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, he wondered how it could be that people were so different from each other.

If she doesn't complete the task, the Su family will never be able to get out of trouble and her parents will not be able to return home.

Gu Muqing also accepted the task, but he did not 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 went back now, not only would it not advance the progress here, but it would also make her more sad because of seeing 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 Muqing booked a table at a cafe near the school.

When she arrived, he was already sitting at his seat waiting for her.

I've even ordered her favorite raw coconut latte.

Su Mi sat down opposite him and said, "Sorry, I kept you waiting."

"My dear, 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.

"Just now, 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 looked at her tenderly, "Qingqing, did he bully you?"

It is obvious who he is talking about.

Bullying? Although Xiao Xuanjin's family is full of gangsters, he is not a bad person at heart.

"Brother Mu Qing, what do you want to talk to me about?" 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 just want to ask you, do you want to go back to Jiangcheng?"

"Not now. I have unfinished business."

Su Mi still decisively refused.

Gu Muqing seemed to know what she would say, "Qingqing, are you in trouble now?"

Su Mi found it difficult to think about the tangle between her and Xiao Xuanjin.

However, even if Gu Mucheng was told, it would not be of much help.

"That's it. I can do it myself."

"Qingqing, you haven't thanked me yet."

Gu Muqing said this suddenly, as if he had helped himself.

Su Mi was a little confused, "Brother Mu Qing, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Muqing saw that she was in a state of confusion, 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 in your hand."

Su Mi pulled up his sleeves, revealing the red rope, "You mean this?"

"Yes, let me see."

Su Mi took it down and handed it to him.

Gu Mucheng held it in his hand and examined it for a moment. The bell rang silently, but the dark flower started to sound. It was already a dead object.

Clearly, 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 things to her.

Su Mi took over and asked, "Brother Mu Qing, is there any problem?"

Su Mi felt something was wrong ever since she took the bell back yesterday, but the system was still in sleep mode and she couldn't tell what was going on.

Gu Muqing raised his eyes and asked, "Qingqing, do you like it here?"

Was he asking about Hwaseong? Su Mi looked outside. In winter, he could still see the prosperous and ancient city 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.”

"So 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 and said, "Look at my memory. You said you were just seeking his protection."

Su Mi did not comment.

Gu Mucheng looked at her and 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 help me with?"

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 only arouse his possessiveness towards you."

Su Mi looked at him, then looked at himself, and some things suddenly became clear.

So, Xiao Xuanjin acted like that yesterday just because he was jealous?

Did he think she treasured the bracelet so much because of Gu Muqing?

She was wondering why Xiao Xuanjin was so crazy that he would pick on a small trinket. So this is what happened...

But how could he be so sure that the Gu Mucheng incident 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, he knew it very well."

If it is a stranger, generally no association will arise, but if it is a close person, everyone will think too much.

These words 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 identical bells on their hands. She remembered that she took them off to look at them, and after comparing them, she helped Gu Mucheng put them back on.

...So, when Xiao Xuanjin drove past at that time, he actually saw it.

No wonder he was so angry yesterday. He must have thought that the thing she valued more than her life was actually Gu Muqing.

Later, she slapped him and threatened him, but he still let bygones be bygones and risked his life to get an object that, in his opinion, represented her cherishment for Gu Muqing.

And he did all this just to prevent her from hating him.

Su Mi felt depressed whenever he thought about this series of events.

Whenever she 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, Su Mi felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, she was focusing on regret, but forgot one important point...

"Qingqing, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Muqing'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, and that was not what he wanted to see.

He hoped that she would not change, and would remain as arrogant and cold as before, but he also understood that it was impossible now that things had come to this.

Unexpectedly, he still helped Xiao Xuanjin invisibly.
