# Chapter 2958: Do You Know What the Luckiest Thing in the World Is?
The smile that had been plastered on Xia Yao's face finally broke. She was always the happiest one, the one who broke heavy topics and livened up the atmosphere!
But this time, she couldn't hold it together!
Xia Yao couldn't help but think about how Jiangnan would spend these three hundred-plus years. Alone... in a distant other starry sky, a completely unfamiliar world, with no family or friends around!
Even if he missed everyone, he couldn't come back!
If there were cosmic beings in that world, if something happened that prevented Jiangnan from returning, if everything went smoothly... for Jiangnan, the Celestial Palace Starry Sky World would still be a lonely prison...
He had walked this world for less than thirty years, yet now, to protect the dream reality, he had to go spend over three hundred long years alone!
Everything was unknown!
Xia Yao had tried her hardest all along to maintain a smile, to create the most beautiful and happiest memories for Jiangnan, so that after he went to that starry sky, he would have memories to look back on...
But she messed up. Seeing Xing Cheng's tooth marks, Xia Yao still broke down...
Jiangnan looked lost as he watched Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue leave, reaching out to grab but catching nothing but air...
The atmosphere in the room felt heavy!
Jiangnan's gaze dimmed as he looked down at his feet. The fragrance of wood still lingered in "Little Nan's Home"...
Wu Liang wiped his nose and stepped forward to pat Jiangnan on the shoulder:
(๑͡°ก͡°) "Nan Ge... I'm not good with words... I don't know how to comfort people..."
"But do you remember back in the Dike No-Man's Land 097 outpost, when I doubted my feelings for Miaomiao? You advised me and helped me understand my true heart..."
"If you like someone, then go for it? We're men, there's no need for all those twists and turns. The most touching thing in this world is never expensive gifts or sweet words, but a sincere true heart!"
"Look at me and Miaomiao, we've walked this road together, and we're doing pretty well, right?"
Jiangnan gave a bitter laugh, never expecting that in the end, it would be Wu Liang, this iron dummy, who would be advising him!
Xiong Er also stepped forward: "Nan Ge, I know you're worried about something happening to you, about not being able to come back, about letting Sister Xue and the others down. But if the worst outcome really comes, and you never faced your true feelings, wouldn't you regret it?"
"Never live your life awkwardly. When Xiao Qi and I first started, I thought there was no way. I'm a bear, she's a human, humans and bears are different species, right? But look at me now? I've even met my father-in-law!"
"Since you're going, don't go with regrets in your heart! Nan Ge, I've got your back!"
Jiangnan covered his forehead with his hand. Even Xiong Er was trying to persuade me!
Xing Cheng tilted her head in confusion:
٩(˵¯͒〰¯͒˵)۶ "I don't really understand, but—together~ together~ oh oh oh~ together~"
Xing Cheng started hopping right there, and Little Carp next to her followed along with her croaking~
Xiao Jiuwo said seriously:
꒰ঌ(◉͡°◠͡°)໒꒱ "Brave Nan Nan~ Don't fear difficulties!"
Jiangnan's face was full of embarrassment. Blushing, he pushed Wu Liang and the others out of the room!
੧੧(≥﹏≤๑) "Go, go! All of you go somewhere cool and stay there! Let me be alone for a while!"
With that, he slammed the door shut, and there was no more movement!
Wu Liang scratched his head:
୧(｡･ˇ～ˇ･) "Nan Ge... he'll figure it out himself, right? There are still three days, there's still time..."
Xiong Er said with some emotion: "Nan Ge, he... he can handle everyone else's problems perfectly, but when it comes to his own matters, he can't do it. Hopefully..."
Xiao Jiuwo rolled her eyes:
꒰ঌ(꒪ั～꒪ั*)໒꒱ "Let's not worry about this. When has Jiangnan Gege ever let us down? Ah~ let's go, give him some private space..."
The group chatted as they left the Immortal Boat Star!
Jiangnan leaned against the door, listening to the sounds of them gradually fading away...
Finally, it became completely quiet, leaving only the rustling sound of wind through the trees and the flowing water of the waterfall...
Jiangnan could even hear his own heartbeat!
He looked up at the empty home!
Murmured softly: "No regrets?"
...
The night on Immortal Boat Star was cold and lonely!
Jiangnan lay on his back on the roof of the golden villa, gazing up at the night sky...
Scenes from the original reality flowed through his mind—countless regrets, endless things too late to remedy!
In the original reality, because of the Type 17 Blood Incineration, Jiangnan knew he had no future, so he dared not speak, dared not love...
And in the dream reality, everyone had experienced so many bittersweet moments together, walking all the way until today!
Jiangnan still dared not love. As the person at the very front, Jiangnan had to bear too much. He was afraid that one day he would fall, that he couldn't hold on anymore...
If he allowed himself to love, in the end, it might only leave them with endless regrets!
So he had been running away all along, not daring to move forward, not even one step!
But... was this really right?
Would this leave no regrets?
Because of the fear of a sad ending, denying the beauty of the process?
If you never dare to start, how can happiness and beauty ever begin?
In the end, was he really going to leave like this, carrying a heart full of longing and reluctance?
Li Bing's words, Wu Liang's and Xiong Er's words kept echoing in his mind!
Jiangnan looked up at the sky, but the clouds were too thick to see the stars!
He raised his hand and waved gently. Space flowed, as if an invisible giant hand was parting the clouds!
A wide rift opened in the thick clouds, dispelling the mist. The brilliant starlight poured down like autumn water, shining on Jiangnan's body!
At this moment, Jiangnan's pitch-black eyes reflected a sea of stars!
He searched his body and pulled out a wolf tooth necklace, holding it high before his eyes!
Ever since Da Lang Mie had given this to him, Jiangnan had worn it all along. The wolf tooth had already been polished to a shine!
In the original reality, this necklace had become the only memento Xia Yao left for Jiangnan, and she had warned him not to open it!
Jiangnan had obediently not opened it, always carrying it with him...
At this moment, curiosity got the better of him. What was inside?
He grabbed the wolf tooth necklace and studied it carefully!
After fiddling with it for a while, he gently twisted the top of the wolf tooth necklace, and it actually opened!
Jiangnan's eyes widened, and he sat up to examine it closely!
So... the wolf tooth necklace was hollow, with a tightly rolled little note inside!
Because so much time had passed, the paper had already yellowed!
Jiangnan swallowed, carefully unrolled the note. On the small slip of paper was written a line!
"♡Xia Yao likes Jiangnan♡Likes him the most, the most~"
The moment he saw the note, Jiangnan's expression froze. His scalp tingled, and a numbing sensation shot straight from his spine to his crown!
His heart raced wildly, as if struck by something. His face flushed bright red!
So even back then, Xia Yao had...
Was this the secret hidden in the wolf tooth necklace?
It had been hidden for so long!
Jiangnan could no longer suppress the stirring in his chest. He didn't want to hold back anymore!
He suddenly stood up, his eyes even moist, grabbing the wolf tooth necklace and the note as he shot into the starry sky like an arrow!
=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(งᵒ̌口ᵒ̌)ง "Aaaaaaaaaah!"
...
Xia Yao's eyes were still a little red. Zhong Yingxue had comforted her well, and she had finally adjusted her mood!
She planned to go to Immortal Boat Star one more time, find Jiangnan, and tell him not to worry about her, to go with peace of mind. She'd just make up some lie about having unstable emotions during her special time or something!
Otherwise, even if Little Nan left, he would still be feeling bad, right?
She was heading toward Immortal Boat Star now, but couldn't help sighing:
(◞‸◟) "Ah~ I messed up. Why couldn't I hold it in..."
She sighed, annoyed, and scratched her head, then squeezed a sweet smile in the mirror!
But it still seemed a bit stiff, so she switched to a different one, practicing right there!
Just then, a flash of glassy light whooshed past Xia Yao!
Xia Yao was stunned!
The glassy light slammed on the brakes, turned around, and flew straight toward her!
Xia Yao was surprised. Little Nan?
She hurriedly hid the mirror and casually rubbed her eyes!
Jiangnan's figure materialized right in front of Xia Yao!
Xia Yao tilted her head:
(๑•̌◡•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "What's so urgent? Where were you going?"
"About earlier today... don't mind it, okay? I was just..."
Before she could finish, Jiangnan raised an eyebrow at her!
(๑◔◡◔ิ๑) "Hey~ Da Lang Mie, do you know what the luckiest thing in the world is?"
Xia Yao was dumbfounded. Why was he suddenly asking this?
(｡･ˇ～ˇ･｡) "Wh... what?"
Jiangnan smiled brilliantly: "The luckiest thing in the world is... the person you like also likes you~"
As he spoke, he opened his hand. In one palm lay the opened wolf tooth necklace, and in the other hand was the unfolded little note!
A sly smile played on his face~
Xia Yao was frozen. Something exploded in her chest. She stood there dumbfounded!
Jiangnan's face grew redder and redder, his eyes darting away as he peeked at Xia Yao's reaction!
(⑉◔﹏◔ิ⑉) "You... you should at least give me some reaction? I've been thinking about this for a long time!"
But seeing Jiangnan's flustered and shy expression, Xia Yao sniffled. Tears filled her eyes!
She tilted her head back and started crying loudly, crying as hard as she could, no longer holding back. She wailed!
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ Waaah~
Jiangnan was thrown into a panic, his face full of fluster!
੧੧(ᵒ̴̶̷﹏ᵒ̴̶̷٥) "You... y-you, why are you suddenly crying? Did I say something wrong? I... I can start over, okay?"
Xia Yao cried loudly as she sobbed:
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄口ก̀◦)‧º·˚ "I just barely managed to hold it back!"
"You guy! Finally! Finally said it, didn't you?"
Jiangnan scratched his head awkwardly:
୧(๑⁼̴﹏⁼̴) "I... I... I'm sorry... I..."
Just then, Xia Yao raised her hand and punched him right in the stomach, making Jiangnan go "Pwah!" and double over!
The Xia Yao who had been crying just a moment ago suddenly burst out laughing. Whether she was crying or laughing, no one could tell!
"Pwahahaha wu~ What a terrible way to confess! So corny!"
Jiangnan held his stomach, face full of embarrassment:
(￢﹏￢٥) "It's... it's not that corny, is it? Is it cornier than hiding a little note in a necklace?"
Xia Yao rubbed her eyes. Her earlobes were bright red!
But she looked straight into Jiangnan's eyes, her gaze full of love!
"But no matter how corny! I love it! I love it the most!"
With that, she stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Jiangnan, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him deeply on the lips!
This kiss! It was for the long wait and the love that had been suppressed in her heart all this time!
