Chapter 564: Chapter 562 I’m Going to the Cemetery to See What’s Really Going On_1

Mu Ziqing felt helpless about Mu Zixuan’s strange behavior, sighing as she looked at her sister, deep in thought with furrowed brows, and said weakly, "Sis... What are you doing? If you want to find something, why not just ask Uncle Na Ersi or Aunt Na Wa? Why fumble around in the dark by yourself..."

Engrossed in her thoughts, Mu Zixuan was startled when she heard Mu Ziqing’s grumbling complaint and grabbed her hand, speaking earnestly, "Qiqi... Let’s keep what happened tonight a secret between us both, and don’t tell anyone else, not even dad or mom..."

She hadn’t figured out the truth yet, so she couldn’t tell them for the time being.

If she told them, she thought, even if Xiaoxiao was alive, they wouldn’t get a chance to see her.

"Why?" asked Mu Ziqing, puzzled.

Mu Zixuan let out a light sigh, "Good Qiqi, listen to your sister and there will be candy..."

All of a sudden, Mu Ziqing’s head was filled with black lines...

Although puzzled in her heart, Mu Ziqing decided that since Mu Zixuan was so serious, she would keep the secret for now...

They had just sat for a while when Mu Yingchen and others returned with Mu Zisu...

Looking at the dejected Mu Zisu, Mu Zixuan’s resolve about keeping to her thoughts solidified.

"Shanshan, Qiqi, it’s getting late, you both should rest early..." Su Wanxia walked in and spoke softly to the two sisters.

"Now that we’ve seen you all back, we can rest assured. We’ll go to sleep now..." Having said this, Mu Ziqing pulled Mu Zixuan along and ran off as if escaping. There was no helping it; unlike Mu Zixuan, she couldn’t lie—she’d give it away as soon as she spoke, so better to beat a hasty retreat...

After sleeping, maybe by tomorrow she’d forget about it all herself.

Su Wanxia watched the sisters’ retreating figures, shaking her head. Those two girls...

"Alright, it’s getting late, everyone should get some rest..." Na Ersi said, looking at Mu Yingchen, Su Wanxia, and Mu Zisu.

Mu Yingchen glanced at Mu Zisu, who remained silent and grim, and nodded, "Hmm... We won’t stay long this time, we’re leaving early in the morning..."

Mu Zisu finally lifted her eyes, her brows tightly knit, but ultimately she said nothing.

"Tomorrow? It’s been over a year since your last visit, why not stay a few more days this time..." Na Wa looked at Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen, making an effort to persuade them to stay.

Su Wanxia laughed lightly, "No, we’re in such a rush this time, and there are many things left pending back home. Next time, we will prepare well in advance..."

Na Ersi and Na Wa, hearing their response, chuckled and nodded in understanding.

Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing shared a room, while Mu Zisu’s room was arranged next to theirs. Na Ersi and Na Wa’s rooms were not in the same courtyard, and Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia stayed in the east wing, a distance away from them.

Mu Zixuan lay in bed unable to sleep, and only upon hearing Mu Ziqing’s steady breathing next to her did she dare to take out her phone and check the time.

One o’clock in the morning...

They should all be asleep by now, right?

Her eyes rolling, the cunning look that had been absent for so long reappeared in their depths...

Lifting the corner of the blanket, she gently got out of bed, cautiously put on her shoes, and then tiptoed to the door...

With a soft creak, Mu Zixuan immediately turned to look at Mu Ziqing on the bed. Seeing no reaction from her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, quietly closed the door, and slipped out...

When it was truly the early hours of the morning, the sky wasn’t pitch-black, a bright moon hung like a jade plate, casting a silvery glow over the quiet night...

Turning off the light from her phone, Mu Zixuan stood under the eaves looking at the night sky scattered with stars and the bright moon, feeling an unexpected wave of emotion. She shook her head lightly to dispel the thoughts and images in her mind and silently walked to the door next door, raising her hand to give it a try...

Unexpectedly, the door wasn’t fully locked and creaked open with her push...

Her heart skipped a beat, and like a thief, she scanned the silent courtyard before slipping into the house...

Carefully closing the door, she turned around and was instantly so frightened that she lost her wits...

Her mouth agape and eyes wide with shock, her horror-stricken expression inadvertently made Mu Zisu frown slightly as he stood by the window...

When Mu Zixuan saw Mu Zisu turn around, her spirit returned, and she exhaled deeply, rapidly patting her chest to calm the fright within her...

At the same time, with a furrowed brow, she looked at Mu Zisu and whispered angrily, "What are you doing standing by the window in the pitch dark instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?"

Good heavens! She really had nearly died of fright just now!

Fortunately, she was brave enough, else if Qiqi had been with her, she would have surely fainted dead away...

She had thought Mu Zisu would be lying in bed, but when she turned her head, she caught sight of a dark figure at the window. Emma... that truly was a soul-shattering scare...

Hearing Mu Zixuan’s words, Mu Zisu’s brow furrowed even more...

"Why are you up and about in the dead of night, wandering around?"

Mu Zixuan’s face turned suddenly awkward but immediately reminded of the matter she came to tell him, she cast away all thoughts of her unsettled nerves...

She walked over to Mu Zisu, looked up, and saw the high-hanging silver moon through the window in the night sky...

So he was enjoying the moonlight. Sigh, no need to think about it, she knew that enjoying the moonlight was false, missing someone was true...

She raised her hand, gently closing the window...

As soon as the window closed, the room became pitch black, and Mu Zixuan immediately took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and pulled Mu Zisu towards an area far from the window...

Mu Zisu looked at her quizzically, not understanding why she would come to find him in the middle of the night, acting so mysteriously...

"Yaoyao..." Mu Zixuan looked at him earnestly.

"What’s the matter?" Mu Zisu looked at her.

Mu Zixuan struggled internally for a moment, but decided to tell him what she had heard. She knew that the pain of despair after hope was even greater, but she didn’t want to miss the slightest possibility of survival...

"Xiaoxiao might still be alive..."

Boom...

A muffled clap of thunder echoed suddenly in Mu Zisu’s mind...

His pupils dilated to their fullest, and after a pause, he abruptly grabbed Mu Zixuan’s arm, looking at her intently and urgently, "What did you say?" He urgently needed Mu Zixuan to repeat her words, to reassure him that he wasn’t hallucinating!

"Xiaoxiao, she might still be alive..." Mu Zixuan repeated.

In Mu Zisu’s hopeful eyes shone with splendid iridescence, that was the ecstatic joy of a last chance at life!

"Where is she? Tell me... where is she?" Mu Zisu asked, overwhelmed with emotion, his hands clutching her shoulders as he spoke with frenzied joy.

With a sigh, Mu Zixuan then told Mu Zisu about the conversation she had inadvertently overheard at the entrance of the graveyard that day.

Suddenly lowering his head, Mu Zisu started to chuckle softly, a laughter that made Mu Zixuan’s heart clench tightly. She knew that if this expectation turned out to be vain, his pain would be even greater than before, but the opportunity was not an illusion, and how would they know without trying?

Mu Zisu chuckled for a while, then suddenly looked up with a serious face, "Shanshan... I need to go to the graveyard to see for myself..."
