Chapter 69 Bondage
Bai Muya hated her life experience to the core.

Everyone envies that she is the most noble and beautiful woman in this city, but she hates the background and status that imprison her.

"Mu Ya, if you can't finish the etiquette class, you can't eat."

"Mu Ya, you should be excellent in history class, why only good?"

"Mu Ya, why haven't you finished studying these art of war?"

"Mu Ya, why can't you write simple negotiating essays?"

"Muya."

Her father's strict requirements were like a jack, each sentence weighed heavily on her heart, making her unable to breathe.Bai Muya always kept her head down and remained silent. Over time, she never even communicated with her classmates.

Everyone said that Bai Muya was cold and dazzling, but only she knew it.Her heart is lonely and desolate, overgrown with weeds.

Because she is the daughter of the Great Elder, she must be better than others since she was a child.Because she is the daughter of the Great Elder, she has no choice.No one cared whether she wanted to learn those things, and no one cared what kind of person she wanted to be.All she has to do is to bear that aura and do her best in everything.

This kind of life is from birth.Bai Muya, who has no mother, is always cautious in front of her father and struggles to move forward.She tried her best to win her father's favor, but gradually, she found that she also became a serious person.

Until the summer when she was 17 years old, just after the evening get out of class bell rang, Bai Muya walked out with a cold face, almost out of the school gate, when she saw a boy walking by her side, she asked nervously: "Can we be friends? Don't get me wrong, I just want to talk to you a few more words."

Looking at the big boy who was as bright as a sunflower in front of him, Bai Muya asked calmly, "Who are you?"

The young man scratched the back of his head with a smile, and said awkwardly, "It's really as rumored, my name is Li Zijin, and I'm your classmate."

"What is the rumor about me?"

"Don't you know? It is rumored that you only like to be alone, don't like to talk to others, never remember who is in the same class, and only care about your own affairs."

"Sounds a little withdrawn."

Li Zijin smiled at her: "Yes, but today, it seems that you are not as scary as the rumors."

"Really? Maybe I'm just that kind of person."

"No, I can feel it." Li Zijin approached Bai Muya and said, "You are actually a person with a very soft heart."

In the quiet and spacious Great Elder's house, the sound of the piano was playing the same piece of music in a loop.Bai Muya looked at the front in a daze, but she didn't intend to stop her fingers.

To be honest, her heart was a little confused. What happened today was so sudden that she lost her ability to think.The piano repeated sad tunes, Bai Muya played it calmly, but the notes revealed her anxious heart.

"A friend? For me, maybe I don't need it."

Bai Muya who was muttering in such a low voice didn't know that his father had walked in.Seeing her devastated appearance, he began to wake her up.

"Mu Ya, you should know the responsibility you shoulder."

Bai Muya jumped when she heard the voice, and quickly responded: "Yes, father, I know."

The days to come were still difficult and boring, but the only difference was that Li Zijin always approached her, talking to her intentionally or unintentionally.

Bai Muya asked the people around her impatiently: "Why do you always harass me tirelessly?"

"I want to enter your world."

"why?"

"Because I can't help but want to get close to you and get to know you."

Li Zijin was very serious when he said these words, Bai Muya even saw her own small reflection in his clean and clear eyes.

"boring."

Hearing the sound of her own heartbeat, Bai Muya turned her gaze away, flipping through the book in a panic, but her heart couldn't calm down no matter what.

Gradually, without even realizing it herself, although she said she was bored and uninterested, she began to accept the young man's enthusiasm for her in her heart.Even when he was in a daze, he would secretly look in his direction, being drawn and attracted by him in his heart.

In April, the cherry blossoms in Rodden City are in full bloom. There is a cherry blossom avenue near the hidden spring city.It was just dark in the evening, the moonlight was clear, and the petals of the cherry blossoms were like snow, blowing away with the wind against the backdrop of the moonlight.

Li Zijin took Bai Muya's hand, and only let go after running here.Not far away is the Lan River flowing out of Zangchun City, coiling along the periphery of Rodden City.There was silence all around, and fireflies came out little by little, floating in the night.

Fascinated by the surrounding scenery, Bai Muya asked softly, "Is this the place you want to bring me?"

"Yeah, it's beautiful. When I'm in a bad mood, I always come here. It can be regarded as my secret base."

Seeing Li Zijin sitting beside her on the ground, Bai Muya also sat down, listening quietly to the sound of the river flowing beside her.

For a long time, Bai Muya said to the people around him, "Thank you for taking the trouble to get close to me."

"Hahaha, if you don't find me annoying, I can accompany you for a long time."

"Won't someone like you find me boring?"

"How could it be? You know a lot and you are beautiful. How can you be boring?"

Bai Muya didn't answer his words, but looked at the sky silently.

As the night darkened, she asked Li Zijin, "Do you want to hear a story?"

"Well, tell me, I'll listen."

"Once upon a time, there was a young girl whose dream was to become a great musician and compose the most beautiful music in the world. But she was born in a priestly family, and no one wanted her to learn music. She only had countless astrological readings. Hexagram courses and sacrificial ceremonial dances must be learned. Although she did not make any resistance on the surface, she is secretly trying to learn what she is interested in secretly."

"and after?"

"She was fed up with this kind of life, and planned to pretend to be a homeless person to find the life she wanted. Before that, she still maintained a clear and calm mind. She planned the route and planned how to escape. Become that ordinary person without any identity. After designing everything, she wrote a suicide note, packed her things, and planned to jump out of the balcony, pretending to commit suicide."

"Then did she succeed?"

"On the day the plan was implemented, she did as usual. After dinner, she put the letter on the table in her room, left a pair of shoes by the window, successfully climbed out along the rope on the balcony, and burned the rope."

"What happened later? Did she realize her dream?"

"I don't know, no one knows what happened to her after that, and no one knows where she went. She seemed to be dead and completely evaporated from the world. Maybe she has realized her dream. A certain corner of the world is alive, or perhaps, has passed away long ago."

When Bai Muya said this, her tone was very soft, as if she was expressing her own thoughts.Li Zijin beside him looked at Bai Muya's side face. At that moment, he felt that the person in front of him seemed to have too many secrets hidden in his heart.
