Time Travel and Love

Seeing her faint, Mo Liujin held her tightly, refusing to let go. His hands, tightly holding her, were trembling slightly. No one knew that he had just been shocked by Chu Qingmeng's fear. Ever since he met her, she had always been cheerful and cheerful. Even when she was injured, in times of plague, or fighting enemies on the city walls, she had never shown such fear. Even when he first met her in the tomb, she was a woman alone in the tomb, encountering those man-eating insects, but he had never seen a trace of fear on her face. Why today? Mo Liujin looked at Mu Lingxue and said, "Princess Sinong, you and her have always been good friends. You said she was lost in memories. Do you know what memories they were?"

Mu Lingxue frowned, shook her head, and said, "I don't know. I only know that she was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. She was a good student, but because she was an orphan, no one could support her education. She was rejected by all the jobs she could find because of her young age. Later, she simply stopped going to school and had to rely on illegal work to support herself. That's all I know about her."

"What is an orphanage?" Mo Liujin asked.

"Leng Ji and the others are orphans, right? They were raised together by you since they were young. Places like this are called orphanages there." Mu Lingxue answered by giving an inappropriate example.

Yet, this inappropriate example was perfectly misunderstood by Mo Liujin. He tightened his grip on Chu Qingmeng, looking at her with undisguised heartache. "The Secret Guard Camp?" Mo Liujin knew all the torture methods used there, because only in this way could they cultivate highly skilled and obedient Secret Guards like Leng Feng. Had Qingmeng also been there? But she didn't know any martial arts. Was it because of this torture that she was lost in memories of that torture just now?

At this time, Chu Qingmeng and Mu Lingxue had no idea that Mo Liujin had misunderstood the orphanage, nor did they know what he had imagined. However, when Chu Qingmeng sobered up the next day, he always felt that Mo Liujin looked at him with such tenderness that it could squeeze water out of him. Chu Qingmeng squinted at Mo Liujin, weighing the issue for a long time before finally speaking, "You, you, what are you looking at?! Don't look at me like that! Is this a beauty trap?! Even if you sell your beauty, don't even think about getting the formula for the explosives."

Seeing that she was now able to laugh and joke, Mo Liujin knew that she had forgotten what happened yesterday, so he didn't bring it up again. He handed Chu Qingmeng a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Then I will only sell my beauty, not the recipe, is that okay?"

While they were chatting, Mo Liuyuan and Mu Lingxue walked in. Seeing that she had woken up, they expressed their concern for her. Then Mu Lingxue asked, "Qingmeng, what happened to you yesterday?"

Mo Liujin's breathing hitched for a moment. He was afraid Chu Qingmeng would act like she did yesterday, but Mu Lingxue had already asked. He could only sit nervously by the bed, ready to knock her out at any moment. But Chu Qingmeng hid the pain in her eyes and just smiled nonchalantly, saying, "Nothing. I just thought of something and couldn't come to my senses for a while. Oh, right, I suddenly remembered something yesterday. It seems the price of the mushroom cloud was very high."

"Right." Mu Lingxue took a sip of tea. "At least ten years, nothing will grow. I really didn't expect that thing to be so powerful. Otherwise, even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to dismantle it with my bare hands."

"Tear it down with your bare hands?" Mo Liuyuan grasped the key point in Mu Lingxue's words, then directly pulled Mu Lingxue up and said to Chu Qingmeng, "You rest first. We need to talk. I want to see how much more I don't know."

After saying that, he tried to pull Mu Lingxue away. Seeing his dark face, Mu Lingxue knew he was angry. She broke free from his hand and looked at Chu Qingmeng with a pleading look, saying, "Qingmeng and I haven't finished talking yet."

"Hmph." Mo Liuyuan snorted coldly, put his arm around Mu Lingxue's waist from the front, and pulled her into his arms and carried her away.

"Haha." Chu Qingmeng, who was leaning against the bed, couldn't help but laugh when he saw them like this. He looked at Mo Liujin and said, "You two brothers look alike when you're angry and have dark faces."

Mo Liujin looked at her, staring straight into her eyes, and said coldly, "Well, you and Mu Lingxue are very similar when they are bold and reckless."

Chu Qingmeng shrugged guiltily, stuck out his tongue, turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

Mo Liujin pinched her chin and turned her head to look at her. "You were so scared yesterday, why didn't you let me come? Why didn't you tell me? Do you not believe me, or did you never think that I would always be with you?"

Chu Qingmeng looked at him, not knowing how to answer. She could only step forward and kiss his lips. But how could Mo Liujin let her get away with it again this time? He gently pushed her away, letting her lean back against the bed again, and looked at her seriously, "Answer my questions well. Don't try to evade."
