She simply disliked Ji Muhan speaking up for her; no, she disliked Ji Muhan speaking up for all girls except herself.
Ji Muhan remained indifferent; he had already indicated that he no longer believed her assurances.
She never actually did it. After each time, she would always act very well-behaved, but in reality, she would do all sorts of things boldly and recklessly.
Mo Qing, with a malicious intent, dragged Shen Shaolin into the mess and absolved herself of responsibility, saying, "Because Shen Shaolin has a female military officer with a good family background, excellent education, and good looks pursuing you, I just wanted to test your attitude towards her, didn't I?"
Ji Muhan's brow twitched, silently adding another mark against Shen Shaolin in her mind, but her face remained cold and indifferent as she looked at her calmly, "What did you test?"
"Hanhan, you know my heart is pure, so there's no way you could have feelings for her. I'm relieved." Mo Qing winked at him mischievously and flattered him with a sweet, ingratiating voice.
"Hehehe." Ji Muhan gave a cold laugh, full of sarcasm.
Was it a ghost playing tricks on him just now?
However, Mo Qing didn't care and still smiled at him carefree. That bright and beautiful smile made Ji Muhan's eyes darken. He paused for a few seconds and then looked away indifferently.
Mo Qing didn't mind his coldness; on the contrary, she had gotten used to Ji Muhan's personality and quietly ate her breakfast.
Ji Muhan glanced indifferently at Mo Qing, who was quietly eating breakfast. Although the girl usually talked a lot and seemed unable to stop, she still had good manners at the table and did not make a sound while eating.
"After you finish dinner, I'll take you home." Ji Muhan finished her meal in a few minutes; it was neither salty nor bland.
"Hanhan, I'm not going back, I'm not going back." Mo Qing protested without thinking, then pretended to be in pain, her eyes watery and looking at him with a pitiful expression as if silently accusing him of being heartless.
"My foot injury hasn't fully healed yet. Are you sure you want to be so cruel as to send me back? What if my foot injury worsens on the way back?"
Hanhan is always so heartless; all she wants is to stay by his side…
Ji Muhan calmly exposed her lie, "Since you don't need to walk, it won't get heavier."
Seeing that feigning pitifulness was useless, Mo Qing simply turned her head to the side without thinking twice, stubbornly saying, "No, I'm not going back anyway."
Ji Muhan's eyes flickered slightly. She looked up at her and said, "Then I'll hand you over to your brother."
"Hanhan." Mo Qing was taken aback, her pretty face scrunched up, somewhat reluctant to call him.
She knew perfectly well that what she feared most was her brother. With his indifferent demeanor, she had witnessed his most ruthless methods, which felt like they could kill her at any moment.
Why are you using him to pressure her?
"Don't call out, it's annoying." Ji Muhan looked away at the opportune moment and turned to leave.
Seeing his unmoved expression, Mo Qing subconsciously bit her lip and called out to his retreating figure, "Ji Muhan."
"Mo Qing, one should know when to stop and not push one's luck." Ji Muhan's eyes were slightly cold.
He has been too indulgent with her lately, which has made her increasingly unscrupulous and demanding.
Seeing that he had stopped and was willing to talk to her, Mo Qing immediately smiled sweetly, still unrepentant, "What will you do if I push my luck any further?"
Ji Muhan sneered, "I'll throw you into the lake to feed the crocodiles."
Mo Qing covered her mouth in horror and shook her head hurriedly.
Seeing that she was silent, Ji Muhan strode away.
As soon as Ji Muhan left, Mo Qing's terrified expression vanished. She rested her chin on her hands, gazing at the blue and white clouds outside the window, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused and dim.
She murmured to herself, her voice filled with complex emotions, "I never imagined you could accept me so quickly. I just want to stay by your side a little longer, Hanhan..."
She was simply craving the warmth of the moment, craving the meager tenderness he was offering, because they were too far apart, and she couldn't stay by his side like this. She feared that even a return to him might mean never seeing him again…
She wasn't unaware of Ji Muhan's special feelings for her; it's just that his self-control was too strong. His heart was like it was bound by many shackles, and she had only unlocked one lock. Perhaps there were countless other locks to unlock...
If she wants all the passes, it will probably take some time...
...
On the training ground, as always, whistles sounded, and the crackling of bullets and grenades never stopped.
The atmosphere was tense and oppressive, as if everyone was racing against time. In the past, Ji Muhan would have simply blended in with them.
However, he was feeling a complex mix of emotions that he couldn't quite grasp. He felt irritable, and everything seemed irritating to him. This feeling was very abnormal and came on very strangely; it just suddenly appeared.
He looked up and saw a lush green forest not far away. Looking at it made him feel refreshed and relaxed. He closed his eyes and leaned against the railing.
With its head tilted back, facing the sun, it seemed to want to bask in the sunlight and enjoy this moment of leisure and tranquility, and even its tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
A gentle breeze blew by, but it seemed to carry a fiery temperature, offering no relief from the heat. In particular, Ji Muhan appeared to be lost in thought, her mind elsewhere. Although it wasn't very obvious, Shen Shaolin and the others still noticed it keenly.
After all, under normal circumstances, Ji Muhan should have already faced them one by one in battle, but now he was standing alone not far away, his tall figure seemingly shrouded in a faint sense of doubt.
