There were many people pestering the Golden Sands Beach in the Eastern Capital, but two uninvited guests had arrived at the Long family's residence. The hot and humid weather of early autumn could not stop their footsteps. From afar, they could hear a few extraordinary shouts,
" Sister, sister, I'm here to visit you…"
I'll follow the voice. Coincidentally, Long Xiangjue was at home. When he heard the voice and saw the figure, he was completely stunned.
" Ah, Juezi, you're here. I'm here to see your mother…"
The one who spoke was Shi Xinghai's mother. Shi Xinghai followed behind.
"You?" Long Xiangjue was full of suspicion.
Shi Xinghai smiled and raised the two chickens and ducks in his hands to show off. He said,"My mother and father asked me to come with her to see Auntie…"
" You..." Long Xiangjue was at a loss. She would never have thought that the mother and son, who were so aggressive a few days ago, would be so humble today. Why? What are you after? Seeing that it was the person he once liked, and the hatred he had for her, his heart was in a mess.
Only Shi Xinghai's mother knew what he was up to. Long Xiangjue was the flower of Chu Tian, a beauty that could topple cities. She was also a relative of the royal family. People strive for the higher ground, and water flows downwards. This was something that Shi Xinghai's mother, who had eaten ginger and salt for many years, knew very well. That day, after the flower boy Gao Shouren and Jin Xiaochuan escorted Long Xiangjue to the hospital, Shi Xinghai's mother gave him a good scolding and told him about the future of the Long family. She also told him many things that she had been hiding in her heart. Only then did Shi Xinghai see the light. After the general mobilization, Shi Xinghai could not reject his mother's kindness. After a few times of shyness, he made up his mind and chose a day to come to the Long family.
"Xiangjue, I know I was wrong.”Shi Xinghai smiled bashfully.
"Jue Zi, Xinghai did it unintentionally. Please forgive him. "Well, he bought chickens, ducks, and so on. He came to visit your mother to apologize to you…" Shi Xinghai's mother was straightforward.
" My…my mother is lying in the room…" Long Xiangyu was flustered and could not react in time. She could not adapt to their rhythm.
When Shi Xinghai's mother saw this, she was delighted. She thought that Long Xiangjue was still easy to deal with. With a smile on his face, his mouth was not idle." Juezi, it's fortunate that we have you at home. Sigh, I wonder how worried I am…" As she spoke, she did not stop in her tracks. She followed the sound and went into Madame Long's room.
"Hai Zai, come and greet your auntie!”Shi Xinghai's mother said pretentiously. As he leaned over to Madame Long's sickbed, he said with a pleasant expression,"Sister, I've wanted to visit you for a long time. You don't know what happened in the house. I was so busy that I couldn't get away.”
Madame Long bowed slightly and squeezed out a smile.""I've really troubled you. This really shouldn't have happened. I'm not seriously ill. I just can't get over the anger in my heart. I'll be fine after lying down. I've really troubled you.”
"Hai Zai, come here and apologize to your auntie!”Shi Xinghai's mother sat on the leather chair and called out to Shi Xinghai.
Shi Xinghai looked at Long Xiangjue's busy figure in a daze. When he heard his mother's cry, he came back to his senses and hurriedly walked over. He said with a fake smile,"Auntie, I was wrong. I came to apologize to you. Please forgive me. I must treat Xiangjue well in the future!”
Madame Long glanced at Shi Xinghai. She didn't have a good impression of him, but because his mother was here, she had to give them some face. She swallowed the words that were burning in her heart and said politely,"
"Galaxy, in the future or in the future, it's hard to say.”
Shi Xinghai's mother quickly came out to smooth things over and said with a smile,"Our sea cub is a reasonable person. Knowing how good Jue Zi was, she was especially concerned. The sea cub was stupid for a moment. Sister, tell me, when was there a time when you were young and when you were narrow-minded?! We are all people who have been through this before. We have to leave some space for the little ones. The road is long and the days are long. We can't be too calculative. If we are too calculative, we won't have a happy future.”
Long Xiangjue had no choice but to bring in two cups of Silver Mist Maojian Tea. He handed a cup to Shi Xinghai's mother. Shi Xinghai's mother couldn't help but admire Long Xiangjue's beauty. Long Xiangjue gritted his teeth and handed another cup to Shi Xinghai. He glared at Shi Xinghai fiercely before hurriedly retreating.
Shi Xinghai's mother laughed." Sis, you're lucky. It's also a blessing for your daughter to grow up like a flower. I'm the only one who doesn't have the blessing…"
"Don't say that. Your sea cub is a top student and knows how to make money. He's very lucky!”Madame Long focused all her attention on talking to Shi Xinghai's mother. His sallow face was suffused with a faint bitter smile. It was a polite smile, but it clearly showed the word distress.
" But our little Hai has offended your Jue Zi. He's really a fool. If he's really lucky, he'll break it himself. Sigh, he's really useless. He's been studying so hard that he's become a fool…" Shi Xinghai's mother sighed.
"It's our Jue 'er's bad luck. If he was, he wouldn't be laughed at.”Madame Long was angry. She had always looked down on the tanned and skinny Shi Xinghai. When she thought of Shi Xinghai's arrogant look earlier, she could not hold back the anger in her heart.
Shi Xinghai was observant and attentive. He took a sip of tea and smiled sinisterly."My mother and father are right. I foolishly offended Xiangjue, causing me to lose both ends. I can't study or earn money. I've suffered a huge loss…"
As he spoke, Shi Xinghai turned his head to look at the door, searching for Long Xiangjue's beautiful back.
Seeing this, Shi Xinghai's mother knew that her son still had a hard time falling in love with Long Xiangjue. She was still happy and quickly said,"Hai Zai, go talk to Jue Zi. I'll accompany my sister.”
" Yes..." Shi Xinghai was just about to agree when he heard Madam Long say," Our Xiangjue is going to Anping Club to help Ah Chuan later. Xinghai, don't disturb Xiangjue."”
Shi Xinghai opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time. Shi Xinghai's mother was the wiser one. She smiled and said,"It's only natural that Jue Zi helps her godbrother. Hai Zai, don't be idle. You should go with Jue Zi.”
Long Xiangjue didn't go far. He just stood stiffly outside Madame Long's bedroom. His heart was in a mess. He didn't know whether to leave or stay. He hesitated. Seeing Shi Xinghai walking towards him, he quickly avoided him.
However, he still couldn't avoid Shi Xinghai. Originally, Long Xiangjue wanted to hide in the Longyin Pavilion for a while. However, Long Xiangjue remembered that the Longyin Pavilion was the study room of his brother Long Anping. He could not let people like Shi Xinghai get close to it, so he hurriedly fled the Long family residence.

"If I had known this would happen, why did I do that?”
Long Xiangjue had to go to Badong's Ronin Jin Xiaochuan's Anping Association to help print documents, and because he wanted to avoid Shi Xinghai as soon as possible, he hurriedly fled the Long family's residence. Shi Xinghai remembered his mother's teachings and followed behind. He finally caught up to Long Xiangjue at a fork in the road.
"If I had known that you were heartless, I would have hardened my heart and said goodbye to you!”
Shi Xinghai laughed and said,""If I was heartless, I wouldn't have slapped my own face and your Long family's door…"
"You still have the face? Where is your face? When you were in trouble, I used my family's money to support you to go to college. When I was in trouble, you pushed me to death. You know, you almost killed me!”
Long Xiangjue was leaning against a big tree, expressionless. However, two clear tears rolled down her face.
The girl's heart softened. For some reason, Long Xiangjue was crying in front of Shi Xinghai. Shi Xinghai was shocked and felt guilty, but he didn't dare to wipe the tears off Long Xiangjue's face. Hesitating for a moment, Shi Xinghai said,"At that time, I was angry. I wasn't angry at you. I was angry at that Badong Ronin.”
"I've told you everything. In fact, you're afraid that my brother's case will implicate your family, so you're cutting off your emotions with your sword.!”
"Xiangjue, think about it. If it weren't for the Badong Ronin, would we have suffered? Would your brother and Princess Di encounter such a huge setback? Don't blame me, blame that Badong Ronin for causing trouble!”
"When I needed comfort the most, you came to destroy the bridge. Who do you think you're letting down by doing this?”
"Xiangjue, let me tell you clearly, I am resentful. Only I can understand this resentment!”Shi Xinghai broke off a leaf and held it in his hand, shaking it subconsciously.
" It's been a few years. You've changed just like that. You've let me see your true colors…" Long Xiangjue took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped away his tears.
Shi Xinghai put a leaf in his mouth. Although it tasted like wax, he seemed to be thinking about it as if he was repenting. The light from the mirror was directed at Long Xiangjue, and he said slowly,
"I didn't change at that time. I adjusted my mentality. Do you know that the Badong Ronin had been forcing me to give up on you and to ruin our relationship? I wanted to try and leave you for a while to see if we could really survive that period.”
"Tell me what Brother Ah Chuan is doing. Tell me!”Long Xiangjue was almost furious.
"Alright, I'll tell you!" Shi Xinghai frowned.”
Hence, under the setting sun and the grass trees, Shi Xinghai told them everything about how Badong Ronin Jin Xiaochuan had once used a dagger to force him to give up on Long Xiangjue.
There was such a thing?
Long Xiangjue felt like his head was about to explode. She never thought that Badong Ronin Jin Xiaochuan would be so infatuated with her. She never thought that her Brother Ah Chuan had once wanted to duel with Shi Xinghai.
Shi Xinghai spoke slowly, but Long Xiangjue was shocked. Two young men had almost lost their lives because of her. Was it love? Long Xiangjue didn't know, but her heart was in turmoil. The hatred in her heart was gradually weakening, but it didn't mean that there was no more hatred.
Long Xiangjue had always been in the dark. She vaguely felt that beauty was the cornerstone of love. She did not expect her beauty to trigger an earth-shattering story, and she unexpectedly became the protagonist of the story.
Galaxy, I don't hate you, but I will never love you again…"
Hearing this, Shi Xinghai was dumbfounded. He glared and said,"Xiangjue, the Badong Ronin's Dagger Dao didn't even shake my love for you. Why do you have to say such heartless words? Why bother?"
"Galaxy, your mother was not optimistic about our future, and you have always been obedient to your mother. Besides, you've been acting. Even if you act beautifully, can you make up for the crack in the mirror flawlessly? "You'd better go on your own way…" Long Xiangjue felt extremely sad.
"Xiangjue, my path will definitely be opened for you. You can reject my offer today, but I believe that sincerity can break metal and stone.”Shi Xinghai's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Long Xiangjue finally wiped away her tears and stopped choking. She forced herself to smile and said,"Before my brother got into trouble, I believed what you said. But today, I no longer believe you!”
" I believe that we will return to our past…"
"Do you believe that your heart can be cleansed?"
"My heart? Ha, my heart has been torn, not polluted…"
"Don't insinuate! You can't be compared to my Brother Ah Chuan!”Long Xiangjue was angered by Shi Xinghai's words for no reason. She suddenly thought of the scene where Jin Xiaochuan wanted to duel Shi Xinghai with a dagger.
"The Badong Ronin is pursuing you. Everything he does in silence is for you, I know. However, I will do everything for you, even more so than him!”Shi Xinghai suppressed his anger.
"Before my brother is released from prison, I won't get involved in the whirlpool of emotions again. Don't waste your time…" Long Xiangjue smiled bitterly.
"What are you talking about? My mother and father told me to wait. Yes, Xiangjue, I will listen to my mother and father. I will wait!”Shi Xinghai threw out the leaf in his hand. The branches and leaves drew an arc in the sky and disappeared into the grass.
" Xinghai, listen to your mother. I'm going, I..." Long Xiangjue felt that he couldn't delay any longer, but he was a little hesitant. He wanted to leave, but his footsteps were a little slow. He looked at Shi Xinghai hesitantly.
"Xiangjue, stay away from Badong Ronin…"
Looking at Long Xiangjue, who was finally moving forward, Shi Xinghai's heart skipped a beat. The pain in his heart quietly surged. It was not like waves, but it seemed to be moving like a river.
"I'm big, my wings are hard, and I can fly…"
Shi Xinghai muttered to himself as he turned around. He saw his mother walking over, seemingly happy. Shi Xinghai thought, looking at his mother's expression, what would be the result of talking to Long Xiangjue's mother?
