After her reflection, Xia Chuyi tilted her head back up and asked Huo Shiqian once more, "That's right, Brother Shi Qian, how long can you actually stay this time?"
Hearing this, Huo Shiqian paused slightly in his movements.
Xia Chuyi blinked her eyes in confusion, looking at Uncle Liberation Army.
The air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds before Huo Shiqian responded with a deep, slow voice, "Chuyi, I'm sorry, but after dealing with Jackson's issue, I must return to the army immediately."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi's eyes widened as she stepped back from his embrace, asking in astonishment, "Return immediately after dealing with the issue?"
Now that the Jackson siblings had been taken away, practically meaning the issue was resolved, didn't that imply that Uncle Liberation Army would be leaving soon?
No wonder he had just said "I'll visit everyone another day."
Seeing Xia Chuyi's lips gradually pout, Huo Shiqian couldn't help caressing her hair, "I do need to leave immediately."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi's face visibly fell.
Huo Shiqian could only sigh and say, "Chuyi, the truth is, I hadn't planned to see you on this trip."
Or to put it another way, he had originally planned to just sneak a peek at her.
As it turned out, when his uncle brought Jackson over according to plan, Xia Chuyi happened to be there as well.
And so, the two had unexpectedly met.
Xia Chuyi couldn't help frowning and pouting, saying, "If it was just to deal with the issue, why did you have to come back? We could have handled it as well."
Although that's what she said, Xia Chuyi knew that without Huo Shiqian's presence, the Jackson siblings probably would never have realized that Professor Bao was determined not to give them the inheritance.
And Huo Shiqian's status, to a certain extent, could effortlessly make those fake foreigners understand that the Bao Family's wealth was not something they could covet.
So, that's why Professor Bao had Uncle Liberation Army come over…
In short, or rather summing it all up, Xia Chuyi knew that after a brief reunion, they would have to part again.
A strong sense of reluctance suddenly surged in Xia Chuyi's heart.
However, she quickly comforted herself, "Compared to what I originally thought would be a long time without seeing each other, being able to meet briefly now is already very good."
Thus, Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "It's fine, I understand."
"I'm sorry," Huo Shiqian said, rubbing her head.
"No need to apologize." In a blink of an eye, Xia Chuyi managed her emotions and put on a beaming smile, "This is stolen time, let's fully enjoy it first!"
She certainly didn't want Uncle Liberation Army to leave with the image of her crying pitifully.
Huo Shiqian looked at her and thought: His girl was truly different from other women.
This unique treasure belonged to him.
With that thought, the corners of Huo Shiqian's mouth could not help but lift slightly.
"Okay." Huo Shiqian nodded, once again taking Xia Chuyi's hand as they strolled down the leafy path of Kyoto University.
They hadn't walked far when they heard the sound of someone talking from behind a nearby tree.
"I'm sorry, Feng Qi, I can't accompany you abroad," a man's voice said.
Sure enough, the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Xia Chuyi exchanged a glance with Huo Shiqian, intending to avoid them.
"Zhicheng, are you sure you want to give up going abroad to study, to give up your dream for Ou Jiao?" a woman's voice rang out.
