Chapter 584: Chapter 582 Choosing to Let Go_1

Mu Zisu couldn’t help but laugh, and then looked at her with complete adoration, "Alright... how do you plan to thank me this time..."

Na Xiaoxiao frowned, "What kind of thanks do you want?"

Mu Zisu lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at her, "I’ll tell you tomorrow..."

"Ah?" Na Xiaoxiao was surprised, "Why tomorrow?"

"Because tomorrow... I will be leaving..." There was loneliness and sadness in Mu Zisu’s eyes.

Tomorrow, he would be leaving...

With a sigh in his heart, he picked up the brush and bent down to continue his painting.

Confusion suddenly filled Na Xiaoxiao’s eyes—why did her heart feel reluctant when she heard he was leaving?

"Then when will you come back here..." Knowing that he was leaving, she couldn’t help but look forward to the next time he would visit.

Mu Zisu’s hand holding the brush paused, and just like that, one character was ruined.

"I will always come back..." He looked up at Na Xiaoxiao, who seemed a bit unhappy.

"Okay..." A trace of disappointment crossed Na Xiaoxiao’s heart. Why did she feel differently about him? She couldn’t quite put her finger on it... It was strange.

Then, she shifted her eyes back to the paper, "Ah... this one is ruined too..."

Having said that, she pulled away the paper and motioned with her eyes for Mu Zisu to continue.

Mu Zisu’s hand gripping the brush tightened—he didn’t realize how much willpower it took to resist the urge to take her into his arms...

Mu Zisu indeed wrote another one just like the first for Na Xiaoxiao. She grinned happily—she didn’t know if it was because Mu Zisu had written it or because she could slack off for two hours tomorrow.

Just as Mu Zisu put down the brush, a faint sound of footsteps came from the door. Na Xiaoxiao quickly ran to the desk and swapped places with Mu Zisu, then covered the one she had written earlier.

Mu Zisu watched her mischievous behavior and shook his head with a smile. It turned out that when she was up to no good, she was just as second to none as Shanshan.

"Xiaoxiao... are you done?" a slightly cheerful female voice drifted in from outside.

Na Xiaoxiao chuckled toward the doorway, "It’s done, Master..."

Mu Zisu looked up and saw Na Ersi and Na Xiaoxiao’s master walk in one after the other.

Yue Shu looked at Mu Zisu and smiled lightly, "Is this the disciple you’ve taken?"

Na Ersi nodded, "Yes..."

"Not bad... If I could take male disciples, I’d definitely snatch him away..." Yue Shu said meaningfully, actually aware of Mu Zisu’s identity.

"Master..." Na Xiaoxiao looked at Yue Shu with dissatisfaction.

Yue Shu suddenly smiled at Na Xiaoxiao, "Master is just joking. Master only has you as my precious disciple..."

Mu Zisu, hearing her words, raised his eyebrows; he had thought that the great wizard of a clan must be a very serious person, but he didn’t expect her to be so witty in her speech.

Na Ersi couldn’t help but laugh...

"Cousin... are you leaving tomorrow?" Yue Shu asked Na Ersi.

"Yes... I’m leaving tomorrow..."

"That’s fine, next time bring your cousin-in-law to stay for a longer period..." Yue Shu said and then turned to look at Na Xiaoxiao, who immediately flashed a smile.

Yue Shu glanced at the paper and, with no suspicion, nodded.

Because she never suspected Mu Zisu, after all, the handwriting was indeed familiar to her.

Xiaoxiao finally let go of the breath she was holding in her heart.

Na Ersi and Mu Zisu stayed until the late afternoon before getting up to leave. Since the four had been sitting together and chatting, Mu Zisu and Xiaoxiao didn’t have a chance to talk much.

As Mu Zisu followed Na Ersi to leave, Xiaoxiao suddenly hurried forward, "Mu Zisu..."

Mu Zisu’s hand clenched suddenly, his heart fluttered, and he slowly turned around with a corner of his mouth curled upwards.

Xiaoxiao didn’t know why she had impulsively chased after him. Seeing Mu Zisu turn around, she didn’t know what to say, feeling as though she didn’t want him to leave.

Mu Zisu stood in silence, softly gazing at her.

"Um... I just wanted to ask you... When are you and your father leaving tomorrow? I’ll come to see you off..."

In fact, what Xiaoxiao wanted to say was: How would you like me to thank you...

But her words abruptly turned a corner before leaving her mouth, since her master was standing right behind her, and it wouldn’t be good to slip up, hehe...

A hint of disappointment flashed in Mu Zisu’s eyes. So he was still holding on to hope...

"We’ll leave tomorrow morning after breakfast. The journey is a bit long, you don’t have to send us off..." Na Ersi suddenly spoke up.

Mu Zisu’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and in the end, he didn’t say anything, just nodded faintly.

Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "Well then... I won’t see you off..."

"Yes, go back..." Na Ersi said with a nod and a smile.

Xiaoxiao reluctantly glanced at the two of them and then turned around somewhat sullenly...

Mu Zisu was internally conflicted at that moment. He wanted to rush forward, grab her hand, and flee this place no matter the consequences, but he was afraid it would hurt her, considering her physical condition.

When he watched her figure disappear from sight, Mu Zisu finally made a resolute decision to turn around. From that moment on, he would hide her in his heart and miss her silently...

Xiaoxiao... if letting go can exchange for your safety and wellbeing, then... I choose to let go...

Mu Zisu left with Na Ersi, and Xiaoxiao indeed did not come to send them off.

Mu Zisu’s heart seemed to be bleeding non-stop. He had expected her to come to send him off today as a gesture of thanks, but he didn’t expect that even seeing her one last time before leaving would be wishful thinking...

Xiaoxiao stood by the window, holding the piece of paper with Mu Zisu’s writing on it, deep in thought. As she gazed at it, the clear and distinct Xuan paper seemed to reveal his cold and stunningly beautiful face, especially those lonely, melancholic, and unfathomable eyes, which made her heart tremble gently...

When Mu Zisu and Na Ersi arrived safely at the Na Family village, it was past noon.

Mu Yingchen, Su Wanxia, and the others felt a surge of excitement at their return.

They wanted to ask Mu Zisu if he had seen Xiaoxiao, but seeing his desolate and gloomy demeanor, everyone fell silent.

Mu Zisu nodded to everyone and then went straight into the courtyard...

Mu Zixuan’s eyes dimmed as she lowered her eyelids. She had anticipated Yaoyao’s expression upon his return, but she did not expect him to be so listless...

"Uncle Ersi... did you not see Xiaoxiao?" Mu Ziqing tentatively asked.

Na Ersi smiled helplessly, "We saw her..."

Mu Ziqing suddenly realized and opened her mouth in enlightenment. Her brother must be distressed about not being able to be with Xiaoxiao...

She immediately frowned. Why can’t people who truly love each other be together?
