"This..." Feng Qishi uttered a word, took a deep breath, and shook his head slightly, "I don't know."
"Why not just knock it over and find out," the wolf demon suggested.
Mu Anxiao listened to the wolf demon's words, glanced at the impatient Mu Xi, and the constantly crying girl. She hesitated, "Your idea is not bad, but if I... just knock it over, he will definitely vent his anger on her." She pointed at the girl.
Feng Qishi said, "That would change things."
Lin Yan heard this and said indifferently, "Then we shouldn't do that."
"..." The wolf demon looked at Feng Qishi and Lin Yan, thinking about his future, and said, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
"...." Mu Anxiao sighed, took half a step back, and wrapped her arms around herself again.
Immediately, Mu Xi lost all patience with the girl, "If you can talk, talk. Can you stop crying and crying like this? It's really annoying."
"Do you love me?" the girl sobbed, looking up at Mu Xi.
Mu Xi looked around, then lowered his head, looking at the girl cautiously, and said, "Some things, I've already said in the room, you..."
"You didn't say you loved me back then either," the girl added.
Mu Xi's eyes flickered, and he sighed, "Do you think... you're worthy?"
"...." The girl was stunned.
Mu Anxiao looked at Mu Xi's irresponsible expression, and listened to their conversation. She clenched her fists, "What a scumbag."
"I think so too. Since he's like that, he should take responsibility," Feng Qishi said lightly.
Mu Anxiao stared intently at Mu Xi, waiting for his reaction.
The wolf demon and Lin Yan exchanged glances, then looked at Feng Qishi, bewildered. The wolf demon asked, "Just going to a room and asking if you love me requires responsibility? This... is too exaggerated."
Throughout his existence, the wolf demon had only wanted to do evil and frame others. In this current life, after experiencing certain events and obtaining Hu Yuan's body, his personality had also undergone tremendous changes. Therefore, what he wanted to do now was to join forces with Mu Anxiao to resolve the troubles that involved him.
He had never considered getting involved in other matters, including romantic relationships.
So, he felt curious and confused by Feng Qishi's words.
Lin Yan also didn't understand what was meant, so he and the wolf demon miraculously stood on the same front line again.
However, for Feng Qishi, some things he had only seen in books and had never truly understood in reality.
And those words were just what he said from a certain perspective. Now, being asked by the wolf demon, he really didn't know how to answer.
"You don't understand," he replied perfunctorily.
"If you explain it to me, then I'll understand."
"I..." Feng Qishi suddenly realized that he might have pretended to understand a bit too much, and he became awkward. "Actually... I don't understand either."
"You don't understand either?"
"Yeah," Feng Qishi averted his gaze.
The wolf demon scoffed, crossed his arms, glanced at Lin Yan, pointed at the two who had fallen silent again, and said, "Let's just watch the show."
"Mm," Lin Yan agreed and also looked at the two of them.
At this moment, Feng Qishi thought, forget it, I'd better not speak.
Meanwhile, Mu Anxiao continued to stare at Mu Xi, who was looking coldly at the girl, without saying a word.
"...." The girl's tears flowed uncontrollably, and she said, "You said you would only marry me. Now... you're lying to me like this. Aren't you afraid I'll tell your secret to your sister?"
"She's just a ten-year-old kid, what does she understand? Unless," Mu Xi stepped forward, cupped the girl's chin, "you tell her about us, and then... she gets worked up and spreads the word. Do you think you'll be the one to suffer, or will I?"
"If that woman finds out, you'll be in trouble," the girl dared not resist easily, so she let Mu Xi cup her chin and said.
Mu Xi smiled, "Let me tell you, she already knows about you."
"What?" The girl's eyes widened.
"I've already made many things clear to her. She said," Mu Xi removed his hand, "a girl like you is not worth her jealousy. Since your chastity is gone, you are destined to be unable to marry in the future. If you beg me, I can help send you to... a brothel. There, you can earn money, and maybe with your looks, you can even find a young master. What do you think?"
"....."
The girl gave her entire heart to Mu Xi. She had even done wicked things she didn't want to do for Mu Xi, and even colluded with her sisters to bully the young Mu Anxiao.
Even now, as young Mu Anxiao was leaving, she was about to be abandoned by Mu Xi. At this moment, she had no room to accept, raised her hand to cover her face, and burst into tears.
Mu Xi said, "Cry. If you've made up your mind, come find me before I leave tomorrow and tell me. I'll have someone send you there."
"You asked me to come here just to say this to me?" The girl wiped the tears from her face forcefully and grabbed Mu Xi's hand, which was holding the food box.
"...." Mu Xi felt the warm tears on the girl's palm and said coldly, "You know, I dislike tears the most."
"I know exactly that, which is why I'm holding you like this, to let you deeply remember the temperature of my tears, and let you know," the girl said, glaring at Mu Xi with her tear-reddened eyes, "how deeply my heart has been wounded by you."
"In my eyes, your tears are just like that of those women, believe..."
"Shut up," the girl roared, glaring at Mu Xi, and said, "Don't worry, I will find you before you leave." With that, she lowered her head and stared at the food box.
Seeing this, Feng Qishi said lightly, "She's not going to snatch the food box, is she?"
"...." Mu Anxiao and the other two were deeply attracted by the scene before them and didn't pay any attention to Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi's expression stiffened. He looked back, waiting for the girl's reaction.
"What are you doing?" Mu Xi asked, looking down at the girl.
The girl said, "This is that woman's exclusive food box, right?" The food boxes in the Mu residence were all uniform, so the girl knew at a glance that this food box did not belong to the Mu residence.
"What does it have to do with you? Let go," Mu Xi said coldly.
"I won't let go," the girl said, and suddenly started snatching the food box with Mu Xi.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao, worried they might bump into her, took a few steps back.
Feng Qishi and the others also retreated with Mu Anxiao, then calmly watched the girl fighting with Mu Xi for the food box.
The wolf demon said, "It's bound to drop."
"The lid is already shaking," Lin Yan said lightly, staring at the tilted food box.
Mu Anxiao remained silent, staring at the food box, curious about what was inside.
Feng Qishi, like Mu Anxiao, became curious about the contents of the food box.
