Di Xing pushed up his glasses, a gesture that people who wear glasses seem to like to make.
"Ashi, it's good that you can let go."
Di Jiu was a little confused. "What kind of riddles are you playing? Does Ah Xing mean that Ah has been released?"
Indra touched the watch on his wrist. The second hand ticked away, and by touching the vibration of the second hand, he could almost feel the passage of time.
“I’ve let it go. Didn’t Ah-Xing say that maybe my feelings for Xiao-Xi were never love from the beginning?”
Di Xing reached for a bottle of milk on the table, inserted a straw, and took a sip.
"I'll take this bottle."
After saying that, Di Xing grabbed Di Jiu and left Di Shi's room.
Indra threw the unfinished Ox Year wine into the trash can.
"We are just friends, friends forever."
He picked up another bottle of milk from the table, inserted a straw, and slowly drank it.
Her feelings for Xiaoxi have gradually faded with time and with Xiaoxi's happiness.
But feelings are like food addiction; you can only truly quit them if another addictive thing appears.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the stars on the screen cast a faint glow, guiding those who have lost their way.
Shi Xi returned to her room, snuggled into the covers, and nestled in Di Chenxiao's arms.
"Xiao Xiao, you're still awake? I played a few games with Brother Qin and the others, and I didn't pay attention to the time..."
"You don't need to ask me to report what you've done, nor do you need to explain yourself. Don't I trust you enough?"
Di Chenxiao covered Shi Xi's mouth with one hand, silencing her from saying what she wanted to say.
Xixi went out to find Di Shi; she had told him about it.
She messaged him to let him know she was back so late.
Shi Xishuang grabbed the hand that was covering her mouth, "I was just afraid you'd be jealous."
"My girlfriend is so well-behaved and cute, why would I be jealous?"
Even if he's jealous, he won't say it.
"It's so kind of you."
Di Chenxiao rubbed Shi Xi's head, grabbed her small hand with his large hand, and gently patted Shi Xi's back with his other hand.
"Go to sleep, it's late."
"Um."
**
Time flies, and it's already the end of November.
The weather has turned cold, and the antidote for Emperor Wu has not yet been developed, but the location of Zhui's lair has been identified.
Di Chenxiao is heading to Country A today, but before he leaves, he wants to say goodbye to Xixi.
Shi Xi was wearing a light brown undershirt, a beige skirt, and a coat.
School classes continued, and Shi Xi shuttled between Xiyuan, her home, and the school every day.
She was at school studying when Chen Xiao called her.
Shi Xi answered the phone, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong?"
She twirled the pen in her hand like a juggler, performing many different tricks.
Di Chenxiao: "Xixi, I need to leave the capital for a while."
'Thud—' The pen fell onto the table.
Shi Xi pinched the pen between two fingers and casually placed it in the crevice of the book.
Leaning back in his chair, he asked, "When?"
"Now."
A hint of unhappiness flashed in Shi Xi's eyes; she didn't want to be separated from Xiao Xiao.
"Is it in such a hurry? Let me see you off."
Di Chenxiao hadn't boarded the plane yet, so he didn't dare make a video call, afraid that if he saw Xixi's face, he wouldn't be able to leave.
"Yes, we've found Zhui's lair. I have to go to Country A." To avenge Xixi, retrieve Xixi's information, and possibly bring back the antidote for Pu Rui.
