Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?
Chapter 111: Shadow of the Cold War, Ripples in the Heart
"Mengmeng, are you really okay?" Lin Wan'er asked worriedly, looking at Chu Mengmeng's slightly pale face.
Chu Mengmeng forced a smile and shook her head: "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night." She didn't want to make her best friend worry, and she didn't want to mention the argument with Xiao Yichen last night. That argument was without smoke, but it was like a dark cloud, weighing heavily on the hearts of both of them.
"Did you have a fight with Yi Chen?" Lin Wan'er was very thoughtful and could see through Chu Mengmeng's thoughts at a glance.
Chu Mengmeng bit her lip and finally chose to remain silent. There were some things she couldn't say, and she had no idea where to start.
At this time, Su Mubai hurried over, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere in the room. He looked solemn and said in a hurried tone: "We have discovered a new enemy. The situation is urgent. You need to leave immediately!"
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were both stunned when they heard the news. They subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes met, but they quickly looked away. In the brief encounter, complex emotions flashed by, but eventually they all calmed down, as if nothing had happened.
When facing a common enemy, they had to temporarily put aside their personal grudges. However, the rift between them was like an insurmountable chasm, stretching between the two of them and making their hearts drift further and further apart...
Before leaving, Chu Mengmeng deliberately kept a distance from Xiao Yichen. There was no communication between the two, only suffocating silence. Lin Wan'er and Su Mubai noticed the abnormality between the two, but they didn't say much, and could only sigh in their hearts.
"Mengmeng, is there any misunderstanding between you and Yi Chen?" On the way to the mission location, Lin Wan'er finally couldn't help but ask.
Chu Mengmeng shook her head and said nothing. She just turned her head to the window, watching the scenery rapidly receding, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
On the other side, Su Mubai also tried to communicate with Xiao Yichen: "Yichen, what happened between you and Mengmeng? Is there anything that can't be explained clearly?"
Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Some things can't be solved by just talking clearly."
Su Mubai wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Xiao Yichen: "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's focus on the task at hand."
Su Mubai knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only sigh helplessly. He knew that Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were both gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and once they made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
They all knew that some things had to be resolved, but now, they didn't have the courage to face it.
And the new enemy lurking in the dark was staring at them eagerly, waiting for the best opportunity to strike them a fatal blow...
Chu Mengmeng shook her head and said nothing. She just turned her head to the window and looked at the scenery that was rapidly receding. Her mind was filled with thoughts. Xiao Yichen's words were like a thorn in her heart, causing her pain. How could he say such a thing? After they had fought side by side for so long, did he still not believe her?
Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Some things can't be solved by speaking clearly." He also wanted to be honest with Chu Mengmeng, but some things, once spoken out, would only make the relationship between them more rigid.
After arriving at the mission location, the four of them quickly entered combat mode. The enemy was more cunning than expected, hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen cooperated well and repelled the enemies one by one, but at this moment, an accident happened.
"Mengmeng, be careful!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed, and saw a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the side, with sharp claws heading straight for Chu Mengmeng's heart.
Chu Mengmeng was unable to dodge and a bloody mark was cut on her arm. Blood immediately gushed out and dyed her sleeves red.
"Mengmeng!" Xiao Yichen's eyes were bloodshot. He rushed forward, protected Chu Mengmeng behind him, and waved his sword to force back the enemy.
"Are you okay?" There was a slight tremor in Xiao Yichen's voice as he nervously checked Chu Mengmeng's injuries.
Chu Mengmeng avoided his hand without leaving a trace, and said in a cold tone: "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Xiao Yichen's hand froze in mid-air, a hint of hurt flashed across his eyes, but in the end he said nothing and just returned to his seat silently.
After the battle, Xiao Yichen left alone, using the excuse that he had something to do. Su Mubai looked at Xiao Yichen's lonely back, then looked at Chu Mengmeng, who was pale, and couldn't help but sigh.
It was late at night, and the light in Xiao Yichen's room was still on. He flipped through ancient books, looking for prescriptions to treat injuries. Finally, he found a herb called "Purple Heart Grass", which was said to have excellent hemostatic and tissue regeneration effects.
The next morning, Xiao Yichen went out of the city alone to look for purple heart grass. His efforts paid off, and he finally found this precious herb on a cliff. The process of picking purple heart grass was very dangerous, but for Chu Mengmeng, he was willing to do anything.
After returning to his residence, Xiao Yichen crushed the purple heart grass into mud, carefully wrapped it, and placed it at the door of Chu Mengmeng's room, but he never had the courage to knock on the door. He didn't know whether Chu Mengmeng would accept his kindness, but he still hoped that she could understand his intentions. The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window lattice and fell on the head of Chu Mengmeng's bed. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up and opened the door, but unexpectedly found a delicate little box at the door.
There was no signature on the box, but Chu Mengmeng recognized it at a glance as the sandalwood box that Xiao Yichen often used. She hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the box. In the box lay a bag of black medicinal mud, emitting a faint fragrance.
Chu Mengmeng certainly knew what this was. This was a wound medicine made from purple heart grass, which was very effective in treating external injuries. She thought of Xiao Yichen's nervous expression yesterday, and a ripple appeared in her heart.
He still cared about her, didn't he?
Chu Mengmeng put away the medicinal mud and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
However, when she faced Xiao Yichen again, she returned to her former indifference.
The city defenders gathered together to discuss how to deal with the newly emerged enemies. According to reliable intelligence, these enemies are powerful and extremely cunning, and have posed a serious threat to the safety of the city.
"I think we should take the initiative and nip the enemy in the bud." Xiao Yichen spoke first, his tone firm and powerful.
"I agree." Chu Mengmeng's voice was cold and without any warmth.
It was rare for the two to agree on the same opinion, but there seemed to be an invisible gap between them. There was no eye contact throughout the whole process, only cold air spreading between them.
After the meeting, Chu Mengmeng stood up and left without staying for a moment. Xiao Yichen looked at her leaving back, feeling mixed emotions.
He knew that Chu Mengmeng was still angry with him, but he didn't know how to resolve this cold war.
The new enemy, their cold war, all of this was like an invisible net that entangled them tightly together and made them unable to escape.
A bigger crisis is quietly approaching. Can they put aside their differences and work together to overcome the difficulties?
