smile to heart

======================

In a small town inn on the border of Fufeng.

Qi Zhong gently closed the door, carefully held the cool medicine in his hand, turned around, and saw that someone was still busy with paper and pen at the table, he hurriedly said: "Hey, don't write, wipe the medicine first. Now, the red marks on my face will disappear faster..."

Mu Yun raised his hand lightly, stopped him from applying the medicine for himself in the air, and his eyes slowly narrowed: "Okay. This is the sixth wound medicine you applied to me today. It's so cold that I can't even stand it." It's up to you, even if you are injured, everything will be fine."

"Ah?" Qi Zhong was a little surprised, and the overly anxious concern made him confused, "Oh, I forgot..."

He had no choice but to put down the wound medicine, sat beside Mu Yun, and was silent for a while, hesitating for a while, seeing that Mu Yun was still concentrating on writing. respond.

Mu Yun stopped writing, turned his face, and glanced at him lightly from the corner of his eye: "What's wrong?"

The man faltered and said: "Actually, you don't need to contradict Miss Mu Er because of me. I know what you mean. In that scene, you should let me go, maybe you won't make Miss Mu Er angry. , and will not let you have any leisure time..."

"..." Mu Yun lowered his eyes silently, his expression darkened.

The more Qi Zhong said, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the tone of self-blame became worse: "Besides, the things she said were indeed caused by me, especially the thing about my cousin... I'm sorry, Mu Yun, I'm sorry, I'm the one who got you in trouble... ..."

"You..." Mu Yun heard anxiously, and patted his drooping head with pity, frowning in relief, "I don't blame you. Don't blame yourself."

"But...but what should we do now? Second Miss Mu and you are in such a stalemate... If you don't explain clearly in time, how will you face her in the future?"

Mu Yun stopped his hands in embarrassment, and sighed inaudibly.

"I have my own measure in this matter. You just need to relax."

"No!" Qi Zhong suddenly got excited from the disappointment, shook his head and retorted, "You can't deal with this matter in this indifferent way, if this continues, the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper, even if you forgive each other in the future, this heart mark I can't get over it..."

Mu Yun blinked, seeing the sad and caring look in his eyes, he guessed that he had empathized with something and thought of something, couldn't bear it for a while, and hesitated a little in his heart.

He decided to slow down, and gently combed the messy hair under the forehead for the other party, tied it behind the ears, and the strands were very comfortable by his gentle movements.Qi Zhong's timid heart suddenly relaxed a little, and suppressed the choking feeling in his throat.

"Are you... thinking of Sister Yanxiao?"

The gentle question fell on his ears, Qi Zhong was startled suddenly, turned his head quickly, stared at Mu Yun's worried eyes, and for a moment, the sadness and grievance of losing his dear one came to his heart, he wanted to cry uncontrollably, and hung his head The ground was lower, sobbing hoarsely: "I miss her, I miss her so much..."

As expected in his heart, Mu Yun felt a little shy, and understood his suffering, and his comforting voice was softer: "I'm sorry, I made you sad..."

"No, I was ashamed of her, that's why I can't forget it. It's also because of this kind of regret that I have tasted it once, and I don't want you two brothers and sisters to repeat the same mistakes...Mu Yun, can you go back and admit your mistakes? I don't need to enter your house, or appear in your sister's eyes, as long as you can settle your suspicions..."

"Enough." Mu Yun frowned deeper, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and shook his head in distress, "Rather than lose you again, I would rather never go back to that home..."

Qi Zhong's eyes widened, in disbelief: "You, are you still the Mu Yun I know?"

"Why not?"

"Now you are so paranoid and unreasonable..." He lowered his head and said weakly.

After seeing the eavesdropping figure disappear behind the screen, Mu Yun relaxed his mind. Hearing Qi Zhong's evaluation, he laughed angrily: "Oh?"

"Although it's for me, you can't be so arbitrary! If your sister hears, I'm afraid she won't want to see me anymore..."

Hearing this, Mu Yun pursed her lips, nodded and said, "If Sister Yanxiao heard about it, she might feel more at ease and entrust you to my care."

"What? You, you call her sister?"

After listening to him reply clearly, Qi finally realized that when Mu Yun yelled for the first time just now, it wasn't that he had misheard.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Yun looked at him squarely, and said solemnly: "When I was in prison, she was so kind to me, but now that she is dead, and her blood with you is thicker than water, why shouldn't I respect her and respect her?" ?”

"I thought...you all misunderstood her and refused to forgive her. But at the beginning, she had all kinds of difficulties."

Mu Yun lowered his eyes, not wanting him to remember any more, changed the subject, and asked softly: "Then, in the future, can you stop being called Miss Mu..."

Qi Zhong was flattered at the moment, and stammered: "I, I know."

"Heh..." Mu Yun was expecting his reaction, but he didn't expect him to agree so obediently. As if his heart melted in an instant, he kept his expression calm and overjoyed, pretending to be calm and relieved, " Don't worry, one day, she will accept us."

"I hope..." Qi Zhong, who didn't know the truth, fixed his eyes on the corner in bewilderment, and nodded absently.

……

The night is deep, and the crabapple outside the window is fragrant.

Qi Zhong went downstairs to get the lamp wax, then went back to the room, saw that the desk by the window was empty, and then heard the sound of rushing water behind the screen next to him, guessed that the other party was going to take a bath, and didn't make a sound to disturb him.

He held the lamp and re-lit the wick that had just suddenly burned out in the corner of the house, making the simple guest room brighter.The night wind came suddenly, blowing down a few sheets of tissue paper on the desk.

Qi Zhong paused, leaned over to pick it up, and was a little curious in his heart. Mu Yun had been deliberating over the words and sentences on these white papers for a long time these days, and he often stopped writing, not knowing what he was writing. Such a dignified expression.

Is it a letter from home?

Guessing that Mu Yun might have been moved by his persuasion, he mistakenly thought that he had written an apology letter to Mu Yin. Qi finally smiled with relief, and was about to fold the paper and put it back on the desk, but his eyes were lowered, and he inadvertently , he suddenly saw the name appearing on the letter, and was startled by it, his face turned pale.

"What are you looking at?"

Before he read the contents of the letter carefully, Mu Yun came to ask questions behind him.

Qi Zhong frowned unwillingly, squeezed the letter paper tightly, turned around and asked, "What is this?"

"You..." Mu Yun frowned, and his tone was quite serious, "Put the letter away first."

Qi Zhong was inexplicably annoyed: "It's so important? No wonder you've been staying up late these past few nights, writing and writing, so it's..."

"You keep it from me, who are you thinking about?"

"no!"

Mu Yun didn't expect that the name on the letter would stimulate such a big reaction in him, so he quickly stepped forward, took back the letter, and threw it on the side table, his eyes fell on the doors and windows around him one by one, but after hearing the sound of closing the doors and windows a few times, The house was closed, and there were only two people left.

Qi Zhong blinked, feeling strange: "You, why are you closing the doors and windows so tightly?"

Mu Yun approached him lightly, and whispered: "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Qi Zhong hadn't woken up from the fragrance coming to his face, and when he heard such a gentle voice coming to his ears, he couldn't react in time, even the annoyance just now disappeared, and he froze, and was moved by Mu Yun's shoulders to sit in front of the couch .

Then, the bed curtain was slowly put down, Qi Zhong turned pale in surprise, and opened his eyes wide: "You..."

"The only thing I miss is you, no one else. Don't be angry, the night is too short, why worry about those irrelevant people..."

As soon as the words fell, Mu Yun glanced at several nearby lights from the corner of his eyes, and they were all extinguished immediately.Qi Zhong covered his mouth with his sleeve and was unable to utter a sound. He listened to these bewildered words, and he believed them to be true, but at the moment when the lights were turned off, he saw a sneaky figure outside the window, looking like he was running away in a hurry. , suddenly understood everything.

After the peeping in the dark disappeared, Mu Yun loosened the restraint on Qi Zhong, and used his spiritual power to re-light the candles in the house. He was about to get up, but was pulled by Qi Zhong's loose long sleeves, and Yiyi asked, "Where are you going?" ?”

Mu Yun straightened the pure white ribbon at the bottom of his sleeves, and said unnaturally, "I...don't go anywhere, but my clothes are messed up..."

"Uh..." Qi finally let go of his hands at a loss, the ambiguous actions just now really made the two of them entangled, and their appearance was indecent.

"What happened just now? The figure outside the window is..."

Sitting at the low table Qianqian, while arranging the messy papers, Mu Yun said calmly, "As you can see, our words and deeds are all under the prying eyes of those with a heart."

Qi Zhong suddenly realized, and sat beside him, drooping his head in shame: "So just now you deliberately played on the spot to confuse their attention."

"Um……"

Qi Zhong was still puzzled by the doubts in his heart, and asked unwillingly: "Even so, why did you write to Lu Zhiyao? Is it because of the undesired in-laws back then?"

"No! I didn't!" Mu Yun looked back in panic, denying anxiously.

"That's...for what? You lied to me again..." Not daring to ask any more questions, Qi finally looked away sullenly, with a tone of self-pity.

Mu Yun pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, "It's for forming an alliance."

"What, what?" Qi Zhong turned around, feeling even more confused, "Even though Lu Zhiyao has been in power for many years now, the key is that you don't have a single soldier in your hands, so why would he form an alliance with you?"

Mu Yun's eyes sank: "This is not an excuse for me to refute, you misunderstood."

"Ah? I didn't question your words, I just found it unbelievable. After all, our current situation can be described as walking on thin ice..."

Hearing this, Mu Yun knew that he hadn't misunderstood any more, so he felt relieved and relaxed his expression: "Although we have no long-term possessions, the foundation of the Mu family for many years is enough to be the confidence for me to negotiate with Mr. Lu."

"Ang? Are you angry? Didn't your sister say something cruel? How could the Mu family still support you...Could it be that you..."

Talking to himself, Qi Zhong faintly felt the truth swirling in his throat, but he didn't say it after all.

Mu Yun added: "You guessed it right. That day's kindness and righteousness were just acting."

Reminiscent of Lan Shan's assassination and the spies these days, Qi Zhong looked sad and said bitterly: "...I am the one who brought you trouble again,"

Mu Yun couldn't bear him belittled himself so much, and said in relief: "Don't talk nonsense. Acting is something that my second sister and I have been planning for a long time, but there has been no suitable conflict to make the show real. You just happened to be an opportunity that day ...They have long wanted to eradicate the Fufeng clan, and these grievances were not caused by you."

"Actually, I should say thank you first. The second sister's words that day really exceeded my expectations, and it will inevitably hurt your heart... Thank you for your tolerance at the time, so that I can take care of this matter in time, otherwise, the Mu family I will always be under the surveillance of Jiugai Mountain, and any movement will be noticed. Instead of making everyone in Fufeng uncomfortable, it is better to trade our current difficulties for their temporary stability. At this point, I would like to thank you for your company and cooperation. Grace never forsake..."

Every word and every sentence warmed my heart, Qi Zhong was moved when he heard it, shook his head slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Stop it, stop it... Mu Yun."

"It's because I'm ignorant and young, and I can't read your heartfelt in the first place. The one who should say thank you is me. You clearly protected me so much, but I still misunderstood your painstaking efforts because of a letter I didn't read... I'm sorry. "

Mu Yun frowned lightly, he didn't realize for a moment that the heart of each other was too deep, and the atmosphere was too depressing. Originally, he just wanted to tell the truth and reassure the other party.He lowered his eyes, straightened his shoulders heavily, stared at Qi Zhong's slightly red eyes, and said sincerely: "Promise me, from now on, we will never say sorry or thank you to each other. What you are to me, It doesn't have to be like this!"

"..." No longer caring about responding, Qi Zhong wept with joy, and suddenly threw himself into the other party's arms, sniffing the scent of the scent in his robes greedily, and replied in a muffled voice, "From now on, I won't allow you to hide a word from me again, Anything! Do you hear me?"

Mu Yun pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay——"
