At this time, there were two people sitting in the tavern. One was Xuanyuan Zhan and the other was Mu Ming.
Mu Ming, who was drinking in front of him, asked bluntly.
When Mu Ming heard Xuanyuan Zhan's words, he also felt that Xuanyuan Zhan knew what he was thinking about. He picked up the alcohol on the table and gulped it down as if he was about to leave for battle, and had a very determined expression on his face.
Xuanyuan Zhan was very curious as to what he would say, but he only heard Mu Ming's confession.
"Indeed, I now realize that I do like Qing Er." When Mu Ming said this, his face was slightly flushed. It was unknown whether he was drunk or shy.
Seeing Mu Ming's reaction, Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't help but let out a laugh. Initially, he thought that his serious expression would reveal something earth-shattering. However, he didn't expect that this brat was just embarrassed.
"Don't laugh! "I'm so serious, how can you act like that? You're not allowed to laugh."
As he spoke, he moved to cover Xuanyuan Zhan's mouth, but Xuanyuan Zhan dodged him.
Mu Ming thought that it would have been embarrassing enough if he had said it out loud, but now Xuanyuan Zhan was laughing at him.
"I'm not laughing at you. I'm just curious as to why you didn't tell Shangguan Qinger."
Looking at his own brother, who didn't seem to have succeeded in his attack, and feeling that his actions just now had been a little too excessive. After sitting down, he decided to help Mu Ming make up for his previous actions.
"Of course I've done some things … "For a while, I finally decided to get up my nerve and give her something..." As he spoke, he recalled something.
During that time, he had been trying to find a way to express his love, but he had overheard people in the town saying that it was better to send flowers.
So I went to the flowers in the town and brought them to her house.
The flowers were returned soon after they were sent out, and a message was sent saying that she did not need them. And then whatever it was that they sent, they gave it back
"It shouldn't be. At the very least, they should at least accept it." I think the flowers you sent were not good enough? "
When Mu Ming said this, he felt it was strange. He remembered hearing Feng Yu mention it before. Although Shangguan Qinger didn't know if she was interested in Mu Ming, she at least wouldn't hate him.
"That's what I thought too! So I sent a bigger result. This time, the chrysanthemum was completely thrown away. "
Mu Ming seemed to have mentioned something sad as he sadly drank another cup of wine. "You …" Give them chrysanthemums. "
Mu Ming didn't notice anything amiss and nodded his head seriously.
"Do you know that these chrysanthemums are used as a memorial to the dead?"
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Mu Ming in front of him and felt that something was really wrong with him. Thus, he said, "Oh! I said he looked at me the wrong way when I bought it, and he said he was going to grieve. "
Mu Ming was enlightened.
Xuanyuan Zhan had finally understood that it was already good enough for Shangguan Qinger to not tear Mu Ming to shreds due to his temper. However, on the other hand, Xuanyuan Zhan did not hate Mu Ming at all.
"Mu Ming, have you ever tried to tell her?"
Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words, Mu Ming who was chattering nonstop suddenly quieted down and stared at him. Looking at his expression, Xuanyuan Zhan could tell that he was still hesitating, afraid that Shangguan Qinger would not agree.
"You can't be so slow on the job, you might get Shangguan Qinger if you say it now. But if you don't tell me what you'll do when that day comes when Shangguan Qinger is taken away by us. "
This sentence seemed to have come to a conclusion as Mu Ming was obviously stunned.
Thinking about what Xuanyuan Zhan had said made Mu Ming think about it a lot more.
He told Mu Ming that as a man, he should take the initiative to attack.
And when Xuanyuan Zhan said that he had broken through the person in his dreams, Mu Ming felt enlightened.
After that, he continued drinking, though it was unknown how much he drank. He only knew that it was Xuanyuan Zhan who stopped him from wanting to get drunk, telling him "If you want to get it, then you have to fight for it, don't wait until you lose it before you regret it."
He hurriedly took his leave, thinking about what he had said to her after returning to the manor to see Shangguan Qinger, and how he wanted to make his intentions clear to her.
Not long after he left the tavern and returned to his residence, he had been thinking about Xuanyuan Zhan's words. If Shangguan Qinger suddenly fell for someone else, she would lose her without even a chance.
He thought about whether he should snatch Shangguan Qinger's hand in marriage or just steal her from her on the day Shangguan Qinger marries.
As such, Mu Ming acted out the scene of him snatching the bride for himself. He even made some facial movements with a twisted expression on his face.
After that, he directly became a person as he paced back and forth outside. Not long later, he heard from a servant that Shangguan Qinger had also just returned home.
He even said that he seemed to have seen a man send her back. Mu Ming was originally worried that this sort of thing would happen, but when he heard that it was a man who sent her back, he became even more suspicious.
The alcohol in his brain had stimulated his nerves, and with what Xuanyuan Zhan had said to him today, a thought mysteriously formed in his mind. Could it be that Shangguan Qinger already had someone she liked?
Instantly, a surge of jealousy arose. Relying on the power of the alcohol that still had not faded, he went to find Shangguan Qinger.
As for how he came to Shangguan Qinger's courtyard, even he himself was not sure.
When he went in, he only saw Shangguan Qinger sitting alone in the courtyard, seemingly lost in thought.
When he thought back to how those eyes might not be for him, he immediately felt jealous in his heart.
Actually, at this moment, Shangguan Qinger had just returned from Feng Yu and her mind was filled with thoughts about Mu Ming's matter, not thinking about any other man.
"I wonder what he's doing now."
Just as Shangguan Qinger was still thinking this, she saw the meditating Elder Brother Mu come to her courtyard.
Upon seeing that it was Mu Ming, Shangguan Qinger was overjoyed to greet him and ask such a question. However, Mu Ming had not spoken a single word since he entered the room, which made Shangguan Qinger extremely angry, "Why are you not saying anything, what's the matter?"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to touch Mu Ming's forehead. Aside from the peculiar scent, there was nothing wrong with it. After realising that he wasn't sick either, the silent Mu Ming made Shangguan Qinger even more puzzled.
When Shangguan Qinger approached Mu Ming, although she didn't look like she was in pain on the outside, she was actually extremely shy. When Shangguan Qinger got close to Mu Ming, he was able to look at him carefully.
However, he noticed Mu Ming's dark expression and didn't understand what he meant.
Originally, Shangguan Qinger hadn't seen Mu Ming for a whole day, but now that she had met him, it was as if she had eaten gunpowder.
She suddenly became angry and said snappily, "What are you doing? Why did you come to me in the middle of the night to ask what's wrong?" "Your face is still so dark. Those who don't know what's going on think that I have done something to you."
Remembering that he was worried about himself a moment ago, Shangguan Qinger changed his expression, but he did not expect that it was because of his expression that caused Shangguan Qinger to act like this. He had clearly missed her for a whole day, but now she was talking to him like this.
The two of them stared at each other until Mu Ming, who was so angry, grabbed Shangguan Qinger's arm and started to talk.
"Where did you go?" However, the more Mu Ming acted this way, the more stubborn Shangguan Qinger became. She flung his hand away and turned her head to the other side.
"I'm asking you."
Because he was jealous, Mu Ming wanted to vent his feelings. He never thought that his words after being jealous would be so unpleasant.
Just as he was about to apologize, he heard Shangguan Qinger say, "You're asking me but I'm telling you, are you my person and want to control me like this?"
Shangguan Qinger who was straightforward said those words instinctively, but after she finished speaking, she also started to regret. Mu Ming, who had a dark expression a moment ago, suddenly remained silent. The look in her eyes became strange, as if there was a mist about to rain.
He wanted to take a breather, but he remembered the smell Mu Ming had when he first arrived. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Mu Ming say, "That's right, who am I? Why should I care? " The sound got lower and lower.
It was the first time for Shangguan Qinger to see Mu Ming like this, and she began to feel that she had gone too far with her words.
"I... "I didn't mean that either."
"Then what do you mean by what you said just now?" Mu Ming suddenly started to quibble and asked, "I was just too angry, you acted like this the moment I came back."
Shangguan Qinger also had an obedient face and replied honestly.
Hearing Shangguan Qinger's words, Mu Ming suddenly went close to him and continued asking, "Then aren't you going to meet another man!"
Looking at Mu Ming, who was less than a foot away from him, he suddenly had the illusion of coaxing a child.
He also felt that the person in front of him was cuter than he thought, but the jealousy in his eyes was too strong.
Shangguan Qinger thought about it and still decided to go along with it, "Why should I go see other men?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Mu Ming hug him and heard his heart beating rapidly through his clothes.
Only now did he understand that the Elder Brother Mu was the same as him, and was even more certain of the feelings the Elder Brother Mu had for him.
At the same time, she also discovered that Mu Ming's body was emitting a strange smell from the wine. "That's right, why did you …"
Before he could even finish the word 'drink', he felt something wet covering him.
It was Mu Ming's lips, probably because of the alcohol or perhaps because Shangguan Qinger's words had stimulated him to such an extent.
Shangguan Qinger, who was kissed by Mu Ming, was stunned in his embrace, and allowed to kiss like this.
So it turned out that Elder Brother Mu liked him as well, even though he was very happy in his heart. However, he suddenly remembered that Feng Yu had told him to be more reserved when being a girl, so he pushed Mu Ming away.
This push from Shangguan Qinger had also completely awakened Mu Ming. He thought about what happened a moment ago, and looked at the blushing Shangguan Qinger once again.
"I... "Just now, it was not intentional." For a moment, he didn't know what to say, "What do you mean? You just kissed me." You also said that it was not intentional, are you toying with me!? "
He thought that Mu Ming would say something along the lines of a confession, but in the end he said, "That's not what I meant."
Seeing Shangguan Qinger angry, Mu Ming, who was already dumb, did not know what to say.
While explaining, Shangguan Qinger shook her head and looked at Elder Brother Mu's panicked expression.
He wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
"Then what do you mean?" Shangguan Qinger who pretended to be angry continued to ask, and once again pulled the distance between the two of them.
"Really, Elder Brother Mu, you idiot!" As a result, he lightly patted Mu Ming and turned around to return to his room.
Mu Ming turned around and said seriously, "I like you, I …" "Seriously."
Shangguan Qinger very rarely saw Elder Brother Mu being so serious.
Much less this sentence, which was something Shangguan Qinger had been waiting for, instantly flushed red.
In order to prevent Mu Ming from seeing her, she broke away from Mu Ming and ran back into the room.
