Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

In the darkness, a figure quietly lifted the curtain of the tent. Bai Mumu was startled and instantly alert. However, when she saw the person clearly in the weak light of the fire, she was stunned.

The person who came was actually Xie Yuchen. He lowered his head slightly with a complicated expression.

Bai Mumu frowned and asked softly, "Xiaohua, why are you here?"

Xie Yuchen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Mu Mu, there is something I want to tell you."

Bai Mumu sat up slightly, looked at Xie Yuchen, and waited for him to continue.

Xie Yuchen took a deep breath and said, "We've been through so much along the way. I think you should be able to feel my feelings for you. I know the situation is complicated now, and many people... have different feelings for you. But I don't want to hide my feelings anymore, and none of us will mind each other's existence."

Xie Yuchen continued, "Mu Mu, I don't want to give up because of Second Master's attitude or other people's actions. I hope you can seriously consider it and give me a chance." After that, he looked at Bai Mu Mu quietly, his eyes full of expectation and uneasiness.

Bai Mumu's heart moved, not knowing how to respond. Another reason why she didn't accept them was that she was afraid that she would return to her own world after completing the mission, and what would they do then.

Bai Mumu's lack of response made Xie Yuchen very disappointed. He lowered his eyes slightly to hide the sadness in them. Silence spread between the two of them, and the atmosphere became a little heavy.

Xie Yuchen sighed softly and said, "I know this is very sudden and you may need time to think about it. It's okay, I can wait."

He paused and continued, "No matter what the future holds, I hope you know that my feelings are sincere." Then he turned and prepared to leave the tent.

Just when Xie Yuchen was about to walk out of the tent, Bai Mumu suddenly said, "Xiaohua, wait a minute."

Xie Yuchen stopped and looked at Bai Mumu expectantly. Bai Mumu bit her lip and said, "It's not that I don't want to respond to you, but... I have my concerns."

Xie Yuchen frowned slightly and asked, "What are you worried about? Can you tell me?"

Bai Mumu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to be honest. She said slowly: "If, I mean if...if one day I suddenly leave, then what will you do?"

Xie Yuchen was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Bai Mumu to have such an answer. He pondered for a moment and said, "Although I don't know why you said that, I want to tell you that if that day really comes, we will respect your choice. But before that, why don't you face your current feelings bravely?"

Bai Mumu's heart was filled with ripples. She looked at Xie Yuchen's determined eyes, and her hesitation became stronger. "Can you really accept... that I might leave at any time?"

Xie Yuchen nodded slightly, his eyes full of sincerity. "I can accept it. The future is full of unknowns, and we can't control everything. But at least at this moment, we can face our feelings bravely. I don't want to miss you because of the fear of the unknown."

Bai Mumu was silent for a moment, with mixed feelings in her heart. She had never thought that Xie Yuchen would be so determined to face this uncertain relationship. "But, I'm afraid I will hurt you."

Xie Yuchen walked gently to Bai Mumu and held her hand. "Don't be afraid. We have all experienced countless hardships. No matter what the future holds, we will face it together."

Bai Mumu felt the warmth in Xie Yuchen's hands, and the defenses in her heart gradually loosened. She knew that she might not be able to escape this feeling anymore. "Xiaohua, I... I don't know what to say."

Xie Yuchen smiled gently. "You don't have to say anything. Just know that I will always be by your side."

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the tent. Hei Xiazi directly opened the tent curtain and walked into the tent casually. He looked at the two people and said, "What's the matter? Am I disturbing you? But then again, wife, you can't favor one over the other. You have to give me a chance, right?"

Xie Yuchen's face darkened and he said, "Hei Xia Zi, could you please stop making trouble?" Hei Xia Zi shrugged and said, "I'm not making trouble. I mean it sincerely. Besides, didn't you just say that you don't mind each other's existence?"

Xie Yuchen glared at him viciously. Seeing Hei Xiazi's scoundrel look, he really wanted to sew his stinky mouth shut.

Bai Mumu said helplessly: "Can you please stop making trouble? My mind is in a mess now."

Hei Xiazi chuckled and said, "Okay, then we won't make a fuss. But wife, you have to think about it carefully. We are all waiting for you. Don't let me stay alone in the empty room for too long."

Bai Mumu's face turned red after hearing Hei Xiazi's frivolous words. She said angrily, "Hei Xiazi, if you keep talking nonsense, I will..."

"What's wrong with you?" Hei Xiazi came closer with a smile, his eyes full of teasing.

Xie Yuchen couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he pulled Hei Xia Zi away and said, "Hei Xia Zi, stop it. Now is not the time for you to mess around."

But Hei Xia Zi still didn't care, "Hua Er Ye, why are you so nervous? I'm just fighting for my own happiness."

Bai Mumu watched the two quarreling, and she felt even more upset. She stood up and said, "You all go out, and leave me alone."

Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi looked at each other. Although they were somewhat reluctant, they also knew that they could not force Bai Mumu at this time.

Xie Yuchen said softly: "Okay, then think about it carefully. We'll wait for your answer." Hei Xiazi also put away his playful expression and nodded.

After the two walked out of the tent, Bai Mumu sat back on the bed, her mind in a mess. She knew that she had special feelings for both of them, but the uncertainty of the future made her dare not take that step easily.

Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi were standing outside the tent, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Xie Yuchen looked at Hei Xiazi coldly, "You'd better restrain yourself and don't mess things up."

Hei Xia Zi shrugged, "Don't worry, Master Huaer. I know my limits."

They all understood that Bai Mumu's decision would affect their future. In the tent not far away, Wu Xie was also struggling with Bai Mumu's situation. He had just heard their conversation not far away, and he was not sure what choice Mumu would make. He could only pray silently that she would make a decision that everyone could accept...

The next day, sunlight shone through the cracks in the tent, awakening Bai Mumu who was still deep in thought. She rubbed her swollen head and slowly got up.

Walking out of the tent, Bai Mumu saw that everyone had already started busying themselves with packing up the camp and preparing to return.

Wu Xie saw Bai Mumu, and a trace of concern flashed in his eyes, but he didn't know how to start. Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi also looked at her at the same time, with both expectation and anxiety in their eyes.

Wu Erbai was still commanding everyone with a serious expression. After seeing Bai Mumu, he nodded slightly.
