Chapter 1279 I Told You I’d Come (2)
Xu Yuning’s vision was affected by her condition and had become blurred, and with the hindrance of her tears, everything in her eyes was deflated, and all of it was reduced to Mu Sijun’s background.
That’s right, she could only see Mousse.
The fire on the island was raging, tongues of flame spreading like a last hurrah to engulf the entire ocean.
At the same time, the island resounds with chilling explosions from time to time.
However, it seemed that Mu Sijiu could not notice all this. He walked over towards Xu Yuning with a resolute gaze and firm steps, his stature standing tall, like a G.o.d who descended from the sky.
Xu Yuning looked at Mu Sijue, unable to remove her gaze for a millisecond.
Since the death of her parents, she had forced herself to manage her tears, ordering herself not to shed them easily, no matter what happened.
Because she knew that in this world, she had no one left to rely on, and her last strength was only herself.
If even she crouches down and cries, who’s going to set things right for her?
But now, she has Musashi.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuning’s tears were almost completely out of control, but in the end, they were firmly suppressed by the strength of her character.
Even if she could shed tears with abandon now, she didn’t want to cry until she lost control in front of Mu Sijun.
She still had a lot of very important things to do with Mu Si Jue, and crying to Mu Si Jue was definitely one of the most pointless.
“Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!”
The loud noise of the explosion came again, but it could not affect Mu Sijiu’s pace at all. It was as if at this moment, the world was actually only Xu Yuning alone. The surrounding chaos and explosions, all of them did not exist.
The last time Mu Sijun saw Xu Yuning was in the parking lot of the hotel.
That time, he thought he had a chance to bring Xu Yuning back, but he didn’t expect Kang Ruicheng to take precautions in advance, so he could only rush to the parking lot to meet Xu Yuning.
On that side, it was so rushed that he only had time to hug Xu Yuning a little.
So much so that he only noticed now that Xu Yuning had lost weight.
When Xu Yuning was still by his side, she wasn’t much | meat type, she has always been slim and thin, like a nimble deer.
The difference was that at that time, her charming face had a healthy glow, and her knitted brows were light and soulful.
But now, only a sickly pallor remained on her delicate features. Looking at her, Mu Sijun couldn’t help but a.s.sociate her with a critically injured dying animal.
The only thing that Mu Sijun was thankful for was that Xu Yuning’s back could still be straight and her gaze was as resolute as ever.
Her condition was worsening, but she was still the same Xu Yuning he knew so well.
Amidst the smoke and flames, Mu Siju walked towards Xu Yuning, his footsteps stopping in front of her.
Xu Yuning raised her head, her gaze clear, looking at Mu Siju for an instant.
In this moment, she was willing to believe anything.
She believed that Musashi had really come, that stability and happiness were only a step away.
That said, this was the first time she had ever experienced happiness so truly.
Xu Yuning had long ago controlled her tears, but the hidden mist that clouded her eyes, as well as the tear stains on her face, did not escape Mu Sijun’s eyes all the same.
Mu Sijun raised his hand and gently wiped away the tear tracks on her face, lightly opening his tightly pursed thin lips, “I’m sorry.”
Xu Yuning looked at Mu Sijue, and her first reaction was to recall Ah Guang’s words-
“Seven will never apologize. Even if he’s really wrong, he has a way to ‘turn wrong into right’. Besides, Seven’s pride won’t allow him to apologize! Unless ……” There was a long pause before Light slowly continued, “Unless he meets someone more important than his pride.”
At that time, the tone in which Kou said the last sentence was like saying something that would never happen.
It was only after following Mu Sijiu for some time that Xu Yuning comprehended Ah Guang’s words.
Musashi is too proud, and what’s worse, he is indeed the pride of heaven and never needs to apologize.
However, at this moment, this proud son of G.o.d stood in front of her and uttered the words “I’m sorry” out of his mouth.
So, she’s above this man’s thirty years of pride?
She didn’t really want that.
Xu Yuning shook his head, the corners of his lips rising uncontrollably as he said, “What you promised me, you’ve already done. You didn’t apologize to me.”
Mu Sijiu looked at Xu Yuning’s red eyes, without guessing he knew that she must have cried just now.
Why is she crying when she’s seen him?
Can’t help but cry tears of joy because you’re suffering from a life-threatening, critical situation and finally see hope for life?
Mu Sijiu clearly could have laughed, but his heart felt like it had suddenly been stung, and immediately afterward, a sharp pain spread out, enveloping his entire heart, and his fingertips couldn’t help but follow the throbbing pain.
He reached out his hand and pulled Xu Yuning into his arms, protecting her tightly, like he wanted to build a safe harbor for her with his own flesh and blood.
“Yunin, something like this will never happen to you again.”
Musashi was extremely serious.
He wasn’t telling Xu Yuning something, but making a promise to Xu Yuning.
Xu Yuning buried her face in Mu Sijun’s arms and nodded vigorously, her eyes warmed up a little more, but she managed to control herself and not let the tears spill out.
In order to cover Mu Sijue and Xu Yuning, Ah Guang and Interpol’s people were like burning bullets, constantly firing towards the stairway entrance, building an impenetrable door with bullets, forcing Dongzi hard enough to not dare to come out.
The island was in even worse shape, with spreading embers everywhere, and the fire was engulfing the place in a flood.
The whole island is scarred and devastated.
Mu Sijue and Xu Yuning just hugged each other tightly, not caring about the environment here.
Mu Sijun’s powerful palm was pressed tightly against Xu Yuning’s back, coaxing her, “It’s okay, don’t cry.”
A sentence that pulled Xu Yuning back to reality.
Xu Yuning took a deep breath and pushed Mu Sijiu away.
She was obviously extremely upset, but she could only do her best to maintain her peace of mind, wiping the corners of her eyes with a stiff-lipped retort, “Who told you I was crying?!”
Mu Sijiu stared at Xu Yuning in a good mood, “What tears are you wiping if you haven’t cried?”
“……”
Xu Yuning’s hand hardened at the corner of her eye and froze as she looked at Mu Sijiu.
It’s so true that when people get sick their reflexes go down with them.
If it was in the past, where would she have been so easily choked by Mu Si Jiu?
“Alright, don’t cry.” Mu Sijiu continued to coax Xu Yuning with a cajoling tone, “I said I would come.”
“…… “Xu Yuning stared at Mu Sijue, “You …… “She opened and closed her mouth, for a moment she actually didn’t know what to say.
Right at this moment, Ah Guang appeared out of nowhere and said, seriously ruining the atmosphere, “Seventh Brother, Sister Yuning, it’s like this – this island is about to be blown up and sunk by us. If you guys want to chat or flirt|flirt, can you change the place?”
Mu Sijun looked around, the fire was already approaching them more and more, and the temperature on the island was gradually rising.
Here, indeed, we can’t stay any longer.
He took Xu Yuning’s hand, “Go!”
Xu Yuning did not have the power to resist at all, the whole person was pulled by Mu Sijun, but could not help but turn back.
All she could see was the stairway.
Mu was inside the stairway, well out of her sight.
Was it too late to say a proper goodbye to her and Mu for the last time?
Mu Sijun turned back, a glance knew what Xu Yuning was hesitating, and without any nonsense, he directly intercepted Xu Yuning and picked her up, his footsteps firmly forward.
Now, Xu Yuning couldn’t even see the stairway, and could only struggle in Mu Sijun’s arms, “Have a talk, you put me down!”
“No need to look, you won’t be able to see that brat.” Mu Sijun glanced at Xu Yuning, calmly but surely stating a fact to her, “It’s impossible for him to come with us.”
“……”
Xu Yuning stared blankly at Mu Sijue, and after a long while, snappily lowered her eyes and did not speak.
Mu Sijun saw the endless loss from the corner of her eyes.
“Yuning, Mu Mu is Kang Ruicheng’s son. This is something that you should know better than me.”
On this matter, Mu Sijiu did not intend to comfort Xu Yuning, he wanted Xu Yuning to be more conscious of the facts and let go of Mu Mu this attachment.
Xu Yuning didn’t want to listen to Mu Sijun as if he was talking, and inclined her head so that Mu Sijun wouldn’t see her expression.
But the curve of her lips betrayed her sadness.
Mu Sijiu eventually softened his heart, sighed lowly, and said, “Yuning, I will accompany you in the future.”
“…… “I don’t know how long it took, but Xu Yuning slowly said, “During this period of time, it’s always been Mu Mu who accompanied me.”
This period of time was the most difficult and apprehensive period of Xu Yuning’s life.
Mu had come here at the cost of her own safety in order to be with her through it.
All of this Mu Sijiu knew, and he admitted that he was grateful for the brat’s companionship to Xu Yuning.
But that was no reason for him to be soft.
When he reached the rope ladder, Mu Sijun put down Xu Yuning and signaled her to climb up, “Go up.”
“Bang!”
Just then, another explosion went off.
Xu Yuning followed the source of the sound back, his eyes almost subconsciously staring at the stairway.
Seeing this, Mu Sijiu spoke, “Mu Mu is with Dongzi, Dongzi will take care of him even if it costs him his life. There’s nothing for you to be uneasy about.”
Ah Guang decided to give Mu Sijun a helping hand, “Cough”, said: “Sister Yuning, seventh brother is right. On the contrary, this place, really can’t stay any longer, let’s get on the airplane first.”
Mu Sijun narrowed his eyes a bit, like a threat and a compromise, “Yuning, if you don’t want to climb up, it’s fine-”
Xu Yuning thought that Mu Sijun would say, “I can throw you up there.”
In his usual fashion, it is all too likely that he would say such a thing.
However, the truth greatly exceeded her expectations–
Mu Sijun surprisingly breezily said, “It shouldn’t be a problem if I carry you up with me.”
“Pfft–” Ah Guang like being pointed to the laughter point, a spurt of laughter out, after a few laughs probably feel embarra.s.sed, busy back, “hahaha” continue to laugh.
Younin Hsu: “……”
