The surroundings gradually quieted down, and unspeakable expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Ah Li laughed, staring at Song Xiu's eyebrows and eyes, and continued, "If you can't keep the sand, you might as well let it go."
Renault didn't interrupt. He stood quietly to the side watching Ahri. His sister was indeed different now, and he liked her even more.
The woman who had been surrounding Song Xiu suddenly burst into laughter, "Then if you don't want him, give him to us instead."
Some people couldn't resist reaching out and pulling Song Xiu home.
As a result, Song Xiu dodged it.
He even hid with Ahri in his arms?
Ahri was stunned. He could have just dodged away himself, so why did he have to hug her?
Song Xiu stood behind Ah Li, holding her waist. His expression was cold as he said, "Even if you don't want me, I won't go with anyone else."
The women didn't understand what Song Xiu was saying, but Ali did. She patted Song Xiu's hand that was around her waist and said to the women, "You've all seen it, he chose me. So... stop staring at my man all day long."
Song Xiu's ears turned red. Her man?
Renault, standing to the side, clenched his fists. Why did his sister say he was her man?
He didn't like his sister saying that.
Just then, a graceful woman noticed Renault. She walked up to him and said, "And him? He'll be an adult soon..."
Renault's expression changed drastically. He ran to Ah Li with a look of fear on his face, grabbed Ah Li's left arm, and said, "Then I choose Sister Miao Li too! I don't want anyone else!"
On planet M10, on the day the boys come of age, they hold a coming-of-age ceremony where they choose a woman to help them become men.
A woman spoke up: "You want Sister Miaoli, but does your Sister Miaoli want you?"
"She has a man with her now, and that man is stronger than you, and definitely better than you..."
Just as the women were about to spout nonsense, Ahri tilted her head, and a small green snake appeared on her shoulder, glaring menacingly at the women present.
The women gradually quieted down, each taking a step back. They said, "We were just chatting and joking. Ah Li, how did you manage to summon your Gu worms?"
Ahri twitched the corners of her lips and said with a half-smile, "Renault is still young. There are some things that his grandmother will teach him on the day he comes of age. So please don't scare him beforehand."
"Then tell us, and we'll understand... Really, we won't bother you anymore."
The group of women then dispersed.
The courtyard returned to its former tranquility. Ahri looked at Renault, whose arm was still around hers.
Standing behind her, Song Xiu, who was holding her waist, didn't let go. She said, "Let go of me, I need to go cook."
"I won't let you go, sister. Will you bring me back on the day of my coming-of-age ceremony?"
Renault glanced cautiously at Ahri; if he had to choose one person for his coming-of-age ceremony, he hoped it would be her.
Song Xiu paused before finally letting go.
Just now, his personal computer was able to receive signals from the capital planet, so he will be able to leave soon.
So, whether she'll agree or not, he... probably won't be able to see it.
Ali also looked at Song Xiu at this moment and said, "At the coming-of-age ceremony, the elders will invite people from other planets to attend. You can also come and participate and see if you know anyone."
Song Xiu looked at Ah Li with a deep gaze. Did she want him to leave as soon as possible so that the boy in front of her could have room?
