Zhan Muchen didn't answer him immediately. He kept looking at the empty yard.
The layout of the plants and trees here is exquisite and not neat at all, but it does not give people a messy feeling.
The whole house has a bit of a retro style, half-new but not old, but if you look carefully you can still see something strange in it. There are many mechanisms installed in the whole big house.
Does it mean that when he comes to get his woman back in ten days, he still has to pass the test of all these organs?
What are these little guys thinking? They actually made an ordinary house look like a battlefield, not for defense, but as if they were specifically trying to tease people who entered the door.
He could imagine the mischievousness in their hearts when they designed these mechanisms. There are probably many people who have suffered hardship here.
After a long while, he turned around and walked towards the car: "I haven't visited the resort invested by Zhan in Taichuan for a long time. Let's go and see the progress."
It was agreed that it would be ten days, but he was not sure whether he would secretly visit her. Who knew that little woman could always easily occupy his heart?
Ten days is too long.
…
Yuxi came back, and everything was as before. Ajin and Luoluo were playing some unknown game in the hall, and the remote control was still lost in the hall.
She didn't say hello to them before she came back. She only made an inexplicable phone call after getting off the plane in Taichuan.
Today is not a public day, but everyone seems to be very free.
Inexplicably busy in the kitchen, Yu Xi felt a trace of sadness in her heart when she saw his obviously thinner figure.
It's just that we haven't seen him for more than a month, and he is thinner than before. Although his body is still tall and strong, his face has obviously lost a lot of weight.
She walked behind him silently and just looked at him, not daring to hug him like before.
After experiencing all this, the pure feelings I had with him have become complicated.
"Are you coming back for vacation, or are you never leaving?" He didn't look back, and was still busy chopping vegetables.
When I heard his figure, I finally couldn't hold back the tears I had been holding for a long time and slid down.
She ran over, stretched out a pair of small hands and passed through his waist, hugging him tightly.
She didn't speak, and he didn't say anything either. After being slightly stunned, he was still busy with the work in hand.
"Are you hungry? You will eat soon. You can wait for me outside."
Her voice was still so gentle, with a hint of endearment in it, but why did she always feel that the situation now was inexplicably completely different from before?
After sniffing and wiping her tears on his clothes, she let go of him, retreated to his side, and looked at his still busy figure: "Can I stay here from now on?"
Inexplicably, he glanced sideways at her, tugged his thin lips lightly, and revealed a helpless smile:
"This is your place, what's wrong with it? If you're not happy in Zhanyuan, then come back. It's just one more person's meal."
"Shouldn't you be very busy? It's only Thursday, why don't you go to work?" It's only five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not time to get off work yet.
Inexplicably, his fingertips paused slightly, and then he continued his movements: "Come back and cook for you."
After a pause, he asked again: "Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"
Although I only glanced at her briefly just now, that face and even every expression on her face have been deeply etched in my mind.
It's not that I don't care, I just don't want to see more.
"What's wrong with you?" She gently tugged on his sleeve and looked up at him: "Why do I always feel that you are different from before when I come back this time?"
Inexplicably, he put down the kitchen knife, threw the carrots into the pot and stir-fried several times before he had time to answer her: "What's different?"
Yu Xi couldn't tell what was different. Anyway, it just felt different.
She muttered, "You have been deliberately alienating me."
He smiled indifferently: "You are someone else's woman, why should I be so close to you?"
"Are you angry?" Although there was a smile in his eyes, why did he always feel so lonely when he smiled? "Inexplicable, what happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just that you're back and I'm so excited that I can't get used to it..."
"Inexplicable, tell me the truth!" She wanted to go over and hug him but was afraid that he would reject her. Although he would never reject her, this time she really felt his silent alienation from her.
Biting her lower lip, she said with a trace of resentment: "You have a girlfriend, right? It's just a girlfriend. Do you want to resist me like this?"
It was as if she were a poisonous snake and beast. Although he did not refuse her hugs and touches, when she hugged him, his body clearly stiffened unconsciously.
If it is really because he has a girlfriend, there is nothing wrong with it. If another woman hugged Zhan Muchen like this, she would definitely be very unhappy.
There was a dimness in her eyes, and she sighed softly. Why did she want to think of that man for no reason? Didn't she agree to never see him again?
Inexplicably, she couldn't find the warmth she had before here. After standing aside and watching him busy for a while, Yu Xi left the kitchen and returned to the hall dejectedly.
In the hall, Nangong Jin and Bi Luo were still playing games. Looking at the two cartoon characters on the screen who were fighting inseparably, she suddenly felt a little depressed.
"Why are you ignoring me?" No matter how dull she is, she can still feel that everyone clearly doesn't like her when she comes back this time.
Ah Jin no longer pestered her and made trouble with her like before, and Bi Luo ignored her and didn't even look at her.
Facing Bi Luo's look that blamed her for being an "idiot", she frowned and snorted coldly: "Why don't you go back to Dongfang City to be with Brother Jihao? What are you doing here?"
Bi Luo shrugged and gave her a look: "Why should I go to Dongfang City? I don't even like that man anymore."
Yu Xi originally wanted to scold her for being hypocritical, but there seemed to be no trace of anger in her eyes.
She moved her lips, showing a hint of surprise, and unconsciously walked to sit next to her, looking at her profile: "You don't like brother Jihao anymore?"
How is that possible? Weren't the two of us getting along well when we were in Dongfang City?
Although there were some misunderstandings in the underground palace, everything that happened in the underground palace was not Murong Jihao's fault. She had no reason to resent him and draw a clear line with him because of this.
After listening to her words, Bi Luo suddenly put down the remote control in his hand and looked at her sideways:
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you lose your memory? How do you know Murong Jihao and even call him Brother Jihao?"
These few words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting her head in a mess.
How could she remember everything that happened in Dongfang City? How could she know the relationship between brother Jihao and Luoluo? How could she remember what happened in the underground palace?
Her consciousness became increasingly confused, and she held her head hard, her face twisted in pain.
Her mind was filled with scarlet. It was she who stabbed the dagger into Uncle Mu Chen's heart with her own hands, not just once, but even twice.
During that battle, she saw with her own eyes that her beloved Uncle Mu Chen was crushed by a falling boulder.
The underground palace collapsed and he disappeared from her sight.
The last time I looked at him, he was slowly closing his eyes, with a happy smile on his lips.
That smile was because he saw that she was safe.
Uncle Mu Chen, she once watched him die in front of her.
