Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1395 - 806: Emotions

At such an awkward moment, it’s time to fully showcase a person’s instinctive reaction!

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly stood up, picked up the tea beside her, and splashed it onto the screen.

If time could stop.

They might all be frozen.

The computer fizzled and went black.

Sui Yi remained silent.

Gong Jiu glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, who was holding a tea cup and hadn’t yet hidden her embarrassment and awkwardness nor completely shed her shyness, and then at Sui Yi, who was holding a phone silently.

A second of wisdom.

When Su Zimu and the others heard and came out..

Gong Jiu took a deep breath: "Sui Yi, you’re so bad! I never thought you were such a person!"

"Showing Island Country romance action films to Zhouzhou!"

"The most important thing is! You didn’t even call me!!!"

The crowd fell silent.

Zhou Zhiruo realized in a second that Gong Jiu was trying to bail her out.

She frowned, then elegantly put down the cup and said to Sui Yi with indifference: "Next time, don’t show me such things.."

Sui Yi: "..."

Uh, wait a minute.

"Who’s Zhouzhou?" Sui Yi asked.

Gong Jiu pointed at Zhou Zhiruo: "Her."

Sui Yi: "Why call her Zhouzhou?"

"Easy to call, sounds nice, catchy!"

"I see, you’re really smart."

"Of course."

Su Zimu: "Gong Jiu, you’ve been distracted again."

Gong Jiu: "..."

Oh right~

"Sui Yi, you’re really too bad!"

Well then, have the girls finally seized an opportunity?

They can begin to tease Mr. Sui without restraint, venting the emotions held back for ten years.

Because even though they had been brewing for so long, the person involved remained as indifferent and calm as ever.

If that’s the case, does their overperformance mean they themselves are not mature enough.

So, stay calm.

They’ve always been calm, whether eating or singing, as if it’s just a regular gathering.

SO, the time for revenge has come!

Just as these elegant beauties were ready to explode.

Sui Yi reached out, flipped the computer, screen facing himself, finger pressed a key.

"Recently discovered that what’s repairable isn’t just women’s gynecology, but also computers."

Typed Magnetic Sensation, clicked a few times, the screen rebooted.

Finger flipped again!

"Art Mieow~~"

Ah!!!!!

Su Zimu and others swiftly turned away!

Except Gong Jiu and Flower Demon, also Ming Lanyuan and Gong Ling.. well, quite a few.

They looked wordlessly at the screen displaying——

"Attack, my magical pet, Art Mieow!"

Everyone: "..."

Haha, haha. (Pure parody)

Sui Yi’s surprise tactics obviously disrupted Su Zimu and others’ purge, making them exasperated and amused, but...

As Sui Yi slowly walked over and embraced Gong Jiu.

"So glad to see you all again"

"Also, I missed you all"

"Missed very much"

A witch, she would never cry, never be sentimental, wouldn’t completely release her emotions like a human, she could only gently hug her dear friends, carefully cooling and sharpening her Witch Body, using Inner Strength as warmth, so her friends wouldn’t feel cold, wouldn’t be harmed.

Though she couldn’t feel the other’s body warmth, nor the wetness of tears falling on her shoulder.

But she knew something was falling.

So, do we still need to wait?

Yhan Qingwu, eyes red, hugged Sui Yi, then let go.

Su Zimu also smiled and hugged Sui Yi...

Hugging is the best way.

Welcome back, Sui Yi.

This atmosphere can make one cry.

Aunt Ye Xiuling ran to the kitchen with red eyes.

If outsiders saw these red-eyed, inarticulate and emotionally uncontrollable girls present, recognized their faces, understood their identities, they’d probably be dumbfounded.

In fact, Sui Yi might not even know that her pals came from all over the world for this gathering.

Also for the uncontrollable emotions.

They met during the most beautiful budding years, whether they relied on each other for life, encountered each other by chance, had deep feelings, or had opposing stances, or...

Being a flower nurtured by the best years, how could it not be so beautiful that it’s hard to part with.

Just like two girls in high school who argued over an eraser and didn’t contact each other even after college graduation. Many years later, at the ten-year reunion, as they stood there pale, with noisy children through a door, cautiously pretending not to care as they discerned whether the other was the annoying person in their memories...

Eventually, they would recognize each other, then let go of their children and step forward, saying, "Long time no see...XXX"

Then share a smile, turning away with reddened eyes.

Time is a very miraculous force.

Friendship is like wine, years like a song.

Take a sip of wine, sing a song, making one’s eyes moist, fingertips damp.

It quietly slipped away.

————————

Wang Qing furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at the deep affection among these people...

She didn’t feel out of place, for she had witnessed the warmth and coldness of human relationships, though the cold was hers, the warmth belonged to others.

But after all these years, regardless of the cold and warmth, she was at peace.

Only now, she felt the scene before her... she felt she didn’t fit in here, yet also felt she shouldn’t distance herself.

Thus.

She leaned against the cold glass behind her,

"Sui Yi, who were you on the phone with just now?"

"Xu"

"Who?"

"Ye Zixu"

"Sob~ We were all worried you were too exhausted to contact you after you came back, yet you took the initiative to contact a man, a man!"

"Hm? He called me.."

"Then why did you answer!"

"....."

————————

The next day, around six or seven, Sui Yi got up and when she went downstairs, she saw a figure already busy in the kitchen.

It was Su Zimu.

Wearing a gray khaki cotton vest, Su Zimu was making breakfast. Seeing Sui Yi dressed similarly, she smiled, "Good morning"

"Good morning... breakfast?"

Su Zimu took the pastries out of the oven and winked, "Yesterday I bragged that a certain neighbor would visit my elderly master who has passed the age of seventy. If I don’t make her happy a bit, it might not be that easy to succeed."

But she didn’t get a response from Sui Yi, just saw Sui Yi quietly watching her.

Su Zimu blinked, glanced at herself in the glass briefly, and smiled, "Hm, am I old now?"

Ten years is undoubtedly a sharp ****** for a woman.

If a man looked at her this way, she would find it quite rude because she didn’t rely on her looks to please any man.

But if it’s a close friend who is still young and even more beautiful than before, being scrutinized seriously after ten years brings a kind of novel... thrill!

It’s like completing a meticulously prepared academic report, facing the world’s most rigorous and authoritative academic expert...

She must ensure she is outstanding enough to be recognized by the other party, thus continuing to find herself in the academic pursuit she has been committed to all her life.

Because ten years have passed, and she has become more excellent—because the new friend she brought back is equally excellent.

"If you both hadn’t spoken, I would have thought time had never left."

"And if you speak?"

"Time is beautiful."

The morning light was wonderful, Sui Yi’s expression serious, gentle, her eyes shining with light.

Su Zimu also smiled seriously, "If there were a man who said such moving words to me as you do, I’d marry him."

"Seems it’s my fault"

"It certainly is"

After teasing each other.

The others certainly wouldn’t wake up this early, Su Zimu was very sure, so she kept all the breakfast warm. The clothes she wore were still from Sui Yi’s place, but fortunately, these girls all had great figures, and elastic vests could be worn interchangeably, such as the ones both Sui Yi and Su Zimu were wearing, just that Sui Yi was slightly taller.

After having breakfast, Sui Yi took a spring coat and walked along the path with Su Zimu to the Su Family.

Spring breeze, peach cherry blossoms, beauties gently approaching.

Such a morning was wonderful.

Since they were neighbors, and Sui Yi wasn’t one to be formal, there was naturally no gift brought.

She was a very casual person.

The Su Family liked her casualness, enthusiastically welcoming Sui Yi’s visit, yet each one was also sensible, not rashly asking about Sui Yi’s whereabouts over the past ten years. They seemed to understand that Sui Yi’s identity was not restricted to the level of ordinary people, so they treated her like an ordinary person, which made her feel natural and good.

Thus, Sui Yi felt the most comfortable attitude since returning—excluding those like Gong Jiu and the others.

Although the old man still had a cheerful smile, subtle signs of aging could be seen. But he didn’t mind because growing old gracefully was the most beautiful demeanor they learned from the years.

Sui Yi sat next to the old man, chatting about the past, the future, and the present. The latter laughed heartily from time to time, while Sui Yi occasionally tilted her head and smiled gently in the sunlight.

However, when it came to her experiences over the past ten years, Sui Yi didn’t hide anything. For people like the old man, who were engaged in academic research, they had seen all sorts of strange things. While Sui Yi’s experiences might sound incredible, the old man didn’t doubt their authenticity, he was just very excited; "Really? Many martial arts masters are there?"

Sui Yi nodded.

After the excitement, the old man began to consider the implications: "If so, would it greatly impact the balance of power in this world, given that those people’s martial arts are quite... hmm, if it’s as you said, those mid-to-low-level masters there are equivalent to our top-level ones here..."

Regarding this question, since only Su Zimu was present, Sui Yi’s response was very frank: "I’m not sure."

Not sure?

"The barriers between these worlds have been quite fragile from the start due to certain reasons and erosion over time. After the last incident... there are several of those Gates that cannot be closed, and some people might not accurately find the path back. If they stay, the most likely scenario is that they drift along the time currents into our world."
