"Chang’an, could it be that, for you, the world of mories is not as good as the present?"
"Of course not." Xu Chang’an waved his hand.
In this world, he has a teacher and Miss Yun... so there’s no need to think about the past.
"Teacher, you might find strange... after all, it’s just illogical mories." Xu Chang’an looked out the window: "Carefully thinking about it, maybe these mories are just dreams I had as a child."
Saying this, Xu Chang’an smiled.
The once real world has already beco just a dream to him.
And because there are no shared mories with Miss Yun in that world, Xu Chang’an knows that after a few more years, these mories won’t even count as dreams, and he’ll probably forget them completely.
This is a good thing.
Very good.
"Teacher." Xu Chang’an looked up.
"Hmm?" Li Zhibai looked at him.
"Luckily, there’s you." Xu Chang’an lifted the corners of his mouth.
So secrets need to be spoken out... before they can be let go.
He is grateful for the chance to discuss these matters with Li Zhibai in a joking, greedy manner.
And grateful that Li Zhibai does not ask for details of that world; in becoming a listener, Teacher is truly incredibly good.
He knows that Li Zhibai surely sees that he’s just venting and doesn’t want to discuss in detail, hence remaining silent.
One has to say, in life, encountering such a teacher... He is truly a lucky person.
The matters of the past life, he’s kept bottled up, and it’s uncomfortable... Now, being able to converse with Li Zhibai, it feels like he’s letting go of a big burden inside, so moving forward... whether it’s rebirth or reincarnation, it’s not important to him anymore.
The so-called secrets cease to be secrets the mont they are spoken, and can beco things to forget, and then... Xu Chang’an just needs to wait for the place storing these mories to be filled with the everyday life with the young lady, and he can completely let go of the past life.
Li Zhibai: "...?"
Still... still good to have her?
Suddenly hearing these sowhat embarrassing words from Xu Chang’an, Li Zhibai was stunned for a while; her usual train of logic was suddenly scattered, looking at the boy in front of her with an unprecedentedly dazed look:
"Chang, Chang’an... what did you say?"
Xu Chang’an watched Li Zhibai stamr for once and actually thought she looked a bit adorable. He gently coughed and repeated:
"Teacher, I’m saying... having you is truly a good thing."
After a pause, Xu Chang’an added: "Even for , there are things... always pressed inside causing discomfort."
Only Li Zhibai can make him feel incredibly at ease.
"What kind of words are these?" Li Zhibai’s ears felt a bit warm, but she maintained her teacherly dignity and shook her head: "Is there anything you couldn’t tell Ms. Yun?"
She doesn’t think she is irreplaceable in Chang’an’s heart.
"Miss Yun... better not." Xu Chang’an’s eyes twitched slightly: "Teacher, you don’t fully understand her yet, so matters... are better left unknown to her."
"..." Li Zhibai looked at Xu Chang’an with surprise and chuckled helplessly.
If it weren’t Chang’an, these words might truly sound like those of a flirtatious person.
"Cannot speak to Miss Yun but can with ?" Li Zhibai looked aningfully at Xu Chang’an: "Seems like, in your heart, this isn’t a good thing."
"Teacher, that’s not quite right." Xu Chang’an pointed a finger, lightly playing with the Glazed Jade at his waist: "About matters concerning this Senior, you can speak with but keep it from Senior Zhu... isn’t that also not a good thing?"
Often, whether to hide or not doesn’t indicate closeness of the relationship; it’s just about the circumstances.
Of course, the teacher is the most important person to him, aside from Miss Yun.
"Tongjun... letting her know would indeed be troubleso." Li Zhibai placed a finger against her brow and looked up: "Chang’an, now you... start speaking such twisted logic, have I taught you this?"
"It’s the truth." Xu Chang’an smiled at Li Zhibai, adding: "Teacher, I really can’t tell Miss Yun."
It’s truly impossible to tell Yun Qian.
Bear in mind, Yun Qian will always rember every word he says... even those she doesn’t understand or comprehend, she will rember.
Xu Chang’an does not want these things he resolved to erase, heard from Yun Qian’s mouth after many years...
Therefore, he won’t casually tell Yun Qian about these.
The existence of the System... is the sa.
Li Zhibai is different; Teacher can tell he doesn’t wish to ntion it, hence doesn’t speak.
"...Really don’t know what you’re thinking." Li Zhibai looked at the boy’s gentle smile and clear eyes, and at that mont felt that the so-called ’mories of the Immortal Realm’ were nothing.
She walked to Xu Chang’an’s side, reached out, and slowly smoothed the slightly rumpled folds on his shoulder, then exhaled quietly.
"In any case, if those mories don’t affect you... then it’s good."
She hopes Chang’an always remains Chang’an.
"You really don’t ask." Xu Chang’an looked closely at this once extrely stern, now gentle woman, and said with a smile: "If it were Senior Zhu, she would definitely want all the details."
"To , it’s not important." Li Zhibai took a step back, looked at Xu Chang’an’s appearance, nodded satisfactorily, and then spoke: "Ultimately, now... isn’t the ti to know these."
If one day, the secrets within Xu Chang’an can no longer be contained, or when it becos necessary, she will ask him the secrets he knows... but now, isn’t the ti.
Besides.
"Chang’an, do you really believe that those dream-like mories are important?" Li Zhibai gazed into Xu Chang’an’s eyes. He hesitated before uncertainly saying: "I guess... they should still be important."
After all, they are mories of a past life.
"I think... not important." Li Zhibai reached out, pinched Xu Chang’an’s cheek gently, witnessed the student’s surprise, then returned to her senses, coughed lightly, and turned away.
Be it Lingyu, Celestial Tribulation, or Breaking the Boundary... is there anything that Xu Chang’an ever realized was truly related to him from the start?
Not a single one.
He has always been ignorant.
Before Open Source, Xu Chang’an even believed he had no talents, that he was just an ordinary person with nothing but hard work.
Under these circumstances, Li Zhibai understood that the so-called world of mories Xu Chang’an spoke of... essentially had no value for him.
Even though Xu Chang’an isn’t arrogant, if the world had made him aware that he might be an Immortal... then when encountering these anomalies here, he wouldn’t be so dumbfounded and clueless.
He would surely wonder if it has anything to do with him.
Therefore, not important.
Xu Chang’an: "..."
After a pause, he touched his cheek and sighed.
Even though he wasn’t clear why Li Zhibai was so certain, it didn’t stop him from thinking that Li Zhibai is indeed an extraordinary person.
"Teacher... it’s getting late, we should head back." Xu Chang’an prepared to end this topic, reminding: "If we leave Senior Zhu waiting too long, she might fuss."
"When she fusses, you, her student, are just going to watch?" Li Zhibai asked with a smile, words that were uncharacteristic for her to say.
"If you need the student’s help, then... I will co." Xu Chang’an also smiled.
Li Zhibai sighed: "Fine, ganging up against her, Tong Jun might have sleepless nights."
"Exactly that."
Xu Chang’an nodded.
To say, after each discussion, his relationship with Li Zhibai deepens, becoming closer.
Xu Chang’an doesn’t dislike this feeling, because he believes that an increasingly gentle teacher... can certainly beco a good friend to Miss Yun.
"But no rush to return." Li Zhibai glanced down the corridor, where Miss Aqing stood holding a food box at the street corner, hesitant to interrupt their conversation.
"Chang’an, there’s one more thing I want to ask you."
"Please go ahead."
"How do you... view Immortals?"
