Chapter 928: Chapter 927: Why Never Ask, Her Reason for Poisoning Me?

He truly came back to life.

Alive and appeared before her.

This time, his smile was not perfunctory, not false, not zombie-like, and not desperate.

Instead, it was gentle and soft like the morning breeze, warm like a spring day.

Even the lifeless aura he once had deep in his eyes was gone.

"Why?" Chu Qianli knew she shouldn’t ask, after all, Feng Dingchu’s transformation was a good thing.

Yet, she couldn’t help it.

What had happened? Why, in less than two hours, did he seem to have come back to life?

His whole being rejuvenated, bursting with vitality!

Feng Dingchu withdrew his gaze, turned around, and looked at the distant sky.

The smile at the corner of his mouth had disappeared, but he felt completely renewed.

As if he had merged with the spring day.

"At least I know that in this world, there really are people who care about me."

So, let the past be the past.

Some people, some emotions, were never meant to be his.

But from today, he was truly only Achu, no longer Ajiu.

Chu Qianli slowly walked up behind him, and this time, she could finally be sure that his mood had indeed improved.

"So, what do you want to do next?" she asked.

Feng Dingchu shook his head, still looking ahead, "Perhaps, wander the world."

"To let go of everything and wander the world is indeed a beautiful thing; others don’t know how much to envy."

"Do you envy it?" Feng Dingchu turned back to look at her still somewhat pale face from the cold.

"Of course I envy it." Chu Qianli also gazed toward the horizon, gently sighing, "Free of worries and desires, quiet and peaceful, how nice."

Without conspiracies, without deceit, just simple and straightforward, even without luxurious food, it was good.

Feng Dingchu smiled faintly and said nothing more.

The two of them stood by the river, looking into the distance, saying nothing.

But today’s atmosphere was unusually pleasant, even their silhouettes looked exceptionally good.

The wind gradually warmed up, just like the bright sun overhead.

...At noon, Old Lady Sun cooked noodles for them.

Though the ingredients were few, one could see she had put her heart into it.

But the taste of the noodles was indeed too bland.

"Don’t like it?" seeing Chu Qianli frown, Feng Dingchu picked up two pieces of meat and placed them in her bowl.

"A bit bland, probably because my appetite has been off these past few days, I’ve been wanting something stronger."

After a thought, Chu Qianli’s eyes brightened, and with a flick of her wrist, her hand immediately held a packet of something.

Feng Dingchu furrowed his brows slightly, "Aren’t you afraid of being coveted, showing off the secrets of your Universe Chain in front of others?"

"You are not an outsider, what is there to fear? Besides, last night when I gave them roasted meat, I took the items in hiding."

"There will always be suspicions."

"Let them suspect, most people won’t understand anyway, what’s there to fear?"

Feng Dingchu thought about it and felt that living freely was good.

Too many secrets can wear out the heart.

"You never ask me why the Empress Dowager wanted to poison me. Aren’t you curious?"

Chu Qianli had just opened the pickles packet to put it in her noodles.

His question startled her, nearly causing the pickle packet to fly out of her hand.

She dared not mention a word about it before, and yet, he brought it up on his own.

Her heart felt a bit uneasy, "Will... will you tell me?"
