The sun's rays shone from the roof to the windows and into the room through the cracks, creating a bright line on the large and messy desk. The pearl on the desk was no longer dazzling in the brightly lit room, leaving only a faint glow. The incense burner in the corner of the room had been extinguished in the middle of the night, but there was still a faint fragrance in the air.
Fu Wang, who was bent over the desk and seriously fiddling with a small toy, finally stopped what he was doing. He picked up the delicate toy on the desk and looked around, a trace of satisfaction appearing in his eyes. He put the toy back on the desk and twisted his wrist. He put on a robe that was draped over the chair and pushed open the door to walk out of the study.
The air outside was much fresher than the study that had been tightly shut for the entire night. Fu Wang stood at the door of the study with a robe draped over his shoulders. He squinted slightly under the glare of the sun.
He did not need to look at the room next door to know that Chu Yu had already left. Ever since she was completely capable of fighting against demonic beasts, as her 'teacher', he had not given her any more homework. Chu Yu very consciously found people to practice with and did not let him worry about her. He was busy learning many things, and Chu Yu also had her own ideas. The two of them did not spend as much time together as they did a few months ago.
Thinking about how Chu Yu left early and returned late every day, only eating dinner together before going to rest and leaving early in the morning, Fu Wang could not help but shake his head. He was very sure that Chu Yu was avoiding him.
She was very secretive and was not in a hurry to avoid him. Instead, she was slowly changing, as if she was afraid that he would notice something. But Fu Wang was a clever person. When she had that intention, Fu Wang had noticed it.
But even if he noticed, Fu Wang could not do anything about it.
In the past half a year, Fu Wang had tried many different methods, but none of them worked. Sometimes, when Fu Wang looked at the girl, he could not help but feel that she was actually a little turtle. She did not get angry no matter how he knocked on her turtle shell. She looked very gentle, but her mouth was as hard as the turtle shell. No matter how he hinted or made it clear, she did not express her opinion. When it came to flirting, she would shrink her head and let him flirt with her.
It really … made him feel tender and helpless. He wanted to use some excessive methods to force her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only watch helplessly as the little turtle poked its head out and innocently looked at him a few times before quietly retreating back. Other than knocking on the turtle shell to vent his anger, what else could he do?
If she had rejected him, Fu Wang would have had a way to take advantage of her, but she did not give him the chance. Or rather, she did not seem to be able to reject his good intentions. But she wouldn't respond. If you treated her well, she would work hard to treat you even better. Other than that, there was nothing.
She was unwilling, so Fu Wang could not force her. His personality determined that he would not use violence to achieve his goals. Furthermore, he cared more and more about Chu Yu's feelings with each passing day, so his hands were tied. He could not use any of the little tricks he had in the past, and they were stuck in a stalemate for so long.
Seeing that half of the one year period had already passed, Fu Wang did not show it on his face, but he was a little anxious.
"You're actually this soft-hearted, unlike Fu Wang." His voice was as light as a sigh as it dissipated into the morning light.
Fu Wang was just about to walk down the stairs when he saw something from the corner of his eye. He turned his head and saw something on the windowsill. His heart stirred and he walked over to take a look. Sure enough, it was as he thought. There were a few jade slips, two stalks of spirit medicine that he could eat right now, and a piece of paper.
— — "I accidentally obtained something yesterday. You should be able to use it. Also, you still need to rest tonight. "
Touching the slightly blurry handwriting that had been soaked by the dew, Fu Wang smiled, but he could not help but sigh.
In the past half year, whatever she gave him, she never gave it to him in person. Only when he inadvertently glanced at something and a piece of paper would he know what she had given him. Moreover, on that piece of paper, there would always be a few words like "I accidentally picked it up", "I accidentally dug it up", or "I accidentally obtained it". It had to make people feel that these things were easy to obtain.
There were a few times when he saw her holding something and looking left and right. Then she would place it on his desk or windowsill with a guilty conscience, and then quietly slip away. It was as if she was doing something bad. From beginning to end, she exuded a familiar sense of foolishness. Fu Wang couldn't help but recall the day when he first met her, and the corners of his mouth naturally curled up into an arc.
He was never stingy with treating Chu Yu well, and although she did not seem to care at the time, she would secretly treat him even better in the future. This feeling of being cherished and being rewarded was very captivating.
In a way, Fu Wang was a very stingy person. He was never stingy with his feelings and true feelings for other people. His feelings for Chu Yu often made him feel uneasy, so he was even more anxious to make Chu Yu feel the same way as him.
He wanted her to toss and turn restlessly in bed because of him, worrying about personal gains and losses.
Then, would she feel the same way? Fu Wang was not too sure. He put away the things on the windowsill, left a stalk of spiritual medicine to be processed, and put it into the pot on the small stove to stew. He then sat on the recliner beside the small stove. It had been a long time since he had a good rest. Suddenly lying down and lazily enjoying the sunshine felt very good.
This rocking chair was made by Fu Wang when he was recovering from his injuries. Later on, when he recovered, he became fascinated with arrays, pills, and other miscellaneous things, so this rocking chair was abandoned. He did not know when it was taken over by Chu Yu, but it was placed in the courtyard. Every night after dinner, Chu Yu would curl up on the rocking chair, covered with a blanket, and stare blankly at the sky.
At that time, she always seemed very sad, as if her heart was filled with worries. Maybe she missed home. She missed the world that she missed but never mentioned in the end. She had never told him that she wanted to go back, but Fu Wang knew that she wanted to go back. So, what if she could really go back one day?
What if he made her believe that she could never go back? If that was the case, would she be able to stay by his side with peace of mind?
Fu Wang believed that Chu Yu had that kind of feelings for him. He still remembered that at that time, Chu Yu was not as merciless as she was now. Moreover, at that time, she would only choose male demons to practice her moves on, and never made a move on female demons.
He felt that it was inappropriate, so one day, he went with her. Chu Yu, who had never made a move on female demons, suddenly pursed her lips and made a move without saying anything when she saw the fox demon teasing him. Later on, when she saw his smile, she blushed and ran away. It really left a deep impression on him.
Even if it was not love, even if it was just care, as long as there was that kind of feeling, he was confident that she would not leave him. It was just that she had too many misgivings and did not reveal anything to him, so he did not know where to start.
The rocking chair stopped with a creak, and then slowly began to rock again. White smoke rose in spirals, and Fu Wang's eyes were half closed. He glanced at the bubbling furnace, and the light in his eyes could not be seen clearly.
She had been frightened by his injury when he first came to the secret realm. Even if his body was very good now, she would always gather these spiritual herbs for him to bring back. His body was a hybrid half-demon body, and he had no talent in cultivation. No matter how hard he cultivated for a hundred years, it could not compare to Chu Yu's one month of cultivation.
He had felt this kind of difference every moment since he was abandoned at birth. Those who looked down on him and bullied him could easily reach a height, but he had to constantly chase after it, and use all his strength to achieve it.
Unwillingness, anger, and the desire to change, these thoughts were always very strong. In the past, he would show it, but as he grew older, these thoughts were gradually hidden in his heart, waiting for the day to germinate.
In the past, he wanted to rely on Tianfeng Jinyu to obtain power and power step by step. So what if he had a half-demon body, he would eventually become an existence that those people looked up to.
He was an ambitious person, and even now, he had not changed. He did not deny that he loved Chu Yu, or it could be said that because he understood the meaning of love, it made him more eager to obtain power than before.
