Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

The boat traveled on the water for three days and would reach its destination in another half day.

Chu Xi stood on the deck and looked into the distance, feeling very confused.

Thinking about my leaving without saying goodbye, I wonder how Yan Jingshuo would react.

It was all her fault for being too impulsive at the time, but she really didn't know how to face them.

She didn't have such a good mentality that she could calmly pretend that nothing had ever happened.

"Brother, this is what my grandma asked me to give you."

Ten-year-old Xiaojie shyly held up a steamed bun to Chu Xi.

"Thank you, Xiaojie. I've already eaten. You can keep it for yourself."

Chu Xi smiled and declined. Thanks to the aunt's care, Chu Xi didn't feel bored on the boat.

"Brother, what are you standing here looking at?"

Seeing Chu Xi staring blankly into the distance, Xiao Jie curiously looked in the direction she was looking. He saw a vast expanse of white water in the distance, with steep mountains on both sides, and a strange cry could be heard from time to time.

"Nothing, just thinking about someone." Chu Xi said with a smile.

"Missing someone? Is that person important to you, brother?"

Seeing that Chu Xi looked a bit depressed and sad, Xiao Jie wondered if this person was very important to Chu Xi.

“Very important”

Chu Xi thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"So he is the one my brother likes?"

When Chu Xi heard what Xiao Jie said, he turned to look at him in surprise:

"How do you know he's the one my brother likes?"

"Guess."

Xiaojie spoke wittily.

"Your guess is correct then."

"Yeah, I'm very smart, I guessed it right at once."

Xiaojie jumped up happily.

"Yes, you are a very smart kid."

Chu Xi shook his head helplessly.

A little brat is a little brat. He can be so happy with just a word of praise.

"If my brother likes him, why doesn't he stay with him?"

"Xiao Jie, your question is a bit complicated. If you like someone, you don't necessarily have to be together. The best outcome is for both of you to be well."

"How do you know you can't be together if you don't try? I don't think the problem is complicated, it's that you think too complicatedly."

"Is it complicated? Xiaojie, you are still too young. There are some things that you won't understand even if I tell you now. When you grow up, maybe you will find the answers yourself."

Chu Xi touched Xiao Jie's head and said sadly.

"Okay, I don't understand. You adults all have very long brain circuits. You always think of simple problems as super...super complicated."

Xiao Jie opened his arms and gestured exaggeratedly to Chu Xi. He really didn’t understand what was so complicated about liking something. Anyway, if he liked something, he would do everything he could to keep it by his side and never leave it.

For example, he loves the puppy he rescued before very much. Before getting on the boat, his grandmother would help him put the puppy in a basket and take it with him. She would not abandon it just because he is leaving his hometown.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie suddenly remembered that he hadn't fed the puppy yet today. So he turned to Chu Xi and said:

"Brother, my puppy must be hungry. I have to go feed it."

Xiaojie said and ran away quickly.

"Okay, slow down. Running on a boat is very dangerous."

Chu Xi looked at Xiao Jie's back as he ran away, and suddenly felt that it was great to be a child, innocent, lively and cute, without so many worries.

"Master, I think what Xiaojie said makes sense."

As soon as Xiaojie left, the Fire Cloud Bracelet started jumping around in Chu Xi's mind again.

Chu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "How does it make sense?"

"You just think it's a bit complicated."

"Is it complicated? But I really can't accept all this so calmly."

"Master, you are still too kind. In fact, when I brought you to this body, the original Chu Xi had already died. You are helping her to continue her life in another way. There is nothing wrong with that."

"Fire Cloud Bracelet, you don't have to comfort me. I don't mean to blame you. I'm just... just angry.

You let me live again, I can't thank you enough, how can I blame you. Fire Cloud Bracelet, you are my life-saving bracelet. "

Chu Xi interrupted Huoyun Bracelet and hurriedly explained, fearing that Huoyun Bracelet would feel guilty.

"So you're mad at the mobile drug depot?"

"I don't know whether I'm angry with him or myself. I just suddenly want to escape from it all... find a place where no one is around to calm myself down and just be the real Chu Xi for a while."

Chu Xi looked into the distance sadly, tears unconsciously sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

In this strange ancient time, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart, and she suddenly missed the days of being a social animal in modern times.

Seeing Chu Xi so depressed, the Fire Cloud Bracelet was silent for a moment before a voice slowly rang in his mind:

"Since the master feels tired, the Fire Cloud Bracelet will accompany the master to leave and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of this era. Master, please rest assured that the Fire Cloud Bracelet will always be with you."

"Thank you, Fire Cloud Bracelet."

"Master, you are too polite. We are soul mates."

Chu Xi was stunned at first, then burst out laughing:

"Fire Cloud Bracelet, where did you learn these words?"

"Isn't it? This word represents the highest level among partners."

The Fire Cloud Bracelet's voice was filled with doubt. Could it be that it had understood it wrongly?

“It’s the highest level of representation, but it’s the highest level of representation among couples, not the representation of partners.”

"Then I really misunderstood."

Chu Xi shook his head: "It's not that I misunderstood. After all, you are communicating with me through souls, which is the highest level of communication."

"So, we are still soul mates?"

When Huoyun Bracelet said this, there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Yes, you are the highest-level partner, and this position must belong to the Fire Cloud Bracelet."

Chu Xi agreed with a doting smile.

"The master is also the most important companion of the Fire Cloud Bracelet."

Chu Xi was moved to tears: "Thank you, Fire Cloud Bracelet."

"Master, you have said this so many times that I am almost tired of hearing it."

At this time, the voice of the Fire Cloud Bracelet sounded a little more impatient.

"Okay, I won't say anything." Chu Xi could only shut up.

"Master, since we have already reached the border of the Southern Kingdom, why don't we go find that stupid bug first?"

The Fire Cloud Bracelet missed the Holy Gu. When the Holy Gu was around, the Fire Cloud Bracelet often quarreled with it so that it would not feel too bored.

During this period when the Holy Gu was not around, the Fire Cloud Bracelet could not find any other insect to communicate with except Chu Xi, which made it feel very depressed.

"Oh, yes. The little snow bug is still in Nangong Yu's hands. I wonder if it is okay now?"

When Huoyun Bracelet said this, Chu Xi remembered the Holy Gu. There was no way, this guy always liked to hide it.

"Then let's go look for it first after we get off the boat?"

"That's fine, but I don't know where to go to find it after getting off the boat here."

Chu Xi was depressed because she was a person with poor sense of direction and didn't know the way.

"After we get off the boat, let's go ask where the capital of the Southern Kingdom is."

Huoyun Bracelet held his forehead with his hand and said, "How dare you run around without knowing the way? What a mess."

The boat quickly docked.

"We're docked, we're docked... Take your luggage and you can get off the boat."

The boatman yelled at him rudely.

Chu Xi and Shaoyao hurriedly got off the boat, and the aunt and Xiaojie followed them.

“Mother…mother…this…this…”

A middle-aged man with dark skin and a sturdy build waved at Chu Xi and the others. Next to the man stood a woman with not too delicate features, who was also looking at them eagerly.

“Miss, are they calling us?

Shaoyao followed Chu Xi and asked her in a low voice.

"Silly boy, when did you give birth to a dark, big child this old?"

Chu Xi nodded Shaoyao's wooden head speechlessly.

"But... they did wave at us enthusiastically and called us... mother."

Shaoyao retorted, covering her forehead.

Chu Xi also looked at them strangely, wondering why these two people greeted them so enthusiastically.
