Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bi Ying did not expect Xi Cheng to be interested in this kind of conflict between high school students. He looked at Xi Cheng strangely and realized that Xi Cheng was not joking. He really wanted to participate in this topic.

He probably felt that it was rude not to answer other people’s questions, so he avoided the important parts and said, “It’s the girl who was mistakenly switched with Huo Tian. She has returned to her biological parents’ side now, but she hasn’t been on good terms with Huo Tian.”

Huo Tian snorted heavily. Although she didn’t say anything, her attitude was enough to show how bad her relationship with Huo You was.

This was the first time Xi Cheng had seen such a childish youngster, so he liked Huo Tian even more.

However, Xi Cheng did not know Huo You well, so he could not comment on other people’s personal matters.

He could only change the topic and say, “Huo Tian, let Bi Ying help me with the wearing next. You’re a young lady, it’s not very convenient for you to be here…”

They would indeed need to come into contact with a man’s sensitive part, so even though Huo Tian didn’t think anything about it, she respected other people’s thoughts.

She nodded readily. “Okay, Uncle Xi, I’ll go out first. Call me when you’re done changing.”

After Huo Tian left, only Xi Cheng and Bi Ying were left in the room. Neither of them had a lively personality, so the atmosphere was a little silent.

Although Bi Ying was a man of few words, he was a very meticulous child. When he was helping Xi Cheng put on the robotic exoskeleton equipment, he was very careful to avoid hurting him.

Xi Cheng looked at the silent and attentive child and sighed.

He had been through so many things, so how could he not tell that there was a budding relationship between these children?

Si Huan had the clearest goal among the three children. After he found out about his feelings for Huo Tian, he had been influencing her subtly at his own pace.

Now, Si Huan’s influence had started to show some effects. When he wasn’t by Huo Tian’s side, Huo Tian would still uncontrollably think of him.

Huo Tian was an innocent child. Novel knowledge and experiments occupied most of the space in her heart. However, it was precisely because of this innocence that she had never concealed her good impression of Si Huan.

It was just a matter of time before the two of them got together…

However, Bi Ying was completely different from the two of them. He was not as slow-witted as Huo Tian nor was he as decisive as Si Huan.

Bi Ying might have vaguely sensed that he had developed a different feeling for Huo Tian, but he had yet to take the first step in his pursuit. It would be fine if he could easily let go of the feelings in his heart, but if he regarded those feelings with too much importance, he might very well watch Si Huan and Huo Tian slowly get together in the long future and then torture himself amidst his soberness…

Perhaps it was because he was old that Xi Cheng always liked to give advice to youngsters.

Moreover, he liked these children very much, so he couldn’t help but say to Bi Ying, “Bi Ying, if I were you, I would take the initiative to express my feelings. Even if there are no results, I wouldn’t leave myself with any regrets after having tried. Do you think that’s right?”

Bi Ying paused in his actions, but his loss of composure only lasted for a moment. He quickly continued to help Xi Cheng put on the exoskeleton equipment. He did not look up but his voice was a little tight. “Mr. Xi, thank you for the reminder, but I think that this is already enough…”

Bi Ying was not surprised that Xi Cheng could tell how he felt about Huo Tian. After all, feelings had always been the hardest thing to hide.

He didn’t know if the others had noticed it, but he had never planned on clarifying things to Huo Tian.

Bi Ying thought to himself, how could he not like Huo Tian? It was Huo Tian who had pulled him out of the endless darkness, allowing him, who had been crippled for more than 10 years, to walk and run like a normal person, giving him new life and hope..
