Chapter 317: We Are Lovers

Inside the room, silence fell.

After Bai Daxiaojie asked this question, Luo Zijun also suddenly asked himself in secret: Is there?

Of course.

He answered himself secretly in his heart.

But thinking about it carefully, it seemed a bit strange, as if this answer had long been carved into his bones.

He had never seriously thought about it, but it seemed to be a matter of course.

Just like his elder sister and brother-in-law; he had never seriously thought about whether they were truly his sister and brother-in-law, but without a doubt, they certainly were!

Some things seem destined long ago, and are also a matter of course.

There is no need for a reason.

However, there is naturally a reason as well.

That girl...

Alright, there really is nothing to say.

He admitted that from childhood to adulthood, and even until now, he had lived in her shadow, unable to break free.

Of course, there was no need to break free either.

After all, that shadow was filled with nothing but love.

"Your senior sister?"

At this moment, Bai Daxiaojie spoke up.

Luo Zijun spread his hands: "Daxiaojie must have misunderstood; the relationship between my senior sister and me is even more innocent than my relationship with Qingtong."

The handprint had not yet been pressed, so naturally, one could not speak recklessly.

Bai Daxiaojie stared at him for a while longer, said nothing more, and actually lowered her head directly to press her handprint onto the Letter of Divorce.

"Now, can you tell me?"

Bai Daxiaojie picked up the Letter of Divorce with the handprint on the table and handed it to him.

Luo Zijun hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "Yes."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand.

Bai Daxiaojie, however, suddenly took the Letter of Divorce back and said: "I don't agree."

Luo Zijun's outstretched hand stiffened.

"At the very least, you should let her come over herself to tell me, and apologize to me while she's at it."

Bai Daxiaojie added.

Luo Zijun withdrew his hand, fell silent for a moment, and said: "She won't come."

"Why? You two conspired to deceive me, to deceive our Bai Family; shouldn't she come over to apologize?"

Bai Daxiaojie asked.

Luo Zijun lowered his head and said nothing.

"Alright, perhaps she thinks I am the third party who ruined your relationship, and it is I who should apologize to her, is that it?"

Luo Zijun said: "No."

He did not linger any longer, cupped his hands in a salute: "It is getting late, Daxiaojie should rest early, I am heading back."

Since he could not get the Letter of Divorce today, there was no point in staying here any longer.

He did not want to talk about his senior sister with others.

His senior sister did not lie, nor did she conspire with him; it was all his own fault, as their family of three had been at their wit's end when they first arrived here.

"Creak..."

The door opened, and he walked out.

Outside, night had already fallen, a full moon rose into the night sky, and a few stars were hazy and dim, as if they had just woken up and had only just opened their eyes.

Returning to Junzi Residence, he pondered for a while longer, preparing to cultivate.

At this moment, Bai Bai suddenly called out from the courtyard outside: "Zijun-gege..."

Luo Zijun got up, went over to push open the window, and looked at the young girl in the courtyard: "What is it?"

Qingqing was hugging her sword, leaning against the small gate, her gaze also looking at him coldly.

Bai Bai stepped onto the corridor, arrived outside the window, handed him an envelope, and said: "This is for you from Miss."

"What is this?"

Luo Zijun was startled and reached out to take it.

Bai Bai shook her head: "Bai Bai doesn't know either."

Luo Zijun felt puzzled and opened the envelope; inside were two folded sheets of rice paper.

He opened one first, fixed his eyes on it, and saw that at the very top, it was shockingly written with the two characters "Letter of Divorce"!

"Letter of Divorce?"

He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly looked closely at the text below.

Then, he looked at the signature at the very bottom.

It was the very same Letter of Divorce from just a moment ago!

At the same time, the three characters "Bai Meixue" in the signature at the bottom were clearly pressed with a handprint!

Luo Zijun was both pleasantly surprised and puzzled; how did Bai Daxiaojie suddenly figure it out?

He hurriedly unfolded the second sheet of rice paper.

On the paper, a single sentence was written simply and plainly, the tone as calm and indifferent as Bai Daxiaojie usually was: From now on, you and I have no further connection, and there is no need to meet again.

There was only this one sentence.

Luo Zijun stared blankly at these words, then looked again at the Letter of Divorce; for a moment, a complex emotion of melancholy and guilt welled up in his heart.

"Brother Zijun, what did the young miss write?"

Bai Bai opened her pair of innocent, guileless eyes and asked curiously from outside the window.

Luo Zijun was dazed for a moment, put away the two sheets of paper in his hands, and said, "It's nothing, Bai Bai. Thank the eldest young miss on my behalf. Also, tell her that I will go to pay my respects to her tomorrow night."

"Oh..."

Bai Bai let out an "oh," but did not leave immediately. Her innocent, guileless eyes blinked, she fidgeted, and she said in a shy, low voice, "Brother Zijun, do you still remember what you promised Bai Bai before? Tonight... Bai Bai wants... wants to play with Brother Zijun, and Qingqing too..."

Luo Zijun looked at her silly appearance, could not help but sigh, reached out to rub her little head, and said, "Next time. I am a bit tired these past few days."

"Oh..."

Bai Bai was somewhat disappointed and left with her little mouth pouting.

Luo Zijun watched her petite back disappear into the small door and could not help but think to himself: The eldest young miss has already divorced me; what should become of the few of them?

After letting his thoughts run wild like this for a while, he no longer had the heart to cultivate.

At the third watch.

He performed Soul Out-of-Body and came to the back garden.

Just like in the past, he waited for a long time at the entrance again. Seeing that the figure still did not appear, he finally sighed, opened the entrance, and entered the Diyuan alone.
