Chapter 446: Chapter 444 You’ve Fallen Too Deep in Love_1

Xiaoxiao’s facial expression suddenly stiffened, remembering that person made her heart sting, although it was faint, it reached the depths of her heart...

She leaned back on the comfortable cushion.

"Well... how should I put it..." she drew out her words, gazing at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

"What? Did he fall in love with you?" Mu Zixuan watched Xiaoxiao with a hint of excitement.

Xiaoxiao gave a bitter smile and softly said, "As always..." As long as he did not hate her, she was already very content.

"Bah! I thought something improper had happened between you two," Mu Zixuan said with an exasperated look to the sky.

Xiaoxiao’s complexion instantly turned unnatural. Something that should not have happened? Should the incident that night be considered improper?

If it were in the Na Family village, a man who saw a woman’s body like that would definitely take responsibility for her, but this was not the Na Family village, so... if he didn’t mention it, then she would just pretend nothing had happened.

"Xiaoxiao... sometimes, I really don’t understand what you’re thinking," Mu Zixuan said, furrowing her brows at her.

Xiaoxiao looked at her with confusion--

"You say you like my brother so much, why don’t you just tell him to his face? In this day and age, it’s common for women to pursue men! Haven’t you ever heard the saying? A man chasing a woman has to cross mountains; a woman chasing a man is separated only by a veil! If you boldly pursued him, maybe you would have caught him by now..." Mu Zixuan said, frustrated that Xiaoxiao wasn’t getting it.

After hearing her words, Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then chuckled and shook her head: "Better not..." She feared that if she really confessed, he would no longer allow her to stay by his side.

Pity that she didn’t have much time left now...

"You... I don’t even know what to say about you! You used to be such a lively and mischievous person when you were younger, and now you’ve become a complete introvert..."

Mu Zixuan remembered that every time she went to play in the Na Family village, Little Qiqi and the two other girls were like wild children frolicking and playing together. Every time they parted, it would take a long embrace before they could let go.

But ever since she started following Yaoyao, Xiaoxiao seemed to have become a different person, always behaving properly, never frolicking, as serene as a calm lake.

Xiaoxiao’s heart twitched, yes... she used to be so naive and cheerful, when did she start to change and no longer resemble herself?

Oh... that’s right... it started from the first moment she saw him...

"Shanshan... have you ever truly fallen in love with someone?"

Shanshan was taken aback by Xiaoxiao’s question, then shook her head: "Seems like I really haven’t..."

"For so long, I’ve finally come to understand a saying..."

"What saying?"

"Falling in love with someone can make one feel inferior..." Xiaoxiao’s voice was somewhat ethereal.

At first, she didn’t grasp the true meaning of that phrase, but after spending a long time by his side, she finally understood that love really can make someone feel so lowly, as lowly as a flower in the corner, praying each day for a mere glance of sunlight, and in return, it would joyfully try to bloom its most delicate blossoms.

"Is it really like that?" Mu Zixuan questioned.

She had never truly fallen in love with someone, so she couldn’t comprehend the depth of that statement.

"But you won’t..." Xiaoxiao smiled as she looked at Mu Zixuan.

"Why?" Mu Zixuan raised an eyebrow.

"Because you and your brother are the same kind of people..." In love, the kind that makes the other person feel inferior.

"Xiaoxiao... you’ve loved too deeply..." Mu Zixuan looked at Na Xiaoxiao with some heartache.

If her friend hadn’t fallen for Yaoyao, Zixuan would’ve urged her to give up long ago.

Yaoyao was just like her father; Zixuan’s mother once said that she had worked hard to pursue her father. But her efforts were not in vain; now her father was incredibly indulgent towards her mother.

If one day Xiaoxiao could win Yaoyao over, she’d surely be very happy.

Upon hearing Zixuan’s words, Xiaoxiao’s breath hitched. Loved too deeply? Even Shanshan could see she loved too deeply, so why couldn’t that person sense it at all?

Or perhaps he simply didn’t care, so he never noticed...

Xiaoxiao and Zixuan talked until late, covering many topics: childhood memories, dreams, aspirations.

Zixuan’s dream was to find a man as good as her father to be her husband. Her pursuit was to step out of her parents’ shadow and make her own achievements, which she seemed to have half accomplished already...

Xiaoxiao had dreams too. As a child, she’d listen to the other kids in the village discuss the outside world and yearned to leave the Na Family village to see it for herself.

As for pursuits, she had learned medicine from a young age under her father’s tutelage and was no less skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting than Shanshan or Little Qiqi.

Beyond these, dancing was her favorite; she felt that dance could reveal a person’s most beautiful posture.

Yet all these had been quietly tucked away in a corner of her mind as she devoted herself to following that one person’s footsteps.

The next morning, when the two walked from the bedroom to the living area, they saw Mu Zisu sitting alone at the dining table, having breakfast.

Seeing the pair come out of Zixuan’s bedroom, Mu Zisu gave them a suspicious look.

"Hehe... I was so bored last night that I dragged Xiaoxiao to chat with me. It got so late that I let her stay in my room..." Zixuan chuckled merrily as she walked towards the dining area.

Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelids and followed her over.

Upon seeing the two enter the dining area, a servant immediately went to bring breakfast.

"Um, brother... thank you for yesterday..." Zixuan moved a dining chair closer to Zisu and sat down with a plop, grinning at him.

"Since when have you become so polite?" Zisu raised an eyebrow at her.

"Well, yesterday’s incident was a bit much. I wouldn’t thank you otherwise..." Zixuan muttered.

"Then don’t thank me..." Zisu said suddenly.

Zixuan blinked her eyes.

"Not used to it..." Zisu tossed out three words and continued eating his breakfast unruffled.

Zixuan burst into laughter, "Yaoyao, although you were born just two minutes before me, and though it irks me to call you ’brother,’ I have to say, you’ve really played the part... It’s not a loss to call you brother for once, haha..."

Mu Zisu instantly had a face full of black lines...

And Xiaoxiao, too, stifled her laughs with her hand. The number of people who could leave Zisu speechless could be counted on one hand, and Shanshan was one of them.

"Actually, I’ve always thought you and Qiqi were born on the same day..." Zisu said coolly, looking up at Zixuan, who wore a mischievous grin.

Instantly, the corners of Zixuan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably: this was yet another way of calling her childish. Calling him a taciturn man was indeed spot-on!
