Chapter 147 Another Update
Luh Xingze waited at the intersection where Ju Nanyi finished his duties, and upon seeing Ju Nanyi emerging, the setting sun’s afterglow shone on his figure, which was as clear and bright as the gentle breeze under the moonlight. He was tall and upright, possessing the steadiness to withstand fierce winds and waves and the reserved nature of embracing all rivers. For a moment, Luh Xingze was mesmerized. After a few years of not seeing him, Ju Nanyi, who had always been a big brother to him and whose presence had convinced him more than his own parents, now carried himself with a demeanor that reflected his character in every gesture and step.
He was no longer the naive villager who had never seen the world. Two years ago, Big Brother Nanyi had almost started from nothing, just like him, but had now reached this position today. With such a character and appearance, even strangers passing by would exclaim in admiration upon seeing Big Brother Nanyi. With such an appearance, Luh Xingze felt that daughters of Aristocratic Gentry Clans had indeed never had the chance to meet Big Brother Nanyi, otherwise, how could they not fall in love with him?
Two years later, would he become a person like Big Brother Nanyi?
Luh Xingze slightly lowered his head, lost in a moment of reverie, and then remembered Mother Ju’s concerns. He thought it was impossible, although all their colleagues were men, those who had befriended Big Brother Nanyi had already established their families and didn’t seem to fit the description either.
"Brother Nanyi—" Luh Xingze stepped forward, happily greeting Ju Nanyi.
"Xingze, why are you here?" Ju Nanyi was surprised, and glanced towards Yiren Street.
"Brother Nanyi, today is a day off, are you still working?" Luh Xingze approached, wanting to drape his arm around Ju Nanyi’s shoulders as he had always enjoyed hanging off him since he was young, but halfway through, he hesitated and lowered his hand, feeling an unspoken sanctity about the man that made one dare not profane.
"I had a few tasks originally, although they weren’t urgent. Since I had nothing else to do at home, I decided to take care of them," Ju Nanyi said with a slight smile, "What brought you here today?"
Ju Nanyi realized that Luh Xingze had been specially waiting for him, but with the Empress Dowager’s birthday approaching, they had a large amount of Life-Sustaining Scripture to transcribe, which he knew would take a very long time.
