Back in the room, Qiao Muer took the small red leather box that Yue Zheng had given her, leaned back, and sank into the soft bed.
"Huh... How boring! Sending such a cold thing again..."
Lying on the bed, he opened the gift box and looked at the expensive yet cold diamond watch inside.
The mirror surface, shining with a cold light, seemed to reflect Yue Zheng's cold and aloof face.
Yue Zheng was not like this when he was a child.
But since we parted ten years ago, many things seem to have changed.
"An... An..."
These two words came out of my mouth unconsciously.
This name has become so unfamiliar, as if it was just yesterday, but it has long been nothing.
In fact, Qiao Muer didn’t know why her relationship with Yue Zheng had become like this.
When they were young, they were so close, they would bicker and make up with each other.
The blue-eyed boy liked to bully her with his sharp tongue, but he would also coax her and protect her.
Compared with the cold and distant Yue Zheng now, it seems as if they have become two different people.
Ten years will indeed change many things and many people.
…
That night, Qiao Muer did not go downstairs for dinner, citing a headache as an excuse.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she subconsciously didn't want to face Yue Zheng and didn't want to stay in the same space with him.
Because Qiao Muer was not feeling well, dinner was brought to her by Aunt Zhang, and her godmother Yue Xinluo and Lu Yan both came to see her.
The godmother didn't notice anything, but Lu Yan, who was one year younger than her, stared at her for a long time with her cold and gloomy peach blossom eyes.
Compared to the confused Lu Tiantian, what Qiao Muer can't resist the most is Lu Yan's eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts.
"Yan Yan, what are you looking at?" Qiao Muer couldn't help but ask after taking a sip of soup.
The frail girl with porcelain-white skin and long black hair sitting on the recliner opposite her blinked expressionlessly: "I didn't see anything... I just thought that you had a good appetite."
Qiao Muer smiled sweetly: "It's all because of Aunt Zhang's delicious soup. Aunt Zhang's cooking skills are really better than those of a Michelin chef."
"Really?" Lu Yan curled her lips, her beautiful peach blossom eyes exuding a cool aura, "But you have a headache, how can you eat so much?"
Qiao Muer: "I..."
The girl's almond-shaped eyes flickered, and she thought to herself, "Oh no, how could she forget her own personality?"
She is a patient now and is not feeling well...
Lu Yan saw Qiao Muer's annoyance, but did not expose her. She just leaned against the armrest and said in a cold voice, "Isn't your reaction to my second brother a bit too much? Although you had a quarrel when you were children, you haven't seen each other for ten years. Muer, you are not avoiding my second brother, are you?"
"No, how could that be... Why would I hide from him?" Qiao Muer shook her head and firmly denied it.
Lu Yan smiled: "That would be great if it's not the case. Then go to bed early because you have to go to school tomorrow."
As she spoke, she stood up, and before leaving the house, she suddenly leaned against the door frame and looked back at Qiao Muer who was still drinking soup.
"By the way, since you're not hiding from him, you can take his car to school tomorrow morning. I'm going to the activity center tomorrow, and the driver has to take me there."
“What…” The soup spoon in Qiao Muer’s hand fell into the bowl with a clang.
She and Lu Yan are in the same school, one in the third year of high school and the other in the second year.
Usually in the morning, the two of them would go to school together by bus.
"Why, you don't want to?" Lu Yan leaned against the door and asked with a smile.
"No." In order to avoid appearing to be special to Yue Zheng, Qiao Muer said without thinking.
"But, you are brother and sister, wouldn't it be better for you to take his car? Let the driver take me."
"No." Lu Yan raised the corners of her lips, and looked at Qiao Mu'er like this, showing a rare playful smile, "I like someone, but I don't like being with him. It's settled, go to bed early, Mu'er."
