Chapter 80: Simple Happiness
Time passed slowly, but the two of them were not sleepy at all.
“Are you asleep?” Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue with a slight smile on his face. Just looking at her like that filled his heart with satisfaction.
Su Jinyue turned over and smiled at Zhan Yihan. “I can’t sleep.”
“Then let’s talk for a while.” Zhan Yihan extended his hand towards Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue smiled lightly and placed her hand in his. She liked the feeling of being held by him. This feeling made her feel at ease.
“Oh right, I saved an old man on the train this time. To thank me, he gave me a spiritual stone. He told me that the spiritual stone was picked up from Mount Kunlun.” Recalling what happened on the train, Su Jinyue took out the spiritual stone and handed it to Zhan Yihan.
“Don’t tell me you want to go to Mount Kunlun?” Zhan Yihan immediately guessed Su Jinyue’s thoughts.
“That’s my plan.” Su Jinyue nodded. It would have been fine if she did not know about this piece of news. Now that she knew about it, she would definitely not let it slide. Regardless of whether there were any spiritual stones in Mount Kunlun, she would only feel at ease if she went there to take a look. However, she would not go there for the time being. Yihan had arranged a school for her. She could not ask for leave immediately after entering the school.
“I’ll go with you when I have a break,” Zhan Yihan said. How could he be at ease if Jinyue went alone? Furthermore, Mount Kunlun was not a simple place. There were all kinds of mysterious legends there, especially the Door of Death. That place was even stranger. Even ancient martial arts practitioners did not dare to approach that place easily.
Some people speculated that that place might be the entrance to a Hidden Sect. However, none of the people who had gone there to search had returned.
Su Jinyue nodded. “Keep this spiritual stone with you.” As a bodyguard, Yihan was in danger every day. If he could become stronger, he would not be injured like he was this time. She would be more at ease.
Zhan Yihan smiled and shook his head. “Keep this spiritual stone.” In his heart, she was the most important. Only by becoming stronger would she be able to save herself when he was not by her side.
“I still have other spiritual energy to cultivate. Look,” Su Jinyue said as she took out a handful of jewelry that contained spiritual energy.
Zhan Yihan was stunned. “You have a storage pouch on you?” He had already guessed this when she took out the spiritual stone. He had heard that the Hidden Sects had a storage pouch that could store many things. It looked very small, but there was a huge space inside. However, that was only a legend and no one had seen it before.
Su Jinyue nodded. “That day, when I went to the mountain to pick herbs, I saw two people fighting. Later on, one died and the other was injured. I picked up the storage pouch beside the injured person. At that time, I merely thought that it looked pretty, but I didn’t know that it was a storage pouch.” If Little Elf hadn’t told her, she would have thought it was just a small pouch made of some special material.
She took out the storage pouch and handed it to Zhan Yihan. “Look, this is it.”
Zhan Yihan took the storage pouch and examined it. His eyes were filled with surprise. “If I had not heard of it before, it would be hard to imagine that such a small pouch is actually a storage pouch.” He had originally thought that it was a legend, but he did not expect it to really exist.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. “I didn’t expect that there would be such a magical thing in this world.” Fortunately, she had been reborn. Otherwise, she would never have imagined that such a magical thing existed in this world, much less that she would have the chance to become a cultivator.
“Keep the storage pouch well and don’t tell anyone about it. There are still powerful people in this world that we can’t imagine,” Zhan Yihan instructed. Even in the Hidden Sect, storage pouches were only owned by very few people.
“Okay!” Su Jinyue nodded in understanding. In this life, he was the only person she could trust completely. It was not that her Teacher could not be trusted. Her Teacher’s kindness to her was unquestionable. However, her Teacher was an ordinary person after all. If he knew too much, it would be dangerous for him.
As the two of them chatted, the sky outside had already turned bright.
“Yihan, you should sleep for a while.” Su Jinyue looked at the sky outside the window and sat up. Her presence made Yihan unable to rest well.
“I’m not tired.” Zhan Yihan sat up. When he went overseas for meetings with that important person, he would not sleep for days.
Su Jinyue thought about it and said, “Why don’t I go to the guest house to stay tonight? You won’t be able to rest well if I stay here.” If his injuries worsened, she wouldn’t feel good either.
“My injuries are almost healed just by looking at you.” Zhan Yihan smiled. To him, she was his best medicine.
Su Jinyue rolled her eyes at Zhan Yihan sweetly. “When did you become so glib-tongued?” In her previous life, although he was not a serious person, it was impossible for him to say anything romantic. Perhaps it was because they were just friends at that time.
“Only when you are around,” said Zhan Yihan with a smile. He could not imagine that he could utter such sweet nothings so naturally, but when she was by his side, it came naturally to him..
“I’ll go wash my face and brush my teeth.” Su Jinyue got up and walked towards the washroom. His sweet outburst made her heart beat uncontrollably as if it was going to leap out.
Zhan Yihan smiled and followed her, reaching out to hold Su Jinyue’s hand.
Su Jinyue turned around and playfully made a face at Zhan Yihan. Her heart was filled with happiness and sweetness.
The bathroom was very small, but there was no problem for two people to stand in it.
Su Jinyue helped Zhan Yihan squeeze the toothpaste and handed him the toothbrush. She picked up two ceramic cups that were placed together on the sink and filled them with water. She had seen these two cups in the supply cooperative store and felt that they were not bad, so she bought them. There were very few ceramic cups in this era, not to mention a couple mugs. Most shops sold glass or enamel cups, but enamel cups were more widely used.
“This cup is quite pretty.” Zhan Yihan picked up the cup and smiled as he looked at the cup in Su Jinyue’s hand.
“Would my choices be bad?” Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows smugly. These were the couple mugs that she had chosen. There was only one pair in the entire supply cooperative store.
Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue lovingly and nodded in agreement. “Of course you have the best taste. That’s why you chose me.” He really wanted time to stop at this moment and let him and Jinyue be together forever.
“Are you praising me or yourself?” Su Jinyue smiled and rolled her eyes at Zhan Yihan before picking up her toothbrush to brush her teeth.
They stood side by side brushing their teeth. Their eyes met in the mirror and they smiled at each other. Love was actually very simple. As long as you were with the person you loved, it was a form of happiness.
