In the evening, Club No. 1.
Aguang took some of Xu Youning's favorite food, took the elevator to the second underground floor, and knocked on the last door.
"Who?" Xu Youning's defensive voice came from inside.
"Sister Youning, it's me." Aguang tried his best to keep his tone light, "I'm here to see you."
"A Guang?" Xu Youning's voice became relaxed, "Come in."
A Guang scanned his palm prints, opened the door and walked in, looking at Xu Youning sitting on the bed.
He could hardly remember the first scene with Xu Youning, but he knew very well how he fell in love with Xu Youning.
In his impression, there were only two types of women following Musijue.
One is a woman in a romantic place, with a charming sex appeal. Every part seems to be made according to aesthetic standards. She is an absolute stunner. But if you see it too much, you will inevitably get tired of aesthetics.
The other type works for Musijue. He is always expressionless, always ruthless and decisive, and surprisingly powerful. Sometimes he is even more bloodthirsty than a big man like him.
As for Xu Youning, she does not belong to any one type. She is between these two types of women, with both beauty and courage.
Xu Youning can be incredibly beautiful, or he can be cold-faced and lick blood from the tip of a knife. He is impartial, which is exactly the type he likes.
It's a pity that Xu Youning likes Mu Sijue.
That morning, when he saw Xu Youning walking out of Mu Sijue's apartment, he could only tell himself silently that his happiness was not far away.
But in the end, neither he nor Musijue could be happy.
Xu Youning looked at the complicated expression on A Guang's face, raised the corners of his lips and asked, "What time is it? There's no sun here, and there's no clock or anything. I don't even know when it's time to go to bed."
A Guang looked at his watch: "It's eight o'clock in the evening."
"At night?" Xu Youning laughed, "I just slept, I thought it was morning now."
"Sister Youning..." Aguang couldn't be as relaxed as Xu Youning, and he hesitated in embarrassment.
Xu Youning looked at Aguang funny: "Speak directly if you have something to say. Hesitation is not your style. I have heard the worst news in the world and lost the most important person. Believe me, nothing is me now. unacceptable."
Aguang murmured for a moment and said hesitantly: "Brother Qi ordered me... to deal with you in secret tomorrow night."
Aguang's words went around in Xu Youning's mind, and then around again.
Then, Xu Youning accepted this fact and said "Oh" without paying much attention: "I understand."
A Guang's eyes gradually became surprised - Xu Youning's indifferent reaction was beyond his expectation. He thought Xu Youning would at least be shocked when he heard the news, or at least be surprised for a moment.
But there was none, she just said a faint "Oh", as if what she lost tomorrow was not her only life, but just an insignificant object.
Xu Youning saw through Aguang's doubts and shrugged: "Anyway, I don't want to live anymore. It's okay if Mu Sijue asks you to kill me. It saves me having to find a way to commit suicide in this hellish place."
"Sister Youning." Aguang stepped forward suddenly, hugged Xu Youning, and held Xu Youning's hand at the same time, "Didn't Aunt Sun tell you? Your grandma's biggest wish before she left was that you could live well. Don’t give up just like that, okay?”
After saying that, he calmly put something on Xu Youning's palm.
Xu Youning was surprised, and felt from the outline that what A Guang gave her was a key. She squeezed it tightly, with a thin layer of sweat on her palms: "A Guang..."
"Do you want to go or not? I'll leave the choice to you." Aguang interrupted Xu Youning and held her hand tightly. "This is your last chance. If you give up, you will definitely regret it because... the fact is that it's not you. That's what I thought." There was only so much he could say.
Xu Youning knew what A Guang was implying, but she chose to play dumb and smiled coldly: "The truth? The truth is that my grandma is gone and will never come back!" She pushed A Guang away, "If I don't die, I won’t let Musijue go!”
A Guang shook his head, with disappointment in his eyes: "In your mind, is Brother Qi the kind of person who would attack innocent old people?"
"You have been following Mu Sijue longer than me. Shouldn't you know Mu Sijue's ruthlessness better than me?" Xu Youning raised the corners of his lips mockingly, "Don't tell me that you think Mu Sijue is a good person. It's not funny."
The regret in Ah Guang's eyes finally turned into disappointment. She looked at Xu Youning and said nonsensically: "Maybe Seventh Brother's decision is right. Tomorrow... you can decide for yourself whether you want to leave or not. This is my last time." help you."
After saying that, A Guang left without looking back.
He knew very well that Grandma Xu was like an obsession in Xu Youning's heart. After losing his only relative, Xu Youning almost fell into a state of madness. She probably wouldn't believe a word of Mu Sijue's words.
Therefore, maybe Mu Sijue's decision not to tell her the truth was right. Only by letting Xu Youning discover it on his own would she believe that the real culprit who killed Grandma Xu was not Mu Sijue. Tell her bluntly and she will just take it as a lie.
inside the room.
Xu Youning stood there, listening to A Guang's footsteps getting farther and farther. Not long after, the second underground floor returned to its original quietness, and she finally couldn't hear anything anymore.
Never heard of it again.
Xu Youning sat on the bed as if she was exhausted, staring blankly at the lights on the ceiling, unconsciously clutching the key A Guang gave her.
tomorrow…
Her future fate depends entirely on tomorrow.
…
MJ Technologies.
The secretary put the coffee in Mu Sijue's hand, thought about it, and reminded Mu Sijue before leaving: "Mr. Mu, it's already very late."
Mu Sijue looked at the time, it was ten o'clock sharp, without even raising his head: "You guys get off work first."
The secretary's lips parted, obviously he had something to say, but in the end he didn't say anything and left the office silently.
She just felt weird.
Mu Sijue is not a workaholic in the strict sense, and he is very efficient at work. He usually leaves the company after finishing things, especially in the past two months. Sometimes he leaves early, and his mood seems to be very different. very nice.
It has been a long time since he stayed in the company until this time.
The secretary could easily think of what Yang Shanshan said in the morning: "Xu Youning is an undercover agent sent by your enemy!"
Mu Sijue's mood... was affected by Xu Youning, right? In this situation, she didn't dare to speak even if she had ten courages.
Inside the office.
Musijue looked at the steaming black coffee, picked it up and put it down again, and opened a document that would be processed tomorrow.
But after reading less than half a line, those square characters transformed into Xu Youning's face, and a smile appeared in front of his eyes.
He closed his eyes and pressed his temples heavily, trying to drive Xu Youning's face out of his mind, but unexpectedly, it backfired. Xu Youning's face not only did not disappear, but also brought out fragments of them together.
Only then did he realize that he had remembered every detail of his relationship with Xu Youning so clearly. Even the curve of the corners of her mouth when she smiled seemed to be engraved in his mind, extremely clear.
"I like you!"
When Xu Youning said these four words to him in the ward, there was a sense of futility in his eyes, as if he had exhausted all his strength just for love.
For a few moments, he almost believed Xu Youning's words.
But just a dozen hours ago, Xu Youning told him that it was all a show.
With a "pop" sound, Musijue closed the document, stood up and left the office.
The driver received the news that Mu Sijue was coming downstairs and drove the car to the door of the company to wait for him. When he saw him coming out, he hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door: "Mr. Mu, are you going back to your old house or your apartment?"
Musijue: "Go to Club No. 1."
The driver was surprised for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
It was so late, and if there was nothing going on in the club, Mu Sijue rarely went there, but thinking that Xu Youning was locked up in Club No. 1, the driver suddenly didn't think it was strange anymore.
When they arrived at the club, Musijue told the driver: "Don't wait for me, you go back first."
After saying that, he got out of the car with long legs and walked straight into the club.
After entering the elevator, his eyes scanned the floor boards, and finally pressed the top button.
It was so late, and there was obviously nothing going on, so he didn't know why he came here.
Looking at Xu Youning? Oh, this is so ironic.
However, Xu Youning's presence in this place is indeed the reason why he came here.
As soon as Mu Sijue got out of the elevator, the club manager immediately followed him: "Brother Qi, you need..."
"No need." There was a terrifying coldness in Musijue's voice, "Don't let anyone come in without my permission."
The manager nodded: "I understand."
Mu Sijue locked himself in the office and did not turn on the light. He just lit a cigarette and smoked it casually. The smoke lingered between his frowning eyebrows, but it could not hide the depth of his eyes.
As time passed, the number of cigarette butts on the ashtray gradually increased, but the lights outside the window dimmed one after another. As early morning came, half of the city fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Sijue looked at the time, it was two-thirty in the morning.
He left the office, entered the elevator and pressed several numbers in succession. The elevator descended floor by floor and finally stopped on the second underground floor.
On this floor, there is no sound when the elevator opens the door. The light-recognizable steel door slowly slides open to both sides, and the sensor lights in the corridor outside light up one by one.
He walked out and stopped in front of Xu Youning's door under the light. He stood for a moment, scanned his palm prints, opened the door, and walked in quietly.
Xu Youning didn't notice anything at all. He curled up on a small bed in a posture like a baby when it was still in the mother's womb.
She closed her eyes and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep as she usually did when she fell asleep next to him.
Mu Sijue stretched out his hand and slowly approached Xu Youning, but finally stopped next to her cheek.
What's the use of touching it? Xu Youning will not believe him. After tomorrow, if she does not die, they will be sworn enemies.
Mu Sijue slowly retracted his hand, just like letting go of Xu Youning little by little, slowly pulling her away from the heart. Although there was a dull pain somewhere in his body, this kind of pain would not give He makes no impact.
Finally, Musijue's hands returned to his sides, clenched into fists, and turned around to leave.
A long time later, Musijue dreamed back to this moment, and could only wake up from regret every time he left.
If he had listened to the voice in his heart and touched Xu Youning, if he had risked his life to tell her the whole truth like Xu Youning had confessed to him at the beginning, instead of asking her to stay without expressing his feelings, then everything that happened later might not be like that. … (To be continued)
