"If you don't come to see me, can't I come to see you?" Miss Zhao Si said with a pout. It was this charming look that made Mu Cheng completely captivated.
"I'm sorry, I actually wanted to come see you, but I was worried..." Mu Cheng was filled with guilt, but he didn't know how to explain it. Every time he saw Miss Zhao Si, his heart would beat faster, and he wanted to be with her, but when they were together, he was so nervous that he was at a loss, even a little ashamed of himself. So unless it was something very important, or Miss Zhao Si took the initiative to ask him out, he didn't dare to see her casually.
"No need to explain, I understand. By the way, it must have been very dangerous along the way. Are you hurt?" Miss Zhao Si comforted with tenderness on her face, and asked with concern.
"No, I'm not hurt." Feeling the concern in her words, Mu Cheng felt guilty and touched, and even stuttered when he spoke.
"It's cold at night. Why don't you go over and sit for a while?" Seeing Miss Zhao Si wearing only a single piece of clothing, Mu Cheng said with pity.
"No need for that. You know that Mu Hanyan and I are enemies. I don't want to go over and be ridiculed by him." Miss Zhao Si said angrily like a child who had not grown up yet, without any of the charm and enchantment she showed in front of other people.
She knew Mu Cheng too well. The more she pretended to be coquettish, the more Mu Cheng would be infatuated with her.
"Actually, Brother Hanyan is not that petty. He just has some misunderstandings about you. I will explain it to you and everything will be fine." Mu Cheng had been so charmed by her pretended cuteness that he couldn't tell the directions. When he heard this, he thought of the grievances she had suffered at Mu Hanyan's hands in the past six months, and felt even more distressed.
"Forget it, don't explain to him. We have been fighting since we were young, and he has a deep prejudice against me. No matter how you explain, it's useless." Miss Zhao Si said dejectedly.
"No, I must convince him and get you back together." Mu Cheng said firmly. He had forgotten that Mu Hanyan and Miss Zhao Si had been at odds with each other since they first met as children. They had never gotten along well, so how could they possibly get back together?
"Let's not talk about her. Here are a few pills that my grandfather gave to me before I left. I heard that they are the elixir handed down from our Zhao family for a thousand years. They are called Yi Sui Hua Qi Pills, and they are very beneficial for improving your cultivation." Miss Zhao Si obviously did not believe Mu Cheng's words, and took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to him.
"How can this be? This was given to you by your grandfather." The porcelain bottle still had a slight body temperature, and Mu Cheng was so moved that his hands were shaking.
"Why are we still arguing about these things now? Don't you know my feelings for you? No one knows where those strange beasts have hidden, and the people from Zhengying Academy haven't come yet. Who knows what dangers will come next? Even for my sake, you have to improve your strength and take care of yourself." Miss Zhao Si said tenderly.
"You've been so good to me. If I, Mu Cheng, ever fail you in this life, I'll make sure I die without a burial place." Mu Cheng couldn't help but hold Miss Zhao Si's hand, tears welling up in his eyes. Now, even if Miss Zhao Si told him to die, he wouldn't complain at all.
Of course Miss Zhao Si would not let him die. She wanted Mu Hanyan to die. In her eyes, Mu Cheng was just a chess piece that could be used.
She knew Mu Cheng's character. Although he was a little silly, he had his own persistence. She could let him die. If it were in the past, she could ask him to help deal with Mu Hanyan in a small fight, but it was absolutely impossible for him to harm Mu Hanyan's life. Therefore, she could only go around in a small circle and let Mu Cheng fall into her trap.
