Xiao Jingxi held her hand like this, looking at him, and whispered a sentence that Ren Yaoqi couldn't understand. Ren Yaoqi stood there quietly, and she didn't take her hand away from Xiao Jingxi, even though the strength in Xiao Jingxi's hand was not strong now, and she could get rid of it as long as she struggled.
Although Ren Yaoqi didn't understand what Xiao Jingxi said, she felt that she vaguely understood what Xiao Jingxi was saying.
Ren Yaoqi didn't know how long he had been listening to Xiao Jingxi reciting there, one hour or two hours. Although it was not dark here, it seemed like two different worlds from the outside world, a world with only Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi.
After Xiao Jingxi stopped, it took Ren Yaoqi a long time to come back to his senses. Meeting Xiao Jingxi's gentle and smiling gaze, Ren Yaoqi couldn't say a word, but his eyes felt sore.
Xiao Jingxi stood in front of Ren Yaoqi and carefully held her in his arms.
Ren Yaoqi rested her forehead on Xiao Jingxi's chest, listening to the "thump thump" sound coming from his chest. She only recalled later that there seemed to be something wrong with Xiao Jingxi's heartbeat at that time, although the Second Young Master Xiao did not look nervous or shy at all.
The two of them remembered to go downstairs when Ren Yaoqi felt hungry. Although she had eaten a lot of snacks in Xiao Jinglin's carriage on the way here, she still felt hungry.
She left Xiao Jingxi's arms, lowered her head and whispered, "Are we going down?"
This time, Xiao Jingxi didn't hold Ren Yaoqi back. A happy smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Okay."
When the two of them retreated from the top of the ninth floor of the tower, Ren Yaoqi wanted to ask Xiao Jingxi what place this was, what was written on the wall, and who left it there, but Ren Yaoqi ultimately did not ask.
Xiao Jingxi locked the door again, looked at Ren Yaoqi, and handed her the key. Ren Yaoqi took it blankly, and waited for Xiao Jingxi to explain the purpose of giving her the key, but Xiao Jingxi said nothing and gestured for Ren Yaoqi to go downstairs with her.
Neither of them spoke when they came down from the Echo Tower. It seemed that there was no need to say anything. Some things had been made clear today, and no one could play dumb anymore.
After leaving the Echo Tower, Ren Yaoqi asked, "Where is Jinglin?" She looked at the sky. She and Xiao Jingxi had been in the tower for at least an hour, but Xiao Jinglin had never shown up.
Xiao Jingxi paused, then said: "Don't blame her, the Xiao family rules, she can't go up."
Ren Yaoqi wanted to ask, why Xiao Jinglin couldn't go up, but she could?
But the words on the tip of his tongue became: "You just said 'It's just an empty building. The reason they don't let people in is because they're afraid the tower is too high and it would be dangerous to go up.' Where is it?"
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi glared at Xiao Jingxi and went to find Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jingxi followed Ren Yaoqi, feeling helpless but secretly happy.
