Chapter 1146: Chapter 583 Shock Persuasion to Stay Dilapidated

The night sky, untouched by pollution, held a blue beauty that language simply couldn’t describe.

Moreover, this beauty was accessible to everyone, the old men in the countryside could look up at it with their pipes, chic young ladies and handsome guys in the city could gaze at it, even cats and dogs could lift their heads and see.

How else could someone say that there are only two things in this world that can truly shake the human soul? One is the lofty morality within us; the other is the brilliant starry sky above.

But often, people easily overlook the things that are always there, not realizing their value until they’re gone.

Take Chen Yingjun by the river, for example, looking up at the night sky with a poetic expression: "I like being here... Not only because the sky is so clear and the stars so beautiful, but also because you’re here."

Then he turned his head to the girl next to him and said, in a tone as if reciting poetry, with deep affection, "Being with you, I don’t even know whether to look at the stars in the sky or into your eyes..."

How sincere the rest of his words were, only the devil knew, but the beauty of the starry sky here at least had some basis in fact. The city where they lived might have developed, but its starry sky certainly wasn’t as beautiful as it was here.

Or, for instance, Yan Fei hugging his wife rocking on a small boat, also looking up, yet hugging his wife restlessly, eliciting continuous chiding from Miss Xu Xiaoyan: "Can’t you just sit still for a bit?"

So Yan Fei sat still for a very short while, then continued to fidget.

"Hey, stop moving." The girl swatted away the hand he tried to sneak around her. "Why don’t you go talk to Senior Brother Liu? I think he really has something troubling him, look at the state he’s in now..."

No need to mention it, even half-blind Old Gong in the field could tell that Liu JinXue was definitely troubled.

But Yan Fei was also helpless: "What can I do if he doesn’t speak up?"

"Go and ask him again, he’s been sullen for half the day, go ask him now." Xu Xiaoyan stood up. "It’s late, I’m going to bed. You go talk to Senior Brother Liu. After all, he has helped us before. Now that he’s in trouble, it’s not right for you to be so indifferent!"

In truth, Yan Fei wasn’t very good at comforting people either, and with Liu JinXue stuck in his ways, it was a rare event if the two could come to any result in a short period of time.

Even because of Yan Fei’s probing, encountering Yan Fei now made Liu JinXue respond irritably, "What are you here for again?"

Yan Fei didn’t have a good expression either, facing this stubborn bookworm with a temper like a stinking rock in a toilet, his patience was extremely limited: "What’s the reason you’re here, eh?"

Liu JinXue turned his head: "I’ve already said it, other than bringing Boss Luo over to have a look, I’m telling you that I don’t want to engage in this flipping business anymore. From now on, you deal directly with business matters, and I won’t interfere in anything else."

"Can those two decrepit greenhouses of yours still make money?" Yan Fei sneered.

"Who says they can’t!" Liu JinXue got immediately furious when he heard Yan Fei disparage his greenhouses. Unfortunately, even he didn’t have much confidence as he said it; with growing costs for cultivation and an increasing number of cultivators, who knew whether it could continue in the future? "As long as I don’t starve to death, that’s all that matters. It’s my business, and it has nothing to do with you."

"I’m worried you might starve to death, aren’t I?" Yan Fei rolled his eyes.

"I wouldn’t starve even if I had to beg!" Liu JinXue was unbearably annoyed, his heart in turmoil. This was the scholar in him—when making a decision, there was no turning back, and now that everything had been done, he regretted not just the loss of a source of income but also the possibility of having offended someone. "You go busy yourself with your tasks. I’m going out for a walk..."

"Where would you go in the middle of the night?" Yan Fei asked in a softer tone when he heard Liu Jin’s eased voice, no longer so acrimonious.

"Just a walk, to get some breeze by the river!" Liu JinXue said, walking past him without looking back.

"Hey, that way is..." Yan Fei called after him from behind.

"Don’t follow me; I want to be alone for a bit." Liu JinXue turned back and snapped angrily, cutting off Yan Fei’s words.

"I was saying that way..." Yan Fei explained.

"I’m not jumping in the river, why do you insist on following me?" Liu JinXue was extremely dissatisfied. "I come here and I don’t even have personal freedom? They say, deal or no deal, the trust remains, but you seem ready to not even consider me a brother anymore?"

Yan Fei stopped in his tracks: "..."

Finally, with his ’personal freedom,’ Liu JinXue huffed and pushed open a small door behind the cattle farm. He didn’t even glance at the dilapidated shed next to a few trees as he walked straight to the riverbank and took a deep breath.

Then he heard what sounded like panting coming from those dilapidated sheds behind him.

Turning around, he saw Yan Fei standing silently at the door once again, which truly angered him, yet he felt helpless. Even with his scholarly disposition, he was no longer a child, having been in university and mixed in society for so long; he knew who was well-intentioned towards him.

He sighed again, somewhat helplessly: "Look, little brother, are you worried about what I’d do? I’ve been really troubled these past few days. Let me calm down and think things through, then we can talk, alright? Can you go back for now and let me be alone for a bit?"

Yan Fei also felt helpless: "I’m just worried about you being alone..."

"Worried about what? You’re not afraid this place is haunted, are you?" Liu JinXue started to get agitated again, turning around to kick one of the ramshackle sheds. "Or are you worried I’ll tear down and steal your raggedy sheds?"
