Chapter 1636: Chapter 1458: Epilogue

Long Aixi just glanced at Tian Xiaobei indifferently, before quickly focusing back on cutting the grass. He wielded the sickle with surprising adeptness.

Tian Xiaobei couldn’t help but wonder, was it Xia Dabao who had taught him?

The first time Tian Xiaobei had used a sickle to cut grass, it had also been Xia Dabao who taught him.

"Dabao, good morning," Tian Xiaobei still approached Xia Dabao.

"Mhm," Xia Dabao responded without looking up.

Tian Xiaobei knew Xia Dabao would react like this, so he wasn’t in a hurry, overflowing with patience.

But the young man next to Xia Dabao shifted his position to block the space between Xia Dabao and him.

"Dabao, do you have guests at home?" Tian Xiaobei was sure that there was no relationship between the two of them, and maybe this young man was also serving as Xia Dabao’s shield.

He remembered Xia Dabao had said that her family didn’t really have any relatives left.

Xia Dabao said nothing, but Long Aixi stood up and smiled at Tian Xiaobei, "Divine Doctor Xiaobei, long time no see."

Divine Doctor Xiaobei?

Tian Xiaobei was startled, finding Long Aixi’s face familiar but unable to recall where he had met him.

"Have we... met before?"

"Of course, in Capital City, at Pang Yanyan’s villa, right? Back then, everyone called you Divine Doctor Xiaobei. Coincidentally, I was also there that day. Long Aixi, nephew to the General Residence, remember?"

"So, it’s you!" Tian Xiaobei finally remembered, "Dabao said she met me in Capital City; you were the one who brought her there. I’ve never heard Dabao mention she had any relatives in Capital City."

"Strictly speaking, not relatives. Dabao’s parents and mine knew each other from their youth and were close friends; Dabao and I have been exchanging letters for over ten years. Last time she mentioned she was going to Capital City full of hope to find someone, but returned disappointed. I was the one accompanying her during that time."

Tian Xiaobei’s eyebrows knitted tightly, "No wonder you insisted on asking me if I had a sweetheart, if I had a lady I wanted to marry. General’s nephew, you must be well-versed in the ways of officialdom, right? The words from officials are always half-true, half-false."

Long Aixi said with a smile, "No, I am not familiar with officialdom, I am a man of Jianghu, and we in Jianghu value sincerity."

"So, you also think like Dabao, that I betrayed the promise I made back then to marry her?"

"At least, if it were me, I wouldn’t say that. You might have your reasons, but Dabao has her own perspective. Regardless of who’s right or wrong, it just shows that your world isn’t suited for her, and you don’t understand hers. A forcibly twisted melon isn’t sweet; why insist on Dabao?"

Tian Xiaobei asked, "You’re saying all this because you like Dabao too, right?"

"Yes!" Long Aixi answered decisively.

"But back in the mountain shelter, Dabao herself promised to marry me someday. Even after knowing you for so long, she was willing to promise me, indicating she only saw you as family," Tian Xiaobei was certain.

"But then you broke her heart, proving she was wrong about the person from the start. There’s a saying that rings true, the best is always saved for last," Long Aixi seemed even more convinced.

Xia Dabao, having listened to all this, felt deeply unsettled.

She simply put down the sickle, "Enough, since you two are having such a pleasant chat, continue without me. Xiao’ai, I’ll head back to prepare lunch. Make sure you fill a basket."

"Okay, remember to stir-fry the smoked duck I brought," Long Aixi waved at Xia Dabao’s retreating figure.

Even though Xia Dabao didn’t respond, Long Aixi now clearly had the upper hand as he was the one who could stay at Xia Dabao’s home.
