Chapter 753: Chapter 751 I’m Coming_1

She took out the mirror again and admired her reflection, feeling both beautiful and sweet.

That day after school, Muxia bounced up to Jiang Qingchen, "Jiang Qingchen, do you think... I look good with this hair clip?"

Inexplicably, she wanted his praise.

Muxia laughed at her own childish thoughts, yet couldn’t help but anticipate.

Jiang Qingchen reached out and touched her head, "You’re so pretty, of course you look even better with it."

Great, not only did he compliment the hair clip, he also took the chance to compliment her.

Muxia’s heart blossomed with joy, feeling so happy she could nearly fly.

Climbing onto his bicycle, she extended an invitation, "Um, do you have time tomorrow, Saturday? My aunt, the singer, is holding a concert. How about I take you to see it?"

Inexplicably, she wanted to get closer to him, even closer.

Jiang Qingchen raised an eyebrow, "Are you talking about Diva Lin Sisi?"

"Yes, that’s her!" Muxia nodded her little head vigorously.

Over the years, the once novice Lin Sisi had become a red-hot diva. Each of her concerts were packed with fans, and tickets were hard to come by.

"Will you go with me?" Muxia’s gleaming eyes looked at him hopefully.

Under such a gaze, Jiang Qingchen had no reason to refuse, "Of course I’ll go."

Seeing him agree, Muxia was overjoyed, her face alight with excitement, "Then it’s settled. Tomorrow at six o’clock, I’ll come to your house to pick you up!"

"No problem."

The concert was at seven o’clock.

Muxia and Jiang Qingchen arrived at half past six.

The place was packed, a sea of darkness only pierced by the flickering light sticks waving around, alongside the fans’ mesmerized screams.

When Lin Sisi finally appeared on stage, the screams came flooding in like an unstoppable deluge.

Muxia also began to scream, "Auntie Sisi, I love you!!!"

Lin Sisi’s singing voice spread to every corner of the auditorium.

Muxia kept cheering for her.

By the end of the concert, the girl’s voice had become hoarse.

"Ah... ow... throat... my throat..." Muxia rubbed her throat, nearly in tears.

Jiang Qingchen felt terribly distressed, "I told you to shout less loudly, but you just wouldn’t listen!"

Muxia hung her head in embarrassment.

She had just been too excited, right?

After all, her aunt was her favorite singer.

What fan wouldn’t get excited, scream, and shout at their own star’s concert?

"Serves you right!" Jiang Qingchen said so, but his legs instinctively took her to a nearby pharmacy to get medicine.

A smile surfaced in Muxia’s eyes. The guy really was saying one thing but doing another, even buying her medicine.

Jiang Qingchen said, "Please give me a box of throat lozenges, the non-bitter kind."

Concerned that the girl couldn’t handle bitter flavors, Jiang Qingchen specifically asked for it.

The clerk soon brought him the lozenges he wanted, "That’s ten yuan."

After paying, Jiang Qingchen took out a lozenge and popped it into Muxia’s mouth.

"Open your mouth," he said irritably, but his eyes were filled with concern.

Muxia looked at him and obediently opened her mouth, like a preschooler waiting to be fed.

The throat lozenge was mint-flavored. Although not bitter, it was somewhat astringent, but for some reason, once it dissolved on her tongue, it tasted sweet, even sweeter than honey.

Looking at the boy, Muxia felt her heart soften.

That secret, indescribable urge rose again, even her cells seemed to be chanting for something they longed for.

But what exactly she longed for, Muxia didn’t know, or maybe, she didn’t want to admit it.

That evening, when she returned home, only Muxia and the housekeeper were there.

Xia Ningxing and the others had gone to the old house for a family dinner. Muxia had declined because she was going to the concert with Jiang Qingchen.

Muxia sat at her desk back in her room, trying to read, but for some reason, she couldn’t help but think of Jiang Qingchen’s face as she did.

His kindness when helping children.

His protection in the Scream Room.

His care during her menstrual period.

His daily, selfless drives to and from school with her.

His concern when giving her medicine.

He...

So many things.

Even when she initially had a crush on Xu Zeming, she wasn’t this captivated.

Muxia couldn’t help but cover her face, she seemed to have developed unusual feelings for Jiang Qingchen.

But he was the brother she had grown up with since childhood...

The cold wind howled outside the window, and the crackling sounds began.

Muxia turned her head to see that it had gotten dark outside without her noticing, and a storm was raging. The large raindrops hammered against the window pane fiercely and rapidly, as if intending to shatter the glass.

The coarse flashing of lightning and the rumbling of thunder lit up half of the sky.

Normally, she wouldn’t have been scared of a thunderstorm, but unfortunately, the lights inside the house flickered.

Muxia swallowed nervously, sensing an ominous premonition.

Could it be... could there be a power outage?

As the saying goes, good words don’t work as well as curses.

Sure enough, with a "buzz", the ceiling light went out, and all things electrical, including the computer, were extinguished.

Muxia’s eyes widened in terror, and she instinctively hunched down in her chair.

Although she was naturally timid, the pitch darkness now frightened her even more.

Even though she knew there was nothing to be scared of in the house, her mind and her heart did not agree.

Especially with the crashing and booming of the thunderstorm outside.

Muxia quickly took out her phone to call the nanny to come and keep her company, but to her misfortune, the phone was out of power!

With no other option, Muxia could only huddle there and call out loudly, "Mrs. Chen! Mrs. Chen!"

She called out many times, but no one responded.

That made sense, not only because the villa’s soundproofing was good, but also because there was a several-minute distance between the nanny’s quarters and the main villa, especially with the loud sound of the thunderstorm outside.

It was normal not to hear her.

With no other choice, Muxia could only climb into bed, terrified, and then wrap herself tightly in the blanket.

It’s okay, it’s okay, if I fall asleep, it will be okay.

But the more she thought this way, the less she was able to fall asleep.

Muxia thought, if only Jiang Qingchen were here with her right now...

Perhaps it was her deep longing that caused an illusion.

She heard Jiang Qingchen’s voice.

"Muxia."

The Muxia cowering under the blanket suddenly froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Was that Jiang Qingchen’s voice just now?

But it was already midnight, how could he be here?

And with such a heavy rain...

He couldn’t possibly have come over.

So, auditory hallucination!

It had to be an auditory hallucination!

Just as Muxia was convincing herself of this, his voice reached her ears once more.

"Muxia, don’t be afraid, I’m here."

This time, Muxia heard it clearly and burst out from under the blanket.

Jiang Qingchen brought candles and a candle stand, and the gentle candlelight immediately illuminated the room.

His hair was speckled with droplets of water, and his cotton clothes were mostly soaked, dripping steadily with water.
