Baili Xijiang suddenly grinned and lifted her wet hairpin from the water. "Found it!"
Seeing her silly look, Qin Xi suppressed her pouting lips, snatched the skirt, and started to walk towards the shore.
"You can play by yourself, I'm going upstairs."
She decided to give the job to Baili Xijianggan.
She needs to rest on the side.
She was busy with the enthronement ceremony for quite a while, and also dealing with various important matters of the sect, while maintaining a calm demeanor. She was really exhausted.
Qin Xi casually found a rock to sit on, while Baili Xijiang stood there sighing and looking at her, "Really not playing anymore?"
Then he dropped his fork, shrugged, and sat down next to her.
Both of them were soaking wet, their faces covered in water.
Today the weather is fine and sunny, the river is crystal clear, and the bright sun shines on the gently flowing water.
Baili Xijiang leaned back a little, and the two shadows merged together.
"Qin Yuanyuan, actually, I'm here today to tell you some good news."
Qin Xi turned her head. "What good news?"
Baili Xijiang put on airs and said, "Take a guess."
His arrogant demeanor made Qin Xi annoyed, so she bent down, scooped up a handful of water, and splashed it on him.
Baili Xijiang dodged for a moment, then laughed heartily, "It's alright, I'm a dragon and I love water the most, give me more."
Qin Xi swung her fist and punched him, glaring at him.
Why is this guy always so annoying?
"Ask me what it takes for me to tell you," the annoying Baili Xijiang said, leaning closer.
Qin Xi moved aside in disgust, "Then tell me, what do you want in return?"
The two of them stirred the river water with their feet, enjoying the cool and pleasant sensation.
Baili Xijiang braced his hands behind him on a large rock, squinting at the bright sun.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Qin Xi stirred the river water, causing ripples to spread across the surface, and her voice became more relaxed: "Just tell me, why are you beating around the bush?"
"Seeing Master and Uncle being so sweet together, I'm a little envious. No one has ever said they like me before. Can you pretend to like me and say something to me?"
The voice was languid, as if the speaker wasn't paying attention at all.
But this made Qin Xi, who was bending over to play in the water, pause in her actions.
A moment of panic flashed through my mind.
She didn't dare turn around.
"Do you even know what you're saying?!"
One didn't dare turn around, and the other could only nervously watch her straight back.
Baili Xijiang swallowed hard, his heart pounding.
Then, mustering up his courage, he said it again, "I said, just pretend you like me and say something to me."
Immediately afterwards, a large handful of water came towards me.
He was then pushed to the ground and met the girl's angry eyes: "You've got quite the nerve! I'm now the sect leader of the Heavenly Mystery Sect!"
Why, why do you think I would like him?
Whether it was anger or embarrassment, only Qin Xi herself knew.
Baili Xijiang was stunned for a moment, then sat up again, his head hitting the back of his head painfully. He muttered aggrievedly, "But I'm not bad either."
"How could you joke like that? Baili Xijiang, you're a complete bastard!"
Qin Xi bit her lip, feeling an inexplicable anger.
Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, Baili Xijiang panicked.
He quickly moved a little closer, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it's not like that..."
Qin Xi gave his shoulder another push, this time with less force, "What are you doing? Are you deliberately teasing me!"
This time, he wasn't swayed.
"I am..."
He stammered and then fell unusually silent.
Qin Xi saw his face, his ears were red, and her heart skipped a beat.
They seemed to have sensed something.
The girl stared at him for a long time, then suddenly calmed down.
"A Hundred Miles of River Scenery".
He exclaimed "Ah!" and met her beautiful eyes, then lowered his head again.
"..."
The sounds of insects chirping, birds singing, and the flowing river suddenly became exceptionally loud.
Qin Xi lowered his head, swung his legs, and stirred the river surface, making some noise.
"Ascension is imminent, and after finding the last fragment, we don't know if we'll be able to reunite, so..."
"If you have something to say, you may never have the chance again if you don't say it today."
It was very rare for the two of them to speak so calmly.
The day Wan'er parted ways after her sacrifice was the first time.
This is the second time.
Baili Xijiang's clear black and white pupils also showed his seriousness.
"I know."
That's why I've kept you here today.
He understands everything, but he's unwilling to face separation. He thinks that if he acts silly and laughs and jokes around with everyone, everyone will feel better.
But even though they all had great faith in A Yao regarding the ascension, what if it really meant the destruction of their world?
No one could have predicted it.
So these past few days everyone has been sticking together, cherishing every moment spent together.
Baili Xijiang turned to look at her and gave her a silly smile: "Qin Yuanyuan, actually I'm not too sure either."
"But, I feel like I might... like you a little bit."
The source cannot be found.
There doesn't even seem to be a reason.
They argue and bicker every single day.
However, when he saw her pale-faced and weak, bound in the Wutong Mountain prison, Baili Xijiang felt anxious and scared, and subconsciously went up to help her carry the load.
Especially when I saw her unable to control herself and filled with murderous intent in the evil realm, I felt so sad.
He couldn't distinguish his own feelings, after all, he had never liked anyone before.
One day, while browsing the Spirit Network, he stumbled upon a gossipy post by someone else.
