Chi Niannian looked down at Xiyan gripping her small hand, her eyes filled with complexity.
She looked up, "No, it wouldn’t be good to fill your ho with the sll of smoke."
Only then did Xiyan notice that Chi Niannian was smoking again.
She was smoking those very thin ladies’ cigarettes, but... they still were harmful to her health.
Xiyan clasped her hands behind her back and leaned against the wall, "Can you promise sothing?"
Chi Niannian looked at Xiyan, "I can."
She didn’t ask what it was.
Just one word, can.
"You should smoke less of those things in the future," Xiyan said, bending slightly to take the cigarette from Chi Niannian’s hand, squatting down to pinch it out carefully, and then throwing it into the nearby trash can.
Watching this series of natural movents, Chi Niannian felt as if sothing gently nudged her heart.
She reached out to smooth her hair, her indifferent facade masking the storm within.
Xiyan completely missed her odd behavior, made a tiny fist in determination, "Ou Jue has already started quitting smoking under my supervision, and next, I will supervise you too."
Seeing her determined expression, Chi Niannian couldn’t help but laugh.
She reached out and ruffled Xiyan’s hair, "Do you know you look just like one of those disciplinary committee mbers from primary school?"
"So you all better be careful, if I catch you smoking again, it’ll be noted down."
Chi Niannian looked towards the night sky and said, "I might be leaving City B for a while."
Xiyan imdiately stood up straight, "Huh? Why? Didn’t you just co back?"
"I want to go out and clear my mind," Chi Niannian said, her amber eyes glancing at Xiyan, "Before I leave, there are a few questions I’d like to ask you."
"What questions?"
"Do you really like Ou Jue that much?"
"Of course I do; if I didn’t like him, I wouldn’t be with him."
"But his mother and brother have schizophrenia. Although Ou Jue is healthy now, how can you ensure he’ll stay that way?"
Such hereditary diseases have a long latent period.
They might suddenly appear one day.
Xiyan gently said, "I can’t ensure he’ll stay healthy, I can only ensure that I’ll love him always."
Such words were like a stone cast into a calm pond, creating ripples upon ripples.
Chi Niannian fell silent, complex emotions in her eyes.
"Previously, because of my presence, there were so many misunderstandings between you and Ou Jue, do you bla ?"
Xiyan quickly shook her head, "I know you were thinking of from a friend’s perspective, you were doing it for my sake."
Chi Niannian’s lips pulled slightly, the lingering faint sll of tobacco on her body imbuing her with a worldly flavor, "It was for your sake, but I wasn’t thinking from a friend’s perspective."
Huh?
What does that an?
Chi Niannian straightened up, turned around and pinned Xiyan against the wall.
???
Xiyan was baffled.
What on earth was happening!!
Chi Niannian’s split hair frad her delicate face, as one hand encircled Xiyan in her arms, the other gently caressing her face, "I was thinking from a lover’s perspective, got it?"
