"Sister, you are not mistaken. They are indeed the same person." Xiaoyu emphasized anxiously, her eyes full of certainty.

"But I..." Jiaojiao frowned slightly and bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Her expression showed deep hesitation and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Sister, let's not beat around the bush." ​​Xiao Yu was anxious and pointed out the key point directly, "Just tell me honestly, do you have any romantic feelings for Donghua?"

Jiaojiao's cheeks flushed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she confessed, "Well, there is a little bit. Just a little bit, even I'm not sure."

"That's it!" Xiaoyu is a system, and her emotional algorithm is simple and direct. It is really difficult for her to understand the complex emotions of humans. "Sister, what are you still struggling about? If you like it, just go for it!"

Jiaojiao sighed helplessly, her eyes full of entanglement and confusion, and she slowly said: "Xiaoyu, you don't understand, the feelings in this world are not so simple and pure. Although I have a little affection for Donghua, his two completely different identities are like a thick fog, lying in my heart, making me unable to see clearly, let alone dare to move forward rashly."

Xiaoyu tilted her head and tried to analyze Jiaojiao's complex emotional logic with the program, but she couldn't understand it after all. She said with a confused look on her face: "Sister, no matter what identity he shows himself in, isn't he essentially the same person? Since you have him in your heart, what's wrong with taking that step bravely?"

Jiaojiao smiled bitterly and shook her head, a trace of worry in her eyes: "I'm scared, Xiaoyu. I'm afraid that this budding relationship is just my wishful thinking. I'm even more afraid that behind these two identities, there are secrets that I can't bear. Once I take this step, I have no idea what will happen in the future, and my heart is really filled with fear."

Xiaoyu blinked her eyes, trying to imitate the empathy of a human, and tried to comfort her: "Sister, love requires some courage. If you keep looking back and forth and hesitating, you might really miss the opportunity and leave regrets."

Jiaojiao was silent for a long time. The gentle breeze blew past quietly, ruffling her hair, as if trying to sort out the myriad of thoughts in her heart. Finally, she slowly raised her head, a trace of determination gradually emerged in her eyes, and she said softly: "Maybe you are right, Xiaoyu. I shouldn't be so cowardly anymore. I should give myself a chance, and also give this ignorant feeling a chance."

In Jiaojiao's sea of ​​consciousness, Jiaojiao and Xiaoyu stood side by side, immersed in this conversation that went deep into their souls. The surroundings were silent, with only their whispers echoing in the air, as if time had slowed down for this conversation of the soul. Every word, every sigh, was like a stone thrown into the lake of the heart, creating ripples.

However, in the eyes of Donghua who was not far away, all this was presented in a completely different way. The space he was in seemed to have a subtle time and space difference from where they were. In his perception, Jiaojiao was only slightly stunned for a moment.

"Can you tell me what you think?" Donghua finally couldn't hold back his inner urgency. He gently moved to Jiaojiao's front, and gently held Jiaojiao's shoulders with his slender and powerful hands, as if he was afraid of disturbing her. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes focused and ardent, staring straight into Jiaojiao's eyes, which were full of endless expectations, as if he could see through Jiaojiao's most secret thoughts in this glance, waiting for her to give the answer that would determine their future. His voice was low and magnetic, as if it flowed from the sound of an ancient zither, echoing leisurely in this quiet fairyland, gently tapping Jiaojiao's heartstrings.

"I don't know, can you let me think about it?" Jiaojiao slowly raised her head, her eyes full of seriousness and sincerity. Her clear eyes, like a deep pool, were now flashing with the light of thought, as if trying to find a way out of the complicated emotional maze. Her voice was soft, but it seemed to contain a thousand pounds of power. Every word was clear and firm, like a rock, expressing that she needed time to sort out the tangled emotions in her heart.

"Don't you have a little bit of affection for me?" Donghua's eyes dimmed instantly, just like the bright stars in the night sky, which were suddenly covered by thick dark clouds and lost all their brilliance in an instant. The feeling of loss and bitterness, like a surging tide, spread wantonly in his eyes. He lowered his head slightly, and his back, which was always straight on weekdays, was slightly bent at this moment, as if carrying an endless weight. He tried to cover up the loss in his heart that was surging like a tide with his drooping hair, but the slightly trembling corners of his mouth still inadvertently revealed his sadness and pain at the moment.

"Is it because our names are not together on the Three Lives Stone?" Donghua slowly raised his head, his eyes full of loneliness and deep doubt. His voice was a little hoarse, as if every word had been polished by sand and stone, revealing an indescribable vicissitude and helplessness. The Three Lives Stone, which was said to carry the fate of marriage in the world, was like a cold and sharp blade, piercing his heart mercilessly. This question seemed to be the deepest fear in his heart, and he finally couldn't help blurting it out at this moment. In this silent fairyland, it seemed particularly heavy and desolate.
