Companionship Is the Most Enduring Confession? Not Even Dogs Believe That!
"Teacher, I can't sleep without holding Cheng Xiao."
Bibi Dong came before Chihiro Ji, looking at him pitifully, her face full of grievance.
"Oh?"
"What's wrong? That brat doesn't want to sleep with you anymore?"
"That doesn't sound like him!"
"I remember when I adopted you two, that little guy was incredibly protective of you."
"When he saw that I was taking you away, he even awakened that Peerless Martial Soul of his to protect you. He gave me quite a scare."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken him in as my Adopted Son."
"So why does that brat seem so distant toward you now?"
Looking at Bibi Dong, who had come to complain to him, Chihiro Ji could not figure out what was going on either.
How had everything been fine yesterday? That boy had practically wanted to stick by Bibi Dong's side twenty-four hours a day, yet today, Qian Chengxiao had been acting strangely the entire time.
His attitude toward Bibi Dong was extremely cold. He had even been deliberately distancing himself from her, without bothering to hide it at all.
Strange. It was far too strange.
As Chihiro Ji voiced his doubts, Bibi Dong sniffled with her tiny, adorable nose. Her eyes immediately reddened, and tears the size of beans pattered down her cheeks.
She sobbed, "When it was time to rest, I wanted to hold him and sleep like usual, but he directly drove me out of the tent."
"No, that's not right. The moment I entered the tent, he drove me out."
"He said men and women should keep their distance, that we're too old now and should sleep separately."
"But, Teacher, I really can't sleep well without him. I can't fall asleep at all."
Hearing Bibi Dong's words and seeing her pitiful, aggrieved expression, Chihiro Ji's eyes widened. "That brat's getting too big for his boots!"
"Come on, Little Girl. I'll take you over there and see what he thinks he's doing."
"That brat really doesn't know how lucky he is."
With that, Chihiro Ji rose and took Bibi Dong by the hand, heading toward Qian Chengxiao's tent.
"Teacher, don't blame him. I'm the one who lost him."
Seeing the little girl clutching him tightly and refusing to let him go to Qian Chengxiao's tent, Chihiro Ji sighed helplessly. "Little Girl, you're already this attached to him. In the future, that brat will have you wrapped around his finger!"
"Teacher, I'm willing."
"As long as I can be with Cheng Xiao, anything is fine."
"He once told me..."
"Companionship is the most enduring confession, staying together is the warmest promise, and longing is the gentlest wait."
"Devotion is the most infatuated vigil, understanding is the quietest love talk, letting go when leaving is the most helpless release, and waiting is an eternal promise."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong's thoughts drifted far away, and scenes from her Previous Life resurfaced in her mind—every little thing Qian Chengxiao had done for her.
His meticulous care and protection had remained unchanged for decades.
While Bibi Dong was lost in thought, Chihiro Ji, whom she was holding onto, became somewhat dazed after hearing her words. He murmured softly, "Companionship is the most enduring confession?"
"Companionship is the most enduring confession? Not even dogs believe that!"
"Pah!"
"Wasn't I there for her enough back then?"
"In the end, I was nothing more than a pathetic simp!"
"A simp stays a simp, and in the end, he gets nothing!"
Inside the tent, Qian Chengxiao was annoyed after driving Bibi Dong out.
"Damn it, she actually wanted to come over and ruin my life again."
"I've already repaid everything I owed you in my Previous Life. In this life, don't even think about harming me again."
Saying that, Qian Chengxiao stroked his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly as he began to ponder. "There are so many beautiful women in Douluo. Why should I hang myself from your one tree?"
"Back then, I must have had lard in my brain to hang myself from that one tree."
"Cultivation is what matters now. Only absolute strength can guarantee my future life."
With that, Qian Chengxiao sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and resumed cultivating.
"Teacher, could you help bring the two of us together?"
"Look, Cheng Xiao is your Adopted Son, and I am your disciple."
"He is now the Spirit Hall Saint Child, and I am the Spirit Hall Saintess. The two of us were meant to be together."
"On top of that, we are Spirit Hall's Twin Stars. The Saintess belongs with the Saint Child."
"Our bloodlines are both so good. The children we have in the future will definitely have even better bloodlines, perhaps even surpassing Cheng Xiao and me."
"So, Teacher, can you help me?"
After coming back to herself, Bibi Dong looked at Chihiro Ji, who had fallen into deep thought for some unknown reason, and asked.
Hearing Bibi Dong's voice, Chihiro Ji lowered his head and saw the timid look in her eyes. She was even worried that he might not want her, looking so pitiful and delicate that Chihiro Ji immediately flew into a rage. He said irritably, "Of course I can."
"After all, I've thought highly of you two little ones from the start."
"Besides, if you aren't with him, who else does he think he can be with?"
"If that brat dares not to want you, I'll break his legs."
"He really doesn't know what's good for him."
With that, Chihiro Ji angrily pulled Bibi Dong toward Qian Chengxiao's tent.
This time, as Chihiro Ji once again pulled her toward Qian Chengxiao's tent, Bibi Dong did not stop him.
Following behind Chihiro Ji, the corners of her lips curled upward slightly.
After all, her final few words had struck right at Chihiro Ji's heart.
She also knew what Chihiro Ji valued most.
One was strengthening Spirit Hall, and the other was bloodlines.
Otherwise, in her Previous Life, he would not have feared that she and Yu Xiaogang, that useless trash she had fallen for after having lard in her brain, would have children with poor talent and bloodlines. He had drugged both her and Cheng Xiao, turning Cheng Xiao into Secret Room Douluo.
This time, she would work both angles.
First, she would have Chihiro Ji act as her wingman and give her more support.
After all, in Cheng Xiao's heart, Chihiro Ji and Qian Daoliu still held very important places.
Second, if Cheng Xiao still kept his distance from her before she encountered Yu Xiaogang, then she would make use of that useless Yu Xiaogang. She would let Chihiro Ji misunderstand again, have him drug her, and make Cheng Xiao become Secret Room Douluo once more.
Even if he did not do it for her, Cheng Xiao would be willing to become Secret Room Douluo again for Ren Xue, their daughter.
At that thought, the curve of Bibi Dong's upturned lips grew wider and wider.
Cheng Xiao, no matter what happens in this life, I will never let go again.
This time, I definitely will not lose you again.
Even if I have to resort to any means necessary, I will keep you by my side.
This time, there will be no ambition, no desire. Even if I have to give up everything, I will never let go again.
