these are all external things. It’s nice to have them as icing on the cake, but fine without them as well.”

“Brother Nan, you’re obsessed, and that’s not good.”

Liu Sisi looked up at him, her eyes calm as if they were vast rivers, making Nan Tianzong suddenly feel so insignificant.

For the first time, his smile gradually faded, and he became silent.

“Sisi, it turns out you see things clearer than I do. Good, very good! Indeed, it’s not bad.”

Then, the two walked on in silence.

They were close to each other, yet they seemed to be on opposite ends of the world. It was as if an invisible thread separated the two.

From time to time, passersby walked past the two of them, hurriedly rushing from one end to the other, then hurriedly passing by them again.

It wasn’t until after the bookstore that Liu Sisi said her goodbyes and left.

“Brother Nan, Sisi has never been an ambitious person. What I hope for and desire is simply to build a home by myself using my own hands. Other than that, I’m not interested. It’s late now, so I’ll go back first. You should take care as well!”

After saying that, she didn’t wait for a response and walked away.

Nan Tianzong opened his mouth as if to call out to her, but in the end, nothing came out.

On her way back, Liu Sisi hitched a ride on a bull-cart.

She also secretly pondered over the meaning behind Nan Tianzong’s sudden question today.

As they passed an occasional villager along the way, she could see people pointing at her. With Sister Guihua having given her a heads-up earlier, Liu Sisi brushed off these people’s gossip with an indifferent glance.

The gossipers who were originally talking dispersed quickly upon being swept by Liu Sisi’s sharp gaze.

She didn’t stop and continued towards her home.

Old Man Li really stopped at nothing! Being targeted by such a person was really troublesome.

However, just as she reached the small path at the entrance of the village, she saw Di Yelei standing there with a livid face and eyes that seemed to spit fire at her, as if he were a jealous husband!

“Where did you go? Who allowed you to go out?”

His face was raging with anger, as if at any moment he would leap forward to tear her apart!

Di Yelei’s gaze was terrifying, causing Liu Sisi to shudder involuntarily.

After a moment, however, she forced herself to straighten up.

“Why are you yelling? I naturally went to the small town. I haven’t gone to work for a few days, so I had to tell people about it, right?”

This was really annoying!
