Ren Yaoqi was stunned by Xiao Jingxi's words. The Great Immortal Doctor looked at Xiao Jingxi, who was looking at her with a smile on his face and a warm, intoxicating look in his eyes.
Ren Yaoqi suddenly felt that Xiao Jingxi seemed to understand all her worries and concerns at the moment, but he told her in a light-hearted way that she could control other people's ambitions in her own hands, as if all the things that had kept her awake at night since her rebirth were really nothing big.
Ren Yaoqi turned slightly away without leaving any trace, and blinked hard to repel the sudden heat in her eyes that caught her off guard.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you!"
Xiao Jingxi recalled her eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings just now, and an unprecedented impulse surged in his heart. He didn't know what this impulse was. He moved his fingers and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something empty in his heart. It was a very subtle feeling, neither uncomfortable nor comfortable, but it felt like something was missing.
Xiao Jingxi lived a very painful life when he was young. Every time the poison in his body took effect, it was torment. At first, he would cry and make a fuss, but later, when enduring the pain every day became a habit for him, he learned to smile, so that when he grew up, almost nothing could shake him.
Now it seems that is not entirely true.
"It's getting late, I have to leave." Ren Yaoqi said to Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin nodded: "If I have time, I will go to Baihe Town to see you."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded, then lowered her head and touched Silly Girl's head. Silly Girl stretched out her little tongue and licked her palm: "Awoo——"
Finally, he smiled at Xiao Jingxi, and Ren Yaoqi turned around and held Apple's hand to get on the carriage.
After Ren Yaoqi got in the car, he lifted the curtain and waved to Xiao Jinglin. Xiao Jinglin waved back, ignoring Silly Girl's weak protest.
The Lin family's carriage started moving slowly and soon disappeared from the sight of the Xiao family brothers and sisters.
Xiao Jingxi turned to look at Xiao Jinglin and asked with a smile, "Would you like to take my carriage back?"
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi's car. Then, expressionlessly, he said, "I just walked out of town, and my shoes are covered in dust. Will you throw me out of the car?"
Xiao Jingxi's smile remained unchanged: "It's okay, I asked someone to prepare shoes for you when I went out, you can get in the car and change."
Xiao Jinglin frowned, then turned around without any reluctance: "Forget it, just sit by yourself. I can tolerate it, but Silly Girl can't."
Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Silly Girl.
Silly girl moved her ears, lowered her eyebrows and licked her paws.
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Xiao Jinglin put his hand to his lips and whistled. Then, along a hidden path, the sound of horse hooves echoed. A moment later, two horses, one black and one red, trotted out.
Xiao Jinglin picked up Silly Girl with one hand and jumped onto the black horse very neatly and quickly. Hongying hurriedly saluted Xiao Jingxi and then followed him onto another horse.
"Didn't you specially send me out of the city to meet my friends? Now I'm done, send me back. Hurry up and catch up!" Xiao Jinglin turned his horse's head and then turned back to say to Xiao Jingxi condescendingly.
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
When getting on the carriage, Xiao Jingxi shifted his gaze and squinted slightly to glance at a small hill in the distance.
Tong He noticed it and immediately said, "Sir, I will send someone to investigate."
