It was almost afternoon, and the sun was shining even brighter than before. A few employees were walking along the street in groups of twos and threes. Originally, he wanted to come over here and take a breather. However, when he saw the tense atmosphere from afar, he immediately turned around and left.
Three people stood facing each other under a tree. Ouyang Che, who had an indifferent expression and an excited expression, faced the green-faced Mu Jinxi opposite him.
"Why don't you give her to me? You don't like her anyway." Murong Shaoyang continued with his own fun and suggested to Ouyang Che. Mu Jinxi looked at him, afraid that he would reply again.
Fortunately, he didn't.
Ouyang Che did not speak, and only passed the choice to Mu Jinxi. "You asked her …"
Murong Shaoyang laughed loudly, his tone filled with ridicule: "Could it be that you're the one being chased after?"
Mu Jinxi didn't reply. She was the one who had said that she liked him, all right, but she was Murong Shaoyang's lover. She said that she liked Ouyang Che, but how could she possibly like him, in the end, it was just wishful thinking. What could she say? It would be better to be silent.
Even if he was already silent, Murong Shaoyang did not plan to let her go. He casually patted Ouyang Che's shoulders and pulled Mu Jinxi's lackeys into his arms, his eyebrows raised high, "Don't ruin your handsome image with your cowardly looks, he's mine now." He tightened his grip like a demonstration.
Mu Jinxi used all her strength to push him, but he discovered that's strength was suddenly extremely terrifying. Even though she secretly used more strength, he was still unable to move the arm around his neck by even a little.
If he really nodded her head like that about giving up her seat, Mu Jinxi would definitely follow Murong Shaoyang without even looking back. When had she, whom he wanted, not done that before? And when would he give her what she wanted? Even if it was just for a second.
This was also an extravagant hope.
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Che scratched his head and smiled as he agreed.
"Young Master Murong, you treat her better than me." Then he continued, "But Young Master Murong... It was better to ask for her opinion on this matter … "Actually, I have nothing else to say …" Mu Jinxi gave up on those words.
When he returned the kiss back to her, he also wanted to pry open her lips and intrude into her mouth, but she did not want to let go of his defense even for a moment.
Murong Shaoyang let go of her and turned around to embrace her. Now that she has agreed, I will take her with me. " His tone became serious.
"Wait …" Ouyang Che called out to the two people, one dragging the other. As he faced Mu Jinxi's back, his tone turned serious once more, "She's staying, I still have something I want to say to her."
This time, he did not call out to Young Master Murong. Murong Shaoyang squinted his eyes slightly to look at the man who had started to reveal a serious expression, and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at him, "What's wrong? Regret it? "
Ouyang Che was startled, he regained his nerdy look and stuttered a few words, "No … "I just wanted to say a few words to her …"
Murong Shaoyang lowered his head to look at the silent woman in his arms, and changed his mind, "Then we'll meet tonight." Release Mu Jinxi and smile at him.
He turned around and waved his hand.
Only the two of them were left.
Mu Jinxi lowered her head and did not look at the man in front of him, as she was unwilling to continue looking at him for a long time.
"Mu …" He recovered Ouyang Che's cold and indifferent attitude, and broke the calm he had experienced so long ago. His tone was cold and stunned, and he still could not remember her name.
She did not answer directly, but only asked about the smell on his body. From the moment he got close, the smell had not disappeared, and she wanted to ask him about it from the start, but because Murong Shaoyang had something important to say here, she could not say it.
Now that there were only two people around, she quickly asked, "Why do you have the smell of gunpowder on you?" Close to him, he sniffed up and down like a police dog.
A trained person was certain that this was the smell of gunpowder, and even though most of the detergent had blocked it, it still did not prevent her from smelling it.
He stepped back from her. "It's just a small task."
Mu Jinxi didn't like to read the headlines today, so she naturally didn't see anything. That car shop disappeared because someone purposely detonated a bomb last night, causing the largest car shop in the city to turn into ashes overnight.
"The target isn't inside." Looking at the raging flames in front of him, the man patted the ashes off his body.
The sea of fire reflected in his dark eyes. His gaze was as cold as the coldest block of ice on the snowy mountain peak.
"What did you do?" She grabbed his clothes and held them tightly in her hands. She was a little angry, didn't she say she had to follow him here to review the work of a big employee? Didn't they say that they were giving them another chance to choose their lives? Why did you still ask him to do the task... Doing some inhumane tasks.
Mu Jinxi only felt a wave of helplessness as she placed her feet on Yue Yang's chest.
"Why?" she asked again.
Ouyang Che felt that his clothes had been penetrated by a cold aura. He frowned, and gently raised his hand behind her waist, as if he wanted to approach his, but suddenly clenched his fist and put it back in place. "This is my fate, and you can start over again."
He knew that he had learned enough of sin and that it would be futile to redeem himself now. He might as well go on like this until the day someone returned to pursue him and he could no longer keep his eyes open.
But at that time, they had yet to arrive. But the woman in his arms was different. God had slowly molded her into the shape of a Jiangnan woman.
Ouyang Che actually had concerns that he wouldn't be able to guess. She hadn't brought up the Sickle of the God of Death like him yet, and she was even able to make a pure white lotus.
"You can start over."
Hearing his gentle voice, she raised her head to look at him. Her face was filled with an expression of tenderness that she had never seen before. She was mesmerized by it and lightly touched his face. "You can do it, you can obviously do it …" As long as he was willing. Those photos could be destroyed to the point where there were no traces at all. Those money could be used to wash away one's origins. Mu Jinxi could guarantee that as long as he wanted to, she could do anything.
He was not afraid of reality, but he was afraid of not needing it.
But he didn't want to. His cold smile faded and he pushed her away.
Mu Jinxi was stunned, "You never thought of leaving that place to become an honorable person?"
Ouyang Che's expression did not change, it was still calm and gave off an ice-cold feeling, "That is already my habit."
"I don't believe it." Mu Jinxi shook her head.
"What does it have to do with me if you don't believe me?" He was never very pleasant to talk to.
"Fine, you don't believe me." Mu Jinxi took out her phone to make a call, but couldn't find the Young Master Murong's name in the end.
"Don't force yourself, it's not worth it for me." He leaned over to take the phone and put it away, then advised her very seriously.
"…" Mu Jinxi lowered her head deeply, not daring to look at him again.
That's right, what qualifications does the current her have to act like a fairy tale princess hero? This was a scene that only a prince could do, what right did she have to show off? And why would Murong Shaoyang help her? Did she get his confession?
No.
Did he like you?
No.
Then do you remember the agreement?
Murong Shaoyang would definitely say this to him in the end.
So she had to rely on herself.
"Murong Shaoyang, do you really like me?" Mu Jinxi helplessly asked Murong Shaoyang.
Murong Shaoyang frowned, his face was filled with thought.
"Why?" Mu Jinxi was finally willing to look at him, and she was calm to the point that she didn't seem like her. Previously, she would always be excited to see him, but now, she didn't know why she suddenly couldn't continue acting like that.
"Do you still remember that girl from that day?" After a long period of silence, he finally opened his mouth.
He hesitated.
"Which one?" Mu Jinxi asked back without even thinking.
"That annoying girl who stopped us that day." Murong Shaoyang patiently explained in detail, afraid that the woman would not be able to recall it, but how could she not?
"I remember." Mu Jinxi continued to reply with a calm tone.
"Do you hate anyone who comes near me?" His frown deepened as he continued to ask.
"No." His tone was as calm as ever.
This kind of conversation made him feel that something was wrong and he didn't want to continue nagging. He no longer circled around them and said, "Have you made a girl do such a shameful thing to take care of her feelings before?"
A reproach is not a doubt.
It was as if the judge had convicted a defendant, harsh and broken.
"I was just joking." This explanation seemed feeble.
Murong Shaoyang stared at her closely for a long while before he spoke again. "That's too much." He turned to go, not giving her a chance to beg forgiveness.
He didn't want to force her that much. How could a girl like her not think of the humiliating result that would be brought to a girl?
But now it was because she was angry that he had so casually pushed her over to someone else. There was no place for her to hide her sadness. Slowly, it accumulated into anger, and she vented her anger on the person who thought of her first.
You can't, Ouyang Che can't. Other than the two of them who were familiar with each other, there was only one other girl who gave her a bad impression.
"She can only blame her bad luck." Mu Jinxi muttered as she gazed at his retreating back that was getting further and further away.
"Only... "It's her bad luck …" Then his voice broke.
No matter what, there was a layer of connection between him and her, although it was so thin that it could collapse at any time, Mu Jinxi felt satisfied.
However, that thin layer of thread was insufficient to connect them. Only by constantly patching up the cracks would one side be able to prevent the thin layer of thread from breaking apart while the other side continued to pursue further and further away.
So she went to guard the unrequited love carefully, waiting for him to say I love you one day. But now, Ouyang Che was pushing himself towards someone else, she knew that this was very tiring, but she would still persevere on.
But what about the man? Other than running away, what else did he do? That's right, she didn't have the qualifications to ask someone to like her for a short period of time. But at the very least, even if someone else were to criticize her, they wouldn't be willing to have a good chat with her …
"This is too much …" The woman sadly squatted down, "This is too much …" she said angrily, hugging herself.
The man in the car raised his head and looked at the golden words that were written in a flamboyant manner. He didn't expect that he would arrive here so casually.
Is it fate... He smiled and whispered, then picked up his cell phone and dialed the number.
The woman in bed tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She was shocked by the sudden light from her cell phone's screen.
Mu Jinxi was already fast asleep, she did not have the habit of turning off the ringtone to go to sleep.
The phone was placed on the table and rang the next second.
