Chapter 217: Way to Prolong Life (III)

Long shook his head and held Shi more tightly. “Qingzhou, it’s okay. I was just kidding. How could you not wake up…”

“Mhmm.” Shi responded gently. Then, he said firmly, “Don’t worry. I promise I’ll wake up every morning.”

“Yes!” Long nodded hard. “Qingzhou, are you hungry?”

Shi nodded. “Yes, I’m a little hungry.”

Long took Shi’s clothes and helped him to get dressed.

Shi was happy to let Long serve him.

After quickly dressing Shi, Long held his hand and went outside.

“Wait a minute. I’ll wash myself,” Shi said.

Long patted himself on the head. “Oh, I forgot that.”

Shi smiled and ordered his servant to fetch water.

Long looked at Shi washing up. After Shi finished doing that, he pulled Shi over and gave him a big kiss.

Shi looked at him and didn’t say anything.

Then, Long took Shi’s hand and went outside. “Let’s bask in the sunshine for photosynthesis. Then, we’ll go to have lunch.”

“Hmm?” Shi was stunned. “For what?”

Long laughed and tried to muddle through. “I was just kidding. Let’s go and bask in the sunshine. It’s good for our health.”

Shi narrowed his eyes and didn’t speak.

Long led Shi to the courtyard. He had already placed two reclining chairs for Shi and himself. Shi was dragged there and forced to sit in it.

Shi lay down as Long wished. The sunshine was warm and it really felt great to take a sunbath.

Long looked at Shi with a smile. “How do you feel? Comfortable?”

Shi nodded. “Yes. Not bad.”

Long laughed. Inwardly, he felt nervous and thought that luckily, Shi didn’t ask much about photosynthesis…

Long realized that he needed to pay more attention to what he should say in the future.

It was not a good thing to let Shi know much about his life story, which was too mysterious!

Anyway, Long believed that the man who experienced the past life and the current life was actually himself alone. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain everything.

If the two men in two lives were not the same person, how could they be so alike?

After they basked in the sunshine for a while, the lunch was ready, so Long said, “Qingzhou, let’s go to have lunch.”

Shi nodded and was pulled up by Long.

As they went to the restaurant, Liu and Ouyang also went that way.

Long felt his whole body was aching when he saw Liu.

His strange reaction was noticed by Shi, who was by his side. Shi narrowed his eyes. “What’s the matter?”

“Ahem. Nothing.” Long coughed awkwardly before turning to Ouyang and Liu. “Why are you here?”

Liu said with a smile, “Aren’t we welcome to have lunch with you?”

Long curled his lips. “Why not? Come in.”

Shi looked at Liu significantly.

“Hmm?” Liu was stunned and looked at Shi.

Shi had already looked away.

Liu blinked. He looked at Ouyang and said softly, “Why do I feel… he’s hostile?”

Ouyang looked at Liu with a smile. “You asked for it.”

Liu felt embarrassed.

They went into the restaurant together. While eating, Long didn’t care about Liu and Ouyang at all. He just focused on putting food in Shi’s bowl.

Shi didn’t refuse and enjoyed Long’s service.

Long was very happy to do that. When he saw his empress ate the food he served, he would feel happier than he ate that himself.

In the modern society, there was a saying that people in love would lose their marbles and they always looked silly.

Long didn’t believe it back then. But at this moment, he found that he had become one of them, so he had to believe it!

Liu and Ouyang took a look at each other. Both of them thought that Long was so silly.

So they stopped watching and focusing on eating.

Anyway, they knew that this emperor had always been “easygoing” and did not pay much attention to etiquette.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be friends with him and they even wouldn’t be alive by now!

After lunch, Ying Feng reported some information from the imperial palace to Long. There were several memorials that needed him to deal with, so Long followed Ying Feng to the study.

Liu did not leave because of the eye contact with Shi.

Once Long left, Shi said, “What did you say to him?”

Liu said, “Nothing bad…”

Then, Liu told him about the idea of dredging Long’s meridians. Shi was slightly stunned and frowned. Then, he said calmly, “Let him choose for himself. It’s meaningless to live so long.”

Liu didn’t expect Shi to say so, but he also saw Shi’s love for Long from his words. Liu knew that this man didn’t want Long to suffer.

Liu said seriously, “It can not only prolong his life. Most importantly, you know, people with great internal strength seldom get sick. It’ll be good for his health. If he doesn’t have a healthy body now, he’ll suffer a lot when he grows old. Now that he’s young, he can bear the pain and improve himself. Then he can enjoy happiness in his old age.”

Shi didn’t say anything.

“I’m doing it for his own good,” Liu said seriously.

Shi pursed his lips. “I see. This time… thank you very much.”

Hearing Shi’s words, Liu seemed to see the former Shi, who was polite and elegant. So he smiled. “You’re welcome.”

Without saying anything more, Shi turned to leave.

Looking at Shi’s receding figure, Liu sighed.

Ouyang took a look at Liu. “What are you looking at?”

Liu said softly, “If Shi Qingzhou can stop being tortured by the reaming effect of the poisonous insect, I guess… this man will be more remarkable.”

Ouyang agreed with him. “Well, there will be a way. Haven’t you been reading medical books all the time? Have you found anything useful?”

Liu shook his head. “No, maybe not in the folk.”

“Where do you want to go?”

“Tianji Sect,” Liu said firmly.
