pain
Mu Qingyan was inevitably surprised when she saw the people in the room. Before she could say anything, Xu Chenxi rushed over aggressively and pushed her out without hesitation:
"What are you doing here? Go away! You're not welcome here!"
The girl's pretty face was full of reproach. Mu Qingyan sighed inwardly and used a clever angle to dissolve the not-so-strong force. He also freed his hands to put his arm around the girl's back and patted her soothingly.
"Miss Chenxi...Miss Lanxi?" Tanaka looked left and right, almost wanting to slit his throat. "Please follow me, Mr. Chenxi needs to rest."
Something bad almost happened yesterday, and his master has already given him a death order, absolutely not allowing anyone to enter here casually.
I had thought I was just going downstairs to pick up Miss Mu and would be back in a short time. If this negligence allowed other people with ulterior motives to take advantage of it, and if the young master made another mistake, I'm afraid the sky would fall.
Xu Lanxi, who had been sitting at the head of the bed, did not react much. She even carefully combed the hair of the sleeping person. Then she looked at Mu Qingyan and nodded slightly:
"Is that Miss Mu? I keep hearing Kinsley mention you. Sorry, Kinsley was too tired yesterday and just went to bed not long ago. I'm sorry, Miss Mu, please don't mind."
As she spoke, she observed Mu Qingyan's expression.
As expected, that pretty face slowly became gloomy and her brows furrowed.
Xu Lanxi could almost imagine the other party's dissatisfied questions that would follow.
“Just fell asleep...
Mu Qingyan muttered to herself, and her eyes were filled with worry and self-blame.
"Has he always been like this lately..."
Xu Lanxi was stunned.
Tanaka spoke truthfully beside him:
"Mr. has been in a bad state these past few days... He needs sleeping pills to fall asleep... But he drinks too much, and I don't dare let him take the pills too often..."
It took Mu Qingyan a long time to come back to his senses from the housekeeper's words. He exhaled heavily and slowly, his eyes falling on the figure on the bed.
She realized that she hadn't seen him for a long time.
"It's my fault... I should have come earlier..."
"At any rate, your coming here has finally persuaded the gentleman."
Tanaka said a word of comfort, then nodded respectfully to the other two and made a "please" gesture.
The youngest one was the most impatient. His attention had just been inexplicably diverted, and he finally found another opportunity:
"I don't want to leave! She's the one who should leave! Mu Qingyan! It was you who hurt Kinsley like this, and you still have the nerve to come here!"
Xu Chenxi didn't care how loud her voice was, and Tanaka and Xu Lanxi couldn't stop her.
Soon, the body under the thin blanket moved, followed by a rapid gasp that was obviously caused by being awakened.
Tanaka immediately went over to help the uneasy master up, but was pushed away impatiently by the latter:
"You're really getting better at doing things. You dare to push anyone into my hands—"
"Sir, you—"
"Stop making so much noise! If you dare to say another word, get out of here and go back to the Shen family—"
“Kinsley…”
The sound was so low that it was almost inaudible, but it seemed to have pressed the pause button on the young master who was very grumpy when waking up, and the whole room suddenly became extremely quiet.
Mu Qingyan looked at the haggard and thin face of the man who was always unusually lively, and the obvious bruises under his lifeless eyes, and could no longer bear the heartache and walked straight forward.
But she never expected that Kinsley would hide from her hand and shrink towards the head of the bed, closing his eyes as if very tired, and ordered:
"Tanaka, take them out."
Mu Qingyan and the butler looked at each other and nodded.
"yes."
Until the sound of the wooden door closing, Kinsley seemed to be relieved, threw off the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
But his snow blindness had only recovered slightly, and he still couldn't see things clearly. He was suddenly tripped by something that had been thrown around in the past few days.
Before he almost fell, a pair of hands reached out and supported his back.
No need to guess who it is.
With his instructions, Tanaka dared to drive away anyone, but he didn't dare to touch Mu Qingyan.
After all, even he himself couldn't really say "no" to her.
Even with only a vague outline, Kinsley could clearly picture the face, but he forced himself to close his eyes and tried his best to put on the same frivolous smile as before:
"I want to take a shower! Why, Miss Mu, do you want to join me?"
Mu Qingyan couldn't help but care about a certain title, but now was not the time to worry about it.
"You...have trouble with your eyes. Let me help you."
Her tone was very confident, as if she didn't think it was a big deal to share a bathroom with a man.
Kinsley's expression suddenly darkened, and he struggled to escape from those hands:
"No need. I don't have the habit of taking advantage of others. Miss Mu, please rest assured that even if I can't see, I won't kill myself in the bathtub—"
"Xiao Yin..."
Mu Qingyan interrupted him with a sigh, the powerlessness in her tone almost drowned the two of them.
"Even if you're angry at me for bullying you, don't hurt yourself by saying such things, okay..."
The muscles of her forearm, which was in her hand, visibly stiffened, and she could also hear the sob of grievance that the person next to her was deliberately suppressing in his throat.
Just as he was about to touch the face so close to him, Kinsley ran into the bathroom as if escaping and slammed the door.
Mu Qingyan stood alone in the empty master bedroom, pinching her brows and sighing.
...
Xu Lanxi sat in the living room, and her sister's complaining voice made her lose interest.
After all, she was completely concerned about Kinsley in the room not far away, and...
Mu Qingyan who just appeared.
Ever since she came across this name a few days ago, she has been curious about the other party.
After all, what you see in the gossip media is different from the real person. Xu Lanxi had to admit that the girl had a face that Kinsley would like.
But the Mu Qingyan in front of him was not as calm and composed as he had imagined. For some reason, he was filled with strange compassion and depression.
She couldn't understand the complex sorrow deep in her eyes, and that indescribable sense of alienation was not an illusion.
It is no wonder that Mu Qingyan had the courage to face Kinsley's anger and insisted on staying in the inner room, even ignoring Tanaka.
She couldn't do this, so at this moment she could only force herself to calm down and not think about what the two people were doing on the other side of the wall.
But nothing she imagined happened. Mu Qingyan came out soon and told Tanaka to prepare breakfast.
Kinsley had hardly eaten anything in the past few days. Xu Lanxi didn't think that Mu Qingyan really had the ability to make someone in such a bad condition change his mind.
About half an hour later, Kinsley slowly walked out of the room with his better-than-nothing vision and directly rejected Tanaka's offer to help him wipe his hair and feed him breakfast.
"Get the car ready, I need to go out."
"this..."
Tanaka hesitated, then turned on the news before the young master lost his temper.
"Iceland is experiencing a devastating snowstorm, one of the heaviest in a decade. Traffic throughout Reykjavik has been paralyzed. Repairs are underway. Residents and tourists are advised to heed safety warnings and refrain from wandering around."
"Sir, the hotel has been completely closed. The manager just came to inform you that you may not be able to travel in the next two days..."
Xu Lanxi looked out through the blue gauze curtains. Although the local area was usually covered in white at this time of year, it was far from the point where alert was needed.
For some reason, she instinctively looked at Mu Qingyan. The latter seemed to sense something, and his flying fingers stopped and he slowly put away his phone.
"Kinsley." Mu Qingyan went to pull someone's hand, "Eat something first, then go to sleep. You need a good rest."
"I don't need it." Very decisive.
"Is that so... Then..." Mu Qingyan's voice weakened, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Mr. Tanaka, please take the breakfast away..."
"But Miss Mu, you flew for such a long time before arriving, didn't you also—"
"It's okay, I won't eat it yet. I'll eat it later--"
"Tanaka."
Before Mu Qingyan even finished speaking, the injured soldier who had been resisting eating recently changed his mind.
The butler looked as if he had expected it and carefully set the table for everyone.
Xu Chenxi was stunned. He sat in a corner of the sofa holding a piece of bread, not daring to say a word.
The strange atmosphere made the breakfast extremely awkward.
Mu Qingyan knew what was going on, but even if she succeeded in achieving her goal, she could see that Kinsley, who was sitting opposite her, looked bored.
A tiny bit of the exquisite pastry was bitten, but the man frowned and didn't swallow it for a long time.
She really couldn't bear to push him any further.
"Kinsley...Okay, give me that. If you can't eat it, forget it. It's okay, okay?"
Almost like the tone of someone coaxing a child.
But Kinsley didn't know what was touched, as if his appetite suddenly increased, he stuffed the cake into his mouth:
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Miss Mu. You probably have other things to do here, so there's no need to waste your time here."
He looked carefree and natural, but there was still a hint of resentment in his tone.
Mu Qingyan heard it, so she replied to him with regret:
"Well...but I came here alone, and I'm afraid the hotel won't let me leave at this time..."
"you..."
The young master couldn't refute what he heard, and his pale face finally showed some color, and he looked a little more lively.
Mu Qingyan continued to remain calm, but Kinsley's always straightforward emotional expression made her chuckle in her heart.
But soon, the atmosphere, which had just become somewhat harmonious, became tense again.
The person opposite suddenly looked painful, and the next second, he rushed into the bathroom, covering his mouth.
Tanaka stopped the two young ladies of the Xu family who wanted to follow in as quickly as possible, giving the somewhat stunned Mu Qingyan time to react.
The figure in front of her, hunched over and almost about to vomit her stomach, instantly made her feel the same pain.
Fortunately, she still had a bit of rationality left, and with trembling hands, she took out the emetic from the first aid kit.
"Kinsley...drink it...be good...that's right..."
"vomit--"
The body under his palm was shaking constantly and almost unable to stand. Mu Qingyan looked at Kinsley, who still couldn't vomit anything under the drug, and his hands lost strength. They both fell to the marble floor.
