Chapter 710: He Doesn’t Believe in Life

Yu Shijin didn’t speak and just glanced out the window. He kept his lighter and said coldly, “You don’t have to bother about this.”

With that, he stood up.

Old Master Zhuge threw him a bottle of medicine. “This is for you. It’s enough for a year.”

Yu Shijin didn’t turn around. He just reached out to take it and glanced at Old Master Zhuge. He wanted to know why Old Master Zhuge did this, but he didn’t say anything in the end. He just said, “Thank you.”

Seeing his departing figure, Old Master Zhuge was deep in thought. In the end, he shook his head. “I didn’t want to bother about it initially, but this young lady is much cuter than you. I can’t even reject her.”

A middle-aged man saw Old Master Zhuge muttering and couldn’t help but ask about it.

“A pair of interesting people.” Old Master Zhuge regained his usual cold expression and didn’t talk much on this topic.

…

Su Huiqing was still leaning on the ground, thinking about the wasteland. Once this matter started, it could not end.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she almost didn’t react when she realized that someone had grabbed her wrist.

She instinctively reached out to block it, but unexpectedly, a familiar voice came from above. “Look up, who am I?”

She spoke very slowly, each word low and deep yet pleasant to the ear.

Su Huiqing retracted her hand and silently raised her head to look at that familiar face. She didn’t button her jacket, but her blouse was buttoned up to her neck, exuding a natural coldness and nobility.

Su Huiqing pursed her lips. “Brother Yu.”

“She doesn’t look dumb to me.” Yu Shijin glanced at her, but at least he knew where he was. He didn’t say anything but didn’t let go. He glanced at Yu Qin. “Give me the location.”

Yu Qin knew what was going on. She immediately gave him an address.

Su Huiqing didn’t know what this address meant, but she knew that it was the most famous street overseas.

The street was not far away. The two of them didn’t drive and just walked towards that place.

It was just a few minutes away after all.

When she reached the street, Su Huiqing realized that something was wrong. The number of people here… seemed to have decreased.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination or if it was just because she had been too busy recently that she had turned dumb.

“Missy?” Just as she was thinking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind. “I didn’t expect to meet you again by fate. Do you want me to read your fortune today?”

Su Huiqing turned slightly, and her eyes squinted to look behind her.

A face appeared in front of her. The old man had white hair and a youthful face. He was still recognizable. Moreover, Su Huiqing was famous for having a photographic memory.

“I saw that Missy’s side hasn’t been peaceful recently. I think it’s fate. I’ll read your fortune for free. How about it?” Seeing that the two of them stopped, the old man couldn’t help but put down the calabash in his hand and said with a smile.

She glanced at the elder. “I…”

“Su Huiqing.” Just as Su Huiqing was about to say something, Yu Shijin suddenly lowered his head. His eyes were like exquisite ink. “The milk tea shop is right ahead. Do you want to drink?”

His tone was mild, but there was a rare gentleness.

Su Huiqing glanced at it. It was indeed a brand she often drank. As a person addicted to milk tea, she could not help but feel a little impatient.

Yu Shijin calmly took out some change from his pocket and rubbed her head. “Go buy some. I will wait for you here.”

Actually, it was not that she didn’t know that there was a problem with Yu Shijin’s reaction, but Su Huiqing just didn’t say anything and took the money to buy herself a cup. Indeed, it had been almost a month since she drank milk tea.

“Do you want one?” Before she left, she asked.

Yu Shijin gave her two words: “Original flavor.”

‘Okay.’ Su Huiqing waved her hand, indicating that she understood.

Yu Shijin stood there with a smile on his face. As he watched Su Huiqing’s back view disappear into the corridor, the smile on his face gradually dropped. He then turned sideways and looked at the ruddy man in front of him. “Sir.”

Although his tone was cold—if one listened carefully, one could hear a little respect.

“I was wondering why there was someone I couldn’t read.” That old man didn’t find Yu Shijin’s attitude strange at all. “So it’s you. I haven’t seen you for so many years. Your growth surprised me.”

Yu Shijin’s expression softened.

“However, sometimes, it’s better to believe in fate.” The old man raised the calabash and drank a mouthful of wine. “Look at yourself. You’ve tried so many times but failed. After being reincarnated again and again for so long, it’s time to give up.”

Yu Shijin’s face had already softened, but when he heard the old man’s words, he couldn’t help but look up at the old man and chuckle.

However, there was no smile in his pitch-black eyes. “Life? How can I agree to such a thing? It’s precisely because I can’t accept it that I have to resist. I’m not like you.”

The old man froze.

The two of them remained silent for a long time.

The passers-by avoided them.

In the end, when the old man saw that Su Huiqing was about to return, he glanced at Yu Shijin. “She used the entire Dynasty in exchange for you. If she knew that you were like this, she would definitely wish to turn into ashes on the spot.”

“You should leave.” Yu Shijin remained impassive.

The old man glanced at him and left without saying anything.
