He didn’t blame Ming Yue at all—after all, he knew exactly how Ming Yue had come by her current situation.

He just felt a bit sorry for his own Feng Ge. After following Feng Ge for so many years, he’d never seen Feng Ge care this much about anyone, nor had he ever witnessed Feng Ge enjoying such happy times as he has lately.

Just the thought of Feng Ge possibly falling out with Sao Zi—or even being abandoned by her—made Xiao Hu feel a pang of sympathy and discomfort.

Lin Xi, of course, could see the subtle concern in the person beside her.

But she didn’t call him on it; instead, she continued, “As for the second question, it’s hard to say it’s hard, yet not really that hard either. It all depends on what Jiang Feng does.”

“How do you mean?” Xiao Hu asked, looking puzzled.

Lin Xi sighed. “After going through so much, Yueyue clearly won’t put matters of the heart first anymore—not even second or third. If Jiang Feng acts like a jealous little husband, clinging to Yueyue all day long, it might be okay for a short while, but over time, it won’t change Yueyue at all; on the contrary, it’ll only make her resentful.”

“Hmm…” Xiao Hu fell into thought.

In his heart, he secretly wondered: Shouldn’t he sometimes pay a bit more attention to his own words and actions?

After all, Xixi and Sao Zi do have some similarities.

“So Jiang Feng must learn to strike the right balance with Yueyue. That’s what I mean when I say it’s hard. But there is actually an easy way, too.”

Lin Xi deliberately left it hanging.

Xiao Hu immediately pressed, “What’s the way? What’s the easy way?”

After all, it was his own Feng Ge—he wanted to get the details straight first, so that if possible, he could remind Feng Ge later.

Who knows—maybe when Feng Ge is happy, he’ll even reward him with a big house or something?

Just thinking about it made him smile.

Xiao Hu couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

Lin Xi looked at him in confusion.

Only then did he realize he’d been acting a bit too openly and quickly pulled himself together.

Lin Xi didn’t ask what he’d been laughing about; instead, she said, “The easy way is simply helping Yueyue get along well with the people and things she cares about most!”

“Revenge? Aren’t we already helping with that? Besides, Feng Ge wants to pitch in too, but Sao Zi doesn’t seem very willing!” Xiao Hu said, clearly still not getting what Lin Xi meant.

Lin Xi gave him a slightly exasperated look. “Of course it’s not about revenge! Haven’t you figured that out yet? Yueyue wants to handle it herself. All those years of resentment she’s been bottling up inside—she wants to let it out bit by bit on her own.”

“Then what is it?” Xiao Hu asked.

“Yueyue’s family!” Lin Xi replied.

“Oh, I get it! I get it!” Xiao Hu suddenly realized, delighted with his own cleverness.

Just then, the woman beside him added another sentence: “And Fu Qiancheng, too.”

“What?” Xiao Hu thought he must have misheard.

But Lin Xi confirmed firmly, “You didn’t mishear—it’s Fu Qiancheng.”

“But Fu Qiancheng…?” Xiao Hu wanted to ask what Fu Qiancheng had to do with any of this. Didn’t Sao Zi and Fu Qiancheng already fall out ages ago? Could it be that Sao Zi still has feelings for him now?

Of course, he didn’t dare voice these questions aloud; he could only mutter them silently in his heart.

Lin Xi glanced at him—whether she understood his thoughts or not, she said calmly, “So what about Fu Qiancheng? Is there some kind of written rule in this world that says Yueyue absolutely must never speak to Fu Qiancheng again for the rest of her life, or that she must hate Fu Qiancheng forever? At the end of the day, Fu Qiancheng’s behavior back then may not have been entirely right, but it wasn’t exactly outrageous either. He and Yueyue… they’re both just two people who’ve had a tough life.”
