To be honest, that's really the case.
Although she could still clearly remember every single meeting she had with Ye Xiao, as it was a scene that played out repeatedly in her dreams every night—
The player convention was the first one, and at that time she didn't pay much attention to this swordsman with his gloomy clothes and messy hair;
When it came to the academy selection, this guy deliberately lost to her in an act, but later, she heard that he had defeated Princess Femishiel of Aslan, who was known as the High Mountain Sword Maiden. From then on, Ye Xiao made her feel a little curious.
Then, at Samuel's Clinic outside the capital, she was in grave danger when Ye Xiao suddenly appeared and rescued her and another girl in distress. Even then, she was only amazed by Ye Xiao's strength. Although she was grateful to him for saving her, she couldn't help but remain vigilant due to her confusion about being in another world.
Until the very last time, at the Samuel's Hermitage stronghold in the imperial city, during the initiation ritual of slaughter, Ye Xiao, in order to avoid a life-or-death struggle with her, willingly sacrificed himself and fell into her arms...
Although it now seems like she was just faking her death, given the strength Ye Xiao had shown, if he really wanted to, killing her and infiltrating the Samuel Hermitage would have been a piece of cake. Why go through all that trouble?
It can be said that I was always being taken care of by the other party, and I was always saved from danger.
But from the other person's perspective, there really isn't anything about me that's likable.
The coldness at their first meeting, the accidental injury during the academy selection despite knowing it was all an act, the sour face he put on after being rescued at the clinic and refused his friend's request, the killing ritual and only realizing he had fallen into someone else's trap after the other's death...
Ah, thinking about it now, I realize how hopelessly stupid I am.
Just like Ye Xiao said, in reality, did she ever really bring anything to the other person? Did she ever spend any time with them?
Even if she went to Valen to seek the resurrection ritual and the Fountain of Youth, it would only be wishful thinking on her part. Ye Xiao didn't actually need to do any of these things, did he?
Yes, Ye Xiao doesn't need her at all.
She said she was reminiscing about the past, but it was really just about her own past. As for Ye Xiao's past, whether she was there or not was completely unimportant.
The Holy Maiden, Her Majesty the Queen of Loren, and even this cat have spent far more time with Ye Xiao and experienced far more with him than she has, and are far more qualified than her.
The Holy Maiden took pity on her and showed her compassion, which is why she was allowed to meet Ye Xiao. But how could she possibly presume to possess the Holy Maiden's love because of this?
As she thought about it, tears welled up in Su Xiyun's eyes. She loosened her grip, and her fair face revealed an unconcealable sense of loss and sorrow.
Even more, the kitten's unrestrained laughter could be heard in her ears, "Cry, cry! This is the consequence of liking a jerk, hahaha!"
Ye Xiao immediately patted Greta's soft little head, "But Miss Su, even under these circumstances, we still managed to meet so many times. Doesn't that just prove that we are destined to be together?"
"A foundation of affection can be cultivated, but fate is rare."
Su Xiyun's gradually dimming gaze paused for a moment.
"Nonsense! It's one thing to crave sex, but how can you even use that kind of argument?!"
The chubby kitten got angry and jumped up, pouncing on Ye Xiao's head.
"Ahem, just kidding. I just noticed that you seemed a bit down, Miss Su, so I was trying to lighten the mood."
Ye Xiao chuckled as he grabbed the restless Greta and rolled her into a ball.
"However, the principle is still the same. In my opinion, Miss Su, if you really have some feelings for me, whether it is true or a misunderstanding, we can see it clearly in time."
Aside from Su Xiyun, this was also Ye Xiao's thought about himself.
From a purely romantic perspective, he couldn't really say he liked Su Xiyun. However, seeing her risk her life for him because of a misunderstanding, he couldn't help but feel guilty and wanted to make amends.
But love is something that a young girl doesn't know what requirements she has. Anyway, for him, a grown man, according to his good friend Li Cheng, "If you can find someone you like, that's a golden opportunity. As for what happens next, we'll talk about that later."
Having made amends for her guilt, Ye Xiao wouldn't dare say that she had fallen absolutely in love with Su Xiyun, but it was perfectly reasonable for her to get to know her better and explore their feelings.
"Similarly, Miss Su, I feel the same way about you. As things stand, I don't know much about you yet, but after everything we've been through, I feel very willing to learn everything about you."
"Our several encounters may be a harbinger of fate. I cherish this opportunity, Miss Su. What do you think?"
Su Xiyun felt a little confused by Ye Xiao's words. She roughly understood what Ye Xiao meant, but she also felt that something was amiss.
"I feel like I've heard your sales pitch somewhere before!"
Greta pouted, "You said the same thing to Skadi, didn't you? You're far too skilled at abducting young girls. We shouldn't have let the Royal Police let you slip through the net!"
"Oh, you don't understand. Sincere feelings are always similar, but that's not important. What's important is sincerity."
Ye Xiao shamelessly rubbed the little guy's cheek, while secretly glancing at Su Qianyun's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
"So that means... I still have a chance?"
The girl asked cautiously.
"Forget about opportunities, Miss Su, you don't need to be so humble in your relationship. Just be as arrogant as this guy."
Ye Xiao grabbed Greta's two front paws and waved them at Susie Yun, causing the kitten's belly to jiggle along with her. "It's my honor that a girl like you is willing to get to know me."
“I understand that a lot has happened these past few days, Miss Su, but there’s no need to worry about it.”
"The past is not important. For me, now, I want to explore a bright future with you."
As Ye Xiao's words echoed in her ears, Su Qianyun's pretty face flushed.
She nodded slightly, then her gaze fell upon Ye Xiao's outstretched hand.
"So, Miss Su, what do you think?"
Almost without hesitation, Susie grabbed that hand again, this time even tighter, as if she had made up her mind.
Sunlight fell on the girl's cheeks, and the warm winter breeze swept away the tears in her eyes. The surrounding trees rustled, like an ancient murmur.
"Then please guide me from now on, Miss Su."
Ye Xiao smiled.
The girl smiled; this was perhaps the most reassuring moment she had experienced in many days.
"Ok!"
【Orange Orange: (*?'╰╯`?)?】
Chapter 200 Big Family
In the park, the two strolled along the lake.
Compared to the ups and downs before, things became much more peaceful and pleasant afterwards.
Susie Yun and Ye Xiao talked for a long time, from their story of time travel to the present day to their experiences before time travel.
Ye Xiao learned that this girl came from a very wealthy family on Earth, but she was also surprisingly a homebody, which is why she got into the game and accidentally entered this other world.
She received a relatively strict education from a young age, even having a private tutor to instruct her in etiquette. Her parents didn't have many requirements regarding her daily entertainment at home, but they strictly controlled her social relationships. Perhaps this is why she appears somewhat aloof.
When Ye Xiao asked Su Xiyun about her future plans, unsurprisingly, she naturally hoped to stay with the Seven Stars Society and embark on a journey with Ye Xiao and the others.
Afterwards, it was noon, and Ye Xiao and Su Xiyun parted ways temporarily. Su Xiyun then went to find Ella in a corner of a dessert shop outside the central park, as agreed with her.
"So, Miss Su, have you gotten over it after meeting with Ye Xiao?"
Seeing Susie Yun enter from the door, Ella waved and then asked with a slightly sly look.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I feel much better..."
Susie bowed gratefully. It was all thanks to Ella's help that the gloom that had been hanging over her heart for the past few days seemed to have been swept away.
"It's no trouble at all."
Ella got up and led Susie Yun to sit down at the table.
"However... Your Excellency, Mr. Ye said that you are his... his lover. Is it alright for me to spend time with Mr. Ye like this in the future?"
Susie thanked Ella for her kindness, but finally asked the question that had been troubling her.
Although Ye Xiao accepted her, just like Greta's awkward attitude, Ye Xiao's partners might not be happy to have an unfamiliar person in their relationship.
The Holy Maiden arranged for her to meet Ye Xiao out of kindness, but she took the opportunity to develop a closer relationship with Ye Xiao. From both a moral and logical standpoint, this seems a bit unethical according to Su Xiyun's values.
So when she met Ella, she honestly confessed that while she was in love with Ye Xiao, she did not want to disrupt Ye Xiao's original relationships with others.
"What are you talking about?"
Ella's little paw gently stroked the back of Susie Yun's hand along her slender, fair fingers. "Of course, I accepted you first before I let you meet Ye Xiao."
"Uh?"
Susie Yun looked confused.
“However, your concerns are not unfounded... I am glad that you, Miss Su, are so sincere in discussing this issue with me.”
Ella's bright red eyes couldn't help but reveal her infatuation with the girl's beauty, and her pink tongue quietly licked the corner of her mouth.
It's strange, when Ye Xiaoshi was around Su Xiyun, he mainly admired her, but when it came to Ella, he couldn't help but want to rush over and hug this pitiful and well-behaved girl tightly.
The same goes for Skadi and Greta; as Ella, she always seemed to have an unusually strong urge to touch them inappropriately.
Ella was completely baffled. Could it be that her resistance to pretty girls was even lower than Ye Xiao's? But that was just too strange.
“I… I should, Your Majesty.”
Susie Yun didn't notice Ella's sly gaze, which seemed to be observing a small animal falling into her palm, and remained grateful.
“I would be happy to accept a well-behaved child like you. However, what you just said is indeed a problem, so I plan to take you to meet the other two as well, so you can get to know everyone.”
"Ah...is that so?"
Susie Yun suddenly felt a little nervous, as if she were going to meet the parents. "Do I need to prepare some gifts or something?"
"No need to be so polite, but could you tell them about your situation?"
Ella affectionately patted Susie Yun's hand.
Susie Yun thought for a moment and then replied, "That's no problem, but I hope everyone can keep it a secret for me. I'm afraid Mr. Ye might develop a grudge because of it..."
"It will not."
As Ella spoke, she leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Susie Yun's face, and brushed aside the other's soft hair with one hand, her fingertips intentionally or unintentionally caressing the swan-like neck as white as jade. "I assure you, I've been with him for so long, I know him very well."
"Well……"
Susie Yun blushed even more at Ella's intimate gesture.
Upon seeing the saintess's flawless and gentle face up close, her gaze was involuntarily drawn to her alluring crimson eyes.
A faint jasmine scent wafted in like an evening breeze with the warm breath, and the light touch of the other person's fingertips on her cheek made her feel a little itchy.
The atmosphere seemed to become somewhat romantic.
It must be said that the saintess's appearance was truly stunning. It was the first time Su Xiyun had ever felt so overwhelmed by the beauty of another woman.
"I...I'll find another opportunity to tell him later..."
Su Xiyun's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz; she didn't know why she was so shy.
"Ok."
Ella looked at the obedient girl and smiled indulgently. These things really couldn't be rushed. So she flicked her finger and opened a spatial portal next to her. "Then let's go meet them first."
……
The Imperial Palace Study in the Royal City of Loren.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on the blonde girl who was writing furiously at her desk.
This is the young Queen Skadi who is currently in power.
A subtle fluctuation suddenly appeared in the air beside her, and subconsciously, the girl turned her head to look at the opened spatial portal.
Because Ella has appeared in this way so many times, Skadi has started to get used to it.
However, this time was different from before. A tall girl with long black hair walked out of the portal first. She looked around in confusion, and when she saw Skadi, she bowed slightly and smiled at her very reservedly.
Then, the wicked woman with the cunning smile followed behind the black-haired girl and poked her head out of the portal.
"Oh, Your Majesty, you're busy again today."
Skadi rubbed her temples. "Sister Ella, is something the matter?"
"That's great news! That's great news!"
Ella nimbly hopped out of the portal, suddenly wrapping her arm around Susie Yun's waist from behind with one hand, while interlocking her fingers with Susie's with the other's. She raised her hand and waved to Skadi, "Let me introduce you, this is Miss Susie Yun. Our big family has gained another little sister."
Skadi was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Ella meant.
After a long pause, she finally opened her wide, lake-blue eyes, her lips twitching, and exclaimed, "...Huh!?"
Chapter 201 The Way of Harmony
"And this is Skadi. Ye Xiao has probably already told you about her, but she should be a little younger than you..."
