From that night onwards, Mu Yaran would prepare a dish for Xiao Yunyi every night.
Xiao Yunyi couldn't give her any face, so he could only eat her food and listen to the other party ramble on about how much suffering he had suffered in order to cook for her. It was also the same for Xiuxiu's injured hand.
Xiao Yunyi only felt unaccustomed and impatient towards Mu Yaran's actions. However, Lan Xi stood to the side and watched on enviously. This made her feel that her appearance was unnecessary.
After a week of interaction, Lan Xi slowly got used to eating together with Mu Yaran.
Qiao Lin had also returned. At first, she was very surprised when Mu Yaran entered the kitchen, but she had gotten used to it. However, in her heart, she felt that Mu Yaran wouldn't be able to hold on for long, as all she was doing was putting on a show.
During the day, when Xiao Yunyi was not around, Lan Xi had been competing with Mu Yaran in intelligence, so neither of them could do anything to the other. However, Lan Xi never fought against her again. This was because she knew Mu Ya Ran definitely wouldn't be able to defeat her.
However, what could he do even if he defeated Mu Yaran? It would only give her another chance to be miserable in front of Xiao Yunyi. Plus, Lan Xi didn't want to get involved with the identity of a hitman anymore. She wanted to forget about the past and start over.
In the past, how could it be so easy to be forgotten?
Her parents had not been avenged, and her brother had not been found. Every time Lan Xi thought of these two things, she felt an incomparable heartache. In addition, Xiao Yunyi's promise to him had not been fulfilled and he was not allowed to leave the villa to do his own things. This caused Lan Xi to feel a faint resentment towards Xiao Yunyi in her heart.
Xiao Yunyi sensed the change in Lan Xi's feelings for him, but he had no good ideas. He had not relaxed his search for Lin Shengkun, but he was still unable to find him.
He was also very anxious, but he didn't tell this to Lan Xi. That would only make Lan Xi think of a way to escape her control. That would only make him more dangerous.
However, no one had expected that even if Lan Xi was imprisoned in the villa, he would still encounter danger, and it was from the inside. In the end, Xiao Yunyi felt that perhaps it was a mistake to let Mu Yaran stay here at the beginning.
On the second day, it rained heavily outside. Xiao Yunyi had come back through the rain. Although he had an umbrella, his body was still a little wet from the rain.
After passing his jacket to Qiao Lin, Xiao Yunyi left for the guest hall. Today, he did not hear any noise, so he was a little curious.
Ever since Mu Yaran had moved in, she had quarreled with Lan Xi every day. It was really abnormal for things to have quietened down today.
As they were eating, Xiao Yunyi casually asked this question. Mu Yaran said that she had accidentally caught a cold when she was going out today. After that, she apologetically told him that she hadn't prepared any food for him today.
Hearing this, he secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Although the dishes prepared by Mu Yaran weren't that hard to eat, he still had to look at the knife that was flying toward him while he was eating.
It was rare to see him being so considerate towards Mu Yaran, but Xiao Yunyi's voice was not as cold as usual, "It's fine, actually you don't need to specially prepare it for me. If you're sick, then take care of yourself. Don't worry about anything else. "
When Mu Yaran heard his words, her face flushed red and she shyly nodded her head. Afterwards, she also asked Xiao Yunyi to take good care of his body.
The two of them chatted back and forth for a while. Mu Yaran didn't show off to Lan Xi as she usually did, but Lan Xi stood on the side, looking angry and annoyed. She picked up the bowl of soup that someone had placed next to her and drained it clean in one gulp.
No one noticed the weird smile on Mu Yaran's face when she saw Lan Xi finish the soup.
Before they finished dinner, Mu Yaran had already returned to her room with the excuse that her body wasn't feeling well. Before she left, she asked Jolin to find some medicine for her.
Only Xiao Yunyi and Lan Xi were left in the dining hall. Xiao Yunyi was not the talkative type, and Lan Xi didn't say anything due to the hidden troubles in her heart. He just felt that the soup he had just drunk was not bad, so he drank another bowl.
Their dinner ended in a quiet atmosphere.
After Xiao Yunyi returned to his study, he thought about the scene at the dining table. He felt that his relationship with Lan Xi was different from before. Even if Mu Yuran had left, they wouldn't have anything to say. Instead, they were in an awkward silence.
This is wrong. Xiao Yunyi said to himself, but he also didn't know what the problem was.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to visit Lan Xi. Regardless of the changes in their interactions, he was still used to visiting Lan Xi every night before they went to bed.
After dinner, Lan Xi stayed downstairs for a while before returning to her room. As usual, she held her Bunny on the bed and watched a movie.
However, it wasn't long before she felt uncomfortable. After he came out of the bathroom, the uncomfortable feeling did not ease up, instead, it spread throughout his body.
Slowly, she felt numbness in her tongue, limbs, and whole body, dizziness, tinnitus, and shortness of breath.
She felt completely unable to move her body. However, her desire to live made her struggle to get up. She reached for her phone by the bedside and called Xiao Yunyi for help.
Lan Xi opened her mouth to find that she couldn't say anything at all. Moreover, even without looking in the mirror, she could feel that her face was pale and her body was covered in cold sweat.
She curled herself up tightly, trying to ease the pain in her body. But the pain seemed to be everywhere, spreading from the brain to the heart, to the abdomen, and then to the lower body.
She breathed heavily, as if she was drowning and trying hard to breathe the fresh air. She waved her hands weakly on the bed and threw everything she could touch onto the ground.
Lan Xi felt like she was going to die soon, but she couldn't imagine who could have done this to her, causing her to die in such a painful situation.
"Dang, dang, dang!"
Lan Xi heard a familiar knock on the door. She had even woken up from her stupor. She knew that Xiao Yunyi had arrived and that she would be saved. After using his last bit of strength to touch the phone on the headboard and throw it at the door, Lan Xi turned his head to the side.
With a loud 'clang', Xiao Yunyi kicked open the door and saw Lan Xi struggling on the bed.
The blue bedsheet under Lan Xi's body had traces of blood on it. It had flowed out when she couldn't help but pinch her own palm.
Her computer, pillows, and her beloved Bunny rabbit were scattered across the floor.
Xiao Yunyi quickly ran to the bedside, but Lan Xi was already unconscious.
"Lan Xi, Lan Xi? Wake up! " Xiao Yunyi anxiously shouted, "What happened to you? Wake up! "
