The night breeze is slightly cool.

The surroundings fell silent.

Tuanzi walked on the bluestone road alone and headed for his residence.

Moonlight stretched her shadow, somehow it was deserted.

She lowered her head, seeming to be thinking about things, and walked absent-mindedly.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her, and she was about to run into it.

Tuanzi immediately returned to his senses, and in a panic, his body fell back uncontrollably.

But the other party moved faster than her, and the warm palm grabbed her arm and easily stabilized her figure.

"Why don't you look at the road."

The familiar low voice came from overhead.

Tuanzi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Zi Chen.

She shook her head:

"Thinking about something."

Zi Chen's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"what happened to you?"

She has always been lively and hearty, with a smile on her face, but now she seems to be worried.

"What happened to you, unhappy?"

Tuanzi immediately shook his head, meeting Zi Chen's eyes, and a little weak.

Is it just... so obvious?

She seems to be unable to hide anything in her mind...

Seeing her look, Zi Chen couldn't laugh or cry.

She really didn't know that her little emotions were always very straightforward on her face.

At this moment, it is almost like "I'm not happy but why are you so clear" engraved on the face.

Tuanzi opened his mouth and wanted to ask about him and Miao Xuanxuan, but he didn't know why, deep down in his heart, hesitated again.

It seems... I don't want to hear anything in general.

Although she was ignorant, she also felt that her secret thoughts didn't seem suitable for her to speak out.

So she swallowed those few words back and changed the subject.

"It's nothing, it's just a little tired..."

Zi Chen stared at her for a while.

She wouldn't tell such a small lie. When she spoke, she didn't even dare to look at him.

However, she did not seem to want to say that, Zi Chen did not force it either.

He nodded:

"I heard that on the Phoenix Mountain, you have done a lot. It's amazing."

As he said, he subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand to soften her head.

But halfway through, his expression moved slightly, and then he retracted calmly.

The dumpling can see clearly.

She couldn't tell how she felt.

Coming back this time...Zichen seems to be different.

But she didn't know the specifics, so she could only feel so bored and uncomfortable.

She replied with no energy.

It is said that?

Tuanzi inexplicably remembered what Tian Yiming said.

Are you really so busy, you don’t even have time to take a look?

Is he too confident in her, or... doesn't care at all?

Originally, she had absolute trust in Zichen, but after talking with A Yue just now, she finally realized that it seemed...she was ignoring something.

A Yue said that Zi Chen might not like Miao Xuanxuan now, but that doesn't mean she won't in the future.

He seems to be trying to accept other people.

A Yue also said that Zi Chen was really concerned about Miao Xuanxuan's affairs recently.

what does this mean?

"It's late, go back and rest."

Zi Chen didn't even wait for Tuanzi's answer.

"I have everything you need to eat."

Tuanzi followed his gaze, only to find that they were standing at the door of her courtyard.

And Zichen seems... just came out of it?

Tuanzi asked: "Ah, is Zi Chen specially prepared for me?"

Zi Chen nodded and said:

"You are in a hurry to come back today, and there is no time to prepare too much.

The dumpling shook his head again and again with a bright smile:

"Great! Zichen, you don't even know, I can't eat or sleep well if you haven't been in these three months!"

She squashed her mouth and spoiled her unconsciously.

Zichen's eyes moved slightly.

The dumpling took his hand and was about to walk into the house.

"Have you eaten? If not, let's go together!"

Zi Chen did not move.

With a slight twist of his wrist, he easily broke free of the ball's hand.

Suddenly, his hands were empty, making the dumplings dumbfounded for a moment.

"Purple dust?"

"I have something to do, I can't accompany you today."

Zi Chen said.

Tuanzi opened his eyes slightly.

She had never, never, heard such words in Zichen.

"but--"

But, aren’t they all together before?

Why are you suddenly busy now?

Looking at that indifferent and arrogant face, the dumpling didn't know what to think, and blurted out:

"Are you going to work on Miu Xuanxuan?"

Zi Chen was about to deny it, and suddenly stopped seeing her expression.

The tip of his tongue touched his upper jaw lightly, and then he made a very light and shallow "um".

He gave the affirmative answer so straightforwardly and smoothly, but it made Tuanzi wonder what to do for a while.

She really just asked casually, who knows——

There was a sudden confusion in my mind, and something seemed to be surging in my heart.

After a while, she finally said: "I see."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and rubbed her little finger lightly on the brow bone.

"Then...then go ahead and I will go back first!"

Zi Chen stared at her closely, seeing her emotions clearly.

It’s not that it doesn’t feel bad, but—

"Get a good rest. Also, remember the girl's room, you can't let others in casually."

The dumpling was stunned: "But you are not someone else."

Zi Chen seemed to laugh.

But he said nothing, and finally turned and left.

His figure was quickly engulfed by the night.

Until he couldn't see it anymore, Tuanzi looked back and walked into his yard.

Obviously, the room has been cleaned, and there are all kinds of things she likes to eat on the table.

Zi Chen has taken care of her for many years, and he knows her preferences best. Of course, this kind of thing is also extremely smooth.

The dumplings sat down at the table.

She must have happily started eating these foods in the past, but for some reason today, she has no appetite.

——Zi Chen ate with her before.

Even if there are a lot of things he doesn't like, it's good for him to just sit there.

Dumpling thought blankly, stretched out his hand and rubbed gently on his stomach.

It seems...a bit uncomfortable.

It seems that it is not uncomfortable here.

She slumped down on the table.

There was silence all around.

She slept on her arms and looked at the dense night outside, her eyes blank.

She knew she was unhappy, and it seemed that it was because of what Zichen had just said.

When Zi Chen said that, does it mean that he put Miao Xuanxuan in a higher position?

Does that also mean that he cares more about her?

But didn’t they just know each other for a long time?

Still, people are like this, and what they can give is limited.

She doesn't quite understand.

But she vaguely had a conjecture:

At the beginning, Zi Chen no longer accompanies her to eat together. If Zi Chen and Miao Xuanxuan are really together in the future, then-isn't it even these, she is gone?
