Incense
"I'm not interested in children." Liu Muzhe said in a dull tone.
"I have been a human for ten lifetimes, and the total time span is no less than yours." The woman laughed.
Liu Muze sneered. He thought that even calculating age could include a time span. It was absurd compared to what Ye Jingan had.
He didn't want to bother with the woman anymore and focused his attention on the bottle. The knot was tied in a special way and was difficult to untie. Liu Muze was too lazy to untie the knot, so he grabbed it, pulled hard, and turned away.
"You or the bottle have to stay, right?" the woman stopped him. "Or you can leave both."
"I want to leave, can you stop me?" Liu Muzhe sneered.
"You're nothing like those stinky Taoist priests who attack people without knowing the truth. I actually like you. Are you really unwilling to help me?"
"This child has nothing to do with you, why did you harm her?"
"I've already killed all the people who deserved to die. I didn't mean to harm her, I just wanted to take some of her blood."
"Why bother?" Liu Muzhe wrapped his hair with a talisman and burned it, then poured the blood onto the ground and tossed the bottle to her. "Leave the bottle here, take care of yourself."
The woman's face was slightly angry and she pulled his sleeve.
"Let go." Liu Muzhe said coldly.
She took Liu Muze's arm, slid down one shoulder strap of her skirt to reveal half of her shoulder, and stared at him playfully: "If I don't loosen it, what can you do?"
"Please respect yourself." Liu Muzhe turned his head and pulled his hand away.
"Won't you look at me?" the woman asked.
"Your charm has no effect on me, and I'm also prepared for the aphrodisiac fragrance, so save yourself the effort." Liu Muzhe said.
The woman snorted, let go of him and said, "You're really determined to like that damn man. Let's go. I advise you to stay out of my business!"
Liu Muze patted his sleeves and left quickly. As soon as he left the reserve, he took out his cell phone to call Ye Jingan, but his cell phone rang first. It was Qiu Zimu calling. Liu Muze was a little surprised and answered the call and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Liu! Where have you been again? You didn't even answer my messages or phone calls!"
"Ye Jing'an?" Liu Muze switched the screen to check. Over sixty WeChat messages and five missed calls appeared. He fluttered his eyelids and said, "I'm in the mountains, no signal..."
Ye Jingan called him and hung up.
Liu Muzhe sighed. This ancestor without dignity would be scolded by his own little bastards when he returned.
Back at the hospital, Ye Jing'an was sitting on a chair in the corridor, staring at the stairs. His resentful eyes made Liu Muze pause. He pretended to be calm and walked over, smiling and said, "Have you had enough sleep? Have you eaten yet?"
"When will you change this bad habit of yours? Is it so hard to just type and tell me where you've been?" Ye Jing'an grew increasingly angry. "You don't have any friends. If something really happens, where would I find you? You're leaving me hanging, worrying about nothing, and you're actually quite happy about it, aren't you?"
"No, I only found out there was no internet when I got in. There's nothing I can do. Don't be angry, I'll tell you in advance next time." Liu Muzhe patted his shoulder, "I'll treat you to dinner."
Ye Jing'an frowned. When Brother Liu extended his hand, there was a strong fragrance, completely different from the faint sweet-scented osmanthus and pinewood scent from before. It was like the expensive perfume a woman sprayed on herself. He didn't like this smell very much; it was too strong and a bit pungent.
Leaning in closer, he smelled the scent, which was indeed that of Brother Liu's clothes. Ye Jing'an was immediately furious. He figured this Liu was having a good time with a woman; no wonder he didn't answer the phone. He was still worried about something happening, which was completely unnecessary!
"You went to the mountains this morning?" Ye Jing'an said coldly, "I didn't realize Brother Liu was quite interesting. He appears to be aloof and abstinent, but it turns out he likes to do big things secretly."
Liu Muzhe was stunned and didn't understand what this meant.
"Smell it yourself!" Ye Jing'an grabbed his hand and moved closer.
Liu Muzhe frowned. He had just returned in a hurry and hadn't noticed that the fragrance on his hands had not dissipated.
"Brother Liu, are you having fun? Which one do you like?" Ye Jing'an snorted coldly and walked downstairs. "I'm such a jerk. I was worried that something might happen to you!"
Ye Jing'an didn't know what to worry about. This Liu guy was quite good at fighting, and most of the time he was the one who got others into trouble. But once he lost contact with him, Ye Jing'an would think of the scene where he had fainted in the hotel with a belly full of blood, and he couldn't help but feel panic and uncontrollable anxiety.
In the end, this Liu guy didn't take me seriously at all. He just wouldn't listen even after I told him many times! But I could understand that. He didn't need to tell anyone about his secret meeting with a woman.
Ye Jingan felt a pang of pain in his heart. He was a minority after all, and he didn't expect Brother Liu to like him and be with him forever. If Brother Liu really met someone he liked, he would let her go and sincerely wish them well. But playing with women was too casual. No way!
"Ye Jing'an, I didn't..." Liu Muzhe chased after him, feeling both amused and helpless. This was a huge misunderstanding.
Ye Jingan turned around and said coldly: "You think I'm annoying too, right? I won't care about you anymore!"
"How could I find you annoying?" Liu Muzhe explained in a gentle voice, "Someone wants to harm this girl. It's a woman who uses seduction magic. The fragrance comes from her casting the spell. You can't smell it over here."
Ye Jing'an looked at his raised right hand, picked it up suspiciously and smelled it, but there was really no strong fragrance.
But he was still furious. He was annoyed by the thought of Brother Liu being with a woman. This Liu guy had a face that women liked, but who knows what that woman did or said. Putting aside other things, she definitely touched his hand! Otherwise, how could the fragrance have lingered on him for hours? Looking at Liu Muze's innocent look, Ye Jingan didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long silence, Liu Muze laughed and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Thank you for last night."
Ye Jingan was startled and asked weakly, "What are you thanking me for?"
Liu Muze said: "I was under the influence of the incense and didn't know anything. Thank you for protecting me."
Ye Jingan clenched his fists. That woman really had some plans for Brother Liu. Fortunately, he came to watch over her last night, otherwise, who knows where she would have taken Brother Liu. No wonder Brother Liu didn't react no matter how he hugged her yesterday.
Ye Jingan suddenly felt better. Thanks to the incense, he was able to hold Brother Liu to sleep. Otherwise, how could this guy surnamed Liu let anyone hold him all night? Ye Jingan said, "Forget it this time. From now on, wherever you go, take me with you."
"Okay." Liu Muze smiled, "Let's eat. I'm hungry."
Liu Muze finished two large bowls of rice before he put down his chopsticks. Ye Jingan knew that he hadn't eaten lunch again, and he was a little unhappy. This person always didn't take his health seriously. Liu Muze was in a good mood today, and he responded to everything Ye Jingan said in a gentle tone, so he had no place to vent his anger.
"You make me so angry, but you are in a good mood. What did that woman do to make you happy?" Ye Jing'an tapped the table with his fingers and glared at him with his eyes squinted.
"Not really, I just didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who was angry because I didn't reply in time." Liu Muzhe said with a smile.
Ye Jingan felt a pang in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know how you lived before, but now you have friends and people who care about you. Don't always do things that make people worry!"
"Okay." Liu Muzhe smiled even more.
Back in the ward, Qiu Zimu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Muze coming back: "Brother Liu, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, Ye Jing'an would have jumped out of the window."
Liu Muzhe smiled awkwardly and handed a talisman to Xi Yaxuan.
Her complexion had returned to normal and she looked well. She was sitting on the hospital bed, concentrating on her math test, so engrossed in her work that she didn't even notice them coming back.
"Thank you." Xi Yaxuan glanced at Fu and continued writing the paper.
She'd been working on this paper in class last night, but she'd only been halfway through when something went wrong. There was a long pen mark on the paper, left when she got scared. Not wanting to delay her studies, she asked Qiu Zimu to go to school and get it for her.
There was a large brown schoolbag next to the bed. It looked very old, and the fabric at the bottom was worn, revealing a corner of the book.
Liu Muzhe felt that the child had a good heart. She didn't ask too many questions about what happened. He was a good child who was easy to take care of. It was a pity that he was implicated in this incident.
After she finished the test paper, Liu Muzhe asked some questions about her father. The answers he got were somewhat different from his guess. There must be something he didn't understand.
Xi Yaxuan didn't know the true story, nor did she question the cause of her father's death. However, she didn't want to know the little monster that had chased her yesterday, nor did she have any interest in past school events. She just wanted to study hard, get into a good university, and earn money so her mother could live a good life without having to work part-time.
She didn't rest, but switched to a Chinese exercise book and continued writing. As she wrote, the words in front of her eyes gradually became blurry, and she blinked to read the questions clearly. She wiped the two tears from the page with her sleeve to avoid wrinkling the paper.
Liu Muze handed her the tissue and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
Xi Yaxuan shook her head, wiped away her tears, and continued writing and reading as if nothing had happened.
Liu Muze knew that Qiu Zimu had spent the most time with her during this period and should be more coaxing, so she silently cast a look for help. Qiu Zimu blinked and tilted her head to look at Ye Jingan.
Ye Jingan: "..."
I give up, these two are useless!
He was just thinking about what to say to comfort her when Wu Yuling walked into the ward with a bunch of sunflowers. Seeing Xi Yaxuan crying silently and the three grown men looking at a loss, Wu Yuling laughed dumbly, breaking the awkward atmosphere and said, "We just finished our school work. Have you eaten yet?"
When the three saw their savior coming, they smiled and started talking to him.
Wu Yuling sat next to Xi Yaxuan, handed her the sunflower and said, "I heard from Teacher Yang that you like flowers very much, so I bought you two sunflowers."
Xi Yaxuan stared blankly at the sunflower. She loved sunflowers the most. Every year on her birthday, her mother would buy her a sunflower. But this year, she couldn't come home because of work, so she didn't even celebrate her birthday.
"Thank you, Principal." Xi Yaxuan couldn't hold it in any longer and sobbed, covering her face.
Wu Yuling hugged her and comforted her softly.
The three of them walked out of the room in perfect tacit understanding.
