CHAPTER 394: CHAPTER 135: [I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF ABOUT HIM!]

"Huh?"

"You’re so great, why would she look down on you because of some rumors?" Lu Sisi gritted her teeth.

"She might not believe those rumors, but maybe she’s afraid of getting into trouble. If she stayed friends with me, people would gossip." Chen Yan spoke nonchalantly.

"That’s still not okay." Lu Sisi took a deep breath, "If I had been with you back then, anyone spreading those rumors, I would definitely stand in front of them and scold them to their face!"

Chen Yan laughed, gently pulled the girl over, and whispered, "You feel that way because you care about me. But back then, she didn’t, so she had no such obligation."

The two had been chatting from one in the morning until now, almost three.

Chen Yan didn’t mind sharing experiences from his youth with Lu Sisi... In fact, he quite enjoyed the feeling.

Being with someone you like, you never feel tired from chatting.

"You must have had a tough childhood." Lu Sisi clung to Chen Yan’s arm, wishing she could merge her body with his.

"Actually... not really." Chen Yan smiled, "I was pretty good at fighting when I was a kid. I didn’t suffer much, but those guys sure took a lot of my punches."

After pausing, Chen Yan spoke more seriously, "But I realized that in this world, too many people are clueless, and they make up the vast majority of it.

So, you just ignore them.

In life, many people aren’t important at all.

When you think about it, for an individual, most people in the world are insignificant; whether they live or die, it has nothing to do with me."

Lu Sisi listened, somewhat confused.

Chen Yan thought for a bit, then smiled, "For instance, you have a neighbor living next door, who’s geographically close to you, right?"

"Yeah."

"If that neighbor talks bad about you, would you be upset?"

"Probably, most people would be unhappy, right?" Lu Sisi replied.

"So, you haven’t figured it out." Chen Yan laughed and said, "In life, apart from death, nothing is a big deal! Death is one of the biggest things, isn’t it? So let me ask you... if that neighbor who badmouthed you suddenly died, whether from a natural disaster, disease, or an accident, they just pass away.

Think about it, does it affect you at all? Does it have any impact on your life?"

Lu Sisi was stunned and instinctively replied, "It seems... not really."

"Exactly, not at all." Chen Yan said lightly, "If someone is even a little important or valuable and meaningful to your life, their death will definitely affect you, even if it’s a small impact.

If their life or death has no impact on you, then to your life... they’re nothing!

So, think about it.

Someone who’s nothing to you says something bad about you... Why would you let yourself get upset and let such trivial comments affect you?"

Lu Sisi was stunned, and after a while, she whispered, "That makes sense, but... aren’t you thinking too clearly? Many people can’t do it and still get angry, swayed by emotions."

"So, don’t let irrelevant people affect your emotions." Chen Yan said casually, "Your emotions are yours; letting meaningless things affect you is silly, isn’t it?"

"But don’t you ever get really angry?"

"I do."

"What do you do then?"

"Kill that guy." Chen Yan laughed.

Throughout his life, Chen Yan only had thoughts of killing and hatred three times, emotions swayed him, wanting to end the other person’s life.

One was in Port City, the guy who swapped Lu Sisi’s Life Chart—out of importance for Lu Sisi.

Once during the Japan trial, seeing the Secret Realm Master slaying and skinning humans like pigs and dogs—out of empathy as a human being.

The last time was a few days ago, at the ski resort, killing that Mao and that man.

But that time, Chen Yan didn’t really want to kill anyone.

Killing those two was just to avoid trouble for himself, not wanting to get caught up in meaningless dangers and disputes.

Lu Sisi curled up in Chen Yan’s arms, speaking softly, "I wish I had known you when you were young, I would’ve treated you so well."

"No, if you had met me when you were young, with your bad luck, we probably both wouldn’t have made it to adulthood." Chen Yan laughed.

Lu Sisi wasn’t angry—after all, her bad luck had already been lifted. She lightly bit Chen Yan’s arm, then felt a little sorry and reached out to gently touch it, whispering, "No way, I’m tough, which is why I managed to survive bravely until eighteen, and finally met you."

As the girl spoke, her eyes showed some emotion, looking at Chen Yan with glistening eyes.

Chen Yan felt moved, turned over, and pressed Lu Sisi beneath him, kissing her.

Soon, the breathing in the room became heavy again.

All that can be said is...

The energy of a twenty-two-year-old and an eighteen-year-old is truly limitless.

·

When Lu Sisi woke up, it was already noon.

Actually, in the morning, Chen Yan tried to wake her for breakfast, but Lu Sisi adamantly refused—without enough sleep, she’d age faster!

Chen Yan found it strange, "You’re only eighteen, what are you worried about aging fast for?"

Lu Sisi didn’t answer the question but secretly sighed in her heart.
