Morning Star

Chapter 413 Why is it different when it comes to you?

Chujiu thought he was serious and held his hand tightly, fearing that he would really cut his hair short. But she also felt that what he said made sense.

As soon as her eyes turned, she saw him take out the Xuanli Sword. She was shocked and her pupils shook.

There's no need for that. It's just a hair cut. There's no need for the Xuanli Sword, right?

Seeing the sharp blade about to touch his hair, he shouted without thinking: "Didn't you promise your mother not to cut your hair? You can't go back on your word! Besides, it's been so many years, it would be a shame to cut it so long. Don't you agree?"

When the first sentence came out, Mo Xinglan's face was condensed, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. When he put away the Xuanli Sword, his eyes were full of scrutiny.

I was just trying to tease her, but I didn't expect her to say this.

He grabbed her hands and asked, "How did you know this?"

Is it what he thinks? I hope not.

"W-what...this...that?"

She then remembered what she had just said. She felt guilty and dared not look at him, her heart pounding.

Seeing that she didn't say anything and was hiding, he raised his lips slightly and slowly approached her. His voice was extremely gentle, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone: "Jiu'er, are you hiding something from me, huh?"

He was the only one who knew this, how could she know it?

Chujiu looked at the smile on his lips, her heart beat faster, her eyes wandered around, and her tongue began to get tied.

"I, I, I, where, where is it?"

Lian Lian leaned back: "You, you, you, don't, don't come any closer."

He smiled even more: "Didn't Jiuer say that I smell good and that she liked the smell of me? Why, you don't like it now?"

"No, no, I like it, but..." She wanted to push him away but was afraid of hurting him, so she didn't dare to use too much strength.

"But you, you come so close to me, I..."

She was flustered! She felt guilty!

Mo Xinglan finally stopped, but kept this posture: "Then what else are you hiding from me?"

"I, how could I possibly... hide anything from you... I didn't..."

Her eyes were wandering as she spoke, and she became more and more guilty as she spoke, until she fell silent.

However, this made Mo Xinglan even more certain of his guess, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

"No? If not, why are you hiding?"

"I……"

He sneered: "Did Piao Miao let you see something?"

"My past? Huh?"

He should have thought of it a long time ago, but he just never thought about it deeply.

"You...I..." She froze. She didn't expect that he would guess it so easily.

He has always been very concerned about his past, so he didn't want to tell her, but she knew it without his consent. So, will he be angry?

No, he was already angry.

She sighed, turned her head away from him, and answered quietly, "Yes."

"..."

Even though he already knew the result, he still stood there in a daze.

After a while, he let her go and leaned back against the couch, his drooping eyes looking a little empty.

Chujiu waited for a long time, but only waited for him to let go of her. She was stunned for a moment and adjusted her posture to sit down.

She glanced at him cautiously: "Are you... not angry?"

"I know it's wrong to look at your past without your consent, but, but I can't help it. Under that situation... and... I, I am indeed... curious..."

She knew she was in the wrong, so she spoke more and more quietly.

Mo Xinglan's eyelashes trembled slightly. He felt ridiculous when he thought about how he had not told her before because he did not want to add to her troubles.

She clearly knew it all along, so why should she be angry?

He curled his lips in self-mockery: "Since you already know everything, why did you ask before?"

Chujiu thought of her feelings during that period and suddenly felt unhappy. But because she had to take care of his health, she didn't dare to show it.

He bit his lower lip and took a deep breath. "I do know, but only a small part. And I also said that I want to know more about you. I want to hear you tell me in person, just like I told you about my past in person."

Mo Xinglan was stunned. After a moment, he lowered his eyelashes, lowered his head, pulled the corners of his mouth, and whispered to himself: "Should I tell you how miserable my past was? Or should I tell you how miserable and unhuman I lived for revenge?"

Because she had seen his bad side before, which left a bad impression on her, he tried his best to make up for the bad impression on her and show her his best side.

He didn't want to recall the unbearable past and wanted to stand beside her as a brand new self. But why didn't she understand?

"No, that's not the case!"

Chujiu stood up and yelled at him.

After yelling, he felt that he was too excited and paused to calm down.

"What I saw was a child who was innocent and lovely, who needed the love and care of his mother just like any other child in a normal family. He also liked to eat candy, could cry and laugh, and was afraid of pain."

She choked up a bit and said, "You are more sensible, obedient and strong than them. Even after encountering something like that, you still try your best to live, even if it's for revenge, no matter how painful it is, you still try your best to live. Isn't it because you try your best to live that you are where you are now?"

"Xingxing..." She took a step forward and sat back on the couch, holding his hand gently in her palm. "You are very good, really very good. No matter what kind of you you are, I can accept you."

His long eyelashes trembled and he slowly raised his eyes to look at her, and opened his mouth: "Even if I hurt you, can you accept it?"

He had hurt her more than once and had even tried to kill her several times.

Chujiu smiled softly: "I can accept it. That's because no matter who it is, after experiencing so many things, it is impossible for their character not to change."

At the beginning, he was full of thorns and built a high wall in his heart. He hurt others to prevent them from getting close to him, and also hurt himself to prevent himself from leaving.

If this situation continues for too long, anyone would collapse. It is good that he is doing well now.

She lowered her head and rested it on the back of his hand. "I admit that I didn't understand why you wanted to hurt me before, so I was very angry and afraid of you. But later I gradually understood and was no longer afraid. It was also at that time that I realized that I had fallen in love with you."

Her lips trembled, and her drooping eyes were filled with tears.

It must be painful and confusing when you pull out the thorn, right?

She choked up and rubbed the back of his hand: "Xingxing, you are really good to me. You indulge me, indulge me, and protect me, which is more than what my parents have done for me. Only in front of you can I do whatever I want freely and act like a child."

He is only a teenager, and should be protected by his parents. But his mind is beyond his actual age. How many experiences must he have gone through to become like this?

"You don't have to blame yourself for what you did in the past. I like all the stars, whether they are past, present or future."

After she finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. Mo Xinglan opened his thin lips but didn't know what to say. Instead, he gently pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

He rubbed his chin against the top of her head: "Jiu'er, how can you be so nice?"

So good that he felt that he was not worthy of her. No, it was not that he felt that he was not worthy of her. He had always been above her.

The sweet fragrance filled her nose, and Chujiu buried her head directly into his neck, immersed in this warm embrace.

But the voice was muffled: "Who made that person you?"

Mo Xinglan felt like his heart was melting when he heard this answer.

However, he soon regained his composure.

I only heard Chujiu said sullenly: "But if you hide something from me, I don't think you are good."

His heart skipped a beat and his eyes flashed: "What did I hide from you?"

"Do I still say the word 'hide' if I want to know what you are hiding from me?"

She moved unhappily and tried to get out of his arms, but Mo Xinglan held her tightly and she couldn't move.

Mo Xinglan suddenly felt a little dizzy and slowly lowered his eyes: "I'm not telling you because it's for your own good."

"Why is it good for me?" She frowned, very disapproving, and spoke with some excitement.

She struggled to break free from his embrace with her hands supporting the couch, and said angrily, "Although I just said that I can act like a child in front of you, I am not really a child. Is there anything you can't tell me? If there is really something serious, it is better for two people to think of a solution together than alone, right?"

"..."

He leaned against the back of the couch, lowered his head and fell silent.

Seeing his expressionless face, Chujiu knew that he didn't want to talk. He immediately became angry: "If you don't let me hide anything from you, I will tell you everything. But what about you? Why is it different for you? This is not fair, not fair at all!"

“…It’s not the right time yet.”

Mo Xinglan was silent for a while and then spoke softly.

Chujiu took a deep breath, already a little impatient: "What is the time then? Is it only the time when it has already happened?"

His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyelashes were trembling slightly, and he opened his lips, his voice was hoarse and weak: "...I..."

Before he could finish his words, his head tilted back and he lost consciousness.

"..."

Chujiu quickly reached out to support him, and looked at him with a pout, feeling both distressed and angry.

Why did he faint at such a good time? When he woke up, he would not be able to answer any questions.

She sighed and carefully helped him lie flat on the couch.

……

The breeze is cool and the weather is bright and sunny today. The golden leaves are falling like a rich family scattering gold.

The Chu family's house was decorated with red silk everywhere. Disciples, servants, and elders from the family were coming and going, chatting and laughing, making the place very lively.

The Gao family's main hall was filled with joy. Sitting in the center of the hall were the head and mistress of the entire Chu family, Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin. To the left of Chu Congnan was the old head of the Gao family, who was also the chief elder of the entire Chu family. Sitting next to him were the head and mistress of the Gao family.

On one side of the red carpet were Chu Wenxuan, Elder Qi of the Mo family, and Amuda and his men, and on the other side were the second elder and the third elder and their men.

Others sat in the second row, the third row...

Everyone looked at the newlyweds walking slowly towards them holding hands with their bride, with joy on their faces.
