Chapter 727: Metaphysical Phenomenon

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Under Murong Qiao’s meaningful gaze, An Nuo felt like she had instantly become a colorful black.

The last time the water broke down, she borrowed Murong Chen’s washroom. In the end, she was careless and forgot to take it back. Now, he had directly sent it to the hands’ of his Little Sister. This time, she would probably not be able to clear her name.

“This…” An Nuo scratched her head.” Actually, it’s really not what you think.”

Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows. “I haven’t said anything yet.”

“Then I’ll say it!” An Nuo simply gave up.

She told her everything that had happened after she returned that day and how she had realized that the water supply system in the washroom was broken.

Looking at the few toiletries that she had carelessly left in the other party’s washroom, An Nuo felt for the first time that going out for a few days and not coming home was also a kind of pain.

If she had come back home more often and realized that she was missing some things, she probably would not have encountered such an awkward situation.

“So—” Murong Qiao drawled.

An Nuo thought that she was going to ask something again. “That’s really all.”

“So do you like my brother?” Murong Qiao turned a corner and gave her a straight ball.

An Nuo had already thought of how to answer, but after Murong Qiao interrupted and asked another question, her mind went blank.

“Ah?” She reacted in a daze.

Murong Qiao asked patiently again, so this time, An Nuo’s face was as red as a ripe apple.

The answer was obvious.

She was not good at lying to begin with. In front of Murong Qiao, who was extremely familiar with her, even if she wanted to lie and speak, her instant reaction would not be able to hide the answer in her heart.

“…Erm, I definitely like him.” An Nuo’s voice was weak.

If Murong Qiao hadn’t been really focused on listening, she probably wouldn’t have heard what An Nuo was saying.

However, after obtaining an accurate answer, the small question in Murong Qiao’s heart finally disappeared.

After all, she had been thinking that it was impossible for An Nuo not to be tempted at all after working in the entertainment industry for so long. Now, she finally found the reason why she was not interested in anyone at work.

If it was Big Brother, it was normal that nobody could compare to him.

Thinking that Big Brother Murong Chen’s face was even better than many celebrities in the entertainment industry, Murong Qiao suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

Since it was confirmed, Murong Qiao elbowed An Nuo and continued to gossip. “When did this happen?”

It could only be said that with Murong Qiao’s normal attacks, An Nuo’s ultimate moves would all be useless.

At this moment, a second person finally knew about her deep hidden thoughts. There was no point in hiding her true feelings anymore. Thus. An Nuo directly said everything she had been holding back for a long time.

Usually, it was the manager and assistant who followed her around so An Nuo did not dare to tell anyone else. Now that Murong Qiao was here, An Nuo had finally found someone to talk to.

In the end, after Murong Qiao was forced to listen for more than two hours, she finally couldn’t help but interrupt her and point at the clock on the wall.

“We haven’t had dinner yet.” She had no choice but to remind An Nuo and touch her stomach that was already protesting.

An Nuo slapped her head in frustration. “I forgot about it.”

“Wait, I’ll go and see if there’s anything to eat in the kitchen. If we order food at this time, I’ll probably be scolded to death by my manager.” She hurriedly stood up.

In the past two days, for the sake of a new movie, An Nuo had been dieting and maintaining her figure, so she directly removed the option of ordering takeout food.

“Why do all of you have suddenly taken a fancy to my brother.” Seeing that she had finally stopped talking, Murong Qiao could not help but complain.

Two days ago, Shen Xi even called her and told her about Yan Xiu.

Now that she knew that An Nuo also liked Big Brother Murong Chen, Murong Qiao could not help but think of the remaining party, Ruan Ying.

Although the other party did not say anything now and did not even have any contact with her Big Brother, looking at the phenomenon that was like metaphysics, Murong Qiao could not help but think too much.

Thinking of Shen Xi, Murong Qiao picked up her phone and sent her a message while An Nuo was in the kitchen.

[How’s the progress with Fourth Brother?] Murong Qiao could not hide the concern in her heart.

Shen Xi should be resting at home at this time, so the moment Murong Qiao sent the message, the other party immediately read it.

After typing for more than a minute, Murong Qiao thought that she was typing a long speech, but in the end, he only sent a simple sentence. [It should still be… alright.]

Just looking at this answer made Murong Qiao feel that Shen Xi wasn’t confident.

[Didn’t you ask my brother to go to the exhibition with you?] Murong Qiao asked her.

This time, even though it was shown that she was typing, she did not reply for a few minutes.

At this moment, on the other end of the cell phone, Shen Xi looked at the phone screen and poked at the chat box with her fingertips for a long time, but she could not find anything to answer.

Actually, she could not figure out Yan Xiu’s attitude at all, nor could she figure out what he thought of her, so she was feeling empty and uncertain.

That day, Xiao Gu had helped her arrange to go to the exhibition. Of course, it was successful in the end. However, after Shen Xi dressed up carefully and met Yan Xiu at the agreed place, the development was far from what she had thought.

Although it was an arranged date, Yan Xiu was really just focused on admiring the exhibition. Even when he stood in front of the work, he would only say his opinion from time to time.

In the end, after this, Shen Xi, who was originally focused on the date, had no choice but to follow Yan Xiu’s train of thought. She had to see the works from beginning to end, and the two of them could only discuss the works.

To say that there was communication, the two of them definitely had a lot of discussions. However, if this was a date, thinking that most of the conversations were academic, Shen Xi felt that this was not considered a date.

Shen Xi bit her lip in confusion. She lay on the bed and put on a thoughtful expression at the phone screen. This had already become her normal behavior in the past few days.

[I was very happy attending the exhibition.] In the end, Shen Xi could only answer Murong Qiao like this.

Of course, when she asked Murong Qiao about Yan Xiu’s hobbies previously, she also seriously chose some gifts for him.

However, Yan Xiu’s expression when he accepted it was indifferent and really unfathomable.

As a result, after Shen Xi racked her brains and troubled herself for a few days, she simply gave up on such an action that could be said to be causing trouble for herself.

This was not the first time she had come into contact with Yan Xiu. The other party’s personality had always been like that.

Even if he didn’t like her…

Thinking of that possibility, Shen Xi’s eyes dimmed for a moment before becoming firm again.

She had to get an outcome eventually.

Seeing that An Nuo and Shen Xi each had their own goals, Murong Qiao was silent for a moment before thinking about herself and Huo Yichen. She immediately felt very strange.

The others were still at the starting line, and they were almost at the finish line.

Perhaps it was because whatever she was wishing for came true.

Just as Murong Qiao thought of Huo Yichen, the other party sent a message.

[Are you really not coming back tonight?] It was clearly words, but Murong Qiao could see the other party’s regretful tone from these words.

She poked the keyboard with her fingertips, as if she was expressing her protest and resentment, trying to pass it to the person opposite the screen through this method.

[No!]
