Ming Ruo Xiaoxi

Chapter 15

On the terrace of the shepherd's mansion, it was still as quiet as usual.

Ming Xiaoxi's attention was still unable to fully concentrate, she put down the textbook in her hand, looked through the glass of the balcony, and once again looked at those people who were discussing something in the living room.

She could feel that after Mu Liubing became the head of the house, the emotions of the people in Lieyan Hall had changed from the depression and panic when Mu Yingxiong had just passed away, to gradually becoming excited and excited.Their footsteps in and out of here became more and more brisk, their laughter became louder and louder, and their demeanor focused on Mu Liubing became more and more awe-inspiring.Although she never asked about Lieyantang's situation, and Mu Liubing never mentioned it to her, she could still sense that Lieyantang should have gained an advantage in the confrontation with the Haixing Gang.

Especially today, she recognized that the dozen or so people who came to the living room of the Mu family's mansion were all important leaders of Lie Yan Tang, and they sat around Mu Liubing seriously and attentively, listening to him whispering to them some orders.Ming Xiaoxi knew that what they were discussing at the moment must be very important, because their expressions were serious and excited, and there was a wild domineering look at the corners of their eyes and brows.Her eyes stayed on Mu Liubing again.

Mu Liubing...

It seems that he is no longer the cold and beautiful boy when she first met him.

The word "juvenile" is becoming less and less suitable for him.Although he is not yet 19 years old, the solemnity between his brows and the murderous aura exuding from his whole body made everyone who saw him dare not look at him.His eyes did not know when, but they were no longer as clear as crystal, but became as cold as ice and snow; although his face was still incomparably handsome, but that beauty had more cruel lines.

When did these changes happen to him?Ming Xiaoxi wondered how long she hadn't observed him carefully.Time is passing, things are happening one by one, but her understanding of him is still in the past.What is Mu Liubing doing and thinking now, and how much does she know?Just like at this moment, Mu Liubing was ordering and explaining something to his subordinates, his expression was a bit sinister, and his eyes were a bit cruel.Ming Xiaoxi couldn't hear what he was talking about, and she didn't want to know what he was talking about. Her intuition told her that what he said must be full of blood.

After an unknown amount of time, Ming Xiaoxi, who was meditating on the textbook, felt a cool hand on her shoulder.

She raised her head and smiled at the tired Mu Liubing, "You're here."

Mu Liubing sat on the bamboo chair beside her and stretched her legs.He looked at her with soft eyes, "what are you doing?"

Ming Xiaoxi showed him the book, smiled wryly and said, "I'm reviewing my homework. The final exam is coming soon, and I want to get a good grade to make my parents happy."

"Is the final exam coming soon?" Mu Liubing flipped through her textbook, "I forgot about it."

She looked at him, and suddenly said softly: "Bing..."

"..." He looked up at her, waiting for her to speak.

Ming Xiaoxi bit her lips lightly, "When are you going back to school? You haven't gone to class for a long time."

Mu Liubing frowned, he hesitated, and said in a low voice, "I don't have time."

"I know!" She responded eagerly, "I know you have a lot of things to do now, and you don't have time to go to school, and it's not convenient to go to school. But, but... what about the future? Do you have any plans?"

He didn't speak for a long time, just staring at her deeply.There was something deep in his eyes that frightened her.

"Say it!" Ming Xiaoxi urged him nervously.His eyes suddenly looked very strange, "What if... I never go to class again?"

"No!!" Her complexion suddenly turned pale.She stared at Mu Liubing, gritted her teeth and said, "You can't just terminate your studies like this!"

He was silent for a while, then frowned and whispered, "Why?"

"Why? Ha, you actually asked why?" Ming Xiaoxi laughed, "Aren't you going to become an idiot like Tie Shaxing?! You don't know anything, you don't know anything, you just rely on the industrial mess left by your ancestors Eat and drink like a parasite?! If you leave here, if you start over, what will you do to support yourself, what will you do to live in this world?"

"Get out of here...start over..." He repeated her words in a murmur, as if thinking.

Ming Xiaoxi only felt that her heart was cooling down little by little, and she was falling down little by little. She lost her voice: "Don't tell me...you haven't thought about leaving here and starting again?!"

Mu Liubing was startled, his eyes became very strange, but he didn't speak.Her heart had fallen to the bottom of the cold valley, she closed her eyes, not knowing what to say.

After being silent for a while, she said slowly in a very low voice: "No matter what you plan to do in the future, you must not give up your studies now... otherwise..."

"What else?" he asked.

"Otherwise," Ming Xiaoxi said angrily, "I will look down on you! I don't want to be with a guy who doesn't understand shit and only knows how to fight! No matter how hard I try, I won't like an idiot! I definitely won't like it The last idiot!!"

"Xiaoxi." Mu Liubing stretched out his hand to pull the excited her.

"Don't touch me!" Ming Xiaoxi punched him in the chest angrily.

He didn't move and let her hit him, insisting on stretching out his hand to pull her into his arms, hugged her gently, and suddenly smiled softly, "Don't be angry, I'm just teasing you."

"Ah?" She blinked blankly, staying in his arms without struggling.

Mu Liubing's voice sounded softly beside her ears, "You know what? You have been so depressed these past few days that you have nothing to say to me. I'm really not used to facing you like this. He hugged her tightly, "I want you to care about me, even if you accuse me angrily, it's a thousand times better than indifference."

"How could I be indifferent to you?" Ming Xiaoxi's heart twisted suddenly.She buried her face in the clothes on his chest and mumbled, "I just don't know what to say, what to hear..."

"What are you talking about?" Her voice was too low for Mu Liubing to hear clearly.

Ming Xiaoxi raised his head.Her eyes are as bright as stars and as clear as water.She stared at him, "If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't come here whenever I have time, just to see if you're okay. I don't talk because I don't care about you, it's just because—— "

"Because of what?" Her eyes were astonishingly bright, and the emotion in them was deeper than the sea. "It's just because——I'm stupid. I don't want to hurt you by casually speaking."

Mu Liubing brushed her warm cheeks with his cool fingertips trembling slightly.Then, he lowered his head and kissed gently on the intoxicated red glow that suddenly flew up on her cheek.After a long time, he smiled lightly at her and said, "I promise you. I'll go back to school and continue my studies when things here are sorted out."

"Really?" Ming Xiaoxi smiled in surprise.But immediately, a question rushed to her mouth - when will you finish the matter?What happened to Iron Banner?She used all her strength to swallow back the questions that had been troubling her mind.

But Mu Liubing seemed to see her doubts, and smiled lightly, "You don't have to worry about me. The matter of the Haixing Gang will be resolved soon."

These words hit Ming Xiaoxi like lightning!It took her several minutes to slowly digest the meaning of his words, and then, the joy slowly expanded and rippled like ripples.

She smiled, and then laughed even bigger, and even her white teeth gleamed with joy, "You did it? You defeated the Iron Banner? How did you do it? How was it possible in such a short time? I thought It will take many, many years..."

Mu Liubing smiled strangely, "You wouldn't want to know how I dealt with Tie Daqi."

She observed him for a while, then suddenly shook her head and chuckled, "I don't want to know, but I'm still very happy. Have I ever told you that I hate them too. So, no matter what method you use, I don't Will sympathize with him. I am only concerned for your safety."

Mu Liubing seemed to be relieved, he smiled happily, "Xiaoxi, wait a few more days, and the Iron Banner will become history."

In a few days?hope everything is fine.Ming Xiaoxi gently hugged Mu Liubing's body, and quietly closed her eyes.

This day was the first day of Feng Jianche's art exhibition.

Early in the morning, the well-dressed Dong Haoxue kicked open the door of Ming Xiaoxi's apartment with a large bouquet of fiery red roses, and mercilessly grabbed her from the bed.Poor Ming Xiaoxi didn't go to bed until five o'clock in the morning after reviewing her homework the night before, and was brutally shaken awake before she had slept for a few hours.She fell asleep so poorly that she had a splitting headache. Not only did she not get Dong Haoxue's sympathy, but she was cruelly ridiculed as a "big slob".

Ming Xiaoxi rubbed her still sleepy eyes, and walked into the art exhibition center with Dong Haoxue.

Dong Haoxue urged her nervously, "Sister Ming, can you cheer up, it's very rude of you to be so listless to Brother Che."

Ming Xiaoxi desperately wanted to open her eyes wide, but her eyelids were still sticking together involuntarily. She sighed and said, "I don't want to either, but I'm really sleepy."

Dong Haoxue complained to her: "Hmph, knowing that today is brother Che's art exhibition, why did he stay up so late?"

Ming Xiaoxi was very wronged, "I originally wanted to come in the afternoon, how did I know you would come to see me so early."

She glanced at the delicate red rose in Dong Haoxue's arms, frowned and said, "Are you going to give this?"

Dong Haoxue hugged the rose even tighter, and said sweetly: "Yes. I want Brother Che to understand my intentions."

Ming Xiaoxi glanced at her, then at her again, and couldn't help but say, "Xiaoxue, you're very strange, do you know that?"

"..."

Dong Haoxue opened his eyes wide.She went on to say, "You like Senior Che, and you want Senior Che to like you. I know it all, and I support you very much."

Dong Haoxue nodded. "But why do you always drag me to accompany you?"

Ming Xiaoxi shook her head, "Don't you think there are many things that are more convenient for you and the senior alone? Don't you think my light bulb is in the way?"

Dong Haoxue scratched her head and looked at her inexplicably, "I don't think sister Ming is a light bulb. Only when you are by my side can I muster up infinite courage. Because no matter what happens, you will protect me and support me. , isn't it?"

Ming Xiaoxi stared at her, this little guy, is he stupid or smart.

Dong Haoxue pushed her, "Sister Ming, let's stop talking nonsense, let's find Brother Che first."

She stood on tiptoe and looked around, "Oh, why are there so many people so early? Where is Brother Che?"

"There." Ming Xiaoxi pointed.Dong Haoxue looked intently, and there was a large group of people in the direction sister Ming was pointing at, but she didn't seem to find Feng Jianche's shadow, "You lied to me, why can't I see brother Che?"

"Idiot," Ming Xiaoxi applauded her, "Senior Che will definitely be the focus of the crowd as long as he appears. You can tell where he is just by looking at the most crowded place. What's more, all the reporters are concentrated in that one place , the flashing lights kept flashing, Senior Che must be in the middle of the crowd surrounded closely, of course you couldn’t see it.”

Dong Haoxue looked at her adoringly, "Wow, sister Ming, you must be the second smartest person in the world."

"Who is the first?" She was curious.

"Stupid! I take back the compliment I gave you just now." Dong Haoxue rolled her eyes, solemnly declared, and then stared at her like an idiot, "Of course the smartest person in the world is Brother Che!"

Feng Jianche was indeed in the center of the crowd, countless guests were praising him, countless reporters were asking him questions, countless flashing lights were flashing at him, and countless girls were presenting flowers to him.Today, the thoughts of the girls seem to be surprisingly similar. The roses in his arms are beyond count, so many that they keep falling to the ground.Surrounded by flowers and praises, Feng Jianche still looks so far away, so outstanding, the smile between his brows is faint, and he has a temperament that is floating in the dust.

When he saw Ming Xiaoxi and Dong Haoxue through the crowd, his eyes suddenly lit up.He motioned to the staff of the art exhibition center to take over the flowers in his arms, and then said something to the people surrounding him, only to see that the crowd immediately flashed a passage for him to walk towards them with a smile.

Dong Haoxue fiddled with the red rose in her hand in frustration, and said disappointedly: "Why do those girls have no creativity at all, but why do they want to send the same roses as me?"

Ming Xiaoxi laughed dumbly, "Then what should you do?"

Dong Haoxue looked at Feng Jianche who was getting closer and closer, and quietly hid the flowers behind his back, "I don't want Brother Che to think I'm vulgar, so I won't send any flowers."

Ming Xiaoxi glanced at her who was full of disappointment, reached out and grabbed her rose, and smiled lightly: "If you don't want it, then give it to me."

Ming Xiaoxi smiled brightly, and she gave the bouquet of bright roses to Feng Jianche, "Senior, I wish you a successful art exhibition!"

Feng Jianche was slightly startled, and stared at her, "This flower..."

"Are these roses beautiful? Do you like them?" Ming Xiaoxi beamed with joy, staring at the bewildered Dong Haoxue intentionally or unconsciously.

His eyes suddenly brightened, and he smiled softly, "The person who chose such a beautiful flower must have put a lot of thought into it, and I want to thank her very much." Dong Haoxue smiled like a flower, beaming with joy, "Che Brother, you like it, I was early in the morning..." She began to talk endlessly about her experience of "buying flowers bravely", and she couldn't find the disappointed and sad look just now.

Feng Jianche stared at Ming Xiaoxi, and suddenly frowned, "Xiaoxi, why is your face so ugly? Are you sick?"

Ming Xiaoxi yawned uncontrollably, "I'm fine, just a little sleepy."

"Sister Ming drove all night to review her homework, and she didn't go to bed until five o'clock today."

"Why are you working so hard?" Feng Jianche shook his head, "Physical health is the most important thing. If there is any problem, I can help. Don't make yourself so tired. Look at the size of your dark circles."

It's okay not to mention, when it comes to sleep, drowsiness, and tiredness, Ming Xiaoxi starts to feel a splitting headache again, shaking around.She closed her eyes uncomfortably.Feng Jianche held her shoulders, "Are you sad? What's wrong?"

"My head hurts a bit." She closed her eyes and murmured.

A warm hand touched Ming Xiaoxi's forehead, and his slender and strong fingers began to massage her head with moderate strength.That is really a magic hand, Ming Xiaoxi wanted to sigh comfortably, all the places pressed by his fingers immediately became as easy as feathers.If you never stop, you will be massaged like this forever, then life is really beautiful.

"Xiaoxi," Feng Jianche was a little worried, "You seem to have a fever, I'll accompany you to see a doctor later."

Ming Xiaoxi was about to speak, when suddenly there was a great commotion and exclamation in the center of the painting exhibition, which attracted everyone's attention...

The flashing lights came one after another, shining brightly, the reporters flew over like flies, and the girls screamed softly: "What a beautiful man..." This time, the encirclement circle of the crowd did not form, and the murderous aura on the visitors seemed to be an invisible wave. It is a barrier so that no one dares to get too close, and dare not block his way.He walked straight towards Feng Jianche, but his eyes were fixed on Ming Xiaoxi beside Feng Jianche.

Ming Xiaoxi opened his eyes wide, watching the stern Mu Liubing approach step by step.Hitomi and a dozen strong men from Lie Yan Hall followed closely behind him.Feng Jianche's hand left Ming Xiaoxi's forehead, he hesitated for a moment, looked worriedly at Mu Liubing, then at Ming Xiaoxi.

"Bing..." Ming Xiaoxi called him nervously, wondering if he might have misunderstood, things were not what he thought.

Standing in front of Feng Jianche, Mu Liubing shifted his gaze from the somewhat embarrassed Ming Xiaoxi's face to Feng Jianche who was smiling calmly.He stared at those eyes that were as clear and far away as mountain springs. After a long silence, he suddenly smiled. The smile was weak but enough, "Che, I wish you a successful exhibition."

Feng Jianche also smiled, his smile was very sincere, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is everything?"

Mu Liubing's eyes suddenly showed a very complicated expression, which made Ming Xiaoxi's heart flustered instantly.

She asked him gently: "Bing, are you okay..."

Mu Liubing smiled at her, the smile diluted the icy aura on his body a lot, "I'm fine."

"Did you come to see the senior's art exhibition?" Ming Xiaoxi continued to ask.

"That's right." Mu Liubing looked at Feng Jianche and smiled, "We really haven't seen each other for a long time."

Feng Jianche patted him on the shoulder, said with a smile: "Take time to call Haonan, let's get together."

Mu Liubing nodded.At this time, more and more people came to visit the art exhibition center, and Feng Jianche was surrounded by the crowd again.Ming Xiaoxi followed Mu Liubing and the others casually, stopping in front of a certain painting from time to time to admire it quietly.

Dong Haoxue sneaked up and said in a low voice: "Sister Ming, why do I feel that Brother Mu is very different from before, he has become weird and scary, I dare not even talk to him."

Ming Xiaoxi was startled, and his eyes flew to Mu Liubing.He was dressed in white, standing with his hands behind his back, as handsome as an ice statue.But it was too cold and too stern, so that the girls around only dared to admire it from a distance, but none of them had the courage to come forward to strike up a conversation.He just stood there, as if he was alone in the world, and everything in the world had nothing to do with him.No matter how many people there were in the center of the exhibition, they seemed to be involuntarily running away from him within a radius of two meters.Among the crowd coming and going, he looked extraordinarily weird and lonely.Her heart suddenly tightened, a kind of pity and reluctance made her walk to his side, and gently stood beside him, very close to him.

He turned his head and saw that it was her, the coldness in his eyes disappeared quickly, revealing a little joy.

"I didn't know you would come today." Ming Xiaoxi said, "If I knew, I would come with you."

"It's okay, you don't need to explain to me." Mu Liubing took her hand, then looked at the oil painting on the wall, and whispered, "Che's painting is beautiful, isn't it?" Ming Xiaoxi nodded, "Senior's painting It's brilliant. But..."

"..."

Mu Liubing waited for her to continue. "But you didn't come to see the painting, your mind and attention are not in this place at all. Including Tong Tong and all the people you brought, they are all nervous and out of their minds," Ming Xiaoxi frowned, "Bing, what the hell What happened? Will it be serious?" Mu Liubing clenched her hand a little bit, his palm felt strangely hot, "Be patient, you will know."

There was a sudden wild light in his eyes, lighting up his face.

Two hours later, when Mu Liubing and Ming Xiaoxi bid farewell to Feng Jianche and were about to leave the exhibition center, dozens of reporters suddenly swarmed in from the entrance.All of them were excited, their eyes were shining, they were holding cameras, microphones, and video cameras, rushing over like fighting a war.Strangely, their target is not Feng Jianche, the protagonist of the exhibition, but Mu Liubing, who suddenly has a sneer on his lips.

"Master Mu! Is the attack on the Haixing Gang related to Lieyantang?!"

"Master Mu! How do you feel about Haixing Gang's sudden blow to the top?!"

"Master Mu! Will Lieyantang fully accept the Haixing Gang?!"

"Master Mu! Is the attack on the Haixing Gang related to your assassination some time ago?!"

"Master Mu! The whereabouts of the iron banner is unknown, do you think he has been killed?!"

"Master Shepherd..."

"Master Shepherd..."

"Master Shepherd..."

The reporters asked questions like machine guns, but Mu Liubing just remained silent.

After repeated questioning, he forced the disrespectful reporters away with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "I'm here to visit the art exhibition, and I don't know anything about your questions."

"Is Tie Daqi sure to die? Will you let him go?" A young reporter who seemed to have just joined the Tao still asked him without fear of death.

Before he could finish his words, two big men rushed out from behind Mu Liubing, one covered the little reporter's mouth, and the other grabbed the little reporter's shoulder and dragged him out fiercely.The rest of the reporters were frightened, and no one dared to say anything more.

Mu Liubing snorted coldly: "Get out of the way."

The reporters hurriedly flashed the widest road in a second.

He smiled at Feng Jianche, the smile was light, even a little distant, "I'm sorry to disturb your art exhibition."

Feng Jianche stared at him, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

Mu Liubing turned to Ming Xiaoxi who was silent, and said, "Follow me."

"Sister Ming!" Dong Haoxue grabbed her clothes subconsciously, trying to stop her, "No..."

Ming Xiaoxi looked at Dong Haoxue who kept shaking her head and Feng Jianche who was full of worries, and smiled softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't forget, I am the invincible Ming Xiaoxi..."
