"You don't want to listen? How could you not want to listen?"
Liu Leyao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her voice almost shrill with excitement. Her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. Could it be that Mu Liuyun had truly never been interested in her all along?
Just then, Mu Liuyun completely ignored Liu Leyao's reaction. His gaze passed over the person in front of him and looked at Wang Shirong standing not far away behind Liu Leyao. A bright smile instantly bloomed on his face, and he shouted enthusiastically, "Brother Rong, have you eaten yet?"
When facing Wang Shirong, Mu Liuyun's voice was like a gentle breeze in spring, softly brushing past her ear.
Although he had treated Liu Leyao the same way before, Liu Leyao hadn't heard Mu Liuyun speak to her like that for a very long time.
Hearing the call, Wang Shirong paused slightly, his expression tense. He first glanced cautiously at Liu Leyao beside him, then turned his gaze to Mu Liuyun, forcing a smile as he replied, "I've already eaten, Xiaoyun, don't worry about me."
However, despite his efforts to appear nonchalant, his words betrayed a hint of restraint and embarrassment.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shirong keenly noticed a subtle change in Liu Leyao's expression.
Her already gloomy face was now even more clouded, and her eyes flashed with anger. She was clearly extremely dissatisfied with Mu Liuyun's cold attitude towards her and her enthusiastic attitude towards Wang Shirong.
In fact, Liu Leyao knew very well that Mu Liuyun could easily discern the intimacy in her tone when speaking to Wang Shirong, while her attitude towards her could only be described as cold.
This stark contrast stirred a bittersweet feeling within her, as if she had lost her important place in Mu Liuyun's heart.
At this moment, Liu Leyao was filled with worries and entanglements.
She's still racking her brains trying to figure out how to repair her relationship with Mu Liuyun and rekindle their former intimacy; but you, Wang Shirong, are already starting to build a future with Mu Liuyun?
What angered Liu Leyao even more was that since she woke up in the hospital, she hadn't eaten a single meal or even had a sip of water before following Wang Shirong into the village.
But you, Wang Shirong, have already eaten your fill!
Wang Shirong blushed slightly under Liu Leyao's gaze. Honestly, he didn't mean to not bring Liu Leyao food. Who knew when Liu Leyao would wake up from her hospital bed?
"Hmph, I'll deal with you later!"
Liu Leyao glared fiercely at Wang Shirong, her eyes seeming to spit fire.
Then, she quickly looked away and focused her gaze back on Mu Liuyun.
She pouted slightly and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Little... Mu Liuyun, I haven't eaten yet."
"..."
Who asked you?
However, because such a reply was impolite, Mu Liuyun did not respond immediately after hearing this, but remained silent.
After a while, perhaps feeling that ignoring the other person would be even more impolite, he slowly spoke.
"That's incredible! Mr. Liu, you should hurry and head out of the village from here. There's a No. 2 bus that can take you directly to the city. If you're fast enough, you might even make it to the restaurant before it closes for a hot meal."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Leyao was taken aback and stared at Mu Liuyun in astonishment.
At this moment, she finally clearly felt Mu Liuyun's rather impolite attitude towards her.
What annoyed her even more was that Mu Liuyun's attitude towards her seemed even worse than that towards Wang Shirong, who was standing next to her.
Is Mu Liuyun also a tsundere?
But then she thought about it again and comforted herself.
Perhaps it was because the food prepared in the house was really not very good. Wang Shirong, a rough man, could just eat whatever he wanted, but it would seem too shabby and low-class for him to eat.
Oh dear, Mu Liuyun, you're overthinking it! This young lady isn't some delicate, timid girl!
Thinking of this, Liu Leyao's mood immediately improved.
"Mu Liuyun, what would you like to eat? Let's go eat together!"
Liu Leyao thought to herself, Mu Liuyun actually mentioned bus number 2 to her, maybe there's a delicious restaurant hidden nearby.
Judging from his expression, he definitely wants to share it with me.
Oh my, so cute!
However, when Liu Leyao looked at Mu Liuyun with anticipation, she found that his brows were furrowed even more tightly.
Because of Liu Leyao's words, Mu Liuyun fell into self-doubt.
What's going on? Did I not express myself clearly enough? Or do I look like I'm starving and can't wait to eat?
Thinking about this, Mu Liuyun was somewhat confused, perhaps this was Liu Leyao's thought process.
If Chu Yaqin were here, she would definitely laugh at Liu Leyao for playing too much Happy Beans.
Confused, Mu Liuyun shook her head and said calmly, "Big Star Liu, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Leyao interrupted him.
Liu Leyao seemed to be complaining a little, and said, "Don't call me that anymore, it sounds weird. Just call me Leyao, I prefer that name."
Actually, this wasn't the first time Mu Liuyun had called her "Big Star Liu." But every time she heard this title, Liu Leyao felt a strange unease, as if Mu Liuyun was being sarcastic or mocking.
But Liu Leyao firmly believed that Mu Liuyun liked her very much, so she wouldn't be sarcastic or mean to her.
So, in order to stop Mu Liuyun from addressing her that way, Liu Leyao imitated a scene she had learned from a novel Wang Shirong had read, extending her slender fingers and trying to gently press them against Mu Liuyun's lips to stop him from continuing.
As expected, this trick worked, and Mu Liuyun immediately shut her mouth.
Unexpectedly, although Mu Liuyun stopped speaking, he quickly turned his head away, clearly avoiding Liu Leyao's outstretched fingers, and showed an extremely disgusted expression on his face, as if Liu Leyao's fingers were something dirty.
Upon seeing this, Liu Leyao was struck dumb, frozen in place.
However, Liu Leyao was not the kind of person who would be easily defeated by setbacks. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, and kept reminding herself to stay calm and not to lose her composure over such a small matter.
Mu Liuyun must feel that she is too dirty to have any contact with her because of what she did.
It must be!
