Mu Liuyun frowned slightly, feeling the soft touch on his arm. He inwardly groaned, wanting to immediately shove Mu Xiaoxi, who was clinging tightly to his arm, away with a dark expression.
However, when he heard Mu Xiaoxi's tearful account of her grievances, his heart softened, and he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Brother, that guy named Lao Mo, he looks fierce and is really scary!"
As Mu Xiaoxi spoke, she tried to bury her head in Mu Liuyun's arms, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Mu Liuyun didn't know what to do, so she could only turn her head away as much as possible to keep her distance from Mu Xiaoxi's face.
At this moment, Sister Wang, who was standing to the side, saw Mu Xiaoxi's pitiful appearance and Mu Liuyun's helpless look. She sighed, walked over, gently touched Mu Xiaoxi's hair, and said softly, "Xiaoxi, why don't you sleep with me tonight? Don't be scared."
Sister Wang had always treated Mu Xiaoxi like a younger sister, and seeing her so frightened, she naturally couldn't bear it.
As for Mu Xiaoxi, her biggest goal was to share a bed with Mu Liuyun tonight. Whether she had to explain or not, she wanted to do what she should have done a long time ago.
Once you've done it, there's basically no need for explanation.
However, it seems that Mu Liuyun is keeping people at arm's length, making it difficult to achieve this goal. But if she were to settle for second best and choose to sleep with Sister Wang, that wouldn't be a bad idea.
After all, as the saying goes, those who are near the water get the moon first!
As long as she can stay close to Mu Liuyun, she will have a much greater advantage compared to Chu Yaqin and Shen Lanxin.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxi raised her head, looked at Sister Wang with her big, watery eyes, and nodded obediently, saying, "Okay~ Thank you, Sister Wang~"
"Creak..."
As the chilling grinding of teeth rang out, Chu Yaqin's gaze was fixed on Mu Xiaoxi.
Mu Xiaoxi was feigning fear, and her expression was so fake that it made Chu Yaqin so angry that her teeth itched.
What's there to be afraid of? You're the one who's scared out of his wits.
She was even a little scared when Mu Xiaoxi made her move before.
Now, taking advantage of their young age, they bark and howl here.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Chu Yaqin couldn't help but grit her teeth, but she quickly suppressed her anger and averted her malicious gaze. Instead, she pretended to be extremely surprised and looked out the window.
Then she exclaimed, "Oh dear! What's going on? It's already so dark!"
Her tone was full of surprise, as if she hadn't expected it at all.
At this moment, Sister Wang, who was standing nearby, quickly responded, "Hey, in this area, it's always been early for sunrise and early for sunset. You might not be used to it yet."
Hearing Sister Wang's explanation, Chu Yaqin's worry deepened. She blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Sister Wang with a wronged expression: "It's so dark. I'm a little scared to walk alone at night!"
Seeing this, Sister Wang laughed heartily and comforted her, "It's simple, you can just stay at my house too."
"Thank you, Sister Wang."
Chu Yaqin didn't stand on ceremony and immediately imitated Mu Xiaoxi, giving her a sweet smile and a provocative look.
'If you cross the river, I'll cross the river too!'
"..."
Mu Xiaoxi gritted her teeth. Although she was extremely unwilling, she knew very well that she could not stop Chu Yaqin now, given the situation before her.
After all, Chu Yaqin was undoubtedly the hero of today. If it weren't for her, everyone would probably still be in the dark and completely unaware of the danger Mu Liuyun was facing.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxi sighed helplessly and could only nod reluctantly to indicate her agreement.
Just then, Shen Lanxin, who was almost at the gate of the courtyard, suddenly stopped and turned around, only to find that there was no one behind her, and she was left standing alone at the gate.
"you!"
Shen Lanxin's eyes widened, and she shouted with astonishment and dissatisfaction.
However, she was met with Chu Yaqin's smug, infuriating smile.
Chu Yaqin waved to Shen Lanxin with a smile: "President Shen, please be careful on your journey. Remember to send me a message to let me know you're safe when you get home."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lanxin felt an inexplicable anger surge up in her heart, and the veins on her forehead uncontrollably bulged into a clearly visible "well" shape.
At this moment, she finally saw these two people clearly. Whether it was Mu Xiaoxi or Chu Yaqin, they were "good sisters" who could neither share happiness nor hardship.
"I'm scared too!"
"Huh? You're scared too?"
Sister Wang stared wide-eyed at Shen Lanxin's icy face with a look of astonishment, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
I never imagined that a woman with such an icy expression would be afraid to walk alone at night.
Although Sister Wang didn't say it outright, Shen Lanxin understood what she meant and could only nod with a blush.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have plenty of beds at home, Xiaoyun, right?"
As Sister Wang spoke, she turned to look at Xiao Yun beside her. However, all she received in response was silence.
"Xiaoyun? Hmm? Where is she?"
Mu Liuyun had already disappeared without a trace.
It turned out that while the women were chatting happily, Mu Liuyun, having broken free from Mu Xiaoxi's grasp, quietly left the courtyard and quickly slipped back to her room like a rocket.
He had no interest in chatting with these women, nor did he want to get involved in those complicated and troublesome trifles.
Not only that, the cautious Mu Liuyun locked the door behind her as soon as she returned to her room, adding an extra layer of security in case something happened during the night that was suitable for people of all ages.
Seeing this, the three women, who each had their own ulterior motives, looked at each other with bitter smiles, sighed helplessly at the closed iron gate, and then obediently turned around and walked towards their respective bedrooms to prepare for bed and rest.
Inside the room, Mu Liuyun lay quietly on the bed, listening to the sounds outside.
As time passed, the sounds outside gradually faded until they disappeared completely, and the surroundings finally returned to tranquility.
At this moment, Mu Liuyun, who was sitting in front of her laptop, closed her eyes and rested.
He was outwitting Lin Yaodong during the day, and then he had to edit videos when he got home at night. It really felt unreal to him.
However, thinking about what Chu Yaqin had to say to him tomorrow, he shook his head, stopped thinking about these miscellaneous things, and closed his eyes after posting the video.
