"Hello--!"
Chu He yelled angrily towards the upstairs, but Chu Moyin had already closed the window, clapped his hands, and pressed the switch of the desk lamp as if nothing had happened.
"Chu Moyin, what do you want to do? Those are the snacks I bought for Ali!"
"Oh, oh, Brother Fan, forget it. It was a bit too much for my sister to throw away the snacks, but it was also our fault for not being considerate. After all, my sister is not my real family, and she never feels that anyone truly cares for her. So it's not her fault that she is a little fragile and jealous." Chu Shangli said in an understanding tone, like a spoiled child: "I'll treat you next time when we have the chance. I didn't have much of an appetite today, and the family snacks are really the best when they are freshly baked."
"Yeah, that's right. Then I'll treat you again when I have the chance - it's just that the lemon tart is a limited product, I don't know if it will be available next time I go." Wei Shengfan's expression eased a little, but the eyes that glanced at Chu Moyin seemed to contain some complicated thoughts.
Chu Shangli followed Wei Shengfan's gaze - or perhaps she also wanted to see Chu Moyin's expression, and her eyes fell on Chu Moyin.
The warm orange-yellow light from the desk lamp reflected on Chu Moyin's profile. Her drooping black hair covered half of her cheek, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.
For a moment, Chu Shangli felt that Chu Moyin's expression, hidden by his hair, seemed to be a happy smile that matched the warm light.
However, Chu Shangli knew that it must be an illusion.
Chu Moyin doesn't like to laugh at all.
Even if she smiled, it was basically a mocking smile, a contemptuous smile, or a routine standard smile - it was impossible to see where her true feelings lay.
In the previous life, he had seen Chu Moyin smile from the heart only twice -
One time was on her wedding day. She was wearing a wedding dress, holding a bunch of lilies, staring at the door infatuatedly, waiting for Wei Shengfan to arrive. Chu Moyin told her about Wei Shengfan's death and threw her the photo of Wei Shengfan being cut into pieces.
And the last fragment of the previous life, when he swung the knife and pierced Chu Moyin's heart——
Just these two times.
Chu Moyin, who doesn't like to laugh, doesn't think that what is happening at this moment is worthy of her smiling happily.
After Chu Moyin's interference, Wei Shengfan stayed for less than twenty minutes before leaving.
As night fell, Chu Shangli couldn't sleep and heard the sound of someone rummaging through something in the garden.
She pulled open the lavender curtains and looked out through the glass window.
Chu Moyin was searching among the flowers for the lemon tart she had thrown away earlier.
After finding it, he smelled it carefully and looked it up and down.
Ah, ah, if you think about it carefully, Chu Moyin is actually very pitiful.
She lost her parents at a young age and was placed in foster care. Although her entire family treated her with the utmost care, there were bound to be some inconsiderate things that might have caused her to feel unbalanced...
It started as a tiny seed, then exploded into a raging flame of hatred, burning her to ashes—
But no matter how dark her heart was, it was not a reason for her to hurt others. Although Chu Shangli was not completely unable to understand Chu Moyin's thoughts, he did not intend to fully understand them, let alone forgive her -
"If kindness means forgiving all harm, then what's wrong with being unkind? Repaying evil with kindness is not repaying kindness. Fighting violence with violence and evil with evil is not recommended, but it is definitely not a path to be chosen with fear. Kindness, kindness, and understanding towards the enemy will eventually turn into a sharp blade that hurts oneself - so use hatred to fight hatred."
The words of his enemies scolding him linger and echo in his ears.
"So, Chu Shangli, you are reborn?"
Chu Shangli was startled. She suddenly realized that the real voice just now did not come from the memories in her mind.
It came from behind her.
Chu Moyin was wearing black casual pants and a pure white top. The combination of colors was as natural and harmonious as the pure white moon in the dark night sky.
The moonlight outside the window shines on her, as if she is also a part of the moonlit night, and her eyes are like stars reflected in the sea, shining with bright light, yet retaining a deep and cold breath.
Chu Shangli even had a vague feeling that it wasn't his own reflection in those eyes, but rather his soul being sucked into those eyes——
Seeing Chu Shangli stunned, Chu Moyin asked the same question again.
"Chu Shangli, you must have been reborn, right? Did you return from the future to the present time for some reason?"
