Ziying closed her eyes and whispered, "Mmm."
But Jiu Zhongsheng still heard it, and his eyes lit up with uncontrollable elation. He even laughed like a silly boy, "Yingying, do you know how long I've been waiting for this answer?"
Ziying looked at Jiu Zhongsheng with a complicated expression in her eyes, "Actually, you don't need to treat me like this, I'm not worth it."
Jiu Zhongsheng replied, "Whether it's worth it or not is up to me, not you."
Ziying fell silent.
Jiu Zhongsheng said, "Yingying, haven't you ever thought about staying in this world? You said it yourself, crossing the sea eye is a gamble, and if you lose, you will die. I don't want that to happen, and neither does Maomao. Your parents in the other world certainly don't want that either."
Ziying remained silent, her eyes closed, her mind filled with struggle. She had considered giving up, but she had already blocked all her escape routes, so she could only move forward!
Jiu Zhongsheng was still worried, and he said again, "Then, you don't plan to tell Maomao these things? She is more powerful than you think."
Jiu Zhongsheng knew that Ziying still had unresolved issues, but she wouldn't tell him, which frustrated him greatly.
Ziying finally reacted, "If I could, I would stop the cat. This matter is very dangerous, far more so than what you see on the surface."
Jiu Zhongsheng frowned slightly.
Ziying chuckled, but the smile was tinged with bitterness. "I know you mean well, but I also want what's best for you. Ideally, you should stay away from me."
Jiu Zhongsheng was anxious. He had just learned of Ziying's feelings, and naturally he couldn't stay away from her now. "Why? Yingying, what else do you want to do? I can help you. You don't have to be alone anymore. I'll stay with you, isn't that good?"
Ziying looked at Jiu Zhongsheng and said, "Don't ask anymore. There's no point in asking any more questions."
Her eyes looked a little tired.
Jiu Zhongsheng's heart suddenly sank, and he remained silent for a long time.
Coming back to his senses from the surprise, he suddenly realized something: ever since Ziying came into this world, she had always wanted to go back. For more than 20 years, she had been all alone in this world, so how could she possibly have done that all by herself?
The Song family has poured countless resources into finding the sea eye, and even now they only have information that is almost identical to Ziying's.
So, who else is behind Ziying?
After a long while, Jiu Zhongsheng finished the remaining water in his glass and calmed down completely. He looked at Ziying and said seriously, "There are some things you don't want to talk about, and I can choose not to ask. But, promise me two things, okay?"
Ziying looked at him and said, "Go ahead."
Jiu Zhongsheng said, "The first thing is, don't leave without saying goodbye again, don't disappear again, okay?"
Ziying nodded slowly.
Jiu Zhongsheng added, "The second thing is, if you ever go looking for the sea eye again, you must tell me, okay?"
This time, Ziying hesitated and did not answer immediately.
Jiu Zhongsheng said, "I'm just telling you. I won't stop you. Can't you just let me know?"
Ziying sighed and finally nodded.
Jiu Zhongsheng then smiled. He knew that many things could not be resolved all at once, and that getting Ziying to give up on finding the sea eye would have to be done slowly.
Jiu Zhongsheng checked the time; it was almost midnight. He decided to sit for a while longer and told Ziying about what happened after they broke up that year.
When the hands reached the twelve o'clock position, Jiu Zhongsheng looked at Ziying and smiled, "That's great, a year that has passed peacefully. This year, we will definitely be very good."
Ziying smiled and said, "I hope so."
Jiu Zhongsheng got up to say goodbye, "You should go to sleep early, I'm going back now."
After seeing Jiu Zhongsheng off, Ziying stood in front of the French windows, watching the fireworks rise into the sky in the distance, which were extremely dazzling.
She also wanted to get her life back on track, either go home or stay in this world peacefully, but... there's a saying in this world: "not in control of one's own destiny."
She had been mentally unstable for five years, which were probably the most peaceful five years of her life. But now she has regained her senses, and what is coming will come.
...
We had agreed to spend New Year's Eve together, but in the end, only the cat remained sober enough to cross the midnight mark and welcome the new year.
The cat immediately messaged Mu Jin: "Mu Jin, do you have any New Year's wishes?"
Mu Jin quickly replied: [No]
Cat: [I have it!]
She didn't say what it was, just waiting for Mu Jin to ask.
Sure enough, Mu Jin asked, "What is it?"
Cat: [Hehe, I have two wishes. First, to become the world's richest person. Second, to sleep with Ah Jin!]
If you look closely, this is actually a wish, because becoming the world's richest person is all for the purpose of supporting Ah Jin, so that she can do whatever she wants.
Upon seeing such an arrogant declaration, Mu Jin's lips slowly curled into a smile. He replied with a hint of pleasure: "May all your wishes come true."
Cat: [Mmm!]
...
The next morning.
After getting up, the cat stretched her arms and legs on the wooden stakes in the backyard. When she returned to the villa, Kunanxun had also gotten up.
She looked at the cat, a little confused, "Sister, why did I sleep until this morning? Did I cross the New Year in my sleep?"
The cat said, "Because you're drunk."
Jiu Nanxun ran her fingers through her hair, a little annoyed. "Sister, now I know why you didn't drink much last night. You're so mean."
After having breakfast, the cat changed her clothes and sat in the living room waiting for someone.
