While Walter was watching the drama unfold, Zhou Xiao, the person directly involved, was completely bewildered by March 7's outburst. He looked at March 7 expressionlessly and then slowly said:
Do you know what you're saying?
"I know! So what! You want to hit me? Yeah, right! You Star Core Hunters aren't exactly good people anyway, go ahead and hit me! Let's see if I can withstand one of your attacks!"
March 7th said a lot. She's very irrational right now; she even wants to withstand Zhou Xiao's attacks.
"Tsk, what an angry little girl."
Unable to bear it any longer, Kafka slowly walked over. Her languid eyes first glanced at March 7th, then looked at Zhou Xiao and said:
"Ah Xiao, don't be afraid. We Star Core Hunters also help you find a partner. So what if you lost the affections of a mere kid? It's no big deal..."
"If that doesn't work... I'll assign the Silver Wolf to you."
"?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Kafka with a puzzled expression, as if asking: What the hell are you up to?
Seeing Zhou Xiao looking at her like that, Kafka glanced at March 7th, then slightly covered her lips with her left hand, feigning surprise as she continued:
"What? You don't like Silver Wolf? Well... I'm not out of the question... After all, our Ah Xiao is handsome, strong, and a great cook... What woman wouldn't like him?"
Zhou Xiao: "..."
silence.
There's a kind of speechlessness called Zhou Xiao's speechlessness.
Even though he knew Kafka wanted to stand up for him, all he could think was: Please, stand up for him, but stop with the awkwardness...
Zhou Xiao is so embarrassed now that you could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the soles of his feet.
"Bad woman!" March 7th's arrogance was immediately suppressed in front of Kaffa, and he could only stare at Kaffa's face and say "bad woman."
"Let's go, Ah Xiao... we're in a hurry." Kafka gave March 7 a provocative look, then affectionately linked her arm with Zhou Xiao's and pulled him away into the distance.
"Zhou Xiao..."
Seeing Zhou Xiao walking further and further away with Kafka, March 7th was filled with anger, sadness, and resentment. She called out to Zhou Xiao:
"Go away! Don't let me see you again!"
"Don't worry... our Ah Xiao can live well without seeing you." Kafka glanced back at March 7, waved to the train crew, and then jumped down from the center of the Qiong Guan Formation.
"Xing... take good care of March, I'm entrusting her to you." Zhou Xiao glanced meaningfully at March 7, then gave Xing another instruction before following Kafka's figure, leaping down from the center of the formation and disappearing from everyone's sight.
...
Gone...
They've all left.
After Zhou Xiao left completely, March 7th deflated like a punctured balloon and slipped, sitting on the ground. She looked in the direction Zhou Xiao had left, her emotions indescribably complex.
She felt that Zhou Xiao had left her world. The two of them were more like two shooting stars that passed each other, only briefly meeting... which gave her the mistaken feeling that Zhou Xiao was from the same world as her.
“Zhou Xiao… that bad guy, he just left with that bad woman.” Tears welled up in March 7’s eyes. She thought of how intimately Kafka had been holding Zhou Xiao’s arm, and a feeling of suffocation welled up in her heart.
What... is this?
People have traveled thousands of miles to reach the Fairy Ship...
She spent sleepless nights looking at old photos and crying... What does all this matter?
If longing had a sound, she would probably be deafened by now...
How much she missed Zhou Xiao...
But she never expected her meeting with Zhou Xiao to end like this...
"March..."
Just as she was grieving, a delicate hand gently patted her shoulder. The owner of that hand... was Xing.
Xing looked at March 7 with a serious expression and slowly said, "Being stubborn... can push away the person you like."
Judging from Zhou Xiao's reaction just now, Xingmei could tell that her master seemed to be drifting further and further away from March 7th...
Having witnessed so much of the gossip surrounding March 7th and her master, even she found what she just witnessed unbearable...
"Star... Waaah."
Xingmei's insightful words caused March 7th's tears to flow like a burst dam. She buried her head in Xingmei's arms, muttering something to herself:
"I don't even know what I was saying... I just wanted him to pay more attention to me... Did I go too far with my stubbornness just now?"
"I don't know what to do... I didn't mean to say anything so hurtful, but... I'm just stubborn..."
March 7th spoke with a sob in her voice, so much so that the rest of her words were barely audible.
The more stubbornly she told Zhou Xiao to leave, the more she secretly wanted him to stay... What she wanted to say to Zhou Xiao... what she should have said to Zhou Xiao was definitely not what she had just said.
What she wanted to tell Zhou Xiao was her longing, her plea... her inability to accept life without him, and her stubborn insistence that even if Zhou Xiao insisted on leaving with the Star Core Hunters, she would still ask him to take her with him...
But she...
What were you even talking about...?
"I know... I know everything." Xingmei comforted March 7, whose emotions were about to overflow. At this moment, Xingmei's image was quite different from her previous sharp tongue.
“We can all see your dedication and worry for my master, but he doesn't see you... Instead of pushing him away, you should give him a hug... My master may be easily provoked, but that doesn't mean he'll be easily bullied…”
Xingmei said that the Kunjiang ritual on March 7th seemed a bit excessive.
Zhou Xiao didn't stay, and his relationship with Zhou Xiao became quite strained...
"Xing... what should I do?" March 7th cried even harder after hearing what Xingmei had just said.
It seems that Xingmei's gentle comfort also contained... a hint of venom, like rubbing salt into a wound.
“Live a good life…” Xingmei paused for a moment, then continued, “How long have you known my master? Don’t let my master completely disrupt your life rhythm.”
"It will be alright, it will get better."
...
Seeing that Xingmei had calmed March 7 down, Walter pushed up his glasses and said that Xingmei had done a good job.
If he were to comfort March 7th... he could only silently hand her a piece of paper and watch her cry...
To be fair, March 7th's statement was indeed a bit extreme... but there's nothing we can do now that it's happened, so we have to consider what to do next.
