Tick-tick-tick-

Time in the VIP room seemed to be frozen, with only the hands of the antique clock on the wall swinging tirelessly and making regular sounds.

Xia Yue and Su Xue were sitting on beautifully decorated chairs. The table in front of them was filled with a variety of exquisite desserts. Each one was like a carefully carved work of art, exuding an alluring luster and aroma.

However, the abnormal Xia Yue's thoughts were obviously not on this dessert.

Her gaze seemed very hollow, as if penetrating these exquisite snacks, staring at a place that only she could see.

Those desserts, although mouth-watering, failed to arouse her appetite.

Her silence and alienation were in sharp contrast to the warm afternoon tea atmosphere.

Su Xue naturally felt Xia Yue's mood swings. She knew that Xia Yue wouldn't care about the rumors against her at all, if she hadn't met Li Muhan.

She may choose to bear those infamy and continue to live a seemingly leisurely but meaningless life in the Special Administration Bureau.

But now, this sharp sword called rumor is pointed at Li Muhan, so she must come back, to this place full of unpleasant memories, and this is entirely out of love for Li Muhan.

Thinking of this, Su Xue thought secretly in her heart. She didn't know whether she should envy Li Muhan or Xia Yue, because in her opinion, the two of them seemed to never find a soul that was as compatible as each other.

Maybe the two of them will never be able to find such a spiritual connection as each other.

Just like the clothes I'm wearing...

It fit so well, as if it was born to fit her temperament.

This is not about price, but about an indescribable fit, a uniqueness that belongs only to you.

Su Xue couldn't help but sigh. She had always wanted to be strong, but this time she didn't even have the slightest intention to fight for it.

She understands that some things cannot be forced, just like the love between Xia Yue and Li Muhan, it is fate and their mutual choice.

And she may just be waiting for the person who can make her heart match to appear, just like those clothes that are still in the design draft stage, quietly waiting for its owner.

She whispered to Xia Yue: "Xia Yue, go to the lounge with Li Muhan. I will take care of it here."

Xia Yue shook her head lightly, her voice low and firm: "No..."

"Li Muhan said that there are some things that you cannot escape, especially your past. If you can't face your past with a straight chest, then you won't be able to walk with peace of mind in the future." Xia Yue's words revealed A resilience despite the pain and struggle in her heart.

Su Xue smiled slightly, her eyes full of understanding and support: "Well...brother Mu Han occasionally speaks a few human words."

At this moment, the door of the VIP room was gently pushed open, breaking the tranquility in the room. Xia Yue and Su Xue turned their eyes to the door at the same time, expecting to see Xia Ke.

However, it was Li Muhan and his party who appeared at the door. They were led into the VIP room by the maid named Lu Keke.

"Miss Su...Miss Xia Yue, I'm sorry to disturb you..."

Lu Keke seemed a little afraid of Su Xue. She timidly raised her skirts and saluted them, and then immediately stepped aside.

As soon as Xia Yue saw Li Muhan, her tense nerves instantly relaxed.

She almost ran to Li Muhan and hugged him, as if in this embrace, she could find the long-lost sense of security and tranquility.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone. Isn't it difficult?"

Li Muhan gently comforted Xia Yue, his palms caressing her back, conveying warmth and strength.

Xia Yue didn't speak. She just buried her head in Li Muhan's chest and hugged him tightly, as if at this moment, she finally returned to the harbor she could rely on.

Seeing this scene, Lu Keke finally believed that Xia Yue, who seemed to be extremely indifferent to everything, had really found his destiny.

A trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and she was also sincerely happy for Xia Yue.

"Oh! So many delicious foods! We can't eat anything there except 035 second-hand smoke!"

Lin Ziyu couldn't help but exclaimed as soon as he entered the door.

His stomach made a "gurgling" sound at the right time, and he was obviously too hungry to bear it.

Facing the dazzling array of desserts in front of him, Lin Ziyu's appetite was completely aroused, and he immediately rushed to the table, ready to feast.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense~ I haven't started smoking yet. If you want to smell secondhand smoke, I'll let you smell it in the car later~"

035 responded with a hint of joking.

She walked to the table with light steps and glanced at the various desserts. Although as a bionic person, she did not need to eat, she could not help but shake her head and sigh in front of these exquisite delicacies.

"We're not really here as guests."

Yin Qi's voice broke the relaxation, and she reminded everyone coldly.

There was a hint of seriousness in her tone, reminding everyone present of the true purpose of their trip.

Li Muhan nodded, indicating that he understood Yin Qi's reminder. Xia Yue also got out of his arms. There was still a trace of dependence on her face, but her eyes had returned to clarity.

"Where's Xia Ke?" Li Muhan scanned the VIP room and found no trace of the host, so he looked at Su Xue with a hint of curiosity.

"I'm very sorry... The eldest lady rarely leaves the room, so she should be cleaning herself up now..." Lu Keke said to Li Muhan apologetically, with a hint of helplessness in her voice, As if it was her fault for causing this situation.

"This young lady is still a homebody."

Li Muhan looked at Xia Yue with a smile, with a hint of joking in his tone: "Is your sister easy to get along with?"

"Yes." Xia Yue nodded heavily: "Although Xia Ke can't leave the wheelchair, she is very strong and does everything herself, and she is really a very kind person. Even if I am particularly cold towards her, she still She comes to talk to me every day and gives me food, so she is a good person.”

The key is to give you food...

Everyone present complained silently in their hearts.

At this time, the door slowly opened, and a strange atmosphere quietly filled the VIP room with a cold breath.

A girl with smooth hair and an off-white dress appeared at the door.

She was sitting in a wheelchair and was slowly pushed forward by the head maid.

The girl's figure looked extremely thin in the wheelchair. Her figure was so thin that it could almost be described as "skinny", as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent and clung to her prominent cheekbones, making her eyes look even larger and hollow, giving people an unreal feeling.

The moment she saw this girl, Xia Yue was stunned.

Because the appearance of this girl in a wheelchair was the same as the Xia Ke in Xia Yue's memory. However, the aura emanating from her made Xia Yue feel an indescribable sense of dissonance.

The girl's eyes were empty and distant, as if there was another soul living in her body.

There was a smile on her lips, but there was a sickly twist in that smile that made people shudder.

Her fingers gently touched the armrests of the wheelchair. The armrests were carved with intricate patterns, as if they were hiding unknown secrets.

"Welcome home, Xia Yue."

Xia Ke's eyes slowly moved towards Xia Yue. Her voice was soft and hollow, and every word seemed to come from a distant place with echoes.

Xia Yue's face turned pale instantly. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the girl with a sweet smile who always looked forward to the sunshine no matter what setbacks she encountered.

The sworn sister had changed so much that Xia Yue felt deeply surprised and afraid.

An uneasiness surged in her heart, and the moment she met the girl's eyes, she felt as if she was standing on the edge of a bottomless black hole.

"Xia Ke...how did you...get so thin?" Xia Yue's voice trembled, and her eyes were full of uncertainty and worry.

Xia Ke's head tilted slightly, and there was no light in her eyes: "Because I'm sick, little fool, my sister is sick, Xia Yue, I miss you so much, you don't know... I have I want to see you so much..."

After listening to the girl's words, Xia Yue felt a surge of complex emotions in her heart. She felt that there was another meaning hidden in Xia Ke's words, but she couldn't determine what it was.

Li Muhan's brows furrowed, and he felt a sense of violation.

There is nothing alien about this woman, she should be human.

But the strange thing is that she doesn't have much breath of life either.

The person sitting in the wheelchair now seems to be a talking corpse... Her movements, eyes and words all seem to have their own thoughts.

The word "appearance is incompatible but yet separate" can now perfectly describe this woman's state.
