After being tagged by a rival

At that moment, Qi Musi almost couldn't control the change of his expression, let alone the sudden acceleration of his heart.She slowly held her fingertips, her eyes darkened.

Qi Musi still remembered the question that day, and Xie Rong's behavior at that time coincided with what she said now.

In other words... Xie Rong may not really have a liking for Zhuang Xinbai, but misunderstood some other emotion as liking.

It was very similar to her situation at the time.

Since Xie Rong doesn't like Zhuang Xinbai's feelings, it means that Qi Musi still has a chance.

It's not just an opportunity to pursue people, but also an opportunity to draw Xie Rong's emotions and attention back to himself.

Thinking of this, Qi Musi paused.

She restrained herself and took a deep breath, then asked softly: "That is to say, you actually don't like Zhuang Xinbai?"

Xie Rong nodded without denying it. "Perhaps so."

Hearing this answer, the joy and excitement in Qi Musi's heart could no longer be controlled, and she ran off the track as if she had completely let herself go.

She closed her eyes to conceal the change of emotion in her eyes.

If this is the case, does it mean that her suggestion can be accelerated a step?

After all, Qi Musi is really not a person who can bear it.

She couldn't be like Xie Rong, who chose to protect Zhuang Xinbai silently when she thought she liked Zhuang Xinbai. If it wasn't for her appearance, Xie Rong would not have confessed easily so far.

Qi Musi is not such a character.

If she likes someone, she will definitely let the other party know, and she will pay for the pursuit, use the burning love to influence the other party, and let the other party's eyes stay on her.

It was because Xie Rong was the only and only special case, so Qi Musi had to tie his hands and wait for the opportunity.

But now, she couldn't restrain herself anymore.

Qi Mu thought, this winter vacation, she wants to find Xie Rong, wants to live with him, and wants to let him know...she likes her.

Xie Rong poured water and went back into the house. She closed the balcony door and got ready to go to bed.

After all, today is a rare and relaxing day. I don't need to review or worry about the next day's situation. I can finally sleep well.

Qi Musi was still sitting below, it seemed that she hadn't moved since the topic just now.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the phone, but she looked absent-minded, as if she was thinking about something.

Xie Rong just looked at her, then looked away, without intending to say anything more.

Before Xie Rong went to bed, Qi Musi called to stop her.

"Little Velvet..."

Xie Rong looked back at her, and stared at Qi Musi with clear black eyes.

Qi Musi paused for a moment, and the words that she didn't know how to test were even more difficult to utter. After a pause, she changed the question: "Are you sleeping now?"

Xie Rong said: "Don't sleep yet, lie on the bed and check your phone."

Qi Musi paused, then bent her lips and smiled, "Alright, then I'll go to bed too."

Xie Rong nodded and said nothing.

When Xie Rong was lying on the bed, he didn't take out his phone right away, but by the light of the phone, he lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

She was thinking about Qi Musi and the attitude he showed just now.

Xie Rong frowned slightly, tapped his fingers on the back of the phone, and recalled all the things since the mark so far, especially the contact with Qi Musi in the hot spring.

Thinking of hot springs, Xie Rong uncontrollably recalled the face of Qi Musi that he saw close up when he opened his eyes that day.

With a very peaceful and soft, it is completely different from the delicate and flamboyant when the eyes are opened, but with a soft gentleness.That was also the first time Xie Rong discovered that an alpha could actually look so good-looking.

That seemed to be the first time that Xie Rong really "saw" Qi Musi's face.

Thinking of this, her eyelashes drooped, and some shadows fainted under her eyelids.

After realizing that his thoughts were running away, Xie Rong restrained his thoughts, and then recalled what happened today.

Then, she frowned slightly.

Qi Musi...

Xie Rong was sure that Qi Musi probably didn't like Zhuang Xinbai anymore, or that she had long since lost interest in pursuing Zhuang Xinbai.

Then the other party's performance today was not for Zhuang Xinbai.

If it's not for Zhuang Xinbai, it's for her.

Thinking of this, Xie Rong froze while holding the phone.

Those uncontrollable memories flooded into her mind again.

Qi Musi's scorching breath, the temperature of her back pressed against her, her forbearing and thick dark eyes looking over her, and her toughness and determination to bite off the mark regardless of her being an alpha at all.

Xie Rong couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Could it be that Qi Musi... is what she guessed?

Xie Rong knew that such a guess was too shocking and narcissistic, and she herself didn't want to guess like this.But the other party's recent attitude and what he has done are like a feather sweeping across her back from time to time, as if harassing her, making her feel itchy and unbearable, but at the same time making her have to care.

Xie Rong's suspicion of Qi Musi was not caused by this day, nor was it caused by this one incident.

If you have to get to the bottom of it, it can probably be traced back to that day in the bathroom, when she was held back by Qi Musi, who looked at her with moist eyes, and called out her name again while enduring with difficulty.

Can an alpha in a susceptible period really feel uncomfortable marking another alpha at will?

Xie Rong has never experienced such a thing, but if she was asked to put in the situation and give an answer, she thought, she would not.

She's not gay, so naturally she wouldn't flag an alpha anyway.Qi Musi should be the same.

But the other party...

The tingling and swelling seemed to reappear in the back of the neck.

Xie Rong's eyes became darker.

Qi Musi's behavior doesn't seem to be forced by a physiological reaction to mark her, but rather...

Instead, it was as if he had found an excuse or a breakthrough, and he couldn't wait to hold her back.

Thinking of this, Xie Rong's fingertips trembled.

She didn't let herself think about it anymore, and took back the thoughts that had run out.

If it were normal, Xie Rong would have rejected the behavior that might develop into ambiguity, but for such a thing, before Qi Musi gave a clear answer, Xie Rong could not directly question the other party.

But what if it is true?

Xie Rong asked herself in her heart, what would she do then?

Do you accept it readily and try the taste of being pursued by an alpha, or reprimand and refuse, and stay away from Qi Musi?

Xie Rong found that she couldn't do both.Perhaps this is also the reason why she was unable to judge Qi Musi for a long time.

At this time, Xie Rong inexplicably thought of Qi Musi's face in the dream, and the scene when he wanted to smell the other party's pheromone that day.

Xie Rong paused, pursed his lips, and there was a flash of shame and anger in his eyes.

She closed her eyes, emptying all the emotions that had arisen in her heart at that moment.

Xie Rong knows her sexual orientation, she won't be interested in alpha, no.

Qi Musi didn't know that Xie Rong had vaguely guessed her thoughts at this moment, and she didn't know what kind of mood swings the other party was under her bed curtain.

She was just thinking about the winter vacation.

At that time... I won't see Xie Rong for a long time.

Qi Musi wasn't clingy at first, but if she was placed in an environment where she didn't see Xie Rong for a long time, Qi Musi found that she was so clingy that she didn't want to be separated from Xie Rong for a moment.

Not only could she not see each other, but also because she might have to meet Ms. Zhong and Qi Muyan throughout the winter vacation, Qi Musi hated it from the bottom of her heart.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, it would be better to spend it with people like them.

After a while, Qi Musi asked, "Xiaorong, are you asleep?"

Xie Rong paused, "No."

Qi Musi regained some energy, it was already eleven or twelve o'clock, but she was not sleepy at all.

"Did you stay in City C during Chinese New Year, or did you go back to your hometown?"

Xie Rong still answered her this time: "In City C."

After getting this answer, Qi Musi's heart was eager to move. She thought that maybe she could run out before the New Year's Eve. After all, it was only the next door city, and she could just drive there.

Staying in City C with Xie Rong can be regarded as New Year's Eve together.

"City C...is there anything interesting?" Qi Musi asked hesitantly.

In fact, what she wants to ask is not these. She wants to ask where Xie Rong's home is, which schools she has attended and lived in since kindergarten, and whether there is any place in City C that she likes and remembers the most... …

Qi Mu thought too much to understand, and everything was closely related to Xie Rong.

But if she really asked these questions, it might arouse Xie Rong's suspicion.

So Qi Musi had no choice but to give up.

Xie Rong didn't know what Qi Musi wanted to talk about this topic in the middle of the night, but she wasn't sleepy this time, so she simply answered.

After listening to it, Qi Musi let out an "oh", and then asked, "Then...where will you go during the winter vacation?"

I don't know if I can meet by chance.

Xie Rong paused, "I don't play."

Qi Musi: "Huh?"

Xie Rong said, "I don't like coming out."

She understood this point, after all, Xie Rong was like this when he was in school, not to mention that it was so cold outside in winter, which intuitively blocked the possibility of Xie Rong going out.

Thinking of this, Qi Musi felt a little lost.

But such loss was not enough to make her give up.

Xie Rong turned over and put down the phone, probably because Qi Musi had been asking her all the time, and she wanted to reciprocate occasionally, so Xie Rong asked, "What about you? Where are you going during the winter vacation?"

Qi Musi was stunned for a moment, "I... probably won't go anywhere either."

It is also possible that Qi Rong will seize the opportunity to start an internship at the company for a few days.

Perhaps this kind of life is extremely glorious and enjoyable to Qi Muyan, but to Qi Musi, she doesn't like it.

All she wants is to be with the person she likes.

And there is no one she likes in city A.

Maybe it's because the night is too easy to be emotional, or maybe it's because Qi Musi wanted to relax after being bored for a long time. Her eyelashes trembled, and she said, "I don't want to be here, whether it's a holiday or New Year's Eve."

Xie Rong paused, probably did not expect Qi Musi to say that.But soon she figured out the reason behind it, and it was inseparable from the background that Qi Musi had mentioned before.

Qi Musi's voice was soft and low.

"I want to go to City C."
