Chapter 1229: Chapter 1051: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

While engaged in the snowball fight, Zhou Xianzhi had been keeping an eye on Long Aixi. Noticing he seemed on the verge of sweating, she couldn’t help but say, "Brother Aixi, you must be thirsty by now, I’ll go get your water bottle for you."

"No..." Before he could finish his word, Zhou Xianzhi had already run off, and as another snowball came flying towards him, Long Aixi quickly ducked for cover.

Zhou Xianzhi quickly ran into Long Aixi’s room, where she was responsible for attending to him and knew exactly where he habitually placed his water bottle—on the rack beside the table.

After grabbing the water bottle and about to turn to leave, Zhou Xianzhi inadvertently glanced at the letter on the table.

Since the ink wasn’t dry when he left the house, Long Aixi had left it open. She peeked at it out of curiosity.

"Sister Abao?" When Zhou Xianzhi saw this address, she didn’t think much of it at first, but as she read the following line, "I miss you so much," she paused in surprise.

Who exactly was this "Sister Abao"?

Zhou Xianzhi stood there dazed in the room for quite a while before she walked out with the water bottle.

After handing the water bottle to Long Aixi, he simply said "Thank you," took a few sips after unscrewing the cap, and then, as he needed to continue the snowball fight, he left Zhou Xianzhi holding the bottle.

Zhou Xianzhi held the water bottle, feeling the soft layer of cowhide, and she couldn’t help but smile, as if she were touching Long Aixi’s hand.

...

The next day, the children went to the center of the island to catch fish again.

This was also one of the island’s entertainment activities. First, they had to saw open the thick ice on the lake, then add some fish feed, and wait for the fish to bite. This game wasn’t about eating the fish but just for fun.

Simply sawing the ice open took a long while, but the longer it took, the more patience was required, and there was a special feeling of achievement upon succeeding, so all the children were willing to wait.

Long Aixi had never played this before and found it dangerous, afraid that one could fall through and be in mortal danger. But after some observation, he realized he was being overly cautious—the ice was thick enough to bear the weight of a small mountain, let alone a few children—so he decided to join in as well.

The children split into groups, each responsible for several ice holes, and by coincidence, Long Aixi and Zhou Xianzhi ended up in the same group. While waiting for fish to come after breaking open the ice hole, Zhou Xianzhi finally couldn’t hold back any longer. She bit her lip and then asked Long Aixi, "Brother Aixi, who is Sister Abao?"

"Sister Abao?" Long Aixi looked at Zhou Xianzhi, a flicker of surprise in his eyes: "How do you know about Sister Abao?"

"Well... yesterday, when I went to your room to get the water bottle, I saw it, unintentionally. There was a letter on your desk, it was for Sister Abao," Zhou Xianzhi said a bit apprehensively, fearing Long Aixi might blame her.

But Long Aixi showed no intent to blame her, just looked at Zhou Xianzhi and said openly, "Sister Abao is a really cute girl, we’ve known each other for many years, but we’ve never met face to face. However, I think we’ll meet sooner or later."

"Will you marry her?" Zhou Xianzhi asked.

"Marry her?" Long Aixi couldn’t help but smile, "If she agrees, I would naturally marry her."

After saying that, Long Aixi suddenly exclaimed, "The fish are here! Get the spear ready for me."

"..." Zhou Xianzhi looked at Long Aixi’s handsome, refined profile, feeling a profound sense of loss in her heart.
