Chapter 80:
Mu Sixue’s room was even more luxurious than she had imagined. What came into view was a king-size white bed, and by the bed was a long and soft leather sofa.
The elegant and quiet woman was a little more lazy and enchanting than usual, leaning back.
Mu Sixue was a little special tonight, but she couldn’t say what was special. Was it the thin white slip dress that was wrapped around her, revealing her delicate collarbones, or the deep, small slit of the slip dress? She saw her crossing her legs, her pink and moist toes extending up to her faintly white legs.
Yan Qinghe’s heart tightened. On the table, a few bottles of unopened red wine were like hungry young fish, waiting for the fisherman to cast his bait.
She had the illusion that she was the fish and Mu Sixue was the fisherman.
The beautiful fisherman curved her red lips and beckoned to her—
“Summer, can you come and have a few drinks with me?”
Yan Qinghe was slightly stunned. Wasn’t her senior a light drinker, not even touching a drop of wine? She had actually taken the initiative to ask her to drink?
Wine, before a relationship was established, was the key to breaking the ambiguous boundary. After a relationship was established, it was a blazing fire that could pass through the narrow bottleneck and ignite the boiling point.
Drinking would not lead to promiscuity. It was just a way to liven things up and bring out the hidden feelings between two people who had feelings for each other.
She stopped her boundless questions. She didn’t know if it was the wine that gave her courage, or her growing and intense thoughts of Mu Sixue.
At every moment, she wanted to get closer to her. The full love in her chest, and the exquisite charm that Mu Sixue inadvertently revealed, made her forget her original intention of seeking secrets.
Whatever Mu Sixue asked her to do, she would do.
She was like a foolish emperor accompanied by a beautiful woman. In the midst of the pouring wine, the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter. She really wanted to say playfully, “My dear concubine, why don’t you have a drink with me?”
Since she was drinking with Mu Sixue, she also begged Mu Sixue to drink, and would not let her off.
Mu Sixue’s original intention was to get Yan Qinghe drunk, but this alpha was getting more and more sober as she drank. She, on the other hand, was having a hard time.
She prided herself on her tolerance for alcohol, but in front of Yan Qinghe, she was still no match. Were all alphas this good at drinking? Or was it just Qinghe?
Now was not the time to dwell on this question. Fortunately, the system had given her a few sobriety talismans.
She took the opportunity to negotiate with the system. Since she couldn’t get the authority of the world’s child’s secret, she had to get Yan Qinghe drunk. The system hesitated for a moment and agreed.
As Yan Qinghe drank, the room and the people in front of her became hazy and blurry. Her head was dizzy, but her consciousness was still a little clear.
But the person in front of her was sometimes Mu Sixue’s face, and sometimes it changed into someone else.
Mu Sixue straightened Yan Qinghe’s slightly swaying figure. The alpha smelled a familiar fragrance and, infatuated, wrapped her arms around her waist, her head rubbing against her shoulder and cheek, like a little puppy licking its owner up and down.
Mu Sixue also couldn’t resist. She wanted to grab her hand, but the other had missed her. Her serious face, her neck tilted up, asked her, “Is that you?”
Yan Qinghe murmured, wishing she could rub her whole body into Mu Sixue’s embrace, or hold her tightly and not let go.
So good, she had appeared in the country. So good, she had returned to her side.
Mu Sixue suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. If it wasn’t her, who else could it be?
She saw that Summer was finally showing signs of being drunk. She knew that she probably shouldn’t take advantage of her and try to get information out of her. But even if it wasn’t for Mu Sichen, from a girlfriend’s perspective, she didn’t want her partner to walk hand in hand with her with secrets.
Between lovers, what was most needed was trust and honesty. This was the lubricant that kept their relationship running smoothly.
She also hoped to unravel the shadow in Yan Qinghe’s heart, to let her shake off the burden of the past and be with her with a clear conscience and without any worries.
She didn’t want a hidden bomb to be buried between them, which could explode at any time. This feeling made her uneasy.
“Summer, who do you think I am?”
Could it be that she thought she was someone else, or had mistaken her for Ji Qianqian? Mu Sixue’s eyes dimmed.
Yan Qinghe held back the lump in her throat and replied in a low voice, “Yes, you are Sixue. I should like you the most.”
Should?
Hearing her confession, Mu Sixue’s heart softened for a moment. Her fingertips touched the slight wetness at the corner of her eye and corrected her with a smile, “You shouldn’t like me. Then who should you like? Ji Qianqian?”
The fisherman had thrown out a dangerous bait. The obedient fish jumped out of the water, its head tilted up, breathing heavily, struggling on the edge of its survival instinct.
Yan Qinghe grabbed her hand and brought it to her heart, shaking her head seriously. “No, she makes me feel so uncomfortable here. I don’t like her.”
She suddenly changed the subject. “But Senior makes me feel happy from the bottom of my heart. I like being with you.”
“Like a thousand flowers blooming in my heart. This place was once withered, but Sixue gave me a small garden.”
It was Mu Sixue who had opened her heart’s wall.
Her few words had cleared the clouds in Mu Sixue’s heart. Mu Sixue chuckled lightly and tapped her cheek, a small dimple appearing. “Are you really drinking wine? Or did you secretly put honey on your mouth?”
Yan Qinghe, as if she couldn’t take care of herself, leaned against Mu Sixue, humming and moaning. She followed the hand on her face and pointed to her own lips. “Sixue will know if you taste it.”
“Do you know when I’m happiest when I’m with you?”
Mu Sixue smiled and shook her head.
“Okay, then if I tell Senior, can you give me a reward?”
“Okay.”
“I’m happiest when Sixue takes the initiative to kiss me.”
Mu Sixue’s heart was struck by her directness. She blushed for a moment and had to fulfill her promise, kissing Yan Qinghe’s pouting lips.
“Is that enough?”
Yan Qinghe nodded with a smile, her head dizzy and drunk. She rubbed against Mu Sixue’s shoulder and wrapped her arms around her waist. “Now it’s Summer’s turn to reward Sixue.”
Mu Sixue had been interrupted before and had almost forgotten her original intention of getting her drunk.
“You’ve forgiven Ji Qianqian, haven’t you?” Mu Sixue asked step by step. Lovers break up and get back together. Ji Qianqian was full of obsession with Yan Qinghe. It didn’t seem like they had only had one entanglement. She was also guessing. Yan Qinghe did indeed nod.
“I’ve forgiven her many times, for all sorts of reasons—”
Was it because of her deep love for Ji Qianqian at that time, or because she understood and understood the mistakes she had made?
Everyone makes mistakes. She had also made some. When she had made the same mistake as Ji Qianqian, her initial desire for revenge had instantly turned into a pathetic forgiveness of Ji Qianqian.
She was pathetic for herself, and also pathetic for Ji Qianqian. They were like a resentful couple played by fate.
She had poured out her mistakes on paper. At that time, Ji Qianqian had lowered her body and sighed deeply, choosing to forgive her. They had held each other tightly, like a pair of lovers abandoned by the world.
She couldn’t bring herself to tell Mu Sixue about the mistakes she had made, not just because it was a matter of her past life.
“Because you love her?” Mu Sixue asked. So that’s why you forgave her.
“No, I don’t love her anymore. I only like you now,” Yan Qinghe said, wishing she could show her heart to Mu Sixue. “I’m just a little sad sometimes.”
Mu Sixue’s beautiful face was right in front of her, but why was it as if it were covered in a layer of frost? Her senior had let go of her and had stood up straight.
“Summer, you’re not being honest with me.” Mu Sixue’s tone was full of disappointment, like a white cloud in the wind, about to let go of her.
Yan Qinghe quickly tried to get up. The wine was affecting her head. She almost fell. This person’s departing figure was so resolute, so similar to the person who had abandoned her.
She hugged Mu Sixue in a panic and with longing. “Senior, don’t go. You ask, and I’ll tell you, okay~”
She lowered her eyelashes. Although she had a high tolerance for alcohol, she didn’t like to drink. When she drank too much, all her past memories would turn into poisoned ice blades, repeatedly cutting every inch of her skin.
And now, with Mu Sixue by her side, before she could even ask, she had told Mu Sixue everything about her rebirth, her life before her rebirth, from her first meeting with Ji Qianqian, to her unconscious marking after her differentiation, Yan Qing’s possession of her… Ji Qianqian’s pregnancy, and later her and Ji Qianqian’s misunderstanding, their marriage and then divorce due to a series of events…
Her voice was very soft, but very forceful, occasionally mixed with a deep sigh. She told Mu Sixue everything.
Mu Sixue was stunned. She knew that Yan Qinghe had been reborn, but she had never thought that she and Ji Qianqian had been through so much.
It turned out that they had been married and had almost had a child. Summer had once liked Ji Qianqian so much that even after she had made so many mistakes, Summer had chosen to forgive her.
It turned out that the thoughtfulness she had shown her, all the warm skills, the cooking, all the loving meals, the professional massage techniques… were all learned for Ji Qianqian at first.
It turned out that the her she had once spoken of was bad-tempered and impatient, and the understanding, patience, and gentleness she now showed were all good qualities that had been changed because of Ji Qianqian.
Ji Qianqian was like a heavy whetstone, which had sharpened Summer into the shining sword she was today.
Should she be secretly happy that she had gotten a ready-made bargain, or should she be bitter that the person she liked had once had another person in her heart, and had occupied such a deep position?
Speaking of the baby, Yan Qinghe was even sadder. She began to talk about her childhood, the dark years of being either harshly criticized or ignored by her mother, Yan Manxing.
She had always hoped to have a child of her own, and then to give the child all the motherly love she had never felt.
Later, when Ji Qianqian was pregnant, the shadows of her childhood were in urgent need of being washed away by the arrival of this life. The whole world seemed to have been renewed.
Until the moment she received the news of the abortion, she had completely given up on Ji Qianqian, her heart as dead as ashes.
As Yan Qinghe spoke, she held her forehead in her hands, her voice growing softer and softer. “I remember you asked me what my wish was. At that time, I said I didn’t know. But after being with you, I know what I want.”
Mu Sixue’s eyes were clear, but her breath hitched. Summer’s wish, was she finally willing to tell her?
This was related to Sichen’s illness, to the task list she had promised the system, to the remaining thirty percent of the progress bar.
It was related to everything. But when Yan Qinghe was really willing to tell her her wish, and with a wet gaze, she was hesitant, her beautiful eyes almost set her heart on fire.
So, was Summer’s wish related to her shortcomings? She couldn’t think of anything.
“Sixue, I want to marry you. I want to have a baby that looks like you.”
