His throat felt dry and Mu Shengfeng didn't dare to lift his head, merely responded with a soft "hmm".
Chi Yunxi said no more and focused on eating her meal.
Until they finished eating, neither of them spoke again.
Watching Chi Yunxi's retreating figure, Mu Shengfeng's heart felt like it was soaked in hot water, swollen and bloated, making his chest feel somewhat stuffy.
In the afternoon, Chi Jingxuan arrived.
In just a week, Chi Yunxi seemed to have undergone some major upheaval, appearing inexplicably haggard. Seeing Chi Jingxuan's face darken, Chi Yunxi grabbed his arm and said as if making a vow, "I promise, it won't happen again."
"You promise? Can you really keep that promise?"
Speaking coldly, Chi Jingxuan's words were sharp and pointed, "Mu Shengfeng is gone, I fear your heart is dead too, isn't it? From now on, you'll live in this world like a walking corpse. Being a good granddaughter to our grandparents, a good sister to us, a good aunt to Yu Yu and Anan, right?"
