"What?" Mu Anxiao asked curiously.
Feng Qishi glanced around, and after making sure no pedestrians were nearby, he said, "She said she likes me, and I rejected her. She's very narcissistic, you know?"
"Calling her narcissistic is like calling yourself narcissistic. I don't think that girl is like you say." Mu Anxiao stopped at the curb.
Feng Qishi frowned, "If you don't believe me, then go see for yourself."
"Fine, I'll go." Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes at Feng Qishi, then thought about it. "No, I can't go."
"Why not?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao, not noticing the changing traffic light, stepped off the curb. "I've already told your Feng family that I wouldn't go. If I go now, won't I be slapping myself in the face?" As she spoke, she was about to walk forward when a car horn blared, making her stop.
Feng Qishi was also startled and turned his head to look at the stopped car, his eyes widening.
Mu Anxiao rubbed her ears and habitually took a step back onto the curb.
Feng Qishi's eyes remained fixed on the car. He swallowed and said, "You really do have a connection with the Feng family."
"What..."
Before Mu Anxiao could utter two words, Feng Sen's voice came from the car, "Mu Anxiao, is that you?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned her head to look at Feng Sen, who was leaning out of the car window, and asked, "Who are you?"
Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao pretending ignorance and said, "Even if you say that, he'll still talk to you, silly girl."
Feng Sen, upon hearing this, quickly opened the car door and ran in front of Mu Anxiao. "It's me, Feng Qishi's brother."
"He's a silly one too," Feng Qishi said, shaking his head as he watched Feng Sen eagerly introduce himself.
"Is there something wrong?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"No, it's just..." Feng Sen lowered his gaze. "I hope you can accompany me somewhere."
"What for?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"Come with me," Feng Sen said, reaching out to hold Mu Anxiao's arm.
Feng Qishi's eyes widened the moment Feng Sen grabbed Mu Anxiao's arm.
Mu Anxiao shook off his hand and said, "Don't touch me."
"Okay, okay, then just come with me," Feng Sen said with a dry laugh.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Sen's face and said, "Your brother is gone, and you can still smile."
"I..." Feng Sen lowered his head, his face suddenly filled with loneliness. "I don't know why, but I just can't cry. At night, when I think about Feng Qishi and all our experiences, I feel so sad. If you can, I hope you'll help me."
"How can I help you?"
"Come with me," Feng Sen said, pointing to himself.
Feng Qishi had never seen Feng Sen with such an expression before, so he said, "Go ahead, maybe he really has something important."
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi.
Feng Sen looked confusedly at Mu Anxiao's side and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing," Mu Anxiao replied, walking past Feng Sen to the rear door. She pulled it open, saw the woman in the driver's seat, and then closed the door again. "Your girlfriend is here too."
"I can see that," Feng Sen said sheepishly.
"If you ask me to come along, won't your girlfriend be unhappy?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"No," Feng Sen replied, reaching out to open the rear door again. "Get in."
Mu Anxiao frowned, then glanced at Feng Qishi, who nodded. She relented, "Alright." She bent down and got into the car.
Feng Sen closed the door.
Feng Qishi squeezed through the car door and sat next to Mu Anxiao.
Feng Sen opened the front passenger door and sat in the co-pilot seat. "Alright, let's go."
"Is it okay to park here?" the woman asked as she started the car.
Feng Sen fastened his seatbelt and said, "It's fine. This road is newly paved, so it's not a problem."
The woman glanced at Feng Sen, then suddenly said, "My condolences."
Mu Anxiao blinked in surprise and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes, Feng Sen said you're his brother's girlfriend. His brother passed away yesterday, so don't be too sad. Your health is the most important thing," the woman said, looking around. "I saw you looking distracted just now, please don't do anything foolish."
Mu Anxiao glanced back at Feng Sen, who was looking at her, and casually replied, "I won't do anything foolish."
"This Feng Sen, he's found a woman older than himself," Feng Qishi said, staring at the woman driving in front and clicking his tongue. "With such heavy makeup, she looks like a dominant woman. Feng Sen will have a good life in the future."
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi, who was chattering away, and frowned.
"How old are you?" the woman suddenly asked.
Mu Anxiao didn't want to answer and deliberately looked at Feng Sen.
Feng Sen glanced at Mu Anxiao and said, "She's about the same age as my brother. But she knows my mother doesn't like her." He cast a sideways glance. "To avoid upsetting my mother, she said she wouldn't attend my brother's funeral. But I thought, no matter what, she is Qishi's girlfriend, and Qishi would definitely want to see her. So, I discussed it with my mother last night, and she agreed."
"You really are a good son," the woman said, turning her head to smile faintly at Feng Sen. "By the way, my mother hasn't met me yet. Will she dislike me too?"
"Let me tell you a secret, my brother actually committed suicide because of Mu Anxiao," Feng Sen said, getting more and more out of hand.
"What does that have to do with me?" Mu Anxiao asked bluntly.
Feng Sen was speechless.
The woman glanced at Feng Sen and said, "Feng Sen, I hate this habit of yours, twisting everything around. I think," she pulled the car over to the side of the road, "your brother was forced to his death by your family."
"How can you say that?" Feng Sen asked angrily.
"We've been together for so long, and you're always mentioning your mother. And you always talk about your family. Why don't you ever mention me to your mother?" the woman said, her anger rising. "You've never brought me to your house. What do you mean? And now that your brother is dead, you're dumping all this mess onto this girl. I finally understand, your whole family is terrifying." The woman said, picked up her bag, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Feng Sen was surprised that the woman would say such things to him midway. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Did I say anything wrong?"
"You should go down and check on her quickly," Mu Anxiao urged.
Feng Sen glanced at Mu Anxiao, opened the car door reluctantly, and got out.
Then, as the car door closed, Feng Qishi said, "If I'm not mistaken, Feng Sen doesn't want to be with that woman anymore."
"How do you know?" Mu Anxiao turned to look at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi's lips curled. "It's obvious that this woman pursued him. He's deliberately making up these stories about us just to anger her and make her realize that no matter how rich the Feng family is, it won't be easy for her to fit in. It also shows her that he's a mama's boy."
