Black Owl had sensed Lin Shuang's approach long ago, and thought she wouldn't come in, but she did.
Their eyes met.
One was visibly impatient, the other was unbearably shy.
“Miss Lin Shuang, you shouldn’t have come here. It will damage your reputation.” Hei Xiao stopped meditating, his expression very serious and his voice very cold.
Seeing his behavior, Lin Shuang realized that he had no romantic feelings for her, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
But she still closed the door behind her, her eyes red and her teeth clenched as she said, "I know, Brother Xiao Chen, I'm not afraid."
Black Owl: "..."
Girl, you're not afraid, but I am!
I don't want to get married yet, and I especially don't want to marry a woman I don't like!
Looking at Hei Xiao's cold and distant eyes, Lin Shuang felt bewildered, uneasy, and even more unwilling.
That person is right.
Even if she grows up and becomes someone who matches him, she won't be able to have him if he never develops feelings for her.
She could only force the issue with him, wait until they consummated their marriage, got married, and had children;
For the sake of the child, he will eventually develop feelings for her!
A thousand thoughts raced through Lin Shuang's mind, all clamoring for Black Owl, and she began spouting lies.
"Brother Xiao Chen, I'm not here today to make things difficult for you. I just want to end things for myself. I know you already know how I feel, and I know you don't have feelings for me anymore. It's not that I haven't thought about giving up, but I just can't let go..."
"Miss Lin Shuang, why are you doing this? I truly have no romantic feelings for you whatsoever." Seeing that she had brought up the subject and seemed to be giving up, Hei Xiao directly stated his own feelings.
Lin Shuang took out wine and dishes from her storage ring and set them on the table. While shedding tears, she said, "Brother Xiao Chen, the Princess said that you do not belong to the Royal Palace, nor do you belong to the Great Zhao. You can never go back to your original identity. So I will consider you a person of the Jianghu. Jianghu matters should be settled in the Jianghu. Let's let bygones be bygones with a cup of wine. After drinking these three cups of wine, you will still be you, and I will be myself again. We will return to what we were before and have no more connection."
These words were spoken with such decisiveness and boldness, as if the girl had been influenced by Xiao Yao'er and Xiao Xique.
Black Owl thought her choice was admirable.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll drink!"
After saying that, Black Owl got up and went to get the wine pot on the table.
Lin Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a little panicked. She quickly grabbed Hei Xiao's hand and said, "Hey!"
This was the first time she had ever touched his hand.
A stronger, more intense feeling of palpitation surged from his hand into Lin Shuang's heart, like an electric shock, making her feel incredibly happy. The warmth of his hand gave her a strong sense of happiness, and she wanted more!
"What..." Black Owl looked at her in confusion, thinking she was going to change her mind.
"This...this heartless wine..." Lin Shuang's lips trembled with excitement and shyness, and she stammered, "I...I want to pour it for you myself!"
Upon hearing this, Black Owl withdrew his hand, assuming she was sad and heartbroken.
With trembling hands, Lin Shuang lifted the wine pot and poured wine into the pure gold cup.
The sound of the wine falling into the glass was like the sound of knocking on the door of happiness for her.
It's very pleasant to listen to, and it brings great joy.
Overwhelmed with excitement and smugness, many drinks spilled from the glasses, wetting the table.
Lin Shuang, trembling, picked up the full glass of wine, trying her best not to spill it, and handed it to Hei Xiao: "Brother Xiao Chen..."
