Sometimes he would wonder, if back then he had stayed by her side like Duan Xi, would the outcome have been different.

Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent.
Outside, Zhao Li came up from downstairs. Since Lu Xian's room was the first at the staircase, she stopped in front of the door and said to them, "You're awake? That's good. Pack up, we'll go over for lunch at noon."
Saying that, she didn't wait for their response and turned to head to the other two rooms, calling Lu Zishu and Ruan Jie respectively.
Zhao Li's appearance broke the previous silence, and Ruan Chi got up. As he walked to the doorway, Lu Xian stopped him, saying in a carefree tone, "Don't worry, after being siblings for so many years, what's a few more decades? I know what to do."
