In the period of time before Zuo Yuanyuan came back, Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang no longer talked. Mu Chuyang looked at Duan Yunfei, and in order to avoid her gaze, Duan Yunfei lowered her head and played with the object that was placed on the table.
When Zuo Yuan returned, she only saw the awkward atmosphere between Duan Yunfei and herself. She could not help but sigh in her heart.
"Yun Fei, Chu Yang, I'm back." Zuo Yuan acted relaxed and broke the deadlock.
"You've finally returned. You've been gone for quite some time. If you don't return soon, I'll have to go find you." Although Duan Yunfei had a calm personality, she was still a person who could not hold back her words. Making her stay silent for that long was really making things difficult for her.
"I don't think I went there very long either. You see, the cinnamon cake Aunt Yun prepared for you, and the winnowing cake that I made for you, the one that the Lady Boss taught me last time, you haven't tasted it yet right? "Chu Yang, last time, you did not have the chance to go with us to Dark Dun. I wonder what the story behind the winnowing cake is, I will have a taste of it today."
Due to Duan Yunfei's cold treatment of him, Mu Chuyang's expression right now wasn't very good, but since Zuo Yuanyuan said so, he couldn't keep a cold face towards her either.
"Isn't that because you didn't bring me along? That time, even Xiu Huang went along, but you didn't bring me along, what other friendship did you have? "
"Isn't that because you are grounded? If not for this reason, we would have definitely brought you along as well. "
When he mentioned Wu Dun's group, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but think that the reason Mu Chuyang was grounded was also because of him.
"Oh? Then if I go, will Xiu Huang not have to go? " When Mu Chuyang thought about Xiu Heng and Xiu Huang, this pair of brothers, he could not help but feel jealous. The former was someone that Duan Yunfei had placed at the top of her heart for three years, and she was only jealous of the latter because of Xiu Heng. However, Xiu Huang was different from him.
"What does Xiu Huang have to do with you? Didn't you say that you missed that opportunity? Alright, stop talking about this matter. Just tell me whether you want to eat or not. " Zuo Yuan had started to get angry. Mu Chuyang clearly knew how Zuo Yuan felt about Xiu Huang, but he still made fun of his. This made Zuo Yuan a little unhappy.
"Yes, of course I did. Isn't this made by our Miss Zuo Chong herself? How can I not eat it?" Mu Chuyang knew that Zuo Yuan must have a bad temper now, so he said something good to make her happy.
had always treated Zuo Yuanyuan like a brother and sister. Mu Chuyang had always taken care of Duan Yunfei and Zuo Yuan, but this kind of relationship was different. Towards Duan Yunfei, Mu Chuyang cared more, more, nervous, more, it was to accompany him.
As expected, Zuo Yuanyuan laughed when she heard that.
"Yunfei, what are in these two boxes?"
Zuo Yuan noticed the two boxes beside Duan Yunfei, and asked Duan Yunfei while pointing at them.
"Hmm?" Duan Yunfei was still immersed in her self-reproach, but when Zuo Yuan spoke to her, she did not react at all.
"Oh, it's a gift." When Duan Yunfei realized that Zuo Yuan was asking her about the gift box on her table, she originally wanted to say "It's a gift from Chu Yang", but Mu Chuyang's name was stuck on his mouth and he couldn't say it.
Hearing Duan Yunfei's reply, Zuo Yuan couldn't help but look at Mu Chuyang. As expected, Mu Chuyang's face was filled with the expression on his hands.
"Is this a gift from Chu Yang?" Zuo Yuan was not willing to see the atmosphere darken, "Chu Yang, why are you only giving Yun Fei presents, where are my gifts?"
Mu Chuyang knew that Zuo Yuan was trying to smooth things over, and was not willing to see him embarrassed.
"I've already left your present at the Zuo Xiang Fu this morning. You won't be able to eat it when you go back tomorrow."
"That's good. If you don't give me a present, I'll never see you again."
Following that, Zuo Yuanyuan did not know what to say. It was as if no matter what they said, there would definitely be someone silent between Duan Yunfei and herself, as if they were trying to escape from each other. It did not bode well.
"Oh yeah, Chu Yang, can you come with me to the kitchen to see if there are any small plates?"
Zuo Yuanyuan had solemnly vowed that she was not afraid of the sky getting dark, and now she wanted Mu Chuyang to go with her. Furthermore, after the Minister Zuo bought the garden, he had not come in, so the kitchen was probably empty. How could there be any dishes?
Staying here was only endless awkwardness, so Mu Chuyang agreed to Zuo Yuanyuan's request.
"Yun Fei, you stay here for now. We'll be back soon."
When Mu Chuyang left, he did not say anything to Duan Yunfei, and did not even look at him once.
Looking at the backs of Mu Chuyang and Zuo Yuanyuan leaving, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but feel that the two people in front of him were extremely compatible. One was the daughter of the current Prime Minister, the other was the Young Prince who enjoyed the royal grace. If it wasn't for the fact that Zuo Yuan had Xiu Huang in her heart, and Mu Chuyang placed his entire heart and soul on Duan Yunfei, perhaps the road of Mu Chuyang's relationship would have been smoother.
Mu Chuyang had never been so cold and indifferent to Duan Yunfei and had always been by Duan Yunfei's side since she was young. Duan Yunfei never thought that one day, Mu Chuyang would leave him and that he would have nothing to say to her.
However, all of these things that he thought would never happen had now truly happened, hitting Duan Yunfei right on the head.
Departure was the most common thing in this time period. Those people that you took for granted to stay by your side would also silently leave one day. It was just like how the young Duan Yunfei had not thought that the Imperial Consort Duanshuo would suddenly pass away from the world, or how she had not thought that Yuwen Di would suddenly want her to marry someone.
Duan Yunfei suddenly thought of this poem. Maybe this time, Mu Chuyang was really going to leave her, and never light up the path ahead for her again. If her future was uncertain, she would be the only one to carry the burden and advance forward.
