He heaved a sigh, rummaged through the bedding, and finally dismissed the idea of living in seclusion in this small mountain village that had just popped into his mind.
After all, the living conditions in Lu Xue's place were really poor. In particular, this girl seemed not to care about anything in her life.
At this moment, Mu Yuze couldn't even find a quilt to cover her with.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally took off his suit jacket and carefully covered Lu Xue with it.
A beam of moonlight shone in through the window, casting a glow on Lu Xue's undulating and charming face.
Mu Yuze lowered his head and silently observed her for a while. Only then did he realize that if Lu Xue kept quiet, she would truly be an extremely beautiful woman.
Her skin was as smooth as snow, flawless. The tip of her delicate nose had a faint blush of tenderness, which made people feel pity for her.
If this beautiful girl were to dress up a bit and take a little care of herself, she would surely stun everyone.
It was a pity...
Mu Yuze let out a bitter laugh.
If there was even a shred of vanity in Lu Xue's head like other girls, she wouldn't have ended up looking like this.
Just like this, the night passed until dawn.
When the sunlight shone through the window, Lu Xue opened her eyes, rubbed her head, and remembered the embarrassing thing of getting drunk and blacking out last night...
She rolled over and got out of bed. The suit jacket on her body slid to the ground.
Only then did she notice that she had been covered with Mu Yuze's clothes.
Where was Mu Yuze?
She searched the room but couldn't find him. Finally, she went all the way to the outside steps and finally found the young man sitting on the steps, dozing slightly.
Lu Xue was a bit surprised. Why did Mu Yuze sit on the steps and sleep all night?
The morning dew had dampened his shoulders, leaving a faint trace on his white shirt.
Han Xiaolv also came out from inside with a quilt in her arms, yawning as she walked.
"Lu Xue... Did we do anything embarrassing last night? After all, there was a handsome guy there. I don't want to have made a fool of myself last night..."
Mu Yuze had a light sleep. Startled by Han Xiaolv, he opened his eyes and woke up.
I don't know if it was just Lu Xue's illusion, but she felt that when Mu Yuze opened his eyelashes, he looked astonishing for a moment.
Mu Yuze politely smiled at the two girls.
"How did you sleep last night?"
Han Xiaolv rushed to answer, "I slept quite tired. I should have known better than to drink so much. By the way, handsome guy, did I make a fool of myself in front of you last night?"
Mu Yuze calmly replied, "No."
After saying this, the images of the two girls wailing, screaming at the top of their voices, and crying in each other's arms last night suddenly flashed through his mind.
His good upbringing made him automatically block out these images. He smiled faintly at Han Xiaolv and said,
"You drank too much last night and then went to sleep."
"Oh, that's good."
Han Xiaolv heaved a sigh of relief.
Lu Xue returned the suit jacket to Mu Yuze, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"There are no extra quilts in my house. I'm sorry you caught a chill."
There was a faint smile in Mu Yuze's eyes. "It doesn't matter. I'm a man. I'm in good health. Staying up all night is no big deal."
Lu Xue still felt a bit awkward. "My place is small. There's nothing to entertain you with. The living conditions here are far worse than your mansion... Don't suffer with me anymore. Regarding the matter of Mu Ziyue, I've already forgiven her in my heart. I'll make breakfast later. After you finish eating, go back quickly."
Mu Yuze: "Aren't you coming back with me?"
Lu Xue shook her head. "I'm living quite well here. Why should I go back?"
Han Xiaolv also nodded firmly in agreement. "Yes, yes. Lu Xue likes to live in this kind of place. She's been like this since she was a child. She has a lot of strange quirks!"
Mu Yuze noticed the word "since childhood" in Han Xiaolv's words. Did it mean that Han Xiaolv had known Lu Xue since they were kids?
Mu Yuze watched the two girls start to bustle around in the kitchen and fell silent, not saying a word.
He originally thought that after coming here on this trip to apologize to Lu Xue on behalf of Mu Ziyue, Lu Xue would be willing to go back to the Mu Mansion with him after she calmed down.
Now it seemed... things were completely the opposite of what he had imagined.
At this moment, Han Xiaolv let out a scream, as if all the alcohol she had drunk last night had worn off.
"Oops, there's no food left in the fridge. Lu Xue, what should we do? We're going to starve!"
Lu Xue scratched her head with difficulty and carefully chose her words. "Otherwise... shall we... skip breakfast?" This wasn't a problem for her. After all, her meals had always been irregular.
Han Xiaolv let out another scream and shouted, "No way. I'm a person who pays great attention to health!"
Mu Yuze stood outside the door, watching from afar as the two girls were about to start arguing with each other over this matter early in the morning. He coughed lightly and calmly said,
"I've already called someone to deliver food."
The two girls turned their heads and looked at him with a look of confusion in their eyes.
Everyone knew that in such a remote small village, there was no such thing as takeout.
Even to pick up a courier, one had to walk several miles on a mountain road to the post office in the town. But Mu Yuze just calmly met the gazes of the two girls without explaining further.
Half an hour later, Lu Xue and Han Xiaolv finally found out who the person who came to deliver the food was.
