Inside the house, Gu Linxi had just tried to call Xie Siqian again. However, the other party was still unable to connect for the time being. Please dial the notification sound later. Where did Xie Siniang go? Gu Linxi felt somewhat uneasy. A sound rang out from the other side of the door. Gu Linxi couldn't help but turn her head and see the door being opened, before a man walked in from there.

After being on tenterhooks for so long, Xie finally relaxed. This was what Gu Linxi and Xie Siqiang shared in their thoughts. Seeing that the other party was safe, the two of them felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

"You're back." Gu Linxi didn't say anything more. She only said a few simple words to greet Xie Siqiang.

At the same time, Xie Siqiang didn't say anything and merely nodded his head.

He walked forward and tightly hugged Xie Sisi. With a tinge of worry in his voice, he said, "I'm really worried for you. Why haven't you picked up my call for the entire day?"

Xie Siqiang hugged Gu Lin Xi back, his chin resting on Gu Lin Xi's head as he continuously experienced this kind of feeling. He still liked it a lot, the feeling of hugging Gu Lin Xi in his arms, because that would give him a special warmth. However, this moment of warmth didn't last for long. Xie Siqian was already struggling with her own will, and now that she had relaxed, she felt her legs go soft.

She staggered a step and almost fell to the ground. If not for Gu Linxi's timely support, she probably wouldn't have been able to avoid falling down like this. Gu Linxi frowned. She didn't know why Xie Si had suddenly become so weak. Only now did Gu Linxi notice that Xie Siqian's expression wasn't very good. Her face was somewhat pale, and her hands seemed to be trembling slightly as well.

What was going on? Gu Linxi helped Xie Siqian sit down.

"What's the matter with you?" Gu Linxi placed a cup of water in front of Xie Siqiang. Only at this moment did Gu Linxi realize that Xie Siqian was unceasingly breaking out in cold sweat. She could not help but place her hand on Xie Siqiang's forehead. The temperature on his forehead was not high, and it was clear that it was not a fever.

Just as Gu Linxi's hand left Xie Siqian's forehead, Xie Siqian suddenly pulled on Gu Xiangxi's hand and held it tightly.

He held Gu Linxi's hand and looked at it. The same red string had also disappeared. Xie Siqiang looked at Gu Lin Xi's wrist and asked weakly, "Ling Xi, where's your Red String of Fate?"

Gu Linxi used her other hand to take out the red rope that she had placed in her pocket, then showed it to Xie Siqiang.

Just like his own, Xie Sizui placed the pink rope together with his own. The two identical ropes broke without any warning. As he recalled the look on Gu Linxi's face as he gave the rope to him, Xie Sisi wondered why the red rope would suddenly break today. Did this mean that she was already unwilling?

Xie Si Er had sunk into deep thought, but he didn't see that Gu Lin Xi was looking at him with a face full of worry. He was only thinking about whether the reason why he'd broken off was because of Gu Lingxi or himself. Under his gaze, the two red ropes suddenly became transparent, and then disappeared into his palm, as if they had never appeared.

Gu Linxi also saw this scene and immediately covered her mouth in shock. Originally, the color suddenly turned pale, which was a bit miraculous. In the end, it just disappeared right in front of him. There was not even a speck of ash left behind. This was truly miraculous.

"Why isn't there any more?" Gu Linxi pointed at Xie Siqian's hand and asked somewhat curiously.

Xie Siqian's expression turned grave. The instant the two red ropes disappeared, a message suddenly appeared in his mind. It could be considered an explanation of the function of the Red String of Fate. When he thought back to his weakened state today, Xie Siqiang looked at Gu Linxi with a complicated gaze. Had Gu Linxi long anticipated this day to come? Therefore, she had long since made arrangements for herself.

Under this kind of gaze, Gu Linxi felt somewhat at a loss for words. She didn't know why Xie Sisi was looking at her like that, but she felt that it was really strange. She couldn't help but touch his face. Did she not wash her face clean today? Otherwise, why would she keep giving him such a weird look?

"It completed its mission, so it naturally disappeared." As he spoke softly, Xie Si's eyes became extremely gentle. Even though the pain in his body was still there, it was precisely because of this that he was constantly reminded of the things that Gu Xiangxi had done for him. He was very grateful to Gu Linxi, but everything had already been arranged beforehand, causing him to be exceptionally surprised.

She seemed to have anticipated that Jiang Jiayi would one day kill her, so she tied the red rope to her and him. The power that was attached to the red rope stabilized his body, so that he wouldn't be blown away by Jiang Jiayi. But what kind of price would this Gu Linxi have to pay? If there was no price to pay, that would be against the principle of fairness.

And why did Jiang Jiayi want to kill him? Since he knew the method, he naturally recovered his memories. Thinking up to here, Xie Xing's eyes were filled with worry for the future. He gently caressed Gu Lingxi's hair. It was as gentle as the clouds, and as gentle as the spring sun. He cast a gaze filled with love and gentleness onto Gu Jingxi's body.

He didn't know what Gu Linxi wanted to do, but the facts had proven that her heart wasn't heartless to him. She might not be able to compare to Jiang Jiayi, but at least she had a little position.

"Completed his mission?" Gu Linxi looked at Xie Siqiang in puzzlement. What did she mean by 'completed the mission'? While still in a daze, she looked into Xie Sitian's eyes, and a rosy blush appeared on Gu Lingxi's face. She was almost unable to hold back Xie Siqian's gaze. How could she be so gentle? It was as if he was wholeheartedly believing in himself, or perhaps there was only one person in his eyes.

Gu Linxi's initial doubt towards Xie Si's ability to think clearly was instantly reduced to smoke under this gaze. As Jin Kangle had said, no matter what, Xie Siqiang would always treat him sincerely. Even if he had to deceive her, it was because of a single word: love. If she thought about it carefully, there was nothing she wasn't satisfied with.

This person had satisfied all of her requirements for her boyfriend, so what was there to be picky about?

"Little Xi, thank you." The connection between him and Jiang Jiayi had been severed. This meant that he would be truly free in the future. There was probably no longer any effect of not being able to kill Jiang Jiayi. Xie Si Er understood the function of the Red String of Fate. After sensing his body carefully, he more or less understood some of what was going on.

However, the pain on his body would probably continue for a period of time. After all, it was impossible for him to take all the good things by himself. Being able to break free from the shackles between him and Jiang Jiayi was something that he had once dreamed of. Gu Linxi had fulfilled his dream. Then what about Gu Linxi's dream? Xie Siqian's mood was slightly downcast. Could he help her out with Gu Linxi's dream?

There was always nothing he wanted to tell him, so how was he supposed to do it? Xie Siqian tightly held onto Gu Linxi's hand, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. Could it be that in Gu Linxi's heart, he also felt that he was too useless, that even if he told her, she still wouldn't be able to help him in the slightest?
