"Is it okay now?" Yu Zhenlong tried his best to suppress his resentment and anger, clenching his fists and trying to keep his voice calm.
Mu Yanxuan glanced at Yu Zhenlong indifferently, said nothing, and pulled Ji Yueyao away. The current situation was already quite good for them; after all, now was not the time to openly antagonize Yu Zhenlong… they should just let things calm down for a few days.
“I don’t want to see them again.” Ji Yueyao said, turning around. Her voice was pleasant and melodious, but to Yu Zhenlong and the others, it sounded rather sarcastic.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Yu Zhenlong quickly turned around and walked back. He really hadn't accomplished anything and had even lost two people... Damn Mu Yanxuan!
And that Ji Yueyao deserves to die too! Yu Zhenlong took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and thought to himself that the little girl he hadn't paid any attention to back then had grown up to this extent in just half a year... If he had known she was such a slut, he should have nipped her in the bud long ago.
At this moment, Ji Yueyao, who was being cursed by Yu Zhenlong, was walking calmly beside Mu Yanxuan, glancing at the person next to her without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yanxuan had naturally noticed her gaze long ago, and lowered his head to ask softly.
"I have a question... um, we'll talk about it when we get back." Ji Yueyao released Mu Yanxuan's hand and turned to walk towards Kaqi, who was following behind her. "Kachi, what exactly happened today? How did you end up in Xu Lingnan's hands?"
Kachi shook her head, her face darkening as she looked at Yao Lin, who was being supported by her. The injury to her leg made her walk slowly, but fortunately Ji Yueyao was also walking slowly to take care of her, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have been able to keep up. "I stood at Yao Lin's door and knocked for a long time, but no one answered. The store was open... When I went in, I smelled a strong smell of blood."
Kachi paused here, looking at the listless Yao Lin beside her, and ultimately couldn't continue.
So this means they're all dead...? Ji Yueyao understood. She glanced at Yao Lin, not intending to ask any further questions, and personally helped him up, saying, "Kachi, you're injured. Let me help Yao Lin."
Kachi's hand was still supporting Yao Lin, and she hesitated for a moment before letting go.
Yao Lin seems to be completely unconscious right now; when he walks, it's as if he's just moving instinctively.
Just as Ji Yueyao helped Yao Lin up, the next second her shoulder felt empty, and when she looked up, she saw that Yao Lin was already being supported by Mu Yanxuan.
“Uh…” Ji Yueyao was stunned. This speed… he hadn’t been this proactive before.
Mu Yanxuan dragged Yao Lin along expressionlessly, as if he were supporting a wisp of air.
Silently rubbing her forehead, Ji Yueyao walked to the side and waved to Yao Lin, "Yao Lin, how are you?"
Yao Lin didn't speak; he seemed completely lost in thought, and Ji Yueyao couldn't do anything about it.
With a sigh, Ji Yueyao decided to go back and wait until Yao Lin's condition stabilized before making any further decisions.
Because the entire base was in a busy and crowded state just as dawn broke, it took Ji Yueyao and the others almost three times as long to get back to the villa.
"I'm exhausted..." Kachi collapsed onto the sofa, deeply questioning how she had managed to navigate such a crowded place. She got up and went back to her room; the ordeal of the night left her wanting nothing more than to get some sleep.
I'm mentally and physically exhausted.
Ji Yueyao then handed Yao Lin, who was hanging on the sofa, to Bai Yi, telling him to calm down for a while before looking at it.
The sky stood motionless in front of the table, its big eyes darting around, looking east and west.
After dealing with these matters, Ji Yueyao finally had time to look up at Mu Yanxuan and ask the question that had been weighing on her mind, "What happened to Xia Yaoxuan?"
Mu Yanxuan, who had taken off her coat and poured two glasses of water at the table, was taken aback and paused in her actions. "Why do you ask that?"
“If it were him, he wouldn’t have helped me and then left…” Ji Yueyao frowned, somewhat puzzled, not noticing that Mu Yan’s eyes had darkened. “I don’t even know when he arrived at the Xiyu base.”
"You care about him that much...?"
Mu Yanxuan raised his hand and pulled Ji Yueyao into his arms, trapping her in his embrace. In that instant, Ji Yueyao couldn't even struggle... She stared blankly at the hands that bound her, and in the suddenly stagnant air, even her breathing became cautious.
A sense of oppression.
This is the sense of pressure Mu Yanxuan exerted on her.
Ji Yueyao struggled to lift his head, but unexpectedly fell into those cold eyes... This was the first time he had looked at him with such a gaze, and the chilling feeling was utterly bone-chilling.
Sky didn't even dare to move its eyes; it looked at Ji Yueyao as if it couldn't even use its abilities.
"...Mu Yanxuan?" Ji Yueyao struggled to free one hand to touch Mu Yanxuan's cheek, asking in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
The force around her waist tightened even more suddenly, making Ji Yueyao feel uncomfortable. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say... because she completely didn't understand what was wrong with Mu Yanxuan all of a sudden!
"Ji Yueyao, I won't allow you to care about other men!" Mu Yan leaned close to Ji Yueyao's ear, almost gritting her teeth as she squeezed out these words, "I won't allow you to care about Xia Yaoxuan, absolutely not!"
"..." Ji Yueyao was completely bewildered. What was going on? "I was just worried... What are you thinking?"
"Why are you so concerned about Xia Yaoxuan leaving you? What's wrong with him?" Mu Yanxuan seemed to frantically approach Ji Yueyao, lightly touching her cheek with his lips. "He's a grown man, what do you have to worry about... Do you know what I feel when you're thinking about other men..."
I even wish I could just completely erase that bastard you're thinking of. Mu Yanxuan didn't say anything more; he simply turned his head and buried his face in Ji Yueyao's neck, trying hard to suppress the deep sense of violence in his heart.
"Mu Yanxuan... are you jealous?" Ji Yueyao blinked, finally understanding... It was ridiculous that she, someone who had never been in a relationship, had to guess the psychology of this jealous guy... It was like she had lost a lot of brain cells!
The room fell silent, and a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere began to emerge.
"...Mmm." After a long silence, a soft "Mmm" finally escaped his lips. Mu Yanxuan blushed slightly, the darkness in his eyes fading to reveal a faint light. He raised his hand to shield Ji Yueyao's eyes, not wanting her to see him in such a disheveled state.
Suddenly, everything went dark, and Ji Yueyao couldn't help but burst out laughing. This guy was just too cute! She reached out and ruffled Mu Yanxuan's hair, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Xia Yaoxuan and I are just childhood friends. He's my partner, not my boyfriend... What are you thinking?!" (To be continued.)
