Chapter 108: Chapter 108: How Could Grey Hair Be Replaced by Snow, Meeting You Is the Best of Luck
"I just look at the essence through the phenomena."
"So what is our essence? A transaction?"
Xiao Zhan’s voice grew colder, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ye Youlong.
He knew that Ye Youlong was a person who focused on objectives. Just as she said, she could see through the essence of things in a glance, and those intricate intermediate disturbances would not affect her at all.
This was why her decisions were always so decisive.
She only analyzed the results, never caring about the process.
Xiao Zhan very much appreciated this trait of hers; he felt she complemented him, just like during the battle with Long Jiang, when he hesitated, she was able to make the quickest and most accurate choice.
His fondness for her character was growing.
But now, Xiao Zhan felt suffocated because Ye Youlong treated their relationship in the same way.
He couldn’t accept it.
So what did she consider their relationship?
Child’s play? Or a transaction?
Facing Xiao Zhan’s questioning, Ye Youlong subconsciously wanted to retort, but seeing the disappointment in his eyes, she suddenly realized something.
"If you don’t like it, then forget it."
"There’s no need. If you want to keep it, then keep it. After all, we’re already bound together, aren’t we?"
With a self-deprecating smile, Xiao Zhan placed the Spirit Manipulation Technique in front of her and then walked straight out.
Ye Youlong watched Xiao Zhan’s retreating figure, her expression as calm as ever, with only a slight shimmer in her eyes betraying her emotions.
But looking at the Spirit Manipulation Technique in front of her, she didn’t know how to decide.
Xiao Zhan went outside.
By this time, reinforcements had also arrived. The plump Liu Yuan greeted him, "Brother, I heard you were going to take a car out, so I kept one just for you."
Talk about rubbing salt in the wound.
Xiao Zhan couldn’t hold back his suppressed mood and burst out, "I’m not riding that crappy car; whoever wants it can take it!"
Huh?
Liu Yuan looked at Xiao Zhan’s departing figure, his chubby face full of confusion.
What? Wasn’t it you who said you wanted to take the car?
Why aren’t you taking it now?
If you don’t want to ride, don’t ride, but why lash out?
Just then, Ye Youlong also came out.
Liu Yuan gave a fat-cheeked smile, "Sister-in-law, do you want to take the car?"
"Scram."
Liu Yuan: ...
Could there be something wrong with you two?
You were the ones who mentioned taking the car inside. Out of consideration for your hard work, I kindly arranged one for you.
You don’t even appreciate it, and now you’re cursing at people?
"Hmph, don’t want to ride, then forget it. I’ll take it myself."
At the same time.
In an unknown place, within a room.
Scar Face saw the news of Long Jiang’s death and instantly smashed the table in front of him to pieces, furious beyond measure!
"How could this happen? Little brother, how could you just leave your big brother behind? Little brother...!"
"Xiao Zhan! Ye Youlong! The vengeance for my brother’s death is irreconcilable; I want your blood to pay for his blood!"
"Someone come, investigate for me. I want all the information on Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong! Start from when they were in the womb, and do not miss a single day!"
"Yes!"
One day later.
Xiao Zhan and Liu Yuan returned to the Special Service Bureau.
Qin Wanfeng commended the four of them; it was meant to take a month, but they wrapped it up in less than a week.
They deserved praise.
Wu Ya also expressed her approval of Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, especially after seeing the report of Xiao Zhan facing dozens alone and even killing the Third Grade Spirit Master Long Jiang. freewēbnoveℓ.com
She was somewhat impressed.
A Second Grade killing a Third Grade was something she couldn’t have done initially.
What would Wu Ya think if she knew that Xiao Zhan had actually killed Long Jiang, who was considered Fourth Grade?
After the commendation, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong returned to their barracks.
After washing up, the two lay in bed.
The atmosphere was a bit stiff, like a couple sulking after an argument.
"We should communicate seriously," Ye Youlong said.
They hadn’t spoken a word to each other for a day.
"Okay."
Xiao Zhan also knew that silence was not a solution.
They were not under an equal Contract, so when irreconcilable differences arose, there was still the option of dissolution.
The Life and Death Contract compelled them, and facing a broken relationship, they could only resort to mending.
"Let me express my feelings first. Since we are under a Life and Death Contract, we should cultivate our relationship with heart."
"Whether the final result is good or bad, it would be the outcome of following our true desires. If we are fated, excellent; if not, so be it."
"I don’t want to use this ’Divine Separation’ bullshit to solidify our relationship; doing so only makes me feel that I’m not ’indispensable’ in your heart."
Xiao Zhan tried to express himself in a calm and even manner.
Although the Life and Death Contract had doomed them to be ’indispensable’ to each other, it was a forced bond.
More than a physical bond, Xiao Zhan wanted a soulful connection.
Otherwise, why would he give up the use of his talent expansion for her?
Was it truly because her threat of death could intimidate him?
Based on his understanding of Ye Youlong, she wanted to ’live’ more than anyone!
Xiao Zhan’s refusal to use his own talent was purely because he did not want to use it.
After hearing his words, Ye Youlong was silent for two seconds, "In my heart, you are ’indispensable,’ and it’s precisely because you are you that I used ’Divine Separation.’"
"I want to be with you until the end; I don’t want us to become estranged. On this point, we should have the same idea."
Ye Youlong said, looking at Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Yes, I want to be with you until the end."
"Since we both want to be together until the end, why can’t we use ’Divine Separation’?"
"You like me, and I like you; there is real affection between us. For this common beautiful outcome, I have made my efforts."
Xiao Zhan said, "What you’re saying is right; this outcome is what I want. But I don’t want to achieve it by relying on external forces; I want our hearts to grow closer gradually."
"If the outcome is good, why should we care about the process? I haven’t betrayed you, nor will I betray you. My feelings for you are pure and free of impurities," Ye Youlong said.
Xiao Zhan gently shook his head, "But have you ever thought that sometimes the process itself is an outcome?"
"Maybe for you, only the result is the outcome. But for me, the process is also an outcome."
"Why do flowers still bloom knowing they will wither? Why do people still live knowing they will die? The result is not important; the process is what’s important."
"If we know we will part, why should we be together at all? It’s because I want to love you infinitely within our limited time. The process of being in love with you is far more important than this false outcome you brought me!"
"Your focus on the outcome is too pragmatic. White hair cannot substitute for snow; to meet is already the best possible fate."
