"Qianqian, just forget those things you shouldn't remember."
This is what Lu Yuan emphasized to Mu Qian repeatedly.
She never mentioned Lu Yuchuan in front of her, but Mu Qian knew what she wanted to forget.
In fact, she has almost forgotten about it, hasn't she?
Regarding those things, when she thinks about them again, it seems that there are only a few messy pictures left in her mind. In a few days, even these messy pictures may disappear. By then, what will she remember?
Mu Qian wasn't worried about herself at all.
At night, after the short digestion time after dinner, Mu Qian touched the bed again.
Huo Jinxi walked into the bedroom from the study and happened to see her getting into bed, but he just asked lightly: "Are you sleepy again?"
"Yeah." Mu Qian responded, and then said, "Whatever you want to do, go to the study and do it. Don't disturb me when I sleep."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi just responded, "Go to sleep, I won't disturb you."
When Mu Qian heard this, she couldn't help but glance at him.
Ever since she started to fall asleep, Huo Jinxi seemed to have become extremely indulgent to her. Even if she lay in bed twenty hours a day, he didn't seem to have any objections.
Mu Qian was naturally happy and relaxed about this. After shrugging her shoulders, she lay down on the bed with peace of mind.
In the past few days, she had become very familiar with sleeping. She had mastered the unique skill of falling asleep when her hand was on the pillow, and this day was no exception.
When Huo Jinxi returned to the bedroom after finishing his work, Mu Qian's breathing was soft and long, as if she had fallen asleep.
Huo Jinxi walked to the bed, lowered his head, and kissed her gently on the lips. In the end, he only left her a little bit, stared down at her, and stayed for a long time.
Mu Qian didn't notice at all, she was still trapped in her sleep, her face calm.
Huo Jinxi kissed her gently on the lips again, then stood up and walked into the bathroom.
After he took a shower and wiped his hair, he came out of the bathroom. He looked up and suddenly found that Mu Qian, who was lying on the bed, was gone.
Huo Jinxi suddenly frowned, glanced at the slippers she still placed beside the bed, stepped forward to pick up the slippers, and a nightgown, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
There was no sign of her on the bedroom floor, and there was no one downstairs. Huo Jinxi turned to go upstairs and towards the terrace.
The door to the terrace opened outwards. Huo Jinxi walked in slowly and saw Mu Qian sitting barefoot on a chair.
She sat back in her chair and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, almost losing her mind.
Huo Jinxi walked forward, bent down and put the slippers at her feet, and then sat down next to her.
Mu Qian suddenly came back to her senses and turned to look at him. Her expression was still calm, but there was a hint of confusion.
"I thought you were asleep," Huo Jinxi said.
"I fell asleep." Mu Qian replied, "But... I suddenly woke up."
Huo Jinxi put the nightgown he brought over her body. This was originally an extremely natural action, but Mu Qian's body froze slightly.
Huo Jinxi noticed it, but didn't react much. He just held her hand in his palm and asked, "Why did you wake up suddenly?"
"I don't know." Mu Qian leaned on his shoulder, raised her eyes, and looked at the moon in the sky, "I just know that when I woke up, I saw the moon hanging in the sky..."
After a long pause, she continued: "Huo Jinxi, I also saw a moon like this on the boat where Lu Yuchuan fled."
She really couldn't remember it at first, but when she opened her eyes and saw the crescent moon, those blurry images suddenly came into her mind clearly -
She was so dizzy from vomiting due to seasickness that her limbs were weak and her mind was dizzy. After she was exhausted, she could only lie down in a corner of the cabin, looking for a chance to breathe.
Lying in that position, she could see the crescent moon in the sky through a small window.
She stared at the crescent moon for a long time. Later, probably when the wind and waves calmed down and the ship gradually stabilized, she finally lost her tiredness and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, there was suddenly someone beside her.
The man was leaning against the cabin, sitting above her head, looking down at her.
She didn't know how long he sat in that position, nor how long he looked at her. She just sat up suddenly and tried to stay away from him, but suddenly found that she had an extra coat on her body.
The light in the cabin was dim, but Mu Qian could still recognize it at a glance. It was the one Lu Yuchuan wore when he was on the island.
At this moment, this dress was covering her body.
Mu Qian slowly closed her eyes and just threw the dress to Lu Yuchuan.
Later, Mo Yan appeared at the door of the cabin, took a look at the situation inside, and said to Lu Yuchuan: "Yuchuan, it's still early, do you want to sleep for a while?"
After a while, Lu Yuchuan responded lightly, stood up and walked away.
Mo Yan stared at her for a few times, her eyes becoming more anxious and disgusted, and then she slammed the cabin door.
Mu Qian didn't sleep anymore, she just sat there, quietly looking at the crescent moon in the sky through the small window.
Until the overwhelming feeling hit her again, she habitually threw herself at the small bucket next to her and vomited for a long time, but all she could spit out was bitter and sparse jaundice water.
I wonder what will happen if a person vomits even the jaundice water?
Mu Qian was thinking vaguely, but not long after, she suddenly heard the voice of someone outside the cabin telling them to dock——
"It's obvious that there are still more than two hours to reach his original destination, why did he suddenly dock?" Mu Qian suddenly turned to look at Huo Jinxi, as if she wanted to get an answer from him.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand to take her into his arms and said slowly, "Maybe only he himself knows about this issue."
Mu Qian leaned on his shoulder. After being quiet for a moment, tears suddenly fell -
"Maybe I know it too?"
Her tone remained calm, letting the tears slide down her cheeks and drip into Huo Jinxi's neck.
"The ship sailed for a long time, enough for him to think clearly about many things, and enough for him to think of many people."
"He had already planned the outcome from the moment he ordered the ship to dock."
"That's why he shot and killed the people around him one after another while he was on the run."
"That was his last madness... He forced everyone to turn against him, and even... forced me to kill him."
"He clearly knows that what I hate him most is that he killed my father. He also used the tragic situation of my father before his death to stimulate me and force me to shoot. If I shoot, he can confirm that I am indeed him.
My daughter, I can be very much like him; if I don’t shoot, he can also confirm that it’s because he is my father, so I won’t shoot...”
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi just silently hugged Mu Qian tightly and gently rubbed her hair.
She remembered everything that happened in those days, but she just didn't want to think about it or admit it.
So she would rather sleep to numb herself.
But no matter how much you sleep, you will eventually wake up.
Huo Jinxi waited patiently for two days, and finally waited for the moment when she woke up.
"Whether I fired or not, it was all part of his plan. He didn't need to point the gun at me anymore..." Mu Qian said slowly, "So, there were no bullets in the gun he pointed at me.
