"Yeah, Xiaoxiao, isn't this space a bit too big?"
Tian Tian realized something was wrong.
Li Xiao smiled meaningfully.
"Are you...?" Tian Tian asked with some suspicion.
"Is it something?"
"...Is there anything else you haven't said?" Tian Tian always felt that Li Xiao gave off a somewhat profound vibe.
"Didn't I say? One room."
"A house? What house? A villa? But even a villa can't hold all of those things, can it?" Tian Tian seemed to realize something was wrong, thinking about everything that had happened before.
“Hey, yeah. Wait a minute. Xiaoxiao, what kind of room can hold so much stuff?” Shao Jie chimed in.
They are all quick-witted; it was Li Xiao who was ambiguous and didn't explain things clearly before.
Now that I've realized it, nothing feels right.
Yu Yanbin looked at Cheng Shaolin, but Cheng Shaolin kept his eyes straight ahead, pretending not to see him and completely unaware.
Cheng Shaolin also knew that Li Xiao had a secret, but she hadn't told anyone.
Including him.
Although I felt a little sad when I first found out, I had a different thought after thinking about it again.
We've been through so much since the beginning, and we didn't become acquainted in just a day or two.
The reason they don't speak up is probably because they haven't opened their hearts yet.
As for now, everyone is already quite familiar with each other, so no one will mind saying anything more.
Cheng Shaolin still had questions in his mind, but he wouldn't voice them now; he'd talk about them later.
"Xiaoxiao? You might as well just tell me everything at once." Yu Yanbin stopped looking at Cheng Shaolin; he knew he wouldn't tell this man.
Li Xiao was quite relaxed and had caught her breath, feeling much more at ease.
"Ask whatever you want to know."
Li Xiao leaned back on the sofa, and Cheng Shaolin put his arm around the back of the sofa behind Li Xiao, thus encircling Li Xiao in his arms.
Taking the opportunity, Li Xiao tilted her head towards Cheng Shaolin, found a more comfortable position, and squinted her eyes with satisfaction.
Cheng Shaolin's heart softened, and he noticed that Li Xiao was becoming more dependent on him. This was a good thing, a positive sign. His heart felt like it was soaking in warm water, with gentle ripples softly lapping against it, making his heart feel sweet and his mouth taste like honey.
A smile played on her lips as her gaze fell on the top of Li Xiao's head, her heart light and carefree.
Yu Yanbin stopped looking at this man. That damned jerk, always showing off his love.
Pooh.
Yu Yanbin turned his gaze to Li Xiao, waiting for her answer.
"Say whatever you want."
Li Xiao wrinkled her nose, then chuckled softly before slowly saying, "Space?" She paused for two seconds after speaking, then nodded and said, "Yes, okay."
As she spoke, she laughed again, as if she had found some relief, and her smile deepened.
"I can say it, but let me make this clear from the outset. I've been emphasizing the consequences of leaking or letting things slip, and I think you're all well aware of them."
Li Xiao looked at everyone present once more, her expression turning serious, and said with a firm gaze, "But I'll say it again. Keep whatever you hear to yourself. It's not that I want to say it, it's just that I can't. If you want to know, then keep your mouth shut."
Li Xiao was always aloof, quiet, and never got into any conflicts with anyone, except for those who deliberately caused trouble.
This was the first time I'd seen Li Xiao speak so seriously, almost in a warning tone.
Everyone felt a sudden jolt of fear and were somewhat at a loss.
Is it that serious? Is it true, or is it something we shouldn't have known?
The thought swirled in my mind a few times, but only for a fleeting moment.
"Is it serious?" Shao Jie asked cautiously.
Li Xiao nodded without changing his expression.
Shao Jie hesitated, his expression shifting, unsure whether to continue listening.
Cheng Shaolin was also taken aback by Li Xiao's words. There were many things he didn't know.
It seems that Li Xiao treated everyone equally, saying that he hadn't been told anything, including him.
It seems the matter is quite serious; even he is unaware of it.
Cheng Shaolin's expression was solemn, and his gaze toward Li Xiao was filled with worry and caution.
"Since it's already been brought up, let's just say it. Since Xiaoxiao has already spoken, it's good to say the unpleasant things upfront so everyone knows what's going on."
Hearing Cheng Shaolin say that, I realized it made sense.
"Since you've already explained it, then say it. Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I'll be on your side." Yu Yanbin leaned back on the sofa, a smile on his face, but his eyes were icy cold.
"Xiaoxiao, you've seen how far we've come. You know what kind of people we are. There are no problems now, but who knows what the future holds? Some things change with time. But I guarantee you, anyone who betrays us will face only one fate: death."
Although Meng Yang is the oldest member and not the team leader, his words still carry considerable weight.
The remaining people nearby were also eager to express something, but Li Xiao raised her hand to interrupt them.
"I'm not speculating or trying to cause any conflict; I just want to highlight the key point."
"Because if things were to come to light, it wouldn't just be one person's problem anymore; you would all be in trouble. I just wanted to remind you of that."
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their hearts pounding, unsure of which way to guess.
Seeing everyone's suspicious looks, Li Xiao smiled, "Alright, you don't need to guess anymore." She placed her right hand on her leg and tapped it gently, as if striking a rhythm, and a soft sound followed the rhythm.
"My space may be different from others'."
Everyone: "…………!!"
Li Xiao slightly curled the corners of her mouth. "I don't know about others. I don't know if anyone is like me."
"There's just one thing: mine is quite special."
Everyone looked on with curiosity, mixed with a bit of shock and nervousness.
“My space is huge, bigger than anyone else’s. It’s special,” Li Xiao said with a smile, glancing at everyone. “Very special. At least, that’s what everyone thinks.”
"What's so special about it?" Shao Jie asked anxiously, but before he could finish speaking, Xiao Peng slapped him down.
*Snap*
After being hit on the back of the head, Shao Jie instantly understood what was happening. Seeing the condemning looks from Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin, Shao Jie pretended to zip up his mouth.
This action did not disturb Li Xiao, who calmly said, "Other people's spaces are just for storing inanimate objects, like things they use, wear, and eat, and there are time limits for those things."
Everyone nodded; this was a fact that everyone knew.
“But my space is different.”
"My space has no time limit."
⊙ω⊙!!!
Everyone was surprised.
"What?!"
Li Xiao nodded, "Really, there's no time limit. That's the first point."
…………！ ！
