Chapter 1475 - 1472: Why Should He Care?

Chapter 1475: Chapter 1472: Why Should He Care?

Of course, Qiao Muyun didn’t ask about the reasons, including why he was drunk that night. It’s none of his business, so why should he care so much about it? However, one thing remains, and that is... he still cannot accept Li Yaxuan bringing other people back. Although that day, someone else brought Li Yaxuan back, those words, those subtle implications have already touched his limits of tolerance.

Zhi Ruoxi still needs to be found, but it doesn’t necessarily mean she has to rely on him.

Three nights later. The night was tranquil, everything was quiet. Country H’s sky seemed particularly clear, stars still twinkling, and the crescent moon hung like a hook, reflecting the restless hearts of those inside the house.

"Bang!" Qiao Muyun pushed open the door and walked into the hall. He immediately saw Xiao Shan busily moving back and forth happily, running between the dining room and the kitchen. Hearing the door, she instinctively looked over. Seeing who it was, her eyes lit up with surprise and joy.

"Brother Qiao Muyun, you’re back." Xiao Shan said happily, then added with a cheerful smile, "You’re in for a treat today, Brother Ya Xuan cooked! It’s really good! That Country H kimchi is so authentic..." Xiao Shan hadn’t finished speaking when she was cut off by the other’s words.

"I’ve already eaten outside." Qiao Muyun responded. Then he approached the living room, bypassed the dining room, without even glancing at the delicious dishes on the table, and immediately put his hands in his pockets, took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, ready to light it. But at this moment, his movements slowed down. He saw something that made him want to laugh but couldn’t. That was Li Yaxuan.

Li Yaxuan was wearing a high chef’s hat, incongruously paired with an extremely feminine apron, especially with his pure white and immaculate face. It made people feel... Han Si. If you want to be funny or quirky, don’t be so outrageous, okay? Seriously polluting the eyes, Qiao Muyun subconsciously turned his face away.

"Uh..." Xiao Shan looked at Li Yaxuan helplessly. She shrugged, expressing that she was at a loss with this person. Brother Ya Xuan, you see! Then she went forward to take the dish from Li Yaxuan’s hand, placing it squarely on the table. Four dishes and one soup, red flowers and green leaves, with soup and oil, perfectly matched, the aroma of the dishes made Xiao Shan sniff strongly.

"Brother Qiao Muyun, it really is delicious, why don’t you just come and try a little? This is something Brother Ya Xuan spent a long time on..." Xiao Shan couldn’t help but coax softly.

Qiao Muyun heard it, but did not turn his head.

"It’s really annoying, didn’t I say I’ve eaten, why are you nagging so much!" Qiao Muyun replied irritably. Unconsciously, his tone had already changed.

"..." Xiao Shan’s eyes suddenly turned red. She felt a sense of grievance, but she fought back certain tears, although her nose and eyes felt very sore and uncomfortable.

This made Li Yaxuan, who was standing to the side, immediately change his expression. He took off his hat, removed the apron, and walked to Qiao Muyun with a displeased face, an indescribable array of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy emotions welling up in his heart. Jian Shui’s pupils looked coldly at this man. Li Yaxuan could say he had never felt so cold before... his heart had been completely stabbed by this ungrateful fool.

"Do you want to smoke, do you not know how to respect people, were you born cheap, are you looking for abuse?!" Li Yaxuan spat out a string of words, his voice was not loud, but very clear, obviously losing control and going off.

Li Yaxuan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart; he was going to completely release it today. Even if they ended up fighting again, Li Yaxuan didn’t care. Anyway, since it made him unhappy, he could not let it slide. He also shouldn’t think others are fools, that they would let him scold them around and then eat heartily, and continue to smoke that damn cigarette without any guilt!

Xiao Shan was frightened. She had never seen Li Yaxuan like this. He always had such grace, joking and laughing... him losing his cool like this was terrifying, incredibly terrifying...

"Brother Ya Xuan..." Xiao Shan couldn’t help but interject, just calling out, when she was stopped.

"This is between him and me. Xiao Shan, it’s none of your business." Li Yaxuan ordered.

Qiao Muyun turned his head somewhat surprised, looking at this person who seemed too out of character today. He paused for a moment, did not light the cigarette immediately, but put the lighter and cigarette back into his pocket, then stood up.

"Sorry for disturbing your meal, I’ll go upstairs to smoke." Qiao Muyun said, then brushed past him, intending to head upstairs.

He had only taken a few steps when a sharp voice stopped him from behind.

"Qiao Muyun, do you really want to stay like this forever? What if you can never find her, what will you do?" Li Yaxuan asked desolately, Jian Shui’s pupils seemed inexplicably glistening.

Qiao Muyun paused for two seconds, then slowly turned back.

"It doesn’t matter... even if it’s as you said, I will continue to search for her, until I’m old or dead, until I can no longer walk..." Qiao Muyun answered calmly. The dark green eyes were gentle, unusually warm, as if that was the life he longed for, to spend his days searching and seeking... it somehow didn’t seem so bad.

As if he had already anticipated this result, but still wanted to hear him say these cruel and merciless words to himself... why... was the one truly looking for abuse actually himself? Knowing full well there wasn’t a shadow of himself in the other’s heart, not even a tiny bit, yet he was so unwilling to give himself.

Thinking of these things, the pain filled his heart, cutting through it alive... he was really sad. Unhappy.

What is there to linger for with a person like this? He is his type, suits his taste, but is unwilling to let him have a taste, preferring to throw it away, let it rot, spoil, rather than let him have even a small bite...

"Fine, come with me upstairs, I’ll give you the result you want." Li Yaxuan said indifferently, no longer looking into Qiao Muyun’s eyes, quickly brushing past him and heading upstairs.

Result?!

What did he mean...

Qiao Muyun’s reaction was a bit slow, his handsome and weathered face showing some confusion; he really didn’t understand what the other meant. He didn’t like guessing, he very much disliked guessing about things that were either there or not. If the other was still planning some kind of prank, like when he had told her he was gay, would that be a joke, was that a prank?
