"What's the matter with you?"

Zhixin's voice was gentle yet with a hint of subtle distance. She looked at Zhao Xin calmly. Although she had expected this, she still maintained the calmness and politeness that was unique to an angel in the face of this sudden confession.

Her heart was as calm as a lake, without any ripples caused by Zhao Xin's confession, because she knew clearly that her heart was not there.

Zhao Xin's face flushed slightly, his fingers rubbed the corner of his clothes nervously, and his eyes flickered with embarrassment and expectation.

"Um, um...I, I like you very much."

He mustered up his courage and finally spoke out what was in his heart, but then he lowered his voice unconsciously as if he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

"Thank you."

Zhi Xin responded softly. These two words were simple and sincere, but they also clearly conveyed her attitude.

She understood Zhao Xin's intentions and was grateful for this pure emotion, but she did not have the same response in her heart.

The angel's eyes of insight have long seen through people's hearts. She is not completely insensitive to Zhao Xin's feelings, but she has more far-reaching considerations and unfinished missions.

When Zhao Xin heard these two words, the light in his eyes seemed to dim a little.

He looked up at Zhixin, and that calm face made him feel a little uneasy.

"No, that's right, Zhixin, you... you don't... have anything to say?"

There was a hint of urgency in his words, as if he wanted to catch a glimpse of hope from Zhixin's reaction.

Zhixin shook her head gently, her eyes gentle yet firm.

"Zhao Xin, you are a very good person, really."

"But I think we may not be on the same frequency at the moment. In my heart, I have a persistent pursuit of the future of angels, as well as the expectations of my teacher, and my personal dream and mission."

"These things keep me from being distracted and thinking about other feelings for the time being."

Although her words were tactful, her attitude was extremely clear.

"I think you're pretty good. How about you...consider it?"

Zhao Xin was still unwilling to give up, and he tried to seize a possible opportunity with his final effort.

But just when Zhixin was about to respond to Zhao Xin, a lively figure suddenly broke into this slightly awkward atmosphere like a cheerful wind.

Little Kaixi walked lightly to Zhixin with a bright smile on her face, and naturally put her right hand around her neck.

"What are you doing, Sister Zhixin?"

Little Kaixi's voice was clear and pleasant, with a bit of mischief and curiosity. Her appearance instantly diverted everyone's attention.

Zhi Xin was slightly startled, then smiled gently and said, "Young Prince, why are you here? I remember Yan took you to the other side, didn't he?"

His eyes unconsciously scanned the surroundings, trying to find Yan's figure, but found nothing, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

Xiao Kaixi seemed to be completely unaware of Zhao Xin's existence. At this moment, there was only Zhixin in her world.

She shook her head, her tone a bit coquettish: "I was so bored, I couldn't help but run over when I saw Sister Zhixin!"

"Sister Yan is always busy with her important matters, so I can only find fun on my own."

Hearing this, Zhixin smiled dotingly and gently patted the back of Xiao Kaixi's hand: "Is that so? However, Sister Yan is also concerned about you and is afraid that you will be bored here."

"Oh, I know!" Xiao Kaixi pouted, and then seemed to remember something important, and said hurriedly: "By the way, Sister Yan was called away by Ge Xiaolun just now, saying that there were follow-up matters of the social gathering to discuss."

"I saw they were serious, so I snuck over to find you."

When he heard the name "Ge Xiaolun", a hint of complex emotions flashed across Zhao Xin's originally dim eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Zhixin nodded thoughtfully, but at this moment, her attention was more on Xiao Kaixi.

Seeing that Zhixin was about to leave with Xiaokaixi, Zhao Xin quickly grabbed her hand, but then felt that it was not appropriate and quickly let go.

"Um, Zhixin, I...what happened just now, how about you reconsider it?"

But Zhixin just smiled slightly, and that smile contained so many things - understanding, gratitude, and a hint of apology.

"Zhao Xin, I will always remember your kindness."

"But please allow me to stay where I am now, and maybe one day in the future, when we are all ready, there will be better possibilities."

"But now, I hope we can continue to get along as friends and move forward together."

The heart-warming refusal not only maintained the elegance and tactfulness unique to angels, but also appropriately conveyed her own position, which made people respect her.

Her words were like a breeze in spring, gentle yet firm. They did not hurt people's self-esteem, but made people understand her intentions clearly.

Little Kaixi's blue eyes moved flexibly between Zhixin and Zhao Xin, as if she could see through all the subtle emotional fluctuations.

She was keenly aware of the subtle atmosphere between the two, but felt reassured by Zhixin's clear attitude.

In her eyes, Zhixin did not give Zhao Xin any response beyond friendship, so she thought there was nothing wrong with it.

Zhao Xin seemed to be in a heavy mood, but he also showed due grace. He did not continue to pester, but silently accepted Zhixin's decision.

This maturity and restraint made Xiao Kaixi feel more favorable towards him.

Before leaving, Zhixin looked at Xiao Kaixi gently.

"Oh, my Lord, I have to go to the teacher first. There are some things I haven't asked yet."

"Okay! Sister Zhixin, just go without any worries!"

When hearing this, Zhi Xin always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

I could only nod and leave this place.

When Zhixin left, Xiao Kaixi was about to leave but was stopped by Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin seemed a little hesitant, but finally mustered up the courage to make his request.

"Um, little angel, can you help me understand what Zhixin thinks of me and what his attitude is towards me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kaixi frowned slightly. She thought that such a request was a little inappropriate.

Although she had not spent much time with Zhixin, she understood some of Zhixin's personality and principles, and knew that Zhixin did not have any feelings for Zhao Xin beyond friendship.

So she shook her head and said in her clear, sweet voice: "Well, isn't this good?"

"I can't just say whatever Sister Zhixin is thinking. Besides, I think you should respect her decision, don't you?"

There was a cunning light in Zhao Xin's eyes. He smiled and took out a delicate little cake from the micro-wormhole. The golden crust was dotted with a few bright red strawberries, exuding an enticing sweet aroma.

He gently lifted up the cake and said to Xiao Kaixi, "How about I use this cake to exchange some information with you? This is your favorite flavor!"

Little Kaixi's eyes lit up immediately, and her little nose twitched slightly, as if she had smelled the mouth-watering fragrance.

But then, she frowned again and looked at Zhao Xin with a serious look: "Are you trying to bribe me with the cake? I am an angel with principles!"

Zhao Xin quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, no, no, how can this be called bribery? We are just conducting a fair transaction."

"I know you know Zhixin very well, and I just want to know more about her."

"This little cake is the price I pay for obtaining the information."

After hearing what Zhao Xin said, Xiao Kaixi felt a little shaken.

She really liked this little cake, but at the same time she understood that as a little angel, she should not be easily tempted by material things.

After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Zhao Xin, although what you said makes some sense, I think that some things cannot be exchanged for material things."

"Especially regarding Sister Zhixin's affairs, I can't casually reveal them to you."

"You have a saying on Earth... a forced melon is not sweet!"
