Feng Qishi withdrew the bitter smile from his face as the wind stirred, grinning, "Without them, I wouldn't have met you, so for me, it was worth it."
"The way you say that makes me feel uncomfortable," Mu An Xiao said, walking into the amusement park.
"Even I feel uncomfortable saying it," Feng Qishi followed her in, pointing at the rides ahead. "Let's go."
Mu An Xiao stopped and glanced at Feng Qishi. Just as she was about to step forward, someone grabbed her by the collar. Startled, she turned her head to look at Feng Sen, who was pulling her, and said, "Let go."
"Mu An Xiao, I truly never expected to meet you again," Feng Sen said.
Feng Qishi watched Feng Sen's mischievous smirk and then looked at the girl standing beside him, his brow furrowing deeply.
"Let go," Mu An Xiao spat out the two words coldly.
Feng Sen very cooperatively released his grip and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Mu An Xiao straightened her collar and turned to Feng Sen, "I'm out with your brother."
Feng Qishi hadn't expected Mu An Xiao to say that and his eyes widened.
"Brother..." Feng Sen repeated, scanning his surroundings. "Did my brother go buy you something?"
"No, he's right beside you," Mu An Xiao said.
Feng Sen looked at the girl beside him with a confused expression, then back at Mu An Xiao. "You mean my cousin, Qu Tian, right?"
"No, your actual brother," Mu An Xiao said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Sen's face turned half-green. "You must be joking."
"I'm not joking," Mu An Xiao stated coldly.
The girl, hearing Mu An Xiao's words and seeing the expression on Feng Sen's face, said, "Didn't your brother pass away?"
"Don't listen to her nonsense," Feng Sen said, looking down at the girl.
The girl looped her arm through Feng Sen's and said, "What she's saying seems to be true."
"This girl is always so high-strung, don't listen to her babbling," Feng Sen said, patting the girl's hand.
Mu An Xiao shifted her gaze to the girl's face and smiled, "This is your girlfriend, isn't it?"
"That's none of your business," Feng Sen retorted curtly.
"Didn't you say you liked me? I can't believe that after only a few days, you've found someone new. Tsk, tsk, you're such a scummy guy," Mu An Xiao said provocatively to Feng Sen.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu An Xiao's profile and said, "Why are you talking to him so much? Ignore him. Let's go."
Mu An Xiao deliberately glanced at Feng Qishi in front of Feng Sen and said, "Forget it. Your brother told me not to talk to you. Let's go." With that, she turned and her lips curved upwards.
Feng Qishi watched the corners of Mu An Xiao's mouth and asked, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Mu An Xiao walked away, saying, "He was so rude, what's wrong with me scaring him a little?"
"Well done scaring him," Feng Qishi gave Mu An Xiao a thumbs-up.
Mu An Xiao's lips curved. "I still had a lot more to say, but you stopped me. How about I go back and scare him again?"
"No, talking too much to people like him will just make them narcissistic enough to think you like them," Feng Qishi understood.
Mu An Xiao thought for a moment and nodded, "You have a point."
"Let's go," Feng Qishi said with a smile.
Mu An Xiao smiled and quickened her pace.
Feng Sen and the girl were still standing together. The girl was still cautiously looking around, asking, "Is your brother really not here?"
"How could he be? If you ask me," Feng Sen said, watching Mu An Xiao's retreating figure, "she likes me. This is her tactic."
"Mhm, I think so too," the girl agreed, letting go of his arm.
Just then, a man walked up to Feng Sen's side and said, "Thanks for accompanying my sister."
"Didn't you say you weren't coming?" Feng Sen asked the man.
"I changed my mind," the man said, looking down at the girl. "Come on, brother will take you to play."
"You guys go ahead, I won't join," Feng Sen said.
The girl looked in the direction Feng Sen was looking and smiled, "You're not going to go after that girl, are you?"
"Precisely my intention," Feng Sen nodded.
"Did you go on that blind date your mom set up for you?" the man asked.
Feng Sen's expression stiffened. "Can you not ask about topics that annoy me? That woman was a complete freak. The questions she asked, I couldn't even respond. In short, it's a long story."
"Your mom is something else. Your brother just passed away, and she's already making you go on blind dates. I don't know what she's thinking."
Feng Sen nudged the man's shoulder. "My mom hasn't gotten over her grief. What I'm doing is to distract her, to keep her from being consumed by sadness."
"Your brother too, what was he thinking, committing suicide."
Feng Sen raised his hand. "You go have fun with your sister. I'm not talking to you anymore." With that, he strode off in the direction Mu An Xiao had gone.
The man sighed.
The girl watched Feng Sen's retreating back and said, "Brother, that girl just now said... she came with his brother."
"Which brother?" the man asked.
The girl swallowed. "The dead brother."
Upon hearing this, the man's face darkened. "No one his brother knew is normal. Don't take it seriously."
"Mhm," the girl nodded, and they walked away together.
Meanwhile, Mu An Xiao had already boarded the carousel. Feng Qishi stood beside her and said, "Are you being childish?"
Mu An Xiao ignored Feng Qishi's words and pointed at the empty carousel horse beside her, asking, "Why aren't you getting on?"
"I never ride these," Feng Qishi said.
"No one can see you anyway," Mu An Xiao frowned slightly.
"I can," Feng Qishi pointed at Mu An Xiao.
Mu An Xiao smiled, closed her eyes, and said, "Now I can't see."
At the same time, Feng Qishi inadvertently looked towards Feng Sen, who had stopped, breathing heavily, and was smiling at Mu An Xiao. "Congratulations, your trouble has arrived."
Hearing this, Mu An Xiao opened her eyes and turned her head, seeing Feng Sen at that exact moment.
"What's he doing here?" she muttered.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu An Xiao and smiled, "That girl just now was probably his friend's sister. He doesn't have a girlfriend."
"And then?" Mu An Xiao asked.
"And then, he's coming for you," Feng Qishi said.
"Damn it," Mu An Xiao closed her eyes in annoyance.
"He's very persistent, be careful," Feng Qishi said, crossing his arms.
Mu An Xiao looked at Feng Qishi's relaxed, watching-a-show expression and inexplicably asked, "Is it good?"
Feng Qishi uttered an "En."
"What 'En,' I asked if the show is good?" Mu An Xiao deliberately glanced at Feng Qishi's arms crossed in front of him.
Feng Qishi chuckled a couple of times, lowered his arms, and said, "It's stopped. Good luck."
"You're not allowed to leave," Mu An Xiao pointed at Feng Qishi and said, then got off the carousel.
