C10

For the next few days, she went to the library every day.

When he returned home that night, he did not see Mu Yanze again.

Ma said, this time, I'm going away for a long time.

Hearing this, the sense of loss in Mu Liangxi's heart, was real.

After the College Entrance Test, he had graduated from senior high. His good friend Liang Sheng was preparing to leave the country to study.

As for her, she was getting more and more bored by herself.

"Liangxi, let's see what this is."

"Zither music."

At night, when she was recording with Liang Sheng in her room, her mother brought her this.

Mu Liangxi had learnt piano from a young age, and it was also her hobby, so she had even received quite a few awards.

Previously, she didn't go out all day, but she liked to play the piano at home.

However —

It had been a long time since she had touched the piano, because she didn't dare to be distracted in her third year of high school.

Now that the college entrance exam was over, she could once again play the piano.

"I bought this for you. You should relax during this period. I hope that you can play the most beautiful melody on the coming of age ceremony."

Adulthood...

If not for what his mother had said, Mu Liangxi would have almost forgotten that it was his eighteenth birthday in a month or so.

At that time, the results should have been out. If the score wasn't good enough, she wouldn't have had the mood to have a birthday.

"This time, Mom is going to give you a birthday party. Baby, your coming of age ceremony will definitely be very memorable for you."

The Aunt Mu only had such a precious daughter, so naturally when they reached adulthood, they had to make up for their extravagant and grand etiquette. The Mu family could be considered as one of the top in An City. In fact, the Mrs. Mu had other intentions, she just wanted to see if there were any suitable people …

After all, no matter how outstanding a girl was, the final destination for her was still her husband.

"There's no need to be so extravagant. Just like in the past, we can stay at home."

Mu Liangxi did not have many friends, and went overseas again, so even if she had a birthday feast, she would still not recognize any of those people who had come before.

She would find it strange if any of the grandfathers of her uncles gave her a girl to celebrate her birthday.

"I'll leave everything to you, but you have to listen to me. Mom is already preparing."

Mu Liangxi, "..."

Alright, I can't let mother down, it's just that —

"Then when the time comes, can I invite my friends?"

"Of course."

The friend that Mu Liangxi was talking about was naturally not Liang Sheng who was abroad, but … Her previous secret crush on Cheng Hao.

These few times in the library, many questions that she did not know of were all taught to her by Cheng Hao.

In the huge living room, with the sounds of the melody, Mu Liangxi looked at the music and smiled.

Fortunately, he had not learned the piano in vain over the past ten years. It could not be considered unfamiliar.

Previously, Liang Sheng had said that with her experience as a pianist, she did not need to test into any university, and directly applied for the France Music College.

But Mu Liangxi only treated the piano as his interest, if there was a day when it became his work, then maybe …

She wouldn't love him so much.

When Mu Yanze stepped into the house, he heard the sound of the piano, he raised his eyes, and the image of a beautiful woman appeared in his sight.

She was sitting at the piano in a short white dress, her ponytail tucked up behind her, her back to him.

When the white, nimble fingers made contact with the musical notes, the sound they produced was truly beautiful.

Even if it was just her back, he could imagine that she must be having a happy expression on her face right now. Her crimson lips were slightly raised.

Mu Liangxi enjoyed the feeling of dancing between his fingers.

"Teacher is back."

When the servant saw Mu Yanze, he accidentally said something. However, the zither music suddenly stopped.

Mu Liangxi's movements stopped, he slowly turned around and saw the man who was also looking at her.

It had been almost half a month. This time, he had been away for longer than usual.

"Brother."

She stood up and called out. The man nodded and without another word went upstairs to his room.

If it was before, she would happily stay and chat with him for a while even if he returned after two or three days.

But this time, everything was different. She could clearly feel the estrangement and indifference on his face.

Since when had the relationship between them changed from being silent and meeting each other's eyes?

The girl no longer had the mood to play the zither. It was as if all of her previous good mood had disappeared.

"Dong Dong Dong", the girl outside the door mustered up her courage and knocked on his door.

However, a minute passed and no one came to open the door.

"Brother …"

After knocking for the second time, she wondered if he was resting. After all, he had been away for so long.

Forget it, she should just wait for him to rest before coming to find him.

Just as he was about to give up and return to his room, the door was opened. The man had just come out of the bathroom when he heard her voice.

Wearing a bathrobe, her collar slightly opened and her faintly discernible bronze chest made her involuntarily lower her eyes.

"What's the matter?"

The man's tone sounded strange, as if he was talking to an unfamiliar person.

"I have something that I want to tell you …" "But, let's talk about it another day."

"If you have something to say, say it now."

At Mu Yanze's side, there was no other time, only now. If he didn't say it now, then he wouldn't say it in the future.

Mu Liangxi bit her lips, seeing that the man had turned around and entered the house, she could only follow him in, watching him pour himself a glass of red wine and sit on the sofa, shaking his goblet as he waited for her to continue speaking, filling it with words.

The girl held her breath and said:

"Why are you … You've been ignoring me all this time? "

"Quite the opposite."

The sudden words from the man made the girl lose her confidence even more. She bit her lips and looked at that person.

Who was it that wanted to avoid him?

And now, it was actually him who didn't want to bother with her?

"I didn't ignore you, brother …" I just can't figure it out. "

There were many things she could not understand, many things.

For example, was he really drunk that night, or did he really think of her as someone else?

For example, why did he come into her room that night?

For example, why did she no longer rely on him during this period of time? Instead … He was a bit scared and even subconsciously refused him.

These were all things she couldn't figure out herself.

But he also knew that there would be no answer.

"Perhaps, I overthought things … Brother, we're still the best siblings, alright? "

Best brother and sister.

Mu Yanze wiped the smile off her face, and gulped down the wine. That deep smile, made her a little lost.

What did he mean?

"Come here."

"…"

Mu Liangxi did not hesitate as he walked towards him.

She was standing right in front of him, and just as she wanted to say something, her wrist was grabbed by that big palm. The girl was startled, and in the next moment, her center of gravity unsteadily fell into his arms.

He was wearing only a bathrobe, and Mu Liangxi's first reaction was to get up.

However, the palm held her waist and did not allow her to move.

The aura of a man was so close to her face that it caressed her face with his fingers.

"Liangxi, if I kiss you again now, will you try to deceive yourself that I'm just drunk and mistook you for someone else?"

If I kiss you again now...

However, he didn't give the girl any chance to think or react. The warmth from his lips made her body shudder violently.
