Chapter 1461 - 1458: Nothing Seems to Stir the Waters Anymore

Chapter 1461: Chapter 1458: Nothing Seems to Stir the Waters Anymore

Tonight, she slept well, a dreamless night, her face peaceful in sleep, her lips curved slightly as if holding a faint smile. She hadn’t felt this tranquil in a long, long time. Her heart was calm, so calm, as if no ripples could arise anymore. She was still pondering over Qiao Muyun and Li Yaxuan, and Xiao Shan. She wondered how they were after she left.

Brother Qiao Muyun, Brother Ya Xuan, would their lives be romantic, full of romance... Haha, it’s unimaginable. That scene she returned to on her birthday was real; they were kissing passionately, unable to part... They must be deeply in love!

If they knew she was working in a gay bar now, would their eyes pop out of their heads! Haha!

Mysteriously, this must be fate! It allowed her to meet Li Yaxuan on the plane with Brother Qiao Muyun, then Brother Qiao Muyun also encountered his love, inadvertently saving Xiao Shan, and upon leaving, she ended up meeting Han Wenxi, then joined the Rustle Dance and Music Group... Everything was proceeding like a perfect Korean drama, flourishing, only unlike Korean dramas, she did not like tragedies, so the ending must also be perfect.

And... And... if she were still the heroine, yet without seeing the hero... would there be a hero? Haha... Maybe... Regardless of whether love will come in the future, or if love will visit her, she should treat this affection with a grateful heart. After all, many people in this world have helped her... Truly, she’s incredibly grateful to all those lovely people who have helped her in the past.

......

Li Yaxuan’s "Yanxi" Villa

The place was still as calm as ever, but no longer with any merriment or laughter. Or rather, the constant heavy pressure had already exhausted everyone inside.

The suit jacket was casually draped over his shoulder, the necktie slightly loosened; Li Yaxuan wore a thin veneer of calm on his face, looking as if he’d just come back freely from outside. He was walking at this time in the lush garden courtyard.

"Clang!" With a sound, Li Yaxuan pushed open the grand glass-decorated door of the villa, walked into the hall, and saw a shadow sitting alone on the sofa, clutching its forehead, as if half asleep.

"Why didn’t you turn on the light?" Li Yaxuan asked, then casually flicked the switches on the wall, "click! click! click!", and the hall was suddenly brightly lit, dazzling colored spotlights illuminating the corners of the room.

"You weren’t thinking of saving electricity for me, were you? Haha!" Li Yaxuan couldn’t help but joke, though the other party remained silent; seeing his state, he could imagine how painful his heart was. He had become much more haggard in recent days, a slight trace of stubble shadowing his handsome face.

"Where’s Xiao Shan?" Li Yaxuan asked. Jian Shui’s pupils were bright and clear, further delving into the other’s thoughts. He tried to gauge the other’s psychological activities.

Finally, Qiao Muyun spoke up.

"She’s asleep." The tone was calm and very low. There was no expression on his face, cold without warmth.

"Then why aren’t you sleeping?" Li Yaxuan asked again. His brain worked quickly, and without waiting for a reply, he joked teasingly, "Waiting for me?! Want me to accompany you?"

In the past, words like this would have made Qiao Muyun furious, but now...

He seemed to not have the mood to respond to him at all.

Silence. The air was as still as death.

After a while, Qiao Muyun released the hand from his forehead, looked up at him, those dark green eyes seemingly full of disdain and scorn.

"Is that very funny, Li Yaxuan?" Qiao Muyun retorted, sarcastically exaggerating, "Do you find it enjoyable to always amuse yourself at others’ expense? Or are you just shameless to that extent? Disinterested in others’ words, yet you can still entertain yourself?"

Hearing this, Li Yaxuan remained calm, not getting angry, casually tossing the suit draped over his shoulder onto the sofa. His clean, handsome face bore a deadly charming smile. At this moment, no matter how you looked, it was pure and harmless on the surface, yet at the core, it was full of cheekiness.

Li Yaxuan crossed his arms and stood leisurely in front of Qiao Muyun, looking at him thoughtfully, as if contemplating everything.

"Haven’t found her yet?" Li Yaxuan asked.

"Nonsense, what do you think?" Qiao Muyun retorted unfriendly. Recently, he’s been tirelessly staying at every traffic junction, hoping to find traces of her, leaving every day with hope, returning every day feeling lost. But often, the greater the hope, the stronger the sense of loss. That feeling is truly unbearable!

"Uh... haha!" Li Yaxuan was momentarily at a loss for words from Qiao Muyun, only managing a dry laugh.

Suddenly, Qiao Muyun gazed into those Jian Shui eyes, as though seeing something, reminding him of something, as if there was something wrong in there.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Li Yaxuan teased. His eyes were strange, and without thinking, he said, "Did you find me handsome? Enjoying the view?"

Damn!

Qiao Muyun couldn’t help but curse inwardly. This shameless gay! His face was thicker than the city walls.

Gay...

Uh. Almost instantly, this thought flashed through Qiao Muyun’s mind, could it be that Zi Ruoxi knew something...

What did she mean by writing "nothing to repay, only fulfill" on the note? He was always puzzled...

Her words full of blessings, if not for him and Xiao Shan, could it imply him and Li Yaxuan?!

Sweat...

Inhaling sharply, Qiao Muyun was instantly shocked by this thought of his. He couldn’t believe that the true meaning of Zi Ruoxi’s note was such... such... Oh, he couldn’t say it. He’d rather believe, no! But the more he thought like this, the greater the possibility of suspicion.

Including on the birthday, she really saw them hugging and kissing each other...

Uh, trouble, seems, seems, that night, in the courtyard, he did say something, back then he was just thinking of taking her away, so he asked her to stay away from Li Yaxuan, could it be that just because of these words... she misunderstood his meaning?!

If... she really thought he and Li Yaxuan were a couple, then what he said, wouldn’t it be just smoothly explained...

Faint!

Thinking up to here, it seemed like everything made sense in Qiao Muyun’s mind, those dark green eyes suddenly deepened. Looking at Li Yaxuan, without blinking.

"What does the note Zi Ruoxi left mean?" Qiao Muyun asked, trying hard to maintain calmness. Inside, it felt like a fire was burning, unbearably painful.
