Xiang Zhilan didn't want to stay in the room filled with the atmosphere of twilight, so she turned around and went out. She ran into the maid from before and asked, "Aren't there any other rooms?"
"Madam has already had the room cleaned, but because the guest room has been unoccupied for so long, it still needs to be treated for pests and ventilated, which will take about two days. For now, we'll have to trouble you to stay in the young master's room," the maid respectfully replied to Xiang Zhilan.
Hearing her say that, Xiang Zhilan didn't want to make things difficult for her any further, so she turned around and went back to Shen Muzhi's room.
She wasn't very sleepy. She sat down in the computer chair and picked up the book that was on the table.
Shen Muzhi's books are as dry and boring as he is; they even include things like planetary orbits.
She flipped through a couple of pages and put the book down. She got up and walked to the bookshelf, where there was a whole row of books about astronomy, and it seemed that this was the row he read most often.
If you love astronomy so much, why don't you go to the observatory?
Xiang Zhilan silently complained, passed the bookshelf, and walked to the display case of the gun models.
There were more than a dozen guns inside. She saw the key on the cabinet hanging on the lock, so she bent down to take it off. She couldn't pull it off, so she turned it and accidentally opened the lock.
She looked at the little pistol on the bottom shelf through the glass case. It was very cute, so she opened the glass door out of curiosity and took the gun out.
It was the perfect size for her to hold, but it was a bit heavy, like a real gun.
“That’s a real gun.” Bo Qingyun opened the door and came in, saw Xiang Zhilan holding a gun, and smiled.
Xiang Zhilan was startled, feeling as if she were holding a hot potato.
“It shouldn’t be loaded.” Bo Qingyun walked over, put down the snacks, took the gun from Xiang Zhilan, put it back in the cabinet, and said, “These are all Mu Zhi’s treasures.”
"Are they all real guns?"
"Of course not, only that one is real. It was a gift he asked me for on his eighteenth birthday, saying that he had someone he wanted to protect." Bo Qingyun recalled Shen Muzhi at that time, the resolute look of that young man, it was the first time she felt that her son had grown up.
Of course, he never actually used the gun; he just kept it there as a reminder that only by becoming stronger could he protect the people he wanted to protect.
However, the person he wanted to protect never had the chance to be protected.
"Is it Su Yan?" Xiang Zhilan recalled the story Ni Sitian had once told her, and she also felt that the two of them were quite a pity.
"You know Su Yan? Mu Zhi told you?" Bo Qingyun was a little surprised. She had originally planned to talk to Xiang Zhilan about this herself.
“No, he has never mentioned it.” Xiang Zhilan shook her head. Not only did he not mention it, but she didn’t care at all. She always felt that this person had nothing to do with her except being the father of the child in her womb.
Seeing the way Xiang Zhilan mentioned Su Yan, Bo Qingyun understood, "You don't like Mu Zhi at all, do you?"
Xiang Zhilan felt there was no point in denying it. They all knew that she and Shen Muzhi were the coerced and the coercer, so how could she possibly fall in love with Shen Muzhi? Perhaps she had been moved by what he had done during that time, but his disappearance for half a month before the wedding, and what happened on the wedding day, had completely extinguished any trace of those feelings.
Her current feeling towards Shen Muzhi is that it would be best if they remained strangers for life.
