Chapter 141 I didn't hear a word of this
Youyou sat quietly on the bed, and Mu Xiaoji's words were like a hammer hitting her heart. Her eyes were full of shock, as if the whole world was being rebuilt in front of her.
In her mind, Mu Xiaoji's words kept echoing, and every word was like a sharp sword, piercing her once firm belief.
She never imagined that her understanding of Jiang Chengyu was so wrong.
She thought of the countless times she had spoken harshly to Jiang Chengyu, and those harsh words now came back at her like a boomerang.
She began to doubt herself. Was her feeling for Mu Xiaoji really just selfish possession?
She kept saying that she loved him, but she never really understood him or respected his choices.
Guilt surged over her like a tide, especially when she thought of what Jiang Chengyu had done for Mu Xiaoji.
He ignored his old subordinates and servants and endured great pain to save Mu Xiaoji, but she still wanted to drive him away and even said she wanted to kill him.
Her hands clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms, as if only this kind of pain could slightly alleviate the self-blame in her heart.
She once had the dirty idea of marrying Jiang Chengyu and using him to provoke Mu Xiaoji so as to attract his attention.
She thought again of Mu Xiaoji's words. He had been through so much hardship, his soul was trapped, his life was in danger, and yet she was being willful and foolish beside him, not giving him even the slightest understanding and support.
Her heart was in a vortex of contradictions. She didn't know how to face Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji again, and she didn't know how she should integrate into their world again.
She wanted to make up for the mistakes she had made, but she was afraid that they would not forgive her.
She was also struggling with her feelings for Mu Xiaoji and whether she should continue to persevere.
If she let it go, she didn't know if she could do it; if she continued, she didn't know how to face Jiang Chengyu.
She felt more confused than ever about the future. She didn't know whether her apology would be useful or whether she could be truly accepted by them.
She was afraid to see the indifference in Jiang Chengyu's eyes, and afraid to see the disappointed look in Mu Xiaoji's eyes.
She curled up in the big bed, as if her soul had been sucked out. She was overwhelmed by this extremely complex emotion and couldn't extricate herself.
Mu Xiaoji, leaning on a cane, dragged his heavy steps, as if all the strength had been drained from his body, and staggered towards the bedroom.
With every step he took, his heart was filled with regret and self-blame. Those messy emotions entangled him like silk threads, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Finally arriving in front of the bedroom, he stretched out his slightly trembling hand, gently grasped the doorknob, and opened the door carefully, as if afraid of disturbing something.
The door hinges made a slight creaking sound, which was particularly clear in the silent room.
The little monster was lying quietly on the wide bed, soundly asleep. The faint light shone on him through the cracks in the window, outlining his manly figure and the outline of his responsibility.
Mu Xiaoji slowly approached the bed. His footsteps were very light, like a feather falling.
When his eyes fell on the red and swollen marks on the little monster's cheeks, his eyes were full of heartache.
The red and swollen mark seemed to be branded on his heart, causing him to feel a pang of pain.
Especially the print of his palm, which was particularly red and swollen, clearly imprinted on the fair cheek of the little monster. He couldn't help but think of the chaotic and crazy scene last night.
Last night, when he saw Youyou pouring wine at the little monster, she continued to speak ill of him.
Youyou's behavior completely angered Mu Xiaoji, causing him to lose his mind and go crazy as if he was possessed by a demon.
At that moment, he raised his hand, wanting to teach Youyou a severe lesson.
But unexpectedly, the little monster suddenly rushed out and took the slap for Youyou without hesitation.
The little monster knew him very well. He knew that if this slap landed on Youyou's face, he would be so angry that he would lose his mind.
That force would definitely cause Youyou to suffer serious injuries, and she would probably never be able to see anyone again.
Mu Xiaoji's eyes gradually became moist. He sat down gently on the bed and stretched out his hand to touch the little monster's swollen cheek.
But I was afraid of hurting him, so my hand just hung in the air, my heart was overwhelmed by the tide of guilt.
Youyou sat in the room, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she didn't know how to continue living in this place.
Her heart seemed to be tangled up in countless messy threads, extremely entangled. She took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and walked into the bathroom with a somewhat heavy step.
The self in the mirror had confused and exhausted eyes. She turned on the faucet and let the water wash over her hands. The cold feeling made her a little more sober.
She mechanically picked up the toothbrush and washed slowly, as if she wanted to wash away the entanglement in her heart. After washing, she returned to the room and began to pack her clothes.
Every time she picked up a piece of clothing, her thoughts drifted a little further away, and fragments of memories of her life here kept flashing in her mind.
After packing her clothes, she pulled up her suitcase and walked to the door. Security guard Lao Zhang was standing there on duty. Seeing Youyou like this,
He asked hurriedly: "Miss, where are you going?"
Youyou raised her eyes and said softly, "Lao Zhang, please take me to school!"
Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Miss, have you greeted the young master?"
Youyou frowned and replied with a hint of impatience: "I'm going to school, not running away from home. Why are you so nervous?"
After hearing this, Lao Zhang finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, miss, please wait a moment, I'll drive the car right away." After that, Lao Zhang quickly walked towards the garage.
Soon, security guard Lao Zhang drove out. When another security guard Lao Zhao saw him, he hurriedly opened the door.
Lao Zhang drove the car in front of Youyou, and another security guard, Lao Zhao, walked up, took the suitcase from Youyou, turned around and walked to the trunk of the car and put the suitcase away.
The car started, and the wheels kicked up a cloud of dust. Old Zhao watched the shadow of the car moving further and further away, then pushed the door and slowly closed it.
Youyou sat in the car, staring at the scenery outside the window with empty eyes as it kept receding. However, the thoughts in her mind were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, wandering freely, confused and painful.
Those pictures that once seemed beautiful have now become blurred, leaving only confusion in my heart.
The security car slowly stopped at the school gate. As usual, Coleman was waiting at the school gate early.
He saw Youyou's car stopped and hurried over. Lao Zhang got out of the car and took out the suitcase from the trunk.
Youyou also got out of the car. Her face looked very haggard and she seemed to have lost all her energy.
Seeing Youyou like this, Kelaiweiler asked nervously: "Youyou, what's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with your family?"
Youyou slowly raised her head and looked at Coleville, her eyes empty and confused. After a long while, she slowly spoke: "Mr. Coleville, can you help me arrange a dormitory?"
Without even thinking about it, Coleman replied, "Of course, I'll take you there."
As he spoke, he handed the cup of milk tea in his hand to Youyou, then helped her pick up the suitcase and walked towards the campus with Youyou.
Mu Xiaoji just stared at the little monster quietly and blankly, with complex emotions in his eyes.
At noon, the scorching sun was at its peak, shining unreservedly through the huge glass window, refracting into the bedroom, casting bright spots of light on the ground and walls.
Jiang Chengyu's consciousness gradually awakened from his deep sleep. He let out a long breath, as if to expel all the fatigue in his body, and then slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Mu Xiaoji looking at me quietly, with an indescribable expression in his eyes.
Jiang Chengyu gently moved his dry lips and asked softly, "Are you done talking?"
Mu Xiaoji smiled faintly and replied softly, "Yeah."
Jiang Chengyu then asked: "Is Youyou okay?"
Mu Xiaoji raised his eyebrows and replied, "Better than you."
After hearing this, Jiang Chengyu frowned in confusion and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Mu Xiaoji sighed softly, as if feeling helpless about Youyou's situation.
Then, he reached out his hand and gently stroked Jiang Chengyu's cheek, his eyes full of concern, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Chengyu shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but I didn't expect that you, who are always docile, would suddenly get so angry last night!"
A trace of guilt flashed in Mu Xiaoji's eyes, and he whispered, "It's all my fault that I didn't care enough about Youyou over the years, which is why she has become so arrogant now."
Jiang Chengyu turned his head slightly and looked at the bright sunshine outside the window. He seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Did Youyou take a day off today?"
Mu Xiaoji shook his head and replied, "No, I should go to school by myself now, right?"
Jiang Chengyu frowned and said with some concern: "You...you can be angry, but you can't..."
As he said that, Jiang Chengyu prepared to get up, but as soon as he moved, he felt an unbearable pain in his lumbar spine, and he couldn't help but let out a hiss.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoji said nervously: "If you have pain in your lumbar spine, just take a good rest. Where are you going?"
Jiang Chengyu gritted his teeth, and with the help of Mu Xiaoji's arm strength, he slowly stood up and said:
"I arranged for the security guard to take Youyou to school! I don't know what you talked about with Youyou. Youyou might be in a bad mood."
Mu Xiaoji said quickly: "She wasn't upset. She was very quiet when I came out."
Jiang Chengyu walked slowly towards the door and said, "Then the problem is even more serious. You were upset but didn't say a word, so I kept guessing."
The two of them hurriedly walked towards the hall, one in front and one behind. Security guard Lao Zhang was standing in the hall and saw the two young masters in a hurry.
He hurried forward and said, "Master, I have sent Miss Youyou to school; but..."
Jiang Chengyu immediately asked nervously when he heard it, "But what?"
When security guard Lao Zhang saw the red and swollen marks on Jiang Chengyu's face, he was stunned for a moment, then asked with concern: "Master, your face...?"
Jiang Chengyu subconsciously reached out and touched his face, and said impatiently: "I'm fine, but what?"
Old Zhang came back to his senses and said quickly, "Miss Youyou, she went to school with her suitcase today. I heard her tell Mr. Coleman to arrange a dormitory for her."
After hearing this, Mu Xiaoji couldn't help but mutter, "Silly girl, I told her so much, but she didn't listen to a single word! Lao Zhang, let's go to school now."
Jiang Chengyu heard this and quickly pulled Mu Xiaoji and said, "Xiaoji, I'll go change my clothes later."
After saying that, Jiang Chengyu turned around and walked quickly towards the garden. He didn't want to appear outside with a disheveled face.
