Everyone has left, even the old man went back to his room to rest.

There were only a few servants still cleaning up something.

There was only a faint light in the huge house.

Mu Qingluan couldn't sleep, so she quietly went downstairs and went to the courtyard alone in her pajamas.

It was autumn before she knew it, and many flowers in the yard were withered. Only some small flowers that she didn't recognize were still fluttering in the night wind.

Mu Qingluan came to the lotus pond alone, but this place seemed to be like this all year round, never changing.

But in the lotus pond at night, the koi had already hid under the lotus leaves and slept quietly.

There are no stars today, even the moon is dim.

Sitting by the pool, looking up at the night sky, my heart felt as if it was blocked by a big stone.

The nightgown that reaches her knees is slightly lifted due to her sitting position. Fortunately, there are no mosquitoes in the sky now.

When Mu Qingluan went downstairs, he took his mobile phone and put on his headphones, and the sweet music overflowed softly.

The restless heart seemed to have finally found a moment of peace.

Mu Qingluan swayed her fair and slender legs, closed her eyes, and seemed to be enjoying the quiet night.

Perhaps the wind was too soft and the music was too beautiful. Mu Qingluan was so immersed in it that he didn't notice the slowly approaching car.

There was no sound as the feet stepped on the soft grass. The moonlight poured down, casting a long shadow alongside Mu Qingluan's.

The other party sat down next to her, and suddenly there was a familiar scent in the air that was like a poppy to her. Mu Qingluan suddenly opened her eyes.

She looked at Chu Qingyue in astonishment, who had returned from unknown time, with her red lips slightly parted, her expression a little confused and cute.

Taking off the headphones, Mu Qingluan seemed a little embarrassed, "When did you come back?"

Why didn't she hear anything?

Forget the sound of footsteps, not even the sound of the car was heard.

Chu Qingyue turned her eyes slightly, her pupils under the moonlight became softer and deeper, like a clear spring that made people want to take a dip in it.

"Just got back."

"oh."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. She deliberately picked a corner with backlight. It would be difficult to find anyone here unless she walked in.

She came down just to be secretly angry, and she was worried that he would be embarrassed if he came back at any time, so she chose this place. Unexpectedly, she was discovered.

Mu Qingluan would not know that when Chu Qingyue drove into the courtyard, he saw her sitting by the pool with her eyes closed.

"Well, you must be tired today. Go up and have a rest."

Mu Qingluan was at a loss for words.

Silence will only make it more embarrassing.

"You seem to always ask me to rest today." He said lightly, whether it was unintentional or just casual.

Mu Qingluan immediately tensed up.

In fact, she wanted to leave by herself, but it would be more embarrassing for her to leave just after he came, so she found such a poor excuse. But she didn't expect that he would be so direct.

He turned around in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Chu Qingyue also embarrassed her. But Mu Qingluan's attitude from the time she came back to now is really strange.

At first, he just thought that since they hadn't seen each other for five years, there must be some unfamiliarity.

But at the end of the day, was he a fool to not realize that she was avoiding him?

Just why?

"How have you been these past few days? Is work going well?" Chu Qingyue was actually not tired at all. She had rested for so long in the afternoon and all her experiences had come back.

I just came back from going out and the wind blew, so I couldn't sleep.

For five years, because she was worried about her family, she did not immerse herself in work willfully and disappeared for more than half a year.

I just took some small interviews, went out for a week at most, and stayed at home most of the time.
