Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 161 From now on you will live under the sun

With Lan Xi's patient persuasion, Xiao Chuhan finally cheered up again. From that day on, Xiao Chuhan went to court on time every day and handled state affairs seriously. Whenever Xiao Chuhan finished his government affairs, he would take time to go to Jingxin Palace. Lan Xi would carefully prepare delicious food and wait for Xiao Chuhan's arrival. After the meal, they would go to Hanyou Garden for a walk together.

While taking a walk, Lan Xi would tell Xiao Chuhan the interesting stories of her time: "Do you know? In our time, everyone is equal. If you want to live a good life, as long as you are willing to endure hardships and work hard enough, you will be able to succeed." Xiao Chuhan listened attentively, with a somewhat lovely expression on his face.

However, Lan Xi looked at Xiao Chuhan in front of her and couldn't help but think about some questions. Lan Xi said softly: "In fact, to be honest, there is not much difference between our time and ancient times. Hard work is certainly an important aspect, but in many cases, relying solely on hard work is far from enough."

Lan Xi herself is not sure whether this idea is correct, but she knows that in modern society, having power and influence is far more important than hard work. If a person does not have power, no matter how hard he works, it may be in vain. It is sometimes not easy to create a world of your own through your own efforts.

"It seems that the era you are in is actually not much different from the environment we are in." Xiao Chuhan looked at Lan Xi and said.

"Just because I have been living in endless darkness, all I can see is the dark side. If I could be in the bright sunshine, maybe I could appreciate a different view!"

"After all, no matter what era it is, once you violate the laws and regulations, you must bear the corresponding punishment. This was also the case in ancient times."

"No matter what era it is, crimes must be punished accordingly."

"Xiao Chuhan, do you understand? In the era we live in, people can go shopping, travel around, watch movies, and taste delicious food in their spare time."

“And yet, these seemingly ordinary things seemed so out of reach for me.”

When Lan Xi talked about this, a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes. These ordinary things were an unattainable luxury for Lan Xi.

After all, Lan Xi has many enemies. Except for going out for missions, Lan Xi rarely leaves her house. Even if she occasionally goes out, Gu Tingyan will always be by her side to ensure her safety. Only at home can Lan Xi have her own little world, where she can do whatever she wants without worries. However, for Lan Xi, that rare good time is a short but precious memory.

Xiao Chuhan reached out his hand and gently stroked Lan Xi's forehead, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and care, and whispered: "From now on, you will no longer live in darkness, but bathe in the warm sunshine. I will never let you suffer again, and your future will be full of joy and happiness. Every day will be spent happily as you wish."

"But speaking of which, since I traveled to ancient times, I have never properly visited this place. When I wake up this time, Xiao Chuhan, can you take me to visit the State of Chu? Let me experience its customs and culture?"

Xiao Chuhan nodded slightly to show his agreement. Lan Xi understood that this time she went to see Wuyou not for herself, but to help Yechen get out of the shadow of the past.

"You're still sure to risk your life and go see Wuyou."

Lan Xi took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I decided to go meet Wuyou. After all, I have already promised Yechen. This can be regarded as fulfilling one of Yechen's wishes. Otherwise, Yechen, like you, will find it difficult to let go of the past and unable to cheer up again."

Xiao Chuhan listened silently, with a complex emotion in his heart. Xiao Chuhan knew that Ye Chen had a special meaning to Wuyou, but Xiao Chuhan also knew that Lan Xi did not want to hide the truth from them. Lan Xi told them everything frankly, whether it was about her true identity or her inner thoughts. This sincerity made Xiao Chuhan admire her, and at the same time made him realize that Lan Xi was a trustworthy person.

Lan Xi sighed softly and said with emotion: "Now, I finally told you the truth. Whether you believe it or not, I feel much more relieved and no longer have such a heavy burden. My mood has also become brighter all of a sudden. I don't have to lie to you just to see Ye Chen anymore. I always feel guilty about you in my heart. But now, I can face you calmly, which makes me feel extremely relieved."

In fact, sometimes, when two people are willing to be honest with each other, it really reduces a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings. Lan Xi didn't want to fall into self-blame and anxiety every day, so she chose to tell the truth, which also made it much easier for her to do things in the future.
