Even though we were having dinner, someone interrupted us in the middle of the meal, and the atmosphere between the three of us was always awkward.
It shouldn't be said that Mu Yao was the only one who felt the atmosphere was strange. Dongfang Zhongqing was still indulging in the imaginary brother-sister relationship, constantly bringing her food and asking her to eat more.
With Dongfang Zhong here, the concern of Shen Wuchuan, an "outsider", seemed worthless. He ate quietly without saying a word, and his actions were very gentle.
When Mu Yao looked at him, he would pull out a smile that only the two of them could understand and wink at her.
Originally, he sneaked out today and wanted to hang out for a while, but as soon as Dongfang Zhong came, he immediately gave up. He cared about Mu Yao's injuries and asked to go back after eating.
Mu Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
So the three of them returned to the villa together. Before entering the disciples' quarters, Dongfang Zhongqing said to Chen Wuchuan: "Junior Brother Shen, please go back first."
"Okay, senior sister, take a rest early." He obediently turned around and went back.
Mu Yao coughed lightly and said, "I hope my brother won't tell mother what happened today. I had to go out."
"Who do you think I am? Is this kind of thing worth saying in front of my mother?" He gently touched Mu Yao's head, "I will accompany you for a while."
He walked very slowly, looking at the bright moon in the sky and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the last time we were separated was actually a year. Miaomiao has changed a lot from before."
"After my brother left, my mother put all the heavy responsibilities on me, so some changes are necessary." She replied mechanically.
"I know my mother has always been very strict with you because of me, but no matter what, you are my biological sister. If they don't feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for you." Zhong Qing stopped, with emotions flowing in his eyes, and he spread his arms On the hand, there is a little rabbit white jade pendant in the palm: "When I went to look for you today, I bought it on the street. When I saw it, I thought it suited you very well."
Mu Yao lowered his eyes and glanced at the colorful stones around his neck, and said calmly: "I appreciate your brother's kindness, but I am not a child anymore and I don't need this."
"... Well, I thought you would still like the things I gave you as before." He was a little regretful: "Then I will go back and repair it and make it into a bracelet before giving it to you."
Mu Yao and he were not siblings after all, so she thought it would be better to talk about some things openly. She took a step back, searched her body, and found a jade pendant: "This is the jade pendant that represents the identity of the head of Yuyin Villa. He used to be his father." It was originally intended to be given to my brother. Now that my brother is back, it should be returned to its original owner."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the woods were completely silent.
Dongfang Zhongqing looked at her blankly, as if he didn't expect that she would make such a decision so suddenly.
After a while, he calmed down and said with trembling lips: "Miaomiao, I didn't mean that. You are my sister, and these things are yours."
"But if my brother hadn't had an accident, these things wouldn't have fallen into my hands." She held the jade pendant and said calmly.
Zhong Qing took a deep breath, walked over and picked up the jade pendant and put it on her belt again: "Don't say this again in the future. It is yours, and it is yours after all. I will tell my mother."
Mu Yao found that she couldn't see through him. Could it be that this cheap brother really just had a brother-sister relationship with him?
His voice was a little hoarse: "Okay, it's my fault. You are just injured, so I will tell you these things. Stop thinking about it. Go back and rest. I will come see you tomorrow."
The two of them parted ways, and Mu Yao returned to bed, recalling everything that had happened today.
Dongfang Zhongqing's care for me these days doesn't seem fake, and he can even refuse the jade pendant that he offered as a gift. Is there really such a silly and sweet brother?
She suddenly found that her messaging jade was on, and opened it to see a message from Shen Wuchuan: "Senior sister, I can't sleep, can I go find you?"
Mu Yao: Now?
Shen Wuchuan: I miss you.
They had only been separated for a while, and yet they said something like this. Mu Yao thought about it and said, "No, you will be seen."
Turning off the communication Lingyu, she began to sort out the next plot. There was no description of the Eastern Demon Murder at the beginning. Most of it was about how the female protagonist pursues the male protagonist, but is repeatedly tortured and sprinkled with sugar, which makes people catch her. My heart is scratching my liver and I can't stop.
So she can really lie down for a while, take good care of her health, and then decide what to do next.
Shen Wuchuan was about to be treated as an abandoned son, and he should prepare for him in advance to at least give him a chance of survival.
Just as she was thinking about this, there was a sudden rustling movement from the window. She raised her body and looked over, and met a pair of dark eyes.
Chen Wuchuan: "...senior sister~"
Mu Yao was surprised: "Why are you here?"
He said coquettishly: "Senior sister said she was afraid of being seen, so I was very cautious. There was no one on the road, so I came here secretly."
Mu Yao clenched his fist and put it to his lips and coughed lightly. Shen Wuchuan held her hand pitifully: "Today, my wish to have dinner alone with senior sister has not been fulfilled. Senior sister won't even chase me away. Can you bear it?"
Looking at that alluring face, she realized that she still couldn't bear it. Seeing her hesitation, Shen Wuchuan decisively kissed her cheek: "Then I'll take it as your promise."
The two of them were lying on the bed. It was obviously not the first time, but Mu Yao still couldn't let go and stayed far away from him.
Chen Wuchuan got closer and stretched out his hand to pull her over. He held her in his arms and put his chin on her head: "Why do you feel that when Senior Brother Zhongqing comes back, it's like he wants to steal you from me."
"He is my brother, so he should care about me." Mu Yao said.
He nodded slightly and lowered his eyes: "In their eyes, I am still just an irrelevant outsider. It is right for them to be close to senior sister."
Listening to his somewhat resentful tone, Mu Yao felt a little distressed. She raised her head and put her hand on her chest: "But at this time, you are the one who is with me."
He was stunned for a moment, and then a faint blush appeared on his face. As if he was recognized, his voice softened a lot: "It's not the time yet. One day I will accompany you openly and let everyone Everyone sees it.”
"Then you have to work hard. The road to cultivation is long and full of obstacles." Mu Yao said quietly, leaning on his arm.
"But I think Senior Brother Zhongqing really cares about Senior Sister." He was confused: "Have you always gotten along like this before? Then Master still..." Treat her differently.
Is there no rift between the two people?
There must be some, but it has always been a psychological description of Dongfang Muyao's vicious jealousy. She doesn't know exactly what Dongfang Zhongqing is thinking.
