“Mm.” Mu Anxiao nodded, sidestepped the large, stout demon, and exited the stairwell, running into Yan Ruoruo and Shi Momo.
“Mu Anxiao, why are you here?” Shi Momo asked, pointing at Mu Anxiao cautiously.
Mu Anxiao walked up to Shi Momo, glanced at Yan Ruoruo who was deliberately lowering her head, and said, “You’re crying.”
Yan Ruoruo pursed her lips, saying nothing.
Shi Momo chuckled, “You’re really direct, aren’t you?”
Mu Anxiao looked at Shi Momo and asked, “Are you here to see Feng Feng?”
“Yes, who knew as soon as we arrived, we heard Feng Qishi jumped off the building. To be honest,” Shi Momo said, a nervous look on her face, “I was really startled.”
“Anyone who hears this news would be startled,” Mu Anxiao said blandly.
“Yes.” Shi Momo gave a faint smile and nudged Yan Ruoruo’s arm with her elbow, “Don’t cry anymore. Lift your head and talk to your savior.”
“Savior? What savior?” Mu Anxiao asked, puzzled.
“You helped me, and from that day on, I’ve considered you my savior,” Yan Ruoruo replied honestly.
Mu Anxiao tilted her head and smiled, “Don’t flatter me. Speaking of which, it’s understandable that Feng Feng is in a bad mood. People’s relationships are always so complicated. As for you,” she looked at Shi Momo, who was staring at her, and asked, “Can you stop looking at me like that?”
“I’ll wait for you guys over there,” Shi Momo smiled.
Mu Anxiao waved her hand.
Shi Momo walked away with a smile.
Then, Mu Anxiao’s gaze returned to Yan Ruoruo, who was in low spirits, “As for you, don’t overthink things. You’re classmates, and you’ll see each other often in the future. Of course, if she really doesn’t want to talk to you, don’t go to her. To put it bluntly, your relationship has already cracked. Let it be.”
“Are you comforting me?” Yan Ruoruo asked with a pout.
Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes slightly and said, “I’m not comforting you. I just want to tell you that people’s relationships… you have to let them take their course. Besides, Feng Feng’s family matters are quite…” Her expression twisted, “Anyway, you understand, it’s very complicated. At this juncture, whoever goes to her, she won’t treat them kindly. So don’t seek unnecessary trouble.”
“Wouldn’t it be bad if I didn’t go to her?” Yan Ruoruo asked with lingering fear.
Mu Anxiao smiled faintly, “It would be worse if you went to her.”
“Then is it okay if I leave now?”
“What’s wrong with that? Just live your own life. If their world doesn’t want you, you can’t get in. If you ask me, you should just focus on your studies and get your grades as high as Feng Feng’s. Who knows,” Mu Anxiao smiled, “she might accept you then.”
Yan Ruoruo hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Yes, what you say makes sense.”
“Since you think what I said makes sense, then don’t cry anymore. Crying is useless. It doesn’t solve anything, but instead,” Mu Anxiao pointed at Yan Ruoruo’s eyes, “it makes your eyes puffy.”
“Mm.” Yan Ruoruo smiled.
“Alright,” Mu Anxiao peeked at Shi Momo standing in the elevator lobby and said, “You should go back with your sister.”
“Mm.” Yan Ruoruo nodded. Just as she turned, Mu Anxiao asked, “By the way, what about your sister’s ex-boyfriend, Yan Shan?”
Hearing this, Yan Ruoruo turned to look at Mu Anxiao and said, “I heard he left this city. It happened not long ago.”
“Okay, I understand,” Mu Anxiao nodded.
“You know him?” Yan Ruoruo asked curiously.
Mu Anxiao shook her head, “No.”
“Oh, then I’m leaving.” Yan Ruoruo gestured towards Shi Momo.
“Go ahead. Oh, and don’t tell your sister I mentioned Yan Shan,” Mu Anxiao reminded her.
Yan Ruoruo smiled, “I know. Whatever you tell me, I won’t tell anyone else.”
Mu Anxiao smiled.
Yan Ruoruo smiled, then turned and ran away.
Mu Anxiao let out a breath and turned to look at the large, stout demon and the small demon standing in the stairwell, frowning.
“You really understand humans, don’t you?” the small demon chuckled.
The large, stout demon glanced at the small demon and said, “Mu Anxiao, I thought you were very selfish. I didn’t expect you to be such a nosy little immortal.”
Mu Anxiao pursed her lips, glanced at Yan Ruoruo, who was looking back at them from the elevator lobby, then stepped into the stairwell and said softly, “Many things are interconnected. What do you guys understand?”
“We don’t understand,” the small demon said with a simple smile.
“Yes, many things are interconnected,” the large, stout demon said, his reaction completely different from the small demon’s.
Mu Anxiao looked at his earnest expression and frowned, asking, “Do you have something you want to ask?”
“I can tell,” the large, stout demon said directly.
“Yes, you can tell. But I have other things to do right now. If you have something to ask, find me tonight. For now,” Mu Anxiao glanced at the small demon, “don’t follow me.” After saying that, she turned and left the stairwell.
The moment Mu Anxiao left, the large, stout demon and the small demon exchanged a glance. The large, stout demon said, “At least, she knows we have something to ask her.”
“Mm, impressive,” the small demon gave the large, stout demon a thumbs-up.
“Not bad, not bad,” the large, stout demon said, feigning modesty.
Meanwhile, Mu Anxiao arrived at the hospital room door, stopped, and knocked.
Immediately, Feng Feng saw Mu Anxiao and hurried up from the sofa to the door, “You’re here.” She stopped in front of Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao nodded, “Mm, why aren’t you going back to rest?”
“I’m worried about brother,” Feng Feng said softly.
“How is Feng Qishi?” Mu Anxiao asked.
Feng Feng gave a forced smile, “Brother is lucky. He only has fractures. Besides some abrasions, he’s fine.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao immediately feigned a shocked expression and said, “Only fractures? Your brother is truly lucky to fall from such a height.”
“I think it was the strong wind today, and the fact that my brother was caught twice. That’s why he didn’t suffer internal injuries… I guess,” Feng Feng said seriously.
Mu Anxiao, with the same serious expression as Feng Feng, said, “Then it really is your brother’s good luck. If he didn’t have good luck, he might have been… gone.”
Feng Feng’s expression changed, and she said, “Even so, I should be happy that my brother is like this.”
“Yes,” Mu Anxiao agreed.
Then, Feng Yan stopped behind Mu Anxiao and said, “You’re here.”
Mu Anxiao half-turned to look at Feng Yan and said, “Mm, I’m here.”
Feng Yan said, “Two girls came just now. They asked me to tell you they’ve left.”
“They came to inquire about Feng Qishi’s condition, right?” Mu Anxiao thought of Ma Yan and Ma Yan and asked.
Feng Yan nodded, “Mm. Speaking of which, where were you just now?”
“I… went out to eat,” Mu Anxiao casually fabricated.
