Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"Enough! Shen Yue, calm down!" Bai Yunfei shouted.

Shen Yue glared at Bai Yunfei, "Get out of here! This is a matter between Chu Ze and me, it has nothing to do with you!"

Bai Yunfei shook his head. "Shen Yue, you are no longer the same person you used to be. You have been blinded by hatred and you have lost your mind."

"Shut up!" Shen Yue roared, "What qualifications do you have to teach me? You don't know anything at all!"

Bai Yunfei sighed, "Shen Yue, I know you hate Chu Ze, but you can't kill him. When will the cycle of revenge end? You should let go of your hatred and start your life anew."

"Start over?" Shen Yue sneered, "My life has already been ruined by Chu Ze! What else can I start over?"

Bai Yunfei was silent. He knew that Shen Yue was right. Chu Ze had indeed ruined Shen Yue's life.

"Shen Yue, I... I know I was wrong..." Chu Ze said weakly, "I... I am willing to make it up to you..."

Shen Yue looked at Chu Ze coldly, "Make up? What can you do to make up? Can you turn back time? Can you let me go back to the past?"

Chu Ze was silent, he had nothing to say.

Shen Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm her excitement. "Chu Ze, I don't want to see you again. Go away and never appear in front of me again."

Chu Ze looked at Shen Yue, his eyes full of pain and reluctance. He knew that he could never win back Shen Yue's heart.

He slowly stood up, turned and left.

"Chu Ze!" Seeing this, Liu Ruyan hurriedly chased after him.

Bai Yunfei looked at the backs of the two and sighed. He knew that this ill-fated relationship would end in tragedy.

Shen Yue looked at Chu Ze's departing back, a complicated look flashed across her eyes. She slowly put down the bow and arrow in her hand, tears silently falling.

"Chu Ze, take care of yourself..." Shen Yue murmured to herself.

After Chu Ze left, he walked aimlessly on the street. His heart was filled with pain and confusion. He didn't know where to go.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Ruyan caught up with Chu Ze and shouted anxiously.

Chu Ze stopped and looked at Liu Ruyan, his eyes full of fatigue.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Liu Ruyan asked with concern.

Chu Ze shook his head, "I'm fine."

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. I will always be with you." Liu Ruyan said softly.

Chu Ze looked at Liu Ruyan, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that Liu Ruyan really cared about him.

"Ruyan, thank you." Chu Ze said gratefully.

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, this is what I should do."

The two walked side by side on the street, neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, Chu Ze stopped, looked at a restaurant in front of him, and said, "Ruyan, I'm a little hungry. Let's go in and eat something."

Liu Ruyan nodded, "Okay."

The two walked into the restaurant and found a seat by the window.

"Waiter, serve the wine and food!" Chu Ze shouted.

"Okay!" the waiter responded and turned to leave.

Chu Ze looked at the scenery outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Chu Ze sighed, "I wonder if I did something wrong?" Liu Ruyan held Chu Ze's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, you are not wrong. You just can't help yourself."

Chu Ze looked at Liu Ruyan with gratitude in his eyes. He knew that Liu Ruyan was comforting him.

"Ruyan, thank you." Chu Ze said again.

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, you are welcome."

At this time, the waiter came over with wine and food.

"Sir, your food and wine are here," said the waiter.

Chu Ze and Liu Ruyan started eating.

Halfway through the meal, Chu Ze suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Liu Ruyan, and asked, "Ruyan, do you... do you hate me?"

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't hate the emperor."

"Why?" Chu Ze asked.

Liu Ruyan looked at Chu Ze, her eyes full of affection, "Because I love the emperor."

Chu Ze's heart trembled suddenly. He didn't expect that Liu Ruyan would say such a thing.

He looked at Liu Ruyan with a complicated look in his eyes. He didn't know how to respond to Liu Ruyan's feelings.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Liu Ruyan asked worriedly when she saw Chu Ze didn't say anything.

Chu Ze took a deep breath and said, "Ruyan, I...I love you too."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan showed a surprised smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, are you...are you serious?" Liu Ruyan asked excitedly.

Chu Ze nodded, "I'm serious."

Liu Ruyan excitedly threw herself into Chu Ze's arms, tears silently streaming down her face.

Chu Ze hugged Liu Ruyan tightly, his heart filled with happiness and emotion.

He knew that he had finally found his true love.

At this moment, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open, and a woman dressed in black and wearing a veil walked in.

This woman is Shen Yue!

Shen Yue lifted her veil, revealing the face that Chu Ze had been thinking about day and night. Her eyes were red and her tears were still wet, obviously she had just cried. The originally noisy atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly stagnated, and the air was filled with tension. Liu Ruyan sat up from Chu Ze's arms in shock, her face pale.

Chu Ze was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Yue to appear here. His mind was blank, and he didn't know how to deal with this sudden change. He looked at Liu Ruyan in his arms, and then at Shen Yue standing at the door, and was speechless for a moment.

"Shen Yue...why...why are you here?" Chu Ze asked with difficulty, his voice as dry as the friction of sand.

Shen Yue did not answer, but just stood there quietly, looking at Chu Ze with complicated eyes. After a long time, she slowly spoke in a hoarse voice: "I will take you away."

"Take...take me away?" Chu Ze repeated Shen Yue's words, his eyes full of confusion.

Shen Yue walked towards Chu Ze step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on his heart. "Leave here, leave this place that makes you suffer."

Chu Ze looked at the determination in Shen Yue's eyes, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He knew that Shen Yue was doing this for his own good. But could he really just walk away? Could he abandon this beautiful country and these millions of people?
"Shen Yue, I...I am the emperor, I cannot leave." Chu Ze's voice was low and weak.

Shen Yue walked up to Chu Ze, reached out and stroked his cheek, her eyes full of tenderness. "I know, I know you can't help yourself. But look at yourself now, are you happy?"

Chu Ze was silent. He couldn't answer Shen Yue's question. Happy? He didn't know. Since he ascended the throne, he lived under pressure and responsibility every day and had long forgotten what happiness felt like.

"Come with me, Ze." Shen Yue's voice was filled with a hint of pleading, "Let's go to a place where no one knows us and live a simple and happy life, okay?" (End of this chapter)
