Chapter 456: Chapter 82_2

Aunt Liu smiled silently, lightly knocked on the door, and brought in the fruit plate, pointing to it: "You can go to the rooftop."

Li Zhiyuan carried the fruit plate with Alii to the rooftop, which had also been remodeled. Under a sunshade umbrella, two identical rattan chairs were placed.

They each lay down and began to play chess, still starting three games at the same time.

While playing chess, Li Zhiyuan recounted the experiences he had after arriving at school.

Each time he reached a crucial point, Alii’s fingers would slightly tense, as she was trying to respond and prove that she was listening attentively.

After finishing the story, Li Zhiyuan felt a bit thirsty and turned to eat some fruits.

He picked up a piece and offered it to the girl, but the girl shook her head, blinking her eyes.

Understanding her, Li Zhiyuan put down the fork, lay back down, and closed his eyes.

What ordinary people called "entering each other’s hearts" remained an exaggeration in words, but for them, it was the most straightforward depiction.

Opening his eyes, Li Zhiyuan felt the scorching wind and the icy sunlight.

Looking up, the sun in the sky and its surrounding halo emitted a ghastly pallor.

In front of him, in the fields and by the streams, were terrifying creatures, laboring and frolicking.

However, while they were doing their things, they still intentionally sneaked glances over here, with mockery and playfulness in their eyes.

As if everything here was absurd and eerie, tailored just for him.

Turning back, he saw the house and the threshold behind him.

Alii, who had left home, also stepped through that threshold, placing herself in the "terrifying wilderness."

When he opened his eyes again and returned to reality, cold sweat had covered the young man’s face.

He purposely lingered for a while, trying to experience what Alii felt when she closed her eyes.

The girl wiped the boy’s sweat with her sleeve cuff, her eyes filled with a smile.

"Our Alii is really strong."

Happiness can be enhanced by contrast, and pain can be diminished in the same way; their companionship was about drawing confidence and strength from each other.

After lying down a bit longer to calm his emotions and dizziness, Li Zhiyuan took Alii back to her room first, then went downstairs.

"Your Grandma Liu is not back yet, there, that’s the study, you can wait for her there."

"Okay, Aunt Liu."

Li Zhiyuan pushed open the study door and walked in; instead of a traditional desk, there was just a coffee table with a stack of books on it, envelopes underneath, and a daybed behind.

Sitting down on a stool opposite the coffee table, Li Zhiyuan’s gaze involuntarily swept to the top book— "Liu’s Qi Observation Technique."

He flipped through it, finding the handwriting clear and neat; ah, this is a common edition, no need to read it.

Li Zhiyuan simply brewed some tea first, and just as the tea was ready, Liu Yumei walked in, sat on the daybed, and leaned back against the cushion.

Her gaze glanced at "Liu’s Qi Observation Technique," noticing the pages had been turned, and couldn’t help revealing a hint of pride.

"Grandma, have some tea."

"Okay."

"Grandma, didn’t Uncle Qin go with you to Jinling?"

"He’s busy, lots to do, he’ll come back once he’s finished."

"Oh."

"What have you been reading lately?"

"Some scriptures."

What he had been truly focused on lately was the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra," and the free manipulation in the memory scenes last night was also thanks to this book.

"Haven’t you found any interesting books?"

Liu Yumei sipped her tea; if this kid mentioned borrowing a book, she would just lend him "Liu’s Qi Observation Technique."

Better to read it in advance, learn slowly; if there are things not understood, then ask oneself, that way it would be more efficient.

"There is an interesting book, but because it’s too intriguing, I’m afraid of ’losing aspiration over frivolous pursuits,’ so I haven’t dared to read it yet."

That book with a white cover and black bottom, it even seems to "flirt."

"That doesn’t matter, books are meant to be read by those who encounter them, and any book before you is your destiny."

Liu Yumei inwardly chuckled; this child indeed knows the value of books.

"I feel it’s not yet the time; I want to wait until I’ve grown a bit more, when I’m more confident, before I gather the courage to read it."

Just like the Copper Coin buried in the cemetery at Shigang Town, one day he would go back to dig it out and face it.

"A book is meant to help you grow; whenever you read it, it is the same. If you are even afraid to face it, that would be quite disappointing."

The more the young man resisted, the more Liu Yumei felt satisfied inside.

"Grandma, do you really think so?"

"Of course, if you don’t read it, you can’t understand it. Maybe you feel one way about it now, but after growing up and maturing, it might give you another feeling; giving up now only to chase the future, is a loss."

"Okay." Li Zhiyuan nodded.

Deep inside, he was really curious about that book, yet feared following the old path of Mao Chang’an and his son. Although he was quite confident, who among those who opened that
