After everyone left, only Mu Zi and Murong Cheng remained in the ward.
Murong Cheng asked her softly, "How do you feel?"
Mu Zi slowly inhaled, and said dumbly, "It hurts."
Murong Cheng's eyes were slightly astringent.
He reached out and touched her hair lightly, his voice was gentle: "It will get better."
Turned around and poured half a cup of warm water, plugged in a straw, and brought it to her mouth.
Mu Zi opened her mouth and drank water while holding the straw. Her lips became moist, and because of this she had a more rosy color. Murong Cheng felt that she was like a little cat, drinking water with his big hand as if she was away from him. Just can't live.
There was a strange emotion gurgling in my heart, as if moved and satisfied, and his chest was warm and swelling.
After Mu Zi drank the water, he couldn't help but said, "Do you want to marry me that way?"
He felt that Yi Mu Zi’s character was either shy pretending to be inaudible, or annoyingly cursing him. Unexpectedly, Mu Zi nodded seriously and said with a serious face: "You don’t know how much regret I regretted when I was shot. After being in a coma, I kept thinking in a daze, what should I do if I die like this? I just died like this without marrying you. I really lost it."
She closed her eyes and said to herself: "You can't die, you can't die... I want to marry you, and I will die in the future, and Murong Cheng's wife will be engraved on the tombstone. So now, I absolutely cannot die."
Murong Cheng moved the corners of his lips and felt that he should laugh, but his eyes were hot and tidal.
Unnamed emotions filled his lungs and his breathing was hot. He wanted to hug her, but he was afraid of hurting her. He hesitated and finally held Mu Zi's hand.
"Okay, let's get married." He held her hand and kissed gently, his voice was muted, "When you recover, we will get married."
Can't wait any longer.
Mu Zi got the promise and heaved a sigh of relief like letting go.
The thing that I cared about the most has been answered, and other thoughts in my brain flooded in—
"Xiaoya..." Mu Zi asked him, "At that time, I seemed to have heard Xiaoya's voice."
Xiaoya has moved to Mu Zi's new home, but Mu's house is still regarded as his own territory by it, and from time to time he flies back to inspect the territory with her husband and children.
When Mu Zi had an accident, the crows all flew in. They scratched the screen window and screamed and scratched at Mu Zening. Mu Zening's gun shot indiscriminately, and even the thunder could not cover it.
Hearing the movement, Mu Yun left the guests and wanted to go upstairs to see what was going on, but met Mu Ling who happened to be downstairs.
They are sisters. Mu Ling's strangeness can be concealed from others, but she can't keep it from Mu Yun. Under the pressure of Mu Ling, Mu Ling explained the cause and effect in a few words, and Mu Yun promptly reported the police.
When Murong Cheng arrived, Mu Zening had disappeared.
The room was in a mess. The black feathers scattered on the red embroidered quilt were particularly dazzling, and blood was spotted. Xiaoyao's partner was hit by a bullet, and there was no heartbeat.
Murong Cheng didn't want to make Mu Zi sad, so he didn't mention it, and only said, "Little girl is okay."
Mu Zi relaxed, and asked him, "Where is Xu Shihan?"
"Blood loss is too much, I can't save it." Murong Cheng said, "Mu Zening was drunk with her, presumably she didn't suffer too much when she died."
Mu Zi fell silent.
Both she and Murong Cheng knew that the original Mu Zi committed suicide by cutting his wrists after drunk.
Mu Zening designed Xu Shihan to die in this way, and then let Su Zi drown again. What purpose did he want to achieve? Maybe as he said, either live to be his wife or die...
Even if he became a ghost and stayed with him, it was better than marrying Murong Cheng.
The happier they live, the more humiliating, ironic, and painful they are for Mu Zening.
