However, Du Gu Ming, immersed in joy, didn’t hear these words, but Yun Li did. She curved a slight smile and whispered in Du Gu Ming’s ear, “Xiao Ming…”
Du Gu Ming held her even tighter.
Mei Kaiye brought up past events, trying to persuade him, “Do you still remember how I taught you to play the flute? Do you remember how your grandfather teased us? Do you remember when you applied medicine for me in the palace?”
Dugu Ming hesitated for a long time, looked her over again, slightly turned his face away, and said, “Miss, it’s getting late. I’ll take my leave now.”
Mei Kaiye called out to him: “Why don’t you believe me?”
Dugu Ming walked away without stopping, “Why should I believe you?”
Mei Kaiye’s breath stopped for a moment, and then he said, “Perhaps this is just what your master told you.”
After a long time, his figure disappeared from her sight. Tears slowly welled up in Mei Kaiye’s eyes; Dugu Ming did not believe her.
Initially, she had placed all her hopes on him, but it turned out to be her own wishful thinking.
“Oh, Xiao Chu, are you admiring the moon so late?” A light voice came from behind her.
It was Mo Yi.
Mei Kaiye least wanted to see him now. She didn’t turn her head, hastily wiped away her tears, and was about to leave.
Little did she know, Mo Yi quickly slipped in front of her.
To prevent him from seeing her crying mess, Mei Kaiye hurriedly lowered her head, “Yes, admiring the moon. The moon is so beautiful.”
Mo Yi snickered, “Little girl, you’re talking nonsense. Where’s the moon tonight?” He made a sound, “What’s wrong? Don’t want to see me? Why are you lowering your head?”
“I… I’ll go first.” Mei Kaiye lowered her head even more, trying to pass by him.
Mo Yi grabbed her wrist, leaned close to her face, his deep eyes staring at her for a long time. He raised his hand and wiped away the remaining tears on her face, “Why are you crying?”
“It’s none of your business.” She raised her head defiantly, saw Mo Yi’s handsome face, and tears burst out again.
