Chapter 103 An Unexpected Encounter.
On a sunny afternoon, as bright as golden silk, the city's clamor rose and fell like surging waves. Jun Luochuan had just finished dealing with the intricate and tangled affairs of his sect and was preparing to find a quiet and secluded corner, like a paradise, to continue immersing himself in the profound world of cultivation.
He strolled casually down the bustling, crowded street, his figure standing out somewhat from the crowd. His mind was completely absorbed in the mysterious and boundless realm of cultivating immortality; the noisy crowd around him seemed like a mere illusion, not even in his perception.
On the other side of the city, Su Yao, like a cheerful little bird, laughed and played with several friends on a bustling street. Today, she wore a snow-white dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her light and joyful steps, like petals dancing in a breeze, resembling a lily blooming brilliantly in the wind. Her radiant face shone with a smile as warm and ardent as the sun, capable of instantly melting the coldest ice and warming hearts.
Su Yao and her friends chatted and laughed, their cheerful voices as clear and melodious as silver bells. Their attention was completely drawn to the dazzling array of goods on the street, and they did not notice Jun Luochuan, who was alone and deep in thought ahead.
Just then, Jun Luochuan seemed to be struck by a flash of inspiration, suddenly stopping in his tracks, as if he had remembered something of utmost importance and urgency. Su Yao, who happened to be standing behind him, was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins and couldn't stop in time, so she bumped into his strong and broad back without any warning.
"Oh dear!" Su Yao exclaimed involuntarily, her voice as delicate as a startled fawn.
Jun Luochuan frowned, his brows furrowing like two intertwined dragons. He turned around unhappily, his face bearing a coldness as cold as winter frost.
"Who was so careless?" His voice was icy cold, like a chilling wind from the deepest abyss, sending shivers down one's spine.
Su Yao raised her head, and the moment her gaze met Jun Luochuan's deep and sharp eyes, her eyes widened, like two dazzling gems.
"It's you!" The two said in unison, as if they were telepathically connected, their voices standing out clearly in the noisy street.
Jun Luochuan never expected to run into Su Yao on this bustling street. A wave of surprise surged in his heart, but his proud face remained as cold as ever, as if covered by a layer of ice and snow that had never melted for a thousand years.
"Hmph, what a troublemaker you are." He parted his thin lips slightly, his words carrying an undisguised disdain.
Su Yao was not deterred by his indifference at all. Instead, she smiled like a flower blooming in spring, a smile so bright that it seemed to dispel all the gloom.
"This means we're destined to be together!" Her eyes curved into crescent moons, sparkling with a lively light, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Jun Luochuan shook his head helplessly, as if facing an unreasonable child, and turned to leave this place of trouble.
"Wait!" Su Yao called out eagerly, her voice filled with longing and anticipation. "Since we've run into each other, let's go for a walk together."
Jun Luochuan stopped and slowly turned around, giving her a look that seemed to see through everything.
"I don't have that kind of free time." His voice remained indifferent, like the cold wind in a cold night.
Su Yao refused to give up easily. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed his clothes as if grasping at a lifeline.
"Don't be so heartless, just keep me company," she said coquettishly, her voice as sweet as candy, making it hard to refuse.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, like an abandoned kitten, Jun Luochuan felt as if the solid iceberg in his heart had been gently struck by an invisible warm current, and softened slightly.
"Alright, I'll only stay with you for a little while." His tone was still stiff, but it already revealed a hint of compromise.
Su Yao was as happy as if she had won the lottery, and jumped up excitedly.
"That's great!" Her cheers, like joyful musical notes, floated in the air.
So they walked side by side down the bustling street. Su Yao, as if she had opened a floodgate, kept talking about all sorts of interesting things, her words flowing like a never-ending river. Jun Luochuan occasionally responded with a few words, like ripples on a calm lake.
"Look, that thing is so cute!" Su Yao exclaimed with delight, pointing to a small and exquisite ornament on a stall. Her voice was full of girlish innocence and curiosity.
Jun Luochuan glanced in the direction she was pointing and shrugged slightly, offering no comment.
"Do you think it looks good on me?" Su Yao asked expectantly, her eyes sparkling with a desire for affirmation.
Jun Luochuan snorted, "It doesn't matter what you wear." Although his words were cold, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
Su Yao pouted, like a wronged child, "Can't you say something nice?" Her complaint was tinged with a hint of coquettishness.
As they walked, they came to a dessert shop with a cozy interior and a sweet aroma.
"I want to eat ice cream, will you come in with me?" Su Yao said, her voice full of longing and anticipation.
Jun Luochuan hesitated for a moment, as if he were having a fierce internal struggle, but in the end he followed her into the store.
At the store, Su Yao ordered a large ice cream and couldn't wait to eat it, getting ice cream all over her face, looking like a naughty child.
Looking at her, Jun Luochuan couldn't help but smile. His smile was like the first melting of snow, warm and charming.
"Look at you, you look like a little kitten," he said, his voice tinged with affection.
Su Yao laughed too, "Then you help me wipe it off." She said coquettishly, her eyes full of trust and dependence.
Jun Luochuan reluctantly picked up a tissue and gently wiped the ice cream off her face. At that moment, the atmosphere between them became somewhat subtle, as if an invisible current was passing through the air, making their hearts race...
