Chapter 60

"...I'll merge souls with you." 

The moment Zasiok declared that, his parents appeared relieved and happy. Hana decided to spread the joy as well, smiling along with his parents whereas, Xue remained indifferent, opening up his hand and summoning out his red marble again. 

Cecil was the only person that appeared troubled. 

Xue started to approach Zasiok when Cecil intercepted his path, stretching her arm out and dragging Zasiok away gently. His parents were taken aback by the sudden intrusion, along with Hana.

"Zasiok, come here for a second."

"Ce-Cecil?"

Xue halted in his steps, blinking in shock before narrowing his eyes at the place where Cecil's hand was holding Zasiok's arm. He watched as Cecil brought Zasiok to a corner of the hut, allowing some privacy to themselves, and he felt an itch in his chest as he saw them together. 

He knew that itch in his chest means that he disliked seeing Cecil together with Zasiok, alone.
