Chapter 1413: Chapter 1235: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

No, no, it must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!

Xia Dabao was thinking when she heard a soft voice calling, "Aixi?"

Xia Dabao turned to look and saw a graceful lady standing beside the rose bushes, smiling at Long Aixi, with indescribable joy in her eyes.

From the girl’s expression, Xia Dabao knew that this girl’s feelings for Long Aixi were out of the ordinary.

Long Aixi also noticed the girl, and he seemed a bit surprised, "Xianzhi? Long time no see."

That surprise, Xia Dabao mistook for joy.

Zhou Xianzhi walked toward Long Aixi, "Aixi, I heard you were in the back yard, so I specially came looking for you. I didn’t expect to actually find you here, and you’ve grown quite a bit taller."

"Yeah, you’ve grown a lot taller too," Long Aixi smiled.

"Then... are you still in charge of hanging the lanterns this year? Since I don’t have anything else to do, why don’t I help you hang them as well?" Zhou Xianzhi smiled.

The two of them seemed very familiar with each other.

Long Aixi then glanced at Xia Dabao, about to say that there were enough people here and to suggest Zhou Xianzhi hang lanterns elsewhere, but after the earlier incident, Xia Dabao didn’t dare to be alone with Long Aixi anymore, and quickly said, "Sure, the more the merrier, Lady, your arrival is perfect."

Only then did Zhou Xianzhi notice Xia Dabao, and she couldn’t help asking, "Oh, I haven’t seen this lady before, are you...?"

Xia Dabao smiled and said, "You can just call me Dabao."

"Dabao?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianzhi suddenly remembered the times in Iceland when Long Aixi had corresponded with her, and it was the kind of correspondence where he’d write, "I miss you, do you miss me?"

"So you’re the Sister Dabao who has been corresponding with Aixi all along?" Zhou Xianzhi’s smile was somewhat bitter.

"You’ve heard of me?" Xia Dabao had only mentioned it to manage the awkwardness of being alone with Long Aixi, but now that she heard Zhou Xianzhi knew of her, she felt it was right to have kept Xianzhi around.

"I’ve heard, you and Aixi are very good friends, and also a good sister," Zhou Xianzhi said.

For some reason, Xia Dabao, who had never minded being called sister by Long Aixi before, now felt a bit awkward hearing the word "sister."

By two years, no less!

"Your name is Xianzhi, right?" Xia Dabao put aside the awkwardness for a moment and handed a few lanterns to Zhou Xianzhi, "You have experience, you hang these, so I can also learn."

"Okay!" Zhou Xianzhi nodded and took another glance at Long Aixi.

In Long Aixi’s eyes, there was a trace of faint disappointment.

Without saying, she knew she had come at an inconvenient time, Long Aixi’s feelings for the one named Dabao were special, but Dabao obviously didn’t know, hence her carefree demeanor.

After hanging lanterns for a while, Xia Dabao suddenly coughed twice, and Long Aixi quickly came over to ask, "Abao, why did you suddenly start coughing? Is your throat uncomfortable?"

"No, just a bit thirsty," Xia Dabao answered.

"I’ll go get you a pot of water," Long Aixi said before heading inside.

Now, Long Aixi and Zhou Xianzhi were the only ones left.

...

"Aixi... is always nice to people," Zhou Xianzhi said, watching Long Aixi’s retreating figure.

"Always?" Xia Dabao looked at Zhou Xianzhi and for some reason, the word "always" made her uncomfortable.

Hadn’t Lanlan said that Long Aixi treated everyone indifferently, but was very nice to her?
