Chapter 1427 - 1424: But a Giant Python

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1424: But a Giant Python

Unexpectedly, just as Li Yaxuan lay down, with some unknown burst of energy, he flipped over and pinned Qiao Muyun beneath him.

Qiao Muyun felt a surge of anger rush to his head and, with a strong push of his arm, threw him off. The next second, he stood up as if the person on the bed was not a person but a giant python. Fearful of getting entangled, Qiao Muyun immediately stepped back a few steps and, turning his head, he found Li Yaxuan had closed his eyes, drowsily fallen asleep.

Qiao Muyun didn’t bother with him anymore, left the room, and walked a few steps in frustration. This guy had occupied his bed, moreover, just now... Damn it! If this gets out, how embarrassing!

Now what to do, how will I rest?

Qiao Muyun irritably brushed his long hair, slipped on his slippers, and directly walked to the door, "Bang!" opened it, and went straight out.

......

Early the next morning. Light spilled across the sky, clear blue washed the dome, it had rained lightly at night, making the next day’s air appear particularly clean and pure.

"Knock knock... knock knock..." A series of knocking sounds came through the room.

Li Yaxuan’s body moved slightly. Perhaps still a bit weary. As the knocking intensified, Li Yaxuan could no longer sleep. He turned over and stood up from the bedside. Lazily yawned and walked to the door, pulling it open.

For an instant, he was taken aback by the sight of the visitor.

"Uh..." Zi Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, but quickly collected herself, puzzled, "Doctor Li... why are you here? Where’s Brother Qiao Muyun? Isn’t this his room?"

Oh! A wake-up call for the dreamer.

Li Yaxuan smiled awkwardly. Then he wondered whether Qiao Muyun had returned to his own room to sleep.

"We had a little drink last night. Haha." Li Yaxuan explained, then said nothing further, bypassing Zi Ruoxi’s still puzzled gaze, he directly walked to his room, took out the room card, "Click!" twisted the door lock.

Zi Ruoxi curiously followed behind him. Passing through the living room, upon reaching the bedroom, sure enough, a long-haired figure was lying there.

Li Yaxuan looked curious, the room card still in hand, how did he get in? Could he have climbed over the wall? Hmm, he probably used the hotel’s service desk. Haha, this guy sure sleeps soundly.

Zi Ruoxi glanced at Qiao Muyun on the bed, her eyes softened, but she didn’t wake him, quietly left the room. Seeing her manner, with Qiao Muyun still asleep, Li Yaxuan didn’t disturb him either, followed behind Zi Ruoxi and also left.

......

Li Yaxuan, after completing his wash-up, left the bathroom, walked to the door of Zi Ruoxi’s room; the door wasn’t closed. Through the gap, he saw Zi Ruoxi sitting cross-legged, leisurely having her meal inside the room. "Knock knock!" Polite knocks and she turned her head. Upon seeing him, he entered the room.

"Miss Zi, are you getting used to the breakfast here?" Li Yaxuan asked quite gentlemanly.

Zi Ruoxi glanced down, a bowl of omelet rice, a small plate of taro cooked in cuttlefish soup (a favorite side dish of Country R people), a small plate of boiled vegetable greens with mushrooms, along with a bowl of sauce soup. This is the most authentic breakfast here.

"Haha, light and easy to digest, not bad!" Zi Ruoxi naturally replied. Then, looking at him, smiled, "Have you eaten, would you like to join me for some?"

"No, thank you." Li Yaxuan politely replied, then turned to speak more subtly, "If it were Qiao Muyun, he’d certainly appreciate you saying that."

Upon hearing this, Zi Ruoxi lifted her head, her intelligent eyes bright as Xi Jian.

"Doctor Li, what are you trying to say?" Zi Ruoxi asked as she scooped a spoonful of soup.

Li Yaxuan’s Jian Shui-like eyes flashed with discernment.

"Haha, I can see you’re not just ordinary siblings with Qiao Muyun, he seems to really... like you." Li Yaxuan slowly said. However, gazing into her eyes, he constantly wore a smile, making it impossible to perceive his true intentions.

Upon hearing this, Zi Ruoxi showed no unnatural expression. Her gaze remained exceptionally clear.

"Doctor Li, you might have misunderstood. Qiao Muyun and I are truly just siblings." Speaking here, Zi Ruoxi paused, then felt perhaps it wasn’t sufficient to express that sentiment, continued after a moment of pondering, "Maybe, what you see is that we are better than average siblings, that’s only because... we grew up together, familiar with each other. That’s all, nothing else."

"Oh... I see, I understand now." Li Yaxuan murmured, reflecting inwardly.

......

Meanwhile, during their idle chat in the room, neither noticed someone standing at the door, because when Li Yaxuan entered, he hadn’t closed the door, and at this moment, the content of their conversation, particularly Zi Ruoxi’s words, had floated seamlessly into the ears of the man standing at the doorway.

Now awake, cleaned up, hair tied, clad in a white windbreaker and leather jacket, underneath a tight black vest, paired with a cross pendant at the neck, he appeared quite cool and refreshing, initially wanting to find Zi Ruoxi to have breakfast together, but unexpectedly overheard her heartfelt revelation.

The face didn’t show any emotion, but internally felt suddenly empty, eyes couldn’t hide a deep loss. Suddenly, he didn’t want to go in. Qiao Muyun thought and retreated, quickly leaving the scene.

......

But the two people in the room remained unaware, continuing their conversation.

"Miss Zi, do you still want to return to your previous appearance?" Li Yaxuan asked, internally admiring his patient a bit. From her talk and demeanor, the girl indeed stands out, quick-minded, poised, no trace of arrogance. In the face of adversity, she remains strong and optimistic, with a completely healthy mindset, free of depressive entanglement. From this perspective alone, she warrants respect. Li Yaxuan couldn’t help feeling a few positive sentiments towards her.

Zi Ruoxi gently pressed her lips together. Of course, her face still covered by the connected ski cap revealed no expression.

"Is that even a question!" Zi Ruoxi lightly replied, seemingly feeling his query was somewhat redundant. However, she cautiously pondered for a moment, perhaps, if she indeed could recover, she honestly wouldn’t want to return to her previous self. Contemplating, scrutinizing Li Yaxuan’s eyes, her voice bright and captivating, "I want to become a different person."

"..." Li Yaxuan did not directly reply to her, but merely smiled, his pure and handsome face carrying an enigmatic smile.
