"I wish time could turn back time. I don't ask for anything, I just want you to live."
"Yi Yi, you're gone. What am I supposed to do? What will happen to our Guo Guo..."
Mu Nanxun sat in front of Yi Yi's tombstone, talking casually.
Day after day, Mu Nanxun never left the cemetery again.
He rarely ate anything and spent most of his time drinking. When he was too tired to continue, he would lean against the tombstone and close his eyes to rest.
Day and night, day and night reversed, seemed to make no difference to him.
Ouyang and the old man came to persuade him several times and also drank with him a few times.
But no matter what they said, Mu Nanxun remained silent for a long time, his eyes vacant, staring at the photo of the smiling girl on the tombstone.
Xiao Fang, Qing Yun, even Aunt Li... everyone in the villa took turns trying, but he remained the same.
After this happened several times, no one tried to persuade him anymore, and the old man stopped coming to the cemetery.
That day, as usual, Mu Nanxun brought out several plates of Yi Yi's favorite dishes and a pot of wine, and sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone. While drinking, he chatted with the girl in the photo.
"Yi Yi, I brought your favorite spare ribs, as well as a few vegetarian dishes that I just learned to make. Try them and see how they taste."
"I originally wanted to make you pancakes, but I've tried a few times and they're never quite right. I need to practice more."
"You eat, I'm not hungry. Just watching you eat makes me happy."
Xiao Fang came out of the courtyard and bowed slightly to Mu Nanxun.
"Boss, the young lady has come to see you~"
Mu Nanxun seemed not to hear him at all, tilted his head back, and drank the glass of wine he had just poured in one gulp.
Xiao Fang sighed; he wasn't surprised at all by Mu Nanxun's reaction.
"Boss, Miss..."
"I'm not here. I'm talking to Yi Yi."
Mu Nanxun poured himself another glass of wine, raised it to the girl in the photo, and smiled slightly.
When Mu Wenya walked to Mu Nanxun's side, she stopped and did not speak immediately.
Mu Nanxun noticed someone approaching, but didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing to drink his wine as if nothing was wrong.
Immediately, Mu Wenya seemed to finally lose her temper, squatted down, and snatched the wine glass from Mu Nanxun's hand.
“Stop drinking! Look at you! The once powerful Mu Nanxun has become a disheveled beggar. Are you going to live your life like this, aimlessly drifting through life? The company doesn't care anymore, and neither does Guoguo! Do you know what people are saying about you? They say…”
What they say is none of my business!
Mu Nanxun impatiently interrupted her, lifting his heavy eyelids to look at her.
His face was covered in stubble, and although his features were still as handsome as ever, his expression had long lost its former charm.
"Big sister, I don't want to worry about anything right now. Just let me stay here and keep Yi Yi company."
With that, Mu Nanxun simply picked up the wine bottle and started drinking.
Unable to stand it any longer, Mu Wenya snatched the bottle away and launched into a tirade of abuse.
"Do you think I want to care about you? Look at the state you've become, making everyone who cares about you worry about you! Yes, you can ignore what those people say! But what does Yi Yi think? Don't you care at all?!"
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this name, Mu Nanxun was suddenly taken aback.
Seeing his expression, Mu Wenya couldn't bear to scold him any longer. Instead, she sat down beside him and said softly,
"Nanxun, I understand Yi Yi. She loves you deeply and loves Guoguo deeply. And loving someone is simply wanting them to be happy."
