Jiu Wu's affection was straightforward and passionate. Unlike her, who over-analyzed and weighed things repeatedly, only to hurt him.
Xia Xiang wasn't entirely lying when she said she liked mature, stable, introverted, and aloof people, but she just happened to fall for this cute and handsome guy in front of her.
But what good is it if she likes someone? Not all liking someone leads to being together, and not all relationships will have a happy ending.
"Jiu Wu, did you forget that I'm only twelve years old just because you see me like this?" Xia Xiang said helplessly. "We can talk about anything except dating."
Jiu Wu stared wide-eyed in disbelief and said, "You think I'm too old?! I'm only seventeen!"
Xia Xiang: He seems to be focusing on the wrong thing...
"I just hope that you, being older, can be more rational and approach relationship issues correctly," Xia Xiang said.
"There's nothing wrong with admitting that I like you, but that won't solve the practical problems. You're one of the most important members of my family, and I don't want to hurt you."
Jiu Wu: "You are hurting me right now. You are taking advantage of my feelings for you and are about to trample on my sincerity!"
Xia Xiang calmly said, "Then wait a little longer. If I still like you when I'm eighteen, I'll give you a chance."
"Six years, six years and six years again, poor me!" Jiu Wu took the opportunity to hug Xia Xiang and said coquettishly.
"Get out of my way," Xia Xiang pushed him away directly. "Untie me."
"Aren't you afraid I'll fall for someone else?" Jiu Wu couldn't go too far, so he reached out to untie the "Thousand Mile Thread of Love" for her while tentatively asking.
"I believe you," Xia Xiang replied firmly.
Before Jiu Wu could even feel happy, Xia Xiang spoke up again, "Because I can't be sure if I'll always like you."
"You have no heart!" Jiu Wu said angrily, and then brought up the "A Thousand Miles Connected by a Single Thread" again.
Xia Xiang said impatiently, "Stop fooling around!"
How could Jiu Wu possibly listen? He just kept holding her and muttering to himself, refusing to let go.
"Jiu Wu, obey my command!" Xia Xiang didn't want to argue with him; the more she argued, the more complicated things became. She directly pulled out the supreme gold medal, which gleamed with golden light and almost blinded Jiu Wu.
"...Yes." When Jiu Wu saw the Supreme Gold Medal in her hand, he suddenly felt that he might really be her childhood sweetheart. After all, when he was a child, he couldn't even touch it, but that old man actually gave it to Xia Xiang directly!
Xia Xiang ordered, "Return to the Iron Dimension immediately. Do not leave without an imperial edict."
Jiu Wu could only bow his head and obey orders. He might not give face to the old man, but he still had to give face to the Supreme Gold Medal.
Seeing that he obeyed, Xia Xiang breathed a small sigh of relief.
The next second, he almost couldn't catch his breath!
Jiu Wu didn't untie the "thousand-mile thread" knot; instead, he dragged her away as well.
"Hey! Jiuwu! Untie it!" Xia Xiang pulled back the red ribbon, but Jiuwu was really angry now and ignored her, striding forward.
——
As the sun set, the two calmly gazed at the scenery below the mountain.
"Let's go back," Xia Xiang said, pointing to the portal to the space-time next to them.
Seeing that Jiu Wu was still angry, she coaxed him a little, hugged him, and told him to go back quickly.
Jiu Wu said worriedly, "If I don't like other people, you're not allowed to like other people either."
"I have no heart, I can't like anyone," Xia Xiang said sarcastically.
"..." Jiu Wu cautioned, "That guy with the slicked-back hair looked at you suspiciously; he's definitely not a good person. Don't trust him."
"Hmm," Xia Xiang nodded. A slicked-back hairstyle? Cao Cao?
Jiu Wu: "Your cheap younger brother is also a liar. Although he is your older brother's clone, he has gloomy eyes and doesn't look like a good person."
"Mm," Xia Xiang nodded patiently.
"And..." Jiu Wu wanted to say something more, but Xia Xiang gave him a "golden warning".
Jiu Wu quickly flicked Xia Xiang on the forehead, then turned and hid inside the portal.
