Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu handed Mu Qingcheng, whom she was holding, directly to Xiu, her expression indifferent, "Let's do it."
"..."
Xiu Du was slightly taken aback when he didn't expect Lin Qiu to do such a thing, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "You really are ruthless."
"You flatter me."
Lin Qiu gently withdrew his hand, pulled Mu Qingcheng back into his arms, and looked down at her.
"..."
Mu Qingcheng was only slightly dazed from the cold. She regained some consciousness the moment she collapsed. When she fell into Lin Qiu's arms, she subconsciously continued to pretend to be unconscious.
Of course, Mu Qingcheng heard all of Xiu's conversation clearly. When she felt Lin Qiu push her away like an object, Mu Qingcheng was overwhelmed with a huge sense of disappointment.
She had never known what it felt like to be completely heartbroken over someone, but at this moment, she understood.
There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart.
Xiu turned and left because he knew Lin Qiu's personality; he wouldn't get Mo Shisheng's whereabouts from him. Since the outside was completely crimson, it meant that all beasts had come out of their dens, and Mo Shisheng was no longer in danger.
After Xiu turned and left the restaurant, Lin Qiu carried Mu Qingcheng upstairs. The restaurant was dilapidated, like a ruin, but the staircase side was not damaged much.
The second floor is fine too.
He carried Mu Qingcheng all the way back to the room. When Lin Qiu's slender hand landed on Mu Qingcheng's collar, Mu Qingcheng suddenly turned to the side.
Lin Qiu's hand missed its target. With a calm expression, she gently withdrew her hand. "Now that you're awake, go take a hot bath and change your clothes."
"Get out of here!"
Mu Qingcheng slowly turned around, sat up from the bed, pointed at the door with one hand, and roared, "Get out!"
"You're afraid of the cold, put on another layer of clothing." Lin Qiu seemed not to hear Mu Qingcheng's roar and continued to instruct her, "I'll go prepare some hot water for you."
"Get out of here, Linqiu!"
Mu Qingcheng suddenly burst out laughing, "Didn't you just push me out? Didn't you say it was none of your business whether I lived or died? Who are you trying to fool with this act of concern for me? Aren't you tired of pretending?"
"I remember you left your cloak in the next room. What color are you going to wear?" Lin Qiu raised her eyes, her dark eyes cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, as if she were lifeless.
"..."
The words Mu Qingcheng wanted to say stuck in her throat at that moment, and she couldn't make a sound no matter what she said.
She was yelling and shouting angrily, but Lin Qiu seemed completely unconcerned, as if nothing had happened. So what was her purpose in doing this?
Mu Qingcheng took a deep breath, slowly lay down, pulled the blanket over her cold body, and shivered slightly. "I don't want to see you. Get out."
Lin Qiu remained silent, her gaze gently falling on Mu Qingcheng's face. She reached out to pull the blanket over Mu Qingcheng, but was stopped in her tracks by Mu Qingcheng's look of disgust.
"Linqiu, if you have any conscience left, tell me, where is the wine?"
"..."
Lin Qiu calmly withdrew her hand. "You should get some rest."
"..."
Oh.
His obvious refusal to answer the question and his avoidance of the topic of Mo Shisheng weighed heavily on Mu Qingcheng's heart.
I felt so suffocated I could hardly breathe.
As Lin Qiu turned to leave through the door, Mu Qingcheng spoke softly, "A Qiu, you know me, you know how much I long for a friend..."
