Hu Liena really wanted to complain about what her teacher Bibi Dong had said, but she did not have the nerve.
In her mind, though, her teacher always made assumptions when it came to love, like a brainless little girl. And she was always so timid, too-not even as brave as Hu Liena herself.
She liked Li Ye too. If her teacher had not held her back today, she would have run over to greet him and give him a great big hug long ago.
Bibi Dong naturally understood Hu Liena's little thoughts, but she lacked the courage to act like her. She was long past the age when she could dare to love and hate, and she had lost the right to do so as well.
It was just that Li Ye did not know that the An Dong'er he loved was Bibi Dong, the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall. If he had known, he would only have said, "You're incomplete, and so am I. We're both missing pieces, so why care so much? Why feel inferior? If two incomplete people come together, wouldn't that make them whole?"
After spending a few days in Xilu City, Li Ye left, continuing his search for An Dong'er.
In truth, he knew better than anyone that he had already found her. She simply did not want to see him, so he could only pretend he had not found her and keep searching until the day they both found each other.
Perhaps because he now had some certainty in his heart, Li Ye bought a small boat and a nautical chart leading to Sea God Island, wanting to see whether he could find it. Perhaps he could find An Dong'er there. After all, the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom was very close to Sea God Island.
