Chapter 485 - 164 Dong’an Chicken_2
To be honest, Du Xixi doesn’t really see Shen Yin and Miao Miao being together, even though at this moment Shen Yin has just developed feelings and Miao Miao shows no sign yet. But as Shen Yin’s sister and Miao Miao’s sister, Du Xixi has already thought a lot about it.
Identity and status are secondary, not to mention the Blue Star Empire doesn’t focus on these. If someone really pursues it, Miao Miao’s identity is not considered low, she is also an excellent student at Blue Star University majoring in political economics, more than qualified to be the Empress of Blue Star Empire.
What Du Xixi truly worries about is that if Miao Miao is really together with Shen Yin, she would have to, like Shen Yin now, bear the responsibilities of the whole Empire and face the ever-changing All-Star situation.
Shen Yin has been the Emperor for decades, and he still has moments when he feels overwhelmed. Even if Miao Miao is strong enough to share some of Shen Yin’s burdens, at the start, she will inevitably feel all sorts of discomfort and have a strong urge to escape.
Du Xixi feels for Shen Yin, but also for Miao Miao who has been by her side all along. She doesn’t have the ability to help Shen Yin solve the mountain of affairs but right now she has an opportunity to prevent this relationship from forming.
But...
Du Xixi closed her eyes, smiled at Miao Miao, withdrew her hand, and leaned against Ke Lian’s side. Although she wants to stop it, she can’t.
Every relationship is destined to happen. Shen Yin’s heart has been empty for over a hundred years, and suddenly Miao Miao settled into it. Du Xixi does not think Shen Yin is someone who acts rashly. As for Miao Miao not having feelings for Shen Yin now, how things will develop later is something Du Xixi can’t predict.
If Du Xixi were to speak honestly, she hopes that both Shen Yin and Miao Miao will be well.
Ke Lian understands what Du Xixi is thinking, but he’s not a talkative person at home. At this point, he simply holds Du Xixi’s hand and squeezes it gently to show comfort. Then, as Miao Miao goes to read, he whispers in Du Xixi’s ear: "Don’t worry, everything will be alright."
Du Xixi casts a worried glance at Ke Lian. Ke Lian continues, "Don’t you trust the Emperor? Not to mention that he hasn’t shown his interest in Miao Miao yet, even if he did, would the Emperor be willing to let his beloved suffer?"
Du Xixi is startled, slaps her forehead in realization, and then smiles bitterly, saying softly, "I’ve misunderstood."
Du Xixi has always been contemplating but mostly from Miao Miao’s perspective, thus neglecting Shen Yin’s personality and forgetting that Shen Yin is someone who wouldn’t let his beloved toil and bear hardships.
Shen Yin is undoubtedly someone who wouldn’t handle relationships carelessly. Just based on how Shen Yin has consistently refused marriage proposals from other Empires or courtiers over the years, it’s clear how much Shen Yin values relationships.
Therefore, if Miao Miao and Shen Yin are together, Shen Yin will certainly bear most of the initial adjustment period. He won’t let his beloved be entangled with affairs; he will slowly integrate the beloved into his life while also melding himself into the beloved’s life.
Thanks to Ke Lian’s guidance, Du Xixi opens up a bit about Shen Yin and Miao Miao’s matter. Though she still harbors some concern in her heart, ultimately nothing has transpired with Miao Miao yet. Du Xixi can only suppress everything deep inside to avoid overthinking and worrying.
After the three of them finish eating, Ke Lian naturally goes off to work in his sharply tailored military uniform. Du Xixi lazily leans back on the sofa, digesting her meal, while Miao Miao, unable to shake off her book-loving habit, picks up a thick book right after leaving the dining table and starts flipping through the pages.
The two children haven’t gotten up yet. Du Xixi, a bit bored, fiddles with the ends of her hair hanging in front of her, then, lost in thought, looks at Miao Miao engrossed in reading, suddenly asks, "Miao Miao, what do you think of brother?"
"The Emperor?" Miao Miao furrows her brows, finding Du Xixi a bit odd today. After all, normally Du Xixi wouldn’t ask for others’ opinions in front of Miao Miao. "The Emperor is a very impressive person, with considerable achievements in politics, a respectable... elder?"
Du Xixi:... I’m sorry, suddenly I feel Shen Yin is so pitiful. He finally has feelings for someone, yet that person sees him as an elder!
Du Xixi’s mood suddenly improves, perhaps thinking about her brother’s long future journey to win someone’s heart. She raises her brows slightly and says, "Good, continue reading."
"Oh!" Miao Miao responds, without much thought about why Du Xixi today behaves so exceptionally. She simply lowers her head, letting her fingertips rub against the pages, feeling their unique texture, then squints her eyes and once again becomes immersed.
