Shi Han was unaware that in the hearts of the secret guards, Di Chenxiao was a god they revered, and they could not show the slightest disrespect to him.
Whale Fall Island, where the secret guards are trained, has a beautiful name, beautiful scenery, and a story... even more beautiful.
Shi Xi lay on the sofa without any regard for her image.
"Xiao Xiao, does Thirteen also have feelings for Second Brother?"
Di Chenxiao had just taken a shower, and water droplets were still dripping from his hair. Wearing pajamas, Di Chenxiao was less cold and stern than during the day, and more gentle.
He walked over to Shi Xi and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Thirteen is a secret guard. All secret guards are people who have no ties in the world. I asked Di'er and Di Yi to find orphans and train them to be secret guards."
Not only because they had no worldly attachments, but also because they were utterly loyal. In their hearts, I am their faith.
"Shisan likes Shihan, she can sense it, but because of me, she won't agree to be with Shihan."
Shi Xi: "Second brother is so pitiful! Is the loyalty of the secret guards to you like that of soldiers to their country?"
"Hmm. But I didn't brainwash them. After Di Yi brought them back to Whale Fall Island, I didn't appear in front of them many times. It's probably because Di Yi's training was effective."
"Whale Fall Island? Whales, given to the ocean, give back to the ocean. The name is very evocative. Your relationship with the secret guards is like that of a whale to the ocean!"
Di Chenxiao's hair is very short; it dries quickly with a towel after a quick wipe.
He placed the towel on the bedside table and picked up his phone.
He said in a hollow voice, "The ocean is also the whale's home."
Shi Xi got out of bed and looked at Di Chenxiao with a complicated expression.
In the book, Di Chenxiao disappeared when he was nearly thirty years old. Could he be hiding on Whale Fall Island?
Di Chenxiao made several calls, but no one answered.
He could only make the call again and again.
Shi Xi concealed the strange feeling in her heart. She would stay by Di Chenxiao's side forever; he would never disappear.
She was somewhat surprised; who could possibly make Master Chen call her so tirelessly, over and over again?
After dialing countless times, the call was finally answered.
Di Chenxiao: "Uncle Chong."
Uncle Chong?
It's Uncle Zhongda!
She met the man on the ship, and she accidentally injured him.
Chong En was lying on the recliner, silently looking out the window, when he asked impatiently, "What is it?"
He just wanted some peace and quiet, but that brat kept calling to bother him.
Di Chenxiao didn't care about Zhong En's attitude; he had already endured even worse attitudes before.
"Uncle Chong, Happy New Year! Wishing you... a Happy New Year."
"Just for this? Humph—"
"I……"
Di Chenxiao seemed like a child afraid of making a mistake in front of Chong En, and he stammered when he spoke.
Shi Xi leaned over her phone and said, "Uncle Zhongda, this is Xiao Xi."
The person on the other end of the phone changed their tone, "Xiao Xi, do you still remember Uncle Zhong?"
Di Chenxiao turned on the speakerphone on his phone.
"Of course I remember. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to disembark safely. Today is the New Year. I wish you a happy New Year and a happy family reunion."
"..."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Shi Xi was at a loss for words in the silence; she seemed to have said something wrong!
Uncle Zhong's daughter seems... unable to reunite with him.
She blinked, silently asking Di Chenxiao what to do!
Di Chenxiao patted Shi Xi on the back to comfort her.
After a long while, a weary voice came from the phone.
"Xiaoxi, can you call me... Dad?"
For a moment, he truly felt that Shi Xi was his daughter, with her similar appearance and tone of voice.
