"What is it?"

Upon seeing Jun Wuyou, Shi Wuxie paused for a moment, but still stepped forward.

The moment Jun Wuyou saw him, she couldn't take her eyes off him, staring at him almost greedily, as she hadn't seen him this close in a long time.

She really...liked him so much, she really liked him...

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Chunhu Siqiong took a deep breath and then told him about the red embroidered ball. "Of course, whether or not you are willing to give Xiao Wuyou this opportunity depends on your attitude. Don't rush to refuse. I just hope that you can give Wuyou a chance, and... give yourself a chance too."

"A-Xie, I'm not trying to force you, I just... want you to give me a chance."

Jun Wuyou looked up, her eyes filled with love and hope. "I know this is a bit selfish, but... but I think that since we are both single, it's not wrong for me to bravely pursue love, and I'm willing to accept whatever the outcome may be."

"Let me think about it."

Seeing the girl's affectionate expression, Shi Wuxie's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "But I can't guarantee I'll give you the answer you want."

"I'm willing to wait, no matter how long it takes!"

Upon hearing that Shi Wuxie did not immediately refuse, Jun Wuyou was first taken aback, then happily smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly.

She won't give up until she's explicitly rejected!

"Um."

Seeing the girl's happy expression, Shi Wuxie pursed his lips, nodded, and turned to leave without any expression.

"You silly child!"

Seeing her sad and reluctant expression, Chunhu Siqiong patted her head tenderly, "Is it really worth loving so humbly?"

Her initial intention was to avoid letting Shi Wuxie remain a lonely person, but now she feels sorry for Jun Wuyou, this silly girl.

"Sister Qiong, it's worth it."

Jun Wuyou's eyes were slightly watery, but her face was full of determination. "As long as A Xie doesn't sentence me to death, I'm willing to wait."

"What if the answer is no?"

Chunhu Siqiong was moved by her persistence. "Do you still need that red embroidered ball?"

"Need not."

Jun Wuyou was silent for a moment, then finally shook her head. "The red embroidered ball is just an opportunity. If Axie won't even try, it means he really doesn't want to be associated with me. Then I'll really give up. After all, it's always been just my wishful thinking, hasn't it?"

I don't think so.

Thinking of Shi Wuxie's reaction earlier, Chunhu Siqiong's eyes flickered, but in the end she didn't say much. She just patted Jun Wuyou's head and said, "Don't worry, if that little zombie really doesn't want you, Sister Qiong will definitely find you a very good husband."

"Um."

Jun Wuyou nodded, but his smile was full of bitterness.

People you've liked for over a decade have almost become obsessions; how can you just let go of them?

"I want to eat more."

When Shi Wuxie returned, he saw Jun Feijue tugging at Di Moyu's sleeve and acting coquettishly.

"No, eating too much will cause indigestion."

Di Moyu, however, refused firmly with a stern face and put everything away.

"You're so mean, you won't even give me anything to eat!"

Upon hearing this, Jun Feijue immediately became angry and pushed him away, saying, "I'm carrying your child, how can you be a father like this!"
