Chen Hai and Tian Mingjian were walking and chatting.
Tian Mingjian directly ignored some less important things. He just told Chen Hai about the slightly more important things.
Originally, Chen Hai was still hesitating whether to go back to school or not.
However, during this retreat, a semester has passed before I knew it.
The students in the same class as him have already entered their sophomore year and have started school for a long time.
The only slightly better news is that Ye Qingqing helped him find connections to go to school and went through the formalities of suspending his studies, instead of dropping out of school directly.
Theoretically, as long as Chen Hai is willing, he can still enter school and continue studying.
Of course, students in the same class as him were in their sophomore year, but he still had to start over from his freshman year.
It's a pity that Chen Hai now has no interest in studying at all.
Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived outside the farmer's yard where Tian Mingjian parked his motorcycle.
Parking the motorcycle in someone's yard, Tian Mingjian must have reached some agreement with the family and paid them some storage fees!
Chen Hai did not enter the courtyard. He stood outside the courtyard and just waited for a few minutes.
Tian Mingjian was riding a dirty, shabby-looking men's motorcycle and had slowly driven out of the yard.
From the suburban countryside here to Kyoto City, although it is not very far, it is still more than ten or twenty kilometers away.
Although the motorcycle is old and worn-out, it is still much more convenient than walking.
Speaking of which, Chen Hai could actually take Ye Cheng's military vehicle and go directly back to Kyoto.
It's a pity that he was angry and still a little dissatisfied with that guy.
Naturally, he would not even mention the matter of taking their ride back to Kyoto.
After sending Chen Hai to the gate of Xishan Villa, Tian Mingjian left quickly on his old motorcycle, "dudududu".
My wife has been pregnant for more than nine months, and it is not long before she is due to give birth.
If it weren't for Chen Hai's incident, which forced him to stay close to the private house in the suburbs, he would have gone back home to wait for the birth with his wife.
Chen Hai finally came out of seclusion. He was full of strength and seemed to have entered an incredible state. Tian Mingjian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After learning that Chen Hai had nothing to do and wanted to tell him to do it, he was already eager to return home.
Looking at the open courtyard door in front of him, Chen Hai sighed lightly.
Since the courtyard door is open, no one else should run in except his girlfriend Ye Qingqing.
He raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
Logically speaking, Ye Qingqing, who is already a junior in college, should be in school at this time.
She will appear here, presumably because Ye Cheng, who left first, contacted her and told her that she had appeared.
"Chen Hai, are you back? I specially learned cooking skills and made lunch for you while you were still back!"
"Come on, how about you try my skills?"
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Ye Qingqing, who was wearing an apron and with sweat on her forehead, immediately came out to greet her.
Perhaps it was because when Tian Mingjian just came over, his motorcycle made a bit of noise.
Hearing the roar of the motorcycle engine, Ye Qingqing had such a reaction at this moment.
She was extremely happy to see Chen Hai.
Some time ago, she didn't mention a word about the grievances and depression in her heart, as if they had all been swept away.
Holding Chen Hai's wrist, she pulled Chen Hai and walked towards the restaurant.
The three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes were still steaming hot, and four or five dishes that had obviously just been cooked were already placed on the dining table.
Let’s not talk about the taste for now. The dishes made by Ye Qingqing are indeed very good in terms of color and aroma, and can whet your appetite.
"Here, have a taste..." Picking up the serving chopsticks on the dining table, Ye Qingqing picked up a small piece of braised fish and brought it to Chen Hai's mouth.
"Yes, Qingqing, your cooking skills are really different from before!"
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Hai finally opened his mouth and allowed his girlfriend to smoothly put the fish piece she held into his mouth.
In the past, after he tried Ye Qingqing's cooking skills once, he no longer dared to try it a second time.
But now, what he just said was indeed not an exaggeration.
The braised fish cubes made by Ye Qingqing taste really good.
"If you like it, eat more!" Picking up the chopsticks, Ye Qingqing seemed to want to pick up some vegetables for Chen Hai to taste.
But this time, Chen Hai did not open his mouth, but took a few steps back.
"Qingqing, this time, I disappeared for more than half a year. Do you really not mind about this?"
Gu Hong
With a complex expression on his face, he looked at his girlfriend Ye Qingqing a few steps away and sighed.
"Chen Hai, my brother told me that you suddenly disappeared because of your retreat!"
"Back when I was with you, you told me that you are a cultivator and you need to spend a lot of time cultivating."
"At first, I asked Tian Mingjian about your whereabouts, and he only told me that you had something to do and you had to go out for a while."
"I want to know your exact whereabouts from his mouth. He kept it a secret for you and said he knew nothing about your whereabouts."
"During that period, I was really confused and lost."
"But later, I suddenly felt that maybe I was a little too greedy."
"The ancients once said that if love lasts for a long time, how can it last forever?"
"You have your own pursuits and your own things to do. You can't spend all day with me. For me, as long as you have me in your heart, that's enough!"
I don't know if Ye Qingqing really figured it out or if he did it deliberately.
At this moment, a flower appeared on her face, and she spoke softly and sincerely.
"Qingqing, I am really sorry for what happened this time. If you are dissatisfied and have any objections to me, you can speak up."
"Actually, based on your conditions, there is really no need to be so humble when it comes to love!"
"Just like your brother said, if you are serious and want to pursue you and become your Ye family's son-in-law, you can definitely easily line up from the street to the end of the street..."
With a complicated face, Chen Hai looked directly at Ye Qingqing in front of him, he sighed and said.
However, he was only halfway through his words when he could no longer continue.
Because at this time, Ye Qingqing had already taken a step forward and blocked Chen Hai's mouth with his own small mouth, making it impossible for him to say what he had in mind.
It lasted for several minutes before their lips separated again.
"Chen Hai, promise me, can you stop disappearing for such a long time in the future?"
A pair of beautiful eyes filled with affection seemed to melt Chen Hai's whole body. She looked directly at Chen Hai and begged.
If it were any other request, Chen Hai would definitely nod without hesitation at this time.
But now, his girlfriend Ye Qingqing implores him to do something. Unless he lies and perverts it, he will not be able to make any promise at all.
After all, with his strength reaching his level, if he wants to continue to advance and break through, just purely accumulating strength is no longer enough.
The power of the flames he controls can only be deepened by "enlightenment".
If you want to understand the true meaning of fire and truly understand the secret of fire? It is definitely inevitable to practice hard in seclusion.
The stronger the strength, the higher the realm. Every time he retreats, the time he spends will definitely only become longer and longer.
Unless Chen Hai is willing to give up practicing Taoism and live in peace with his girlfriend Ye Qingqing.
Otherwise, it is simply unrealistic for him to promise not to disappear again, and he really cannot do it.
Chen Hai's hesitation fell into Ye Qingqing's eyes.
Although she didn't express any dissatisfaction, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
"Okay, Chen Hai, it's me who makes things difficult for others!"
Her expression darkened, and she sighed.
After just a slight pause, she tentatively spoke, and then said: "If you still want to retreat for a long time, can you inform me before the retreat and tell me the specific location of the retreat, so that I can have a feeling in my mind?
Where’s the bottom?”
From her standpoint, as a girl, it is really not too much for her to make such a small request to her fiancé.
However, from Chen Hai's standpoint, his views are obviously different from Ye Qingqing's.
Just like his retreat this time, if he hadn't been cruel and didn't let Tian Mingjian inform Yu Ye Qingqing of the location of his retreat.
After ten days and a half, she might still be able to accept it and endure it.
But if Chen Hai didn't show up for three to five months, she would have definitely looked for him long ago!
Even after being questioned by her parents, her eldest brother Ye Cheng and others, she could no longer bear the pressure and informed them of Chen Hai's retreat place!
If such a situation really happens, Chen Hai's breakthrough in seclusion will undoubtedly have to be abandoned halfway.
As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
To put it bluntly, given his current situation, there seems to be some irreconcilable inevitable contradiction between spiritual practice and love.
"Qingqing, you don't understand my world at all."
"For me, it is my lifelong wish to see what the end of the monastic life will be like."
"I can't promise anything, and I can't guarantee anything!"
"If one day you really feel that we are not suitable and you don't want to continue to be with me, I can understand and accept it..."
After being silent for a long time, Chen Hai sighed deeply and said.
