C9 (2/2)
Separated by a door, the man's dark voice faintly travelled over. But Mu Liangxi, for the first time, felt that it was possible to not want to see his brother.
To be honest, he did feel a bit uncomfortable.
After all, she had yet to convince herself of what had happened last night from the bottom of her heart.
”Brother, I'm sleepy.”
When these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly turned silent.
His silence, her silence.
As time passed, she looked at the clock. Five minutes had passed.
This...
”Brother, are you still there?”
He must be gone, she thought.
”Right.”
But it was the man's kindness that caused Mu Liangxi's eyebrows to twitch.
It was as though the person outside was waiting …
Waiting for her to open the door.
And she, was also waiting.
Waiting for him to leave.
The deadlock lasted for another three minutes.
In the end, the one who gave in first was still her.
The moment she opened the door, she looked up at the person outside.
”Brother …”
”You don't have to open the door.”
So he was outside the door, perhaps waiting a little longer, and would leave on his own.
”No, I …”
Mu Liangxi's lips moved, but words that he wanted to explain stuck in his throat.
She tried to explain, but it seemed... What he said was the truth.
After a long while, the girl finally looked straight at him and asked:
”Brother, last night …”
When he mentioned last night, her heart still palpitated in fear, but his eyes were as deep as a pool of water, making it impossible to see his emotions.
”Last night you... Drunk, you think of me as someone else, don't you? ”
Just like that, he boldly voiced out his conjecture.
She only wanted to hear him say one word.
However, it didn't seem to be the case.
”Who is it, eh?”
The smile on Mu Yanze's lips was indistinct, but it was a bit cold, and a bit cold.
”Song, Song Kexin.”
Song Kexin...
Hearing the girl say this name, he suddenly let out a soft laugh. She did not understand why he was laughing.
Song Kexin, if she didn't mention it now, he really would have forgotten that there was still such a person in this world.
”You think so?”
”…”
Mu Liangxi was at a loss for words. She couldn't find the voice for a moment when she saw the dark eyes of the man.
In the end, he still nodded stiffly.
Could it be that this was not the case?
”If that's what you think, then that's how it is.”
Since she hoped so, so be it.
”Brother …”
”Rest early.”
He turned and left her room.
There were no more words, no more explanations.
As for Mu Liangxi, he did not feel comfortable at heart.
She felt more and more uncomfortable. It was as if there was a huge rock pressing against her, causing her to be unable to breathe.
