It was almost midnight when Xiaoyou woke up.

She rubbed her dizzy forehead and looked at the unfamiliar environment. She was stunned for a while before she realized that she was not in her bedroom.

"Is this... Brother Mu Lin's bedroom?"

From the color of the walls and floors, it can be seen that this is the decoration of the apartment where Xiaoxi lives.

But this bedroom is somewhat different from Xiaoxi's, mainly because the furniture arrangements are completely inconsistent and the colors are also very different.

His gaze turned and the Jiang family portrait on the bedside table caught his eye.

Looking at the dazzling smile of the man in the photo, Xiaoyou pursed her lips and got out of bed.

I remember Xiaoxi said that there are two rooms here, and Brother Mu Lin gave one to her, so where will he live?

Thinking about how he brought me home drunk and gave up his room.

Her heart was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples...

[I'm working overtime, so let Xiaoyou stay at your house today. I'll pick her up tomorrow morning.]

Jiang Mulin was lying on the sofa, soundly asleep, when he received a text message alert.

I opened it in a daze and found it was sent by Shen Yu.

【it is good. 】

I replied to the message and glanced at the time. It was already past midnight.

I sat up and rubbed my shoulders which were sore due to the small space. When I felt better, I was about to get something to drink from the refrigerator when the bedroom door was pushed open from the inside.

There was only one wall lamp left in the living room, the light was dim, and I could barely see the surroundings.

But Xiaoyou still saw the tall man on the sofa at a glance.

Even though she couldn't see his facial features clearly, she could tell from the direction of his head that his gaze was directed at her.

Xiaoyou suddenly became uneasy, hesitated for a while, and then took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision.

She came to the sofa and stood in front of him.

"Brother Mulin."

"You want water?" Jiang Mulin thought she wanted to drink water.

Xiaoyou shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "You... like Guan Wei?"

This question had been turning over in her mind many times, and now it finally came out of her mouth.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from the way Mu Linge and Guan Wei get along that they like each other.

But she just wouldn't give up and wanted to hear him say it in person.

In this way...she can let go of what she shouldn't be obsessed with.

People will eventually have to hit their head against the wall before they know to turn back.

Jiang Mulin stared at the graceful girl.

After she asked the question, she didn't raise her head, avoiding his gaze, and seemed to know the answer he was going to say.

He doesn't like Guan Wei, but he doesn't like Xiao You either...

At the age of thirty, his mentality has not changed much.

I have never thought about finding a girlfriend, and I don’t have anyone I really like.

He was also attracted to Guan Wei because of her beauty. At his age, it was normal to have some kind of "impulse".

Proves that there is nothing wrong with his sexual orientation.

I remember that some people in their circle had raised doubts in the past, saying that he, Tan Yan and Shen Yu had never been seen having contact with women, and that the three of them had abnormal sexual orientations.

In fact, they don’t want to be like animals, waking up every day and going to a private club to choose what they like, and then indulge in endless exercise...

As for Guan Wei, he didn't want to sleep much either.

I just feel that I’m not young anymore, and it’s rare to see something that suits my taste, so I thought about trying it.

Xiaoyou is different. She is his best friend’s sister and is almost the same age as his own sister. How could he possibly have any other thoughts?

She was still young and didn't understand what feelings were. It was only when she met him in her ignorant period that she mistook her infatuation for love.

He didn't like Xiaoyou and didn't want to delay her.

I could only follow her words and say, "I like it. I like it very much."

Jiang Mulin stood up, walked around the sofa and headed towards the door, intending to spend the night next door.

"boom."

Looking at the resolute back, Xiaoyou felt a lump in his throat.

I closed my eyes and tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of my eyes.

I was clearly prepared mentally, but when I heard this answer in person, my heart still ached.

She pressed hard on her chest, hoping to find some relief.

However, it didn't work. My chest still hurt so much that it was difficult to breathe.

I bit my tongue tightly to prevent myself from crying out loud.

Xiaoxi is still sleeping. She has helped me a lot and I can’t cause her any more trouble.

-

That night, Jiang Mulin slept very poorly and was awakened by dreams several times.

They are all fragmentary dreams, intermittent, but extremely clear.

In the dream, Xiaoyou married the son of a restaurant chain that has risen in the past two years.

After marriage, she didn't live well.

That man is not a good person, and he bullies people into the dust.

He often brought various women home openly and even performed live sex shows in front of her.

Xiaoyou ran away from home, probably because she was too sad, and she couldn't save her hard-earned fetus.

When she was sent to the hospital, she was covered in blood. Even so, she still held her belly tightly, cried heartbreakingly, and begged the doctor over and over again to save her baby.

The blood keeps flowing...

Her tears never stopped.

"Xiao Yu!"

Jiang Mulin was awakened by the dream again.

He glanced around in a daze.

After recognizing that it was Tan Yan's apartment, his chest, which had been heaving violently, gradually calmed down.

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

Rubbing his aching head, he lost his appetite and planned to go home.

It's six o'clock in the morning now. I have to wake Xiaoxi up in a while.

And... he suddenly wanted to go and see the person who had tortured him in his dreams all night.

Wonder if she slept well.

"Xiaoyou?"

Jiang Mulin closed the door to Tan Yan's house and happened to see her pushing the door open and leaving.

"You got up so early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Thank you Brother Mu Lin for what happened yesterday. I slept well. Brother is here to pick me up. Bye." Xiaoyou replied with a smile.

She looks very pretty when she smiles, with two obvious dimples on her cheeks.

She wasn't the grief-stricken girl in the dream. It was nice to see her like this, and it made me feel at ease.

"I'll... take you downstairs."

Jiang Mulin didn't know what he was thinking, but his mouth spoke out before his head.

Having said that, he took two steps forward, intending to send her off.

Xiaoyou was still smiling, but his eyes could no longer bend into the perfect arc. "No need. Goodbye."

Without waiting for Jiang Mulin to reply, the elevator door opened.

She walked in quickly and pressed the door closing button.

The door slowly closed, and the face that she had admired for seven years disappeared completely from her sight.

Goodbye, Brother Mu Lin whom she loved.

"Xiao...Yuu."

Jiang Mulin stared at the closed elevator door, feeling that something was wrong.

Today, she seems to love to laugh...

That’s right, a smile!

When Xiaoyou faced him before, her smile was shy and her eyes were filled with the timidity of a little girl.

But her smile just now did not have these, and seemed to have a hint of alienation.

Probably... not completely awake.

-

"Ow ooh..."

Jiang Ximeng held her head with both hands and banged her head on the bed for a long time, but the pain did not go away.

Jiang Mulin couldn't stand it anymore and came over to help massage, which relieved the pain a lot.

Her mind finally cleared up a bit, and she thought of Xiaoyou, "Brother, I vaguely remember that Xiaoyou came to stay here yesterday, right?"

A soft hum came from above my head, "Hmm."

"Then why isn't she in my room? Did she wake up early?"

“Ouch… Ouch, brother, please press gently, it hurts so much!”

Jiang Ximeng pushed away the hand that was suddenly raging on her temple and yelled at him.

His hand was pushed away, and Jiang Mulin did not continue to help knead. Instead, he picked up the car keys and left without looking back.

Jiang Ximeng:? ?
