Chapter 429 Tie Xi's Side Story: Obsession

Bottles were scattered on the grass. Tie Xi, his cheeks flushed, threw the empty bottle aside, then exhaled, his brows furrowed, looking quite uncomfortable.

In reality, he couldn't drink at all, nor could he handle alcohol. However, he would only dream of Wenxi when he was drunk, and so he would drink incessantly, to an astonishing degree.

A wave of dizziness washed over him, and Tie Xi felt his vision blur for a moment. Then, a figure suddenly appeared. Tie Xi was stunned for a moment, and then, with tears welling up in his eyes, he choked out his hand and reached out, trembling, to touch her.

Tie Xi: "Sissi..."

Tetsuhi: "I've finally seen you again..."

Without Wenxi, Tiexi lived a life worse than death, each day feeling like an eternity. He missed Wenxi terribly. He even considered going with her, but Wenxi had told him to live well.

But how can he live well without Wenxi?

He's no different from a walking corpse now!

Wenxi…

Tie Xi: "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."

Tie Xi: "Xixi, please come back..."

Teshi: "As long as I'm with you, I'll go anywhere. I don't want to live in the human world anymore, I don't want to..."

Tie Xi felt incredibly guilty. If it weren't for what he said, Wen Qian wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. He thought he must have been bewitched at the time, otherwise, how could he have said such a thing?!

His body went limp and he fell backward. Tie Xi slowly closed his eyes, and then, under the influence of alcohol, he drifted into a dream.

When he first met Wenxi, she seemed to be crying. At the time, he didn't understand why Wenxi looked at him with those eyes. He just felt at ease when he was with Wenxi, so he accepted Wenxi as his master.

The days that followed were ordinary yet happy. I would snuggle on the sofa with Wenxi to watch TV, eat strawberry cake together, accompany her to school, go out to play, watch the snow together, fight together, and confront the Queen together.

If only time could stand still, Tiexi thought greedily, but time doesn't stand still for anyone, and the warm and beautiful days didn't last long.

Tie Xi couldn't understand why Mandora would target Wen Qian, since Wen Qian was just an ordinary human being.

Mandora even used him to threaten Wenxi, but Wenxi was not threatened by her.

Tie Xi knew that Wen Qian had a secret.

Wenxi never mentioned it, and he never asked. He didn't care about those things; he just wanted Wenxi to grow up safe and sound, healthy and strong. He was still thinking about accompanying Wenxi as she grew up and watching her realize her dreams.

But that opportunity is gone.

He used to not understand why Wenxi would lower her head sadly and have tears welling up in her eyes when asked about her dreams. Now he understands: it's because Wenxi already knew she had no future.

His heart ached, it really ached. Wenxi was just a child, and she was forced to endure this. Why Wenxi? He wanted to ask, but he didn't know who to ask.

Missing someone is the only thing Tiexi can do. When he woke up, his face was already wet with tears, his temples were throbbing, and Tiexi curled up into a ball, holding his head in his hands, trying to relieve the headache caused by the hangover.

Gradually, the pain finally subsided. Tie Xi breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body soaked with sweat. He gasped for breath, completely drenched as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Feeling hungry, Tie Xi went to the river to catch some fish, set up a wooden pole to roast them, and stared blankly at the sizzling, oily fish in front of him. He was thinking about Wen Qian again.

Day after day, he kept thinking of Wenxi. He would never forget anything about Wenxi, nor could he forget her. Fortunately, his longing was silent, otherwise it would have been deafening.

After a moment of blank staring, the fish was ready. Tie Xi picked up the fish, gently blew on it to cool it down, and took a bite. Instantly, the spicy and fragrant fish meat mixed with the juices exploded in his mouth. His fish-grilling skills had improved again.

If Wenxi were here right now, she would definitely smile and praise her, saying that Tiexi is really great.

Tie Xi: "If you like it, then that's good..."

Obsession can sometimes be a terrible thing.

However, it's not entirely scary.

After eating and drinking his fill, Tie Xi drifted off into a daze, a routine he followed daily. The grass was green, the river was clear, and apart from the overcast sky obscuring the sun, everything else was exactly what Wen Qian liked.

Many people visited Tiexi during this time. They were all worried about Tiexi's mental state. After all, Tiexi was Wenxi's doll, and Wenxi certainly didn't want anything to happen to Tiexi, so they would come to check on her every few days.

Seeing that Tiexi was just sitting there in a daze and did nothing else, they were relieved.

Ice Princess: "Go for a walk. Wenxi won't like you like this."

Upon hearing the Ice Princess's voice, Tie Xi finally reacted and turned to look at her.

Tie Xi: "Will Xixi hate me looking like this?"

Ice Princess: "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Tie Xi's pupils contracted, and he quickly stood up.

Tie Xi: "Then I won't do that anymore. I'll go out for a walk, maybe Qianqian will be happy and come back."

After saying that, Tie Xi turned and left, and Princess Bing sighed.

Ice Princess: "Wen Qian..."

Ice Princess: "Are you... alright...?"

She missed Wenqian terribly; Wenqian was her only friend. Now that this had happened, she was heartbroken and filled with guilt. She hadn't protected Wenqian; otherwise, Wenqian wouldn't have...

She closed her eyes in pain, and when she opened them again, she seemed to see a patch of blue in the sky. Upon seeing this, the Ice Princess's pupils trembled, and she stepped onto an ice lotus and flew into the sky.

What is that?

The Ice Princess reached out her hand, watching the blue light draw ever closer, wanting to grasp it, but in that instant, the blue light flashed and vanished. Stunned, the Ice Princess's heart pounded; it felt as if something had slipped away from there?

Is it her? Or am I mistaken?

Or perhaps she wasn't mistaken?

Looking to the side, she saw Tie Xi lying on the ground with his eyes closed not far away. Ice Princess flew down, helped Tie Xi up, and then patted his cheek.

Ice Princess: "Tie Xi, how are you?"

Suddenly, Tie Xi opened his eyes and woke up, then he smiled for the first time in a long time.

Tetsuhi: "I can finally keep Sisi here..."

What's the meaning?

Before the Ice Princess could even ask Tie Xi a question, the next second Tie Xi's head lolled to the side, his eyes closed, and he lost consciousness and fainted.

The thing that emerged from the sky has now transformed into a human and is hovering above the human world. The wind is blowing his long golden hair, and his tattered clothes are swaying in the wind. He turns his head and reveals a face that is exactly the same as Tie Xi's.

"Sisi, I've come to take you home."

—What is obsession? They always say I'm too obsessed. They want me to live a good life so Wenxi won't worry, but all I need is her worry. I love her, so much. I didn't know what love was before, but now I understand. It's just a pity I understood too late; everything is gone. No, that's not right. Maybe it's not too late. I still have a chance to win her back. No matter the cost, as long as Wenxi comes back, I don't care!

Sisi, don't be afraid, Tiexi is here to take you home.
