Mu Xue and Mu Xue

"Go away. From now on, we'll just pretend we've never met. This ten strings of cash will be your compensation for all these years."

Lin Mo threw the purse on the ground with an expressionless face, and every word he said seemed to be spoken with all his strength.

The purse fell to the ground with a dull sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent and depressing atmosphere.

After Lin Mo said his final goodbye, he resolutely turned around and left. His figure revealed an unspeakable loneliness and determination.

Muxue Ziyuan glanced at Lin Changqing, then looked at Lin Mo's back, bit her lip, and quickly caught up with Lin Mo, leaving Lin Changqing still kneeling there.

The rain was falling softly, not heavy, but as dense as an icy net, ruthlessly covering the world.

Raindrops hit Lin Changqing's body. After a while, his clothes were completely wet and stuck tightly to his body. His already hunched body looked even older under the wet clothes. Every wrinkle seemed to hide the bitterness and helplessness of the years.

Lin Mo walked very fast, but his heart felt like it was being weighed down by a huge rock, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

His heart was now filled with a complex and turbulent emotion, an indescribable discomfort, as if countless fine needles were piercing deeply into his heart and lungs.

His eyes were red and his throat seemed to be choked by something. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't.

His steps were a little unsteady and he almost tripped several times.

His mind kept flashing back to the little things that happened at the Lin family. For a moment, his steps paused slightly. He had an urge to turn back, to rush back and help Lin Changqing up, and then say to him the words "I'm sorry" that had been lingering on his lips countless times.

But he couldn't, he couldn't do it.

During his time at the Lin family, Lin Changqing was indeed quite nice to him. He always took him to visit relatives and friends, and praised him for his extraordinary intelligence and talent to everyone he met.

At that time, Lin Changqing's eyes were full of pride, and Lin Mo could also feel the sincere father's love.

He once thought that he had a happy family and would live happily forever.

He still remembered that when he was in school, he saw a classmate had a lovely sister. The sister was like a little angel and surrounded the classmate. His heart was full of envy, so he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he could also have a sister.

Finally, Muxue was born. That small, pink and tender baby was like the most precious gift given to him by God.

He held his sister in his arms with joy, looking at her unopened eyes, small nose and slightly pouting mouth, and felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

He couldn't wait to hold his sister in his arms and show her off to his friends. His friends gathered around him, their eyes full of envy. At that moment, his heart was filled with pride.

However, this joy did not last long.

When the family members saw Muxue, there was no trace of love in their eyes, but instead naked contempt and disgust.

Those gazes were like sharp knives, mercilessly piercing Lin Mo's heart.

As they grew up, Lin Mo gradually saw the true face of this family, a family deeply corrupted by the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls.

Once upon a time, he thought that with a younger sister, the family would be warmer and more beautiful.

Their family was well-off and they had no worries about food or clothing. He even thought that even if he lived his whole life as an ordinary person and did not pursue becoming a powerful practitioner, as long as he could live happily with his family, that would be enough.

But reality was like a loud slap in the face, shattering his beautiful dream.

In this family, girls are like superfluous existences, with no status and no dignity.

Although Lin Changqing is often proud of him and likes to show off his excellence in front of others, the praise from others is like a double-edged sword. While satisfying Lin Changqing's vanity, it also makes him more demanding of Lin Mo.

If Lin Mo made any mistake, he would be severely reprimanded.

Under the long-term pressure of such harsh demands, Lin Mo's desire to escape from this home was like a seed, taking root and sprouting in the darkness, growing stronger day by day, and finally making his determination to escape become extremely firm.

But now, when he was about to leave, he realized that he still had an inseparable affection for this home.

This emotion was like an invisible thread, tugging at his heart and causing him great pain.

"Don't follow me for now, let me be alone."

Lin Mo suddenly stopped and turned around to speak to Ziyuan and Muxue behind him.

His voice was a little hoarse and his eyes were full of fatigue and pain.

Ziyuan looked at Lin Mo, and her eyes, which usually always had a smile on them, were now filled with worry.

She knew that Lin Mo needed some alone time to sort out his emotions.

Although Ziyuan likes to joke around, she also knows how to read people's expressions and understand the situation.

She knew exactly when to lighten the mood with laughter and when to remain quiet.

So, she gently pulled Muxue's hand, nodded slightly to Muxue, and the two turned and walked towards the execution ground.

The gloomy atmosphere of the execution ground seemed to echo their heavy mood at the moment.

Yan Liyu and Yun Yufei had arrived at the agreed location early, and the air around them seemed to become a little solemn because of their waiting.

Ziyuan saw them from afar. She winked at Muxue, then waved vigorously in the direction of Yan Liyu and Yun Yufei, signaling them to come over.

"You guys are here, eh? Where's Brother Mo? Isn't he here?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Yun Yufei's bright eyes. He stretched his neck to look behind the two of them, trying to find Lin Mo's figure.

His voice echoed in the air, tinged with doubt.

"He couldn't come because of something, so it's just the two of us."

Ziyuan frowned slightly, a hint of imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes, but he still quickly answered the two people's questions.

Her voice sounded calm, but only she knew that Lin Mo's departure made her feel a little uneasy.

Mu Xue seemed to have lost her soul. She lowered her head and looked at the ground with empty eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if there were thousands of words stuck in her throat, but she didn't know where to start.

The noise around her seemed to have nothing to do with her. She was immersed in her own world, unable to extricate herself.

"Okay, let's go to the stands first. It's okay anyway."

Yun Yufei scratched his head and suggested.

His eyes swept over Muxue and Ziyuan, trying to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Then, they walked towards the stands.

The execution process was long and cruel, and the air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

Until the execution was over, Mu Xue was like a silent statue, not saying a word, and always looked like she was worried about something.

Her brows were furrowed, her face was pale as paper, and her eyes revealed deep pain and confusion.

"What's wrong with Xue'er? She looks like she's worried and hasn't said a word so far today."

It was Yun Yufei who first noticed that something was wrong with Mu Xue. He stopped and looked at Mu Xue with concern, his eyes full of worry.

His voice was very soft, for fear of disturbing Muxue's fragile nerves.

"No...nothing, I just thought of some bad things, that's all. I'm going to find my brother first, you guys go play first."

Mu Xue seemed to wake up from a dream, her voice trembling a little, and her eyes avoided Yun Yufei's gaze in panic.

After saying that, she ran away in a hurry, looking so lonely and helpless.

She didn't know where Lin Mo had gone. She just felt as if she was in a vast fog and couldn't find her direction.

Her steps became faster and faster, as if she was running away from something terrible.

She now feels very confused and doesn't know where she is going or where she can go.

The world is so big, but there is no place where she can feel safe.

She stood there for a moment, as if struggling with an inner struggle.

Her eyes were full of hesitation and pain. After a while, as if she had made up her mind, she turned around and ran out of the academy.

Her hair fluttered in the wind and tears welled up in her eyes.

She ran desperately to the woods at the entrance of the college. In her eyes, the woods seemed to be the only safe haven.

She didn't know whether she was looking for Lin Mo, Lin Changqing, or just wanted to find a quiet place to lick her wounds alone.

The grove was quiet, with no one in sight, only the leaves rustling in the breeze.

She found a big tree, slowly squatted down against the trunk, and buried her head between her knees.

Now that there was no one around, she no longer had to suppress her emotions and could cry out loud.

Her body kept shaking and the pain in her heart poured out like a flood.

"why?

Why on earth!

Should I not exist? I destroyed a beautiful family. They could have lived a happy life, but I broke their peace. It's all my fault, all my fault."

Mu Xue roared, and the sound echoed in the silent woods, full of despair and self-blame.

Her tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, wetting her clothes.

She cried so hard, as if she wanted to release all the pain through her tears.

I feel like my writing is so bad, so contradictory.
