Wrapping her arms tightly around the silvery fox, Di Xiao Wanâs eyes were full of pain when looking down at the unmoving fella: âDonât worry State Teacher, I will definitely find you again after twenty years! No one can separate us.... So, until we meet again, you mustnât let any other female near you, I wonât lose my position as your wife to someone else. You must wait for me.â
Her crying voice spread into the night, making Bai Yanâs heart feel extremely heavy. However, the demon queen did not continue her consoling words though like before, only patting her friend on the shoulder in silence. She knows, whatever word she utters would be pointless.
Understanding the support, Di Xiao Wan wiped the tears from her eyes and forced a pitiful smile that wouldnât fool anyone: âIâm okay now Sister-in-law, letâs go back. Iâm afraid State Teacher will be cold...â
âXiao Wan...â Bai Yan murmurs, her voice croaking like sheâs also about to tear up.
âDid you see Sister-in-law? State Teacher didnât revert back to his fox form right away. Heâs probably worried about me being tired from carry him, thatâs why he did so just now, heâs looking out for me.â
Bai Yanâs mouth visibly twitched at that idea. State Teacher is already dead, how can he know when to control his body?
Of course, she could not say this sentence aloud, only silently murmuring that in the heart as she hugged the grieving girl from the side in support. âYes, State Teacher is always looking out for you. Maybe he will even remember everything once you go meet him again in twenty years...â
Showing a sad face again at the mention of their separation: âMmm, I will take good care of myself, I wonât make State Teacher worry. Sister-in-law, letâs go back to the palace, I want to send him off myself...â
The demon princess knows this might be their last time together, even so, she wonât give up. So what if thereâs a high chance that her husband-to-be wonât remember her in the new incarnation? She wonât give up!
âJin Tian, Ling Yan, come help your auntie.â Bai Yan tells her twins.
âOkay,â itâs the peachy baby girl who spoke first and led the way by holding onto the princessâs hand, âAuntie, donât be sad, Ling Yan will accompany you home.â
âAuntie Auntie,â the little glutton quickly got the hint and follows up in his own way using that baby fat smile of his, âUncle is only sleeping, he will wake up after a good rest. Donât worry, I will protect you until he does, okay?â
Those warming words actually brought some light into Di Xiao Wanâs colorless world. Nodding slightly with her head as confirmation: âMmm, auntie here will wait for your uncle, no matter the years, I will wait!â
Looking at the three slowly moving figures, Bai Yan promptly casts her gaze down over to the two older kids.
âXiachen, Dragony, those two are too young and can only act cute before your aunt. In the future you two must pay more closer attention less she does anything silly, otherwise I canât feel at ease.â
The steambun nodded seriously: âDonât worry mother, I will keep a close eye on Auntie during this period. You and Baddie Father can go off and find the murderer, we must avenge State Teacherâs death!â
Although Bai Xiachen didnât have a lot of contact with that kind and gentle man, thus leaving a thin impression; however, that doesnât mean he couldnât relate to his aunt losing the man she loves. Thatâs family they just lost!
