"I'm leaving."
Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, reached out and touched her forehead, her expression somewhat blank.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's silly look, Tang Xue chuckled softly, her expression softening. "I'm leaving," she said again.
Lin Xiaoxiao grinned, her radiant smile seemingly eclipsing even the sun outside the window. "Be careful on the road."
Tang Xue didn't say anything more. She gave Lin Xiaoxiao a deep look before turning around abruptly and leaving with Li Yu.
Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously followed for a few steps, then quickly stopped, staring at the doorway, her smile vanishing instantly.
She sighed softly, feeling somewhat lost, but quickly composed herself and turned to look at the other people in the living room.
"I'm really sorry, I'm injured right now, and there are many things I can't do on my own. I'm going to cause a lot of trouble for everyone in the coming days."
Although Tang Xue had already asked several people for help before leaving, she should still make her stance clear.
"Alright, alright, you two are really being too polite." Lin Xin patted Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder and pulled her to sit down next to her.
She was a young girl who had been in love before, so she naturally knew how painful such a separation was for both people.
So she pulled Lin Xiaoxiao to sit next to her and talked to her about this and that, trying to distract Lin Xiaoxiao.
As for the others, they naturally understood Lin Xin's thoughts and were quite willing to cooperate with her, so the atmosphere among them was relatively harmonious.
However, Li Siyao, who hadn't spoken a word, seemed a bit out of place among the group, as she had only recently joined the family.
Furthermore, she herself doesn't have the habit of surfing the internet, so naturally she was unaware of the matter between Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao.
To be honest, Li Siyao was a little puzzled when she saw how reluctant the two of them were to part, but when she saw Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao's even more intimate actions, she suddenly realized something.
She was a little unsure, but she didn't feel comfortable asking, especially since she was new to the group and didn't know what topics to bring up.
But she didn't feel slow just because everyone else was chatting and ignoring her.
After all, Li Siyao is a relatively quiet person, and Tang Xue's departure today was too sudden.
Before this, they had no idea what was going on. The reason she came to participate in this program was for Lin Xin and Tang Xue.
Now one of the targets has left. Although Tang Xue said she would come back, it is uncertain when she will return.
Thinking of this, Li Siyao couldn't help but sigh, but then, remembering her previous conversation with Tang Xue, a slight smile appeared on her face.
Although the group was chatting, they didn't ignore Li Siyao. Instead, they kept thinking about what topic they should use to get Li Siyao to join them.
Seeing the smile on Li Siyao's face, Lin Xin asked with a smile.
Li Siyao wasn't stupid; she naturally understood that this was a topic the group had brought up to get her to join them, so she went along with their wishes.
The atmosphere among the guests was very harmonious, but the viewers were quite surprised when Tang Xue left the show, because they never expected her to leave halfway through.
Tang Xue's departure from the show was quite unexpected.
Tang Xue left the show without saying when she would return, thus occupying a spot on the show for nothing. Frankly, she should have just quit.
[Do you live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy? The production team hasn't complained at all, but you're jumping around like that.]
In other words, just mind your own business and don't always try to meddle in other people's affairs.
Seeing Miss Tang Xue and President Lin's reluctant farewell almost made me cry. When will our President Lin and Miss Tang Xue be able to appear together again?
You know what, I've discovered that Miss Tang Xue is a really courageous person. She clearly knows that she's live streaming, but she can still be so intimate with President Lin without any scruples.
Just like before, she knew it was a live broadcast, but she still admitted that she liked President Lin. Most people probably wouldn't have had that kind of courage.
[That's to say, this path is inherently difficult, and how many people have succumbed to reality? If I had had the courage of President Lin and Miss Tang Xue back then, I wouldn't have these regrets now.]
[To the person upstairs: If you still can't let go of that person, why not give yourself another chance? Of course, this assumes they're currently single.]
In this life, it's not easy to meet someone you truly love. If you separate for various reasons, it's truly a great pity.
You're right. In this relationship, I was always the cowardly one who gave in. I knew she was waiting for me, but I kept ignoring it. Looking back now, I realize I was such a jerk.
Sister, be brave!
[I will. Seeing Tang Xue and President Lin, I've realized what's most important to me. I'm going. Thank you everyone for your encouragement.]
Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao probably never imagined that someone would bravely pursue love because of them. If they knew, they would probably be very happy.

Chapter 125
===================
Tang Xue's departure was something that Lin Xiaoxiao found extremely difficult to adjust to, though she was a little better during the day.
Because the others were considerate of Lin Xiaoxiao's feelings, they would often pull her aside to chat and talk about interesting topics.
In addition, there were tasks assigned by the production team, so she didn't have much time to be sentimental during the day.
But when she returned to her room that evening, Lin Xiaoxiao's mood inevitably plummeted. During this time, she had grown accustomed to Tang Xue's company.
I've gotten used to that person's gentle voice occasionally ringing in my ears.
I've gotten used to snuggling in that warm embrace every night when I go to sleep.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Xiaoxiao touched the bed and sighed softly. She took out her phone, glanced at it, opened the chat window between the two of them, and frowned slightly.
Looking at the time on her phone, she sighed heavily again. Tang Xue had sent her a message after arriving at her destination, but after only a few words, Tang Xue stopped responding.
Lin Xiaoxiao sighed again unconsciously, her fingers tapping the phone screen without her noticing. She hesitated; she wanted to hear Tang Xue's voice, but she was also afraid of disturbing that person's work.
After hesitating for a while, I finally gave up the idea, picked up my pajamas, and went into the bathroom.
Coming out of the bathroom, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little down as she looked at her phone, which still had no messages.
But she didn't let her emotions linger. She rubbed her face hard, threw back the covers, and crawled into bed.
She picked up a book from the bedside table and started reading. It was only nine o'clock, and she didn't want to go to sleep so early. More importantly, she wanted to wait and see if Tang Xue would send her a message.
Although she was reading, Lin Xiaoxiao's mind was clearly not on the book, because she hadn't turned a single page since she opened it.
"I can't concentrate at all," Lin Xiaoxiao said helplessly, closing the book, burying her face in the blanket, and taking a deep breath.
My initially anxious heart gradually calmed down when I smelled that familiar fragrance.
When the time on her phone jumped to ten o'clock, Lin Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of regret.
Normally, this is the time when she and Tang Xue would go to sleep, but today, the person who would hold her while she slept was not by her side.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to stop waiting for Tang Xue's call, but she also knew very well that it was getting late.
Tang Xue hadn't called him yet, which meant she was still at work.
Most importantly, it's already so late, even if Tang Xue has finished work, there's absolutely no way she would contact him at this hour.
Thinking of the promise Tang Xue made to her before she left, Lin Xiaoxiao turned off the bedside lamp, covered herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes.
She didn't want Tang Xue to worry about her, so she would respect the agreement between her and Tang Xue.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought she would definitely have trouble sleeping tonight because Tang Xue wasn't by her side.
To her surprise, she slept very soundly, not as soundly as she had imagined, and slept straight through until dawn.
The moment Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, she was still a little incredulous. She blinked and pulled the blanket up over herself.
The familiar scent filled her nostrils, and a faint smile appeared on Lin Xiaoxiao's lips.
She didn't have insomnia and slept so comfortably, probably because she was covered with the same blanket Tang Xue had used and wearing the same pajamas Tang Xue had worn.
Picking up the phone from the bedside table, Tang Xue's eyes lit up. She sat up, her face beaming with undisguised excitement, and dialed Tang Xue's number without hesitation.
"Little one!"
The call was quickly connected, and Tang Xue's gentle voice reached Lin Xiaoxiao's ears, causing her lips to curve into a smile.
"Xiaoxue".
"Did you sleep well? Did you have insomnia last night?" Tang Xue's voice carried a hint of worry. She had never forgotten that Lin Xiaoxiao had suffered from insomnia during the time she was away from her.
"It's great." Lin Xiaoxiao's voice carried a hint of joy. "I thought I would have insomnia, but I didn't expect to sleep so well."
It must be because your scent still lingers in this room; it makes me feel like you're still here with me, that you haven't left.
After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao felt her face getting hot. After all, what she said did sound a little perverted.
Tang Xue also felt her face getting hot. She coughed lightly and said, "It's good that you didn't have insomnia. Go to bed early tonight and get some rest. I'll be checking up on you when I get back. If you don't behave, I'll punish you."
"How are you going to punish me?" Lin Xiaoxiao blurted out, but immediately realized her mistake.
As expected, Tang Xue's slightly cheerful voice reached her ears, causing Lin Xiaoxiao to subconsciously tense up.
"I'll make you stay in bed obediently for a few more days," Tang Xue's voice carried an indescribable allure.
Even though she wasn't even by her side, Lin Xiaoxiao felt her heart pounding incredibly fast, and her face burning so hot she felt like her head was about to steam.
"What are you thinking about? You're not thinking about something inappropriate for children, are you?" Tang Xue's voice was even more cheerful. Thinking of Lin Xiaoxiao's blushing face, Tang Xue's cheerful voice was also a little hoarse.
She longed to be by Lin Xiaoxiao's side right now, to be able to hug her, to be able to kiss her.
"I...I didn't think about anything inappropriate for children." Lin Xiaoxiao stammered, her tone sounding a little guilty.
But she stubbornly denied the images that had just appeared in her mind.
"Is that so?" Tang Xue chuckled softly.
"If you keep teasing me, I'm not talking to you anymore," Lin Xiaoxiao said, a little annoyed. "I'm hanging up."
"You're willing to part with me?" Tang Xue's eyes softened with a gentle smile. "Xiao Xiao, I miss you so much. Every minute and every second I'm away from you, I'm thinking of you."
Her voice was deep and gentle. Lin Xiaoxiao gripped her phone tightly, her eyes welling up with tears. "I miss you too. Sometimes I think about it and I really wish I could become your accessory, so you could always keep me with you."
The somewhat somber atmosphere between the two vanished the moment Lin Xiaoxiao uttered those words.
Tang Xue chuckled softly and said gently, "That won't do."
