Clatter! Ye Moxuan didn’t expect that at all. The bowl of porridge in his hand fell to the ground like this, and the sound of the porcelain breaking reverberated in both his and Han Muzi’s heart. She turned around fiercely with her back facing Ye Moxuan.
“I don’t need you putting on pretenses over here! I can take care of myself when I am sick. Even if I died of this, it would still have nothing to do with you. I don’t need you to feed me porridge here. I don’t need anything!”
There was silence behind her, as if no one was there. However, only Han Muzi knew that she had seriously hurt Ye Moxuan. While being angry and scolding him, her tears also fell down from the corner of her eyes, and she couldn’t even stop them.
She didn’t want to see Ye Moxuan’s bow to her in such a lowly manner. Seeing Ye Moxuan like this had completely betrayed his previous character. He was not such a person. He was a proud businessman who walked with an air of superiority, someone who only conceded defeat in front of her.
She didn’t want to see him like this. Han Muzi stretched out her hand and wiped her tears away before laying down with her back to him. Then, she pulled the blanket to cover herself, attempting to bury all sounds.
The room was quiet for a long time, and finally, some sounds were heard. There was the sound of porcelain shards clinking. Though it was quite faint, it was enough for them to hear that clearly in a quiet room.
Is Ye Moxuan actually cleaning up the broken bowl on the ground? Han Muzi’s eyes filled with tears again, and she bit her lower lip tightly. Why does he bother? Why?
I’m already treating him like this. Can’t he just turn around and leave? Why must he stay here and suffer these grievances from me?
Han Muzi closed her eyes and tried to make herself ignore these sounds. Finally, the room finally became quiet, so Han Muzi quietly poked her head out of the blanket.
She took a deep breath and sat up, only to find that the ground had been cleaned up. She didn’t feel any joy within her treating Ye Moxuan like this; instead, her heart clenched in pain.
However, she couldn’t face Ye Moxuan with a smile.
Both were difficult to her.
What she fervently hoped for now was for him to never appear in front of her again.
This was because, once he appeared, it would mess up her thoughts and her emotions.
She didn’t know how to choose anymore.
She quietly got up and went into the bathroom to change. When she came out, she ran into Ye Moxuan, who brought in a new bowl. But this time, he didn’t walk to her. Instead, he just said in a deep voice, “Since you don’t want to see me, I will leave first. Here’s a new bowl I got for you. Remember to eat your porridge later.”
Han Muzi remained silent, not replying to him at all.
Instead, she turned around and didn’t even look at him.
A flurry of footsteps sounded, indicating Ye Moxuan’s departure.
Han Muzi couldn’t help herself in the end and secretly turned her head to look at his leaving figure.
His back was straight, but now, he emanated a sense of loneliness and desolation, which made her upset.
After hearing the sound of the door closing downstairs, Han Muzi finally started moving by walking to the table.
The porridge was kept warm in the pot that Ye Moxuan brought to her room upstairs. It was probably meant to make it easier for her to eat.
The bowl was replaced by a new one. Han Muzi sat down and filled herself a bowl of porridge, then she finally took a spoonful and put it into her mouth.
The hot porridge lingered between her lips and teeth with a faint fragrance of rice. Han Muzi ate it bite by bite with her tears falling unconsciously.
Finally, she couldn’t help crying out loud.
Bastard!
Ye Moxuan, you bastard! Couldn’t you just turn around and leave?
Why did you do so many things for me?
I have clearly stated that it is impossible for me to accept him.
Why?
…
After Ye Moxuan went out, he went back to the opposite unit. The first thing he did when he returned was to turn on the screen, and then he sat there to observe.
After a while, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. Hence, Ye Moxuan stretched out his hand to cover the position of his stomach with his thin lips pressed together tightly.
After a while, he smiled self-mockingly and fell back on the sofa.
“Crazy. I must be crazy.”
…
In the evening, Han Muzi felt that she was not so dizzy anymore, so she opened the door to go downstairs to take a walk.
She didn’t want to go out today after what happened last night, but… it was daytime, so those people shouldn’t be so rampant.
Moreover, just waiting for death was not an option.
However, when Han Muzi went out to wait for the elevator, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening coming from the unit opposite hers.
She was a little puzzled. She seemed to have never seen her neighbor living across her although she had moved here for so long, so she thought there was no one living there. But after thinking about it now, since both she and Yan left early for work and returned late at night, maybe their timing was just not right. It was probably normal that they hadn’t met.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi shook her head slightly just in time to see the elevator floor rise to her own level.
She tidied her hair, and just when she took a step forward to walk into the elevator…
Ding!
After the elevator door opened, Han Muzi moved to make space. Right at this moment, her wrists were caught by someone.
“Your fever has only gone down recently, yet you already want to go out?”
A cold voice rang in her ears. Han Muzi turned her head in surprise and looked incredulously at the man who appeared in front of her.
“W-Why are you here?”
Looking at Ye Moxuan’s handsome face, Han Muzi was definitely surprised. After the initial surprise, she looked at the door behind him again and asked, “You… live here?”
If he didn’t live opposite us, how would he show up here out of thin air?
However, if he truly lives in the opposite unit, why hadn’t I run into him in such a long time?
Is this a coincidence, or did he arrange it in advance?
As if to answer her questions, Ye Moxuan explained indifferently, “After this happened, I moved over here.”
Han Muzi remained silent.
She opened her eyes wide because she still couldn’t believe it.
In this case, his speed is too fast. And… Her expression changed, and she quickly asked, “Then how did you know that I was going out?”
The door was about to close, wasn’t it?
Could it be that he had been standing by the door, listening to my movements? This is not impossible, but it is too weird. With Ye Moxuan’s intelligence, he would not do this.
So… why did he know that I’m going out? There is only one possibility left.
Han Muzi’s eyes searched everywhere at the door of her own house and at the door of the opposite house.
Ye Moxuan watched her movements with one hand in his pocket as he leaned against the wall.
Of course he knew what she was looking for, but he didn’t plan to tell her yet.
Otherwise, she would rebel against him, and he would not be able to protect her anymore.
“You don’t need to look for it. I didn’t install any cameras. I knew that you came out purely because of our confluence of minds.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi couldn’t help letting out a sneer. “Do you take me for a fool?”
