Chapter 27 Chapter 27 In the huge room, rows of books...
In the huge room, rows of bookshelves were piled with all kinds of books. Mu Yang picked up a book at random and wanted to read it to pass the time, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.
Li Yian sat at his table, sipping tea seriously. She was always so cold and taciturn, and Mu Yang could never see what she was thinking.
She was like a mystery. Sometimes she seemed to hate him, sometimes she seemed to care about him very much. Most of the time she avoided him and didn't say a word to him. She protected him closely for many days, spoke no more than ten sentences to him, and appeared in front of him no more than five times.
Mu Yang had a lot to say to her, but he didn't know where to start.
"Cousin." He finally couldn't help but speak, "Can you say a few more words to me?"
Li Yian, who was originally enjoying his tea, was stunned when he heard Mu Yang's gentle and cautious words. He turned around and looked at Mu Yang, "Huh? What did you say?"
Mu Yang's slender fingers gripping the book tightened slightly, and he looked at her expectantly. "You can say anything, like what you do at the martial arts academy, interesting things that happened between you and your friends there, what kind of men you like? Or what kind of food you like, what kind of activities you like, anything is fine..."
He had lived with Li Yian for nearly ten years, but he didn't know her at all. They were like strangers. He was even sure that he had spoken no more than a hundred words to Li Yian during those ten years.
Li Yian felt a little uncomfortable under his scorching gaze. Her hand was still holding the teacup. The exquisite tea in the cup told her that "one should be grateful for what one has received from others, and one should be grateful for what one has received from others." It would be really unfair for her to run away directly.
She is a very introverted person. Even when she is with her good brother Qi Yang, she rarely speaks. Most of the time, it is Qi Yang who talks and she listens.
Now Mu Yang asked her to talk to him, which was difficult for her. She could only stiffly answer his previous question, "Practicing martial arts in the martial arts academy, practicing martial arts with friends in the martial arts academy, liking strong people, liking... cough, the osmanthus wine you make, liking martial arts activities..."
She really wasn't suited to chatting. After just introducing herself, she felt awkward again. She stood up and was about to jump onto the beam.
But Mu Yang called out hurriedly, "Cousin, don't leave yet, I have some osmanthus wine."
Li Yian, who was about to jump, stopped, turned to look at Mu Yang, and asked calmly, "Where?"
Mu Yang smiled, his eyes curved and his smile was beautiful. He said softly, "My cousin is a very pure person."
Mu Yang's voice has always been soft, gentle and pleasant. At this moment, he softened his voice to praise her for being a "pure" person, which made Li Yian wonder if he was scolding her for being greedy. Thinking of this, she snorted with a tense face.
Mu Yang seemed to have thought of something, put down the book, and walked quickly out of the house.
As a responsible guardian, Li Yian quickly put down his teacup when he left the house, stood up quickly, and followed him. But Mu Yang quickly dug out a wine jar with his hoe under a flowering tree, then held the jar and smiled gently at Li Yian, "This is the osmanthus wine I made earlier. I'm giving it to you."
Li Yian was stunned for a moment, watching Mu Yang approach the house with a jar of wine in his arms. She turned around and followed him in.
Mu Yang wet a clean handkerchief and carefully wiped the dust off the wine jar, pulled out the cork from the jar, and poured the clear osmanthus wine into the wine glass. For a moment, the fragrance of osmanthus filled the entire room.
Mu Yang turned around and went out again, took some exquisite snacks from the small kitchen next to his house, carried the wooden box full of snacks to his desk, and carefully arranged the various snacks in the wooden box one by one. Soon, there were tea, wine and snacks on his desk.
Li Yian watched him walking around like a virtuous little cook and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Mu Yang turned around and said seriously, "This is a thanksgiving banquet for my cousin."
Under the candlelight, the handsome face of the young man in white looked so gentle, like a warm spring breeze, as if it could dispel the cold winter in his heart. Li Yian felt a little complicated. It was obvious that they were not compatible, so why did he do all these unnecessary things?
How long can Mu Yang, who is so gentle at this moment, remain gentle to her?
She could always recall the brutal torture Mu Yang inflicted on the original owner, Li Yian, in the novel. He bound her limbs with four magic ropes and pulled her into the air. Thunderbolts struck her one after another, whipping her body to a bloody mess, until her flesh and bones were visible, until her soul was completely annihilated.
Mu Yang, who might be extremely cruel to her in the future, treated her so gently at this moment, which really made her feel mixed emotions.
Seeing that Li Yian was silent, Mu Yang said softly with some trepidation, "I hope to understand my cousin better."
