Chapter 733: Chapter 731 Unrequited Love 3_1

She kept comforting herself, but the effect was negligible. As soon as she heard the background music and saw the terrifying props, her little heart felt like it could burst at any moment, and her face was already twisted in fear.

In order not to embarrass herself, she even tried to suppress her screams so as not to make Xu, the senior, think she was a coward.

Seeing the girl so frightened, a mix of emotions enveloped Jiang Qingchen’s chest: distress, self-reproach, guilt, and a surge of jealous anger.

Serves her right!

Angry as he was, his heart still softened in the end.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m right here with you," Jiang Qingchen walked over with his long strides, sat down beside her, and even tightly held her hand.

His warm and dry palm conveyed a strong sense of security to Muxia.

If it had been any other time, Muxia might have been shy to hold hands with him, but right now, she clung to him as if grasping a lifeline.

She even leaned as close to him as she could. If it hadn’t been for Xu, the senior, she liked being there, Muxia would’ve thrown any semblance of image away and plunged into his arms.

But even just holding hands was enough to significantly reduce her fear now.

"Aren’t you going to look for a way to clear the game?" Muxia asked, looking up at him after calming down a bit.

She remembered that he also liked playing these escape room games.

"If I went off, what would you do?" His tone wasn’t very nice, but it was filled with concern.

So he stayed for her sake, even though he really wanted to play, he still held back?

As this thought emerged, a strange feeling welled up in Muxia’s chest, much more intense than before.

She couldn’t help but secretly giggle to herself.

She didn’t know why she was laughing or why she felt like laughing; it was just oddly jubilant.

With him by her side, Muxia’s fear gradually dissipated.

Meanwhile, Xu Zeming was tirelessly searching for a way to clear the game.

"Go for it, senior!" Muxia cheered, looking up with a small face.

Xu Zeming turned and smiled gently at her before continuing with the puzzle.

Jiang Qingchen snorted inwardly.

This ingrate.

Now that she wasn’t scared, she was giving other guys the eye!

If he had known, he wouldn’t have bothered with her.

Although that’s what he thought, he couldn’t really just ignore her if it came down to it.

About ten minutes later, Xu Zeming’s voice came, slightly excited, "I’ve found a way out! Junior! You don’t have to be scared anymore!"

Hearing this, Muxia thought she would be very happy. However, she wasn’t as thrilled as she had expected since she wasn’t that scared anymore.

But facing the person she liked, she still praised him encouragingly, "Senior, you’re so amazing to have found a way out so quickly."

When the door opened, Muxia let go of Jiang Qingchen’s hand.

"Let’s hurry out," she said.

Although she wasn’t that scared anymore, it didn’t mean Muxia wanted to stay there indefinitely.

The sudden departure of the girl’s delicate and soft hand made Jiang Qingchen frown, a wave of loss washing over him.

After emerging from the Thrilling Secret Chamber, Muxia was like a bird seeing the sky again, taking deep breaths of fresh air.

Never before had she felt the sunshine and blue sky so beautiful!

Even the noisy crowd around her seemed adorable.

As Muxia was contemplating this, she suddenly felt something amiss with her body.

She paused, feeling as if something wet was trickling down.

Muxia instinctively looked down, and when she saw clearly, her eyes widened instantaneously.

Blood...

So much blood...

The light blue of her jeans was already faint, making the blood that flowed down glaringly obvious.

What was happening to her?

Wait, could it be her period?

Since Nianxia had her period a short time ago, Muxia had some understanding of such matters.

Although not terrified, she was deeply startled.

Many people around her started to look, pointing and murmuring, some snickering, some speechless, and even a child’s curious exclamation—

"Wow! Did that big sister have a miscarriage?"

Muxia: "...!"

Muxia’s face turned red at a visible speed, and it could be said without exaggeration that it was nearly at the point of dripping blood.

If there had been a crack in the ground, she would have dived into it without hesitation.

Embarrassing!

So very embarrassing!

There she was, getting her period in the middle of the street, with no precautions...

She felt a mix of shame, awkwardness, and embarrassment, even anger and grievance. It was just her period, what was there to gawk at, honestly.

She felt a sourness in her nose and tears surged up instantly.

"Enough, shut up, what’s there to look at!" Xu Zeming scowled and immediately scolded the thoughtless onlookers, shielding Muxia with his body, protecting her tightly.

The young man had a tall and slender figure, blocking the view of most people.

Muxia could finally catch her breath.

She looked up at him, her eyes filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Xu..."

"It’s nothing," Xu Zeming shook his head. As he stared at the bloodstains on her body, his brows furrowed tighter. He was thinking of a way to help her when Jiang Qingchen came panting over.

Jiang Qingchen seemed to have bought two jackets from somewhere, draping one in front of Muxia and another behind her.

The jackets were long and large, and with Muxia being so petite, the coats nearly dragged on the ground, perfectly concealing her embarrassment.

Jiang Qingchen spoke with a voice as tender and soothing as pearls dropping onto a jade plate, "It’s okay now, the bloodstains are covered, no one else will see."

If Xu Zeming’s action was a temporary fix, then his was a lasting solution.

Muxia couldn’t be more grateful, her eyes wet, she choked up, "Qingchen, thank you as well. I wouldn’t have known what to do without you!"

Muxia didn’t realize her thanks to Jiang Qingchen were evidently more than those to Xu Zeming, even with a touch of dependency.

But Jiang Qingchen noticed, his thin lips slightly curving up, a small sense of pride and pleasure bloomed in his heart.

How could this sudden fondness compare to his decade of unwavering affection?

Even if she had feelings for that guy Xu Zeming now, he believed that someday, her fondness for Xu Zeming would vanish completely in comparison to his.

"Qingchen, I want to go home." Even though her embarrassment was hidden, Muxia completely lost her mood, looking wilted, she bit her lip and after saying that, she waved to Xu Zeming, "Xu, goodbye."

The girl’s head hung low, she couldn’t dare to look him in the eye.

Too awkward.

Why did her period have to come now, especially in front of him?

And with blood splattered right there for him to see firsthand.

If it weren’t for the fact that she knew this was purely an accident, she might have thought her period was deliberately opposing her.
