The scene in the sky did not end with Qian Xiaosheng's heartbreak.
Instead, it was as if time had reversed, and the scene began to flash backwards at high speed.
The rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the light returned to its bright state.
I returned to that gloomy afternoon before it started to rain.
At Xia Chun Square.
The blurry-looking man brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, stood up, glanced at the gloomy sky, and then strode towards the street.
Just then, a pink figure, as if it had been waiting nearby, immediately approached.
It was Mu Xiaoyan.
She had her hands behind her back, leaned slightly forward, and wore a sweet and innocent smile.
"Where are you going, brother?"
The blurry-looking man didn't stop walking, only replying casually, "Just browsing."
There was no enthusiasm in his tone.
But this did not deter Mu Xiaoyan. On the contrary, she seemed to have received permission, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.
"I see!"
"I know this street really well! Is there anything you'd like to buy, brother?"
As she spoke, she followed the blurry man to his side.
"The clothes in this store are made of very good fabric..."
"The cookie shop over there may be small, but the taste is very authentic..."
Along the way, Mu Xiaoyan kept chattering, introducing the surrounding shops and streets.
It was as if the two were very close friends.
Upon seeing this, viewers across the mainland were initially stunned, and then began to discuss it animatedly.
Good heavens!
"No wonder he wasn't in the square when it rained earlier; he was out shopping with another girl?"
"Then go back to her after shopping? Pshaw!"
Many female Soul Masters who were just moved by the scene of the two in the rain now spat out their words.
However, the blurry man in the picture doesn't seem to be doing anything.
As he walked, he suddenly spoke without warning, asking a casual question:
"Mu Xiaoyan, are you Jiangzhu's friend?"
Mu Xiaoyan, who was racking her brains for a topic that could pique the other person's interest, was clearly taken aback for a moment.
This was the first time in days that this aloof man had taken the initiative to ask her a question!
Mu Xiaoyan then gave a joyful yet innocent smile and nodded vigorously.
Yes!
Seemingly to verify their relationship, she began to recount their past at length.
"Jiangzhu and I both come from commoner backgrounds. When we first came to the academy, we didn't know anything."
"Some of the aristocratic male students are really bad; they often bully us commoners who have no background."
Mu Xiaoyan sighed, a look of reminiscence on her face.
"Once, after being bullied by several noble students, Jiangzhu hid in a corner and secretly wiped away her tears."
"I happened to be passing by and saw her, so I went to comfort her, and we became friends from then on."
"actually..."
"I had just been bullied at the time."
At this point, Mu Xiaoyan gave a forced smile and glanced at the blurry man.
Seeing that he didn't interrupt, she continued, a hint of envy in her voice:
"Jiangzhu is talented, beautiful, and very gentle to everyone."
"No matter who is in trouble, she will always be the first to lend a helping hand."
"So..."
Mu Xiaoyan paused for a moment, then said meaningfully.
"Many male students in the academy are pursuing her, and quite a few even give her gifts."
"She never rejected the boys' advances."
"ah..."
Mu Xiaoyan seemed to suddenly realize that she had said too much, so she quickly covered her mouth and secretly glanced at the blurry man.
At this point, the blurry-looking man remained silent and made no comment.
Walking calmly, as if listening to one passerby talk about another.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyan smiled cautiously, her voice becoming low.
"Um... Brother, please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it."
"After all, I don't think it's a bad thing for a girl to want to be liked by many people."
"Unlike me..."
She lowered her head, looking at her toes, her voice filled with loneliness.
"I always lack confidence and feel that I am not good enough."
"Even the boys who were usually close to me abandoned them after they met Jiangzhu and started going to see her often…"
As she said this, she raised her head, revealing a pair of large, watery eyes, and looked pitifully at the blurry man.
His eyes held a mixture of three parts grievance, three parts envy, and four parts a vulnerable longing to be protected.
Absolutely amazing!
Even the most straight man would probably feel a protective instinct upon seeing a girl like this.
"I'm sorry, brother..."
She sniffed, and gave a bittersweet laugh.
"Why am I complaining to myself..."
"Maybe I was too envious of her. In the end... I was all alone wherever I went."
If these words were heard by a man of low caliber, it would sound like: Jiangzhu is a heartbreaker, flirting with everyone!
I, Mu Xiaoyan, am a naive and pitiful innocent girl who is neglected by other.
The Dark Night Duel Arena, Top Floor Room.
"That's awful! That woman is so wicked!"
DouDou pouted angrily and poked Qin Chen's cheek with her finger.
"What happened? What happened?"
"Can't you tell she's a scheming woman? She's talking badly about Sister Jiangzhu!"
Hua Xi, pouting, nestled in Qin Chen's arms, nodding her little head vigorously like a pestle being pounded.
"Exactly! Master is a big idiot!"
Even the mature and charming Liu Erlong narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, looking at Qin Chen with a half-smile.
"Xiao Chen, could it be that you were really infatuated with this little girl back then?"
"I can smell the aroma of this tea even through the sky."
Zhu Zhuqing, the other half, crossed her arms, her cold and beautiful face full of displeasure.
How dare this woman play such petty tricks in front of the king? Does she think the king is stupid?!
Qin Chen smiled helplessly, letting them touch him however they wanted.
"I'm innocent!"
"I haven't even started saying anything yet, is it wrong to just walk quietlyal
Duel Arena & Treatment Room.
Jiangzhu stood by the window, staring at the scene on the sky, completely stunned, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.
She was unaware of this.
Back then, she always thought that Mu Xiaoyan genuinely considered her a friend.
"So... that's how she sees me?"
Jiangzhu leaned forward slightly, her fingers gripping the windowsill railing tightly.
Those so-called suitors were clearly just people who kept pestering her for treatment...
I don't have any suitors at all...
The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's Hall.
Qian Renxue watched Mu Xiaoyan's clumsy performance on the screen.
"Oh."
She let out a disdainful sneer.
"Playing mind games in front of Qin Chen?"
Qian Renxue knows Qin Chen too well. This man may seem gentle, but he is actually very insightful and extremely rational!
"If he were so easily fooled, I would have won him over long ago. Why would it be your turn?"
In the picture.
The blurry-looking man continued walking calmly, his pace unchanged.
The blurry face seemed devoid of any emotion.
Ten seconds or so passed.
He spoke again, calmly, and asked:
"Mu Xiaoyan, are you Jiangzhu's friend?"
The exact same problem.
Even the tone of voice didn't change at all.
This repeated question left those watching the sky screen on the mainland somewhat bewildered.
Even Mu Xiaoyan, the person involved, was stunned for a moment.
"Why?"
Mu Xiaoyan's expression froze for a moment.
What's going on?
Did she not hear me clearly?
Or is it that... all the groundwork I laid out just now went unheeded?
A flicker of panic crossed Mu Xiaoyan's mind, but she quickly composed herself.
She nodded again, forcing a sweet smile onto her face.
"Yes...yes."
