Chapter 2701 If I do this, will you be happy?
Nan Yan's steps couldn't help but pause when she saw him. Ruoshui sensed something and looked up to see Li Bu Shang. She immediately bowed and saluted: "Master Li."
Li Bushang walked forward slowly.
"Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine."
As soon as I met those wolf-like eyes, especially in such a dark night, the uneasy feeling in the memory that had been forgotten for a long time once again came to my mind.
Nan Yan subconsciously held her breath.
But, looking at Li Bushang again, Nan Yan still smiled a little and said, "The emperor is hosting a banquet for his ministers tonight, but you didn't go. Why are you wandering around here instead?"
Li Bushang said, "I am not suited to that place."
“…”
"I don't like drinking and joking with others."
It's just like what they just said.
In fact, when he thought about it carefully, even Nan Yan himself couldn't imagine Li Bushan drinking happily and laughing loudly with everyone. In his memory, even when he was very young and followed them, he had never been so indulged in sensual pleasures.
Nan Yan sighed softly in her heart.
Said: "You are still young after all."
“…”
"You should hang out with young people more often. Don't act like an old person at such a young age. That's not good."
Li Bushang looked up at her.
Then he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I am just doing what I want to do."
Nan Yan frowned slightly: "What do you want to do?"
Li Bushang didn't say anything, just lowered his head.
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him in silence for a while, then turned to Ruo Shui and said, "Go to the kitchen first and tell them to prepare the hangover soup."
Ruoshui looked at her, then at Li Bushang, responded and left.
After watching her leave, Nan Yan turned around and looked at Li Bushang.
But Li Bushang also raised his head and looked at her.
When he spoke, his voice seemed a little hoarse, and he whispered, "I thought you wouldn't be alone with me again."
“…”
Nan Yan's breathing became heavier.
She thought for a moment and said softly, "Don't be hurt. What's happened is over."
“…”
"If I don't mention it, then nothing happened."
“…”
"You, you are still the child I watched grow up. This has never changed."
Hearing this, Li Bushang looked up at her, his eyes seemed to be burning with something, he wanted to say something but stopped himself, finally he just gritted his teeth and lowered his head again.
Nan Yan said softly, "I know that although you are young, you are different from ordinary children. In fact, I don't know what you have experienced before you met me."
“…”
"What is it that has kept you from smiling all these years?"
Li Bushang's shoulders twitched slightly.
Still with his head down.
Nan Yan said: "But, my feelings for you have never changed."
Li Bushang asked, "You, what is your feeling towards me, Concubine?"
Nan Yan said: "I hope you can be happy."
“…”
"I hope you can enjoy the happiness of this world."
“…”
"No matter what you want to achieve, no matter how high you reach, whether it's the highest position in the government, or even further, you still live in this mundane world and should enjoy its pleasures to make your life worthwhile."
Li Bushang looked up at her and said, "What is the happiness of the mortal world?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "The world was originally lonely. It's because of people that dust starts flying. It's also because of people's prosperity, business, weddings and funerals that the world is filled with the festive red color. The joys of the world include the simplest eating, drinking and having fun, as well as the joy of men and women loving each other, tying the knot, and warming each other in this lonely world, and growing old together."
Li Bushang lowered his head and clenched his teeth tightly. The tense feeling made his eyes turn red in an instant.
He said in a deep voice: "Are you happy?"
Nan Yan said: "Of course."
“…”
"If I hadn't experienced the joys of this world, how could I have come to you in this way? It's precisely because I've experienced this worldly joy that I hope the people I care about can also be as happy."
“…”
"It doesn't hurt, you're still young."
“…”
"You shouldn't live so seriously and so tired."
Having said that, a look of guilt appeared on Nan Yan's face.
She said, "It's also the Emperor's and my fault. After bringing you back, we only wanted you to become a useful person. Along the way, you probably haven't enjoyed the warmth and happiness that ordinary people should enjoy. But life shouldn't just be about hard work and struggle, life should also have--"
Before she could finish her words, Li Bushang suddenly interrupted her.
"I have."
"What?"
Nan Yan was stunned. Li Bushang looked at her with burning eyes and said in a deep voice, "You said that I have experienced the warmth and happiness that ordinary people should enjoy."
Nan Yan's eyes became softer when she heard this.
She said, "Then, shouldn't you continue to seek your own happiness in this world?"
Li Bushan looked deeper into her eyes and said, "After all, you want me to be with that Xie Jiaojiao, right?"
Hearing that he was finally willing to face the problem, a smile flashed across Nan Yan's face. She smiled and said, "I just hope you can find your own happiness."
“…”
"If Miss Xie is the right person, your life will be different because of accepting this person."
“…”
"Even if, even if it's not her, even if you don't end up with her, it doesn't matter."
“…”
"As long as you are willing to open your heart, take this step, and not get hurt, I believe that sooner or later you will meet someone who is truly worthy of you and can bring you happiness in this world."
“…”
Li Bushang fell silent again.
However, his silence was not a stalemate, but a sign of thinking. Nan Yan could see that under the gloomy sky, his wolf-like eyes were as cold as ever, but they were constantly flashing.
After a long time, he looked up at Nan Yan and said in a deep voice, "If I do this, will you be happy?"
“…”
Nan Yan thought for a moment, then said, "I will be happy for you."
“…”
Hearing this, Li Bushang fell silent again.
At this time, the sound of people talking and laughing came from a distance. It seemed that the banquet was over and everyone had left the main hall.
It’s best not to let others see them talking here alone.
So Nan Yan said, "You, think about it carefully."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Li Bushang stood there, watching her back disappear into the night. His wolf-like eyes flickered with a dim light that was unclear whether it was joy or sorrow. After a long time, he slowly turned around and left.
