After the banquet, it wasn't Shen Beian's place to see the guests off.
Shen Beian took the initiative to step forward and see the "elder" off with Gu Nanyan.
Wei Shengsui looked at Shen Bei'an with a very gentle gaze, "I wonder if that dried lily will suit Fifth Master's taste?" His voice was also soft and gentle, as if he were looking at someone through him.
Shen Beian and Gu Nanyan held hands. Shen Beian wasn't very good at social niceties, but he had to admit that the dried lily was indeed very beautiful. He simply said, "Thank you, Second Master Sui. That dried flower is very beautiful. I wonder who made it. It makes me want to go and find out more about it."
As for social niceties, although I'm not very good at them, I know a little bit about them.
After all, in the First World, one needs to know how to speak politely.
The refined young man with graying temples was delighted to hear this. “I made it. If Fifth Master likes it, we can discuss it together sometime when you have some free time.”
Her eyebrows were curved, and her fox-like eyes, which were very similar to Wei Shengxi's, were full of tenderness.
Master Shen: That's just a polite remark, didn't you realize that?
Gu Nanyan grasped Shen Bei'an's hand in return, gently squeezed it, and looked at Shen Bei'an with his deep phoenix eyes.
Gu Nanyan never interfered too much in Shen Bei'an's affairs.
Shen Beian chuckled and said, "Sure, I'll definitely do it when I have time."
Anyway, it's uncertain when it will happen.
"When will Fifth Master have time? I have plenty of time, it just depends on when Fifth Master is free." Wei Sheng Sui's tone was very sincere, and a smile was on his beautiful face.
Fifth Master Shen: Hmm? ??
Wei Shengsui and Shen Bei'an are of the same generation, even though Shen Bei'an is a generation younger than Wei Shengsui.
It was perfectly acceptable for Ke Weisheng to use the humble terms that are used between peers in front of Shen Bei'an.
"Master Sui is joking," Gu Nanyan said, noticing Shen Bei'an's thoughts. "After Ajin and Ashen finished their 100-day celebration, An'an and I were planning to go on a honeymoon to rest. I'm afraid we won't be able to discuss making dried flowers with Master Sui for a while."
Her voice was clear and crisp.
It directly encompasses Shen Bei'an's entire period of time.
Wei Shengsui's eyes flickered slightly, and her expression as she looked at Shen Bei'an remained gentle, her gaze still warm. "Is that so? Then I wish you both a smooth and wonderful honeymoon."
It seems to have a hidden meaning.
But none of this mattered to Master Shen.
Qingran stood beside Wei Shengsui, her eyes dark and brooding. She glanced at Shen Bei'an once before quickly looking away.
Finally, all the guests left.
The Gu and Shen families also left one after another.
The couple decided to go directly to the hot springs.
After changing into bathrobes, the two lay comfortably in the hot spring.
"Yan Yan, why is Wei Sheng Sui targeting me? He can't possibly be planning to take me hostage, can he?" Shen Bei'an felt that Wei Sheng Sui wasn't stupid and shouldn't be able to come up with such a foolish trick.
Gu Nanyan reached out and rubbed Shen Bei'an's neck, showing great goodwill towards Wei Shengsui and An'an.
“He needs someone to whom he can entrust or store his intense emotions, and you happen to meet all his requirements.” Gu Nanyan was initially worried when he learned that Shen Bei’an had received a gift from Wei Shengsui.
But when she noticed that Wei Shengsui had given Shen Bei'an a dried lily, she knew that Wei Shengsui would never harm Shen Bei'an.
In Wei Sheng's heart, the lily represents absolute holiness and absolute purity.
Wei Shengsui learned the technique of making dried lilies from Frenda.
For those born in the Year of the Microbiome, dried lilies are considered taboo.
She didn't even give her own son a single dried lily she made herself at his coming-of-age ceremony, but instead gave it to An'an.
"Why...why?" Shen Bei'an didn't understand.
He knew that Wei Shengsui had someone he loved, but it was a bit absurd to place all his emotions on him, wasn't it?
Putting aside the fact that they are of different genders, he is already married!
Moreover, with such a large age difference, does he really want to pursue me?
Shen Bei'an tensed up instantly.
Gu Nanyan gently pressed Shen Bei'an's shoulder, and Shen Bei'an slumped into Gu Nanyan's arms amidst the mist.
"An'an, you don't need to worry at all." Gu Nanyan spoke softly, her voice much gentler and more reassuring. "Wei Shengsui will not find a substitute. His love for Flanda is absolutely pure and will not allow the slightest blemish."
"He just thinks you are very similar to Frenda. If Frenda were alive, she would be as kind and sincere as you."
"Just treat it as an interaction between peers, and don't overthink it."
That kind of feeling is probably what they call loving someone because of their loved ones.
How ridiculous! A stranger received Wei Sheng's love and affection, while his own son was used as an experimental subject and arbitrarily executed.
Shen Beian breathed a sigh of relief, rolled over and lay on top of Gu Nanyan, kissing his thin lips.
"That scared me to death."
I really shouldn't have followed Xiao Yezi and read those random books.
What a dummies!
If it's true love, how could you bear to find a substitute?
Of course, we don't count obsessive people like Wei Shengsui.
"Yan Yan, if Flanda hadn't died, would Wei Shengsui have been a good father? Would Zixi not be so frail now?"
Shen Beian knew that since the advent of the cell repair device, many traditionally incurable diseases had been cured.
There are also cases where albinism has been cured.
Wei Shengxi was indeed the result of inbreeding, but apart from having albinism, he was otherwise healthy.
His body was so weak because of the large amount of unknown drugs injected into his body.
Gu Nanyan's deep phoenix eyes were placed on Shen Bei'an's handsome face. Due to the mist, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and even the corners of his alluring peach blossom eyes were tinged with a blush.
“I don’t know,” she said softly, “but I do know that Frenda is a very kind person.”
Gu Nanyan's understanding of Flanda came from information and descriptions from others.
All we know is that, aside from the shocking act of disregarding human ethics by being with her own cousin, Frenda does all sorts of charity work.
He even personally went to some impoverished areas to do charity work.
There's absolutely no mistake about the spider web in the Gu family's home.
Frenda is genuinely doing charity work, unlike Qiao Ju who does it for profit.
As Wei Shengsui herself said, it was a blooming, pure lily.
If she were still alive, Zixi... would be a spirited young man, not a lifeless one who seems to have long since disregarded life and death.
The couple didn't discuss these things further. After soaking in the hot spring for a while, Gu Nanyan carried Shen Beian back to their bedroom.
A peaceful life seems to have returned, like the undercurrent before the tide rises, waiting only for the right moment to unleash a colossal wave that will devour everything.
