Chapter 62: Cherishing It Like a Treasure

  I admit that I didn't think it through and blame myself for my despicable idea. I shouldn't have taken advantage of XiXi, when she comes back, I'll apologize to her.

  Gu Xiao remained silent for a long time before speaking out, his head lowered, with a hint of tears in the corners of his eyes. He had been hesitant about whether to use Xia Xi's transfer of gaze as an excuse all along, and after hearing Lu Dongqi's ruthless scolding, he felt a pang in his heart.

  It's not that there were no other ways, but he was so infatuated that he thought and acted impulsively, despite being cautious and weighing every decision carefully from the moment he entered this circle. However, he still couldn't avoid being overwhelmed by the sudden fame, losing his rationality in the midst of it all.

  "You don't need to apologize to her, nor do you need to let her know that you had such thoughts. Although the future is important, you should also understand what things are worth giving up and what things are worth cherishing. After all, there's only one Xia Xi in this world."

  Lu Dongqi heard Gu Xiao's apology, his tone slightly softened. He realized that he had been a bit too excited just now and had said some excessive words. If he followed his usual style of handling things, he could have resolved the matter perfectly with tact. But once it involved Xia Xixi, he was like someone who had touched his bottom line, completely disregarding everything, including the fact that the person in front of him was Gu Xiao, whom he had grown up with and had feelings for that were not inferior to those for Xixi.

  Gu Xuan silently savored his words, indeed in this world there was only one Xia Xi, passionate and optimistic, straightforward and innocent, with no impurities in her clear eyes. Such a Xia Xi was so rare that he felt guilty for betraying her trust, almost tarnishing such pure friendship, but at the same time he was grateful to have Lu Dongqi, such a rational friend by his side, who made him stop himself before doing something wrong.

  Now, he doesn't dare confirm whether Lu Dongqi still regards him as a friend after seeing through his dark thoughts.

  Dong Qi let out a soft sigh and his hand heavily fell onto Gu Xiao's shoulder: "Gu Xiao, you're being too impatient"

  The disheartened young man forced a stiff and bitter smile, he had to admit that he was indeed too hasty, he had been suffering for too long, facing the opportunity in front of him with a mentality of grasping at a straw to save his life. So he took advantage of Fang Fei's praise for him, exaggerating the topic, and also wanted to use Xia Xi to shift the focus, **blinding his eyes, all he could see was success, fame**

  "Gu Xuan, you know I have nothing, can only rely on my own little cleverness to climb up, until standing on the edge of the cliff, swaying and about to fall, only then did I realize I took a wrong path. You and Xi Xi are my most treasured friends, can you forgive me?" Gu Xuan's words were sincere, his ashamed expression was able to show the true feelings in his heart, he didn't think his methods were wrong, just regretted trying to use them on Xi Xi, until Lu Dong Qi pointed it out to him, only then did he start to fear losing the friendship that was once most precious to him.

  "Alright, let's just pretend nothing ever happened." Dong Qi nodded and firmly grasped Gu Xuan's hand, "Xi Xi will be back soon, don't let her notice anything unusual."

  Although he said so, Lu Dongqi couldn't help but feel a rift in his friendship with Gu Xiao. The wound would heal, but it was inevitable that scars would be left behind. The scars would fade, but things would never be the same as before.

  It's okay, his girl can't see the imperfections behind this bright light, and she still innocently believes in the pure and carefree friendship. How he hopes she can stay innocent forever.

  Xia Xi returned with several cans of beer, still seeing Gu Xiao and Dong Qi's joyful scene of drinking and chatting. She heavily placed the beers on the table, panting and sitting down on the sofa, constantly fanning her face to wipe away sweat droplets, complaining about the sweltering weather.

  "You two are simply shameless and detestable, making a weak woman like me go buy beer on such a hot day"

  "The organization trusts you and thinks you're capable of great things, having the courage of a thousand men." Dong Qi teased her intentionally.

  "I am the number one heroic woman in the world, and you are not even worth mentioning, like ants or mice." Xia XiXi's face was full of arrogance.

  The beer she bought was only half drunk, and Lu Dongqi shouted at her to go back to school. XiXi glanced at her watch and found that she had unknowingly stayed in Gu Xuan's home for nearly half a day. She saw that although his face was somewhat pale, his mental state was still okay, so she put down her worries and left.

  Before leaving, he shook his arm vigorously, "Everything will be fine, tomorrow is another beautiful day, and there are thousands of girls lined up, waiting for you to offer their hearts with both hands."

  Xia Xi's witty remark made Gu Xiao burst out laughing, but she didn't notice that in the curved eyebrows and eyes of Gu Xiao's laughter, there was a hint of misty moisture.

  Two people sat in the bus on their way back to school, one in front of the other. The window was wide open and the warm wind blew directly into the bus. Lu Dongqi stared motionlessly at Xia Xixi sitting in front of him. The wind blew her hair in front of her forehead into a mess. She held her chin with her hand, gazing out the window at the scenery, a faint smile on her face. He slowly recalled what Gu Xiao had said before she went to buy wine.

  "You treasure her like a precious gem, yet why do you keep pushing her away? Dong Qi, have you ever thought that the one who hurts her the most is actually you? If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have ended up in someone else's arms, crying. You've stirred up so much trouble, yet you don't say anything, giving her hope time and time again, only to disappoint her. Do you really think that's good for her? There's only one Xia Xi Shi in this world, and if she leaves, she'll never come back."

  Lu Dongqi's gaze at Xia Xixi became complex, he truly felt his own cowardice for the first time. The once spoiled and naive little girl had grown into a beauty like Tingting, her smile was more charming and feminine, with a unique charm that women possess, although it was only scattered on her body, but it was enough to move people.

  Such a Xia Xi, made him familiar yet strange to her originally dry and slender figure, had the delicate curves belonging to young girls. When that soft waist, bright lips first appeared in his dreams, Lu Dongqi didn't dare look straight, yet couldn't move his eyes away, so much so that after waking up, he was filled with self-reproach.

  She is a pure pearl that cannot be tainted by even a speck of dust, a burning ember that is scorching hot. Such a good Xia Xi should be carefully placed and cherished with care, avoiding the vicissitudes of life. But now he can't make promises, doesn't have the courage to let her warmth melt his icy protective shell.

  So he stood at a distance, relying on her radiance, letting her shine brightly, silently watching over her.
