Chapter 1459 Returning as the Boss 18

Su Yan and Lan Zhi had a very pleasant conversation, and they even made an appointment to go boating on the lake together in two days.

Lanzhi waited here for half the afternoon, but Lin Zichou didn't come back. She had something to do in the evening, so she had to leave first.

When Su Yan saw that she couldn't help but look at Lin Zichou's residence several times before leaving, he could tell that she was a caring person.

It was the second watch when Lin Zichou came back drunk.

Su Yan was lying on the roof, seeing his staggering steps, but his eyes were somewhat clear.

"Come back so late?"

Lin Zichou looked in the direction of the voice and saw Su Yan on the roof. She was so beautiful in the moonlight that she seemed like a dream.

"What did you do?"

Su Yan's voice came again, and Lin Zichou finally reacted and said slowly: "I was drinking with a few classmates. They didn't pass the imperial examination and are preparing to return home."

"You passed the exam?"

Lin Zichou smiled suddenly, shook his head and said, "I have already entered the government through the relationship with Prince Jing. I know that he will be a wise ruler in the future, so why should I go to a distant place instead of a near one?"

"Then why did you drink so much?" Su Yan always felt that he was unhappy.

Lin Zi heard the rumors and laughed at himself.

"My classmates thought I had no integrity in order to climb the social ladder. I could have taken the imperial examination, but I was eager to become the aide of Prince Jing. However, they did not know that Prince Jing would become the emperor in the future. They thought I would take the imperial examination with dignity. With my knowledge, I would have been the top scorer. But I disappointed them. Sometimes it is better to be drunk than to be sober."

Su Yan heard this and smiled, "You still care about their opinions, which shows that you have gradually integrated into this world. You know very well that what you did is right. Instead of wasting time being a useless sixth-rank official, you might as well be with Prince Jing early on to let him see your talents. Since you are right, go ahead firmly and prove to them that your choice is right."

"I know, I just feel lonely sometimes, as if I have walked through their lives, but they will forget me in the blink of an eye. I remember them, but they don't know that I have appeared in their lives twice."

"People who can become friends will always be friends no matter how many times they start over. Because of birth, aging, sickness and death, you will feel that the people around you are precious, but when your life is long enough, you will find that no matter how amazing the people in your life are, they are just passers-by. I think you have gradually understood the meaning of life, so you start to invest in emotions and care about other people's opinions."

Su Yan's words were like a bolt of thunder that struck Lin Zichou's heart.

Perhaps, he really began to slowly understand the meaning of life, instead of being an immortal and indifferent to the life and death of others.

Unable to empathize with mortals, unable to consider oneself a real mortal.

Seeing that he had understood something, Su Yan smiled and said, "A girl named Lanzhi came to see you today and said she wanted to thank you for saving her life."

Lin Zichou was stunned for a moment before he realized who she was talking about.

"Okay, I get it now."

Lin Zichou has been going out early in the morning for several days in a row. Now he is working in Prince Jing's Mansion, leaving home early and coming back late, and is much busier than before.

Lanzhi came to look for him twice but couldn't find him.

"Actually, you don't have to come and thank him specially. He asked me to tell you not to take it to heart. It's just a small favor."

"It was a piece of cake for him, but for me it was a big thank you to everyone."

"Well, it's rare that you have this intention."

The two had just chatted for a few words when they heard some noise next door.

"He's back?" Lanzhi's eyes lit up, and she looked nervous and shy.

"Let's go and take a look." Su Yan took her hand and walked towards the bamboo house next door.

When they walked over, they saw that Lin Zichou had just packed a bag and looked like he was going on a long journey.

"Are you going on a long trip?"

When Lin Zichou saw the two of them, he glanced at Lanzhi casually, and then said to Su Yan: "The Wei River is flooding, I want to go with Prince Jing to provide disaster relief."

Su Yan hurriedly pulled Lanzhi out and said, "Miss Lanzhi has come to see you several times. Today we finally meet, and you are leaving again."

"Master Zichou, thank you so much for saving my life that day. Lanzhi has no way to repay you, but..."

"It's just a small favor, don't worry about it, Miss Lanzhi. I have something urgent to do, so I won't go into details with you."

"Master Zichou's business is more important, you should go and do your own thing first."

Lin Zichou nodded and looked at Su Yan again. Su Yan had no choice but to remind him, "Be careful."

"I will, and you take care of yourself too."

"Well, leave early and come back early."

Lin Zichou opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just said take care and left in a hurry.

Lanzhi stood aside and kept looking at him, but he didn't even look at her.

She felt a little depressed. Thinking of his identity and then her own identity, it was just a luxury for her.

Besides, Mr. Lin lives next door to the beautiful Miss Su Yan, so how could he possibly fall for me?

At this moment she realized very clearly that there was no possibility between her and Lin Zichou.

Su Yan saw that she was a little disappointed and didn't know how to comfort her.

The goddess has a heart, but King Xiang has no dreams.

It's not easy for her to interfere in matters of the heart, as such things cannot be forced.

Lin Zichou followed Prince Jing to provide disaster relief, and Su Yan was bored living here.

Ever since Lin Zichou left, Lanzhi has never come again and there is no one to talk to her.

Su Yan went to find Zhang Jin again with some wine. Zhang Jin's reputation had become almost known by everyone recently.

Everyone in the world knows him.

Su Yan entered Zhang's house with ease, and the maids around her were already accustomed to her arrival.

Zhang Jin saw her bringing wine again and greeted her with a smile: "Recently, your peach blossom wine is almost more famous than the weapons I made. Several people have asked me who brewed the wine."

Su Yan: "The materials for brewing wine are mine, but it was Lin Zichou who brewed the wine. I dare not take credit for this."

"If it weren't for your Peach Blossom Cottage, he wouldn't be able to brew such a mellow wine. As he gets more powerful, I wonder if he'll be able to drink peach blossom wine again. Why don't we ask him to brew more now before he becomes rich?"

Su Yan: "Pfft, he went to provide disaster relief. You seem to have forgotten his identity as an immortal king."

After Su Yan's reminder, it turned out to be true. He had integrated into the life here. With the change of his mood, he figured out many things, and the days didn't seem to be difficult anymore.

He found joy in his current life and the meaning of living in this world.

It was as if I suddenly became fearless, fearless of life and death.
