Lu Yebai looked at her with his deep, quiet eyes. He was silent for a moment, as though lost in thought, before finally holding her tightly in his embrace.

"Xixi."

"Yes?"

"What would you do... I mean, what if, one day, I'm no longer around?"

Meng Xi'er broke free from his embrace, her delicate eyebrows knitted as she gazed at him.

"What's gotten into you? Why are you saying things like this?"

Perhaps it was too much living with the threat of Lu Yebai's death hanging over them that made her instinctively dislike these words.

Lu Yebai smiled, "Death is a part of life. It's not impossible for me to die before you."

Meng Xi'er became irritated by his continued talk of this, so she intentionally tried to upset him, "If you truly die before me, I'll remarry and let your son call another man 'daddy', just to irritate you!"
