To be honest, I don't want Hsieh Shih-chi to go so far away. Hua Xia is a vast country with abundant resources. There are countless scenic spots for artists to visit. There is no need for her to go abroad. However, if it is a vacation, it is necessary to go abroad. After all, Hsieh Shih-chi is quite special. In China, she is the idol of the younger generation. No matter where she goes, she can be easily recognized. But it is different if she goes abroad. This is because Hsieh Shih-chi's fame is limited to China. It has not spread to the whole world.
Looking at Hsieh Shih-chi's determined face, I swallowed the words that were at the tip of my tongue. "Fine, I will respect your choice!"
"What are you guys up to?"
Sister Ran was a bit depressed. A conflict suddenly occurred out of nowhere. Between lovers, the most taboo is cold war and distance. Although distance makes the heart grow fonder, it is easy to lose the original warmth when the distance is too far.
"Sister Ran, I am just busy with work. I just want some peace and quiet. There is no other meaning. You don't need to be so nervous." Hsieh Shih-chi said snappily.
"What do you mean quiet? Just a moment ago, before Xiao Zhuang came, you were already telling me how good he was and how he was your ideal half. Now you want to avoid him? Isn't that unreasonable?"
Sister Ran said with a straight face. Since I promised her shares, Sister Ran is on the same side as me. So, she is biased towards me.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Sister Ran, is it because he can bring you benefits? That's why you have no bottom line?" Hsieh Shih-chi rolled her eyes and blushed.
Sister Ran still wanted to say something, but I interrupted her. "Enough, Sister Ran. Whether it is a vacation abroad or a music video, it is Xiao Qi's freedom. We have no right to interfere. But when she goes far away, she needs someone to take care of her. You should go with her."
Even if I didn't want to part with Hsieh Shih-chi, the Blood Demon was a hidden danger. Who knew when he would appear. The accident that happened to Elder Guan was the best example. Although I could protect her if she stayed by my side, I couldn't always leave her side. It would be good if she went abroad. That way, the Blood Demon wouldn't have any designs on Hsieh Shih-chi.
Once I get rid of this big worry, I can really sleep peacefully.
Sister Ran was a little puzzled by my quick answer, but she didn't know what to say. After that, all kinds of dishes were placed on the table. From these carefully selected and delicious dishes, I could see Hsieh Shih-chi's thoughts.
I was moved, but I wasn't in a hurry to eat. Instead, I took out a bottle of pills. To be more precise, it was a third-grade pill that could strengthen one's body.
Previously, when I was in the True Martial Hall, I had talked with the Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall. Usually, first-grade and second-grade pills could only be taken by martial artists as they had side effects. Martial artists could still endure the side effects, but for ordinary people, it would have the opposite effect.
Even in the flourishing age of martial arts, third-grade pills were widely accepted and circulated. The price of first-grade and second-grade pills was very low. The main reason was that third-grade pills could be directly taken by ordinary people. It was like a Chinese medicine that didn't have many side effects. Of course, ordinary people's physiques were weaker, so it wasn't suitable for them to be taken frequently. As long as one paid attention to the dosage, it would have a corresponding effect.
"Take this. Take one pill every week. It can strengthen your physique." I passed it to Hsieh Shih-chi and softly instructed her.
"There's no need." Hsieh Shih-chi shook her head.
"Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell you that these pills can also improve your eyesight. It'll be faster and better for treatment." I said seriously.
"Ah!"
When it came to eyesight, Hsieh Shih-chi didn't dare to be careless. After a slight hesitation, she took the pills. "Thank you."
"It's okay. You are a member of my company. This is what I should do."
I forced a smile. Even though I had a good impression of Hsieh Shih-chi, it wasn't to the extent of love. Perhaps, there weren't many unforgettable experiences between us. Now that I was facing Liu Jie and the others, it was understandable that Hsieh Shih-chi was reluctant. I didn't want to give her too much pressure, nor did I want to instill certain ideas in her. That's why I didn't force her.
I was a casual person. Some things should be done naturally.
The meal was a little boring. Although elder sister Ran tried to bring up a topic to change Hsieh Shih-chi's decision, it was to no avail.
After the meal, I said goodbye to Hsieh Shih-chi. Looking at her gradually disappearing figure, I sighed with emotion. One must know how to be content. My original purpose in coming to the capital was to learn martial arts from a master and apologize to Guan Ruolan. Now that Guan Ruolan had become my wife, everything else was just fleeting clouds. I should also be more carefree and not be trapped by love.
Looking at the current situation, the only regret was that I wasn't able to buy the heavenly material and earthly treasure to treat Leng Yue at the auction. However, I had already added the two martial artists' WeChat and told them to contact me as soon as there was any news. I could discuss any conditions they wanted.
Since I had promised Liu Jie and the others that I would return to Nan Yun before New Year's Day, there were only two days left.
I took out my phone and called Guan Ruolan. I asked her if she wanted to return to Nan Yun with me. To my surprise, Guan Ruolan readily agreed. Since Elder Guan had passed away, there was nothing for her to miss in the capital.
"Do you want to buy a house in one or two days?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, brat, you don't need to buy a house. Originally, I wanted to buy a house in the capital because it's close to my grandpa and I can visit him often. But now, it's unnecessary. Moreover, living in Nan Yun is much more comfortable. The air quality is also good. According to your character, no matter how great your achievements are, you will return to your roots in the future. Of course, if I marry a chicken, I will follow the chicken. If I marry a dog, I will follow the dog. Moreover, I plan to sell this house in the capital."
Guan Ruolan rebuked me. I could feel that she wasn't that sad anymore. It was a good sign. After all, people shouldn't always live in the past.
