Or rather, it could be said that Mu Xiaoshi didn't want to marry the person she liked, but that person was still thinking about other people.

And the reason why she hid it from Bai Su and risked her life to get help with the unreliable zither music was so that Bai Su wouldn't find her. She didn't want to be questioned about that night's events.

She did not want her determination to become a joke in the eyes of others.

Originally, she thought she could last until she left Qin City, but she didn't know that Bai Su had found her so quickly.

Looking at the complicated expression on Mu Xiaoshi's face, Bai Su knew that her guess was right. Something unexpected must have happened that night.

She could see a trace of hatred towards her in Mu Xiaoshi's eyes, although it wasn't deep. Or it could be said that Mu Xiaoshi was a kind-hearted person in the first place. Even if she resented a person, she wouldn't be so extreme, which was why she didn't understand it deeply.

"What's going on? What happened? " Bai Su stared at Mu Xiaoshi, and her brows knitted a little, "Little Ten, although we just got to know each other, and we became a little unhappy from our first meeting. But, I have never treated you as an enemy. "

After a slight pause, Bai Su held Mu Xiaoshi's hand: "In my heart, you have always been my friend."

Hearing the word "friend", Mu Xiaoshi's hands trembled slightly.

He raised his eyes and looked at her with surprise.

Although she did not say anything, Bai Su knew what she was thinking.

She said, "If I didn't treat you as a friend, how could I give you the death-faking medicine? How could I care if you became a victim of a political marriage between two countries?"

Bai Su released her hand and stood up.

She took two steps to the window.

Outside the window, a bright moon slowly rose in the night sky.

Bai Su sighed softly and turned around.

"Mu Xiaoshi, do you know? Every time I look at you, it's like looking at another person. " Bai Su stared at Mu Xiaoshi, and said the words she buried in the deepest part of her heart.

"My body has always been weak and sickly ever since I was young, and I'm not favored by royal father. If it wasn't for Master taking me in, I probably wouldn't be in this world anymore. Originally, I thought I would follow Master around everywhere for the rest of my life.

However, there suddenly came a day when royal father passed down an imperial decree to send me to Beiming He.

I didn't want to marry your sixth brother, but I was powerless to resist. In the end, it led to the end of the tragedy.

Little Ten, the fact that you were able to grow up in the Northern Mushroom Palace and still maintain your pure heart is not something that I can compare to.

Today, no matter how rebellious you are, you can make your own choice for your happiness. That was something I wanted to do but failed to do.

You are much stronger than me.

If possible, Little Ten, I hope we can become friends. "

Bai Su had really liked Mu Xiaoshi from the beginning, it was an instinctive type of like, a type that had nothing to do with the outside world.

After hearing what Bai Su had said, Mu Xiaoshi's silent face slightly changed.

Although she did not want to admit it, she had no choice but to admit it. In fact, in her heart, she had long since considered Bai Su as a friend.

However, she didn't know it before.

After that night of intense pain, only then did Mu Xiaoshi understand why she was feeling so sad.

It was not only because the zither strings might like Bai Su, but also because in her heart, she had long since treated Bai Su as a friend.

Ever since she was young, she had no friends. Other than the occasional care and concern from her brothers, she didn't have any true feelings behind her.

One could imagine, when the man he liked liked his only friend … That feeling was as unbearable as it could be.

Besides.

When she gave her life to him...

"Do you know …" Mu Xiaoshi suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Bai Su, "Somehow, I have already treated you as a friend. "But …"

Her voice broke.

Bai Su's heart thumped once.

She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that the things Mu Xiaoshi was going to say next would be very …

What is it? She didn't know how to describe it.

Mu Xiaoshi took a deep breath, trying her best to look normal.

She said softly, "Did you know? That day, when he was with me, he shouted 'Su …'

"…"

Mu Xiaoshi's gaze seemed to be distant, looking at Bai Su, yet it seemed to pierce into her heart.

"Other than you, I can't think who he's calling. Hehe, when I decided to give myself to him, I received such an outcome. Isn't that funny? "

"No …"

Bai Su didn't know whether she was denying that the name the zither strings were calling out to was not her, or denying that she, Mu Xiaoshi, was not someone to be laughed at.

When she heard Mu Xiaoshi talk about the truth of that night, her brain had already exploded with a "boom" sound.

Perhaps, she finally understood why Mu Xiaoshi still chose to take the fake death medicine and escape with her life after that night.

However, all of this didn't make sense.

She … Qin String...

How could the strings like her?

They... Other than the fact that they had charged through the Exquisite Tower together and experienced life and death situations together, they had never interacted at all.

Moreover, that experience of life and death together was only a trade.

No, perhaps, she had also met him once before, when there was an epidemic in Beimu Kingdom, she had saved him before.

And later, he had helped her.

Bai Su had always thought that this kind of relationship between the two of them could only be considered average and simply didn't have any other emotions.

Thus, hearing Mu Xiaoshi's words, her first reaction was impossible.

Right, impossible!

Bai Su suddenly raised her head as her gaze tightly locked onto Mu Xiaoshi, "Impossible, this is impossible. You must have heard wrong. " The corner of her mouth widened into a smile, "Heh, don't you think that's funny? Xuan King and I … We have only met by chance a few times. It's impossible for him to be like me, and even more impossible for me to be like him. "

Even though Bai Su had denied it so completely, Mu Xiaoshi's calm face still did not change at all.

"Mu Xiaoshi, are you listening to me?" Bai Su was getting anxious.

He was originally standing by the window, but now he walked to stand in front of Mu Xiaoshi in large strides.

"I... I have someone I like! I believe this Xuan King Lord is clear. " Bai Su anxiously replied, "So, there's really nothing going on between him and me."

Bai Su knew what she was worried about.

She really treated Mu Xiaoshi as a friend, she didn't want him to miss out on her lifetime of happiness just because of this mysterious speculation.

"Mu Xiaoshi, you better pull yourself together. The Mu Xiaoshi that I know, would never bury everything just because of a little doubt, like how she is now, free and easy. " Bai Su was a little disappointed. "Of course, if you don't like him that much, just pretend I didn't say anything today."

Mu Xiaoshi's brows slightly knitted, "You said … You have someone you like? "Who?"
