Chapter 133
She thought that she could have a quick fight, that after Juan Juan appeared, she would be furious, slap her, and let her go, but the result was like Ling Chi's execution.
Jiang Wu tactfully left, Xia Mu followed Juanjuan into a tea restaurant and sat opposite each other.
Xia Mu took the menu handed over by the waiter, ordered two cups of Ou Lei, looked up numbly and asked the questionnaire: "What kind of dessert do you want to eat?"
Juanjuan looked at her expressionlessly, paused, and replied mockingly: "No need, I'm afraid I won't be able to swallow anything until I hear the explanation."
Xia Mu frowned, and returned the menu to the waiter: "Just two cups of Ou Lei first."
The waiter nodded and left, Xia Mu took a deep breath, looking like a curl, hesitant to speak.
Juanjuan looked down at his watch and forced a smile: "Jiang Wu probably hasn't left the garage yet. If you finish explaining quickly, I can still catch up and beat her up."
"There's nothing to explain." Xia Mu looked up at the scroll and said in a hoarse voice, "I've had enough."
Juanjuan was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, motioning for her to continue.
Xia Mu swallowed, and said the reason she had prepared: "Professor Mirna has already found out, and I can't hide it anyway, so I don't want to continue to go to jail and be trapped in your private house."
Juan tilted his head, wondering: "What did she find?"
Xia Mu raised his chin: "I found out that I was pretending to be sick.
A while ago, my mother wouldn't let me go out, and I was so bored, so I sneaked out for a few days to relax, but I didn't expect you to make such a big fuss and block the whole city.
I was worried that you would accuse me of capriciousness, so I crawled into the museum, pretended to be insane, and managed to fool me.
But I didn't expect that you invited Mirna to treat me.
She has been unable to find the cause of the disease, but she noticed my weakness last night. I begged her not to tell you, but she refused and would confess to you at any time.
In this case, I don't need to hide any more. "
Juanjuan looked at her motionlessly, like a sculpture.
installed?
The whole city was locked down for eight hours, the father's anger, the authority's ban, the overwhelming prosecution and abuse, the search operation of more than two months fell short...
All of them rushed into Juanjuan's mind.
The air of silence was gradually infested with anger.
Xia Mu couldn't bear such silence, and continued to babble: "I know you will be very angry, I didn't want to tell you."
Juanjuan was silent for a long while, finally digested the sudden excitement, raised his eyes and asked her: "This matter seems to have little to do with you sneaking out to watch a movie with your senior."
Xia Mu lowered her head: "Before, I always expected that you would help me find my father, but your authority has been withdrawn. I don't think I need to continue to count on you."
There was another terrible silence.
Juanjuan suddenly let out a miserable laugh, and showed a sarcasm for the first time: "So, are you going to change your hope now?"
Xia Mu didn't speak.
Juanjuan stood up suddenly, her movements were quite graceful, and the chair didn't rub against the floor, she just greeted her with a distant expression: "Excuse me."
The guests at the surrounding tables chatted excitedly.
Xia Mu looked at the back of Juanjuan, holding back his anger, turning around and going to the bathroom.
Just like what was said on the Internet, His Highness is really a humanoid hormone, and he looks so charming when he is angry.
Xia Mu felt that he was probably hopeless, and he couldn't empathize with others in this life.
But Juanjuan will definitely be able to do it, without the trouble of her, he will be able to be a carefree bear cub in the future, without being forced to become mature and responsible.
Duan Zitong pushed open the door of the bathroom, immediately took off his calm disguise, rushed to the side of the sink, and frantically caught the water and slapped his face.
Xia Mu sat at the dining table like a stone sculpture, waiting quietly.
It's all over.
She knows.
So no longer tense, as if already lying in a coffin.
When there was a burst of discussion and the sound of taking pictures on the mobile phone again, Xia Mu knew that Juan Juan had returned.
Her wet curly hair had turned dark brown, like seaweed that had lost its vitality, and it was all pulled back to the back of her head, revealing her entire chiseled face.
The pain and anger that had just been suppressed disappeared from his expression, and he became peaceful. Juanjuan calmly unwrapped the wet towel on the table, wiped off the water on his face, and asked Xia Mu: "What are your plans next?"
"I want to move back home."
Curly nodded with downcast eyes: "What else?"
"I hope you stop sending people to watch me and my family."
"anything else?"
Xia Mu took a deep breath, and when she said it, her voice was still trembling: "I hope we two can calm each other down...for now..."
Juanjuan suddenly chuckled, raised his head and squinted at her, but his pupils were full of self-deprecating self-mockery: "Don't wait, you can just say it, Xia Mu, just say it, I promised you, I won't let you go, I can only trouble you to speak."
Xia Mu's mind went blank for an instant.
Thoughts drifted back to that day, in the abandoned office building, Curly looked intently into her eyes——
"If you are willing to give me your hand, I will never take the initiative to let go."
Even if she thinks about it again, the sense of happiness at that time can still completely overwhelm her.
How nice would it be if time stopped at that moment?
Xia Mu's eyes were hot, and her desperate look gradually blurred in her tears.
As if exhausting all the energy in his body, Xia Mu finally said hoarsely: "Let's break up."
"it is good."
Walking out of the restaurant together, the afternoon sun was a bit dazzling.
It was probably the last time Juanjuan said this sentence, "Shall I take you back?"
Xia Mu shook his head numbly: "I'll go back by myself, you go to work first."
Juanjuan didn't insist, and nodded seriously with his lips pursed: "Let's go first."
"Goodbye." Xia Mu replied tremblingly, then stood at the door of the restaurant, watching Juanjuan turn and leave.
She couldn't even blink.
I don't know if he saw hallucinations again, or Juanjuan didn't want her to watch him leave after all, so he stopped and turned to look at Xia Mu.
Xia Mu bit her lower lip hard to prevent herself from crying.
Juan raised his hand to cover his eyes, then let go, and mouthed to her with a smile: "Follow me."
Xia Mu also smiled, and covered her face with her hands before tears overflowed her eyes.
She knew that when she opened it again, the scroll would disappear.
But this time is different from last time, Juanjuan will never appear again.
Therefore, she was reluctant to open her hands, and finally squatted down slowly covering her face, burying her face in her knees.
-
two months later.
At a quarter past two in the middle of the night, Xia Mu counted his equipment on the bed in the bedroom.
A private gun, seven mini satellite positioning modules, in-ear micro-communicator, laser cutter...
These miscellaneous rags cost almost all of her salary.
Not only are the goods expensive, but the intermediary fees for illegal shopping are also very expensive.
In the silent night, the cell phone rang suddenly, and it was Mirna's call again.
Xia Mu connected to the phone and responded helplessly: "Yes."
Mirna panicked at the other end: "Have you thought it through? Do you really want to do it alone? I'm really not sure..."
Xia Muyun replied calmly: "Professor, don't worry about it. Isn't everything the same as I guessed? I haven't had an illness in the past two months. Letting Juanjuan get away is not only to ensure her safety, but also to keep her safe." Let those people relax their vigilance against me."
Mirna was still very uneasy: "You can explain it to Juanjuan in private, pretend to cut off contact, and then cooperate internally and externally. Isn't it safer?"
Xia Mu smiled bitterly: "Do you think Juanjuan will let me take this risk? The success of this plan does not depend on the strength of external forces, but on myself, you know."
Mirna said anxiously: "But such a plan is really too dangerous, you should be a little patient and let Juanjuan try to continue..."
"I've been waiting patiently for ten years." Xia Mu interrupted her——
"Wait for the police to solve the case, wait for parents to prove their innocence, and wait for the volume to find out the truth."
"As a result, the police investigating the case were changed one by one. Dad was kidnapped, Juanjuan lost his crown prince position, and was attacked by those people as a target..."
"It's over, Professor, it's over, and I can't count on anyone else forever.
In fact, I knew from a young age that the only one who can save me is often myself. "
"It's Juanjuan who dotes on me too much, making me forget the stumbles I've stumbled in the past, allowing me to enjoy her protection with peace of mind and watch her face the wind, frost and snow sword alone."
"So, let's stop here, this is my own business, I have to solve it myself."
"You said that double hypnosis has a [-]% chance of success, and that's enough. If I succeed, I can end all suffering and happily explain everything to Juanjuan."
"if."
"I mean, if I can't come back, if Juanjuan asks me someday, you will say that I have emigrated abroad and have not left any contact information."
On the other end of the phone, Mirna didn't make a sound. After a long time, she replied tremblingly: "I understand, Xia Mu. I hope to see you again."
Xia Mu replied seriously: "I believe it will."
Before hanging up, Mirna suddenly said anxiously: "Also, did I tell you, Xia Mu, you are the bravest and good girl I have ever met."
Xia Mu grinned and joked brazenly: "I think so too."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Mu hid the equipment one by one and put on the jacket.
Finally, she walked to the desk, took out a small box from the drawer, took out the pendant with dragon scales inside, and put it on her neck.
The note was still under the box, Xia Mu opened it carefully, the crooked handwriting on it was still clear.
Ten years ago, in order to protect her, Juanjuan had "a reason to take off".
Ten years later, in order to protect Juanjuan, she has "a reason to be brave".
Putting the box back in the drawer, Xia Mu turned around and opened the window, quickly turned over and disappeared into the boundless night.
