The setting sun is about to end, the afterglow on the street recedes, and a chill suddenly sets in.
Mu Qing hugged Murong Jing a little tighter, and Murong Jing moved her face on his shoulder and continued to remain silent.
Mu Qing breathed in her breath and looked down at the ground.
The shadows of him and Murong Jing were dimming with the skylight, and they did not separate until they finally disappeared.
Mu Qing did not want to disturb this scene by saying anything. Just when he thought that the relationship between the two was like this shadow and would never be separated day and night, Murong Jing took the initiative to leave his arms.
She raised her head, her expression unclear in the dim night. Mu Qing could only look at her eyes that competed with the night.
"We don't want to see each other again."
Mu Qing's heart contracted suddenly and he said dullly: "What did you say?"
Murong Jing narrowed her eyes and replied firmly, word for word: "I said, let's not see each other again."
Mu Qing grabbed Murong Jing's shoulders with both hands, "Why?"
Murong Jing frowned slightly and looked at Mu Qing without saying anything.
Mu Qing was the first to be defeated in this silent confrontation. His hands left Murong Jing's shoulders and hung down feebly.
Murong Jing looked at him deeply, and was about to turn around and leave, when Mu Qing suddenly grabbed her hand.
As if it was difficult to breathe, Mu Qing's chest rose and fell several times before asking: "Is it because of Wei Rui?"
Murong Jing shook her head and said, "This is no longer important."
Mu Qing was sure that this was the reason, and said in a low mood: "I'm just a bastard, but I don't want to lose you. Can you give me a chance? As long as you don't leave me, I can promise you anything you say." .”
Murong Jing looked at Mu Qing, whose hands had lost control, her eyes flashed, she turned her head and said in disappointment: "When did you learn to tell lies to me? You are no longer the Mu Qing I know."
Murong Jing wanted to break away, but Mu Qing grabbed her hand and refused to let go, saying anxiously: "Everything I said is true, I have never lied to you!"
Murong Jing froze, and after a moment of silence, she said in a cold tone: "Okay! Then I want you to go and make it clear to Miss Liu now, and you will no longer have anything to do with her from now on. Can you do it?"
"I..." Mu Qing was speechless.
Murong Jing smiled inexplicably and said, "Are you thinking now why I have become so mean?"
"No." Mu Qing still refused to let Murong Jing go and left directly, saying seriously: "Can you give me some time?"
"Let's forget it." Murong Jing suddenly lost all patience, forced herself away from Mu Qing, took a few steps back and stood still: "The relationship between us is not something that can be solved by time."
"I know you can't do it, and you don't have to worry about how to stabilize me."
Mu Qing looked at Murong Jing, who seemed a little unfamiliar, and thought for a moment that she might have used all her tenderness in that silent time.
The current Murong Jing is still the woman he loves, but now she may have said goodbye and no longer intends to have anything to do with him.
Murong Jing looked at Mu Qing, who suddenly became helpless. Her originally serious and calm tone showed a slight ups and downs, and she called softly: "Mu Qing."
Mu Qing thought Murong Jing had changed his attention and looked at her expectantly.
Murong Jing sighed softly: "Miss Liu is a very good girl. If you really want to be with her for the rest of your life, you must learn to be single-minded. Otherwise, you will still face the same choice as now, and even face many problems." Difficulty, have you ever thought about it?”
Murong Jing left. After she finished speaking, she seemed not to want to hear an answer from Mu Qing, so she walked towards the end of the street. This time Mu Qing could not find any reason to follow her.
The next day, Mu Qing was woken up by the slightly noisy voices outside. Soon after, Huaifenghua opened the door and walked into the house.
Huaifenghua immediately saw Mu Qing sitting on the bed in a daze wearing only single clothes. She walked quickly to Mu Qing and reached out to touch Mu Qing's forehead.
"What's going on with you? When I came back last night, you didn't say anything when I asked you, and you're still in this state now?"
"Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine."
Mu Qing took away Liu Weirui's hand, got out of bed, looked outside the room, and asked, "Is it Mrs. Wang and the others who are back?"
Huaifenghua shook his head and said: "They should have received the news last night, but there are still many unresolved problems, so they should be safer outside the city."
"Oh, as long as they're fine."
Mu Qing nodded, and after saying that, he looked outside the room and began to be lost in thought.
Huaifenghua frowned and came to him, her face almost touching Mu Qing's face. Only when Mu Qing reacted did Mu Qing react. Huaifenghua's expression was much more serious and she said seriously: "Tell me, what happened to you after you left yesterday?" , made you become like this distracted person now?"
Mu Qing's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing, just shook his head.
Huaifenghua pulled him to a chair aside and sat down. She held her chin with her hand. After looking at him condescendingly for a moment, she suddenly said, "Did you go to see the head of the Lin family yesterday? What did he say to you?"
Mu Qing looked stunned and replied: "I didn't see Wei Rui's grandfather after they left."
"Didn't you see it?" Huaifenghua asked in surprise, "Don't you know where Wei Rui lives?"
Huaifenghua knew about Liu Weirui's existence very soon. Liu Yueshan had given Mu Qing the address of the house he bought in his letter.
Because of Mu Qing's strange behavior last night, she went to look for him this morning and was sure that Liu Weirui lived there.
"No. I have already met Wei Rui, but I haven't seen her grandfather."
"Master Lin didn't see you directly? Well, no wonder you are so depressed."
"That's not the case." Mu Qing knew that Huaifenghua was thinking wrong again, and said weakly: "After I found them yesterday, I didn't say a few words to Wei Rui. I'm not afraid of your jokes, auntie. I didn't even go through the door. , and this is not Wei Rui’s fault, but my own.”
Huaifenghua sat down on the chair next to her. She no longer thought about the previous disputes between the juniors and nodded: "I completely agree with what you are saying now. Is this indeed your reason? If you don't even have this point, If you dare to admit it, my aunt will look down on you."
Mu Qing laughed to himself.
After he came back, he thought about it all night, but he couldn't find a way to make Murong Jing change his mind. Now he didn't even dare to inquire about Murong Jing's movements because he was afraid that when the two met again, when Murong Jing asked him, he still could only Say something repetitive.
He said that so many times that even he felt hypocritical.
Mu Qing asked himself, no matter who it was, he really wanted it.
Huaifenghua Youyou said: "Actually, I warned you when you and Murong Jing confirmed your relationship, but you didn't seem to care much about this matter at the time. In my aunt's opinion, the fact that the head of the Lin family can secretly protect Wei Rui all the way shows that Wei Rui is a very important person in his heart. With your current performance, you may have the talent and strength, but the possibility of being with Wei Rui is extremely low, unless..."
When Mu Qing heard this, he felt bitter in his mouth, and then said, "Unless I break off the relationship with Xiaojing?"
Probably because she had put herself into Mu Qing's situation a little bit, Huaifenghua's frown did not relax. After a moment, she glared at Mu Qing and cursed: "You deserve it. I think your father was very devoted to my sister back then." It’s so good, but they gave birth to a little bastard that everyone loves.”
"Let me tell you, if you really plan to do this, we will cut off our relationship directly. I don't have a nephew like you, and Shaoyao doesn't have a brother like you."
Mu Qing didn't know if he was sick, but after being scolded by Huaifenghua in front of his face, he felt better.
His eyes were heavy and he sighed: "How could I think so. But... Auntie, in your opinion, is it possible for her and I to be together?"
"Huh? Who is she? Murong Jing?" Huaifenghua looked at Mu Qing in surprise, "Why do you ask like that?"
Mu Qing didn't want to talk about what happened with Murong Jing until he came up with a solution, and said vaguely: "I just feel that I deceived her in this matter, and there is a reason for whatever she did."
Huaifenghua looked at Mu Qing again from top to bottom. When Mu Qing looked a little uncomfortable, she said: "She will not leave you. If you and her really separate, there is only one possibility."
Huaifenghua looked at Mu Qing coldly, "That means you gave up on her on your own initiative."
Seeing Huaifenghua's determined expression, Mu Qing suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of absurdity in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said: "I know I am already a bastard in the eyes of my aunt, but why can't Xiaojing leave me? Why? Auntie, do you still believe in the relationship between me and her more than I do?"
Huaifenghua leaned back, the expression on her face became a little more complicated, and she said slowly: "For a long time, Murong Jing has been hostile to me. You should also know about this. They say they know you best." She is actually an enemy. I won’t say how much I know her, but..."
"But she had to return to Suzaku City regardless of her injuries. She hid in the tunnel. She didn't heal her wounds properly but was worried about your safety. She desperately captured Gu Yuan and risked her life to save you. As a woman, I know that she has reached the age where she can lose for you. To the point of being together.”
"Or in other words, you are everything to her. She can lose a lot, but she can't lose you."
After Huaifenghua finished speaking, she kept looking at Mu Qing with a disappointed look, "You will doubt the relationship between you and her, which makes me a little disappointed."
Mu Qing couldn't help but stood up and vented the pain of the night, "No, that's not the case. She said in front of me that we would never meet again. Auntie, what do you think I should do to save it?" she?"
When Huaifenghua heard the news, she stood up in shock.
It turns out that the reason why Mu Qing was so haunted all night was not from Liu Weirui, but from Murong Jing, whom she thought was the most unlikely person.
How is this possible? Although Murong Yun and others scolded Mu Qing fiercely, they still supported Murong Jing and Mu Qing to be together. Murong Jing could not be pressured by other parties, right?
After Huaifenghua waited for Mu Qing to calm down a little, she asked seriously: "Did she really say that in front of you? Why? Wei Rui?"
Mu Qing glanced at Huaifenghua and nodded gently: "Yes."
Although Huaifenghua said she believed Murong Jing would not leave him, she still guessed the reason immediately. In Mu Qing's eyes, all her previous comments about Murong Jing became a kind of comfort to him.
But soon, Huaifenghua frowned and said: "This should be impossible. Murongjing is a woman with a mature personality. She will not embarrass you by choosing between her and Weirui at this time. If she really wants to If she wants to leave you, she will leave quietly."
Mu Qing actually hoped that Huaifenghua's guess was correct, so he simply told what happened last night in more detail, hoping to get a more accurate judgment from Huaifenghua.
When Huaifenghua heard Murong Jing's final farewell to Mu Qing, she was moved and said: "You are really an idiot. Tell me, which woman would do this when she wants to leave a man?"
Mu Qing was stunned and replied: "Maybe she wants to leave some relatively good memories."
Huaifenghua squinted and said: "You also know that it is a relatively good memory? If it is a good memory, it proves that she loved you until then. How could she make such a request? Well, although such a request is not at all It’s not excessive, but that’s not the real reason.”
Mu Qing was like a drowning man grasping at straws. He looked at Huaifenghua with bright eyes and asked, "Auntie, what should I do now, go find her? But I'm afraid she won't see me."
Seeing Mu Qing wishing to fly to Murong Jing's side immediately, Huaifenghua sighed helplessly and even sat back on the chair again, "Listening to what you said, things are actually complicated."
"Why?" Mu Qing was puzzled.
Huaifenghua replied: "When you saw Wei Rui, Murong Jing was also there. This is probably the real reason why Murong Jing rejected you."
Mu Qing's eyes widened and he immediately shook his head and said: "It's impossible, Wei Rui is not this kind of person."
Huaifenghua's eyes were deep: "Of course I know that Wei Rui is not this kind of person. It is very likely that she was also kept in the dark. Since you are not going to give up on Wei Rui, you should understand who you need to face!"
Mu Qing opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.
There were footsteps outside the house, and Huaifenghua stood up and said: "Those who woke you up include the family representatives who made the covenant before, and Cao Jin who came on behalf of the White Emperor. Now you have been Many people outside think he is the real Lord of Suzaku City."
Mu Qing was a little confused for a moment. He suddenly remembered his original intention of becoming the Lord of Suzaku City. He wanted to create a safe place for the people around him. But if Murong Jing is no longer by his side, then his original intention will always be realized. No, what’s the point of being the city lord anymore?
As if she had guessed what Mu Qing was thinking, Huaifenghua comforted her softly: "I still have something to do here. I have told them that you need to rest after a series of battles. Your top priority now is to understand what you are thinking. , do you want to be with one of them, or do you want to."
"You have to give a clear answer."
Mu Qing nodded solemnly: "I understand, but I'm afraid that I won't do it well and will hurt them instead."
Huaifenghua walked aside, handed the new clothes she had prepared to Mu Qing, and asked, "Can fear solve the problem?"
"They are all good girls. You must bring your sincerity and sincerity."
