◎What kind of person 1◎
"Ahhh!"
Mu Heqing was awakened by the pain. She covered her eyes, lay face down on the pillow, and was sweating profusely from the pain all over her body.
"He Qing!"
Mu and Qing were pulled into someone's arms. That person stroked her hair and comforted her repeatedly.
Once the pain subsided, Mu Heqing realized she was nestled in Jiang Mu's arms. She got up and remembered that Jiang Mu had been curious about her high school life the night before. After she finished telling him, they both fell asleep.
"Why are you sweating so much?" Jiang Mu asked anxiously.
"He probably had a nightmare."
She keeps having the same dream, but when she wakes up, she can never remember what the dream is about.
Jiang Mu pulled Mu Heqing back onto his chest, cupped her head in his palms, and murmured as he rubbed her face against his chest, "It must be them, Qingqing, my poor Mu Heqing."
"What?" Mu and Qing didn't hear clearly.
"What you told me yesterday about your high school years, how you survived alone in that environment, I find it hard to imagine," Jiang Mu said, still holding her.
Mu Heqing frowned. She was increasingly confused about what Jiang Mu was talking about. Wasn't her high school life just an ordinary high school?
She looked at Jiang Mu with concern and asked, "Did they contact you again?"
Mentioning her high school, one must recall how miserable she was by those guys.
"No." Jiang Mu shook his head. The moment he first saw the golden insect, he knew what was going on. Uncle Gua was afraid he would die too quickly, so he told him all the information he knew.
Of course, when faced with such a situation, Jiang Mu naturally chose to complain to Mu Heqing. He only wanted to make her slightly dissatisfied with those guys, but he didn't expect that he held such a high position in her heart.
After Mu and Qing issued warnings to each of them, those guys did indeed listen and stopped bothering him.
However, Jiang Mu knew that things were far from that simple.
Mu Heqing stroked Jiang Mu's face, closed her eyes, and leaned against him.
Unlike Jiang Mu, who felt good about himself, she felt that something was wrong with Jiang Mu. Perhaps those guys had driven him to the point of being abnormal.
The delicate atmosphere between the two was broken by a phone call.
Jiang Mu answered the phone and said, "Hello?"
He noticed something being said on the other end of the phone that caused his expression to change slightly.
"Qing, I'll take care of some work-related matters." Jiang Mu comforted Mu and Qing with a kiss.
Mu and Qing nodded, watching Jiang Mu walk out of the room.
A question arose in her mind: What exactly is Jiang Mu's job?
…………
On the balcony.
The caller was Uncle Gua, and his first words were a question.
"Jiang Mu, why did you block me?"
Jiang Mu replied coldly, "Didn't you call again?"
"I just changed my phone number, what exactly do you want?" Even though it was a questioning tone, Uncle Gua's emotions didn't fluctuate much, and his tone remained calm.
Jiang Mu found him annoying, of course. Uncle Gua would call from time to time, without issuing any mandatory tasks, just asking about his condition.
"I was afraid you'd forgotten who you are. Lin Han's worries were right. You fell for me way too quickly. I knew things were going to go wrong after you blocked my number."
"I know what I'm doing." Jiang Mu glanced at the room; Mu and Qing were still inside and hadn't come out.
"Jiang Mu, tell me the truth, don't you think things are great right now? You're all alone with Mu and Qing, and those guys don't dare to get close to you."
"What?"
"Those currently in Ancheng are all obedient. With Mu and Qing here, there will soon be even more disobedient ones. Be careful."
Jiang Mu hung up the phone.
Something even more disobedient?
Like those he saw that night?
Jiang Mu walked into the house and hugged Mu Heqing, who was drinking water, very tightly.
He is so happy now that he is about to become a selfish person.
…………
A few days later, Mu and Qing still went to see Fa Jiuyi.
Perhaps warned by Mu and Qing, this time he obediently sent her a message and didn't let everyone he saw on the street urge her to see him.
Fa Jiuyi's smooth, silver hair fell gently down his back. In front of him was a complete tea set, and he was leisurely brewing tea.
"I've been arguing a lot with my friends lately, all over a man?"
Mu and Qing were speechless; why did these words sound so strange?
“If they weren’t all trying to kill him, I think we would get along well.”
Cai hid behind Fa Jiuyi, now transformed back into a child. She puffed out her colorful face, clearly dissatisfied with Mu and Qing's behavior over the past few days.
"Cai, don't do this," Fa Jiuyi said calmly, trying to stop her.
Cai's height continued to increase, and the colors on her face blended together. Soon, she transformed into a mature woman.
She untied her braid and coiled it back around her head.
“He Qing, that man deliberately provoked us. Even if we don’t target him, he will pay the price for his actions.” Cai’s voice was soft. “If it weren’t for you, he should have died long ago. His approach to you must have ulterior motives. We are very worried.”
“That’s how men are. They use sweet words to please you, and then they will achieve their goals. They definitely want a lot of things, such as wealth and power,” Fa Jiuyi continued.
Mu Heqing twirled the cup in her hand, thinking that Jiang Mu must be quite rich, but no one complains about having too much money.
“He’s trying to drive a wedge between you and us, and between you and Qing. Didn’t you notice? We were having a great time.”
Cai and Fa Jiu echoed each other, saying a lot of bad things about Jiang Mu.
Mu Heqing remained silent. She believed she hadn't been bewitched by Jiang Mu; being with him simply made her feel comfortable, a comfortable feeling of being understood.
She didn't have to stop her classmates from fighting each other, nor did she have to witness all sorts of strange events. Her life shouldn't have been like this; it should have been much more peaceful.
Yes, that's the strangest thing. Why would she think that other humans are not her kind, but her strange classmates are?
How could she have kept ignoring this?
The back-and-forth between Fa Jiuyi and Cai did not lower Mu Heqing's impression of Jiang Mu; on the contrary, it made her begin to have doubts.
We will have a very happy time together.
This sentence suddenly popped into her mind, overlapping with Cai's sentence "We were originally very happy", and magnified infinitely in Mu and Qing's hearts.
happy?
Was she happy with them?
On the surface, yes, but Mu and Qing always felt that something was missing in their hearts.
Cai continued speaking: "It's because of him that you're unwilling to extend your lifespan and stay with us forever."
She blamed Jiang Mu for this.
Mu and Qing internally refuted this, saying, "No, this was her own will, her own decision."
She always wanted to live an ordinary life.
That's just the kind of person she is.
“Cai, were we happy when we were in high school?” Mu and Qing asked.
"Of course I'm happy! I liked you the first time I saw you," Cai said with a smile.
When Cai first met Mu and Qing, they were releasing poisonous smoke. The eerie poisonous smoke drifted in the air, and every creature caught in it collapsed to the ground.
Mu and Qing almost died there as well.
Sometimes she felt that her high school years were a giant survival game, and now she was the only one with a happy ending among countless game conclusions.
So Cai is lying.
She was unhappy at all during high school.
lie.
lie.
lie.
Mu Heqing raised his teacup, swallowed a mouthful of tea, and calmed himself down.
If she was happy, why did she always eat Xiangyuan's food during high school? If she was happy, why did she keep getting caught in strange whirlpools when she just wanted to live an ordinary life?
Mu Heqing was still wondering why Jiang Mu looked so distressed when she told him about her high school life.
So that's how it is.
These guys must have turned her "pain" into what they perceived as "pleasure".
No, she's not the same kind of person as them.
They completely misunderstand her!
Anger surged into her head, and Mu and Qing stood up abruptly, stopping Cai's incessant chatter.
"He Qing, are you unhappy?"
Fa Jiuyi's sickly face revealed no emotion.
Mu and Qing sat down again.
“Principal, there’s something I don’t understand. Why did you bring us all together in the same high school?” she asked, her curiosity piqued.
She wanted to know what kind of place No. 13 Middle School really was.
Fa Jiuyi picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tea stains from Mu and Qing's lips, saying, "Wouldn't it be better to strengthen a relationship by fighting for the same goal in a confined environment?"
"The same goal?" Mu Heqing asked back. She couldn't think of any common goal; it couldn't possibly be the college entrance examination, could it?
Fa Jiu smiled and said, "Yes, everyone's goal is to leave No. 13 Middle School."
"Were they also locked up in No. 13 Middle School by you?" Mu Heqing felt that he had vaguely grasped the truth.
“He Qing, it’s not that they were locked up, it was voluntary on their part,” Fa Jiuyi corrected Mu He Qing’s wording.
"Why?" Mu and Qing turned to look at Cai.
“Because He said that if we endure here for three years, we will find what we want,” Cai said.
Mu and Qing interpreted "He" as the principal.
“Leaving No. 13 Middle School means I’ve found what I’m looking for,” Fa Jiuyi added.
Mu and Qing left No. 13 Middle School by stopping the riot. How did they leave No. 13 Middle School?
You found what you were looking for, didn't you?
"Alright, we can forgive you for what happened with Qing and Jiang Mu, but you have to promise us one thing." Fa Jiuyi held up one finger.
“I disagree.” Mu Heqing refused outright. “If I agree, what price will I have to pay? I’m just a human being.”
A human lifespan should only be that long.
“He Qing, you are our friend, so naturally we won’t make you pay the price,” Cai said.
"Won't you make me pay the price?" Mu Heqing didn't believe it.
If she could extend her lifespan, even to the point of immortality, without paying a price, then becoming their friend would be a price in itself.
"Heqing, good child, you are a good child." The principal stroked her arm. "You will have everything in this world. You will know that Jiang Mu is nothing."
Mu Heqing coldly pushed away the principal's hand and walked out of the room, suddenly feeling a pang of heart palpitation.
"Oh dear, the disobedient kids are here. We've been keeping them locked up at No. 13 Middle School all along," the principal sighed in Mu Heqing's ear.
