Chapter 430: The Inevitable Farewell
Chapter 430: The Inevitable Farewell
After Suixui's dazzling display and a long silence from the system, she couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Lele... Are you leaving?"
The system sighed helplessly, "Yes, it's time to go."
In truth, it was time to leave long ago, but it was reluctant to part ways with the child it had watched grow and excel over the years.
However, its task was now complete.
Suixui had grown up well, and she was capable of supporting herself and even helping others.
The system's companionship could now come to an end.
It was like an elder who had accompanied Suixui on her journey to adulthood, gradually aging and then departing as she matured.
Suixui had always known this day would come, but she was still reluctant to face it.
Over the years, Suixui had become accustomed to the system's presence.
As a child, she eagerly awaited the evening when a brother or sister, an uncle or aunt from another place, would tell her fascinating stories she couldn't quite understand.
As she grew up, Suixui's anticipation shifted...
She longed for someone to come and impart more experience to her.
Whether it was about farming, life, or production, or anything else.
Even just hearing news from another world, allowing her to experience the differences between the two worlds, was delightful.
In this way, Suixui could take the opportunity to summarize the disparities between their worlds and identify areas for further development.
But now, the system was about to leave.
Suixui felt a tinge of sadness.
As her mood sank, her horse, Withwind, sensed her emotions and slowed down gradually.
Lu Yinxiao noticed the change immediately and tightened the reins, turning to ask, "Suixui, what's wrong?"
Feng Xuantan had already galloped ahead joyfully, creating a hundred-meter distance between them.
The distance was too great for them to communicate loudly and be heard by the other.
Xiang Gugong and the others followed slowly behind the carriage.
At this moment, a vacuum seemed to form between Suixui and Lu Yinxiao.
Suixui looked back and forth before whispering, "Lele is leaving."
When she was younger, the system's existence was exposed early on because children can't keep secrets.
As she grew up, Suixui understood that it was best to keep such a secret to herself, as the saying goes, 'An innocent man with a treasure is guilty.'
However, Lu Yinxiao was different.
Even if Suixui didn't tell him, he would eventually notice the anomalies surrounding her.
So, she didn't hide it from him.
After learning about the system, Lu Yinxiao had been trying to help Suixui conceal its existence, preventing others from detecting any abnormalities.
During her birthday at the beginning of the year, Suixui had already told Lu Yinxiao about the system's impending departure.
Now that she mentioned it again, it meant the departure was imminent.
In the past ten years, there had been others who came and went hastily.
Suixui had experienced more than one painful separation.
But the system...
It was different.
It had taught Suixui so much, and she was grateful for its companionship and for choosing her during her most challenging times.
Now that it was leaving, a flood of reluctance filled her heart.
Suixui didn't know where to begin, and she felt powerless to change the situation.
Lu Yinxiao understood Suixui's feelings. He rode over, reached out, and gently took her hand, saying softly, "It's already amazing that it could accompany you for so many years. Think of it as if you raised a little fox cub or a yellow labrador, and now its lifespan is coming to an end, and it's time for it to return to its original place. Maybe that will make you feel better?"
Suixui immediately felt even more upset upon hearing this, and she began to cry, "Wuwu, will Caizhao also leave me one day?"
Caizhao was a large yellow dog that Suixui had adopted the year before. They found him in the Frontier City and raised him, only to discover that he seemed unusually large. Both Prince Qing and Lu Yinxiao suspected that he might be...
The offspring of a wolf and a dog.
Caizhao was ferocious, but he was exceptionally gentle with Suixui, always treating her with kindness.
Last year, Caizhao fell seriously ill and nearly died. Suixui was so frightened that she rushed back to the capital on horseback with Caizhao. Even the Imperial Physician had to intervene to save Caizhao.
To facilitate Caizhao's recovery, Suixui left him in the capital.
And now, they had been apart for almost a year.
Whenever Lu Yinxiao mentioned dogs, Suixui would think of Caizhao, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
Even the System was close to breaking its composure.
Wait, how did they go from talking about it to cats and dogs?
Yes, cats and dogs are indeed adorable.
But isn't the System cute too?
It must be that Lu Yinxiao is jealous of it!
Hmph!
Suixui is good, but Seventh Brother is bad.
Lu Yinxiao couldn't see or touch the System, so he secretly grumbled about it.
The System thought to itself, it's better not to argue with bad people, and since it was about to leave, it decided not to get upset with a love-struck person.
It's not worth it.
What could possibly be in the mind of a love-struck person? If you dig it up, even dogs won't eat it, finding the taste too bland.
The System, of course, was even more disdainful!
Lu Yinxiao, seeing that Suixui was still crying after his attempt to console her, became flustered and frantically tried to comfort her, "Suixui, don't cry. There's no need to be afraid or panic. If all else fails, we can see if we can tie up Lelu."
System: ?
Are you even speaking human language?
And what gives you the right to tie me up?
Hmph!
You think you can tie me up just because you have advanced technology?
You'll need a few more centuries for that.
The System, of course, wouldn't say such things out loud. It would still comfort Suixui.
Who wouldn't feel distressed seeing the child they raised crying?
It's unbearable!
Both the System and Lu Yinxiao worked together to soothe Suixui, finally managing to calm her down.
Xiang Gugu, hearing the commotion, came over to check on Suixui. After learning that Suixui was just teary-eyed, she handed her a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Suixui felt a bit embarrassed.
Especially when Feng You Tan heard the noise and rode back, only to see Suixui with red eyes. She curiously asked, "Hey? I didn't see you cry when we parted, but why is your reaction so slow now?"
Lu Yinxiao glared at her.
Feng You Tan: ?
What's wrong?
Did I say something wrong again? Feng You Tan was still afraid of Lu Yinxiao.
Even though she was about to become his sister-in-law very soon.
But she was still afraid!
Perhaps it was an innate fear from childhood, deeply ingrained in her bones?
Feng You Tan felt this was unacceptable. She was about to become his sister-in-law, so how could she not even suppress her future brother-in-law?
But then she thought...
Perhaps she really couldn't.
Because Lu Yinxiao's future wife was also a princess.
Feng You Tan thought that she became a princess because of her family's loyalty and valor, which was thanks to her parents.
Suixui became a princess because of her own abilities, even though she also relied on her parents' background. But most of the time, it was due to her own efforts.
Sigh!
Some things just can't be compared.
When compared, she felt like she was nothing.
However, even if she was nothing, she was still Lu Yinxiao's sister-in-law. Upon returning to the capital, she would report him to Lu Yinsong!
Hmph!
If she couldn't deal with Lu Yinxiao, she would find someone who could.
Feng You Tan, seeing that Suixui was truly fine, rode off with Withwind.
The second chapter will be released at 7 PM.
