Traveling through Thailand

Xiao Yi looked at them with satisfaction, very pleased with the T-shirts they were wearing. He was satisfied with Sky and the others' extremely childish clothes: "Are there no other styles?"

"No." Xiao Yi would never tell them that he wore this type of T-shirt on purpose.

Well, the same style of T-shirt with the White Rabbit pattern, but in different colors. Xiao Yi nodded secretly: It looks good, worthy of my careful selection, I have a great taste.

Sky frowned as he looked at the pattern on his T-shirt, then looked at Xiao Yi's plain black T-shirt: "Why are ours different from yours?"

"Because I like solid colors, I bought some solid colors for myself."

"Then why don't you prepare solid colors for us?"

"I thought this T-shirt was cute, so I brought it to you guys so it wouldn't sit in the back of your closet." Xiao Yi thought of the pile of cute T-shirts in all sorts of patterns, just gathering dust in his own closet. He didn't understand his mom's thinking. She didn't have a daughter, but she always bought cute prints every time she went shopping. Luckily, it was just T-shirts. If she'd bought something like a skirt... the thought of rows of T-shirts transformed into all sorts of skirts quickly made Xiao Yi banish that horrible thought from his mind.

"When did you buy this style of clothes? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"I got this from my old home. My mom loves buying these. Instead of letting it gather dust, I brought it to you as a spare."

"Is this why you didn't let us bring a change of clothes?" Sky recalled the look on Xiao Yi's face when they were talking about what to bring and he said seriously that he had packed all the spare clothes. He realized that he had thought of everything at that time.

"Yes."

Helplessly, they had to give up worrying about the cute issue of clothes: "Speaking of which, this mountain climbing was really thrilling. We were almost blown down by the hurricane several times." Thinking back to the several times when they were blown away by the hurricane and couldn't tell the route, if Xiao Yi hadn't pulled them up, they might have fainted in that corner.

"Yeah. Fortunately, Yi is here." Tai agreed with Sky's words. After all, he had experienced it himself.

"Thankfully, we succeeded. From now on, we won't have to suffer from hearing loss on rainy days and we won't have to be careful with our movements to avoid disturbing others."

"Well, Mr. Xiao Yi has a deep understanding of this."

Xiao Yi glanced at him helplessly: "Yeah, from today on I finally don't have to be a eavesdropper anymore."

"..." Tai was helpless about the fact that Xiao Yi always thought that he was the one who interfered. He said in person that it was not his fault, but the problem of sudden deafness. But Xiao Yi just wouldn't listen, always thinking that the little bud between them was nipped in the bud because of his interference. But he didn't think it was his fault. He didn't want to have too much contact with his soul mate in the first place. If it weren't for that accidental encounter, that person would really be on his mind. But he liked women and had a girlfriend. He didn't think he had the ability to turn people gay, so he and Phat were just friends now. Now that the soul mate relationship was over, his relationship with him would probably remain the same.

"Yi, Patts and I are really just friends. Besides, he likes women."

"???" Xiao Yi looked at him with a puzzled look: "Female?"

"Yeah." Tai hugged his knees dejectedly: "He has a girlfriend, so you don't have to feel guilty. There's no way between him and me."

"?? No, wait a minute, you said he has a girlfriend?" Xiao Yi had a cold face and a look of shock in his eyes.

Sky held the thermos and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Yi?"

Xiao Yi recalled a time when he took Doubao for a checkup and chatted with the people at the pet parlor. He had asked about their boss: "That's impossible. I remember them saying their boss is single now? Tai, are you mistaken? And when did you find out he had a girlfriend?"

Tai had a look on his face that said, "You didn't lie to me," and said, "It seemed like two years ago."

"..." Xiao Yi was speechless at his thinking. Two years was a long time, and anything could have happened in that time. After a long while, Xiao Yi continued, "Haven't you ever thought about this problem?"

"No. My relationship with him is just that of an ordinary friend. If you ask him about his personal matters..."

I get it, I'm just thin-skinned.

"Then how do you know he had a girlfriend?" Sky went straight to the point.

This made Tai, who was already thin-skinned, blush. "I...I...I heard it on a rainy day."

"Didn't he tell you that himself?"

Tai's mind was uncontrollably recalling the voice he heard that day, his face turning even redder. "No."

Seeing his face blush like that, Xiao Yi and Sky immediately understood. It was because of the sound of the man being intimate with his girlfriend that made him think he had found his other half.

Xiao Yi coughed and said, "Thank you for your hard work." It was free to hear that kind of voice that made one's blood boil.

"But I have a suggestion. If you have feelings for him, don't be shy and go for it. We've met a few times, and I've seen him look at you with eyes that almost teared my eyes. So I don't think your love is unrequited."

Tai looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief, and could tell from his serious eyes that he was not aimless.

"Really?"

"I swear, this is absolutely true. If you don't dare, I can help you arrange to ask him out, and you can hide somewhere else and listen."

"That's a good idea. Tai, if you're embarrassed, just let Yi go. He's thick-skinned."

Tai laughed at Sky's words, and the worry on his face faded a little.

"So this is what I am like in your eyes. It really hurts my heart."

"It's really disjointed to see someone with a paralyzed expression saying something aggrieved. Can you make the facial expression more normal?"

Xiao Yi touched his cheek and said, "I want to make an expression, but my facial muscles won't respond." He couldn't help but forget how to use his facial muscles after spending tens of thousands of years with a paralyzed face in his previous life. He practiced in front of the mirror for a long time to make his eyes look less distorted.

After resting for a while, Xiao Yi looked at Tai who was sitting quietly texting and asked, "Did you tell him you were going to climb the mountain today?"

Tai shook his head: "No."

The expected answer then changed the subject: "What do you think would happen if one soulmate successfully climbed the mountain and recovered from sudden deafness? Would they be rematched or would they also return to normal?"

"I don't know. I searched online but unfortunately, there's no explanation."

Xiao Yi touched his chin and said, "Why don't you send a message and ask? It's still raining now, see if he can hear the noise outside."

"This, this is not good."

"What's wrong with that? It's a good opportunity to see how he changes after hearing that you've returned to normal."

"Yeah, I agree."

Tai sent a message to Patts under their persuasion. Not long after sending it, a message came back.

Xiao Yi's gossipy eyes almost overflowed from his eyes: "How? What did you say?"

"He said that he called me several times but I didn't respond, and asked if I had done something wrong and that I was angry with him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi and the others suddenly felt very full.

"So he's still in a bound state."

"Could this symptom be the same as your previous condition?" Sky looked at Xiao Yi and asked.

Xiao Yi tapped his fingers. "Maybe. If I'm not mistaken, Tai, pick a time next time and go hiking with him. Otherwise, if he's matched with a new soul mate, you'll be at a huge loss."

"what?"

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yi nodded seriously: "Yes, that's what I am. And just in case, it's good to have some insurance. The most important thing is that I think he is a good match for you. If you break up because of this, I will think it's my fault. After all, it was me who asked you to come climb the mountain. If I don't ask you to come along, maybe after today, you can have some private conversations with him. Confiding your feelings to each other is the best way to quickly warm up your relationship.
