I shrank back, staying still. Fine, I’ll play along with your act. Want a hug, Your Majesty?
Whether it was becoming more familiar with their features or for other reasons, although their facial features and contours were slightly similar, their expressions were entirely different. At first glance, they wouldn’t seem like brothers. Now, looking at them, Mu Chuan’s face was slightly cold, and so was Mu Yin’s.
I remembered the first time I saw Mu Yin, mistaking him for Mu Chuan, because his eyes and demeanor were exactly like Mu Chuan’s usual cold and murderous air. I clung to Mu Chuan’s hand to prevent him from impulsively slapping Mu Yin away. Unexpectedly, this action immediately made the other’s expression look somewhat distressed.
After a long standoff, Mu Yin finally spoke: “Where are you going?”
Mu Chuan responded flatly: “The human realm.” Then added, “In a few days, my sister-in-law’s soul will return. We’ll settle in the human realm. You’re welcome to visit.”
I silently spat blood. Isn’t he afraid of crushing his brother’s heart in the cradle?
Hearing Mu Chuan’s long sigh, I knew he wasn’t feeling well either. I stood up and said, “Even if Qing Yuan doesn’t come, it’s okay. Don’t overthink it.”
Mu Chuan shook his head: “Given his personality, he will agree. He won’t let you take this risk. But the more he acts this way, the more uneasy I feel.”
I didn’t ask him what he would do if he wasn’t sure Mu Yin would agree, to exchange for my absolute safety. Such a question would be meaningless; the answer would never be what I wanted. If yes, there would be the pain of separation; if no, there would be dissatisfaction with not being able to give one’s whole heart.
If someone were to ask me such a question, I’d throw a shoe in their face.
Here is the edited article:
In the end, the human world wasn’t reached.
After bathing in the evening and dressing, I soon heard a voice.
“Su Su, are you done washing?”
I looked around the room; no one was there. Was Mu Yin waiting for me? If it were Mu Chuan, he would have directly barged in. Indeed, a romantic youth. I smiled helplessly: “Yes.”
