My wife is a witch princess.

……

Song Che finally understood why she said she couldn't have grilled fish this time—because she disappeared before nightfall.

She vanished without a trace; after making two wishes, she left.

It was just an ordinary day.

There was no goodbye.

wrong.

That day's wish and gift was farewell.

However, he didn't realize it.

She... really is Xia Li.

Song Che felt a sudden emptiness in his heart, but Xia Li hugged him tightly, and his heart filled up again.

Two beating hearts complemented each other's chest cavities.

This feeling... should be as firm as a rock.

With unwavering resolve, she will continue on her path regardless of the ravages of time.

Is it because... she didn't live through the future she envisioned?

Did he abandon Xia Li?

I can't do anything...

Ok.

Song Che confirmed it to himself.

Yes, he was sure.

She is Xia Li, and this is something Xia Li would do.

She is confident, determined, brave, and strong.

He is hypocritical and weak, possessing all the flaws of humankind.

He will give up.

But she won't.

Everything she did, everything she did, was telling him.

Don't give up.

Song Che had always underestimated Xia Li's determination.

He likes Xia Li... but what was the reason again?

Do you need a reason to like someone?

do you need?

Unbeknownst to Song Che, his eyes welled up with tears; he was heartbroken.

He really is a soft-hearted person.

Some people will never grow up.

He and Xia Li were both children.

She also sees herself as a child.

Why are you crying?

"Because I was thinking of something happy."

"Shouldn't we smile when we're happy?" Xia Li tilted her head, looking exceptionally cute.

"Yes, I can laugh." Song Che hugged Xia Li even tighter. "Tell me, between me and a rock, who is more steadfast?"

"You."

Congratulations, you got it right.

"You're holding me a little too tightly." Xia Li was completely held in Song Che's arms, her feet off the ground, her toes dangling in the air.

"Yes, that's how determined I am."

Everything is alright now.

Song Che put Xia Li down, and suddenly his vision blurred.

label.

The label next to Xia Li disappeared.

He turned and glanced at Bruce.

The cat responded with a bark.

But he could no longer see those labels.

The bad woman left.

and so……

Song Che cupped Xia Li's face in his hands, "You're really amazing."

"Yes, that's for sure." Xia Li felt there was nothing wrong with that statement; she was always confident.

"Tell me, between you and a rock, who is more steadfast?"

"I will be more determined than you."

"No, no, no, I'm more determined than you."

"Impossible, I'm more determined than you."

"Then I'll be twice as determined as you."

"I'll pay three times as much."

"Four times."

"...Seven times!"

"..."

"..."

"I like it a hundred times more!"

Damn it, this is an auction.

"Two hundred times!"

Snapped--

"You're so determined, can you please stop hitting me when you get angry?"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." Xia Li rubbed his head. "But we promised each other we'd be together forever. This was my fault, I shouldn't have hit you. But if you ever like someone else, or abandon me, I..."

"Knock me to death?"

"I didn't say that."

"That's what you wanted to say, isn't it?"

"I didn't say that," Xia Li stubbornly insisted.

"Fine, go ahead and tap. That's all the fun you have." Song Che felt that her tapping really hurt, but it also felt very comfortable when she rubbed it.

It's okay to hit someone, just don't break their limbs and take care of them for the rest of their lives.

Song Che cupped Xia Li's face in his hands again. "Although, I still want to thank that bad woman. But now that she's gone, I'll thank you instead. You two are one person."

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for making me realize that I am also an important person, and that my value lies in wanting to be with you."

“…Hmm.” Xia Li paused, then suddenly said, “These things, weren’t they… taught to me first?”

“…Ah.” Song Che was taken aback. “I think I did say that.”

"So you don't know how, but you taught me first?" Xia Li shook her head. "That doesn't make sense."

"It doesn't make sense." Song Che shook his head as well. "Forget about the logic, these things don't matter. I'm more curious about what gift the bad woman gave us. Think about it, if it were you, what gift would you want to give us?"

Xia Li thought about it seriously for a few minutes, and finally said with great conviction, "...I have absolutely no idea!"

……

Xia Li is a girl next door who is gentle but not actually gentle, cunning but not actually cunning, and who doesn't hit people but doesn't actually hit them.

This is how she is now.

She chattered curiously at the fan, showing none of the aloofness one might expect from His Highness.

She completely unleashed her inner universe, along with a collection of adjectives that Song Che hadn't even thought of yet, such as little devil, little angel, big idiot, big bad guy, and idiotic human-machine.

In short, she's a young woman.

beep-

The younger sister's phone rang.

beep-

The younger sister answered the phone.

"Hey, Xia Li, are you and Song Che home? I've booked a family trip for us. Let's pack and go have some fun these next few days!"

My mom's voice is full of energy.

"Ah, okay, I'll go tell Song Che."

Song Che, who was standing nearby, spoke up, "Mom, are you going to abandon the family shop?"

"The shop is open now, but there's no one here."

"Oh, okay... wait, where are you talking about this project?"
