Chi Sui let go of Long Xi's hand and gently pushed his lower back: "Long Long, Amara...I have something to tell you."
Long Xi pursed her lips.
Amara's body trembled, and under Chi Sui's gaze, she finally raised her head: "Xiao Xi, I... let's talk."
"good."
Long Xi nodded.
His expression was calm and his voice was soft, but his hands were subconsciously curled up under his wide sleeves.
The two entered the tree house.
Chi Sui did not go in.
Ti Ti came over riding an animal that looked a lot like an ostrich: "Hey! Chi Sui, let's go! Let's go bird racing!"
Chi Sui's eyes twitched: "No."
Seeing that Titi was obviously a little disappointed, she sighed and said, "Go play with the elves. I have something to do now."
"What are you going to do? I'm with you."
Titi touched the ostrich's head and asked curiously.
Chi Sui pointed to the tree house and said, "I'm going to wait for Longlong here."
Titi: ………
He rode away on his ostrich, his face filled with resentment, and vowed that this time among the elves, he would definitely find a good female elf to fall in love with! …It didn't matter if it wasn't an elf, just a girl would be fine!
When Chi Sui saw Ti Ti leave, he sat down on a stone pillar under the tree house and wrote the contract and plan for the sale of tree pulp on the stone table.
inside the house.
Long Xi listened as long as Amara spoke.
He showed no expression, his face remained calm, as if what he was listening to was not about himself.
Amara paused.
She looked at Long Xi, who was sitting on the sofa, looking through the window at Chi Sui sitting on the stone table under the tree, and an inexplicable feeling of detachment surged in her heart.
She thought Long Xi would collapse, would ask her why, or would coldly draw a line between them and her, but...
Looking at Long Xi, who had been in this position since entering the room, Amara sat weakly beside him.
Feeling the sofa next to him sink, Long Xi did not move his eyes away.
He just asked calmly, "Have you finished what you wanted to say?"
Amara followed his gaze and looked at Chi Sui, who was writing something on the stone table outside the window. "I... I'm sorry, Xiaoxi."
Long Xi blinked slowly: "Yeah."
A long silence followed.
As time passed, Amara felt panic. She felt that the child who had always been cold to others but restrained all his cruelty to herself since childhood seemed to be leaving her completely.
"Xiao Xi...I'm sorry."
Amara opened her mouth, as if trying to salvage something.
"It doesn't matter."
Long Xi's posture and expression remained unchanged, and his tone was as gentle as ever: "You have helped me a lot over the years."
Amara pursed her lips.
Just as Chi Sui questioned her, after reflecting on it, she finally realized that her kindness to Long Xi really didn't mean much.
But Long Xi said this, which made her feel deeply regretful: "Xiao Xi...what can I do for you?"
Amara looked at Long Xi's profile and asked cautiously.
"You don't have to do anything."
Long Xi finally shifted his gaze away from Chi Sui and looked at Amara for the first time since entering the house.
"I'm leaving."
He stood up.
Amara subconsciously stood in front of him.
She smiled uneasily: "You haven't been home for a long time, stay and have a meal."
"I'll make you your favorite egg fried rice..."
"No need, auntie."
Long Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the woman whom he once regarded as a relative.
His tone was as gentle as ever, and his eyes were pure, without hatred, without awkwardness, without anything at all.
"Chi Sui is still waiting for me."
He just took a step when Amara grabbed his arm.
He lowered his eyelashes slightly: "Is there anything else you need?"
Amara subconsciously let go of her hand. She smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Xi really likes Chi Sui, right?"
Long Xi's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't say anything.
Amara seemed to have found some common topic, and her intuition told her that she needed to make a final struggle to keep the child.
"This kid is pretty good."
She smiled lovingly, "If you two ever achieve a happy marriage... Auntie will definitely give you a generous gift... Why don't you stay for dinner today..."
Long Xi's expression didn't change. He interrupted Amara and said, "Thank you for your kind words."
After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation, leaving Amara standing alone in the room.
She turned stiffly and saw a tall and handsome young man in black gently walking up behind the girl lying on the table.
I don't know what the two of them said.
But the child she had watched grow up actually showed a somewhat aggrieved expression to the girl, and then Chi Sui hurriedly stood up and patted Long Xi on the back.
At the end of Amara's vision, Long Xi took Chi Sui's hand, and the two discussed something and left.
thump.
Amara slumped down on the sofa.
After a long time, she smiled bitterly. She knew that the little, helpless boy had grown up.
Such an obviously emotional expression had never been shown before, even in front of her.
"That's fine...that's fine too..."
"Xiao Xi... I hope your... your sincerity will not be let down..."
Amara slowly closed her eyes.
Chi Sui and Long Xi were strolling in the forest, and she frequently turned her head to look at the man beside her.
This guy didn't talk to Amara for long.
Chi Sui thought he would have to wait for a long time, but unexpectedly, Long Xi came out after a while.
