Wuhui: "Uh, why don't I just forget it?"
Zhiyao: "What?"
Wu Hui: "I'm 166 years old, why am I still playing hide-and-seek?"
Unable to resist Zhiyao's repeated requests, Wuhui finally agreed with reluctance. Unfortunately, because she hadn't slept the previous night, Zhiyao couldn't hold on any longer when the game reached midnight and fell asleep on the floor of the doll room.
Seeing him fall asleep, Bai Ju asked the children to go play somewhere else, and then she stayed quietly by his side. After a long time, she picked up Zhiyao's head and gently placed it on her thigh.
In this way, several hours passed until Zhiyao woke up from her sleep.
"Hoo-ah--" Zhiyao rubbed his heavy eyes, yawned, and slowly stood up, "What time is it now..."
"I don't know." Bai Ju replied, "It should be almost dawn."
Zhiyao then stood up and walked outside. When she got outside, she found that the sky had begun to turn a deep blue.
It would be dawn soon, so he informed Baiju to set off. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he suddenly remembered that Baiju would not go with him this time.
"Uh, how about... we just say goodbye here?" Zhiyao asked.
Bai Ju didn't reply, with a quiet smile on her face.
Seeing this, Zhiyao held Baiju's face and emphasized deliberately: "Hey, I'm really leaving."
Bai Ju then nodded and replied, "I know, I know, hurry up."
Zhiyao then let go of his hand and slowly backed away, turning around when he was ten meters away.
The next moment, a girl's voice came from behind.
"Brother Sikong——"
Zhiyao turned around and saw the white-haired girl biting her lower lip. He returned to the girl as quickly as possible and only then noticed the tears in her eyes.
"From now on, I can't be with you every moment." Bai Ju's voice sounded extremely difficult. "You must come to see me once a month in the future."
Zhiyao nodded vigorously, feeling unprecedented grief in her heart.
He and Bai Ju just looked at each other quietly like that until the sky gradually turned white, the breath of the kingdom of the dead surrounding the entire mountain slowly dissipated, and Bai Ju's body became less and less obvious, completely blending into the secret kingdom.
In the afternoon, when he returned to the shrine, Zhiyao took a nap in his room on the pretext of feeling unwell. When he woke up, it was already dark outside. He couldn't eat anything and had no interest in anything.
Although only Bai Ju was missing, he felt the room was colder than ever before.
"Sikong, where is Baiju?" Xili asked.
"It's time to go up the mountain again." Zhiyao looked listless and his voice was weak.
Xi Li was stunned.
"what happened?"
Zhiyao told Xili the whole story, and after listening, she sighed deeply.
"She is not only kind, but also great. She disregarded your life and death in order to keep you by her side, but now she is willing to separate from you for Fengshi."
Zhiyao smiled bitterly.
"After all, we are the ones who cause the injustices we face in this world."
Chapter 178: [This time, he took the initiative to go]
Since Bai Ju left, a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Zhiyao looked no different from usual during the day. She worked when she was supposed to work and ate when she was supposed to eat, but she became listless at night.
The specific manifestations are often not wanting to get up after lying down, and being indifferent to people around.
As the frequency increased, Xili gradually decided to do something to change the status quo.
"Sikong."
In the room, Xili spoke.
Zhiyao stared at the ceiling with dazed eyes, her gaze unwavering.
"Sikong."
Yuri spoke again.
Zhiyao still ignored her, so Xili gently pushed his shoulder, and then Zhiyao finally turned his gaze to her.
"Why?"
"I'm going to buy a video game console," Xili said. "When's your next day off? I'll take some time off too, and we can go buy it together on your day off."
"I forget it." Zhiyao yawned and rubbed his eyes. "There's no game I particularly want to play."
"I have."
"Then you can play by yourself."
"You have to find someone to play with. The game is only fun when two people play together."
Xili's incessant persuasion left Zhiyao speechless. Seeing her tireless efforts, Zhiyao slowly propped herself up and sat up straight. "You should go find Gudu. I probably can't keep you company any longer."
"Why?" Xili was confused.
"Because..." Zhiyao smiled awkwardly, "I'm going to resign tomorrow."
As soon as the voice came out, Xili's eyes suddenly widened as if she heard the end of the world.
"What did you say?!" She couldn't believe it.
Wu Hui, also unable to believe it, appeared beside Zhi Yao and asked with great concern, "Dear, what's going on?"
His eyes swept over the two people's faces one by one. Zhiyao silently lit a cigarette for himself and replied slowly: "I want to resign. I have already made it very clear."
"You want to leave here?" Wuhui looked incredulous.
"Why do you want to resign?" Xili asked hurriedly.
"You two know the reason." Zhiyao took a breath and slowly exhaled before answering, "Baiju has gone back, and I plan to move closer to her." After answering, he looked at Wuhui, seeking her advice. "Baiju is different from you. You have a residual soul that can stay by my side, but Baiju only has her body, so I decided to go somewhere close to her. Then, I'll keep the Himuro residence the same as it is now, and go to the Abyss of the End once a month. What do you think?"
"I have no problem." Kirie added without hesitation, "Actually, it's okay not to go to Himuro Residence. After all, you went there just to meet me."
Zhiyao immediately understood what he meant and said the rest: "If we move to Baiju's place, there will be no need, because if we go to Rishang Mountain, even the residual soul can be encountered."
Wuhui then gave a knowing smile.
"Wait!" Xili interrupted hurriedly, "Sikong, have you really thought it through?"
"I've thought about it." Zhiyao nodded as a matter of course.
"But……"
"how?"
"I……"
It was obvious that Xili didn't want him to leave, but even so, Zhiyao's thoughts would not change at all.
Because he values Baiju more than Yuli.
Although both are important, there are differences.
Baiju is my wife and Xili is my friend, so it is natural for me to favor Baiju.
"Xili, I've made up my mind," Zhiyao said.
Xili: “Hmm.”
"During the time Bai Ju was away, I was in a daze every night and often dreamed of her."
"But if you weren't here, I..." Xili hesitated to speak.
"You what?" Zhiyao smirked, changing his tone to a playful one, "Don't say you can't bear to leave me."
Xili immediately turned her eyes away and curled her lips. "That's not true. Please don't be so self-indulgent."
Zhiyao stopped joking and got back to the point: "Bai Ju is the Pillar of Rishang Mountain. She became a Pillar so she could meet me again in the future. She waited for me for decades. Now it's time for me to repay her and go to her side."
Xili knew from the beginning that this person was serious, and she was also very clear that it was impossible to keep him with just a few words.
She lowered her head sadly and remained silent for a moment, and finally had to succumb to reality.
"Then... remember to contact me, especially tell me your address and phone number."
"Hehe, I definitely won't forget." Zhiyao smiled brightly, "I'm moving away, not running away from home. Besides, with our relationship, it's impossible for us not to keep in touch in the future, right?"
"What is our relationship?" Xili asked.
"You know."
"I do not know."
Zhiyao pondered for a moment, "Not family, but better than family?"
"Pooh."
Xili immediately expressed her disdain, "You and I are not that close. Please don't try to bring us closer without permission. Thank you."
Zhiyao looked up at the sky and teased slowly, "I don't know who said that I won't leave because I'm here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xili choked and her face turned slightly red.
Looking at Zhiyao's smug look, she couldn't think of how to refute him, so she just got up and ran away.
……
The next morning, when Gu Du, who had stayed up all night, was about to go to bed, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, it was Zhiyao.
"What's wrong, Sikong?" Gudu yawned and sounded very tired.
Gudu is now wearing a chiffon tight pajamas that can perfectly show her figure. Faced with such a tempting scene, Zhiyao has no other thoughts. She just glanced at her lightly and then her eyes returned to Gudu's face.
"I've already submitted my resignation letter to my uncle and aunt, and I came here to say goodbye to you."
Hearing this, Gudu's sleepiness immediately vanished. He dragged the man into the house, pressed him to sit on the ground, and asked with great concern: "Why do you want to quit so suddenly?"
After saying this, he speculated: "Could it be... because of the low salary?"
"Of course not." Zhiyao smiled awkwardly, "It's my personal reason. Anyway... I have to leave this place. Well, come to think of it, I've lived here for such a long time. Thank you for taking me in."
"Ahaha, with our relationship, I won't let you wander the streets. If it weren't for you and Hinasaki, I wouldn't have been able to leave the Himuro residence alive."
As soon as the words fell, both of them suddenly didn't know what to say. They looked at each other lovingly for a while, and then as Zhiyao stood up, Gudu moved forward half a step, shortening the distance to the point where they could hug each other with just a raise of their hands.
Seeing this, Zhiyao took advantage of the situation and pulled her into his arms, hugging her gently. He then spoke first:
"We should keep in touch in the future."
He hugged Zhiyao back calmly and nodded his head slightly.
"Ah."
Zhiyao let go of her hands.
"That's it for now then?"
"When are you leaving? How about I give you a ride?"
"No, go to sleep."
With a roll of his eyes, Gudu smiled knowingly, "I see. Xili doesn't want to be disturbed, right?" Then he changed the subject and started teasing with interest, "Are you alone? Will Xili go with you?"
Zhiyao was speechless and gently poked her forehead to stop her from thinking about it.
When leaving Gudu's room, Zhiyao found Xili making a phone call in the corridor, so she slowly walked over.
The next moment after arriving behind Xili, Xili put down the microphone and turned around.
"Let's go."
"Why are you here?" Zhiyao looked confused. "Didn't you go to work?"
"I came back halfway." Xili replied indifferently, "I was just calling to ask for leave."
"Oh, I see." Zhiyao was a little embarrassed, "Actually, there's no need to ask for leave."
This time, Xili didn't deny it deliberately, and admitted it openly: "I want to see you off, is that not okay?"
