Chapter 60 Do you like Xiao Xuanjin?
"Brother Mu Qing, congratulations, you can go back to Jiangcheng now."
Unlike her, she doesn't know when she will complete the task.
"Qingqing, you may have misunderstood. I can go back anytime."
When Su Mi heard this, she wondered why people were so different from each other.
If she doesn't complete the task, the Su family will never be able to escape from the predicament, and her parents will not be able to return home.
Gu Mucheng also accepted the task, but he didn't have the same worries as her.
It's so unfair.
"Brother Mu Qing, please go back. I...can't go back for the time being."
If she goes back now, not only will it not advance the progress here, but it will also make her more sad when she sees Jiang Cheng's home.
Since her parents are not around, there is not much point for her to go back.
"Qingqing, let's meet. I have something to tell you."
"good."
Gu Mucheng booked a table at a cafe near the school.
When she arrived, he was already sitting at his seat waiting for her.
I've also ordered her favorite raw coconut latte.
Su Mi sat down opposite him and said, "Sorry, I kept you waiting."
"Qingqing, it doesn't matter how long I wait for you."
While he was speaking, Su Mi felt Gu Mucheng's warm and gentle gaze. He was always like this, without any temper at all.
"It's just that you came back from outside. Did you go out to play yesterday?"
Su Mi nodded, "Yeah."
After answering, she picked up the cup and took a small sip.
Gu Muqing kept looking at her gently, "Qingqing, did he bully you?"
It's obvious who he's talking about.
Bullying? Although Xiao Xuanjin was a bit of a scoundrel, he wasn't a bad person at heart.
"Brother Mu Qing, what do you want me for?" Su Mi didn't answer, nor did she intend to talk about Xiao Xuanjin, because she felt there was nothing to say.
Gu Muqing didn't care about her behavior. "I want to ask you, do you want to go back to Jiangcheng?"
"Not now, I have unfinished business."
Su Mi still refused decisively.
Gu Muqing seemed to know what she would say, "Qingqing, are you in trouble now?"
Su Mi felt that it was quite difficult for her and Xiao Xuanjin to be in such a tangle.
However, even if Gu Mucheng said it, he couldn't help much.
"That's it. I can handle it myself."
"Qingqing, you haven't thanked me yet."
Gu Mucheng said this suddenly, as if he had helped himself.
Su Mi was a little confused, "Brother Mu Qing, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing that she was confused, Gu Mucheng glanced at her arm vaguely, and raised the corner of his eyebrow slightly.
Could it be...that she doesn't know?
"Let me see the bell on your hand."
Su Mi pulled up her sleeves, revealing the red string, "Are you talking about this?"
"Yes, let me see."
Su Mi took it off and handed it to him.
Gu Mucheng held it in his hand and looked at it for a moment. The bell was silent, but the dark flowers were blooming. It was already a dead object.
Obviously, its mission has been accomplished.
But Qingqing...seems unaware of this.
This is interesting. What happened to them yesterday that made them miss such a critical moment?
Unless she didn't wear it all the time yesterday for some reason.
It seems that Xiao Xuanjin really took action.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then returned the thing to her.
Su Mi took over and asked, "Brother Mu Qing, is there any problem?"
Ever since Su Mi got the bell back yesterday, she felt something was wrong, but the system was still dormant and she couldn't tell for herself.
Gu Muqing raised her eyes and asked, "Qingqing, do you like it here?"
Was he asking about Huacheng? Su Mi looked outside. The prosperous and ancient city, in winter, could be seen covered in silver from time to time.
You can see the snow, but you also have to endure the cold.
“There are good and bad things.”
"Then do you like Xiao Xuanjin?"
This question...
Su Mi smiled and said, "Brother Mu Qing, I think you asked me this question before."
Gu Muqing scratched his head. "Look at my memory. You said you were just seeking his protection."
Su Mi remained silent.
Looking at her, Gu Mucheng confirmed again that she was not completely attracted to Xiao Xuanjin.
"Brother Mu Qing, you just said that you helped me, what exactly did you say?"
Gu Muqing showed her the same bracelet she had on her hand, "I showed this to Xiao Xuanjin on purpose that day, also to help you."
"Although you are with him now, he doesn't cherish you. What I am doing will arouse his possessiveness towards you."
Su Mi looked at his, then looked at himself, and some things suddenly became clear.
So, Xiao Xuanjin made such a fuss yesterday just because he was jealous?
Did he think she treasured the bracelet so much because of Gu Muqing?
She was originally wondering why Xiao Xuanjin was so crazy that he would pick on a small trinket. So that's what happened...
But how could he be so sure that Gu Mucheng had something to do with her?
It could also be a coincidence. There are so many similar things in this world.
There must be some misunderstanding here.
"Brother Mu Qing, just because something looks similar doesn't seem to mean anything."
Gu Muqing shook his head. "You forgot. That day, when we met again, he saw it. You treated me differently, and he knew it very well."
If it is a stranger, generally no association will be made, but if it is a close person, everyone will think too much.
This reminded Su Mi, and she quickly recalled what happened that day.
She was very happy to meet Gu Mucheng again, and she also noticed the same bells on their hands. She remembered that she took them off to look at them, compared them, and then helped Gu Mucheng put them back on.
...So, when Xiao Xuanjin drove over at that time, he actually saw it.
No wonder he was so angry yesterday. He must have felt that the thing she valued more than her life was actually Gu Mucheng.
Later, she slapped him and said harsh words to him, but he still put aside the past grudges and risked his life to get an object that, in his opinion, represented her cherishment for Gu Mucheng.
And he did all this just to prevent her from hating him.
Su Mi felt depressed when he thought about this series of events.
Whenever Su Mi thought of yesterday, when they met in the water, his pale and bloodless face, his icy hands, and the expression on his face when he returned the things to her, she felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, she was so focused on regret that she forgot one important point...
"Qingqing, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Mucheng's shout interrupted her emotions.
Su Mi looked at Gu Muqing helplessly, "Nothing."
"Brother Mu Qing, when will you return to Jiangcheng?"
Gu Muqing observed her remorseful look. It was obvious that she had just thought of something that made her feel guilty towards that person.
No, guilt would only make her soft-hearted and compromise, which was not what he wanted to see.
He hoped that she would not change and would still be as arrogant and conceited as before, but he also understood that since things had come to this point, that was impossible.
Unexpectedly, he helped Xiao Xuanjin invisibly.
