C10 (2/2)

She stood up and called out. The man nodded and without another word went upstairs to his room.

If it was before, she would happily stay and chat with him for a while even if he returned after two or three days.

But this time, everything was different. She could clearly feel the estrangement and indifference on his face.

Since when had the relationship between them changed from being silent and meeting each other's eyes?

The girl no longer had the mood to play the zither. It was as if all of her previous good mood had disappeared.

”Dong Dong Dong”, the girl outside the door mustered up her courage and knocked on his door.

However, a minute passed and no one came to open the door.

”Brother …”

After knocking for the second time, she wondered if he was resting. After all, he had been away for so long.

Forget it, she should just wait for him to rest before coming to find him.

Just as he was about to give up and return to his room, the door was opened. The man had just come out of the bathroom when he heard her voice.

Wearing a bathrobe, her collar slightly opened and her faintly discernible bronze chest made her involuntarily lower her eyes.

”What's the matter?”

The man's tone sounded strange, as if he was talking to an unfamiliar person.

”I have something that I want to tell you …” ”But, let's talk about it another day.”

”If you have something to say, say it now.”

At Mu Yanze's side, there was no other time, only now. If he didn't say it now, then he wouldn't say it in the future.

Mu Liangxi bit her lips, seeing that the man had turned around and entered the house, she could only follow him in, watching him pour himself a glass of red wine and sit on the sofa, shaking his goblet as he waited for her to continue speaking, filling it with words.

The girl held her breath and said:

”Why are you … You've been ignoring me all this time? ”

”Quite the opposite.”

The sudden words from the man made the girl lose her confidence even more. She bit her lips and looked at that person.

Who was it that wanted to avoid him?

And now, it was actually him who didn't want to bother with her?

”I didn't ignore you, brother …” I just can't figure it out. ”

There were many things she could not understand, many things.

For example, was he really drunk that night, or did he really think of her as someone else?

For example, why did he come into her room that night?

For example, why did she no longer rely on him during this period of time? Instead … He was a bit scared and even subconsciously refused him.

These were all things she couldn't figure out herself.

But he also knew that there would be no answer.

”Perhaps, I overthought things … Brother, we're still the best siblings, alright? ”

Best brother and sister.

Mu Yanze wiped the smile off her face, and gulped down the wine. That deep smile, made her a little lost.

What did he mean?

”Come here.”

”…”

Mu Liangxi did not hesitate as he walked towards him.

She was standing right in front of him, and just as she wanted to say something, her wrist was grabbed by that big palm. The girl was startled, and in the next moment, her center of gravity unsteadily fell into his arms.

He was wearing only a bathrobe, and Mu Liangxi's first reaction was to get up.

However, the palm held her waist and did not allow her to move.

The aura of a man was so close to her face that it caressed her face with his fingers.

”Liangxi, if I kiss you again now, will you try to deceive yourself that I'm just drunk and mistook you for someone else?”

If I kiss you again now...

However, he didn't give the girl any chance to think or react. The warmth from his lips made her body shudder violently.
