Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Hua Chaochao stared at Yi Mu for a few seconds. Seeing how nervous and persistent he was, she stopped joking and said, "I don't want to leave. You can let go."

As she spoke, she gently shook the hand he was holding, signaling him to let go.

Yi Mu did not let go immediately, but stared at Hua Chaochao without blinking, as if he wanted to confirm from her eyes whether she was lying to him. After a while, he felt that she was not joking, so he slowly loosened his fingers.

After Hua Chaochao regained her freedom, she walked towards the sofa. Yi Mu saw her and hurriedly raised his foot to follow her, but he heard her say, "Take care of your hands first."

She doesn't chat with bloody people.

Yi Mugang's raised foot suddenly froze in mid-air. He looked down at his injured hand. The bleeding had stopped, leaving a dark red mark on his hand.

Then he turned around and walked quickly to the side and started looking for a Band-Aid.

After a while, Yi Mu treated the wound, walked quickly to Hua Chaochao and sat down, looking at her carefully, "I'm fine."

Hua Chaochao glanced at his hand, and seeing that the wound had indeed been treated, she casually replied, "Yeah."

Yi Mu pursed his lips, as if he was struggling in his heart. After a little hesitation, he spoke: "I'll listen to you. I'll stay here."

Hua Chaochao: "If you are unwilling, forget it."

Yi Mu was actually very happy, but he didn't show it on the surface, and he denied it seriously: "I'm not reluctant."

Hua Chaochao curled the corner of her mouth and looked at him with an expression that said "keep pretending".

Yi Mu: “…”

He had nowhere to hide in front of her.

But it doesn't matter, his goal was achieved.

As for finding an excuse to leave, that is not a problem at all. After all, according to Hua Xi's usual personality, as long as you tell her that you have something to do and need to leave, she will definitely not ask any more questions.

……

Yi Mu's farewell went smoothly, just as he expected. When Hua Xi heard him say he was leaving, there was no special reaction on her face. She didn't ask him where he was going or what the matter was. She just said "um" lightly, and then said "OK", and didn't say anything else.

Although if Yi Mu stayed, it would be of more help to what they were going to do next, but Hua Xi knew in her heart that what they were about to face was full of dangers. She could not force Yi Mu to take the risk with her. Whether he stayed or left should be decided by himself.

Since Xuan Palace had already been vacated, Ji Xianchen took the opportunity to stay in the hotel.

He was there when Yi Mu suggested leaving.

"sorry."

Ji Xianchen apologized to Hua Xi several times, but he didn't have the chance to say sorry to Yi Mu.

Now that he was leaving and he didn't know when they would meet next time, Ji Xianchen could only seize this opportunity to express his apology to him.

Yi Mu's eyes moved back and forth between Hua Xi and Ji Xianchen for a few times, and finally looked at Ji Xianchen and replied: "If you encounter a life-threatening situation in the future, you must die before her."

Aren't you feeling guilty? Then prove it with your actions. Anyone can just talk about it.

Ji Xianchen was stunned, as if he didn't expect Yi Mu to say that.

Hua Xi also frowned and looked at Yi Mu with disapproval.

She doesn't need anyone's protection.

"Don't worry, I will definitely stand in front of her if there is any danger." Ji Xianchen quickly came to his senses and promised solemnly.

Yi Mu didn't say anything more and turned to leave the hotel.

Hua Chaochao was waiting for him outside the hotel.

She came to pick him up.

Yi Mu left the hotel, and as soon as he saw Hua Chaochao, his originally stern face immediately softened.

His originally slow pace suddenly turned into a quick walk, and finally he just ran. In a few steps, he ran to Hua Chaochao and hugged her tightly in his arms without saying a word.

"You're exaggerating, aren't we just a few minutes apart?"

Although Hua Chaochao said this, she still raised her hand and gently hugged Yi Mu back.

They were together all night last night, and only separated in the morning when Yi Mu was going to say goodbye to Hua Xi. But to Yi Mu, these dozens of minutes seemed like several long centuries.

"But I miss you." Yi Mu's voice sounded in Hua Chaochao's ears, with a hint of nostalgia.

Hua Chaochao joked, "You are so obsessed with me, what are you going to do in the future?"

Before he finished speaking, Yi Mu's body suddenly stiffened, and the arms that were originally tightly hugging Hua Chaochao slowly loosened.

He stared into Hua Chaochao's bright and moving eyes. "Don't say such things. Don't talk about the future. You said that you should just enjoy the present, didn't you?"

But you also know that the present moment won’t last long.

Hua Chaochao looked at Yi Mu who was deceiving himself and decided to follow his wishes. "Okay, I won't say anything more."

Yi Mu's expression eased a little. He reached out and took Hua Chaochao's hand, and asked as usual: "What do you want for breakfast?"

Hua Chaochao was led forward by him, tilting her head to think, and after a moment she said, "Do you really have to eat it?"

There was no food she wanted to eat.

Yi Mu touched his empty stomach and said, "I'm hungry." There was a hint of grievance in his voice, like a child asking for candy.

He didn't even eat yesterday's dinner, he just drank a glass of wine that he snatched from Hua Chaochao.

In fact, Yi Mu was not really hungry. He just thought that Hua Chaochao was about to leave, and it would be good to do one more thing with her and leave one more memory.

Hua Chaochao understood: "You are hungry, okay, let's go to the morning market and see what you want to eat."

"Ah."

Yi Mu thought, it would be great if time could stop at this moment.
