??Dong Yunshu and Li Yi were the only ones left in the yard. The two looked at each other but did not speak freely because they were the only ones left. Instead, they fell into silence.
??Silence is the theme of their relationship, and communication is never necessary for them.
Li Yi closed his eyes again, enjoying his rare nap. Dong Yunshu brought a small stool and sat next to Li Yi, without making too much noise, just sitting there quietly.
??The rustling sound of leaves in the wind, the crisp calls of birds, the chirping of insects, and the two people could feel each other's breathing.
??It was as if I had returned to my previous life. There was no need for too much words or physical contact. I just needed to feel each other's presence.
??After an unknown amount of time, Li Yi woke up from his nap. The sun was no longer as strong as it was at noon. He turned his head slightly and saw a pair of clear eyes staring at him. He didn't know how long they had been staring at him.
??Li Yi asked: "Have you been watching me sleep?"
??When sleeping, Li Yi turns off all his senses, leaving only the natural senses that will not affect his sleep, otherwise it is no different from being awake.
Dong Yunshu tilted his head slightly to the right, looking a little puzzled, and said, "Is it not possible?"
??“It’s up to you.” Li Yi really couldn’t say no to Xue Ye on such a small matter.
Dong Yunshu asked again: "Brother Li likes to sleep? Is this also a form of spiritual practice?"
??She could sense that in order to sleep, Li Yi closed all his senses and even his soul to achieve true sleep.
??“I just feel comfortable this way.” Li Yi shook his head and replied.
??The practice in the eyes of the world has no meaning to him now. What Dong Yunshu said should be at a higher level and belong to the understanding of Tao.
??Some people sat in front of the Buddha for a thousand years, and suddenly they became enlightened and became Arhats.
??Some people have experienced all the sufferings of the world, and suddenly attain enlightenment and become gods.
??There are also people who eat and drink, play around in the world, and comprehend many magical powers. Li Yi belongs to this type, practicing every moment and improving his understanding of Tao. Unfortunately, this situation only lasted until he was four thousand years old. Since then, it has been difficult to improve even a little bit, and he can only find a sense of progress from those magical powers.
??He hasn't practiced for a long time and doesn't know where to go.
??Li Yi turned over, took out his mobile phone and started watching videos, turning over and scratching his butt from time to time.
??Dong Yunshu sat quietly beside him just like before.
She felt that Li Yi had changed a lot. He used to be like an immortal wandering in the mortal world. Although he wandered in the mortal world, he was not stained by the mortal world at all.
??Li Hua once said: Whether it is curing diseases and saving lives, or doing justice, it is always an act of righteousness, and Dong Yunshu indeed felt it.
But now Li Yi seemed like a complete mortal, completely integrated into the mundane world, and the snowy night did not show any incongruity. Even the slightly irritable mood when he just woke up, and the boredom of watching videos at this moment, were exactly the same as those of a mortal.
??How did he do it?
??It is difficult to leave the world, and it is even more difficult to enter it.
The longer a person lives, the harder it is for them to reintegrate into the secular world. They have become accustomed to the coldness of the mountains, and to the dozens of springs, summers, autumns and winters that pass by. It is almost impossible for them to become mortals again. Even if they lose all their cultivation, they cannot change this situation.
??It’s like a PhD who loses all his academic qualifications and goes back to primary school. He will not be unable to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, let alone be exhausted by counting his fingers.
??Dong Yunshu did not ask any questions, but just looked at Li Yi quietly, his eyes never leaving him for a moment.
??Tao cannot be explained through words but can only be understood through the heart.
??night.
??Li Yi saw that Dong Yunshu had not left yet, so he asked, "Are you really planning to stay overnight?"
??“Is it not possible?” Dong Yunshu’s eyes were as clear as ever.
??The area is so large that the investigation will definitely take several days.
??“…” Li Yi finally nodded and said, “Okay, but there is only one bed in my room. If you don’t mind, you can sleep on mine, or on my parents’.”
??"I……"
Dong Yunshu was about to say that she didn't need to sleep and could just find a place to sit. But she hesitated because she heard "You can sleep with me."
??These words kept echoing in her mind.
??If...if I want to sleep, can I sleep in Brother Li’s bed?
??I am really too smart.
"I won't cause any trouble to my uncle and aunt."
"Then you sleep with me."
??Li Yi entered his parents’ room, lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
??On the other side, Dong Yunshu stood nervously beside the bed, looking at the single bed with the quilt and pillow neatly folded, not knowing where to start for a moment.
??She joined the Tianjian Sect when she was young, and she had not slept since she established her foundation at the age of seven. Sleeping was a very unfamiliar thing to her.
??The delicate hand touched the quilt, and the scent of Li Yi came from it.
??Brother Li, please allow me to overstep my bounds once more.
??Dong Yunshu was lying on the bed with her whole body curled up in the quilt, not even her head showing. Her body was pressed against the quilt, her hair was scattered, leaving her scent on the bed.
??Slowly she closed her eyes and fell asleep without any precautions.
??It was magical, this was the first time she fell asleep since she started practicing.
??In the next room, Li Yi opened his eyes and felt the energy coming from next door.
"It seems I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Dong Yunshu must be in a critical period, and he must not be disturbed by anyone. For safety reasons, he decided to play with his phone all night.
