Plan B
Heart-Stealing Operation 22
Okay! Lin Xiaohuan! How dare you do this?
Chu Muyu gritted her teeth.
Do you know that I had already planned to start letting you go! Why are you playing such a trick on me again at this time!
As if venting, Chu Muyu smashed her phone onto the bed. Lin Xiaohuan didn’t know; Lin Xiaohuan just wanted her to be uncomfortable!
Truly detestable ah.
Chu Muyu was flustered and exasperated, almost wanting to rush in front of that person and grab her to ask for the reason.
If you’re going to leave, then leave cleanly and crisply ah, why do you still have to sufficiently brush up your sense of existence in front of me!
Chu Muyu just felt that the mental defense she had just built had collapsed again.
She was starting to feel unwilling to accept it again.
Chu Muyu hugged her head and squatted down, her face showing mania.
She absolutely could not appear like this in front of Lin Xiaohuan; that would only make Lin Xiaohuan even more disgusted and distance herself from her even more.
Disgusted.
Lin! Xiao! Huan!
Chu Muyu repeatedly chanted this name, as if wanting to dismantle it, crush it, and swallow it down. No matter what, it didn’t feel good; only by chanting Lin Xiaohuan’s name over and over like this now.
Chu Muyu didn’t have any photos of Lin Xiaohuan in her phone; saving them would be very boring.
Chu Muyu went to flip through her own Qzone1 photo album and found a few pictures taken five years ago, photos taken when she and Lin Xiaohuan were eating together.
At that time, their faces were both very green and unripe; Lin Xiaohuan’s appearance was simple and clean, like a small bamboo shoot after the rain, with a delicate and pretty face and a gentle look in her eyes.
These were the only few photos with Lin Xiaohuan that Chu Muyu had kept.
Chu Muyu discovered that, looking at this photo, she couldn’t get angry.
So it turns out the earliest Lin Xiaohuan was like this.
Not the gray and dusty appearance in her memory, but a bright one. Although her face still carried a shyness that was somewhat familiar to her, she was like a tender little flower, fluttering in the wind.
When did it start to change?
Chu Muyu squinted her eyes, her memory a stretch of haziness.
Su Xin was lying prone on the bed, pounding the bed with one hand while laughing loudly with the other.
“I dare say Chu Muyu is absolutely exploding with anger!”
Su Xin was overjoyed, just thinking about that reaction was fun.
“Little villain.”
Chu Yanxi was holding Su Xin’s phone in her hand; she had just caught it because Su Xin had almost flung it away from laughing after finishing her business.
She had been sitting here the whole time, had seen all of Su Xin’s actions, and had also seen the message Chu Muyu sent her.
Of course, Chu Yanxi wouldn’t feel sorry for Chu Muyu; she was just thinking that her family’s little girl really knew how to get Chu Muyu angry.
That degree was grasped particularly well. She understood Chu Muyu very well; when she was good to her, she was incredibly good, and now that she wanted to retaliate, she was by no means soft-handed. Every knife was accurately and precisely stabbed into Chu Muyu’s heart, making it so Chu Muyu could not break free, could not forget, could not let go, could not love, and found it difficult to hate.
“That’s right, I’m a little villain, you don’t like it?”
Su Xin snorted, went to the table to get a water cup and took a sip of water; she was a little tired from laughing just now.
“I like it, I like it, how could I not like it.”
How could I bear not to like it.
Chu Yanxi casually removed that chat, making that chat box disappear from the phone screen.
This is how it should be.
Whatever the little girl wants to do, she just has to do her best to cooperate.
Anyway, she knew that it was absolutely impossible for the little girl to have a change of heart and go back to liking Chu Muyu, and moreover, she had to make Chu Muyu like her, and then she would reject her.
It was impossible for Chu Yanxi to say she didn’t mind at all. Although this behavior of Su Xin’s wasn’t greening her2, the feeling of watching others fall in love with the little girl, where she couldn’t stop it and even had to help, was really not very good, but she wouldn’t fuss over it either.
The reason for not fussing was not because that person was a junior, nor because she was her adopted daughter, but only because that was the little girl’s wish.
One more day of companionship is one day less.
How could she have any mind to fuss over some love rival? She only hoped that her little girl could happily and joyfully live every day, and that every wish would be realized.
“I knew it.”
Su Xin raised her eyebrows smugly. She didn’t know if it was because this body’s shell was young, or because the time they had to spend together was getting shorter and shorter, but she seemed to be getting more and more childish, fond of acting spoiled and showing dissatisfaction.
Su Xin took a sip of water, but she didn’t swallow it. Instead, she held it in her mouth, cupped the back of Chu Yanxi’s head, and passed the water over through her lips and tongue.
Tiny droplets of water trickled down because of the movement, dripped down her chin onto her neck, and then flowed into her clothes, bringing a cool sensation.
The water was finished being drunk, but the entanglement did not end.
Su Xin took the opportunity to press Chu Yanxi down, kissing her face.
From her eyebrows and eyes to her chin, and finally, she kissed the corner of her eye.
“Thank you for being able to like me.”
Su Xin pressed her ear against Chu Yanxi’s chest, listening to the sound of her heartbeat.
“I also thank you for being able to like me.”
Chu Yanxi chuckled lightly, her chest vibrating.
Su Xin gently rubbed the back of Chu Yanxi’s hand, a pair of sparkling, watery eyes holding starlight within them.
Chu Yanxi wrapped her arms around her, moving closer to her face.
Tightly intertwined fingers, fine beads of sweat made their palms become moist and scorching hot, but they were still desperately entangled. Every collision was a resonance of the soul.
I love you, just as you love me.
Is there a person who, in your life, was everywhere, yet suddenly disappeared?
For the past few days, Chu Muyu couldn’t hear Lin Xiaohuan’s name, nor could she see Lin Xiaohuan as a person. Only the lone chat box on the social media app could prove that she and this person were once intimate.
Ever since Chu Muyu threw a temper tantrum at the bar last time, everyone knew that her relationship with Lin Xiaohuan wasn’t very good, so no one was so lacking in perception3 as to push forward and mention Lin Xiaohuan.
Besides, Su Xin had only just sung a song; because she didn’t continue to show off4 afterward, gradually not that many people would remember.
This was the reason why Chu Muyu could no longer hear that name.
Chu Muyu felt that she should be happy, because it was very much in line with her need to calm down, but every time she saw that chat box on her phone, that interface that only appears when you are not friends, she felt awful in her heart.
But even though it was awful, she couldn’t bear to swipe it away, because once it was swiped away, it would truly be gone, and those records would also be impossible to see.
Chu Muyu also never thought that she could deceive herself and others5 like this.
Lin Xiaohuan, what on earth should I do with you?
Everything seemed to be silent, yet it was constantly moving forward.
Something else happened around Chu Muyu.
The girl that Chu Muyu saw in Wu Yubing’s house last time actually came looking for Chu Muyu, sobbing and sniffling.
“What’s the use of crying to me? I’m not his new affair partner. Please, I’m his ex-ex-ex-girlfriend, okay?”
As for how many “exes,” how would Chu Muyu know.
Wu Yubing’s circle was very messy. Although she was too, she hadn’t been looking for any boyfriends during this period; she just found two guys and slept with them for a few nights, that’s all.
Wu Yubing would unhappily get off her bed because she was absent-minded, but other guys wouldn’t.
“But… but…”
“You’re not from our school, right?”
Chu Muyu propped up her chin and said with great certainty.
“Right, how did you know?”
“Of the girls in our school, there’s no one who doesn’t know what kind of moral character6 Wu Yubing has. Dating him means you have to be psychologically prepared to be cheated on7 and dumped at any time.”
Chu Muyu snorted with laughter.
“I know ah… but I thought…”
After all, when he told her he liked her, his expression was so focused, as if she were his whole world, his one true love, the princess he held in the palm of his hand.
“Thought you could keep him? Probably every girl who has dated him thought so.”
Thinking that she was special, thinking that her charm could keep him.
Chu Muyu thought about it; wasn’t she exactly this kind of person?
At the very beginning, she didn’t know what kind of moral character Wu Yubing had, but after catching him cheating once, she was already clear, yet she still obstinately persisted in her error.
Now that she had broken away from Wu Yubing and was completely uninterested in him, she felt that the past events were very laughable.
To suddenly awaken to the truth, not letting herself sink deeper into the mire, was something that made her happy just thinking about it.
As Chu Muyu thought this, her expression froze.
Then… to Lin Xiaohuan, could she be a mire that she was unwilling to step into again?
Chu Muyu was clear that it was impossible for her to get back together with Wu Yubing.
Then between her and Lin Xiaohuan, was there still a day when their conflicts could be resolved?
What Chu Muyu relied on most was alcohol.
Alcohol could numb the mind, could make one forget their frustrations.
Having left the noisy environment and the reveling crowd, Chu Muyu stumbled out of the bar and shook her hair.
Chu Muyu, wearing high heels, wandered like a lost soul.
The sky wasn’t too dark yet. Chu Muyu hummed a song, planning to just find a random place to stay.
She didn’t really sleep in a fixed place; that home, she didn’t dare to go back to at all.
If she went back, she wouldn’t be a good child anymore.
A dark shadow suddenly shot out from behind her. Chu Muyu’s eyes widened.
Su Xin was in her room reading a book. She was the only one at home; Chu Yanxi was still working overtime at the company.
Fourteen sounded an alarm in Su Xin’s mind.
【Host, it is detected that Chu Muyu may be in danger. Someone is following behind her, and she is drunk.】
Where?
Su Xin quickly put down her book, took those keys, and went to the doorway to put on her shoes.
It was too easy for Chu Muyu to encounter danger like this; summer, nighttime, a drunk, solitary, beautiful girl… it was hard not to be targeted like this.
Su Xin hated disgusting things like assault the most. If the other party hadn’t first used such a malicious thought, giving them a taste of their own medicine8, she would absolutely not recommend using such an act against a girl.
This would absolutely cause one’s mental defenses to collapse, and could also lead to some bad consequences.
Although Chu Muyu wasn’t very likable, she wasn’t guilty of the most heinous crimes either.
Su Xin hurriedly hailed a taxi and rushed towards the destination.
Fourteen said that Chu Yanxi had already withdrawn the people following her, so Su Xin didn’t have to worry that this abnormality of hers would be known by Chu Yanxi.
【Host, quickly, that person has already made a move.】
Su Xin cursed under her breath while sitting in the taxi and told Fourteen to keep watching.
Hopefully, Chu Muyu can be a bit fierce and struggle a little more.
Chu Muyu’s mouth was covered, and she could only widen her eyes and struggle ceaselessly. She was not yet drunk to the point of being unconscious, and now, being frightened, she was almost sober.
Her underwear was torn open. Chu Muyu clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred.
It’s over.
