Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

As night fell, the lights flickered in the courtyard. Everyone sat together, with wine and food on the table. The atmosphere became a little subtle at this moment, with tension about the upcoming unknown challenges and a brief relaxation of being together at this moment.

Wu Xie raised his glass and said softly, "This time, the future is uncertain, but since we have come this far, we can only go all out. Come, everyone, let's drink a glass to our courage and our beliefs."

Everyone raised their glasses, and the crisp clinking sounds echoed in the night sky.

Xie Yuchen took a sip of wine and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Although Qiu Dekao agreed to follow orders, he is a shrewd man after all. You still have to be more careful."

Bai Mumu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xiaohua, after we enter the Zhang family's ancient building, we will always keep an eye on his movements and won't let him take advantage of any opportunity."

The fat man picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. "Who cares about Jude Kao? We'll just treat him as an extra pathfinder. Once we get into the Zhang family's ancient building, we'll show off our abilities. I don't believe anything can stump us."

Hei Xiazi laughed and teased, "Fatty, don't underestimate the Zhang Family's ancient building. That place is very evil. But with Brother here, it's not a big problem."

The young man remained silent, but his cold eyes seemed even deeper under the light.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone started talking more. Wu Xie looked at everyone and said with emotion: "We have been through so much along the way. But every time as long as we work together, we can always turn danger into safety. I hope this time will be no exception."

Xie Yuchen nodded slightly: "Yes, although this operation is full of dangers, we have each other. As long as we unite, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome."

Bai Mumu looked at the bright moon in the sky, feeling a little uneasy: "I wonder if we can still sit together and drink and chat like we do now after we leave."

Xie Yuchen held Bai Mumu's hand and said softly, "Mumu, don't worry. We will definitely come back safely."

The fat man patted his chest and said, "That's right. We have seen all kinds of situations. Can the Zhang Family Ancient Building really eat us up?"

However, despite their confident words, they all knew in their hearts that this journey would be full of difficulties and obstacles. But they had no way out and could only move forward courageously.

As the night grew deeper, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Bai Mumu looked at Wu Xie who was following behind him and asked helplessly, "Why are you following me instead of going back to your room?"

Wu Xie scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and responded: "I really couldn't sleep, so I wanted to talk to you."

Bai Mumu looked at Wu Xie like this and couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Okay, then what do you want to say?"

Wu Xie lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Can I... go in and talk?"

Bai Mumu looked at Wu Xie's cautious appearance, sighed helplessly, and moved aside to make room for the door.

A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Wu Xie's face, and he hurried into the room.

In the room, Bai Mumu casually pulled over a chair and sat down. Looking at Wu Xie who was still standing, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Sit down. Don't you have something to say?"

Wu Xie sat down as he was told, but he seemed a little uneasy. He encouraged himself in his heart and finally spoke out what he had buried for a long time. "Mu Mu, I like you, very very much. I know this operation is very dangerous, and that's why I don't want to leave any regrets. I like you, and no matter what happens in the future, I hope you can know my feelings. Can you give me a chance?"

Bai Mumu was silent for a long time, so long that Wu Xie's heart gradually sank. Just when Wu Xie thought he was going to be rejected, Bai Mumu slowly raised his head, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I can't accept you."

The joy on Wu Xie's face disappeared instantly, replaced by full of disappointment and frustration. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, just staring at Bai Mumu blankly.

Bai Mumu felt sorry for Wu Xie, but she knew she couldn't be soft-hearted. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Wu Xie, you're very good, really very good. But I already have Xiao Hua and the others, so I can't accept you anymore. You will definitely meet someone more suitable for you in the future."

With a "click", Wu Xie's tears fell, splashing small drops of water on the ground. His eyes were full of pain and disbelief, as if he couldn't accept this sudden rejection.

"Why?" Wu Xie's voice was hoarse and filled with endless sadness. "You can accept all three of them, why can't you give me a chance? Am I not good enough?"

Wu Xie cried very sadly, but his eyes were still looking at her stubbornly. Bai Mumu felt bitter when she saw Wu Xie so sad. She turned her head away slightly and tried to keep her voice calm.

"Wu Xie, it's not that you are a bad person. It's just that my heart can no longer accommodate more people. This is unfair to both you and them."

Wu Xie shook his head, tears still flowing. He stood up, hugged Bai Mumu's petite body, buried his head in her neck, and said in a choked voice: "Mumu, I really like you, so much. I know that I may not be good enough now, but I will work hard to be better. Please don't abandon me, okay?"

Hot tears flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto her neck. Bai Mumu's body stiffened slightly because of the heat. She could feel Wu Xie's pain and despair, and the reluctance in her heart became stronger. But she knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted and couldn't give Wu Xie false hope.

She gently pushed Wu Xie, her voice gentle but firm: "Wu Xie, let go. I can't return your feelings, it's unfair to you. You deserve someone better, someone who loves you wholeheartedly."

Wu Xie hugged her tightly, refusing to let go, his voice trembling: "No, I only want you. I don't want anyone else except you. Why, why are you so cruel? I can feel that you are not without feelings for me, why don't you accept me?"

At this moment, Wu Xie was like a puppy abandoned by his owner, helpless and pitiful.

However, Wu Xie still held her tightly, as if she would disappear in an instant if he let go. "Then if you promise me that you will never abandon me, I won't cry."

Bai Mumu was slightly stunned. She knew that she couldn't easily agree to it, but seeing Wu Xie like this, she couldn't bear it. She sighed softly and said slowly: "Wu Xie, I can't promise you. But I promise you that no matter what happens, we are friends. I will not disappear from your sight easily. As long as you need me, I will do my best to help you."
