The faint white smoke floating in the room was not choking, but instead exuded a faint fragrance that reminded people of the early morning forest.
The two people were obviously sitting opposite each other, but there was no sound of speaking in the room.
Shirin looked slightly different from usual. She took off her glasses, tied up her long hair, and put on a moon-white robe. She looked mature and elegant.
With gentle and silent movements, she expertly prepared the secret elf tea in her hand.
He seemed to be concentrating, using all his energy on the preparation, forgetting everything around him.
Jiang Wan lowered her head and looked at her reflection in the amber tea liquid in the cup, as if there was some treasure in it.
This scene has been going on since entering the door.
To Jiang Wan's surprise, Xilin did not delay opening the door for a long time like before.
Instead, as if he had already prepared to see her, the door opened automatically before knocking on the door, actively inviting her to walk in.
The automatically extending carpet led Jiang Wan slowly through the grand corridor that symbolized Shilin's legendary road, and guided her to sit down at Shilin's table.
When their eyes met, Shilin was not panicked or nervous. Instead, she nodded gently and motioned Jiang Wan to sit down with her eyes.
Jiang Wan, on the other hand, is different from the playful person she usually behaves in front of Ning Bao. She looks calm and serious.
The two of them did not interfere with each other and maintained a delicate balance.
However, despite this "stalemate", Jiang Wan did not feel embarrassed.
There is no pressing pressure in the space, and there is no tense atmosphere in the air. The peaceful atmosphere is even reminiscent of a noble lady's leisurely afternoon tea.
The restless emotions in Jiang Wan's heart gradually calmed down under the faint fragrance floating in the room.
Ding.
Finally, the teapot heated by magic made a crisp sound.
The moment Xilin raised her hand to lift the teapot, Jiang Wan couldn't help but say:
"I……"
"I……"
At the same time, Shirin also spoke, then both stopped, and said again:
"...Then you go ahead and say it."
"You should speak first."
Looking at each other, the tense atmosphere between the two faded again. Shilin chuckled and did not continue to give way.
"Then let me tell you first."
He lifted the transparent teapot, glanced at the petals rolling with the water inside the teapot, nodded with satisfaction, and poured it into the two cups in front of him.
"It's actually not a surprise to me that you came alone today. I...was prepared for it a long time ago."
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and remained silent, silently raising her head, waiting for Shilin's next words.
"I actually never thought that one day I would have such a relationship with you."
Become a lover with him and a love rival with you.
It's really a wonderful development.
"You probably have no impression. We had already met when you first came here."
At the very beginning, Shirin stood on the top of the building, overlooking every new member.
Always alone.
Pushing one of the cups of tea in front of Jiang Wan, Xilin picked up a cup herself and leaned back.
Through the heat rising in the cup, Shirin looked at the girl opposite... No, even though she looked like her, she was no longer a girl.
The little girl who caught her attention at that time, followed timidly behind the boy, and looked nervously at the world, has grown up to where she is now.
Shaking her head, Shilin suddenly sighed:
"Time is really something that makes people feel sad when they think about it."
Relatives leave, friends grow old, and hometown changes...
Shireen has seen so many departures and changes, and will continue to see them in the future.
This is the fate of being an immortal species, and it is also Shireen's fate.
She was once afraid of such a fate and chose to go with the flow after escaping again and again.
Since you will leave me one day, as long as I don't know you, I won't feel the feeling of loss.
Since time will change the world, then I just go and hide in a place where it will not change.
But now, Shireen accepts this fate because someone is willing to go with her.
This road will never be lonely again.
And for that future, Shirin must work hard.
After taking a deep breath, Xilin's expression changed and she looked into Jiang Wan's eyes.
"Actually, when we didn't start fighting the first time we met, you and I both knew that there would definitely be a compromise between us."
Straightforwardly, Shireen revealed the most essential part of this encounter.
"It's just a matter of who bows his head first."
The show is here!
Jiang Wan gradually sat upright, and Jiang Wan's eyes gradually lit up with a light golden color as she became serious.
Take action, I won't give in easily!
However, Jiang Wan was destined to be disappointed.
"You don't need to be so nervous. Are you worried that I won't be able to bow my head because of the dignity of the legend?"
Shireen didn't attack at all.
"Will not."
Smiling and shaking her head, Shilin stared at Jiang Wan who was starting to get nervous and said softly:
"Since I was the one who made the mistake, why can't I bow my head first?"
Although you didn't have a confirmed relationship at that time, you did come first, I admit that.
All the previous specifications and rituals are not show of power, but sincerity!
"At the beginning, I was just curious about him and thought he was a little guy with something special."
"But now, I no longer think that way."
Curiosity killed the cat.
Curiosity about danger eventually led to the death of the kitten, which sounds terrible.
But what if the cat doesn’t resist this, or even... is happy with it?
"On top of deceiving you, I apologize, but I won't let it go."
"Because some things... are no longer misunderstandings."
Xilin looked directly at Jiang Wan. There was no overwhelming aggression in her eyes, but only a firm will that could not be easily changed.
Such calmness shocked Jiang Wan even more than the cry for life.
That is the will from the legend.
Just by existing here, Jiang Wan could feel Shilin's firm will.
If they are legends on the elemental side, their changes in will can even affect the surrounding environment.
Sitting elegantly, Shireen repeated:
"I won't let go."
Putting the hands holding the tea cup gently on her lap, Shirin smiled gently and spoke frankly and naturally:
"Although I don't care, from a bloodline perspective, I am not a human... but an elf."
"It's not a bloodline pedigree, but a pure-blooded elf who has returned to his ancestors."
!!!
Jiang Wan raised her brows, and the poker face Jiang Wan tried to put on stiffened for a moment. Finally, she couldn't help but asked:
"Does he...know?"
Does Ning Feng know about this?
Shilin shook her head slowly, blinked, and then her gentle aura fluctuated, she turned her head and muttered something weird:
"I didn't tell him, but I think he should have discovered it long ago."
Otherwise, who would keep kissing other people’s ears?
It's really bad.
Shaking her head, Shirin shook off the charming memories in her mind, turned back, coughed lightly and continued:
"Telling you this, what I want to say...is about the heir."
Jiang Wan:!!?
"It is very difficult to give birth to children of elves, so at this point, I will most likely be a step slower than you."
"But no matter how long it takes, there will definitely be."
Putting her hand gently on her lower abdomen, Shirin's face was filled with maternal kindness, and she said warmly:
"Because I want to have more family members."
Raising her head, Shilin did not mean any other threats and said in a consultative tone to Jiang Wan, whose expression was completely unbearable:
"I will give you the right to give birth to his first child...and this is my concession."
confusion!
I didn't expect it to unfold like this. Faced with Xilin's lack of level A, she immediately scaled up her moves to push the tower. Jiang Wan was a little unable to resist.
Jiang Wan's brain was in chaos.
what's the situation?
...Child, what child?
Why are we talking about children?
Has a sadly thick barrier appeared between my thoughts and yours?
Is there something wrong with me, or is your thinking too advanced... uh, too classical?
To be honest, although Jiang Wan has the idea of having a child with Ning Feng, it is not that concrete.
Jiang Wan is very willing, but she really has no intention of having a child so early...
She never expected that the concession Shilin made to herself would be this!
You, you, you...are all elves like this?
Her lips moved, but Jiang Wan still couldn't hold back the words. It took her a long time to say:
"……Why?"
Shouldn't we first be conciliatory and conciliatory, then argue with each other, and finally reach a consensus reluctantly?
By compromising like this, doesn't it make me look stupid after having made so many mental preparations?
Doesn’t this make me look like I’m here to make things difficult for you?
Smiling and shaking her head, Shirin asked:
"Because we are not friends?"
That's what you said.
Ning Feng is not the first person to force his way into my guarded area regardless of other people's resistance.
It's you.
In the beginning it was you who wanted to be a friend, but now it's me who doesn't want to lose you as a friend.
Jiang Wan looked at Xilin blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Just when the two looked at each other for a long time, their expressions suddenly changed at the same time.
Shirin quickly lowered her head, took out her tablet, and clicked on the message that had just reminded her urgently.
The window is enlarged, that is the perspective of a surveillance camera...
"Um?"
On the other side, Jiang Wan's expression was more alert. She looked directly in Ling Yi's direction and whispered:
"A bad woman is approaching Ning Feng!"
Shireen:......?
Looking at the picture displayed on the tablet, Ning Feng followed a tall woman into the room, and then looked at Jiang Wan with a serious face. Shilin was shocked.
Is it so accurate?
No, is this reasonable?
How did you do it!
Is this some new spell?
besides……
Jiang Wan, who turned around, also saw the surveillance camera on Xilin's tablet, and her eyes froze.
"Who is that woman?"
"Who is that bad woman!?"
…
…
In the room, Ning Feng raised his hand in confusion.
"Sorry, interrupt you first."
Looking at the tall veiled woman opposite him strangely, Ning Feng asked seriously:
