"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Please don't be sad, okay?"
"Jerk!" Dugu Qianye muttered.
"Yes, I'm a jerk," Zi Xiao said.
"You're not allowed to bully me!" Dugu Qianye continued.
"I won't bully you. I'll let you bully me. Only you can bully me, okay?" Zi Xiao coaxed.
"If you do this again next time, I'll really make you 'scoop out your heart'!" Dugu Qianye said fiercely.
"There won't be a next time. I won't dare to do it again in the future," Zi Xiao said. Seeing her on the verge of tears, he felt his own heart hurt. How could he dare to let there be a next time?!
It seemed that his scare had, at least temporarily, pushed aside the thing she was initially upset about.
"I love you, in this life and all lives to come. I will love only you forever..." he whispered in her ear, slowly.
Ci Hun sat cross-legged in midair, watching Baili Ruyan and Dingdong laughing and talking, feeling a sense of suffocation. Luckily, not long after, Dugu Qianye and Zi Xiao came out.
