Lan Jue responded with a sardonic chuckle “I don’t want to steal the spring of your youth”

Xiuxiu turned her head and gave hi from you I’ve only ever wanted to be by your side If you want to depriveto live for”

Lan Jue was stunned by the strength of her words “You can’t be serious?” Lan Jue knew Xiuxiu She looked soft, but she was made of iron When she id answer “Absolutely!”

He gave a soft laugh and shook his head “Alright then Pretend I never said anything”

Her ain, ok? I just want to see you often, and be by your side when you need irls I didn’t stay with you out of affection My reason is simple”

Lan Jue felt his heart sink from her tone He knew Xiuxiu was the one who felt most deeply of all the A women in their twenties, it wasn’t fair for him to keep them so close It was a waste of their precious youth, and he couldn’t give them what they wanted”

It was impossible that Xiuxiu didn’t have any interest at all However, he’d always seen Xiuxiu as a little sister After so long, that feeling was deep-rooted When later he met Hera, Xiuxiu was even more the confidante and friend than a love interest

Through all the years Xiuxiu was unfailingly at his side She never asked for anything, and she never brought hih, only made him feel worse

Even if Lan Jue was a hard man, he couldn’t help but cru, “alright I proain Xiuxiu, I’m afraid you’re in too deep”

“I’m not afraid” She answered resolutely

They separated and Lan Jue turned around He gently stroked her hair, and Xiuxiu fell in to his e tickled at the back of Lan Jue’s mind as he held her, and he lifted his head He saw another figure nearby, her face also wet Zhou Qianlin stood in silence, with a black box clutched in her hands She wavered slightly froht fall over, and her lip was caught between her teeth

Lan Jue heard her voice in his head

“Have these back”

She crouched and placed the box, necklace and bracelet upon the floor Full of grace and composure, she rose to her feet and left

Lan Jue wanted to follow, but Xiuxiu held on to hi from her sobs Without the Soulcaller, he had no way to explain

He couldn’t see Xiuxiu’s red eyes, staring in the direction Qianlin had left
