Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Chapter 221: Nothing in vain

Mu Xue sat there quietly, a hint of worry in her eyes. After hearing Li Yunlong's answer, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Her expression was slightly solemn, as if shrouded in a faint haze, and her thoughts seemed to have drifted far away.

"Did something happen to you? You seem very unhappy."

Li Yunlong's voice broke the silence, his concern was beyond words. There was a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes as he stared at Muxue.

Since Li Yunlong asked, Mu Xue raised her head slightly, sighed softly, and slowly told him the story.

Her voice was calm but with a hint of helplessness as she recounted in detail what had happened that morning, mentioning her identity as a doctor and the various worries deep in her heart.

Occasionally, a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes, as if those troublesome scenes were constantly being played before her eyes.

"Don't worry about it! Don't dwell on those unhappy things. Just eat everything. After you're done, I'll take you somewhere nice!"

Li Yunlong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, trying to use light words to dispel the haze in Mu Xue's heart. His smile looked very contagious, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Mu Xue just said "hmm" softly and started eating slowly.

Her usual lively and agile appearance was completely gone. Her movements were slow and mechanical, and her eyes were a little empty. It was obvious that she basically didn't listen to what Li Yunlong said. She was just immersed in her own thoughts. Everything around her seemed to be separated from her by a layer of transparent glass wall.

The two of them finished dinner soon, and as agreed, Li Yunlong excitedly took Muxue to a fun place.

"Have you ever flown? How about I take you flying once today?" Li Yunlong's eyes were shining with excitement, like a child who was about to reveal a magical treasure.

Before Mu Xue could say anything, he grabbed Mu Xue and flew up without hesitation.

Speaking of which, this was Mu Xue's first time to feel the sensation of flying in the sky. Well, it didn't seem like she was flying, but rather being caught by someone and flying. Anyway, it was still flying.

Mu Xue's heart suddenly jumped, and an unprecedented sense of tension and novelty surged into her heart. Her eyes widened slightly, and she looked at the gradually shrinking scenery below with some helplessness.

Li Yunlong grabbed Muxue and went straight out of the city. He flew all the way with a nimble and agile body, and brought Muxue to a place outside the city with a large lake.

Although this place is outside Huayan City, there are still quite a few people here, and many things are sold here.

The cries of small vendors can be heard one after another, a wide variety of special goods are on display, and the crowds are bustling and lively.

"Why don't they set up stalls in the city? I clearly saw people setting up stalls in the city!" Mu Xue frowned, with curiosity in her eyes, and asked the doubts in her heart.

“Although stalls are allowed in Huayan City, the stall fees are very high. You can also set up stalls here, which is also near Huayan City and free, but it’s a little colder.

Moreover, there are mountains and water here, and the scenery is also very beautiful, so this is a very good choice." Li Yunlong explained patiently, with a hint of familiarity and love for this place in his eyes.

Li Yunlong flew straight over the "bustling city" below and flew farther with Muxue.

They came to the other side of the lake, which was sparsely populated and so quiet that the only sound was the gentle sound of the breeze blowing across the lake, forming a sharp contrast with the "bustling city" opposite.

The two of them landed directly at this place, with soft grass under their feet and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere around them, as if time had slowed down here.

"It's very quiet here. When I'm feeling down, I like to come here to calm my mind. There are fish and shrimps in the lake. I think this is an indispensable tourist attraction."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of comfort and relaxation on his face. As he spoke, he pointed to the calm lake. Occasionally, ripples appeared on the lake, as if the fish underwater were playing mischievously.

Li Yunlong kept explaining to Mu Xue the various places in Huayan City, the long history of each place, and the stories behind them.

His voice is magnetic, and he vividly tells those ancient legends and interesting stories of the past, like an experienced tour guide or an old friend sharing treasure stories.

While listening to Li Yunlong's story, Mu Xue sat aimlessly on a big rock on the shore and threw stones into the lake.

Her eyes were somewhat vacant, her thoughts still lingering on her previous troubles. She casually threw the stones in her hand into the lake, splashing small water droplets.

"Hey! How about we play skipping stones? Do you know how to play?" Li Yunlong suddenly had an idea, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, his face full of anticipation, as if he had found a great idea to make Muxue happy.

"I don't know how to play it. I've never played it before." Mu Xue replied indifferently, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her eyes, and turned to look at Li Yunlong.

"Then I'll teach you. Watch me. First, find a flat stone. Squat down slightly, turn sideways toward the water, and pinch the stone between your thumb and index finger, with your middle finger resting against the bottom..."

Li Yunlong explained in great detail and demonstrated personally as he spoke. His movements were smooth and natural, every step was precise and in place, and his eyes were focused and serious. Mu Xue quickly understood and learned it.

"Come on, let's see who can hit more at once!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he directly threw the stone in his hand, "Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!" After five sounds, the stone fell into the water.

He had a confident smile on his face and stood tall, like a handsome silhouette standing by the lake.

Li Yunlong could actually use the power of the stars to allow himself to drift out more times, but if he really used it, it would be really boring.

He hoped that Muxue could truly enjoy the pure gaming process.

Mu Xue looked at the stones thrown by Li Yunlong and thought it was quite interesting, so she tried it as well.

She threw the stone: "Pah! Pah!" It only floated twice and finally fell into the lake.

Mu Xue lost and pouted slightly, but there was a hint of unwillingness and competitiveness in her eyes.

"Twice! Is this really your first time doing this?!?!

It happened twice the first time!

So talented!

If you practice more, you will definitely be like me. Come on! This is for you, keep up the good work."

Li Yunlong's smile was bright and sincere, and the expression on his face showed that none of his words were false.

He encouraged Muxue enthusiastically, his eyes full of trust and expectation. He bent down, picked up a flat stone and handed it to Muxue.

Mu Xue was also somewhat happy with what Li Yunlong said, and she had forgotten all the bad things that happened today.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, and his eyes became brighter.

In this way, Muxue was responsible for throwing, and Li Yunlong was responsible for "loading ammunition" for her. Muxue was really talented in this aspect. She hit it twice the second time, but after the third time, it was as if she had found the door to knock, and she directly hit it three, four, five and six times!

Her eyes became more and more focused, her body posture became more and more standard, and every time she threw a stone, she was full of anticipation.

"Wow! You're amazing! Do you have any tips?!?! Can you teach me? Please!"

Li Yunlong widened his eyes exaggeratedly, his face full of amazement and admiration. He clasped his hands together and made a look of request, which made Mu Xue laugh out loud.
