The Jianghu Diaries

My name is Jiang Ruxi. I once asked my senior brother, Ruan Xianxi, why we were both called Xiao Xi, and why our courtyard was called Linxi Manor, Master's pavilion Mengxi Pavilion, and Master's study Huanxi Studio.

There are many streams on Qinnan Mountain, but none of them are particularly special. Even the house at Linxi Manor isn't beside a stream, only a sheer cliff.

Senior Brother Ruan knew more than anyone, but he had no answer either.

One day, I asked Chen Jianxi the same thing. He told me, "It's still better than being called Little Mountain, Little Tree, Little Scallion, or Little Flower."

That convinced me.

Indeed, I refuse to be called Jiang Ruxi, with the xi changed to the word for scallion.

-

I really like Senior Brother Ruan, who grew up with me. I really, really like him.

Master sent the two of us down the mountain, and we traveled to four places, seeing all the sights of the martial world.

By the time I understood why we were called Xiao Xi,

my tears had soaked my clothes.
