Ji Muhan seemed lost in thought, his hands casually in his pockets. It was unclear whether he heard her mutterings or not; his aloof demeanor suggested that nothing could move him.

Mo Qing suppressed the soreness rising in her throat, her voice no longer simply soft and sweet, but also trembling slightly, "Hanhan, I'm leaving."

This time it's for real, not just something said in anger like yesterday!

Ji Muhan's eyes were no longer cold and indifferent; a slight ripple finally appeared. "Are you blaming me?"

Mo Qing denied it without hesitation, glaring at him fiercely to prove she meant it, "I didn't have any cherry blossoms."

Ji Muhan calmly uttered two words, "You Ying."

Mo Qing was annoyed, her clear eyes filled with obvious anger. She gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "I...I didn't have Ying." Ji Muhan obviously didn't want to delve into this issue with her either. She looked back at her calmly and said indifferently, "I don't think you'll obediently go back on your own."

Moreover, since Mo Yanyu had already asked him directly, he naturally couldn't deny it outright. At that time, the "Third Brother" she mentioned had already arrived...

So... what she suspected about complaining wasn't the case at all!

Mo Qing's eyes reddened, but she didn't want him to see it, so she stubbornly pursed them into a thin line. However, no matter how hard she tried to hold back, the bitterness she swallowed made it impossible for her to calm down. "Ji Muhan, you're just being unreasonable. How do you know I won't obediently go back? I think you don't trust me at all!" Of course, he wouldn't indulge her temperament unconditionally like her third brother and the others. However, sometimes, she always felt that there seemed to be a hint of something between them, and Ji Muhan would ruthlessly cut off that ambiguous thread between them.

She didn't know if other people's relationships were like this, but hers always seemed to be bittersweet. Perhaps it was because she couldn't have what she wanted that she felt this way. Her one-sided crush made her feel incredibly exhausted.

He always delivered a fatal blow without mercy just when she thought she had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, causing her to fall off a precipice.

She didn't know if she had the strength to climb down the cliff this time... She looked up at the blue and white clouds, as if trying to hold back the tears that were about to overflow. "Ji Muhan, you have never believed me. You have always treated me like a child. But I know what it means to like someone, and I know what I should and shouldn't do!"

When Ji Muhan saw that Mo Qing was angry, the usually cheerful and smiling Ji Muhan looked like a cat that was about to pounce and was about to stab him at any moment.

For the first time, Ji Muhan, who has always been aloof and indifferent and rarely considers the feelings of others, began to reflect on whether her actions were really too much!

He was used to being alone and didn't know how to comfort or appease others. He was also used to keeping his emotions hidden, so he could only look at Mo Qing with a blank expression and remain silent.

That's perfect, it completely puts Mo Zuzong in a position of being wronged.

"I was so naive to think that your submission yesterday was because..." Mo Qing looked away, the saliva she swallowed felt like boiling water scalding her throat, and her usually soft and sweet voice became noticeably hoarse.

"You liked me, even just a little bit... but it was all for nothing again."

She thought that even if he didn't like her enough now, as long as he liked her a little more, day after day, month after month, year after year, there would come a day when he would treat her the way she treated him!

Why is it that it never gets warm?

If you don't like her, why give her hope?

"Ha." Mo Qing laughed self-deprecatingly. "So... it turns out I was just being delusional..."

If she were the calm and intelligent woman she usually is, she would have noticed the deep regret and heartache in Ji Muhan's eyes.

Unfortunately... she's destined not to find out now, because Mo Jiaoqibao has gone too far again!

She was the only one who was furious from beginning to end, while Ji Muhan remained calm and composed as if nothing had happened. This was unacceptable!

Ji Muhan couldn't bear to see Mo Qing looking so aggrieved and angry. What else could she do? Naturally, she had to coax her!

But-

The delicate girl, displaying remarkable backbone, slapped away his outstretched hand. Her fair face was tightly scrunched up, and her angry expression practically screamed "I'm angry!" on her forehead.

"Hanhan, for a fleeting moment, I thought... you probably liked me." Mo Qing stared at him with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, her voice slightly hoarse, "But why?"

Why treat her like this?

For a fleeting moment, she even mistakenly believed he was real. In the end, it was all for nothing.

Mo Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation, hoping that Ji Muhan would answer no, even if... it was a lie!

really--

He still doesn't love her!

She wouldn't even agree to lie to him...

That's right, he never loved her, so why would he lie to her?

She understood that the reason Hanhan was treating her so well now was simply because they had gone through thick and thin together during that mission, which was why he treated her differently now…

However, understanding is one thing, but admitting and accepting it is another...

Hanhan, she was clearly prepared to spend her whole life with him, but why did she still feel so sad when he remained silent?
