Chapter 211 Where are her family members? What is her name?
"Did you know? The flower shop where she works is called Mu Shi Flower Garden. The 'Mu' in Huo Muchen and the 'Shi' in Liu Shiyin."
Gu Heng whispered to Huo Muchen beside him.
Huo Muchen was slightly taken aback. His face did not show any obvious change in expression, but a trace of unfathomable emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Where are her family members? What's her name?"
Huo Muchen, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked.
Li Qingyou was slightly taken aback, seemingly touched by some emotion in the question, and she answered in a low voice:
"Ah...it seems, it seems all her relatives are gone, she's all alone. Her name is Xu Weiyi,"
After listening, Huo Muchen nodded, seemingly deep in thought. He remained silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said:
"You guys enjoy your meal, I'm leaving now."
Gu Heng and Li Qingyou were both somewhat surprised, but Huo Muchen did not wait for their response before taking a step towards the door.
Did I say something wrong?
Watching Huo Muchen's departing figure, Li Qingyou asked with some concern,
"No, ignore him, that's just how he is."
Gu Heng shook his head, seemingly unconcerned, and said with a smile, "To ease Li Qingyou's tension, Gu Heng deliberately changed the subject."
"Eat more, you're too thin."
As he spoke, he kept putting food on Li Qingyou's plate.
Looking at Gu Heng's concerned gaze and considerate actions, Li Qingyou felt a warmth in her heart. She nodded and smiled, saying:
"Thank you!"
She knew Gu Heng was trying to help her out of a difficult situation and comfort her. So she put aside her worries and continued to enjoy her meal with Gu Heng.
"Mushi Flower Garden"
The night was as dark as ink. Huo Muchen lay in the dimly lit room, his fingers unconsciously running through the fine hair of the woman in his arms. The smooth touch was like flowing water gliding over his fingertips, but it could not take away the heaviness in his heart.
Gu Heng's words, like a whisper in the night wind, lingered in his mind.
Huo Muchen frowned slightly, his brows revealing an indescribable emotion. That emotion was complex and profound, like an undercurrent surging in the night, containing both confusion and struggle, as well as helplessness and exhaustion.
The woman's hair slipped gently from his fingertips, like pearls falling from a broken string, one by one, into his palm.
Huo Muchen snapped out of his reverie and focused his gaze back on the woman's face. Her expression was serene and peaceful, as if she were immersed in her own dream, undisturbed by the outside world.
However, this tranquility contrasted sharply with the restlessness in Huo Muchen's heart. He suddenly felt a sense of disgust, disgust for this monotonous and tedious life, disgust for the helplessness of being bound between desire and responsibility.
Especially when he thought of Liu Shiyin, his disgust surged like a tidal wave.
Huo Muchen stood up, put on his pajamas, and went into the bathroom. He turned on the tap and let the cold water soak his body, washing away his skin and the restlessness and unease in his heart.
He closed his eyes, feeling the coolness and comfort brought by the flowing water, as if he wanted to wash away all his negative emotions with the water.
On the other side, Liu Shiyin, nestled on the sofa, held the remote control tightly in her hand, unable to look away from Huo Muchen's image on the screen.
Seeing Huo Muchen's triumphant appearance on the news, Liu Shiyin felt as if she had been gently pricked by a needle, a feeling that was both painful and itchy.
His smile was so bright and confident, as if the whole world was at his feet.
