463. Extra: Die for Love
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou had been together for more than ten years.
Over the years, they had been spending less time on handling daily affairs. The two of them often left the work to some ministers and occasionally asked the Shadow Guardians to secretly supervise them.
They travelled around the world.
Over the years, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan seemed tired of staying in the Imperial City, so they often went out and wandered around.
For example, if someone paid a lot of money for his treatment where there were famous and interesting places or delicious food, Liu Suifeng would go with Ouyang Chuan.
Long Xiaoyuan was quite envious of Liu Suifeng. After staying in the palace for a long time, he began to yearn for the life of roaming outside. Therefore, sometimes when Liu Suifeng went out to treat people, Long Xiaoyuan would follow him, taking s.h.i.+ Qingzhou along.
In this way, Long Xiaoyuan had been to many places over the years. As the emperor, he was really carefree. He decided to pa.s.s the throne to Long Huan when the child turned sixteen. He longed for the days when he could roam around with s.h.i.+ Qingzhou holding swords.
If they were tired, they would find a place to settle down and rest for a while. He often went back to the Imperial City, as s.h.i.+ Qingzhou had his family.
And Long Xiaoyuan had to see his son.
This time, Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou followed Liu Suifeng out to treat patients.
Speaking of which, they had been to this place before. The rich merchant who invited Liu Suifeng was in Songye City.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan had many memories in this city.
Both of them were shocked because Long Xiaoyuan had been taken away, and he was forced to jump into Songye River with Liu Suifeng.
Long Xiaoyuan really didnât want to recall those savage days.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, on the other hand, had a bad memory about this place because of his worries.
However, it was long time ago, and both of them had complicated feelings with the city, so they decided to come over with Liu Suifeng.
When Liu Suifeng went to treat the merchant, Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou went to Songye River, holding hands.
They looked up at the cliff, and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said, âWhat were you thinking when you jumped down from there?â
Long Xiaoyuan turned to s.h.i.+ Qingzhou. âI was thinking that even if I had to die, I would die with dignity. I canât die in someone elseâs hands. In this world, there are only two people who can kill me. One is me, and the other is you, Qingzhou. â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâs heart trembled. Although they had been together for more than ten years, as time went on, their love didnât fade but got deeper.
The tacit understanding between the two of them was getting better, and they valued each other even more.
âQingzhou.â Long Xiaoyuan smiled and kissed s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâs mouth when he saw s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâs touched expression.
âDonât you think Iâm right? In this world, you are the only one who can kill me. Others are nothing to me.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou took a deep breath and suddenly said, âDo you want to jump again?â
Long Xiaoyuan was startled âWhat?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said slowly, âLast time you jumped with Liu Suifeng, but this time, Iâll accompany you.â
Long Xiaoyuan laughed. âQingzhou, are you jealous?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said lightly, âYou think too much.â
Long Xiaoyuan loved the way s.h.i.+ Qingzhou showed his affection. He hugged him in his arms and held his neck with all his strength, âQingzhou, okay, we jump together.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked down and said softly, âOkay.â
It was summer, and the river was quiet. Most importantly, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan didnât think that the river would be difficult for them.
Long Xiaoyuan thought, âItâs like dying for love. It seems quite romantic.â
On the riverside, the two of them held hands and jumped down together.
At that moment, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan came to look for them, and they saw two figures leaping down.
Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were dumbfounded.
Liu Suifeng said, âWhat are they doing? Swimming or killing themselves?â
Ouyang Chuan said, âThey canât be killing themselves. If they are seeking death, wonât the Shadow Guardians stop them?â
Liu Suifeng shouted, âYing Feng, Ying Qiu!â
The two leaders of Shadow Guardians appeared at the same time.
âIs your master dying for love?â
Ying Feng said calmly, âThey are revisiting the place. I donât know what is on my masterâs mind.â
Ouyang Chuan said thoughtfully, âYou jumped into the river with Long Xiaoyuan last time.â
Liu Suifeng blinked, confused. âAnd then?â
Ouyang Chuan looked at him and said lightly, âPerhaps s.h.i.+ Qingzhou is disgruntled that you jumped off with Long Xiaoyuan back then.â
Liu Suifeng was speechless. âSo he wants to jump with him this time?â
Ouyang Chuan said lightly, âYes.â
Liu Suifeng was lost for words, thinking s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan were silly.
To his surprise, Ouyang Chuan said lightly after a moment, âActually, every time I recall that you and Long Xiaoyuan might die together, Iâm not happy either.â
Liu Suifeng was shocked. âOuyangâ¦â
Ouyang Chuan looked away.
Liu Suifeng hurriedly clung to him. Suddenly, he realized why Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou had to jump again. Dying for love should be done by lovers.
There was nothing between him and Long Xiaoyuan.
Liu Suifeng hugged Ouyang Chuanâs waist. âOuyang, letâs jump together too.â
Ouyang Chuan looked at him.
Liu Suifeng said firmly, âActually, every time I recall that I almost died with Long Xiaoyuan, I am not happy either. Only my Ouyang could die by my side. What is Long Xiaoyuan?â
Ying Feng and Ying Qiu looked over coldly.
Liu Suifeng shuddered. He pulled Ouyang Chuan to the riverside and said affectionately, âOuyang, we live and die together in this life.â
Ouyang Chuanâs heart trembled, but he said lightly, âDonât worry. We wonât die even if we jump.â
Liu Suifeng said with grievance, âOuyang, Iâm just telling you what I think.â
Ouyang Chuan ignored him and looked at the river in front of him. The next moment, Liu Suifeng held his hand, and two figures jumped into the river, Ying Feng and Ying Qiu frowned and came to the riverside.
Ying Qiu said, âYing Feng, is this our masterâs hobby? We shouldnât jump and disturb them, right?â
Ying Feng was a little worried. âThere wonât be an accident, right?â
Ying Qiu said indifferently, âI donât think there will be any accidents. Besides, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan went down too.â
Ying Feng thought about it and agreed. âThatâs right. Letâs pick them up on the other side.â
âLeave some people here. The rest go to the other side and pick them up.â
âOkay. The river goes to the north. It will take a long time for them to come out.â
Thus, the two of them quickly left.
Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou went to the place where he and Liu Suifeng swam ash.o.r.e a few years ago. When Long Xiaoyuan was reminiscing about the past with his Qingzhou, two figures came out of the river.
Long Xiaoyuanâs face instantly darkened. âWhy are you following us everywhere? What are you doing here?â
Liu Suifeng sneered. âWe want to revisit this place. Itâs not your business.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and Ouyang Chuan have been on good terms over the years, and they would not quarrel like Long Xiaoyuan and Liu Suifeng.
Seeing that Ouyang Chuan had also come, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou understood why they came, so he waved at Ouyang Chuan.
Ouyang Chuan walked up to him.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said lightly, âLetâs go ahead and take a look.â
Ouyang Chuan nodded. âOkay.â
After the two of them had left for some time, Long Xiaoyuan and Liu Suifeng finally came to their senses.
âQingzhou, wait for me!â
âOuyang, wait for me!â
The two of them cried, but they didnât catch up immediately. They knew there was a shortage of water ahead, so they had to bring some waterâ¦
Back then, Liu Suifeng was injured, and Long Xiaoyuanâs martial arts were not good, but they managed to come out. After more than ten years, Long Xiaoyuan was kind of a second-rate expert. Besides, they didnât jump from the cliff, so none of them were injured.
It was like an outing for them.
They revisited this place without the anxiety. With the one he loved by his side, Long Xiaoyuan replaced the bleak memory with the new happy one.
At night.
The four people slept in the wilderness.
It was summer, so it wasnât cold.
They didnât sleep on hays, and the two pairs slept separately. No one wanted to be a third wheel. They liked to be intimate with their beloved.
On Long Xiaoyuanâs side.
âQingzhou, take the sky as our blanket and the earth as our bed⦠Letâs do it.â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou glanced at him indifferently. âI donât want to.â
Long Xiaoyuan was upset. âWhy?â
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled. âI just donât want to.â
Long Xiaoyuan was speechless.
In the end, Long Xiaoyuan in disappointment held s.h.i.+ Qingzhou in his arms. When s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was dozing off, Long Xiaoyuanâs hands slipped into s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâs clothesâ¦
s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was woken up, saying helplessly, âYouâ¦â
Long Xiaoyuan quickly kissed his mouth, and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou clung to him with half reluctance.
On the side of Ouyang Chuan.
Liu Suifeng said, âOuyang, letâs do it.â
Ouyang Chuan turned his back to Liu Suifeng.
Liu Suifeng clung to him cheekily. âOuyang, I jumped into the river with you.â
Ouyang Chuan sneered. âYou pulled me.â
Liu Suifeng was lost for words.
Ouyang Chuan said fiercely. âGo to sleep!â
Liu Suifeng was disappointed, but Ouyang Chuan was not moved. In the end, Liu Suifeng could only hold him in his arms and went to sleep in sorrow.
It could be seen that he couldnât compare with other people.
