Chapter 563: Chapter 561 Xiaoxiao... I’ve come to see you_1

The cemetery was dotted with colorful little flowers everywhere, so beautiful...

Upon entering, everyone’s complexion inevitably turned sorrowful. Mu Zisu felt as if his feet were weighed down by a thousand pounds, making it difficult for him to take even a single step.

Mu Zixuan walked gently to the gravestone and bent down to place the white chrysanthemums in her hand, "Xiaoxiao... I’m sorry we’re only coming to see you now..."

Mu Ziqing stepped forward, also laying down a bouquet, "Xiaoxiao... we really miss you..."

Mu Zixuan turned to look at Mu Zisu who was standing still not far away, her eyes cast down in sadness before she said to Mu Yingchen and the others, "Dad, Uncle Na Ersi, let Yaoyao stay here with Xiaoxiao for a while, we’ll head back first..."

Upon hearing Mu Zixuan’s words, everyone couldn’t help but sigh inwardly and nodded in agreement, "That’s fine..."

After Mu Yingchen, Na Ersi, and the others left, only Mu Zisu remained standing still in the cemetery.

A long while passed, and a gentle breeze finally brought him back to his senses...

He slowly lifted his feet and stared at the glaring red characters on the gravestone; his pupils suddenly constricted as he got closer, the inscription becoming increasingly clear and garish—The Grave of Xiaoxiao of the Na Family...

His eyes couldn’t help but sting, and walking up to the grave, he held the chrysanthemums, staring at the name Xiaoxiao. After a long time, he finally broke into a faint smile, "Xiaoxiao... I’m here to see you..." His voice was as soft as a gentle breeze, so tender, so nostalgic, so full of longing...

Bending down, he placed the chrysanthemums, then leaned back against the tombstone and sat down...

Watching the slowly fading twilight, Mu Zisu’s eyes involuntarily reddened.

Xiaoxiao died because of him...

It was all his fault, all because of him!

Actually, the one who should have died was him...

He would rather have been the one to die!

That way, he wouldn’t be so agonized, wouldn’t miss her so painfully...

He just sat there quietly leaning against the cold, hard tombstone, as if he were leaning against the Xiaoxiao in his heart...

Even as night fell, he remained there quietly, showing no intention of getting up to leave...

At the gate of the cemetery, Mu Yingchen and Na Ersi stood shoulder to shoulder, silently staring at the dejected, despondent and sorrowful figure of Mu Zisu within...

Na Ersi let out a light sigh, "Although it’s very cruel to him, the outcome will never change..."

Mu Yingchen looked helplessly towards Na Ersi, "Indeed, it’s too cruel. But fortunately, it’s not as bad as we imagined..."

He chuckled, lifting his head to look at the star-filled night sky and murmured softly, "Yes... a fortune within fortunes..."

Their voices were very low and quiet, and since they stood some distance from Mu Zisu, he couldn’t hear their whispers. Not to mention not hearing, he didn’t even notice the two people standing at the cemetery gate.

But Na Ersi and Mu Yingchen overlooked the one behind them, heedless of when Mu Zixuan had appeared silently behind them.

Mu Zixuan was just following them to check on Mu Zisu who hadn’t returned for a long time but unexpectedly heard the conversation that shocked her yet filled her with immense surprise...

Hiding behind the tree, she restrained her urge to rush forward and confirm, clasped her hands tightly, and then turned to leave quietly...

On her way back, her heart raced, and the conversation between Na Ersi and Mu Yingchen echoed in her mind... Weighing it in her heart, if it was as she imagined, then her mommy and Aunt Wawa must also know about it...

But why would they keep it from her and Yaoyao and Qiqi?

Why should I watch Yaoyao suffer like that?

Perhaps if she went to them for confirmation now, she wouldn’t be able to confirm anything, after all, Xiaoxiao really wasn’t breathing when she was taken away... This was what everyone had seen with their own eyes, heard with their own ears...

So, when Mu Zixuan returned, she forcefully suppressed all her thoughts.

"Shanshan... Is Yaoyao not back yet?" Su Wanxia looked behind Mu Zixuan and saw emptiness, she couldn’t help but worryingly ask.

Mu Zixuan feigned distress and shook her head, "I only got a short distance out the door before I lost sight of Dad and Uncle Ersi, it’s too dark to see, I was afraid of taking the wrong path, so I came back..."

Su Wanxia nodded in understanding, "I see... Then I’ll go check on them..."

"I’ll come with you..." Na Wa also stood up from the table.

"Okay, let’s go..." Su Wanxia nodded, then turned to look at Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing, "Wait for us at home, it’s too dark, don’t run around..."

"Got it, Mom..." Mu Ziqing waved at them.

Mu Zixuan also curved her lips into a smile and nodded in agreement.

When Su Wanxia and Na Wa left the house, Mu Zixuan stared at the doorway, deep in thought.

Then, taking Mu Ziqing by the hand, she whispered, "Qiqi, let’s take a walk around..."

"Ah? Take a walk around?" Mu Ziqing exclaimed. She was timid because she was afraid of the dark...

There were no street lights here, and one couldn’t see their own hand before their face when venturing out at night. Except for lanterns hanging in front of each home providing some light, everywhere else was pitch dark, which scared her...

Seeing Mu Ziqing’s frightened expression, Mu Zixuan couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t worry, we’re not going outside, just a walk around this courtyard..."

"Can we do it tomorrow instead? It’s already dark now, there isn’t anything worth walking around for..." Mu Ziqing continued to argue.

"Oh come on, what are you afraid of with me here? Hurry up, it wouldn’t be good if Dad and the others come back..." Mu Zixuan said as she pulled Mu Ziqing up from the chair.

Mu Ziqing immediately displayed an exaggerated expression, clutching tightly to Mu Zixuan’s arm, "Sis... Can you tell me, what’s the purpose of taking a walk around?"

Mu Zixuan gave her a slight smile, "To find treasure..."

Mu Ziqing obviously didn’t buy that, accompanying her outside with a pout, "I don’t believe it, what are you really trying to do?" Ever since Mu Ziqing could remember, Mu Zixuan always liked to undertake very challenging activities, her expertise being to provoke others’ limits...

She was helpless...

"Why ask so many questions? Just accompany me on a walk if I ask you to..." Mu Zixuan said, pulling Mu Ziqing towards the right wing of the house.

"Hey hey, slow down..."

The village chief’s courtyard was very large, with three main ones, one of which belonged to Xiaoxiao...

Mu Zixuan pulled Mu Ziqing, holding a flashlight, and made a round in the courtyard where Xiaoxiao lived. The courtyard was as tidy as always, but it looked like it really hadn’t been lived in for a long time.

After taking Mu Ziqing back to their dwelling, Mu Zixuan couldn’t help but wonder, if Xiaoxiao was still alive, where else could she be if not here?

Could it be... She really was no more?

But she clearly heard Uncle Ersi and her dad’s conversation, although it wasn’t explicitly stated, the implication was obvious...
