Chapter 33 Secret
Ling Qingyan lied without blushing or getting nervous.
When mentioning Ling Yu in front of Mu Xianzhi, it was as if he was treating Ling Yu as an elder.
"So, Master Mu came to see me just because he missed me?" Ling Qingyan moved closer.
Mu Xianzhi was surprised at the girl's boldness.
I have to say, she has a very bad memory.
I forgot the last time I painted and taught her alone.
"Take you to dinner." Mu Xianzhi said.
Ling Qingyan raised the corners of her eyebrows slightly.
Why did you suddenly think of taking her out for dinner?
Dating?
Got it?
Fall in love with her?
Ling Qingyan glanced at his favorability value, which was 25%.
It didn't rise much.
Confused, she followed him to a restaurant.
He wore a mask and prepared a veil for her, and the two of them entered the private room of the restaurant.
It is the most famous Zui Xiang Lou in Beijing, and the prices are not cheap.
After entering the private room, Mu Xianzhi took off his mask and the girl's veil.
The waiter served the dishes one after another without any extra reaction to the two of them.
Ling Qingyan reacted.
“Is this your property?”
"Yes." Mu Xianzhi said.
The dishes were exquisite and beautiful, with good color, aroma and taste. Ling Qingyan didn't understand why Mu Xianzhi suddenly brought her to dinner.
"Master Mu should not bother to kill a little princess like me." She swallowed and glanced at Mu Xianzhi.
Mu Xianzhi looked at the girl's cautious and life-saving look and found it a little funny, "Are you afraid of me?"
How can I not be afraid?
Ling Qingyan secretly complained in her heart.
He killed her nominal royal brother in front of her. How could she not be afraid?
Moreover, the contrast between Mu Xianzhi during the day and at night is so great, it's too split. If Ling Qingyan didn't have a mission, she would definitely run away if she met someone like Mu Xianzhi.
But even though she thought so, Ling Qingyan still curled her lips.
"No." Ling Qingyan took a bite of food and put it in her mouth. "I was just being cautious to protect myself."
"Besides, if the Master wanted to kill me, there would be no need to go through so much trouble."
"I've washed my neck and handed it to you."
Ling Qingyan had an expression that showed she didn't care about life or death. She took a bite of the food she had just eaten and fed it to Mu Xianzhi: "After all, you are the one who knows most of my secrets."
Mu Xianzhi smiled as he watched the girl's actions, and the next moment, the dish was handed to his mouth.
He visibly stiffened.
Their eyes met.
Ling Qingyan's hands were almost sore from lifting them, but Mu Xianzhi still didn't move.
His expression was a little unnatural.
What's going on?
You can't really poison him.
Not really, and killing her wouldn't be that troublesome.
Mu Xianzhi turned his head away, frowned and took a sip of tea, as if he was suppressing the... nausea in his stomach?
He drank so quickly that he even choked a little.
Ling Qingyan put down her chopsticks and smoothed it over for him.
"Mu Xianzhi, what's wrong with you?" she asked with concern.
"Nothing."
He looked miserable, as if he was recalling something bad.
Ling Qingyan gently placed her hands on his shoulders: "Mu Xianzhi, look at me."
The girl's voice was soft, yet carried a reassuring power.
Mu Xianzhi looked into her eyes, and the nauseating feeling faded away.
"I've told you all my secrets. I trust you very much. Can you try to trust me too?"
"I want to know why you feel so bad. Did I remind you of something bad?" The girl's voice was filled with a hint of self-blame.
A thin layer of sweat seeped out of Mu Xianzhi's forehead. He looked at the girl with a curious look, as if he was thinking about whether he should listen to her.
Everyone who knew his past is dead.
Ling Qingyan continued to coax her: "Don't keep the secret to yourself, okay? I feel sorry for you, and I want to share it with you."
She was like a goddess who came down from the nine heavens to relieve his suffering and obsession.
As if he had finally made up his mind, Mu Xianzhi opened his mouth and said, "When I was very young, I was fed something very disgusting."
"Raw animal livers, and human flesh." Mu Xianzhi's voice seemed calm, but if you looked closely you would find that his whole body was tense.
Whenever he thought about it, he couldn't stop feeling cold.
He had never been fed food by anyone else, and the only thing he was force-fed was something so disgusting.
So when the girl fed the food to his mouth, he thought of that unbearable experience again.
She must have been scared.
After all, he had eaten such disgusting things and even human flesh.
It would be difficult for someone as innocent and romantic as her to accept him like this.
He not only killed people, but also ate them.
Mu Xianzhi's heart sank little by little, and his body felt very cold, as if he had fallen into the depths of cold.
The next moment, an extremely soft body pressed against him.
Ling Qingyan hugged him.
The girl's body was as soft as cotton, and she wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly.
A light orchid fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and he felt a little greedy.
If he lowered his head slightly, he could touch the skin of the girl's forehead.
Close, too close.
The nausea in my stomach was completely replaced by the girl's warmth, fragrance and softness.
Bad thoughts popped up in my mind again, but at this moment, it was obviously too inappropriate.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know I would remind you of such a bad experience." Ling Qingyan was full of apology.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Mu Xianzhi asked puzzledly.
"Why should I be afraid?" Ling Qingyan looked up at him in confusion.
That look was too sincere and straightforward.
Mu Xianzhi's heart skipped a beat.
His eyes fixed on the girl, "Your Highness, you shouldn't be so close to me."
He didn't understand why she trusted him so much.
"Master Mu, you shouldn't say such insincere things to me."
If he really thought so, why would he come to see her today?
A man who says one thing and means another.
Mu Xianzhi laughed, "I said that from your perspective you shouldn't do it, I didn't say I don't like it."
There was a hint of heat in his eyes as he looked at Ling Qingyan.
He didn't get or want much in his life.
Getting too close to him is not a good choice for the girl.
"Then I'll help you slowly forget the bad things, okay?" Ling Qingyan was taking a redemption approach.
"Yeah." Mu Xianzhi agreed.
The two continued to eat.
Ling Qingyan stopped feeding him. Mu Xianzhi didn't eat much. He seemed to have little desire for worldly things and was indifferent to delicious food.
But Ling Qingyan is different. She feels that she cannot let such a large table of delicious food go to waste.
So she tried each one.
Although her appetite was not particularly large, she did manage to eat equally.
She ate with great relish, and from time to time she would pick up some food for Mu Xianzhi.
Mu Xianzhi ate all the dishes that Ling Qingyan picked up.
After a meal, Mu Xianzhi's favorability rose to 40%.
Ling Qingyan was a little surprised.
She decided to come and have dinner with Mu Xianzhi more often in the future.
"It's getting late, I should go back. Thank you for your hospitality today, the food is delicious." Ling Qingyan smiled and was about to leave.
Mu Xianzhi stood in front of her.
"Where are you going?"
