Chapter 301: I'm Afraid You Won't Be Used to Living Here

"This house is too big, I'm afraid you won't be used to living here." Kuchiki Senya grinned: "After all, we're enemies on the battlefield."

"No, no, I really like the decor here, let's leave it like this, see you tonight."

Kai Kai Jisi hung up.

Kuchiki Senya looked at the number on the screen, smiled, and shook his head: "This general really has a personality."

Afterwards, he lay on the bed, closed his eyes, carefully recalled the moves of Baicheng Bi, and gradually fell asleep.

Whether it was because he had been too exhausted from last night's ordeal, Kuchiki Senya slept straight through until five in the evening, only waking when his stomach started growling.

Lin Aoxue wasn't home. Kuchiki Senya freshened up, walked out of the room, looked at the lavish spread of food on the table, and said: "When did you make this?"

"Just now, I made four steaks in total." Lin Aoxue said: "Quick, try them, see if they suit your taste?"

"Your cooking keeps getting better and better." Kuchiki Senya sat down at the dining table, looked at the steak on the plate: "Fried to a golden color, the aroma is overwhelming, this can absolutely be called perfect."

Kuchiki Senya took a bite, chewed a few times, and praised: "Truly worthy of an international top chef's masterpiece, several notches above our Huaxia chefs."

After a pause, he took another sip of soup and sighed: "Actually, I've always wanted to reunite with Jiang Xing, but now I'm afraid only regret remains."

Kuchiki Senya did not mention that he was going to visit her father with Lin Aoxue.

He couldn't bear to tell her his own decision, couldn't bear to see Lin Aoxue cry, and even more couldn't bear to see her hurt.

"Kuchiki Senya, at a time like this you're still thinking about reuniting with Jiang Xing, have you forgotten your mission?" Lin Aoxue said: "How long before you can extricate yourself from the Western dark world, I don't dare predict either. If you insist on going West..."

Kuchiki Senya glanced at Lin Aoxue, and said with a bitter smile: "Actually, Aoxue, if I could, I'd truly hope you could come with me. After all, I'm not at ease leaving you here, but..."

"I understand." A faint blush crossed Lin Aoxue's pretty face: "I know what you want to say, and you know what's on my mind. I won't hold you back, I'll take good care of myself, and wait for you to come back."

Hearing this, Kuchiki Senya showed a gratified smile: "Thank you, Aoxue."

That one "thank you" came from the heart.

"So, when are you leaving?" Lin Aoxue asked.

"I'll leave after all the trouble is resolved." Kuchiki Senya said: "After all, I promised you I would make the dark world completely quiet."

"Mm, I believe you." Lin Aoxue nodded slightly, her gaze gentle, seemingly able to drip water.

Kuchiki Senya reached out, took hold of Lin Aoxue's slender hand, then gazed at her seriously and said: "Aoxue, during the days I'm not here, protect yourself well."

"You must stay safe. There are always some dangerous beings in this world; even if your Wu Gong is unmatched, you still might not be able to guard against everything."

"Don't worry, Aoxue, I'll do my best to ensure my own safety."

"However, if there's really anywhere you need help, you can contact me anytime, and I'll do everything I can to assist."

"Aoxue, thank you for being willing to trust me. I will always remember your kindness, and never forget it for the rest of my life." Kuchiki Senya said.

The two of them had lived together for so long, their relationship growing more and more harmonious, and Lin Aoxue had finally found a state of being in love.

"Kuchiki Senya..." Lin Aoxue gripped Kuchiki Senya's wrist: "I truly hope that the two of us can stay in this state forever, never be separated, never have so many setbacks."

"We will, Aoxue." Kuchiki Senya gently patted her shoulder.

Both the man and the woman knew what truth lay hidden behind those words, yet neither of them pierced the paper-thin veil, because such an ending would simply be too pessimistic.

"Get ready, we're leaving now." Lin Aoxue said: "You go pack up, I'll call the driver to take us."

…………

"This hotel is twenty kilometers from here, I have to drive for an hour to get there." Kuchiki Senya checked his watch: "I'll drop you off here first, then head straight to the hotel to find you."
