Chapter 53: Wait for Me to Come Back

  It was New Year's Eve, and outside it was snowing heavily. Mu Youwo was chatting with the "If you don't leave, I won't abandon" group in her own room.

  Bu Nai: Huh? When did our group get an extra person?

  Mù Xīn: Ah? What's going on? Who let him in? And what's with the name "One Piece of Forest"?

  It seems like it just appeared today.

  Mu Xin: There are only four people in this group, I am the group owner, and the other three are administrators. If you all say so, then there is only...

  It's me who let them in... First of all, I'd like to declare that I was threatened!

  Mù Xīn: Dare to threaten you? Isn't it just a small account that doesn't cry?

  Bù Hán: Jie! Bù Qì: Mù Jiějiě!

  Translation:

  Not Cold: Sister! Not Cry: Mu Elder Sister!

  Mù Xīn: I... I must have misspoken...

  Mushin: Comrade Forest, please voluntarily report your name, otherwise, you will be kicked out without pardon!

  A piece of forest: You stinky little brat, dare to kick me, your uncle? Do you still want to mix with the underworld?!

  Mu Xin: ……

  Don't cry: ……

  Not cold:......

  Always be with you: ……

  Muxin: Nodiscard, can you take care of yourself on your side? Your body makes me worry!

  Don't worry: everyone can rest assured! I'm not Lin Daiyu, and after all this time, I've gotten used to the schedule and everything is fine!

  Lin Daiyu is healthier than you.

  Don't cry: Brother! Don't ruin my show!

  Not cold: Always want to go and see for myself before feeling at ease!

  Seeing Mu Han's words, Mu You fell silent. Indeed, from not giving up to Harvard and until now, no matter what she asked her, she always said it was good, but in her heart, she always felt uneasy, let alone Mu Han?

  But now, things are just getting started here and it's not time to go abroad yet...

  A piece of forest: Mù Yāo Tóu, when are you free to come here? It's been a long time since you've been to the martial arts hall. I reckon your kung fu skills have almost gone to waste!

  Mu Xin: I was wrong, and it's still not okay. Tomorrow on New Year's Day, I'll specially come to your place to apologize!

  A forest of trees: this is still pretty good!

  Looking at the computer screen, Mu You couldn't help but laugh. It was hard for her to imagine that a legendary figure who had been through the underworld for half his life would actually sit quietly in front of the computer screen with these young people, listening to their jokes and chatting with them.

  Looking at the group of people still chatting enthusiastically on the computer screen, Mu You felt a warmth in her heart. She was never alone, not in this life. No matter how scared or desperate she was, even if everything failed in the end, having their company made it all worthwhile.

  "Tangerine, Happy New Year!" Muyou said with a hint of melancholy, stroking the spot on her shoulder.

  I don't know why, but since the last time Orange helped her forcibly recover her body, no matter how she called out to it, it didn't appear again. Even when she fainted from exhaustion last time, she still didn't feel any emotions from it, as if it had vanished into thin air from her own body. If not for the pattern on her shoulder, she would have thought that everything in the past was just her own illusion...

  Thinking of this, Mu You felt a bit annoyed in her heart, put on her coat and wanted to use the snow outside the window to help eliminate it.

  "Xiao Qing, it's tough on you. Don't worry, once you successfully get into Tsinghua University, I'll bring your mother over and then there will be just the three of us!"

  "Is it true that as long as I can get into Tsinghua, no matter when, mom will come over?"

  "Yes, at that time, I will have the confidence to say that my daughter is the best!"

  “……”

  The words were already indistinct to Muyou, as she had reached the downstairs. From today on, nothing about Mu Cheng could hurt her anymore! Because she didn't care, so she wasn't heartbroken. When she arrived outside, Muyou shivered with cold, somewhat unadapted to the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors.

  Before my eyes, it's a vast expanse of white, snow falling ceaselessly, but not heavily. Stretching out my hand, I catch a snowflake, watching as it melts away to nothing in my palm, and can't help but smile like a child.

  She carefully took her first step, making a shallow footprint in the snow. The crunching sound of the snow made Mu You think of the happy times she spent with her family when she was younger, and she couldn't help but start running in the snow, her laughter ringing out like a silver bell.

  "Be careful!" Just as Mu Yu was about to fall, a pair of hands appeared in time to hold her up. Mu Yu looked over in surprise, meeting a pair of eyes that were both amused and worried.

  "We're all grown up now, still playing in the snow?" Chen Zirui reluctantly withdrew his hand, his eyes lingering on Mu You's body.

  "You... how are you here?" New Year's Eve should be spent with family, shouldn't it?

  Chen Zirui smiled and pointed to his car, which was not far away, saying with a clear conscience: "I came out to buy something, on my way back I happened to pass by the road, saw you coming out, so I came down to take a look."

  This road is quite far... Mu You muttered to herself, if she didn't have memory problems, Chen Zirui's home was in the city center of A City, and her home... was in the suburbs.

  "You'd better hurry back! It's a pity if you don't spend New Year's Eve with your family!"

  "It's okay, they won't worry about it. And you, Xiao You, everyone in your family is inside the house, why did you run out alone?" Ignoring Mu You's urging, Chen Zirui still smiled warmly, making Mu You unable to chase him away.

  "It's too hot in the house... I'm going out to cool off..." Ugh! As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted it. What kind of excuse is that? Even I couldn't bear to hear myself say it...

  "Well... but the scenery outside is great, with a moon and stars." Chen Zirui smiled even more happily.

  "Chen Zirui!" By now, even a fool would know that Chen Zirui's words were sarcastic. Mu You glared at him with an angry face, while Chen Zirui shrugged his shoulders and looked very innocent.

  "I'm leaving for France tomorrow." Chen Zirui suddenly changed from his previous relaxed tone to a serious and helpless one.

  "Huh?"

  "The person who was at the land auction last time is my boss, this time he's going to the London headquarters and will take me with him." Chen Zirui said while paying attention to Mu You's expression, hoping to see a hint of loss or something, but unfortunately, Mu You remained extremely calm from start to finish.

  "Really?" Murong You smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing, "Maybe when you get there, you'll find that place really likable and decide to settle down, or even have a romantic encounter with a foreigner and put down roots there!"

  Chen Zirui couldn't laugh anymore, his face no longer had a smile, silently staring at her.

  The snow kept falling, and a person poked his head out of the house, unintentionally seeing two people in the snowy ground, with a venomous light flashing in their eyes.

  "Alright, I was just joking." Mu You said with a pout, unable to withstand Chen Zirui's piercing gaze.

  "Alas." Chen Zirui let out a soft sigh and suddenly stepped forward, lightly embracing her. Mu You just thought of struggling, but he had already let go.

  "Wait for me." he whispered in her ear.
