"She does dislike me." Li Ting did not hear this part.
"Your name is very similar to hers."
Jiu Chi nodded gently. "Yes."
Li Ting was silent for a moment. "I'm going to pick some vegetables to cook. Are noodles okay?"
"Anything is fine."
Li Ting left.
Jiu Chi sat there, thinking about something. However, he looked a little lonely and even sad.
After a long time, a very soft voice gradually sounded, and then disappeared into the wind.
"It's only right that she hates me.
"I owe her."
He would never be able to repay her.
…
A day apart felt like three years. Lu Zhichen felt that he had not seen Xing Jiuan for a long time.
He returned to his room after dinner and sent a message to Xing Jiuan.
[Lu Zhichen: Have you eaten?]
Xing Jiuan was eating. Her phone was charging in the bedroom, so she did not see this message.
Lu Zhichen waited for a while, but there was no response. Even so, he was not anxious.
Xing Jiuan didn't play with her phone much, so she probably didn't have it with her.
After dinner, Mu Qing sat on the sofa with Xing Jiuan and suddenly spoke.
"Come with me to the training ground in a few days' time."
Too many things had happened in the past few days. He could clearly tell that Xing Jiuan's mood was off.
The training ground was a good place to vent.
Xing Jiuan would go there a few times every year, staying for about half a month at a time. She was almost used to it. She was about to say okay when she suddenly remembered something and hesitated.
"You don't want to go?"
"No, Senior Brother, please arrange it."
Xing Jiuan felt strange. Why did she suddenly remember Lu Zhichen?
Had she gotten used to seeing him every few days?
No, she probably just couldn't bear to leave Warlord.
Yes, that was it.
"Is Xing Xiaoguai coming along too?" Xing Jiuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Xing Xiaoguai, who was sharpening its claws, jogged over and rushed into Xing Jiuan's arms.
"Meow~" Its voice was soft and coy.
Xing Jiuan touched its little head and rubbed it again.
She had been neglecting Xing Xiaoguai recently. Furthermore, Mu Qing and the others were also very busy, so Xing Xiaoguai was often taken care of by others.
However, Xing Xiaoguai still liked Xing Jiuan very much.
Even though they had not seen each other for a few days, Xing Xiaoguai would still call out to Xing Jiuan in a soft and coquettish manner when they met again. It would even rub against Xing Jiuan's feet, lick her hands, and show its tummy to ask for a caress.
Ou Qi even said enviously, "If only I had the physique of a cat."
It was a pity that Xing Xiaoguai didn't like her very much. Occasionally, Xing Xiaoguai would reluctantly let Ou Qi hug it for the sake of snacks and dried fish.
Just the thought of it made Ou Qi feel stifled.
Mu Qing looked at Xing Xiaoguai. "Bring the cat if you want to."
Xing Jiuan looked at Xing Xiaoguai. It had not grown up yet and still looked childish.
"Forget it. Let it stay."
It was a long journey. Although the place was also in Country Hua, it was too far from here. Xing Jiuan was worried that Xing Xiaoguai would not be able to take it.
Xing Xiaoguai seemed to know that Xing Jiuan was going to leave it at home again. It whined pitifully and rubbed against Xing Jiuan's hand again.
Xing Jiuan felt especially comfortable rubbing its head. However, she still had no intention of changing her mind.
Mu Qing looked at Xing Jiuan and Xing Xiaoguai playing together and smiled. "Xing Xiaolang might get jealous."
Xing Jiuan looked at Xing Xiaoguai. "No, Xing Xiaolang is already a big brother."
Mu Qing shook his head and smiled.
Why were the wolves and cats around Xing Jiuan so good at acting?
In Xing Jiuan's eyes, Xing Xiaolang must seem especially obedient.
