◎A typical weekend◎
Yu Hai didn't speak. He raised his eyes and seemed to see Mu Heqing, or perhaps it was just an illusion.
"You still act all nonchalant, brothers! Get him! Let him know the price of betraying the boss!"
The burly man at the head roared, and the men behind him charged forward with great momentum, only to fall to the ground shortly afterward.
The black birds of Yu Hai are all in Ancheng; how could they possibly be a match for Yu Hai?
The Nightmare was overjoyed beside Mu and Qing; to him, the besieging of Yu Hai was a great source of amusement.
After the men fell, Yu Hai stood still and told the black birds to drag them away. The birds grabbed the men's clothes one by one and dragged them away with great effort.
Mu Heqing didn't understand what was so funny about this. She sacrificed her sleep early in the morning just to watch Yu Hai beat up others.
"Don't rush, keep watching." Bao Yan suppressed a laugh.
Mu and Qing had no choice but to watch patiently.
In a short while, another group of people arrived, all armed with weapons, and rushed menacingly towards Yu Hai. The result was the same: they fell to the ground and were dragged away by the bird.
Yu Hai stood still and didn't leave.
"There won't be any more, will there?" Mu Heqing asked.
Sure enough, the third wave of people arrived. Yu Hai sighed softly and stared blankly at his feather earring.
At this point, Nightmare was overjoyed.
"Hahahaha!" He clutched his stomach, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face.
Yu Hai looked up and asked, "Was it fun? And you even brought Qing along."
He knew from the beginning that they were upstairs.
Bao Yan carried Mu Heqing down from the roof. This time, he didn't pinch Mu Heqing's waist, but carried her down.
He was about to pinch Mu Heqing's waist when she pinched his butt.
Mu and Qing asked, "Are you comfortable? I feel the same way as you."
The Nightmare had no choice but to obediently carry her down.
"Who are these people, and why are they attacking you?" Mu Heqing asked Yu Hai curiously.
“They’re from the Hunting Kingdom gang. I don’t know who leaked my whereabouts and put these people in front of me.” Yu Hai said this to Bao Yan.
The Nightmare shrugged indifferently.
Mu Heqing knew about the Hunter Kingdom gangs. The previous fight between the two gangs seemed to have been sparked by Yu Hai, but she didn't know the specifics and hadn't asked Yu Hai.
"I have a good idea. Let He Qing be the referee and see who can take care of these people first," Bao Yan proposed a bloody competition.
"Boring," Yu Hai commented.
He then said to Mu Heqing, "Heqing, let's go."
Mu and Qing and Yu Hai walked out of the street corner. The fight just now did not affect the life here at all. When Bao Yan saw that no one paid attention to him, he followed them.
The bungalows here are built very irregularly. Just after walking out of a small path, you enter a family's yard, where their bed sheets and clothes are still drying in the yard.
"Then let's do something else. Let's get some people from Li Shi and some bugs from Aqifa, and have people compete with bugs, how about that?" Nightmare came up with a new idea.
"Boring. Go find Huazha, he'll definitely like this game."
Yu Hai waved away the bed sheet that was fluttering in the wind.
Mu and Qing changed the subject, saying, "I ran into Xiangyuan yesterday."
"What? Xiangyuan found you?" Bao Yan, who had been smiling, suddenly turned serious. "What did he say to you?"
"Nothing much, just normal conversation. But I haven't seen him in a long time."
"What's so great about him, Nightmare? You might as well change the match to see who kills Xiangyuan first," Yu Hai sneered.
Nightmare nodded: "This is better."
“You all hate Xiangyuan now too,” Mu Heqing said, brushing away the sheets that had blown onto her face. This family had washed far too many sheets.
Yu Hai said, "He's inherently repulsive; he'll never understand the situation."
As they were talking, Mu and Qing heard an ambiguous moan coming from inside the room.
"It seems we've stumbled upon someone's breeding ground," Yu Hai commented indifferently.
"What? Let me see." The word "taboo" didn't exist in the Nightmare's dictionary, and he was about to walk straight into the house.
Mu and Qing immediately grabbed Bao Yan with both hands and said, "Let's leave before they start cursing at us."
She led the Nightmare away like a cow, and sure enough, they hadn't gone far when they heard a man and a woman cursing.
"Who are you! What are you doing in someone's yard!"
Fortunately, no one chased after them; presumably, it wouldn't have been convenient anyway.
Mu Heqing was so embarrassed that he had a headache. Bao Yan looked at the helpless Mu Heqing and laughed again.
"Hahahaha!" Baoyan burst into laughter.
Mu and Qing had every reason to suspect that Bao Yan wanted to see her embarrassed.
"He Qing, kill him, I'll help you," Yu Hai said.
"good."
Mu and Qing summoned Aqifa's insects, and a dark mass of insects appeared all at once, each raising its stinger and chasing after the Nightmare. Yu Hai also summoned his bird, which cooperated with the insects.
A few black birds swooped down to peck at the Nightmare, then a few small golden bugs stabbed at it. The Nightmare ran away laughing, saying, "How did it end up coming down to me! He Qing, you hate bugs so much, yet you've summoned them all just to beat up your brother!"
"Who told you to wake her up so early in the morning!" Mu Heqing harbored deep resentment.
Yu Hai also harbored deep resentment. The Nightmare had exposed his whereabouts, and wave after wave of people made him extremely irritable.
Of course, the insects and blackbirds couldn't really kill the Nightmare, they just gave him a hard time. The Nightmare scratched the bumps that had been pecked out of his body and raised his hands in surrender.
Mu Heqing and Yu Hai felt relieved and were clearly in a better mood.
"Don't be angry, you two." Bao Yan was still cheerful as he reached out and patted Mu and Qing's heads.
"Hmph." Mu Heqing's snort indicated forgiveness. "I'm hungry! You guys don't need to eat, but I do!"
"Great! Let's take He Qing out to eat!" Bao Yan said excitedly.
Yu Hai shook his head and followed.

"Why use this color in this painting?" Mu Heqing stood in front of a painting, deep in thought.
Beside her was Sifei, holding a paintbrush. She and Mu Heqing were in the same pensive pose.
“I think this color is a bit too dark. I’ll add some brighter colors.” Sifei scribbled on the painting.
Mu and Qing nodded and said, "It does look much better this way."
Sifei and Muheqing nodded together, seemingly very satisfied with the painting.
The already chaotic scene in front of them became even more chaotic with the addition of this bright color. It was impossible to tell what the painting was about; it looked like something drawn by someone who had drunk several kilograms of fake liquor.
The two of them spent some time appreciating this meaningless painting.
Mu Heqing suddenly said, "Sifei, why don't you teach me to paint?"
Sifei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly agreed.
She brought over some pens and new drawing paper, and let Mu and Qing draw whatever they wanted on the paper.
Mu and Qing had never studied painting before, and they only clumsily drew a few lines on the paper. However, Si Fei kept encouraging them, and in the end, they managed to draw a picture that was not very clear. It could be said that they had learned a lot from Si Fei.
"He Qing, you're amazing! You've finished the drawing." Si Fei encouraged her like a kindergarten teacher.
Looking at the mess of paint, with some paint on her face, Mu Heqing was a little embarrassed: "This can't even be called a painting, do you think it can have any magical effects?"
This painting was done under Si Fei's guidance, and Mu and Qing were looking forward to seeing what special effects it might have.
Sifei hesitated for a moment, then called in Secretary Fen from outside the door and asked her to look at the painting.
Secretary Fen blinked, indicating that she couldn't see any special function in the painting; it was just a scribble.
Mu Heqing wasn't disappointed, but rather curious, and asked, "Sifei, why are your paintings so captivating?"
She had always been curious about the source of their abilities.
Sifei simply replied, "This is something I was born with. Qing, if you want it, I can lend you my ability. With Xiangyuan, you can use our abilities at will."
Mu and Qing simply hugged Sifei and nuzzled her head against her.
"I don't want it anymore, since you'll be by my side anyway."
Sifei lowered her eyes, her expression somewhat complicated. Mu and Qing's enthusiasm made her feel apprehensive.
She touched Mu Heqing's hair and smiled, "Of course I'll stay by Heqing's side."
Mu Heqing and Si Fei painted a few more pictures until night fell, at which point Si Fei took Mu Heqing home.
Sifei sat in the car, saying goodbye to Mu and Qing. Seeing the natural joy she exuded and the intimate farewell she received, she felt confused for the first time.
Why was Qing so resistant to them before? What made her different from them?
Clearly, they could be friends, and they could get along very well.
She recalled that when they were still in No. 13 Middle School, Mu and Qing's cold and gloomy faces seemed to be separated by a gray line.
Now that line is gone, they can embrace each other warmly and live in a happy world.
She will not let that line reappear.
…………
Mu and Qing had that dream again.
In my dream, strange plants that grew all over the world were covered with eyes.
All eyes are on her.
Just as she was troubled, the plant suddenly disappeared, and a heavy rain began to fall. The rain was so heavy that it blurred her vision, and she could not see her surroundings. She only heard a call.
"He Qing."
That person was calling her.
If it wasn't one of her classmates calling her, then who could it be?
A man whose face she couldn't see stood in front of her. She turned her head and gently kissed his cheek.
She smelled the fishy smell of rain, and the faint, warm fragrance emanating from the person.
Mu Heqing was covered in sweat and sat up straight in bed. She looked around blankly; it was still the familiar bedroom, and the familiar little bed.
She pulled out her phone, found Jiang Mu's contact information, and her fingers trembled slightly.
Strange, why would she kiss someone on her own initiative? And then forget about it afterward.
She remembered that the villains were playing pranks on her, and then a riot broke out. It was the principal who started it. In order to stop the riot, she went to find the principal. On her way to find the principal, she met Jiang Mu.
Once she started to recall, some details began to become clear. She remembered the torrential rain and the feel of Jiang Mu's face, but she couldn't remember why she had kissed him.
wrong.
Something's wrong.
