After Murong Jing left, Mu Qing did not return to the empty courtyard and followed everyone back to the place where the girls of Wanhua Valley lived.
Wang Yeqing had already left to discuss some matters with Chen Zhuo. Huai Fenghua led Mu Qing towards a small courtyard. He suddenly stopped in front of the courtyard door, turned around and said softly: "Shaoyao is very emotionally unstable these days. Forget it, we won’t see her for the time being.”
Mu Qing looked at Huai Feng Hua in surprise. Hua Feng Hua glared at him and whispered: "You brat, don't you know what Shao Yao thinks about you? Look at what you did."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, still looking surprised. Huaifenghua's slender eyebrows were raised, and when she was about to teach this stupid boy a lesson, a sweet voice suddenly sounded from behind her: "Master!"
Zhang Shaoyao didn't know when he appeared behind Huaifenghua. He was leaning in front of the door, revealing a cute little face.
Huaifenghua stuck out her tongue, and without turning around to say hello to her apprentice, she coughed lightly and said, "I still have something to do, you guys have a good chat."
Before she could finish her words, Huaifenghua slipped away.
Zhang Shaoyao looked at Huaifenghua's running figure with a complicated face and said, "Master is weirder than me sometimes. Brother Aliang, don't think too much about it."
Seeing the girl's single clothes, Mu Qing put his hand on her arm and walked towards the house, asking, "Are Uncle Zhang and Aunt Xiaoya's condition better?"
Zhang Shaoyao squinted at Mu Qing's hand and replied calmly: "It's my greatest luck that they can still be ordinary people."
For no reason, Mu Qing understood the resentment in her voice and quietly looked her over.
In the gradually brightening morning light, Zhang Shaoyao had a goose-egg plain face, and her pure and fair skin was as tender as a splash of water. Mu Qing postponed his plan to pinch her face and said in a deep voice: "Shaoyao, I'm sorry, I haven't been able to Come to see you."
"You are a great hero. You have avenged me and saved many people. I know you are very busy." Zhang Shaoyao still said in a very calm tone.
Mu Qing was stunned and didn't know what to say. Zhang Shaoyao raised his head and asked, "What? Aren't you good at talking to women? Why are you so speechless when you come to me?"
The two of them kept walking and entered a room on the right. Clothes were hung on the hangers behind the screen. There was a faint calming aroma floating in the air. Mu Qing realized it later and relieved his embarrassment and said, "I want to go." Look at Uncle Zhang and the others."
After Zhang Shaoyao returned to the screen, he put on his outer clothes and responded: "My father and the others finally fell asleep. Let's come and see him later. Oops——"
After the sound of hitting something, Zhang Shaoyao became silent.
Mu Qing was so anxious that he rushed behind the screen and saw her squatting on the ground touching her ankle. He quickly approached her and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did your foot hit her?"
Zhang Shaoyao's little face turned pale with pain, Mu Qing did not dare to be careless, picked her up by the waist and put her on the bed. When he reached out to touch her feet, Zhang Shaoyao retracted her feet.
"What's wrong? Let me take a look for you." Mu Qing asked in surprise.
The green part of Zhang Shaoyao's right ankle gradually appeared. She could use her zhenqi to disperse the congestion, but she retracted her foot into her skirt and stared at Mu Qing without saying a word.
Mu Qing's outstretched hand froze in the air, not knowing what the girl meant.
Zhang Shaoyao asked: "Don't you know that girls' feet cannot be touched by men casually? I heard from my senior sister that feet also represent a girl's chastity in the world."
Mu Qing replied: "That's because Senior Sister Ning has watched too many Jianghu romances. Besides, I'm your brother, not just any man. Be good and obedient."
When Mu Qing spoke, he gently held Zhang Shaoyao's calf with one hand, and rubbed her ankle with the other hand exuding bursts of heat. Zhang Shaoyao watched Mu Qing's movements quietly throughout the whole process, even though his slender eyebrows were in pain. They all jumped up, even though they were biting their lips and keeping silent, Mu Qing noticed it and asked softly: "Shaoyao, are you angry with me?"
"Why should I be angry with you?"
"Well……"
Mu Qing also stopped moving his hands, raised his head and looked at Zhang Shaoyao, and stopped making some predictions.
Zhang Shaoyao turned his head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly took his foot out of Mu Qing's hand and kicked Mu Qing's chest angrily.
"Well."
Hearing Zhang Shaoyao's cry of pain, Mu Qing could only lean back. Before Mu Qing could react, Zhang Shaoyao had already gotten up and threw herself at Mu Qing's chest, and the two of them lay on the bed together.
Mu Qing's hand froze on Zhang Shaoyao's shoulder, and finally fell down, patting her shoulder gently and saying, "Get up."
Zhang Shaoyao buried his little face into Mu Qing's chest, rubbed it hard and replied, "I don't."
Mu Qing was helpless, feeling the girl's light weight, feeling a pity in his heart, arranging the hair on her shoulders with his fingers, and said: "Being busy is not an excuse. Brother Aliang has indeed not come to see you once during this time. It's because I'm such a jerk. ”
Zhang Shaoyao, who was crawling on his chest, was silent for a longer time. The silence made Mu Qing a little scared, and then he finally heard a faint cry.
"When I was staying in the tunnel, I kept thinking about whether you were injured, and I also thought about you coming to see me for a long time, but you never came, and I thought you had forgotten me..."
Feeling the warmth on her chest, Mu Qing felt even more pity. She stretched out her hand and patted Zhang Shaoyao's back. She didn't know what else to say. In the end, she just stretched out her hands and hugged her tightly. .
Zhang Shaoyao seemed to feel his answer, tilted her head to rest on his shoulder, and became quiet again.
Until Mu Qing thought she had really fallen asleep this time, Zhang Shaoyao suddenly shouted: "Brother."
"Well, are your feet still hurting?"
"You can sleep with me."
"What?!"
"I said, just sleep with me."
With a bang, Mu Qing pushed the girl to the inside of the bed and left the bed.
He stood by the bed, looking at the girl with an embarrassed and apologetic look on her face, whose slender eyebrows were arched in pain. As soon as he stretched out his hand to help her, he immediately retracted it.
"Shaoyao, I have always regarded you as my sister..."
"I know, I have always regarded you as my brother. But you are not my real brother, right? I will always grow up, right? Why can't I always be with you?"
Mu Qing was like a lost traveler who had found his way, holding on to the girl's last words and persuading her: "I am your brother, we are a family, and we can always be together."
When two people are alone, what they fear most is sudden silence.
There were still light traces of tears on Zhang Shaoyao's face. Her beautiful little face was looking at Mu Qing. Slowly, slowly, a crystal teardrop ran out from her pure eyes. The tears fell quickly and landed on the hem of her untied skirt with a clatter.
Countless tears fell down her face.
Mu Qing was completely defeated by this silent and tearful look at each other, his eyes were fascinated, and he looked back at the time he spent with the girl, bit by bit, and said seriously: "Shaoyao, I like it when you are making trouble around me. I also liked when you cried to me after you failed in refining alchemy, but this kind of liking is not that kind of emotion..."
"I know, you must like women with big breasts, butts, thighs, and thin waists, and you dislike me for being unfeminine."
After the girl finished speaking in a flurry of words, Mu Qing was greeted with a dumbfounded face.
He opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment before explaining: "Brother, it's not what you think!"
Zhang Shaoyao wiped away the reluctant tears on his face with the back of his fair hand, and sneered: "Haha, you hesitated! Senior sister is indeed right, there is no man who is not careless. Do you have three women now? Really? I want to see what the other two sisters-in-law look like.”
Mu Qing only felt that two arrows had hit his knee, and he felt a little ashamed. He simply turned around and said, "Shaoyao, take a good rest."
Before the words could be finished, Mu Qing left the room, leaving the girl alone on the bed feeling dejected.
