“Take these well, little kids!
Don’t drop them!”
After making the payment, the staff member placed four ice creams with different flavors into their hands.
Originally, Xu Yue intended to pay himself, but Xu Xiaoyan stubbornly snatched the chance away under the pretext of wanting to express her gratitude.
Fortunately, some time had passed since their Spirit Fusion technique, and Xu Xiaoyan’s spirit power had recovered a bit, so she was no longer weak.
Holding the ice cream at the moment, she followed closely at Xu Yue’s side step by step.
“Monitor…” At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan spoke softly.
“What is it, classmate Xiaoyan?” Xu Yue turned his head to look at her, “Is there something you need?”
“Um…” Xu Xiaoyan was slightly bashful, but her eyes held expectation.
“I heard both older sisters call you A-Yue, so can I call you Brother Ah Yue?”
Hearing this, Xu Yue couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Of course you can, as long as you like it, classmate Xiaoyan.”
“Hehe!” Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan’s eyebrows instantly curved upward, and her steps became brisk.
“Then Brother Ah Yue, you can just call me Xiaoyan from now on!”
Holding their ice creams, the two walked quickly along the pavement and soon returned to Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin’s side.
Xu Xiaoyan smiled and handed one of the ice creams in her hand to Ouyang Zixin.
“Sister, this is yours.”
Ouyang Zixin smiled as she took it and thanked her.
On the other side, Xu Yue was also holding an ice cream and placed it in front of Mu Xi.
“Sister Muxi, your favorite orange flavor.”
At this moment, Mu Xi’s heart was still surging with turbulent emotions because of Ouyang Zixin’s words earlier.
Looking at the ice cream in Xu Yue’s hand, her gaze flickered for a moment.
On one hand, she didn’t want to accept anything from Xu Xiaoyan, but on the other hand, she couldn’t say any words of refusal to the boy in front of her.
After waiting for a few breaths, Mu Xi still silently took it.
Ouyang Zixin took a bite of her ice cream, swept her gaze across the few of them, and smiled as she said goodbye to Xu Yue.
“Little Brother Ah Yue, Sister has other matters here, so I won’t walk with you guys.”
At this time, Xu Xiaoyan also saw a soul-guided car stopped by the roadside not far away.
A man got down from the car and waved toward this side.
Xu Xiaoyan glanced at Xu Yue somewhat reluctantly and said in a low voice, “Brother Ah Yue, my brother has come to pick me up.”
“Alright Xiaoyan, see you tomorrow.”
After nodding heavily, Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly.
“See you tomorrow, Brother Ah Yue.”
As she spoke, she ran toward the waiting vehicle on the roadside, looking back every few steps.
Ouyang Zixin and Xu Xiaoyan left together.
When passing by the vehicle, she even greeted Xu Xiaoyu.
Xu Yue watched the two leave before looking at Mu Xi.
“Sister Muxi, let’s go too.”
However, to his surprise, Mu Xi, who had always been lively, cheerful, and bantering with him,
Seeing this scene, Xu Yue was somewhat stunned.
Until he watched Mu Xi’s figure gradually walk away.
After quite a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead in vexation.
He had been immersed in the feeling brought by the Spirit Fusion technique Herrscher of Rimestar, coupled with Xu Xiaoyan’s weakness, which caused him not to pay attention to Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin beside him.
Until this moment, he suddenly realized.
Ever since leaving the park, Mu Xi had not spoken even a single word beside him.
What on earth was the reason for this?
Vaguely, a rough idea formed in his heart.
The so-called Spirit Fusion technique was quite marvelous on the Douluo Continent.
From the Golden Triangle, Hell White Tiger, and Domain of the Undifferentiated Yin and Yang from twenty thousand years ago, down to the Purple-Gold Dragon Butterfly Transformation of Huo Yuhao, Wang Qiuer, and Wang Donger from ten thousand years ago, and so on.
Any Spirit Masters who possessed a Spirit Fusion technique would inevitably have a rather complicated emotional bond with one another.
If it was possessed between opposite sexes, ninety-nine percent of the time they would become lovers and spouses, spending the rest of their lives together.
Even between the same sex, they might not necessarily escape this fate.
Passionate, unpassionate, wouldn’t you say so?
Just like the day before yesterday, Mu Xi’s pleasant surprise when she first felt that attraction, and then her disappointment after hearing his denial.
Coupled with witnessing how he and Xu Xiaoyan truly formed a Spirit Fusion technique today.
No matter how slow-witted Xu Yue was, he should have understood by now.
Thinking of this, he didn’t hesitate, quickly following the direction Mu Xi had gone and standing firmly at her side.
At this moment, no explanation was needed, nor could it be explained.
Only through the purest actions could he prove her position in his heart.
Mu Xi’s soft, delicate hand was grasped into his palm, but almost instantly Xu Yue detected the strength of her struggle.
He gradually exerted force with his hand, but it was just right.
Ensuring that it wouldn’t hurt her while also preventing her from breaking free.
Until this soft hand struggled for a moment and found that it couldn’t escape no matter what, at which point it gave up all resistance.
“What an overbearing little bastard!”
Mu Xi cast a sideways glance with her golden eyes at Xu Yue walking side-by-side with her, secretly reproaching him in her heart.
But this kind of overbearingness completely settled her wandering and uncertain heart.
The two walked slowly along the familiar street.
As time went on, their steps became slower and slower.
Because ahead, the Eastsea Intermediate Academy was already in sight.
Until this moment, the consistently silent Mu Xi spoke for the first time in front of Xu Yue.
“A-Yue, do you think…
can we keep walking down this road together in the future?”
“Of course!” Xu Yue replied affirmatively without hesitation, “We can walk down this road forever!”
As soon as his voice fell, he felt the jade-like hand in his palm tremble and gradually relax.
“However…”
Before Mu Xi could finish, Xu Yue immediately interrupted.
“There are no ifs! Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Sister Muxi, trust me!”
“I guarantee that we will also have our own Spirit Fusion technique in the future.”
“Really?!”
“Of course.”
The brief exchange ended.
Not only the hand held in his palm, but Mu Xi’s shoulders, which had been tense all along, also completely relaxed at this moment.
A smile gradually appeared on Xu Yue’s face, and he suddenly pretended to let out a sigh of grief.
“Sigh…
I didn’t expect Sister Muxi to be such a person.”
“What’s wrong with me?” Mu Xi looked over with a hint of doubt, asking incomprehensingly.
“You actually want to abandon me?” Xu Yue’s sigh grew deeper, “You must know that when we were little, you actually treated me…”
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Xi’s cheeks instantly flushed red with shyness.
Her steps paused, and her slender, beautiful legs made a motion to kick.
However, looking at Xu Yue, she stopped again.
At this moment, some melted ice cream dripped onto her fair, jade-like fingers.
A trace of coolness washed over her, instantly waking her up.
Without hesitation, Mu Xi forcefully shoved the ice cream in her hand directly into Xu Yue’s mouth.
“Eat the ice cream your Xiaoyan younger sister bought for you.”
She looked toward the school gate right in front of them and angrily pulled her hand free.
“Humph!
I don’t want to talk to you for the next three days!”
Having said that, she fled like escaping into the Eastsea Intermediate Academy.
Xu Yue watched Mu Xi’s figure gradually recede, smiling as he took the ice cream out of his mouth.
Looking at the two ice creams of different flavors—one orange and one blue—in his hands, he swallowed them into his belly in two or three bites.
“Both orange and blueberry are delicious…”
“Therefore…
I want both.”
Until Mu Xi’s figure disappeared into the campus, did he take out his communicator and dial a number.
“Hello, Sister Zixin, do me a favor…
please, please…”
From the other end of the receiver, Ouyang Zixin’s light laughter came over.
“Little Brother Ah Yue, doing this isn’t very good, oh!
But well…
it’s no problem for me to help you!”
“An equivalent exchange, you have to help me with a favor too.”
“No problem.”
“…”
