Lü Yun walked out of the room in a daze. She didn't want to go back. She felt that if she did, she would be all alone in there, extremely lonely.
But she didn't know where to go. Lü Yun looked around and found no place she wanted to go. The only place she wanted to be was where Mu Nan was.
It was a pity...
"Feng'er? Why are you here?" Mu Fengqie saw Lü Yun looking so distracted and roughly guessed the reason.
"Sister Qie, I... I don't know what to do. Can you help me?"
Mu Fengqie saw the hopeful light in Lü Yun's eyes and couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded.
"Okay, then tell me what happened." Mu Fengqie pulled Lü Yun to sit on a big rock.
"I'm the saintess of the Witch Clan Village. I used to live a carefree life every day. My parents loved me, and the villagers cared about me."
"But one day when I went out to play, I met a seriously injured man. Seeing that he was still alive, I had him brought into the village. He was badly hurt and poisoned."
"It took me a great deal of effort to cure him."
"He told me his name was Mu Nan. We gradually got to know each other better, and then we were almost like best friends. I would go to see him every day. We would go hunting and pick fruits on the mountain together."
"Do you know? Once we encountered a porcupine. It was him who protected me. At that moment, looking at his straight back, I felt that I had fallen in love with him."
"After that, I would almost go to see him every day and give him things. Almost every time I saw him, I would blush."
"I once thought that maybe he didn't like me, so I buried my feelings deep in my heart and never told him. But once, Brother Azhuang from our village told me that he liked me."
"But before I could reject him, Mu Nan heard this. He didn't say a word. He just glanced at Brother Azhuang and then pulled me away."
"After that day, he ignored me for a long time. Later, I gradually realized that maybe he liked me, but he was just not good at expressing himself."
"So I thought that since he was not good at expressing his feelings, I should take the initiative. But tonight, when I finally mustered up the courage to tell him, I never expected that he would reject me."
Mu Fengqie looked at Lü Yun desperately trying to hold back her tears and felt a bit heart - broken. From what she said, Mu Fengqie could tell that Mu Nan had feelings for Lü Yun. This Mu Nan was just an arrogant and shy guy. A good lesson would do him good.
"Feng'er, do you want to be with Mu Nan?"
"Of course I do. But he doesn't like me. My mother said that feelings can't be forced."
"How do you know he's not lying if you don't test him?"
"What do you mean, Sister Qie?"
"Feng'er, do you know that there's a kind of man called an arrogant and shy man in this world?"
"What does that mean?"
"It means that although he actually has feelings for the other person in his heart, he is too proud to show it. He even enjoys the kindness from the other person without any sense of guilt. But once that person starts to have the idea of leaving him, then this man will start to panic."
"So Sister Qie means... Mu Nan is an arrogant and shy man?"
"Yes, you see. If he didn't like you, why would he pull you away when Azhuang confessed his love to you and then be in a huff with you for several days?"
"So he actually likes me in his heart, but he's just too proud to admit it."
"Right. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that Mu Nan will obediently follow you around. You won't even be able to drive him away."
"Really? Okay, I'll listen to you, Sister Qie."
So the two of them came up with a plan specifically targeting Mu Nan. They didn't tell anyone else about this plan. They just informed Azhuang temporarily and asked him to cooperate and act in a play.
Actually, after confessing his love to Lü Yun, Azhuang went back and thought it over carefully. He found that he was more suitable to be Lü Yun's elder brother. So the next day, he went to Lü Yun and made it clear to her.
It's just that Mu Nan didn't know about this. Now, by taking advantage of this relationship to give Mu Nan a bit of a shock, they would soon see the effect.
"Thank you, Sister Qie. I'll go to see him tomorrow."
"Okay, come on. You can definitely do it."
"Okay." The little girl skipped away.
After watching Lü Yun leave, Mu Fengqie stood there and sighed. Then she turned around and went back to the guest room where they were staying.
Actually, when Lü Yun was talking about Mu Nan being poisoned just now, Mu Fengqie immediately thought of Jing Xunchè. She didn't know how his poison was after all this time. Since she made some pills for him to suppress the toxicity last time, he never mentioned this matter again and never had a toxic episode in front of her. So she forgot about it.
But it's been so long. Presumably, the poison has flared up. She just didn't know how he managed to get through it. Did he fall into a coma like before?
Mu Fengqie thought about these things and gradually fell asleep. But she didn't sleep well that night. She always had strange dreams.
Sometimes she dreamed that Jing Xunchè died from the toxic episode. Sometimes she dreamed of the mother of this body of hers. She couldn't see the face clearly, but she could still feel a sense of intimacy from her.
Suddenly, she was woken up by a knock on the door. Mu Fengqie rubbed her aching temples, got up and walked outside. She saw Aru knocking on the door anxiously.
"What's wrong, Aru? What happened?"
"Sister, Sister Feng'er is here. She..."
"Hmm? What's wrong with her?" Actually, Mu Fengqie already knew what had happened. After all, she taught Lü Yun a lot of methods yesterday. She didn't believe that she couldn't win over Mu Nan!
"Sister, you'd better go and have a look."
"Okay, wait for me a moment. I'll go and change my clothes and come right away."
When Mu Fengqie came over after getting dressed, she found Mu Nan with a dark face, looking at Lü Yun and Azhuang.
And Lü Yun was leaning against Azhuang's arms like a timid little bird.
"Mu Nan, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. My mother has already scolded me. Don't worry. I won't pester you anymore. After all, a forced melon won't be sweet."
"Moreover, it was Brother Azhuang who accompanied me last night when I was sad." That's not true. It was Sister Qie who accompanied her last night. Although she went to find Brother Azhuang later, it could still be counted as accompanying.
"He always comforted and enlightened me. So I figured it out this morning. I won't trouble you anymore from now on. From now on, you'll be my elder brother, Lü Yun's elder brother."
"Since we can't be husband and wife, we can still be siblings."
Hearing this, Mu Fengqie suddenly thought of a modern saying, "Lovers will eventually become siblings."
This saintess is really amazing. She just gave her a little hint yesterday, but unexpectedly, she understood so quickly. She's really something!
