In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

Tao Jingyang raised an eyebrow at his expression: "No fun, let's wander around together."

It felt like a very sincere invitation.

As he spoke, he took another step forward, and Xie Bi'an moved forward as well.

Tao Jingyang shielded himself with his hand, raised his head and glared at Xie Bi'an: "Xie Bi'an, why are you stopping me?"

After speaking, he pushed Xie Bi'an aside and prepared to walk around him.

Xie Bi'an still refused and made a move forward, but Li Chengze stopped him by saying, "Let her in."

With no obstacles in his way, Tao Jingyang walked straight towards the unruly Second Prince, grabbed his sleeve, and said:

"What are we doing staying inside? Let's go out for a walk together."

Li Chengze didn't resist and just let her pull him along.

Its body was leaning backward, which probably showed the owner's reluctance.

Li Chengze was pulled forward step by step, the wind blowing up the hem of his clothes, outlining his somewhat thin figure.

His other hand hung down at his side, swaying slightly with his body.

"You certainly have a good heart." Li Chengze looked at the orange-red sky, then at the sleeve that was being pulled.

He was also puzzled as to why she was so good-natured.

He then comforted himself, thinking that Tao Jingyang's origins were unknown and that he possessed exceptional martial arts skills.

I'm just doing this to create a good connection.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze felt a little better and began to genuinely experience this "freedom".

Tao Jingyang had been silently observing the actions of the person behind him, and seeing that he showed no sign of resistance,

And when she went from being "reluctant" to "voluntarily following along," she made conversation by saying something that wasn't really a topic of conversation:

"Your house is quite beautiful, isn't it?"

This layout clearly shows careful planning; most homes don't have such ingenious ideas.

"You flatter me, young lady." He said it casually, but he also found it pleasant to hear.

This mansion was designed by my own hand, so naturally it can't compare to the mansion bestowed by the emperor.

They do have some good taste, I suppose.

^ v^?

Seeing that his mood had clearly improved, Tao Jingyang knew that he had said the right thing.

To take advantage of someone's misfortune—no, to strike while the iron is hot—he said, "This sunset is so beautiful; those over there look like sparks flying from a blacksmith's hammer."

Tao Jingyang pointed to one side, saying, "His words may be rough, but the reasoning is sound."

As the sun was about to disappear behind the mountain shadows, Li Chengze spoke up: "Let's go down the mountain."

Tao Jingyang looked eastward, then turned back and said, "At first glance, the setting sun sinks into the red waves."

He paused for a moment, then turned to face Li Chengze.

When she realized that Li Chengze was also turning to look at her, she looked at the moon, which was now high in the sky:

"The pale moon seems to be rising into the sky, concealing its face."

He raised his chin and gestured towards the eastern moon.

Li Chengze followed her gaze and looked in that direction. Instantly, the sky darkened completely.

Li Chengze savored the line, "The pale moon seems to be rising into the sky, its face concealed."

The voices of those around me chimed in at just the right moment: "The sunset may be gone, but we can still enjoy the moon; the scenery may be gone, but there will be another beautiful view."

How could it disappear?

The second prince, arms tucked into his hands, gazed at the moon, tilted his head, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be knowledgeable in poetry and literature."

“Usually, I’m the one who memorizes this line,” Tao Jingyang answered frankly.

Li Chengze looked slightly surprised and immediately turned around:

"Memorized? Which poem is it? I don't think I've ever seen it in a book before."

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu, watching from a distance, were keeping a close eye on the two men's every move.

Seeing their prince getting along so well with Tao Jingyang, the two of them were quite puzzled.

Fan Wujiu: I won't speculate anymore; if I guess wrong, His Highness will laugh at me.

Tao Jingyang lowered his head, kicked a pebble, and slowly walked forward: "I don't know, this sentence just suddenly flashed into my mind."

Li Chengze listened, but didn't believe it. So he continued to chat with Tao Jingyang about poetry and literature for a few more minutes.

They even exchanged a few lines of the "Flying Flower Order" game.

After several rounds, Li Chengze seemed to have no choice but to believe it, because Tao Jingyang knew nothing about the authors or allusions in the poems he was referring to.

Li Chengze himself was completely unaware of the author and allusions of the poems that Tao Jingyang wrote.

However, Tao Jingyang's poem was of extremely high quality, with some lines even being considered masterpieces.

At this moment, doubts deepened, and Li Chengze's instincts caused alarm bells to ring constantly in his mind.

What is the purpose of all this elaborate scheming?

Li Chengze felt nervous, but the woman beside him gave him a sense of reassurance.

Li Chengze couldn't help but think of the various struggles in the imperial court, and how no one he had ever met had ever harbored goodwill.

Well, it's best if this one doesn't exist.

When she turned around, she saw a face that concealed patience and a barely perceptible sorrow...

She immediately turned around, because she knew without even thinking that this man had become suspicious of her again.

However, the goal has been achieved.

Although Tao Jingyang only said a few words, it made it clear that Fan Xian was no longer the first person to come from the "Immortal Realm".

Hearing the footsteps behind her, she couldn't help but look up at the bright moon and exhale a breath of stale air.

This is just the beginning; things are about to get busy.
