Yet he loved to laugh! While other women would cover and conceal, unwilling to laugh easily or let others see, he was different! As if he had become a man, laughing whenever he wanted!
Unaffected! Yes, exactly that. Because of affectation, other women even when dressed as men couldn't hide their feminine charm, appearing novel at first glance. But he seemed like a man, able to laugh freely and curse heartily...
According to the person's instructions, his task should have been to entangle her, to engage in ambiguous behavior when someone was to arrive.
But watching her continuously spitting blood, frantically wiping her nose; hearing her nonsensical, crazy yet humorous words, he couldn't help but laugh, and a desire to tease her unexpectedly arose in his heart.
His world was ultimately too boring...
So, he improvised a plan for escape, eager to see how this crazy girl would be entertaining!
She truly didn't disappoint him—"If you keep saying... keep talking like this... I'll kill you..."
Severely wounded, her intermittent voice still uttering such words!
Did he like the musician? Well, he wouldn't let her see!
He continued with a coquettish smile, speaking in a seductive voice: "Master, this room is quite small, but master's body is exceptionally delicate, just right for this servant to sit with you."
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him, ignored him, and began examining this "room".
No lamp, not a trace of light.
"What... is this place..."
"This servant guesses, master is in a cage."
"We're in a cage? This... cough cough..."
He hurriedly reached out to pat her back, involuntarily gently reproaching: "Getting anxious won't help, why be so concerned!
Cough, cough…” Xie Qingchen’s face turned red, thinking to himself: Is she paying so much attention to me? Could she have fallen for me? He unconsciously replied: “One most beautiful, one most despicable? Are they just masks? Who doesn’t wear a mask while living? Sometimes, to prevent others from recognizing oneself, whether to avoid enemies or to escape trouble, one doesn’t want to reveal one’s true face or real identity. Sometimes, while looking clean without any instrumental disguise, one has already put on an expression mask to prevent others from seeing one’s true heart… The most authentic mask is often undetectable by others, something that has already merged into one’s bone marrow.”
Mu Xiaoxiao, angered by his tone, spoke with vigor: "But what does disguise have to do with anything? Disguise is merely using some external or internal means to confuse and mislead. However, if one truly pays attention to and understands a person, no amount of disguise can ultimately remain undetected. Disguise is so exhausting and meaningless. How can so many fools love to disguise themselves?"
"Your words... are quite strange..."
"Bang..." A huge sound suddenly erupted overhead, quickly spreading and echoing in every corner, lingering and not fading...
What a beautiful man!
"Bang..." A huge sound suddenly erupted overhead, quickly spreading and echoing in every corner, lingering and not fading...
"Wah... wah... wah..." Mu Xiaoxiao covered her ears and shouted loudly.
"Mu Xiaoxiao! You're already too noisy!" Xie Qingchen was uncomfortable from her piercing sound.
"Hm? You can get angry too? Ugh, it's so dark here, how frustrating!"
Xie Qingchen found it strange: What does my anger have to do with this darkness?
But in the next second, he understood.
A soft, cool sensation like autumn water yet gentle as flower petals touched his face - was this... her hand?
Light suddenly entered, and Mu Xiaoxiao shielded her eyes with one hand, while her other hand remained on the little white pot's face.
Mu Xiaoxiao carefully examined him - exquisite!
Every feature was perfectly proportioned! Especially his lips - small and thin, red and smooth... Ugh, smooth? Ugh, her hand was still on his lips...
"Uh, hey, babe, give me a smile!"
The black-clothed men at the cage entrance, and Xie Qingchen being touched, were all stunned.
Let's first talk about those black-clothed men. After knocking out these two, they had transported them in Zhan Yue Lou's special cage. Now, having just finished lunch, they opened the cage to deliver food to the prisoners.
However, when the black-clothed leader opened the cage and let in light, he saw them touching each other and heard "give me a smile". The leader was momentarily shocked - that pretentious gentleman was touching that pretty boy!
Their master's taste... actually favoring these cut-sleeves, even specifically instructing not to harm them at all...
A moment of light shot into the small space.
Light fragments scattered on Xie Qingchen, his hair edges bathed in a hazy yellow-white soft glow...
Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, then laughed: "You look just like an immortal!"
A hint of disdain flashed in Xie Qingchen's eyes as he smiled with his beautiful eyebrows: "You look really strange!
A Black-clothed man stepped forward and said in a low voice: “Boss, why bother with such trouble? Let Xiao Qing handle it, what do you think?”
Green Snake
The leader of the black-clothed men flashed a vicious smile: “Haha, let Xiao Qing go, Da San, your idea couldn’t be more perfect! Hmph, let’s see how arrogant you can be now!”
Mu Xiaoxiao heard his sinister voice and couldn’t help but shiver. Xie Qingchen instinctively held Mu Xiaoxiao’s hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. Before she could come to her senses, she heard a slight sound, and the next second, there was a cool sensation on her exposed arm, continuously moving.
Mu Xiaoxiao started cursing: “Xie Qingchen, what time is it? You’re still trying to seduce me! Ah… a snake…!” She screamed and threw herself into Xie Qingchen’s arms, her body aching as if falling apart, tears continuously streaming from her eyes.
Xie Qingchen looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was in extreme pain but biting her lip, and felt an inexplicable tenderness. Such a stubborn girl, having suffered a heavy blow from the captain of Zhan Yue Lou, with slight internal organ damage, and now entangled by a poisonous snake, trembling in fear, yet she was only hiding in his arms, desperately biting her lip and silently shedding tears.
Was that arrogant person who claimed to be “master” also wearing a mask? Why use such a proud and arrogant appearance to disguise oneself? Why couldn’t she cry out loud? Why couldn’t she show weakness?
He tightly wrapped Mu Xiaoxiao in his arms – she was so thin! How could such fragile bones support her stubborn strength!
“Cough cough…” Mu Xiaoxiao was held so tightly she could barely breathe.
Xie Qingchen quickly let go, looking into her eyes – those so bright eyes, still sparkling with starlight even in severe injury!
“Little girl, your eyes are too big.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was instantly annoyed by this, giving him several eye rolls and complaining: “Are you making fun of me? Staring at me without blinking, I thought it was deep affection, but you’re saying my eyes are too big! Boy, do you know what happens to people who say my eyes are big?”
“Hehe, what happens?” Xie Qingchen threw a charming glance, very cooperatively asking.
“Boy, be serious! I’ll tell you, from childhood until now, anyone who said I’m ugly has been beaten by me until they begged for mercy.”
Super Toxic Creature
Xie Qingchen could no longer hold back his loud laughter, holding Mu Xiaoxiao and stroking her forehead.
The black-clothed leader shouted again: “Da San, what’s going on? Where’s Xiao Qing? Why is she still alive?”
Xie Qingchen keenly felt the person in his arms trembling, hugged her even tighter, and softly said: “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
