Chapter 951: Chapter 951: Talking about Love

In the Plum Forest.

Lu Jianxi and Long San were admiring the plum blossoms.

The plum blossoms were still resplendent and delicate, and some of the snow beneath the trees had not yet melted, still making for a beautiful scene.

Long San started by slowly admiring the flowers outside before he sighed with emotion, "Indeed, only in the northern lands can one appreciate the proud character of plum blossoms. Look at this ice and snow all around, everything else is bleak, yet here stands a dazzling red."

Lu Jianxi approached Long San, "Plum blossoms are naturally like this. There’s no need to be as affected as the common poet. According to what you say, does it mean that peach blossoms and peonies are not flowers just because they don’t bloom in winter?"

"Long does not mean that," Long San spoke indifferently, "Winter plum blossoms, summer lotuses, spring peach blossoms, autumn begonias, each can adorn this world in vibrant colors. It’s just that some have a unique love for plum blossoms. Aren’t many poets fond of plum blossoms because they choose not to bloom in the spring when all flowers blossom, but in the cold winter instead? In my eyes, they are wise not to compete with others for beauty, but to admire themselves in their lone splendor during winter. In this regard, I find they suit you, Jianxi, quite well."

"You mean I am a plum blossom?" asked Lu Jianxi.

"Long means exactly that. Those who understand you will appreciate you greatly, while those who don’t will only see your pride," laughed Long San.

"And what about Nan Feng? What flower do you think she is, Lord Long San?" Lu Jianxi asked.

"In my view, she is the epiphyllum, to be admired from a distance, but not to be approached. She swept through my life in a gorgeous flash and disappeared just as magnificently, like a dream," Long San declared.

Lu Jianxi frowned involuntarily, "So, Lord Long San, you mean Nan Feng was just a passing interest, and now you admire me?"

"Sincerely admire you!"

"What do you admire about me?"

"I admire the pride in you, as well as your temperament, which is like the blazing sun at all times. I admire everything that represents the sunshine."

Lu Jianxi looked at Long San, "But I don’t admire you."

Long San smiled, "As expected."

Lu Jianxi turned and walked away while Long San stayed where he was.

He knew the consequences of saying these things to Lu Jianxi, but he felt that given her wisdom, she would be able to discern the truth in his words. And she was indeed very decisive; she liked what she liked and disliked what she did not.

Long San was also a man of decision. He was interested in Lu Jianxi. As for where this interest stemmed from? Perhaps from her pride, or maybe because of the war, she had to be constantly vigilant and spirited, which made her seem both sunny and composed. In this era, she was truly unique.

Long San hoped to understand her more.

But it was only later that he realized that girls are reserved and do not like things to progress too quickly. His behavior was more like that of a philanderer.

As for his admiration for Nan Feng, it had indeed faded ever since she left Fu County with Ye Ge.

One can’t obsess over things that don’t belong to oneself forever, and his rush to Shangzhi this time was upon hearing that Nan Feng had run into trouble, seeking to make a final resolution. If Nan Feng were no longer alive, he might not have moved on so quickly, but seeing that Nan Feng was fine and well with Ye Ge, he thought it was time to shift his focus.

Fittingly, Lu Jianxi suddenly broke into his life at this moment.

...

The dinner that day was hosted by Madame Song, with Ye Ge, Long San, and Lu Jianxi all present.

However, Madame Song felt that each person had their own preoccupations.
