Quiet.
Shirin's office was unusually quiet.
A wisp of white smoke drifted through the room, not pungent at all, but rather carrying a faint, refreshing fragrance reminiscent of a forest in the early morning.
The two people were sitting opposite each other, but there was no sound of them speaking in the room.
Xilin looked slightly different from usual. She took off her glasses, put her long hair up, and changed into a moon-white robe, looking mature and elegant.
With gentle, silent movements, she skillfully prepared the Elf Secret Tea in her hands.
He seemed completely focused, putting all his energy into the modulation, oblivious to everything around him.
Jiang Wan lowered her head, looking at her reflection in the amber tea in her cup, as if there were some treasure within it.
This scene continued from the moment you entered.
To Jiang Wan's surprise, Xilin did not delay opening the door as she had done before.
Instead, it was as if he had been preparing to see her all along; the door opened automatically before he even knocked, inviting her in.
An automatically extending carpet led Jiang Wan slowly through the grand corridor that symbolized the legendary path of Xilin, guiding her to sit down at Xilin's table.
When their eyes met, Xilin showed neither fear nor nervousness, but nodded gently, gesturing for Jiang Wan to sit down.
Unlike her usual playful demeanor in front of the Ning magazine, Jiang Wanping appeared calm and serious.
The two maintained a delicate balance by not interfering with each other.
However, despite the stalemate, Jiang Wan did not feel embarrassed.
There was no oppressive atmosphere in the space, nor was there any tense atmosphere in the air. The peaceful atmosphere even reminded one of a noble lady having a leisurely afternoon tea.
The restless emotions in Jiang Wan's heart gradually calmed down under the faint fragrance wafting in the room.
bite.
Finally, the teapot, heated by magic, emitted a crisp sound.
Just as Xilin raised her hand and lifted the teapot, Jiang Wan couldn't help but speak:
"I……"
"I……"
At the same time, Shirin also spoke, then both of them stopped and spoke again:
"...Then you go first."
"You go first."
They exchanged a glance, and the tense atmosphere between them eased again. Xilin chuckled and stopped trying to politely defer to her.
"Then I'll go first."
He picked up the transparent teapot, glanced at the petals swirling in the water inside, nodded in satisfaction, and poured the tea into the two cups in front of him.
“I’m not really surprised that you came alone today. I… had prepared for this a long time ago.”
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and remained silent, raising her head to wait for Xilin to continue.
"I never imagined that one day we would have this kind of relationship."
Become his lover, and he becomes your rival.
It's truly a wonderful turn of events.
"You probably don't remember, but we met when you first arrived."
In the beginning, Shirin stood on the rooftop, looking down at each new member.
I've always been alone.
Xilin pushed one of the cups of tea in front of Jiang Wan, picked up a cup herself, and leaned back.
Through the rising steam from her cup, Shirin looked at the girl opposite her... no, even if she looked similar, she was no longer a girl.
The little girl who once caught my attention, timidly following behind the boy, nervously watching the world, has grown up to be who she is today.
Shaking her head, Shirin suddenly sighed:
"Time, it's such a sad thing to think about."
Loved ones depart, friends grow old, hometowns change...
Shirin has seen too many departures and changes, and will continue to see them in the future.
This is the destiny that comes with being an immortal being, and it is also Shirin's destiny.
She was afraid of such a fate, and after repeatedly trying to escape, she chose to go with the flow.
Since you will all leave me one day, I will not feel the loss if I do not know you.
Since time changes the world, I might as well go hide in a place where it won't change.
But now, Shirin has accepted her fate because someone is willing to walk with her.
This road will no longer be lonely.
And for that future, Shirin has to work hard.
Taking a deep breath, Xilin's expression changed, and she looked into Jiang Wan's eyes.
"Actually, the moment we didn't start fighting the moment we met, we both knew that we would compromise."
Shirin was straightforward and revealed the most essential part of this meeting.
"It's just a matter of who gives in first."
The main event is here!
As Jiang Wan sat up straighter and became more serious, a faint golden light gradually appeared in her eyes.
Make your move; I won't give in easily!
However, Jiang Wan, who was well-prepared, was destined to be disappointed.
"You don't need to be so nervous. Are you worried that I won't be able to bow my head because of my legendary pride?"
Shirin didn't make a move at all.
No, it won't.
Smiling and shaking her head, Xilin stared at Jiang Wan, who was starting to tense up, and said softly:
"Since I'm the one who made the mistake, why can't I be the one to apologize first?"
Although you weren't officially dating at that time, I admit that you came first.
All the formalities and ceremonies beforehand were not meant to intimidate, but rather to demonstrate sincerity!
"At first, I was just curious about him and thought he was a little guy with something special about him."
