Still a Girly Heart, Still a Girly Heart

"Even an eleven-year fan is going to die—!"

"Miss Eden, what are you doing here?"

Eden, completely oblivious to his fans' expectations, arrived at the gym at this time.

Feixiao was also there.

Feixiao was momentarily surprised when he saw Eden.

"Can't I come?"

"Hmm... of course you can come."

Feixiao glanced at Eden's eyes.

Yes, those were eyes that refused to be weak.

Although Fei Xiao felt that Eden should not be here now, the moment he saw that look in her eyes, Feixiao knew that saying anything more would be pointless.

I must have looked like this to others back then, right?

"Want to exercise? Although there aren't many things here, it's enough for basic training."

Feixiao felt that he had neglected his exercise these past two days due to various things, which is why he came to the gym.

However, Feixiao was indeed not used to suddenly going from a general's status to an unemployed status.

Several times, Feixiao passed by the office and heard conversations inside. He wanted to go in and listen in for guidance...

As for Enkanomiya... sorry, after yesterday's meeting, while Liu Bai was fighting Rita, she and Acheron swept up Enkanomiya and also repaired the terrain.

"Eden, is this your first time here? Do you need my guidance?"

"Thank you for your help, General Feixiao."

Eden readily accepted good advice; she knew who the strongman was in the family.

If I continued to train according to Rita's instructions as before, my potential in this lifetime would probably only be as high as Rita's.

—At least that's how it is perceived.

If it were Feixiao... it would be like comparing a tutor with a college diploma to a tutor with the Doctor; the latter would be far more reliable.

"Then leave it to me."

Feixiao revealed a slightly stern smile.

"Before practicing martial arts and strengthening your body, you must understand why you are practicing martial arts and strengthening your body. Understanding your true self is an essential path in the martial arts life - Eden, what is your true self?"

"I think..."

"Come on, say it out loud," Feixiao encouraged Eden.

She saw a familiar look in Eden's eyes, but Eden was not the same as she had been back then.

Therefore, more considerate guidance is needed.

"I want to stay on Liu Bai's bed longer!"

"...?"

Retract the foreword.

I avoided the Lunar Fury, but am I already losing my eyesight at this age...?

Chapter 383 Still a Girlish Heart, Still a Girlish Heart

"... I don't think we necessarily have to be so honest."

Feixiao rubbed his forehead.

You really don't treat me like an outsider!

"Didn't you say we should understand our true nature?" Dian blushed; she had mustered up all her courage to say those words!

If Feixiao's lines weren't so comic book-like, she wouldn't have said that!

"... Alright, I'll take your understanding for now."

Feixiao was speechless for a moment.

"In that case... I'll start by guiding you from the very basics."

"What a coincidence, miss, you're also here for vacation on Watatsumi Island?"

"Um... you, who are you?"

Firefly, who was shopping, was startled by the woman blocking her way.

Tall and slender, with a faint, composed smile on her lips, coupled with an understated yet powerful aura emanating from her...

Kafka, save me—!

Firefly was caught in a state of social anxiety after being suddenly approached by someone.

"Hmm... well, it seems this young lady has completely forgotten our previous meeting."

"A brief encounter...?"

Firefly carefully examined the other person's face.

Gray hair and red eyes...

"Ah... she's the older sister of the two brothers!" Firefly finally remembered who she was.

When I was on a date with Kafka and Liu Bai, I saw this La Signora with her two younger brothers at the restaurant.

... However, compared to this La Signora, the performance of the two younger men was more impressive.

"... Please don't use those two people's dark history to describe others, okay?"

"I'm so sorry..."

Firefly apologized very sincerely.

Putting herself in her shoes, she wouldn't want to be called "the best friend of the woman who cheated on her Xianzhou."

"There's no need for that, it makes it seem like I'm bullying you." The woman opposite shook her head. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Vita."

"My name is Firefly."

"It's a rather poetic name, but..."

Vita for a moment, but ultimately didn't say it.

If this word were used as a person's name, wouldn't it sound a little pitiful?

"By the way, where's your boyfriend?"

"!"

The Firefly immediately went into alert mode.

We will never allow any outside vixen to covet Liu Bai!

"..."

Is this what they call stepping on a landmine?

Vita almost couldn't keep her smile going.

There were so many flaws that she couldn't even begin to criticize them.

... Well, it's not necessarily all bad, is it?

"I was just asking casually to start a conversation, Miss Firefly, your father's possessiveness is way too strong, isn't it?"

Vita teased with a smile, her composed demeanor causing Firefly to blush slightly.

"... He, he simply had something to do and couldn't be with me."

Speaking of this, Firefly was quite dejected.

If it were still the same makeshift team, she would most likely be able to get Liu Bai to keep her company.

... Okay, the competition is fierce now.

"I see... Miss Firefly, would you like to eat and chat? It's not easy to run into an 'acquaintance' while traveling."

Night.

Knock knock knock.

"Please come in."

Squeak...

"Firefly? They're here so early?"

Liu Bai turned around and looked at Firefly, who had just entered, with some surprise. He reached out to hug her.

Firefly blushed and dodged to the side.

"No, it's not about that..."

What kind of person have I become in Liu Bai's eyes?

Can't I come here for reasons other than Sese?

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

"Yes..."

Firefly awkwardly took out a small gift box from behind her back.

"To give... a gift."

"Hmm..."

I never expected that I would receive a gift at this time—something or something, or rather, most of the people who came here were presenting it to me.

"May I ask what it is?"

"It's... a small wooden carving... someone recommended it to me, hurry, hurry and open it to take a look."

Firefly looked at Liu Bai expectantly.

"Someone else? Kafka?" Bai asked casually, opening the gift box in front of Firefly.

Inside is a lifelike wood carving of a firefly.

It's only the size of a palm, just the right size to fit on Liu Bai's desk.

"How beautiful! Is it Firefly too?"

"Actually, it's just a slightly better quality street vendor item..."

Firefly blushed.

"And, moreover, I am the only Firefly...!"

"Are you getting jealous of the wood carving?"

"No, no!"

Firefly's face flushed red.

She originally thought that if she were to pass away one day due to health reasons, Liu Bai would be able to look at the wood carving and remember her.

But after Liu Bai interrupted him, he couldn't say those words anymore.

"Come, Firefly, I also have a return gift here. Close your eyes."

Firefly closed her eyes with a hint of anticipation.

Chirp...

Then, Firefly felt herself being lifted up.

"Eh?!?!"
