"Xiang... Xiangling..."
Jiang Mu forced a smile and said.
"Is...it really you...brother..."
Xiangling reached out, seemingly wanting to touch Jiang Mu's face, but quickly withdrew her hand, as if afraid that everything before her was a dream...
“Xiangling…” Jiang Mu grabbed her hand and said gently.
"I'm here, it's not a fantasy, don't worry..."
"Brother...brother..." Feeling the touch in her hand, Xiangling was stunned for a moment before throwing herself into Jiang Mu's arms. However, she didn't burst into tears, but only sobbed softly...
"Brother...I'm...I'm sorry...I...I don't know how...I forgot about you..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu felt a pang of heartache.
"The one who should be saying sorry is me..."
Then, after a moment's hesitation, Jiang Mu told Xiangling part of the story...
"So..." Xiangling said with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
"All of this... is because of you, brother..."
“Yes.” Jiang Muxin said resolutely.
Originally, this was his own doing, but now that he's resolved his inner conflict, he might as well face the consequences directly. Whether he gets beaten or scolded... he deserves it.
“Brother…” But, to Jiang Mu’s surprise, Xiang Ling simply shook her head.
"You really are a big fool..."
"Huh?" Jiang Mu was dumbfounded.
"Hehe...I won't tell you..."
Lying quietly in Jiang Mu's arms, Xiang Ling said with a smile.
"You..." Jiang Mu tapped Xiang Ling's forehead, eliciting a coquettish reproach from her...
"Now you can take good care of yourself..." Jiang Mu said seriously, looking at Xiang Ling.
"Yes, my dear brother..." Xiangling immediately shrank back into the quilt.
"Your dear sister is going to sleep, you..."
"Okay, I'll leave right away..." Jiang Mu indicated that he understood, and then climbed out of the window...
"..."
Xiangling stared at Jiang Mu's retreating figure for a long while before angrily retorting.
"That idiot!!!!"
………………
When Jiang Mu returned to the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, he saw Hu Tao pulling Zhong Li along, waiting for him at the entrance.
"Zhongli, when do you think Jiang Mu will come back...?"
Hu Tao tugged at Zhong Li's sleeve, looked up, and asked.
“This…” Zhongli thought for a moment and then said.
"It should be soon... Why don't you go back to your room and rest, Master Hu Tao..."
"Forget it then..." Hu Tao shook her head, "I'm not sleepy yet... Heh—"
As she spoke, Hu Tao let out a big yawn...
Zhongli: "..."
"I'm back."
"Welcome back!" Upon hearing Jiang Mu's voice, Hu Tao's eyes immediately lit up. She ran to Jiang Mu in a few steps and greeted him with a grin.
Jiang Mu: Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to say that at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth...?
"Have you finished taking care of everything?"
"Yes, it's done."
Jiang Mu nodded and looked at Zhong Li, who also nodded slightly...
"Well done." Zhongli's voice suddenly rang in Jiang Mu's mind.
“Uh…” Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
As the Rock Prince, it's quite normal for him to be able to do this...
Thinking this, Jiang Mu nodded to Zhong Li, and then followed Hu Tao into the Hall of Rebirth...
………………
Jiang Mu: "..."
Walnut: つ﹏?
Jiang Mu: "So, why did you barge in while I was changing clothes?"
Walnut: "Ah... this... because..."
Jiang Mu: "So, can you get out of here...?"
"Okay, okay!" Hu Tao quickly ran out, making sure to close the door behind her...
“This guy…” Jiang Mu didn’t say anything, but calmly put on his clothes.
And at this moment, Walnut...
"I didn't expect Jiang Mu to have such a good physique... *slurp*"
Walnut: d\\u003d\\u003d\\u003d\\u003d\\u003d(￣▽￣*)b
After Jiang Mu finished dressing, he slowly pushed open the door.
"Is there something you need?"
"Oh, right!" Hu Tao slapped her forehead and rushed into Jiang Mu's room.
"Is there something you can't say outside...?" Jiang Mu's face darkened...
"Shh—" Hu Tao made a shushing gesture and said mysteriously, "I'm going to show you a big treasure..."
"Speak properly!" Jiang Mu tapped Hu Tao on the head and said irritably.
"Hehe..." Hu Tao wasn't annoyed at all, and instead took out a gleaming red... Eye of God from her bag!
"Ta-da!" Hu Tao giggled.
"Look, now I have the Eye of God too! How about that, isn't that amazing!"
"this……"
Jiang Mu was taken aback and said.
"Well... congratulations..."
"No, no..." Hu Tao waved her hand, "From now on, you're not allowed to bully me anymore, otherwise... Ouch!"
Before Hu Tao could finish speaking, Jiang Mu flicked her forehead with a flick of his wrist...
"Otherwise, what..."
Jiang Mu said with a smile.
"Otherwise... I'll go find Zhongli and tell him you've bullied me!"
Hu Tao covered the large bump on her head and whimpered...
"this……"
Jiang Mu covered his face.
"I really don't know if giving you this Eye of God is a good thing or a bad thing..."
"How could I be bad!" Hu Tao said angrily. "In your heart, am I that kind of person?"
"Well..." Jiang Mu said calmly, "Of course... no..."
"You..." Hu Tao was so angry when she heard Jiang Mu's first sentence that she almost burst into tears, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the last sentence.
"You're smart to know your place..."
As she spoke, Hu Tao pounced on Jiang Mu's bed, then rolled over and landed on the inside of the bed, patting the large empty space behind her.
"Come on, come to sleep!"
"Can't you go back to your own room?"
"This... cough cough..." Hu Tao coughed a few times, pretending to be stupid.
"Ah, um, I'm sleepy, goodnight..."
As he spoke, he pulled the blanket over his face and pretended to be dead...
"You..." Jiang Mu sighed helplessly and could only slowly lie down next to her...
As soon as Jiang Mu lay down, Hu Tao rolled over and clung tightly to him...
"Aren't you... sleepy?" Jiang Mu complained.
"Hehe, Jiang Mu, tell me a story..." Hu Tao said with a grin, her beautiful plum blossom eyes wide open.
“Alright…” Jiang Mu thought for a moment and said, “I’ll tell you the story of a little girl who sells nuclear bombs.”
"good!"
Hu Tao immediately perked up and climbed onto Jiang Mu's chest, her eyes fixed on his face.
“A long, long time ago…” Jiang Mu began slowly.
"There was a little girl who sold nuclear bombs."
"She went door to door in the cold winter."
"Sir, how about buying a nuclear bomb..."
"But nobody paid any attention to her, and nobody patronized her business..."
"Later, the little girl was tired and hungry, and slowly sat down on the steps of a house. At that moment, she remembered her deceased grandmother..."
"As the little girl thought about it, she took a remote control from her waist and pressed the button..."
"Immediately afterwards, countless people saw the little girl's grandmother..."
After finishing the story, Jiang Mu looked at Hu Tao, only to see that her eyes were already half-closed, and she was still muttering to herself...
"Ah, in that case, those people selling coffins around there must be very busy..."
Jiang Mu:......
