It didn't take long for Ziyu to reply. "Lin Yi bro, are you here? That's great! We're studying this afternoon, I'll go find you with Xi now! "
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly at the message- this Ziyu was really in a rush, not even going to school … However, Lin Yi knew that Ziyu had feelings for him, but he couldn't promise her anything right now.
The Miss, Xiaoxiao, Xinyan, Shu, Xiaoke, and the others were all connected to his fate, future, and mission. They couldn't be separated, but Lin Yi didn't want Ziyu and Chen Xi to get involved. They were too young, and they didn't know how cruel the world of practitioners was.
He'd bring them along if they still wanted to follow him when he was at ease one day and all these things were settled. But he couldn't do that now.
Not long later, Ziyu and Chen Xi ran out of school hand in hand, their faces filled with excitement and joy. Lin Yi didn't know if she'd still be this happy after he told her about her brother, Ying Zhijia.
At that thought, Lin Yi sighed softly and decided to tell the truth. Now that he had news of Armadillo, he didn't want to hide it from Ziyu anymore.
"Lin Yi bro, you're here! Why haven't you seen me and Xi lil sis? Do you not want us anymore?" Ziyu ran over and jumped into Lin Yi's embrace, making Lin Yi pick her up helplessly.
Chen Xi, on the other hand, was a bit bashful, not as bold as Ziyu. She just stood on the side, looking at Lin Yi shyly.
"Alright, Ziyu, you're a big girl now. Don't you know that guys and girls shouldn't touch each other? How are you going to get a boyfriend like this? "Lin Yi put Ziyu down.
"Xi and I are Lin Yi bro's sisters. What boyfriend? "Ziyu looked at Lin Yi, confused.
Looking at Ziyu's face, Lin Yi was even more sure of his guesses. He didn't think that after all this time, not only did their feelings for him not fade, they'd gotten stronger instead!
Before, Ziyu was just using Chen Xi as a cover. But now, she wasn't hiding her feelings at all. This made Lin Yi suspect that Ziyu and Chen Xi had some sort of agreement.
In fact, it was true! Ziyu had always been joking about Chen Xi and Lin Yi, but one night she had a dream and spilled the beans. He also spoke out his own thoughts!
Chen Xi had been suspecting her from the start, and now that Chen Xi had recorded her sleep talking, there was no way Ziyu could deny it!
But Ziyu wasn't a shy person like Chen Xi. Since she'd opened her heart, she continued to brainwash Chen Xi, tricking her. She said that the two of them would follow Lin Yi from now on- with so many people competing with Mengyao, they wouldn't have any advantage at all!
Plus, Chen Xi wasn't the proactive type. She'd be at a disadvantage if she didn't see Lin Yi for half a month, wouldn't she? Chen Xi thought about it. She really did have that kind of personality. Having Ziyu's help would be better, so she agreed.
But Lin Yi didn't know that. That was why he asked.
"Sisters … What do boyfriends have to do with …" Lin Yi blinked.
"Lin Yi bro, haven't you heard of this song? Just how many sisters do you have … "Ziyu hummed boldly.
"Pfft …" Lin Yi finally understood what Ziyu was getting at. He couldn't help but feel troubled! To tell the truth, Lin Yi didn't want Ziyu and Chen Xi to talk about their relationship right now. It wouldn't be easy for Lin Yi to deal with that.
After all, there were too many dangerous things Lin Yi had to do, and it was better for them to maintain that vague brother-sister relationship. And so, Lin Yi acted like he didn't understand. "What does this have to do with singing?"
"Aiya!" Ziyu panicked seeing that Lin Yi didn't understand. "Sister, that kind of sister isn't a real sister. Godsister … means' godsister '… "
"What do you mean by 'sister' … …" Lin Yi said, pretending like he didn't hear the difference in pronunciation.
"Stepsister?"
"Ren! Little mistress! Do you understand? "Ziyu panicked.
"…" Lin Yi was regretting shooting himself in the foot. If he'd changed the topic earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble, but now that Ziyu was talking about it, Lin Yi really didn't know what to do.
"Lin Yi bro, don't listen to Ziyu, she likes to joke around like this …" Chen Xi saw Lin Yi's awkwardness and quickly explained, feeling a little down … Did Lin Yi not like her?
"You're still young, we'll talk about it when you're older." Lin Yi didn't reject her outright. Ziyu was going to face an even bigger setback later, so Lin Yi didn't say much about it.
"See, Xi, I told you Lin Yi bro couldn't abandon us, right? Our youth is invincible, we have too many advantages! "Ziyu nodded happily.
"Oh …" Chen Xi lowered her head, a little embarrassed.
"Ziyu, let's not talk about this first. I came to you for something else, but you have to be strong after you hear it …" Lin Yi said seriously.
"Ah?" Ziyu paused, not expecting Lin Yi to say something like that. After a while, she said carefully, "Is it … about my brother?"
"Yeah …" Lin Yi nodded. It seemed that Ziyu was happy on the outside, but she was worried about her brother. "You have to be prepared …"
"I know …" Ziyu's eyes reddened. "Lin Yi bro … I've guessed it since the moment you came looking for me … My brother asked you to take care of me- even if you're comrades, there's no way he wouldn't have left a letter or a recording, it's not just a picture … My brother used to be on missions, but he'd still contact me occasionally, but this time … It's been so long, and there's still no news …"
Ziyu's tears fell as she spoke. Lin Yi's heart ached a little as he hugged her, patting her soft back. "Ziyu, don't be sad, it's not as bad as you think. Your brother Zhijia didn't die …"
"Ah?!" Ziyu raised her head, her eyes wide with tears. "Lin Yi bro, do you think my brother …"
"He didn't die, but he's like a vegetable now …" Lin Yi could only explain it like that.
