Chapter 40: The Love of My Life

Chapter 40: The Love of My Life

  I remember someone once said, if a girl is inexperienced, take her to see the world.

If she has experienced much, take her to enjoy simple pleasures.

Gu Changsheng wasn't good at chasing girls.

Wasn't this making it difficult for him?

  In both his past life and this one, it had always been the girls who chased him.

  The most romantic thing that Gu Changsheng can think of is probably to grow old with her little by little.

  Gu Changsheng looked at the cold and beautiful figure in front of him, who was waving the rapier in the wind with complicated eyes.

  He acknowledged that upon learning Mu Wan's identity, his approach had become distinctly utilitarian, yet an ordinary person's life spans only a few decades.

At most, he would spend his lifetime with her.

Can this be considered a debt?

My heart and actions are transparent like a mirror, and everything I do is just.

  ...

  Just like this, Gu Changsheng settled down in Tianshui City.

  Not long after, there was a family called Xiao next to the Mu family.

  At the same time, a new store named "Friendly Wine Shop" opened in Tianshui City.

  Any ordinary pursuit, if maintained for over a hundred years,

  Can rightfully be called mastery.

  In the art of winemaking, Gu Changsheng embodies this principle.

  Without a doubt, no one in Tianshui City can surpass him.

  "Why are you looking at me like that?"

  The grand opening of the new store was lively. Mu Wan, wearing a veil, had a few strands of black hair on her forehead that were now slightly damp with sweat.

  Their eyes met; she gazed into Gu Changsheng's eyes and softly asked in a cold voice.

  Gu Changsheng's heart suddenly trembled for some reason. The look just now... made him suddenly feel that she was actually quite gentle.

  If you can marry a wife like this, it seems pretty good.

  "Nothing." Gu Changsheng shook his head and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

  "By the way, where is Senior Mu?" he suddenly asked.

"I don't know. I just came back a few days ago, and I don't know where he went again," Mu Wan replied, also slightly puzzled.

  But she was only slightly puzzled.

She had been used to Mu Luoxian's disappearance from time to time since she was a child. She was used to it.

  Anyway, as a Innate warrior, it was difficult for any accidents to happen.

  "By the way, didn't you say you had something to do in Tianshui City? Why did you open a store now?" Mu Wan suddenly remembered this and asked him.

  "I'm done with my work. The scenery in Tianshui City is quite nice. I want to stay here for a while." Gu Changsheng said softly.

  "Stay for a while?" Mu Wan looked at him with her star-like eyes.

  "Yes, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe..."

  Gu Changsheng paused and also looked at her. When their eyes met, he silently said in his heart:

"Maybe it's a lifetime, silly girl."

  Of course, this is not his lifetime, but Mu Wan's lifetime.

  He and Mu Luoxian had "three rules".

  Mu Luoxian did not object to his pursuit of Mu Wan.

  As long as Mu Wan agreed, he would not care.

  But Gu Changsheng also swears to protect Mu Wan and not let her get hurt.

  This is the three rules that the two of them made in the library that night.

  Gu Changsheng was already a top-notch warrior, so breaking through the innate realm was not a problem.

  As long as he could marry Mu Wan, the innate method would be at his fingertips.

And he acquired a wife with a beautiful face essentially for free.

This deal can't be called anything but excellent! It's simply like making a fortune!

Is it worth it?

Of course, it's worth it!

For anyone, this is worth it.

If he didn't have the immortal fruit, he would have been just an ordinary person, or simply an ordinary mortal.

  A beautiful woman like Mu Wan was simply impossible for him to get.

  But now, there is a great possibility that she will belong to him.

  Gu Changsheng's wife!   

  ...

  There is a wine shop that Gu Changsheng just made when he was free.

  He himself didn't care too much about it, and he had only been in business for a few days, and would close from time to time, and would rarely open the door.

  Outside Tianshui City,

Green grass and clear lakeside.

The waters, rivers, and lakes near Tianshui City are all remarkably clear,

They are also exceptionally beautiful and spectacular.

It's like the water from the sky flowing back to the world.

  Therefore, it is named Tianshui City.

  The clouds drift across the sky, while the breeze rustles through the green grass, offering a view of the horses below.

A gentle breeze arrived, and Gu Changsheng and Mu Wan sat side by side.

  The wind blew the robes and strands of black hair of the two people.

  Gu Changsheng was still holding a green leaf in his hand, which he put to his mouth and blew gently to make a sound.

  "In the past, now, the past will never come back..."

  "Red, fallen leaves, buried in the dust..."

  "The beginning and the end, always, no change..."

  "You drift in the sky, outside the white clouds..."

  "..."

  "What song are you playing?" she asked curiously after he finished.

  Gu Changsheng looked at her eyes that were like stars scattered in the world.

  There was a lot of tenderness in his eyes, and he said to her:

  "The love of my life."

  "It sounds very good." Mu Wan gave her own evaluation.

  Gu Changsheng: "..."

  No, is this about whether it sounds good or not?

He displayed it so plainly. This expression, he had been brewing it for a long time, and it was the love of his life.

  Didn't you hear this?

  No way, sister, sister Mu, sister Mu!

  He might really not chase other girls.

  Gu Changsheng couldn't do it.

  He had no idea what to do next.

  After all, he had been handsome throughout his childhood and adulthood in both lives, and he had never encountered this situation before. This clearly touched a blind spot in his knowledge.

  "Is this the song you composed?"

  "I guess so."

  Gu Changsheng picked up a flat stone and threw it hard at the clear lake.

  The stone bounced on the water, drawing an arc, very far.

  "Alas..."

  Gu Changsheng sighed softly, leaned back, and lay on the grass, his head resting on his hands, with a piece of grass in his mouth.

  "Mu Wan, if a boy really likes a girl, what should he do?"

  After thinking about it, Gu Changsheng chose to ask her directly.

  "Why are you asking me this?" Mu Wan looked at him strangely.

  How could she, a girl who had never married, know this.

  "That's right, I... I have a friend!"

Gu Changsheng suddenly remembered that he could "invoke a friend's name" or "mention a friend".

  He sat up from the ground and looked straight at Mu Wan.

  "When I was traveling in the world, I met a friend who found that he liked a girl next to him, but didn't know how to say it. What do you think is the right thing to do?"

  "Does the girl like him?"

  "I don't know, that's why I'm asking."

  "..."
