After leaving Nan Xun, Mu Qing said, “Jiuan, come walk with me for a while.”
“…Okay.” Xing Jiuan followed Mu Qing.
They had driven two cars over. Ou Qi and Lu Mingxi sat in another car.
“Why is Jiuan acting so strangely today?” Ou Qi was still puzzled.
Lu Mingxi remained silent.
Xing Jiuan followed Mu Qing into the car and sat in the front passenger seat.
“Are you in a bad mood?” Mu Qing asked.
“Yeah.”
“What’s wrong? Can you tell me about it?”
Mu Qing was still as gentle as before when he faced Xing Jiuan.
He no longer had the cold and distant look he had two years from now.
“I think I’ve been very willful and am always causing trouble for you.”
“Why do you think that way?”
“I just feel that I’m not very obedient and…”
Mu Qing took the hat from Xing Jiuan’s hands and put it on for her. He even let out a sigh.
Xing Jiuan fell silent.
“Jiuan, don’t overthink this. You haven’t been disobedient, and you haven’t caused me any trouble.” His voice was gentle but firm.
He had watched Xing Jiuan grow up.
The little girl had left her master before she reached adulthood and followed him.
He never dared to be careless when he took care of people.
Because he liked her too much.
When he was still a young boy, there was a young girl who had two crooked braids tied by her master. She always followed him and called him “Senior Brother.”
Master had taken in many disciples, but Xing Jiuan had been picked up by him.
Mu Qing still remembered that she was only three years old back then.
So many senior brothers and sisters loved to stick to her.
Mu Qing’s life wasn’t good and he had suffered a lot. Suddenly, he had a soft little junior sister calling him “Senior Brother” in her baby voice and smiling like a little angel. It was as if he had been redeemed.
Xing Jiuan was willful, brash, reckless, and hard to discipline. He was willing to pamper and protect her, making her lawless.
“Your arrival is my good fortune.”
After hearing her senior brother’s words, Xing Jiuan fell silent again.
Perhaps it was because she was different from before. Now, she had experienced too many things. Even if she had returned to the age where she was reckless and arrogant, she could no longer be like before.
For instance, when she was facing Mu Qing, she had started to be careful.
In the past, Xing Jiuan had been pampered by Mu Qing. Her recklessness and brashness came from being spoiled.
It was as if she could always do whatever she wanted with Mu Qing.
However, after experiencing the breaking of ties with her senior brothers and sisters, the current Xing Jiuan wanted to be more obedient. She wanted to be more obedient so that Senior Brother would like her more and everyone would like her more…
That way, Xing Jiuan would not become a child that no one wanted.
Xing Jiuan smiled at Mu Qing and said softly, “Senior Brother, are we not going back?”
Mu Qing looked at her carefully for a while before agreeing.
He started the car and said, “There are snacks there. Do you want some?”
“I just finished eating, so I won’t eat them.”
Mu Qing did not say anything else. He played some songs in the car. Even though there was gentle and soft music in the car, it still felt silent. It was strangely quiet.
Perhaps… it was because Xing Jiuan was not chattering non-stop this time.
In the past, Xing Jiuan was a chatterbox. After not seeing him for a few days, she would always tell Mu Qing about the interesting things that she had experienced during that period of time…
It was as if she was reporting her whereabouts to an elder…
“Jiuan, do you want to keep a cat?” Mu Qing suddenly asked. “I saw a cat when I went out this time. It’s very pretty and has a personality similar to yours.”
“Similar to mine?” Xing Jiuan tilted her head.
“Yeah, she’s mischievous and obedient.”
Xing Jiuan seemed to have been tickled. “Can it still be obedient despite being mischievous?”
