Chapter 209.1: The Ideal Life (1/2)

Tang Doudou shrugged and looked towards Jun Xin with a depressed expression. “Su Yi told me to be careful of Baili Yu, and now you’re telling me to be careful of Su Yi. I don’t even know who I should listen to anymore.”

“What’s the use in worrying over that? Just associate with whoever you wish, think as you wish!”

“It’s always easy to say but not very easy to do.” Tang Doudou counted her thoughts on her fingers. “I don’t care about the events before I lost my memories, nor do I care about what I thought about those two back then. What I feel now is that neither of them are bad people. They treat me quite well too. Even though I’m not the brightest, I can at least distinguish between those who treat me well and those who don’t. The only frustrating thing is, why does everyone have to keep so many secrets? Couldn’t everyone just be a little more honest?”

How much of it was a scheme? How much of it was sincere!?

“Stinkin’ woman, you’re thinking of it way too simply. Some things can’t be resolved just by being honest. This involves several hundred years of grudges and grace. You should just focus on handling your own matters well and live each day to the fullest.” Jun Xin smiled. This was exactly what he had expected from her. However, this was also good. It’s always the more simple minded person that led the happier life, this has always been the case. He would rather watch her enjoy these simple happinesses than to have her get caught up in those conflicts.

This was the reason he opted to confess those things to her. However, after revealing everything, he discovered that she didn’t mind those things at all.

This was probably the good that resulted from her losing her memories?

“I also want to do that, but trouble insists on seeking me out even if I don’t go looking for it! If it were up to me, I’d get far far away from the Jianghu and then open a small restaurant or something. When I have free time, I’ll cook a little something or stroll around to flirt with young ladies…” Tang Doudou longingly looked towards the blue sky, her eyes filled with little stars. Everytime she thought about that kind of life, she would be captivated and continue daydreaming for quite a while.

As Jun Xin watched, he couldn’t help but laugh a little. He’d guessed that she probably didn’t have much ambition, but he hadn’t imagined it would be to this degree. It was enough that she didn’t want to be the martial arts Alliance Head and also didn’t seem interested in being the Lord of Cloud City, but who knew how Su Yi would react if he found out that the person he had carefully nurtured for twenty years just wanted to be the idling boss of a restaurant?

However, Jun Xin realized that it was exactly the kind of life he yearned for as well after thinking about it carefully.

Peaceful and tranquil, with tasty food everyday too…

The two that were originally still walking had stopped at some point and sat down on a roof. They both propped their chin up with their hands as they gazed towards the distant swirling clouds, where the horizon and the clouds melded into one.

With some birds flying through the sky, the scene was exceptionally calming and tranquil!

“Rumble…“

An inharmonious sound suddenly appeared. Annoyed with the interruption, Tang Doudou immediately pointed at Jun Xin and said, “It’s your stomach that’s growling!”

“It was clearly your stomach that was growling. Stinkin’ woman, don’t randomly fling accusations at the innocent!” Jun Xin also looked at her with distaste. The sound earlier had clearly come from her direction.

“Pei! You think I wouldn’t know if my own stomach growled? It was definitely your stomach! If you were hungry, you should’ve just said so, it’s not like I’d laugh at you!” However, even as she spoke her voice became a little unconvincing. Earlier she had been too dazed out to hear whether it was her or Jun Xin’s stomach that was growling.

“Then, based on what you’re saying, I don’t know my own stomach?”

“Humph! In any case, it was your stomach!”

When Jun Xin saw her huffing childishly like this, all his accumulated stress seemed to disappear. “This young master won’t lower himself to a woman’s level!”

His remark was responded with just another cold humph from Tang Doudou.

They continued to sit on the roof for some time. They both stayed silent and didn’t seem to want to head back.
