Chapter 450: A Strong Backer (2/2)

”My mother stayed up all night sighing,” explained Song Jie. “Alas, it looks like she’s really worried!”

”It's alright. I wouldn’t know what to say to her even if she came to see me off.”

Song Jie stuck out her tongue, ”Thank goodness I don't have to marry you. I haven’t decided how to address you in the future. It’s so weird just thinking about it.”

”You already know what your heart wants, don’t you?” I teased, pinching her little nose.

Song Jie colored with embarrassment, playfully punching me in the chest. ”Hmph, I don’t know what you mean by that!” Despite the denial, her gaze flitted over to where Song Xingchen was standing, secretly sneaking a glance.

Right before we parted, Song Jie said, ”Save travels! I’ll visit you when I have time, if my mother allows it!”

After saying my goodbyes, I nudged Song Xingchen who was sitting next to me. ”Don't you have anything to say to her?” I whispered.

”No!” came his stiff reply.

”You should wish her goodbye even if you have nothing to say,” I urged. “God knows when you’ll see each other again.”

Song Xingchen remained indifferent, with the same apathetic expression on his face, but his fingers betrayed his emotions. Fiddling with the design on the scabbard, he didn’t seem to know how to express himself despite having much to say.

Only when I ordered him to go down and say goodbye did Song Xingchen alight from the vehicle.

The both of them stood at the intersection, speaking for a considerable amount of time before Song Jie jumped into Song Xingchen’s arms, much like a little girl. Looking at a loss, Song Xingchen didn't know where to put his hands as he whispered to Song Jie which was quite uncharacteristic of him.

I sneaked a glance through the mirror, smiling to myself. While I experienced quite a number of obstacles during this trip, nothing felt quite as important as this moment.

When Autumn’s Golden Wind embraces Dew of Jade, all the love scenes on earth, however many, fade.
