Xuan Yin suppressed his surging blood and qi, gently shook his head, and his resolute face showed no problem.
On the other hand, the situation on the other side seemed to be not good. As soon as Shan Jun landed, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Hu Chichi, who was hiding in the shadows, rushed out from the corner, helped the person, and instantly stopped in place.
The leaders had all run away, and seeing this, the others didn't care about anything else and also took off running.
The place, which was just moments ago noisy and fraught with danger, instantly returned to calm, with only a gentle breeze carrying the scent of blood.
Xuan Yin only lasted for a few dozen seconds before his already fair face turned even paler, and drops of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Su Yuxi panicked and anxiously asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong? Where are you hurt?"
Xuan Yin shook his head and said weakly, "Help me sit down."
But the place was a complete mess, and there was nowhere to sit down.
She simply helped the person sit down on the spot.
Seeing his weak and painful appearance, Su Yuxi couldn't help but shed tears again: "Azu, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be injured like this."
From childhood to adulthood, Ah Zu was an omnipotent being in her eyes, but now she realizes that even the most powerful people can get hurt.
"Hu Chichi is right. I am stupid, useless, and can't do anything right."
Xuan Yin coughed lightly twice, raised his hand, and gently brushed the tears that slid down her cheek with his cool fingertips: "No, don't belittle yourself. Our Xixi will become very powerful in the future. They just don't understand. Let's ignore her."
"Yes, there is." Su Yuxi had a clear understanding of herself. From the moment she came out until now, she had been blind and had met the wrong people. She was pregnant but couldn't protect them, and now her grandfather had been injured. If she had been a little bit more capable and smarter, she wouldn't have been tricked into coming here.
Looking at her stubborn little face, Xuan Yin couldn't help but smile and chuckled, "It's just that people's hearts are too treacherous. You can be easily deceived if you're not careful. Xi Xi has done very well all these years."
Su Yuxi sniffed twice, tears welling in her eyes, her voice thick with sobs and tinged with uncertainty: "Really?"
"Yes, really." Xuan Yin responded weakly. Because he knew that this girl was pure and kind and easily deceived, he had been by her side since she left home a year ago, secretly helping her avoid many dangers. Otherwise, this little girl would have been sold without even knowing what happened.
He raised the little girl with his own hands, and he has a responsibility to teach her how to protect herself in this complex and ever-changing society.
Su Yuxi received affirmation and burst into laughter through her tears.
Her legs got tired from squatting, so she bent her knees and knelt down. Looking back at the chaotic ruins, she couldn't help but feel curious when she thought of the culprit. She asked, "Grandma, why don't you like Sister Chichi?"
In the past, Hu Chichi was a very capable person in her eyes. Although she never thought that the two of them would have any relationship, if they were to become a couple, they would actually be quite well-matched.
Xuan Yin's eyes were dark and unfathomable. After a moment of silence, he did not answer Su Yuxi's question, but instead asked her, "Do you like Lu Yunzhou?"
Su Yuxi shook her head and answered decisively, "I don't like it."
She's only with him for money; as long as she gets the money, the occasional grievances she suffers are nothing.
Xuan Yin's gaze deepened as he asked again, "Then do you love Fu Huaijin?"
These words made Su Yuxi frown and fall into deep thought.
Fu Huaijin treated her very well, giving her whatever she wanted, and comforting her first when problems arose. He always put her first and was truly good to her.
But does she love him?
What does love feel like?
"I have no idea?"
"Azu, what is love?" No one had taught her, so she didn't quite understand what it meant to love someone.
Xuan Yin fell silent, because he wasn't quite sure either.
After a long while, he murmured, "Love may be about giving everything for the other person without expecting anything in return. When you have to separate, you feel heartbroken and suffocated. When you can't see them, you feel a deep longing that runs through your bones. At night, you can't help but indulge in endless reverie."
"Do you have those feelings for him?" Xuan Yin asked this question with a hint of caution, wanting to hear her say yes, but also wanting to hear her say no—a very conflicted feeling.
Su Yuxi shook her head after only three seconds of thought.
"No." In front of Fu Huaijin, she could be obedient, dependent, and willing to make equal exchanges, but she would not give everything.
Regarding her last departure, she was thinking that she could finally go home and then use curing his illness as a condition for the two of them to be even.
She had never experienced the suffocating feeling of heartache. Sometimes she would think of Fu Huaijin, but that longing could never reach the depths of her soul.
She didn't know what that feeling was like.
Even Lu Yunzhou, who was with her for three years, was completely erased from her mind after the breakup.
Xuan Yin sighed helplessly. In the end, it still wouldn't work?
He looked at Su Yuxi's swollen belly and asked in a deep voice, "And what about the child? What are your thoughts on the child?"
Su Yuxi placed her hand on her stomach. How was she supposed to answer such an abstract question: "What are your thoughts on them?"
All she had to do was give birth to them and raise them.
Xuan Yin gently tapped her forehead with his finger. After being outside for so long, she still hadn't learned anything: "What a blockhead."
Su Yuxi flinched slightly, blinked her bright eyes, and didn't understand why Azu had such an evaluation of her. Was she wrong?
"If...if you had to choose between your child and yourself, would you choose yourself or your child?"
Su Yuxi's face turned pale, and her lips trembled: "But didn't you just say that my child wasn't a freak?"
Xuan Yin knew she had misunderstood, and quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, the child will be safe and sound. I was just saying, hypothetically, if you had to choose between the two, who would you choose to live?"
This hypothetical situation made Su Yuxi hold her breath and ponder for more than ten seconds.
It's undeniable that sometimes the baby in her womb does influence her thoughts, making her devote all her attention to the child, but she's unwilling to risk her life for the baby.
There is no reason.
"I choose myself."
Xuan Yin suddenly felt extremely powerless and even laughed at her own stupidity. After several years, she was still the same.
"Auntie, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Su Yuxi looked timid, carefully recalling her answer. It didn't seem wrong.
"Then... I'll choose the baby in my belly?" Would that make Grandma happier?
Xuan Yin raised his eyes and stared at her intently, then shook his head.
But he still wouldn't give up.
"If you could only choose one of Azu, Fu Huaijin, and Bao Bao, who would you choose?"
