Lu Xue shook her head. "There's no need to think about it any more. I'll set off to meet Mr. Chen tomorrow. After this trip, I may move back to my old place."
Mu Ziyue looked a bit dejected. "So, you're still going to leave. Can't you stay here? After tomorrow's trip, you'll start moving your stuff. Won't my brother be even more heart - broken?"
Lu Xue didn't say a word, but she felt flustered inside. This was a brand - new feeling for her. In her past life, she had never been bothered by such things.
Lu Xue let out a deep sigh, then pulled the quilt over her head and curled up under it.
Mu Ziyue pushed her several times, but since she couldn't get any more useful information, she could only go back to her own bedroom dejectedly.
Mu Ziyue walked through the corridor towards her bedroom, but her mind was still on her brother.
She glanced downstairs. Mu Yuze was sitting alone in the open - air garden outside, quietly sipping a cup of coffee.
The garden lamp was broken, so his figure was immersed in the darkness. Only a faint moonlight made him look extremely lonely.
Mu Ziyue walked down and sat opposite Mu Yuze. She poured herself a cup of coffee and drank it with a sense of melancholy.
Seeing Mu Ziyue's dejected look, Mu Yuze asked casually, "What's wrong? Did you fail a course?"
Mu Ziyue angrily slammed her coffee cup on the table. "Can't I have other things to be sad about? Do I always have to fail a course?"
Mu Yuze spoke again. "Then what else? Did you break up with your boyfriend?"
Mu Ziyue snorted. She thought the one who should be heart - broken was her brother.
"Brother, do you know that Lu Xue will leave our home soon?"
Mu Yuze was silent for a moment. He lowered his eyes and simply responded with an "um", showing no expression on his face.
Mu Ziyue continued, "Although Lu Xue has only lived with us for a short time, after these few months, I've really grown to like her. I've even regarded her as my good sister. But now she's leaving just like that, as if she doesn't care about me at all. I don't know why, but I feel really sad."
Saying this, Mu Ziyue drank most of her coffee, trying to drown her sorrows. Her whole face drooped.
Mu Yuze gave a self - deprecating bitter smile. Wasn't he the same?
After these few months, he unexpectedly found that he had feelings for Lu Xue. But it was obvious that Lu Xue had never had any special feelings for him. Now he had no position to stop her from leaving.
Mu Ziyue seemed to have an idea. "Brother, how about this? Lu Xue is going to meet Mr. Chen tomorrow. You can secretly follow her. At least you can help her on the way."
Mu Yuze remained silent. Mu Ziyue got anxious.
"This is your last chance to spend time with Lu Xue! If you don't even go, you'll never see her again!"
After saying that, Mu Ziyue went upstairs, leaving Mu Yuze alone in the garden, lost in thought.
Early the next morning, when the sky was still dim, Lu Xue set off.
She took the bus according to the route she had taken before and headed to the suburbs. Then she transferred there.
But at noon, the originally sunny and bright sky suddenly changed. Dark clouds began to gather.
Lu Xue looked up at the sky and felt a twinge of annoyance. She should have brought an umbrella.
She took a short - distance bus in the suburbs and got off half an hour later. It was a desolate area with no place to take shelter from the rain and no houses in sight. She had to walk two kilometers on foot to reach the village.
Just then, the heavy rain came pouring down. At first, it was just a light drizzle, but in an instant, it was like a waterfall.
Lu Xue walked faster and faster. In the end, she dragged her suitcase and ran. But she was still in a complete mess in the rain. She could hardly open her eyes.
If there had been a passer - by at that moment, they might have seen a thin girl struggling forward in the rain, dragging a big suitcase while being drenched.
Every time she took a few steps, the wind would make it impossible for her to open her eyes. She had to turn her back to the wind and wipe the rain off her face before continuing.
Lu Xue's clothes were completely soaked, and her hair was dripping water.
She was more worried about the works in her suitcase than about herself. The suitcase was made of cloth and not waterproof. Now it was being battered by the rain. Lu Xue didn't even dare to imagine what the works inside must look like.
Walking in such a miserable situation for ten minutes felt like a year. Every second was extremely difficult for her.
After walking for ten minutes, Lu Xue found that she was lost. She couldn't see the village no matter which direction she looked.
She was a bit annoyed as she dragged her suitcase around like a headless chicken, hoping to get lucky.
