"You've been by my side since I was little."
"Everyone I met for the first time thought I was a girl, and you were the first to help me explain."
"However, regardless of the location or the nickname, the name is always Lin Jianglu."
"Brother Xiaoyu, it's been almost twenty years. Do you still ever think of me as Mu Liuyun?"
Mu Liuyun looked at Shi Hengyu, her eyes filled with sadness.
"Forehead."
Shi Hengyu's smile faded, and he slowly lowered his head, not daring to look Mu Liuyun in the eye: "I'm sorry."
As if she had already guessed Shi Hengyu's answer, Mu Liuyun lay back down on the bed and looked out the window.
Shi Hengyu silently got up and walked out of the ward without saying a word. Even though the three women outside the door were looking at him with strange eyes, he didn't say a word and left the hospital.
Mu Liuyun, who was lying in bed, did not see Shi Hengyu walk out of the hospital.
He simply covered his forehead with one hand to shield himself from the sunlight.
Mu Liuyun, an orphan for two lifetimes, suddenly felt the taste of loneliness at this moment.
For him, Shi Hengyu was no longer just a friend; he had become family.
But that's only true for him.
In Shi Hengyu's eyes, he wasn't even Mu Liuyun, let alone family.
"Is this considered betrayal?"
Mu Liuyun didn't know what to call Shi Hengyu's behavior. She couldn't even hate Shi Hengyu, let alone seek revenge.
Because compared to these emotions, what Mu Liuyun felt most was disappointment.
Shi Hengyu had no responsibility to fulfill his needs for family and friendship. If one had to nitpick, it was Mu Liuyun who overstepped her bounds.
But Mu Liuyun couldn't forgive Shi Hengyu so easily, and perhaps going their separate ways was the best choice.
"Farewell, Brother Xiaoyu."
Mu Liuyun didn't want to lie there any longer, so he reached out to pull the needle out of the back of his hand.
"Xiaoyun, what are you doing!"
The next second, Chu Yaqin suddenly rushed into the room, grabbed Mu Liuyun's hand, and stopped him.
"I'm fine, there's no need for me to get this glucose injection."
He was only unconscious for one night, which is equivalent to taking a nap, so he really didn't need glucose.
Where are the two of them?
"They went to buy food."
Chu Yaqin felt a little guilty. How could someone staying in a VIP ward need to buy their own meals? It was just an excuse for her to send those two people out.
Yesterday, I could have held Mu Liuyun all night, but the little boy ran away on his own, which prevented Chu Yaqin from having enough fun.
Even though Mu Liuyun wasn't feeling well, she still tried to find a way to be alone for a while.
"Xiaoyun, why did you leave alone yesterday? Do you know how dangerous that was?"
"President Chu, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"President Chu?"
Hearing Mu Liuyun's respectful tone, Chu Yaqin wanted to ask Mu Liuyun to change her form of address back to what she had done last time.
However, Mu Liuyun's expression was very serious and earnest, which made Chu Yaqin unable to open her mouth and instead made her a little scared: "Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you?"
"President Chu, I don't want to be anyone's toy, I just want to be myself."
"Toy?"
Upon hearing this unusual title, Chu Yaqin suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday morning.
Did I really say something like that?
"What's wrong with toys? You're my only toy!"
Mu Liuyun shook her head: "A toy is just an object, just something you own, just something you possess. I don't want something like that."
For some reason, Mu Liuyun remembered something a dead-eyed high school student in Japan had said in her previous life.
"What I want is the real thing."
His friends are fake, his sister is fake, his boss is fake, and he himself is just a stand-in.
Thinking about it, it's really a bit despairing.
Mu Liuyun's words left Chu Yaqin in a daze.
Zhenwu? Zhenwu the Great?
Xiaoyun wants to become a Taoist priest?
Can Taoist priests get married and have children...?
No, that's not the point. Xiaoyun doesn't like being treated like a toy, but I didn't treat him like a toy either.
At most, it's just an outlet for venting.
Hmm, this seems to make things worse.
Chu Yaqin, her thoughts wandering, didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only quickly try to cover it up: "That's not what I meant, Xiaoyun, I..."
"Go out first, let me rest for a while."
Mu Liuyun didn't want to talk anymore. He felt his head spinning again and turned to his side on the bed.
Chu Yaqin suddenly realized that her actions all along were no different from those perverted old men.
Perhaps it was her actions that hurt Mu Liuyun.
"I can't help it, you're just too adorable!"
Chu Yaqin, who had blurted out those words without thinking, quickly covered her mouth and cursed herself inwardly.
Isn't this just making things more confusing?
Suddenly realizing that she was a complete psychopath, Chu Yaqin walked out of the ward dejectedly and sat on a bench in the corridor, looking like a head of a family who had just gone through a midlife crisis.
Mu Xiaoxi, carrying a lunchbox, saw this scene as she walked to the door of the ward. She immediately rushed over excitedly: "Big Cow, what's wrong? Did your brother hate you?"
Prior to this, Mu Xiaoxi only knew that Mu Liuyun had stayed at the Chu family's house for one night. She only learned from Shen Lanxin what Chu Yaqin had done to Mu Liuyun.
This made her envious.
I'm furious!
So when Mu Xiaoxi saw Chu Yaqin, who was supposed to be taking care of Mu Liuyun, standing at the door of the ward, she was overjoyed.
"It's only a matter of time."
Shen Lanxin, who firmly believed that Mu Liuyun liked her, smiled and shook her head, looking every bit the victor.
"I'll go in and check on my brother."
As she spoke, Mu Xiaoxi pushed open the door and entered, leaving only Chu Yaqin sitting on the bench in a daze, and Shen Lanxin standing there like a general who had won a battle.
"Brother, dinner's ready."
"Don't call me brother anymore."
Mu Liuyun's indifferent tone made Mu Xiaoxi pause in opening the lunchbox: "Brother, what's wrong? Don't you like it? Xiaoxi bought all your favorite foods."
Mu Liuyun looked at the food in the lunchbox: "These aren't my favorite dishes, they're all yours. I only did this so that you could eat more of your favorite dishes."
Mu Liuyun didn't continue, but Mu Xiaoxi understood what he meant.
Just like before, after Mu Liuyun spent a lot of time cooking instant noodles for Mu Xiaoxi, she ended up eating regular instant noodles herself.
"Brother, I, I..."
Mu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment. Of course she knew what Mu Liuyun liked, since she usually collected Mu Liuyun's personal items.
But can I say that? No, I can't!
