Yun Muxi followed the voice and saw Gu Yuxuan standing at the door and smiling sweetly at her. When seeing her, Yun Muxi was very happy because she hadn"t seen her for a long time.
Yun Muxi ran to the door and rushed at Gu Yuxuan. They hugged each other hard and expressed their miss for each other.
"Xuanxuan, where have you been these days? You didn"t even call me."
"You didn"t call me either."
After a while, Yun Muxi loosened her hug and put her hands on Gu Yuxuan"s shoulders. Looking her up and down, she found that there seemed to be something different in her, who was full of brilliance. As she was confused, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a gentle man with gla.s.ses stand behind Gu Yuxuan.
Yun Muxi turned to look at this man, who wore a gold-rimmed gla.s.ses with a kind of trustworthy and affinity between his eyebrows. He had a high nose and slightly compressed his lips, looking elegant and gentle. He gave others a lukewarm feeling, which made them feel it both easy and hard to approach him. He made people feel comfortable like the morning sunlight. Wearing a casual T-shirt, beige pants, and a light brown casual jacket, he looked well-dressed and gentle.
Spotting Yun Muxi"s gaze, Gu Yuxuan turned back to look at the man behind her with sudden shyness. The sweetness in her eyes had already explained everything.
"Xiao Xi, let me introduce this man to you. He is Murong Xu. Xu, this is my best friend, Yun Muxi."
Yun Muxi chuckled and said, "Oh? I"m your best friend, what about he?"
Gu Yuxuan lowered her head in shyness, and her cheeks turned reddish. Murong Xu took one step forward and said with his arm around her shoulder, "I"m her boyfriend."
Yun Muxi looked at Murong Xu and appreciated his frankness very much. She then turned to look at Gu Yuxuan. "Xuanxuan, no wonder you didn"t have time to contact me. It turns out that you meet and fall in love with a handsome guy. You put love before friendship."
"No! I am not... I happened to... meet him." Gu Yuxuan blushed and explained.
Murong Xu lowered his gaze at Gu Yuxuan and said with a little dissatisfaction in his tone, "Oh?" "Did we just happen to meet?"
Gu Yuxuan hurriedly began to explain. "Hey... Xu, I didn"t mean that!" She then turned to shoot a glance at Yun Muxi, because of whom, she said the wrong thing.
Yun Muxi looked at the two who seemed to have a good relationship, and she was very satisfied.
"Xuanxuan, how did you come here to find me?"
"Oh, I just came back last night and went to your house this morning to find you, but you and Niannian were not at home, so, I called you, and still, no one answered, so, I decided to come here to see if I could find you."
"Oh, I thought I was dressing up in the fitting room when you called me, so, I didn"t hear my phone ring. I only have two scenes to perform today. If you are not in a hurry, wait for me to finish them, and then, we can find a place to have a chat, but if you have something to do, you can do your things first, and we can make another appointment."
"It doesn"t matter as we are free today. We will wait for you, and I haven"t seen you filming yet."
Yun Muxi nodded and turned into the filming set.
When Yun Muxi finished filming, it was already noon. She apologized to Gu Yuxuan and said, "Xuanxuan, I"m sorry to let you wait for me for so long. I"m going to wash off my makeup and change my clothes. Later, let me treat you a meal, and we can meet at the place we used to go."
After the explanation, Yun Muxi walked into the dressing room. When she came out to exit, the men in black suits immediately followed her.
Gu Yuxuan looked at them in confusion and asked, "Xiao Xi, what are they doing?"
Yun Muxi looked back at those men behind her and smiled awkwardly. "Well, I"ll explain to you later when we take a seat in the restaurant."
Murong Xu saw those men and observed Yun Muxi without any words.
Yun Muxi got into the car arranged by Murong Ye while Gu Yuxuan went into Murong Xu"s car. The cars arrived at a restaurant where Yun Muxi and Gu Yuxuan used to go.
The location of the restaurant was somewhat remote, but the environment there was very good with few customers. The most important thing was that Yun Muxi and Gu Yuxuan loved the foods there very much.
They took their seats in a private room, and as soon as Yun Muxi sat down, she looked at Gu Yuxuan with pity and guilty. "Xuanxuan, I"m sorry. You suffered a lot because of me."
Gu Yuxuan smiled carelessly, and the two dimples on her face were particularly brilliant. "No, we don"t need to say thanks or sorry to each other since we"re good friends. However, thanks to this, or I wouldn"t have met Xu."
After saying this, Gu Yuxuan looked up at Murong Xu, and her eyes were full of sweetness of a girl in love. Yun Muxi was very pleased to see this. Gu Yuxuan got good out of misfortune. Seeing that Gu Yuxuan find her love, Yun Muxi really felt happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
"Xuanxuan, how do you know each other?"
Gu Yuxuan glanced at Murong Xu and was overwhelmed by the sweet memories between them.
Back to the day when Gu Yuxuan did not know how long she had been kidnapped, she was locked in a small enclosed room, and there was nothing in it except for the gray walls and a cold iron gate. She was tied up in the middle of a chair. Sometimes, the kidnappers would beat her and sometimes whip her, but what had hurt her the most was the offensive words of the woman in the mask.
That woman would insult her, intimidate her, and even let her fall into an extreme desperation. She knew that she had become the chip they used to deal with Yun Muxi and thought that the end of Yun Muxi and Niannian would be worse than hers. Just as she was almost crushed and about to go crazy, a group of men in black suits broke in and rescued her. However, the woman who insulted her was like a ghost and was not there at the time, so they did not catch her.
Later, these men sent her to Murong Xu, who was writing a thesis in a quiet place in the other city. The environment of the place was very good, and there were a chic and unfrequented villa and a courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers like a paradise.
When Gu Yuxuan just arrived there, Murong Xu seemed to be very unhappy about her arrival and thought that she would disturb him, but, out of some reasons, he had to take her in. As a result, she was disliked at first.
Gu Yuxuan was covered with injuries and exhausted when she was brought there. Murong Xu cleaned up her wounds and found that her most serious injuries were not physically but mentally. He didn"t know what she had experienced, but out of a psychologist"s instinct, he had a desire to cure her.
Murong Xu was very modest and gentle. He gave people a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze. Although he was not very enthusiastic to others, he was not aloof either, which made Gu Yuxuan feel comfortable. He would change the dressing of her wounds every day and would also give her psychotherapy. During the other time, he would shut himself in the studying room. Gradually, Gu Yuxuan found that she began to look forward to spending time with him every day. She was scared by her own thoughts as she did not know why she would have such a feeling for a man she had known for only a few days.
In addition to the two of them, there were only some aunts who would come to the villa to clean the house and cook for them every day. Since there were only Murong Xu and her in the house, she began to act carefully. However, something unexpected happened.
One night when she came out of the bathroom after a shower, she saw Murong Xu sit on the sofa in her room and looked sleepy and in a bad mood.
Murong Xu pointed at the beer on the table and said faintly to her. "Come to drink with me."
It was the first time that Gu Yuxuan had seen Murong Xu like this, so, she stepped forward to sit down beside him and asked, "What happened to you today? You look weird."
"Nothing, I"m just not in a good mood. Psychiatrists also need to relieve their bad feelings."
After saying that, Murong Xu picked up a bottle of beer and gave it to Gu Yuxuan before fetching one for himself and drinking it up. Gu Yuxuan was shocked to see Murong Xu drink so heavily.
She went forward to seize the beer from Murong Xu, "Hey, you can"t drink like this, or you will get drunk."
The moment her fingertip touched Murong Xu"s finger, Gu Yuxuan quickly withdrew her hand as if she had touched electricity. She looked away and said, "You shouldn"t drink like this; you will get drunk."
Murong Xu got lose to Gu Yuxuan and whisper in her ear, "But I want to get drunk. Staying awake all the time makes me tired."
Murong Xu"s hot and alcoholic breath blew Gu Yuxuan"s ears, which made her blushed.
Murong Xu leaned back against the sofa and took a gulp of wine. "Drink with me. It"s so lonely to drink alone."
Murong Xu"s words were full of sorrow, which made Gu Yuxuan could not bear to refuse him. She lifted her wine and started drinking with Murong Xu. The two drank in silence.
As Gu Yuxuan drank more and more wine, she was emboldened by the alcohol and spoke to Murong Xu boldly, "Murong Xu, let"s start chatting."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Whatever. Why do you live here alone?"
"In order to seek peace."
"Where are your families?"
"They are in A city."
"Well, I also live in A city. My best friend and I went to University Z in A city together. We grew up together and have never been separated before. This is the longest time that we"re parted since we met each other! Oh, no, it should be the second time. The other time she had been away for a long time. Do you have a best friend?"
"Yes."
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No!"
"Have you ever fallen in love with a girl?"
"No!"
"You studied in a school only for boys?"
"Of course not!"
"Ah? Are you gay? Otherwise, how could you have not fallen in love with a girl even once?"
"Well, do you want to check if I am gay?"
