Chapter 424: Not an Illusion, She Was Within Reach

on," and bounced a few steps back to the man.The man was very tall with long legs. He also had a faint scent of agarwood sandalwood, which smelled particularly good.Mu Xing looked up at him, her voice..."Tap, tap, tap..."

High heels tapped the ground, a languid rhythm that was alluring.

Under the warm yellow light, a girl in a black vintage long dress seemed like an aged painting that had fallen out of an ancient book, slowly stepping from the old times into this flamboyant night. She was a beautiful woman, unexpectedly appearing in this bustling evening.

The delicate features I remember have lost their youthfulness, becoming stunningly beautiful.

Shen Yi stared at her, his mind in a whirl.

And Fu Lingxiao, the moment he heard the footsteps, turned around and ran without hesitation.

When Jiang Yan saw him charging towards Mu Xing, he immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Mu Xing, coldly saying: "What do you want to do!"

Fu Lingxiao couldn't wait to get closer to his Xing'er. He didn't even bother saying a word like "get lost," he grabbed Jiang Yan's neck and was about to throw him away, when his wrist was suddenly grasped by a slender little hand.

The touch was warm and soft, Fu Lingxiao's heart skipped a beat, but he heard the indifferent voice laced with a warning: "Let him go."

Xing'er was angry with him because of another man.

Why would a hallucination feature another man...

Fu Lingxiao's pale face showed a hint of grievance, but he still obediently let go, "I listen to you, baby don't be angry."

He soothed her softly, reaching out to hug Mu Xing.

Mu Xing pressed her bag against Fu Lingxiao's chest, her expression indifferent as she looked at him, "Go get your eyes checked, Mr. Fu. Your brain and eyes, you always need at least one of them to be working."

Having said that, with a gentle push of her hand, she sent him flying out.

But just this simple action, Fu Lingxiao inexplicably felt as if she had pulled him back from a hallucination to reality.

Everything around suddenly became incredibly clear.

The existence of stars is not just a feeling, but a real existence.

She stood before him, and he could even hear her faint breathing.

She is now within his reach...

His heart pounded violently, Fu Lingxiao's empty eyes trembled with a glimmer of mist, his hand hanging by his side clenched tightly, his bones turning a ghastly white.

It was such a clear feeling, he could be sure that this time it wasn't an illusion.

The shattered flesh still bore the weight of unbelievable confusion and broken weakness. The whole person seemed like a rusty, out-of-order machine, stiffly standing there unable to move.

Even breathing, is slowly coming to a halt...

Mu Xingjian stood there silently, without another word. He glanced at Jiang Yan, "Let's go."

Jiang Yan was currently covering her aching neck. She was stunned by Fu Lingxiao's "baby" and froze there. Hearing Mu Xing's voice, she immediately came back to her senses and left with her.

A graceful figure walked past with elegant strides.

Shen Yi was startled awake by the crisp sound of footsteps. He frowned and grabbed a passing diner, pointing at Mu Xing's retreating figure and asking, "Can you see her"

The diner gave him a strange look. "Sure,"

Therefore, what he saw was not an illusion.

Shen Yi quickly chased after him and stopped him.

Her path was blocked, Mu Xing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her indifferent voice carrying a hint of displeasure: "Are you blind too"

Shen Yi stared at the familiar face before him, feeling as if his soul had been struck.

He didn't believe there was anyone in the world who could be so similar to this person, and that person was Mu Xing.

Three years ago, someone who died has somehow come back!

But...she doesn't seem to remember them.

Shen Yi tried his best to control his astonishment and politely said, "I'm sorry, my brother was a bit rude just now. I apologize on his behalf. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"No need."

Mu Xing directly refused to leave.

Shen Yi stopped her again, a smile playing on his lips. "You'll have to wait a long time in line, and some dishes here are limited supply. If you're late, you won't be able to eat them. We booked a private room. If you don't mind, we can share a table and pay our own way."

Mùxīng saw that this person wasn't planning on letting her go easily, so she exchanged a look with Jiāng Yàn and agreed, "Okay."

Shen Yi turned his head to look at Fu Lingxiao, "Lao Fu, come here quickly!"

The man who stood there like a sculpture finally reacted. His clenched fists loosened and then clenched again, he took a labored step forward.

Four people walked toward a private room on the second floor.

Shen Yi walked in the front, leading the way. Mu Xing and Jiang Yan walked side by side in the middle, while Fu Lingxiao suppressed his emotions and trailed far behind.

I came into the room and sat down.

Shen Yi handed Mu Xing a menu, then flipped through it himself while secretly eyeing her.

Mu Xing took in every move Shen Yi made, silently finishing the order with Jiang Yan, then looked up at him, "Is it good-looking"

Her beautiful eyes suddenly looked over, with a touch of nonchalance, shimmering with charm.

Shen Yi was stunned, his mind suddenly flashing back to the scene of their first meal together.

It's also here.

Mu Xing called out to Shen Yi, "Shen Yi, Shen Yi," and told him that when she learned how to cook, she would cook for him.

That innocent and naive look, he still remembers it to this day.

Three tumultuous years, everyone experienced so much. The naive little girl finally grew up for real.

Shen Yi gazed at her, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Beautiful, breathtakingly so."

Mu Xing lightly pursed her red lips and said nothing, her gaze shifting to the man sitting beside Shen Yi.

He pursed his thin lips, his eyes hollow. His pale and thin face lacked any expression, cold and still like an iceberg.

The contrast between this and the earlier image of him racing over, calling her softly “honey,” is stark.

In this case, only schizophrenia can explain it.

And Fu Lingxiao, the moment Mu Xing looked at him, keenly felt it.

He longed to hold her close at once, to wrap her in his arms and kiss her with all his might. He wanted to tell her of the remorse and guilt that had consumed him these past three years, how she'd haunted his dreams, how his heart ached with pain.

But he couldn't, he wouldn't.

Fu Lingxiao gritted his teeth, clenching his fists even tighter, desperately trying to control himself and not let any emotion show.

The waiter brought the dishes quickly.

Mu Xing's whole attention was drawn to the food, eager to taste it.

Shen Yi didn't speak, quietly serving dishes for Fu Lingxiao.

Fu Lingxiao cooperated very well, picking up his chopsticks and eating slowly. He couldn't let Xing'er worry, he had to act as normal as possible.

Everyone ate their own food, and it was a peaceful meal.

After dinner, Mu Xing nodded to Shen Yi as a farewell gesture and then left with Jiang Yan.

As soon as they left, the man who had been calmly eating picked up the trash can and vomited into it.

Long-term self-torture, refusing to eat, surviving on nutrient injections, his body could no longer adapt to such a large amount of food intake.

By the end, there was only blood left.

Fu Lingxiao leaned weakly against the chair, his face pale and covered in cold sweat. After only a few seconds of relief, he said urgently: "Call Yuntuo."
