Lan Jue smiled bitterly. "I really don't want to waste your youth."
Xiu Xiu turned her head and looked at him. "I never asked for anything. I just want to be by your side.
If you want to deprive me of this, then I have no reason to live. "
Lan Jue was shocked. "It's not that serious, is it?" He knew Xiu Xiu's character very well. This girl was soft on the outside but hard on the inside. It was really hard to change her mind once she decided on something.
Xiu Xiu said seriously. "Yes!"
Lan Jue smiled bitterly. "Okay, okay. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Xiu Xiu said softly. "Don't talk about this in the future, okay?
I just want to see you often. I'm satisfied with being by your side.
I'm different from them. I've never stayed with you because I'm grateful. It's just something simple. "
Lan Jue's heart sank slightly. He knew that among Zeus's four maids, Xiu Xiu was the one who had the deepest feelings for him. That's why he told her first.
These girls were all in their twenties. They couldn't stay by his side and waste their youth.
He really couldn't promise them anything.
Xiu Xiu grew up with him. It was impossible to say that he had no feelings for her.
However, from the beginning, he had always regarded Xiu Xiu as his younger sister. After a long time, this feeling was somewhat difficult to change.
Later, he had Hera, and it was even more so.
All these years, Xiu Xiu had always been by his side without complaint or regret. She never made any requests and never did anything to embarrass him. But the more she did this, the more uncomfortable Lan Jue felt.
Soon, the high-altitude verti-car returned to the periphery of Skyfire Avenue. After parking the car, Lan Jue opened the door and got off.
Just as he was about to walk in the direction of Skyfire Avenue, suddenly, he felt a softness behind him.
Xiu Xiu tightly hugged his waist from behind. Her delicate body trembled slightly. "Don't leave me.
Okay?
I beg you. "
Even if Lan Jue had a heart of stone, she couldn't help but soften in an instant. She sighed softly and said, "Fine, I promise you that I won't say such words again.
Xiu Xiu.
I'm really afraid that you'll fall too deep. "
"I'm not afraid," Xiu Xiu said resolutely.
Lan Jue turned around and stroked her head. Xiu Xiu threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
At this moment, Lan Jue suddenly sensed something.
He looked in another direction and saw a face full of tears.
Zhou Qianlin stood there silently, holding a box in her hands. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips.
She reached into her bosom and pulled out the Spirit Caller gem that she had always cherished. A white light flickered on her wrist, and she gently took off the Sea God's Pearl bracelet.
Spirit Caller Gem.
Zhou Qianlin said, "I'll give it back to you."
After saying this, she squatted down and put the necklace and bracelet on the ground.
Then, she turned around and left with the box in her arms.
Lan Jue wanted to chase after her, but Xiu Xiu's arms were very tight, and she was crying very sadly.
Without the Spirit Caller Gem, he couldn't communicate with Zhou Qianlin anymore.
What he couldn't see was that Xiu Xiu, who was lying in his arms, was looking in the direction that Zhou Qianlin left from the corner of her eyes.
Xiu Xiu cried for a full ten minutes.
Then she gradually recovered.
"Boss, let's go home." She held onto Lan Jue's arm.
She lowered her head and said.
"Okay." Lan Jue agreed, his heart heavy.
He put his right hand behind his back and waved gently in the distance. The necklace and bracelet flew over and fell into his hand.
After returning to Skyfire Avenue, Lan Jue went directly to her residence.
The Zeus Jewelry Shop on the ground floor was still open, because it only dealt in ordinary gemstones.
Looking at Xiu Xiu's red and swollen eyes, the other three women couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but Lan Jue didn't explain anything. She just went back with a gloomy face.
"Beep, beep, beep!" The interstellar communication number continued to ring, but there was no answer from the other side.
Looking at the Spirit Caller Gem in her hand and the Sea God's Pearl bracelet, Lan Jue suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
Of course, he knew why she rushed over, because she must have sensed his return through the fusion of their abilities. She deliberately came to wait for him and seemed to want to tell him something.
But she just happened to see Xiu Xiu hugging him, she undoubtedly misunderstood.
The interstellar communication continued to go unanswered, and Lan Jue couldn't help but frown. He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, thought of her, and summoned her, a summon from the fusion of their Soul Power.
However, to Lan Jue's surprise, Zhou Qianlin seemed to have cut off the connection between them. Although he could feel Zhou Qianlin's energy fluctuations, Zhou Qianlin didn't cooperate, so the summon couldn't be successful.
What was going on?
The misunderstanding started when he expressed his love. He wanted to leave for a while to let everyone calm down and think more, but who knew that the misunderstanding would deepen.
I can't let this go on. Lan Jue's eyes flashed with a firm light. Although he had been cultivating hard these days, his mind had always been haunted by the beautiful figure of Zhou Qianlin. He already completely understood that in his heart, she had an indispensable position.
Since he was sure of this, and had made up his mind, he wouldn't hesitate any longer.
After experiencing the blow of Hera, three years of silence, and the recent awakening, he had matured a great deal. This was the growth of time and experience. For a man, there was nothing more important than this.
I'll go find her and clear things up, so that both of us won't suffer.
Looking at her face today, I don't think she's heartless towards me. Otherwise, what's the point of everything before?
Forcing himself to calm down, Lan Jue's thoughts became much clearer. Love sometimes needed to be rational. The majority of misunderstandings that couldn't be fixed were because they delayed the best time to resolve them.
Thinking of this, he took a shower, changed his clothes, and left his residence.
"Boss." Zeus's four Maids were in the shop. When they saw him come out, they called out in unison.
They'd been with Lan Jue for a long time now, and could naturally see that he wasn't in a good mood today.
But now he seemed to be recovering.
Just then, Lan Jue's communicator rang.
"Wine Master." Lan Jue answered.
"You're back?" The Wine Master's deep voice answered.
"Yeah." Lan Jue replied.
The Wine Master's voice was low. "Then come to my place."
Lan Jue's brows furrowed. "Now?"
He'd just made up his mind to find Zhou Qianlin and clear things up, to avoid any further complications. But the Wine Master had suddenly summoned him.
"If you don't have anything particularly important to discuss, then come now."
"Alright."
Lan Jue nodded helplessly. If the Wine Master was willing to talk to him, then there was no doubt he had something important to discuss with him. It was most likely related to the Clairvoyant, who was on the verge of completing his Death Door.
