"We are friends, and always will be."
When Lu Chi heard her say that, he suddenly laughed.
His laughter was tinged with sarcasm and helplessness.
What is he still hoping for? Ji Huaishen is the best match for her. Doesn't he already know that?
To break the awkward atmosphere, Lu Chi smiled and said, "Yes, good friend."
"So I have something to tell you."
Mu Xiaocheng raised an eyebrow and turned to look at him: "Is it about Tang Bai?"
"She's your...sister?"
Lu Chi was surprised that Mu Xiaocheng had guessed it so quickly and asked, "How did you know?"
Mu Xiaocheng said without any modesty, "You don't even know what my husband does for a living."
"Ha, look how smug you are."
He lowered his eyes and continued, "From now on, I'll trouble Teacher Mu to take good care of her."
"I will take care of her even without you telling me."
Mu Xiaocheng answered readily.
Lu Chi smiled, still as handsome and charming as ever, but the ease and carefree spirit of youth was long gone from his eyes.
He was about to speak when he saw Ji Huaishen walking towards them.
Ha, what a petty man.
Mu Xiaocheng turned to look at Lu Chi, a sweet smile on her face: "Then I'll go first, take care of yourself."
Lu Chi nodded. He reached out, wanting to pat her head, but found that he no longer had the courage.
He knew that at this moment, he had finally given up.
It's so painful, an indescribable heartache.
Watching her jog towards the man, Lu Chi suddenly smiled.
Seeing the happy smile on her face made him content.
However, he still wanted to know the answer to the question he hadn't asked aloud.
He wanted to give his youth an explanation, an answer.
Mu Xiaocheng, if I had been more composed, gentler, and more outstanding, would you have fallen in love with me unconditionally?
As the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, Lu Chi looked towards the distant horizon.
This answer is no longer important.
However, he thought that Lu Chi might not fall in love with anyone else for a very long time.
Because someone once lived in this heart, leaving a deep and indelible mark.

Mu Xiaocheng held Ji Huaishen's hand, but Ji Huaishen didn't seem very happy.
He parted his thin lips slightly and asked casually, "What did you talk about?"
She remained as indifferent and aloof as ever.
Mu Xiaocheng glanced at him, puffed out her cheeks, and deliberately kept him in suspense, saying, "We've talked a lot, which one do you want to hear about?"
Ji Huaishen suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing: "Looking for a fight?"
Hearing him say that, Mu Xiaocheng pouted and pretended to be pitiful, saying, "Wow, are you going to abuse me?"
Ji Huaishen coughed lightly and led her forward.
"What exactly did they say?"
Mu Xiaocheng didn't answer his question directly. After a moment, she said with some grievance, "Mr. Ji, now I only have you and the child. You can't bully me or be mean to me."
Hearing her say that, Ji Huaishen's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
His heart skipped a beat, and a teasing smile appeared in his eyes: "When have I ever bullied you or been mean to you?"
Mu Xiaocheng suddenly blushed and muttered under her breath, dissatisfied, "Tonight."
Although it was very soft, Ji Huaishen still heard it.
The smile on his lips gradually widened.
Then, he suddenly picked her up and carried her upstairs to the guest room.
You can bully her, even during the day.
