Feng Xin scratched her head, looking very troubled, and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think Li Mu really won't come back?"
Rong Qingqing had calmed down by now. After listening to this, she considered it for a moment and asked, "You seem very worried about Li Mu. What are your thoughts on Li Mu?"
Originally, she felt that Li Mu was unforgivable after such an incident, but judging from Feng Xin's reaction, she didn't seem to blame Li Mu. Moreover, judging from what she said earlier, it was she who had made indecent advances on him first.
Thinking about this, she became more and more confused.
So, is she sad because Li Mu bullied her, or because Li Mu left without saying goodbye?
Upon hearing this, Feng Xin paused, somewhat bewildered. "I'm not nervous. What's your opinion?"
Rong Qingqing asked, "In your heart, what kind of person is Li Mu?"
Feng Xin thought for a moment, and after a long while, she frowned and said, "He is a guard that my brother gave me. He has been by my side for many years. In the past, no matter where I went, he would follow me, just like... my shadow."
"Shadow?" Rong Qingqing raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, it’s a shadow.” This time, Feng Xin was even more certain.
"Is it just a shadow?" Rong Qingqing looked at her scrutinizingly. "Is it because you've gotten used to his presence, or because... you've already fallen in love with him?"
Upon hearing the word "love," Feng Xin was startled. "Love?" Realizing what she had said, she quickly denied it, "How could that be? I don't like Li Mu at all..."
"Then why did you take liberties with him?"
"That's because...that's because I was drunk," Feng Xin said matter-of-factly.
"Oh, then why don't you kiss Xiao Dezi?" Rong Qingqing raised her eyebrows.
Feng Xin looked startled. "Xiao Dezi is a eunuch, of course I couldn't possibly..."
“Because Xiao Dezi is a eunuch, the fact that you didn’t kiss him shows that even though you were drunk, you could still recognize who was who,” Rong Qingqing pointed out sharply.
Feng Xin opened her lips, wanting to refute, but found she couldn't. After a long while, she stammered, "At the time, I wasn't actually so drunk that I was unconscious, so of course I recognized people..."
“If you only kiss Li Mu when you know people, it means you only have feelings for him,” Rong Qingqing said.
Feng Xin blushed slightly as she thought about what happened last night, and firmly denied it, saying, "It's not that I have any feelings for him. It's just that yesterday was a holiday, and I drank a little. I thought of my mother and brother, and I felt a little lonely. Just then, Li Mu came up to help me, and I couldn't help myself, so I just..."
Although her memories of the night before she fell asleep were somewhat hazy, she still remembered that it was indeed she who kissed Li Mu first.
At first, Li Mu probably didn't expect her to kiss him suddenly, and he froze there until she coaxed and pleaded with him, at which point he finally responded.
She doesn't remember or have any recollection of what happened after that.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing already understood somewhat.
It seems that Feng Xin did take the initiative first. However, she felt that Li Mu probably already had feelings for Feng Xin, but they dared not overstep the bounds because of their respective statuses. This time, Feng Xin was drunk and took the initiative to flirt with him. In a moment of impulse, he did something irreversible. After sobering up, he realized that he had offended Feng Xin, so he left without saying goodbye.
However, she looked down on Li Mu's act of leaving without a word.
She felt that Li Mu dared to do things but not to take responsibility; he not only lacked the courage to take on responsibilities but was also a person without a sense of duty.
