Chapter 615: If I Lose My Way
In the end, Chen Fan couldn't wait for the food to arrive and indulged in the beauty first.
Seeing his eager demeanor, coupled with their long-distance relationship, Su Ruochu only put up a token resistance this time before letting him have his way.
After some exertion, the two lay in bed chatting idly.
A while later, the food they ordered finally arrived.
Chen Fan put on his clothes to get the takeout, glancing at the time as he did so.
It had been nearly an hour.
The service was incredibly slow.
If there was a food delivery app, he would definitely give it a bad review.
Chen Fan didn't let Su Ruochu come out, instead bringing the food directly into the bedroom.
The two had lunch in the bedroom, and Chen Fan asked Su Ruochu if she had any classes in the afternoon.
Su Ruochu said she had one class.
Chen Fan suggested, "Why don't you skip it?"
Su Ruochu asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Chen Fan grinned, "Now that we've eaten, I've got my energy back. I'm planning for a second round."
Su Ruochu was stunned at first, then turned to flee, but Chen Fan caught her in an embrace and pinned her to the bed.
In the end, Su Ruochu didn't make it to her afternoon class, skipping for the first time. She simply couldn't bring herself to refuse, given how their long-distance relationship already made Chen Fan pitiful enough as her boyfriend.
Moreover, Su Ruochu herself had been longing for Chen Fan just as much in her heart.
They kept at it until sunset, finally laying in bed to chat leisurely.
Su Ruochu rested her head on Chen Fan's arm and said softly, "We... can't always be like this. We'll... we'll become degenerate."
Chen Fan smiled, "Let's not talk about being degenerate. I just want to ask you, do you like it?"
Su Ruochu turned her head away, refusing to answer such an embarrassing question.
"I wonder who it was just now calling out..."
"Ah! Don't say it! Don't say it out loud!"
Su Ruochu panicked immediately, rolling over to desperately cover Chen Fan's mouth.
The two naked bodies tussled for a while. Seeing Chen Fan just smiling and staring at her, Su Ruochu said softly,
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because you're beautiful."
"We've known each other for so many years. Haven't you seen enough?"
"I'll never get enough in a lifetime."
"Smooth talker."
"Wife..."
"Hm?"
Su Ruochu looked up at Chen Fan.
"What is it?"
Chen Fan gently held her hand, "If... if one day I change. Will you still love me?"
Su Ruochu rested her head on Chen Fan's shoulder, her eyes full of tenderness.
"I'll love you no matter how you change."
"What if... I become a bad person? If I change so much that even I feel like a stranger to myself, if I lose my way in the future and become a Chen Fan you don't recognize..."
"Will you still love me then?"
Su Ruochu lifted her head to look at him with concern.
"What's wrong?"
"Actually, since we met today, I've felt that you seem very tired and exhausted."
"Has something been bothering you lately?"
"Chen Fan, if something's wrong, you can tell me. Although... although I might not be able to help you, I... I hope you can tell me. We can face any difficulties together."
Looking into her pure eyes without a trace of impurity, Chen Fan suddenly grinned.
He reached out and pinched Su Ruochu's nose.
"Silly girl, you're overthinking it. I was just joking with you."
But Su Ruochu brushed Chen Fan's hand away and stared at him with unusual seriousness.
She took Chen Fan's right hand and raised her own left hand.
They both had a red string tied around their wrists.
"The red string carries our longing, one end tied to you, one end tied to me."
"We promised a lifetime together, and that means a lifetime. Even a minute or second less doesn't count."
"Chen Fan, if you really change in the future, like you said, if you become bad, doing anything to achieve your goals, even losing yourself, I'll still stay by your side..."
"I'll use every method I can to bring you back."
"If there's a next life, I want to use my remaining years to brew a cup of tea to warm you, hoping you'll remember to come home when the evening breeze blows gently."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
Chen Fan panicked immediately, hurriedly sitting up.
"What's wrong? I was just joking. Don't cry, don't cry..."
He clumsily wiped away Su Ruochu's tears while explaining with a smile.
"No one can guarantee what will happen in the future, but I know I came into this life for you. I won't let you go."
"If I change in the future, using any means necessary to achieve my goals, losing my conscience... at least I'll still have you."
"Because you are my conscience, the embodiment of everything good in me."
"As long as you're by my side, I'll never lose my way home."
Seeing that Su Ruochu's tears wouldn't stop, Chen Fan quickly apologized.
"It's all my fault, I spoke carelessly and nonsensically. Just treat what I said earlier as rubbish..."
Su Ruochu had seen right through him, Chen Fan's mood had indeed been very unsettled these past few days.
Wen Wan was only a small part of it, or perhaps Wen Wan didn't even count as a reason.
Because Chen Fan had already planned out Wen Wan's entire future for her.
The reason for Chen Fan's bad mood was the Zhao family.
He was about to confront the Zhao family head-on, a fight to the death.
The Zhao family was very influential, with even connections in the provincial government.
Although Chen Fan already had a plan, he still couldn't guarantee 100% success.
He was just a reincarnator, not a superhero.
His only advantage was his foreknowledge of the future, he had no cheat codes or system.
The Zhao family had already attempted to assassinate him twice. What if there was a third time, or a fourth?
Could he be so lucky again?
If Chen Fan's plan failed, facing the Zhao family's retaliation, he couldn't guarantee that he would survive.
That's why Chen Fan had said those nonsensical things to Su Ruochu earlier.
He didn't consider himself a good person.
But he definitely wasn't a truly bad person either.
In this life, he had people he wanted to protect, so he absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to harm those close to him.
The Zhao family, this dangerous factor, had to be eliminated.
Even if it meant using any means necessary, even if he had to become a bad person...
In this life, Chen Fan only wanted the people around him to be safe and well.
As for the rest, who cared if the world burned.
The phone on the bedside table vibrated once. Chen Fan picked it up and glanced at it.
"Wait a moment, Old Feng is coming up. I'll go to the door to get something."
After explaining to Su Ruochu, Chen Fan put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
He returned after a while with a thick envelope in his hand.
Su Ruochu stared at him with red eyes and asked,
"What's that?"
Chen Fan smiled and handed her the envelope.
"A gift for you."
"Open it and see."
Su Ruochu looked at Chen Fan curiously, then took the envelope and gently untied the string.
With a whoosh, a pile of things spilled out from the envelope.
A thick stack of property certificates, various stamped contracts, and strings of keys and access cards.
Su Ruochu was dumbfounded on the spot.
"This..."
