Sure

Mu An Ning, who was lying on the ground, was slightly surprised when he found that the person coming was a tall young man in black clothes.

She had originally been planning on waiting for the owner of the pavilion to come to the woodshed again and then looking for an opportunity to take a gamble.

The worst outcome would be starving to death in this uninhabited place.

I didn't expect that after a day and a night, Gu Huaizhi could still find this desolate place.

From her angle, she could only see half of his body, while the other half was covered by the pile of firewood in front of her, which was as high as a mountain.

In the light of the fire, the boy's thin lips were tightly pursed, and the thumb of his right hand, which was hanging at his side, was unconsciously rubbing against his index finger.

She knew that this was a subtle movement he would make when he was panicked.

But...what does Mu Wan'er mean?

Ever since Gu Huaizhi stepped into the woodshed, Mu Wan'er's voice, filled with despair and helplessness, kept reaching her ears.

She could tell that the male supporting role that Mu Wan'er mentioned was Gu Huaizhi.

According to her, he will only save her as the heroine, while the supporting actress 'Mu An Ning' will turn evil.

Although she was not sure about the specific meaning of the word "blackening", she knew in her heart that it was not a good word.

She raised her eyes again, and saw the young man's slightly gloomy gaze passed over Mu Wan'er in front of him, and was scanning every corner of the woodshed in great detail, not missing a single detail.

Seems like...looking for her?

However, he just wouldn't look at the corner where she was.

Even though the wood hid where she was, he was observing so carefully that she couldn't be completely invisible.

Seeing this, she realized that what Mu Wan'er said was true.

All of them are being manipulated by the so-called plot and system.

This explains these unusual occurrences.

After a while, she saw Gu Huaizhi stride up to Mu Wan'er, untie her neatly, and signal her to remove the cloth stuffed in her mouth herself.

He stood up, tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand, and still looked around.

He secretly clenched his palms, and in a hoarse voice, he asked Mu Wan'er, who was dressed as a man in front of him, "Where is Mu An Ning?"

The two sisters were clearly kidnapped together, but why was Mu Wan'er the only one here?

He had a vague feeling in his heart that she was right here at the moment, but he always felt that there was an invisible barrier in front of him, blocking his sight.

Mu Wan'er, on the other hand, looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She opened her lips slightly but refused to speak.

Hearing her name from the boy's mouth, the girl lying on the ground suddenly looked a little surprised.

She thought he wouldn't think of her.

According to Mu Wan'er, he should have left directly instead of staying like this.

Just as Mu Wan'er was struggling to speak, waves of rapid and muffled footsteps were heard from outside.

Gu Huaizhi's face changed slightly when he heard the voice. He turned around quickly, glanced back at Mu Wan'er, and said without hesitation, "Follow me."

Mu An Ning saw that the young man seemed to pause for a moment, but he never looked back.

【I hate it!!!】

[At the critical moment, the male supporting role becomes blind and I become mute. ]

[What should I do with my daughter?! ]

As Mu Wan'er's voice gradually faded away, a short but strong man wearing a black veil trotted into the house.

His sharp eyes swept through the woodshed and immediately locked onto the girl lying in the corner.

His expression changed again and again, and he hurriedly ran out of the house and reported to the person outside the door: "Boss, one is missing."

Then, he added uncertainly: "Boss, do you want to report this to the Pavilion Master?"

The other person thought for a moment and said in an unquestionable tone: "Chase first."

Mu An Ning heard that the man called "boss" was the groom who had tied her and Mu Wan'er here.

They didn't expect them to act so quickly. Gu Huai had barely arrived when they got the news.

The short man took the order and went back into the house, threatening the girl lying on the ground, "Don't run around."

Mu An Ning lowered his eyes and did not respond.

However, the man did not seem to expect her to respond. He just glanced at the tightly closed window above him and then carefully locked the door that had been pried open.

With the sound of the door lock falling, Mu An Ning calmly looked at the closed door, but her heart sank a little.

Of course she was grateful that Mu Wan'er was rescued.

But now, can she only wait for death to come?

Even though nothing happened after being kidnapped for a day and a night, given her adoptive father's personality, he would probably feel that she had lost her dignity.

But if it was Mu Wan'er, maybe it would be different.

She sighed silently and tried to struggle a few times.

But her hands had been tied behind her back for a day and a night, and the more she struggled, the more painful it became.

The hemp rope that bound her seemed to be embedded in her skin, like a ruthless poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around her wrists.

The stinging sensation made her eyes water a little, but she didn't want to cry, so she simply closed her eyes slowly.

Now that we are here, let’s make the best of it.

However, this peace did not last long.

Because God, or rather the system, couldn't stand her indifference at the moment.

"Mu An Ning, this is the man you once loved deeply."

"You have never been in his eyes. Not in the past, not now, and certainly not in the future."

"He only saw Mu Wan'er just now."

With these ethereal words echoing in her ears, she suddenly opened her eyes, but felt nothing unusual.

But after a moment, she felt a chill all over her body, her breathing became rapid and her whole body curled up.

The clear almond-shaped eyes of the past gradually became cloudy, and an indescribable resentment surged in her heart.

It's right.

Ever since Mu Wan'er returned home, everyone has been surrounding her, whether it was the Mu family before or Gu Huaizhi now.

Every bit of the past gradually emerged before her eyes: her grandmother's distrust, her adoptive father's exploitation, her adoptive mother's resentment, all of which told her that she was not as good as Mu Wan'er.

But was it her original intention to exchange their lives?

She certainly didn't want to reunite with her family, but she and her biological parents were already separated by heaven.

A crystal teardrop unconsciously slid down her cheek like the gurgling flow of a clear stream.

If there is one drop, there will be a second drop and a third drop.

Before she knew it, her eyes were filled with tears and the resentment in her heart grew stronger.

She didn't want to die here, but she had no way to escape.

Why is it that Mu Wan'er can escape safely from any dangerous situation, and she...

At this moment, the firewood in front of her was suddenly pushed away.

Her thoughts were interrupted, she paused in her sobbing and raised her head slightly.

What came into her wet eyes was the young man who had just left.

He was obviously relieved when he saw her, but he was stunned when he saw the tears on her face: "Mu An Ning, you..."

He seldom saw her cry. The last time was probably when she was a child.

He suddenly squatted down, his eyes full of emotions, and said dryly, "Sorry." He carefully untied her and said, "...I'm late."

For some reason, when he saw the weak state of the girl, he just felt an indescribable tightness in his chest.

When Mu An Ning heard the familiar voice, her eyelashes trembled. She finally came to her senses and realized that she was being manipulated by something again.

While she was in a state of uncertainty, the boy had already untied the bonds on her hands and feet, and was carefully pulling the cloth out of her mouth.

Mu An Ning felt that his mouth was finally empty. He took a few breaths and felt that his breathing was much smoother, but the corners of his lips were a little sore.

She raised her eyes inadvertently, slightly dazed.

She had almost never seen the boy's focused look before.

If she had been looked at by him like this before, she would probably feel sweet waves in her heart again.

As she gathered her thoughts and slowly sat up, Gu Huaizhi looked outside with a serious expression and said in a rare gentle voice, "Let's go."

Having said that, he reached out his hand to help her stand up.

Mu An Ning slightly moved to the side to avoid it, said that she could do it on her own, and then stood up with a slight stagger.

Although my hands and feet are still a little numb and painful after being tied up for a day and a night, it feels great to no longer be bound.

Gu Huaizhi paused as he stretched out his hand, then slowly retracted it, pondering in silence.

After Mu An Ning stood firm, there was another sound of footsteps outside. He didn't know why, but it was always so timely.

Before the girl had time to react, Gu Huaizhi grabbed her wrist with his left hand and walked out of the woodshed quickly.

He held her tightly, and she couldn't break free, so she was forced to follow his steps.

As she walked quickly, she didn't ask him why he returned to the woodshed. She just asked softly, "Where's Wan'er?"

Gu Huaizhi's eyebrows moved, and his voice was a little low: "I have asked Gu Ji to escort her away."

Just now, after sending Mu Wan'er away, he seemed to wake up and was shocked to realize that he had actually forgotten about Mu An Ning.

Mu An Ning had just calmed down after hearing this, when he saw several flames in front of him, coming towards them.

Gu Huaizhi clicked his tongue, quickly pulled her into a random room, and carefully closed the door.

He had his back to the door and she was standing in front of him.

They were so close that she could clearly see beads of sweat on the boy's neck.

The young man's breath was blowing against her face, but she didn't seem to feel the same excitement.

She originally thought that she still had some attachment to him in her heart.

But now, she was sure.

She really doesn't like him anymore.

Mu An Ning didn't know that when she was sure of her feelings, the young man in front of her was also sure of his feelings.

He couldn't explain why he had been so resistant to the girl in front of him in the past, but at this moment, his Adam's apple that was rolling unconsciously and his violent heartbeat were proving one thing.

He probably doesn't dislike her, and he can even be said to... like her.

The girl's eyes were slightly lowered, and her warm breath sprayed on his throat, but there was no change in her expression, nor was it stained with red as usual.

He stretched out his hand as if possessed by a ghost, trying to wipe away the layer of dust on her fair cheeks.

But just as he was about to touch it, voices suddenly came from outside the door.

The girl turned her head away when she heard the voice, and his hand stopped in mid-air.

The person outside asked tentatively, "Boss, this is the deputy owner's room." He paused and said weakly, "Do you want to go in?"
