Chapter 48 Making Friends
"sorry!"
Mu Jiaojiao burst into tears, knelt in front of Shao Leyan, and kowtowed continuously.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't be jealous. I shouldn't be envious of you. If I could accept the reality, you wouldn't be so upset! It's all my fault! I'm sorry for you!"
"Do you know you're wrong?"
"I know, I know I was wrong! I won't do it again!"
Mu Jiaojiao was crying bitterly, and her forehead hit the blood-stained carpet hard, leaving a purple spot in the middle. She seemed to feel no pain and kept kowtowing and apologizing.
"Then I forgive you."
"You...I...hmm?"
The crying stopped instantly, and Mu Jiaojiao looked up with a silly look on her face, with undried tear marks still on her little face.
Shao Leyan, who seemed dead just now, was nestled in Fu Xingyan's arms, his bright and clear eyes looking straight at her, with the corners of his lips slightly curved.
Back from the dead!
Mu Jiaojiao's eyes widened, her moist little mouth trembling, she grabbed Mu Jinsheng beside her with one hand, as if to cheer her up, and mustered up the courage to speak.
"You...are you...a human or a ghost?"
"Don't you want to know why Fu Xingchen must have me?"
A hint of mockery and sadness flashed across Shao Leyan's eyes, "This is the reason."
Mu Jiaojiao lowered her head in disappointment. "Resurrection from the dead, is there really such a supernatural power in this world?"
Mu Jinsheng's face was solemn, and the way he hugged Mu Jiaojiao was extremely gentle, but his fingers tightly gripping the carpet revealed the surging emotions in his heart.
Shao Leyan gently pushed Fu Xingyan away. The latter did not force her, but stayed beside Shao Leyan obediently. When he saw her stand up, he stood up too.
Shao Leyan looked down at the Mu brothers and sisters who were too shocked to recover. After thinking for a moment, he squatted down and gently grabbed Mu Jiaojiao's arm.
Mu Jiaojiao got goosebumps all over her body. She wanted to shake them off but didn't dare. She was shaking with fear.
"What are you going to do?"
"Help you up," Shao Leyan winked at Mu Jinsheng, "give me a hand too!"
Mu Jinsheng pursed her lips and cooperated with Shao Leyan to help Mu Jiaojiao sit on the princess chair.
Shao Leyan: "I have no ill will towards you, and you don't have to be afraid of me. My ability has no offensive capabilities, so this is why Fu Xingchen married me."
Mu Jiaojiao turned her head away, somewhat averse to this topic.
"You don't have to hate me or even be jealous of me because of Fu Xingchen. A good girl like you deserves a better man."
Shao Leyan suddenly remembered Lu Chuchen's ridiculously high favorability towards Mu Jiaojiao and smiled slyly.
"Maybe it's right next to you, but you've been ignoring it."
Mu Jinsheng looked at Shao Leyan with some surprise.
The girl's messy hair added a touch of unpretentious beauty. There were some bloodstains on her fair face, like plum blossoms falling in the snow, giving people a refreshing coolness from the inside out.
"What are you implying?" Mu Jinsheng asked in confusion.
Obviously, Mu Jiaojiao hadn't reacted yet, and didn't even understand Shao Leyan's implied meaning, but Mu Jinsheng had already begun to follow the clues and test her intentions.
Shao Leyan shook his head and said, "This is just a consolation. You can also take it as a gesture of goodwill."
"Show your kindness?" Mu Jiaojiao asked in surprise, "Why are you showing your kindness to me?"
Mu Jiaojiao couldn't understand why Shao Leyan, who had the powerful ability to come back to life and was even the wife of a city lord, would show kindness to her, an ordinary person with no special abilities?
Could it be that he, like everyone else, values her status as the city lord's daughter?
Shao Leyan said very calmly: "Because you are a girl, or a girl who has no chance of harming me, this reason alone is enough."
Mu Jiaojiao stared at Shao Leyan, who was calm and composed, in disbelief. "You...what did you say?"
Shao Leyan shrugged and smiled brightly, "I want to be friends with you. Of all the people in Central City, I only want to be friends with you. Are you willing?"
Mu Jiaojiao couldn't believe her ears and stared at Shao Leyan blankly.
The soft golden sunlight penetrated the glass windows and poured into the room, falling on Shao Leyan as if she had been plated with a layer of gold. She looked as noble and dazzling as a goddess descending from the sky.
This was the first time someone had offered her their hands and said they wanted to be friends with her.
Her life seemed to have started from the moment she was born. The interpersonal relationships around her were extremely simple, and it was always the same few people around her.
She is the apple of the Mu family's eye and the only princess of Central City.
Even if she didn't have special powers, she should have been looked down upon and died early in the apocalypse.
But because she has a father and brother with powerful superpowers, and even a childhood sweetheart, the God of War, by her side, no one dares to make a move on her.
Everyone treats her well and teases her because of the power behind her, not just because she is Mu Jiaojiao.
Now, a woman who made her jealous and even had some evil thoughts told her.
She wanted to be friends with her.
It's not because of her family background or the powerful people around her, but simply because he likes her as a person.
Those things that once made her extremely ashamed were the reasons why Shao Leyan was willing to open his heart to her.
Because she has no ability to hurt her, nor does she have the intention to harm others.
Maybe it is not a pure friendship, but in the end of the world, it is definitely a precious and rare friendship.
Shao Leyan waited silently. Even though Fu Xingyan hinted to her many times that time was tight, she remained unmoved.
If there is no way to ease the relationship with the heroine this time, there may never be a better opportunity next time.
She endured the pain of suicide and absolutely could not do it in vain.
Finally, she heard Mu Jiaojiao's answer with her own ears.
"good."
"I want to be friends with you, too."
Mu Jiaojiao's eyes were crescent-shaped, her smile was brilliant, and she extended her right hand to Shao Leyan.
"Then from today on, we are good friends!"
The next day.
Shao Leyan glanced at Fu Xingchen who was socializing with Mu Sheng beside him, and winked calmly at Mu Jiaojiao who was sitting diagonally to her. He tilted his head slightly towards the door, indicating that she should follow him in a while.
She will be returning to the dungeon tomorrow, and she must take advantage of this last opportunity to consolidate her relationship with the heroine.
Mu Jiaojiao smiled back at her when she saw it.
The secret communication between the two people did not escape the men who had been keeping an eye on them.
"City Lord Fu, Madam Fu, you're leaving here tomorrow. I really don't want to leave you, but I also know there's still a lot of things in the dungeon that you need to deal with back home. Let's indulge ourselves tonight, and don't leave until we're drunk!"
Fu Xingchen had a cold face, completely different from Mu Sheng's reluctant expression.
"Lord Mu, you are too kind. Besides, so much has happened in these few days. Lord Mu has been too tired. You will have time to rest properly only after we return. You must be eager for us to set off tonight."
