High Martial Arts: Invincibility Begins with Fishing Through the Heavens

Chapter 633

Nie Zhisen remained silent.

However, he knew that Xu Qinghuan would not take Fu Yanshi to the cemetery.

……

On the way back to Dongyue Bay, the atmosphere in the car was tense.

Aside from the sounds of their playful banter, the two of them barely exchanged a single word.

In fact, Fu Yanshi not only prepared things for the memorial service, but he also bought a good burial plot, thinking that if Xu Qinghuan was willing, her mother could be moved there for burial.

But it was clear that she wouldn't even allow herself to look at the tombstone.

The car stopped at the entrance of Dongyue Bay. Fu Yanshi got out of the car first, carrying Tuantuan, followed by Yuanyuan and Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan wanted to strike up a conversation with Fu Yanshi, but seeing that he didn't turn around, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

He took the two children to the indoor playground, leaving her alone in the living room.

Xu Qinghuan knew that Fu Yanshi was not a person without a temper; he was just enduring it and didn't want to get angry with her.

Sitting on the sofa, she took out her phone and glanced at the calendar.

A month passed quickly, and only half of it remained. Xu Qinghuan didn't want to waste this last bit of time arguing, much less stay angry with him until dawn.

So she changed into her loungewear and went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes herself.

When Fu Yanshi came out, he saw Xu Qinghuan sitting alone in a chair in the restaurant, smiling at him.

In that instant, it seemed as if all the gloom and restlessness had vanished.

He can never do anything about Xu Qinghuan.

"It's been a long time since I've cooked. Would you do me the honor of trying some?" Xu Qinghuan handed him the chopsticks.

As soon as Fu Yanshi pulled out a chair and sat down, he noticed the injury on her hand out of the corner of his eye. The wound wasn't big; she must have accidentally cut herself while chopping vegetables.

She hadn't been in the kitchen in a long time, so she was quite rusty.

"Don't do this again next time." Fu Yanshi took a deep breath and got up to get the medicine box.

Xu Qinghuan obediently let him help bandage her wound, resting her cheek on his arm, "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

"...I'm not angry."

“But you look unhappy!” Xu Qinghuan winked at him. “Smile, you’re not handsome like this.”

Helpless, Fu Yanshi put away the medicine box, then turned back and carried her into the bedroom.

He didn't turn on the light, but instead simply pushed Xu Qinghuan down onto the bed. The afternoon sunlight wasn't so strong anymore, and it dappled through the window, illuminating her delicate face.

Their eyes met, and after a long while, he sighed.

"I'm not angry, I'm just wondering why."

"Don't think about it." He'll find out in two weeks anyway.

"Are you blaming me for not being there for you when your mother passed away?" Fu Yanshi was also feeling very sad when he thought about this. "I swear, I really didn't know about your mother's passing."

If he knew, he would never have left Xu Qinghuan's side!

"I don't resent you! So much time has passed, you don't need to take it to heart." She gritted her teeth and persevered through those difficult days, and now she just doesn't want to mention them.

"Xu Qinghuan... promise me that you'll face anything with me."

She looked into Fu Yanshi's eyes for a long, long time before speaking softly.

"Who is more important to you, me or your mother?"

"These cannot be compared."

"What if one day, my conflict with her becomes so deep that it's irreconcilable? What would you choose?"

Fu Yanshi's eyes flickered, and he parted his thin lips slightly, "I won't let you suffer any injustice."
