Shukuang listened to Feng Rusong's question and took a cautious look at Xi Honglei. Feeling the scrutinizing gazes directed at him by Feng Rusong and Xi Honglei, Shukuang licked his dry lower lip and smiled.
, said nothing.
"I'm asking you kid, why are you retreating?" Feng Rusong glared at Shu Kuang in displeasure and asked sternly: "Let me ask you, are you helping my precious apprentice, or are you helping that bastard An Ye?"
Shu Kuang shrank his neck in embarrassment, feeling that this problem was a bit serious. In Shu Kuang's heart, Mu Yunmeng was far more dangerous than Feng Ruosong and Xi Honglei, but now that Mu Yunmeng is not around, if Shu Kuang said
If he wants to help Mu Yunmeng, there will definitely be no good results. But if he wants to help Honglei, with Mu Yunmeng's jealous temper, he will not be in a good place in the future...
Shukuang coughed twice and looked at Xi Honglei with a silly smile. Seeing Xi Honglei sitting on the chair with a slight smile and staring straight at himself, Shukuang's mouth twitched and said knowingly: "Of course it is.
Help me, girl, do you even need to ask?!"
"You know what's going on! We must all come together!" Feng Rusong nodded with satisfaction, pulled Shu Kuang over, and began to discuss in a low voice how to deal with Mu Yunmeng.
Xi Honglei listened to the two people muttering, and although she kept smiling on her face, she was still uneasy in her heart.
Mu Yunmeng left just like that. What was he thinking? Where did he go?
Mu Yunmeng walked out of the inn, looked up at the room where Xi Honglei was, and sighed heavily. What Xi Honglei just said kept recurring in Mu Yunmeng's mind. It was because he didn't give her enough.
A sense of security, or in her eyes, is he not worthy of her reliance at all?
This is the first time Mu Yunmeng has encountered this kind of thing in so many years. Mu Yunmeng never thought that one day he would be made dizzy by a woman.
The words that made her cry, maybe they would never be together in the future, made Mu Yunmeng's heart suddenly lift. She thought that besides him, who else would dare to touch her in this life?
Mu Yunmeng raised the corners of her mouth and smiled coldly, then raised her hand and pressed her temples, thinking of the strange man who had dinner with Xi Honglei today.
Who is that man? Since he recognizes Xi Honglei's true face, it means that he has also been in the capital, right? Did he follow him here, or is there some other reason?
Mu Yunmeng stood there and thought for a while, then set off to investigate Jinyu's affairs. It was already an hour after he found Jinyu's residence.
Mu Yunmeng looked at the simple little courtyard in front of him and the only room in the courtyard. He walked slowly to the door. Mu Yunmeng gently knocked on the door latch. After hearing no sound, he pushed the door open.
Door.
Walking into the door with light steps, Mu Yunmeng immediately saw Jinyu lying motionless on the table. He walked over with a gloomy look. When Mu Yunmeng saw the portrait on the table, his eyes flashed.
Jinyu may have heard the sound of the door opening, or he may have been shocked by the cold air emanating from Mu Yunmeng's body. In short, he opened his eyes at the right time.
Raising her head and looking at Mu Yunmeng in front of her, Jinyu thought for a moment, then opened her eyes wide in realization, stood up suddenly, and said, "Are you Miss Xi's friend...?"
Mu Yunmeng did not speak, but his eyes fell on the two portraits of red tears painted by Jin Yu on the table. Jin Yu followed his line of sight and immediately put away the paintings in a hurry and explained: "Master, please don't misunderstand.
, Miss Xi is my savior, this portrait is just what I wanted to draw and give to her, there is no other intention!"
"A lifesaver?" Mu Yunmeng raised her eyebrows and asked softly, "When did she save your life?"
When Jinyu saw Mu Yunmeng asking, she honestly told her the experience of getting to know Xi Honglei. Jinyu and Mu Yunmeng looked at each other, and he would be extremely careful about every word before he said it.
I thought about it twice in my mind, for fear of making some mistakes and being suspected by Mu Yunmeng.
Mu Yunmeng's scrutinizing eyes never left Jin Yu's face. After Jin Yu finished explaining the cause and effect of the incident, Mu Yunmeng stood up and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to ask Jin Yu for something.
Jin Yu looked at Mu Yunmeng confusedly, not realizing what he meant for a long time. After Mu Yunmeng said the word "portrait", Jin Yu reluctantly handed over the two portraits.
.
"I originally wanted to give this portrait to Miss Xi, but I have given it to you, sir." Jin Yu said to Mu Yunmeng with a slight smile, but what she got in exchange was Mu Yunmeng's cold eyes.
Mu Yunmeng held the portrait in silence, and after taking a deep look at Jinyu, turned around and left.
After Jin Yu sent Mu Yunmeng away, she patted her chest fearfully. Back in the room, Jin Yu sat dejectedly at the desk, recalling the scene where she and Mu Yunmeng had just been in the same room, and couldn't help but murmur with emotion.
He murmured to himself: "It's too scary. You should never be an enemy of such a person..."
Mu Yunmeng walked slowly on the way back holding Jinyu's portrait. As for what Jinyu said, that he just wanted to thank Xi Honglei for his life-saving grace, Mu Yunmeng only found it funny.
According to what Jin Yu said, Xi Honglei was just bored and met an injustice. After Jinyu left the capital, was he so sure that he would meet Xi Honglei? Moreover, Mu Yunmeng only looked at those two portraits.
After just two glances, I can be sure that they were not painted at the same time. Who can tell clearly what Jinyu is thinking?
Mu Yunmeng, who has always acted cautiously, did not believe Jin Yu's one-sided words. After all, he and Xi Honglei were at a critical moment now. What if Shu Rumei's people really discovered their whereabouts?
, which is not a good thing either.
Mu Yunmeng wandered outside all afternoon and did not return to the inn until after dark. When he walked near the inn, Mu Yunmeng saw Shu Kuang standing at the door of the inn letting out air. Looking at Shu Kuang, he saw his figure.
After that, he quickly turned around and ran into the inn. Mu Yunmeng followed him in confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Shukuang Gourd.
Shu Kuang ran upstairs in a panic, panting and reported to Feng Rusong and Xi Honglei: "I'm back, I'm back!"
After hearing Shu Kuang's words, Feng Rusong geared up and said to Xi Honglei: "Don't be afraid, disciple, there is a master who will make the decision for you!"
The corners of Xi Honglei's mouth twitched stiffly and she made no sound. After Mu Yunmeng opened the door and walked in, Xi Honglei still sat there in the same posture as before, with his head lowered, reading a book.
Mu Yunmeng stood at the door of the room, watching Feng Rusong and Shu Kuang standing in front of Xi Honglei on the left and right, looking at him fiercely, Mu Yunmeng suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
Mu Yunmeng's smile didn't matter, but Shu Kuang and Feng Ruosong felt uneasy in their hearts. You know what kind of person Mu Yunmeng is usually. Except when he talks to Xi Honglei, you rarely see him smile. He
Now I suddenly laugh, what does it mean?
Shu Kuang and Feng Rusong glanced at each other uneasily, and then looked at Mu Yunmeng in unison, staying firmly in front of Xi Honglei.
"What are you two planning to do?" Mu Yunmeng leaned against the door, stretched out her long legs, and asked softly: "You want to join forces with this girl to deal with me?"
"That's right, how about it?" Feng Rusong raised his chin provocatively and looked at Mu Yunmeng disdainfully. "If you dare to bully my precious disciple, I won't let you go."
"Am I bullying her?" Mu Yunmeng repeated Feng Rusong's words and curled her lips. "It seems that the person being bullied now is not your precious apprentice, but me."
"What, what do you mean?" Shukuang panicked when he heard Mu Yunmeng's words. Putting away his guarded posture, Shukuang suddenly turned his head to look at Xi Honglei, who had already raised his head, and asked, "What's going on?"
Xi Honglei ignored Shu Kuang and looked straight at Mu Yunmeng. Seeing Mu Yunmeng with a faint smile on his face, as if nothing had happened, the wind was light and the wind was calm, and Shu Kuang spoke,
Then he suddenly looked at himself, paused, and threw the thing in his hand over.
Xi Honglei took what Mu Yunmeng threw over and opened it with a frown. After seeing the portrait above, Xi Honglei asked doubtfully: "Did you draw it?"
"Is it possible?" Mu Yunmeng stood up straight, glanced at Xi Honglei, and whispered: "Master Jin asked me to pass it on to you."
After saying that, Mu Yunmeng turned around and left the room.
"Hey, girl, what's going on?" Feng Rusong, who was fully prepared to fight Mu Yunmeng, was confused.
Xi Honglei lowered his head and looked at the two portraits in his hands carefully, and sighed with a headache. What on earth did that stupid scholar want to do?
Feng Rusong reluctantly left Xi Honglei's room under the pull of Shu Kuang. Xi Honglei stayed quietly in the room. After more than half an hour, he couldn't sit still.
Throwing down the portrait in her hand, Xi Honglei bit her lip and walked out of the room cautiously, arriving at the door of Mu Yunmeng's room.
She listened to the sounds in Mu Yunmeng's room as timidly as a thief. When Xi Honglei heard Mu Yunmeng's deep voice coming slowly, she suddenly froze, took a deep breath, and resigned to her fate.
He opened the door and walked in.
"Is something wrong?" Mu Yunmeng was sitting by the window, blowing in the cool breeze, looking outside. Without looking back, he was talking to Xi Honglei behind him. There was a thick, lingering gloom in Mu Yunmeng's eyes.
.
Xi Honglei walked slowly behind Mu Yunmeng, struggled with herself for a long time, and finally spoke. "Still angry?"
When Mu Yunmeng heard Xi Honglei's words, he turned his head to look at her and asked softly: "What do you think?"
"I……"
"Go back to the house." Mu Yunmeng interrupted Xi Honglei directly. He was not only angry with Xi Honglei, but also sulking with himself. "In the future, you are not allowed to be alone with me after dark.
In a room.”
"Why?" Xi Honglei asked reflexively without thinking.
"Because I don't want you to drink that stuff again."
