Chapter 61: She's My Task (Today's Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Reward)
Pei Yao searched from the wardrobe for a long time before she found a turquoise cardigan dress similar to Song Keci's usual dress, and changed into a dress without thinking too much......
Opened the bead curtain, bypassed the jade screen, and appeared in front of Mu Chuyu in a slim manner: "How is it?" Like? β
At this moment, Pei Yao has already changed her appearance to Song Keci, and with this green dress, I am afraid that even Song Yi will not be able to distinguish between true and false.
Mu Chuyu stood up from the round table, with a little bit of the son's ruffian aura and a little bit of distraction. He walked up to Pei Yao and said seriously: "Don't laugh! Then he gently pinched her chin with the tiger's mouth and moved it to the other side: "Well, looking at it this way, it really looks like Lu Shang!" β
Pei Yao: "......"
Pei Yao was stunned by his answer, and shook off Mu Chuyu's hand uncomfortably: "Mu Chuyu!" Are you still thinking about Lu Shang? β
"Where? Just kidding you! Resemble! Indeed like! Mu Chuyu grinned.
"But!" Pei Yao glanced up at Mu Chuyu with a thoughtful look, "There is one thing missing, it is more similar!" β
Mu Chuyu put his hands on his waist, and instantly pointed out that the index finger of his right hand and Pei Yao said in unison: "Blue Water Sword!" β
"You are the only one who borrowed the blue water sword, you can help me borrow it!" Pei Yao threw him a look meaningfully, which meant "you know"!
Mu Chuyu bit her lower lip and stared at Pei Yao motionlessly, as if she was not very happy in her heart. However, what Pei Yao said is not unreasonable, you can't let him provoke a little girl, and let Pei Yao, who has already pretended to be Song Keci, borrow the blue water sword from Song Keci, right?
After weighing it several times, Mu Chuyu sighed as if he was still there: "Okay! I'll borrow it for you! You're waiting for me here! β
Pei Yao happily patted Mu Chuyu's chest and assured her, "Don't worry!" Don't run around! β
Mu Chuyu soon stayed outside Song Keci's residence, but his steps were unstable, and his mind was also hesitant.
It's not that he felt guilty because he acquiesced in Pei Yao's opening Song Keci's letter, but because he had actually noticed that Song Keci's demeanor was a little abnormal after he walked out of the Chen Mansion. It's just that...... He was too embarrassed to ask her what was going on? I don't dare to care about her!
Women like Song Keci are different from other ladies or small jasper. They are knowledgeable, understand righteousness, try not to be invisible, and know how to manage their emotions and expressions better! But today, Song Keci lost his temper in front of Mu Chuyu and even many people...... This made Mu Chuyu feel scared - what kind of thing would make Song Keci unusually him? Did Song Keci find anything?
That's it, it's come to this, and it's useless to think too much! Mu Chuyu cut off the last tight string in her mind and knocked on Song Keci's room hard.
"Brother Mu? It's you! Her tone was flat and unhurried.
"Hmm!" Mu Chuyu nodded, and asked for words, "Keci, are you just going to have dinner?" β
"Just after dinner, the maids cleaned up!" Song Keci lowered his eyebrows and stepped aside to leave room for Mu Chuyu to enter the door.
After Mu Chuyu entered the door, she stood restless at the round table, her fingers rubbing the tablecloth, and she considered how to speak.
Song Keci closed the door and walked to his side, but took the lead in asking, "Is there anything important for Brother Mu to find me?" But it doesn't hurt to say it! Why be so embarrassed? β
Mu Chuyu subconsciously touched the "embarrassed" face that Song Keci saw through at a glance: "Keci, I want to borrow the blue water sword to use?" β
Song Keci was startled, and the hand that poured the tea also trembled, and half of the tea seeped out and spilled on the tablecloth.
"What is the use of Brother Mu borrowing the blue water sword?" The suspicion in Song Keci's eyes gradually faded.
"This-this-" Mu Chuyu stroked his forehead and looked at the beam, the tip of his tongue trembled, "I just want to feel it againβthe smart and changeable swordsmanship of the Bishui Sword." β
This lie is too clumsy, it is impossible for Song Keci not to see through it, but Mu Chuyu's short sentence made her recall the past of the two in Bishui Villa, and she couldn't help but feel hot in her heart.
"Brother Mu! I think you should know very well how important the Blue Water Sword is to me! β
"Of course I do!" Mu Chuyu didn't understand what she meant.
"I can lend it to you! Lend me the most important man in my heart! Song Keci looked at him firmly.
Mu Chuyu's palms were so frightened by this sudden affectionate and serious words that he sweated.
"However, before I lend it to you, I must know what kind of position my Song Keci has in your Mu Chuyu's heart?" Song Keci continued, and in the middle of his words, he overflowed with choked emotions that were suppressed by grief and indignation.
"What do you mean?" Mu Chuyu was confused, and it was really unexpected to take this question.
Song Keci couldn't hold back the emotions flooding in his heart, his nose was sour and red, and he looked like a clown. Mu Chuyu touched the tip of her nose with the thumb of her right hand distressedly.
"When I was in Chen's Mansion - the white-clad assassin threw a deadly throwing knife at me, and I was full of joy and thought that you would save me, and at the same time I was afraid that you would be injured for me! Butβlater, you didn't save me...... It was another stranger I didn't know who saved me! Song Keci turned sideways and lowered her head, unwilling to recall and analyze the scene that was enough to make her heart die thousands of times, that feeling was like punishing her heart, making her heart suffer from a thousand cuts again.
Mu Chuyu followed Song Keci's words and recalled the inseparable part of his fight with Xie Tongtong when he was in Chen's Mansion, his voice was very low, as if he had water in his throat: "I'm sorry!" Mercy! At that time β my first instinct was to save you...... But then ......"
"But then you turned around and fought with the Assassins, risking my life!" Song Keci raised her head slightly, and poured back the tears that accidentally entered her eyes when she lowered her eyes.
"At that time, I realized that the real purpose of the assassin was not you, but wanted to use you as bait to lure me to save you, so as to achieve her goal of killing Pei Yao!"
How could Mu Chuyu's honest words not break Song Keci's heart, she looked directly into his eyes: "Are you for Pei Yao?" For another woman? β
"That's right!" He nodded first, and then continued to explain to Song Keci like a fish in his throat, holding her shoulders tightly with both hands, as if this would make him more confident, "But-the situation is not what you think!" The reason why I will save Pei Yao is because I can't let her have an accident! She's my promise to a friend! It is also a little bit of success that I have done everything possible to get close to the Begonia Pavilion...... I can't give up, I can't fall short! She's my mission! I'm sorry, but it's a mercy! β
Although Song Keci couldn't quite understand what Mu Chuyu wanted to express, she thought that she had found out each other's feelings for herself from his emotionally uncontrollable and incoherent words. Men have always put their careers first, and men should be righteous, Song Keci very much agrees with this point of view, but unfortunately her brother always disappoints her, so that she can't support the family of Bishui Villa!
