For the past four years, he has come to visit her non-stop. Every time, he would carefully handle all kinds of little troubles for her, and would tell Mu Xuan over and over again to take good care of her, just because she is a woman who needs protection.
In the corner where she can't see, the sight that stays on her will become longer and longer, so long that she can feel it.
After suppressing it for too long, she wanted to hear his answer no matter what.
Why, be nice to her...
As if he didn't expect her to ask such a question, Zhuihun was stunned for a moment. He took it for granted, but now he couldn't find a suitable excuse to explain his behavior.
Mu Xin stared at him with burning eyes, as if to say, "Zhuhun, I won't allow you to escape."
Time stood still, in her waiting and his silence.
Looking at him disappointedly, Mu Xin turned around and asked, "Is it that difficult for you to answer?"
Zhuihun clenched his hands into fists and frowned, "Mu Xin..."
"Forget it, I don't want to hear it anymore." Mu Xin took a deep breath, turned around, and showed him a sweet smile, "Chasing the soul, stop here, don't be nice to me anymore, don't pay attention to me anymore.
In this way, I will have misunderstandings and expectations..."
Zhuihun gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tighter and tighter.
A brave and strong smile bloomed on Mu Xin's lips, "I can't be as rational as you and distinguish friendship from love. Every time I see you being nice to me, I get confused. After all, who are you?
Are you taking care of me as a friend, or... or..."
Still like her...
Mu Xin did not say the last sentence because her tears of humiliation had already made her choke.
Seeing her shaking shoulders, Chaihun's heart ached. He knew how strong this woman was. In the past few years, no matter what hardships she encountered, she would never cry in front of others.
He wanted to stretch out his hands to comfort her, but he still froze there.
"Mu Xin, you have no idea what kind of person I am." He lowered his head, looking quiet and forbearing.
Mu Xin asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you think I don't know you well enough after all these years?"
Zhuihun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Not enough, far from enough."
"Then tell me! Tell me what kind of person you are, tell me what happened to you!" Mu Xin was a little excited, and a bright blush spread across her beautiful cheeks.
Zhuihun took a deep breath and closed his eyes, "I fell in love with my sister."
"I've known this for a long time. I've known it since we were on the uninhabited island." Mu Xin's eyes stained with water mist looked at him steadily, "Hun, I know that feeling. Once, I
I love my cousin so much. But, so what? I let go and sincerely wish him the best, and I can pursue my own happiness again!"
"Mu Xin, you did a great job." Zhuihun opened his eyes, slowly shook his head, and laughed at himself, "But people like me don't deserve to be loved anymore."
He turned around sadly, opened the door and left.
"So, are you running away?"
Behind him, Mu Xin's voice of disappointment made him pause. He suppressed the complexity in his eyes and strode away.
Mu Xin sat weakly on the chair, lowered her head, and covered her face wet with tears.
Damn it, I told myself not to cry anymore! However, the tears still couldn't stop pouring out.
Chasing Soul, you coward...
Mu Xin spent the whole afternoon in a haze, either signing the wrong documents or giving the wrong instructions. She rubbed her forehead in annoyance, and finally handed over the work to the secretary. She picked up her bag and walked out of the company.
The sky was gloomy and the air pressure was extremely low. Mu Xin didn't drive and strolled on the street, her chest was full and she couldn't find a way out. She was so upset that she didn't notice the figure who was always following her...
I don’t know how long she walked, but when she came back to her senses, it was already dark and the lights were starting to turn on. When she looked up, she saw the sign of a street bar, and she walked in without thinking.
Sitting in front of the bar, she drank several drinks in a row. A single beauty with a sad face like her has always been a good target for beauty. After a while, there was a pretending gentleman beside her, "Miss, what's bothering you?"
Is it something? Do you want to find someone to talk to?"
Mu Xin ran her fair fingers through her hair, glanced sideways at him, and said one word, "Get out."
The man had a hint of anger, but he suppressed it and tried to force out a handsome smile, "Miss, I can guarantee that I will be a very good... listener."
His ambiguous hands had already been placed on her shoulders, wanting to take her into his arms.
Mu Xin frowned in disgust. Just when she wanted to twist his hand off, the man wailed like a slaughtering pig, "Ah..."
She was startled, opened her hazy eyes, turned around, and immediately ran into a pair of unusually deep eyes.
Zhuihun was dressed in black and his face was extremely ugly. He grabbed the man's wrist and pinched it with a little force, "Get out."
His voice contained murderous intent and was full of intimidation. The man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes,"
Letting go of his hand, the man fled the bar as if running away.
Mu Xin sneered, turned around, and drank carelessly, "What is this? Do you care like a friend?"
"You drank too much, I'll take you home." Zhuihun said with a stern face, took out the cup from her hand, took out the money and put it on the bar, then pulled her and walked out.
Mu Xin staggered a little, and struggled to break free. Her clear eyes showed no signs of confusion, "Please don't let me misunderstand you again, okay?"
Zhuihun's eyes darkened, he grabbed her hand tightly and took her into his arms.
Nestling in his arms, Mu Xin was stunned, "You..."
At this moment, a drunken man fell onto the spot where she was standing, causing a small commotion.
Realizing that he was just helping her out of "kindness", Mu Xin couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or angry. She bit her lip and stared at him, pushing him away forcefully, "I told you, you don't have to worry about it!" She turned around and walked back.
Zhuihun narrowed his eyes and stepped forward to pick her up. Regardless of her protests, he carried her out of the bar.
"Zhuihun!" Mu Xin screamed and beat his back with both hands. She had skills in her hands and her strength was stronger than that of ordinary women. Now she was angry again, so she punched him hard, making Zhuihun groan.
After a few calls, he managed to hold on.
He walked to the car, opened the door, and put her directly into the car.
"I don't want you to give it away!" Mu Xin pulled the car door and found that it was all locked by him. She was so angry that her eyes were about to spit fire. Zhuihun started the car and drove out steadily.
Mu Xin crossed her arms and stared at him, "What? Comradeship? Sorry, I don't accept it!"
