Mu Anxiao glanced at the wolf demon and said, "Meigui is sensitive. Even if she doesn't believe it now, she will eventually."
"If not, you can keep thinking of ways for me," the wolf demon said indifferently.
As it turned out, Mu Anxiao didn't know how things would develop next, but she knew that A Feng would happily inform Meigui of this matter immediately. As for what the wolf demon was worried about, Mu Anxiao had considered it, but she felt annoyed hearing it from the wolf demon's mouth.
So, she stopped walking, turned, and glared at the wolf demon.
The wolf demon was startled. "Why are you looking at me?" he asked, his voice trembling.
"If you don't believe me, figure it out yourself," Mu Anxiao said, giving the wolf demon a fierce glare before walking away.
The wolf demon's expression stiffened. He muttered, "I was just speaking casually, why the fuss?" He then glanced around and followed Mu Anxiao's pace.
Half an hour later.
With an eager desire to know the answer, the wolf demon cautiously approached the round table and looked down at Mu Anxiao sitting opposite him, giggling twice. "Aren't you bored all by yourself?" he asked, glancing at the red string Mu Anxiao had twisted around her fingers.
"Not bored. Is something wrong?" Mu Anxiao asked without looking up.
"Did you forget?" The wolf demon, afraid to speak directly about A Feng, became roundabout.
"Forget..." Mu Anxiao uttered a single word, then withdrew her fingers that were 'strangled' by the red string. Only then did she raise her head to look at the wolf demon. "You mean that bee."
"Yes," the wolf demon nodded.
"That's right," Mu Anxiao said, standing up and deliberately glancing towards the courtyard gate. "Why hasn't that bee arrived yet?"
"Yes, perhaps he didn't succeed. Or maybe..."
"If he didn't succeed, things will be difficult," Mu Anxiao interrupted the wolf demon.
"Can you go and tell her?" The wolf demon once again placed his hope on Mu Anxiao.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao let out a dry chuckle at the wolf demon. "You mean, you want me to go tell Meigui about this?" That was the only meaning she got from the wolf demon's words.
The wolf demon grinned foolishly.
Mu Anxiao curled her lips and sat down again. "If the bee can't do it, do you think I can? If you ask me," she said, looking up at the wolf demon, "you going is the most suitable."
"My damned charm..."
"Hurting her heart with actions might be the most effective," Mu Anxiao said lightly.
The wolf demon's eyes darkened. "I have no enmity with her. Harming her like this... isn't it too much?" He hesitated.
Mu Anxiao smiled. "You don't want to do this, you don't want to do that, you dare not do this, you dare not do that. Alas," she said, shaking her head slightly. "In the end, you can only leave it to fate." After speaking, she twisted the red string around her fingers again.
The wolf demon hesitated.
Over at the vegetable garden, Xiao Yi was tending to the vegetables while listening to the conversation behind her between the wolf demon and Mu Anxiao. A strange feeling suddenly welled up inside her. She swallowed and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the wolf demon's back.
Just then, the courtyard gate was knocked upon.
Xiao Yi heard the sound and her thoughts were drawn to the courtyard gate. She quickly circled out of the vegetable garden, shouting, "Coming!" as she ran towards the gate.
The wolf demon didn't react, still staring at Mu Anxiao. "I won't go, so I'll leave it to fate. Is that what you mean?"
"Yes, but..." Mu Anxiao's fingers were completely entangled by the red string. This made her feel restless. "There's already a turning point." She then gritted her teeth and forcefully 'struggled' to break free from the red string.
The wolf demon was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, A Feng's voice came through. "Wolf demon, Mu Anxiao, I'm here!" he exclaimed excitedly.
The wolf demon's eyes lit up. He immediately ignored Mu Anxiao's fingers, turned around, and looked at A Feng's face. "What did she say?" he asked, feigning calmness.
"She said it's okay." A Feng arrived in front of the wolf demon.
Mu Anxiao clicked her tongue, realizing that the more she struggled, the tighter the red string became. This feeling... made her irritable.
At this moment, Xiao Yi stopped beside the vegetable garden. Hearing A Feng's reply, she was happy for the wolf demon.
"Really..." the wolf demon said, suddenly noticing something was off with A Feng. "Speaking of which, what did you say to that... Meigui to make her agree to your request?"
"I pestered her, and after pestering, she got annoyed. When she was annoyed, she agreed," A Feng said sheepishly.
The wolf demon assumed that A Feng had spoken ill of him, which was why Meigui agreed to the matter. Who knew... fools indeed have their own ways. He was speechless. "..."
A Feng looked confused. "Why do I feel like you're not happy?"
"Of course, I'm not happy. If that's the case," the wolf demon said, "Meigui agreed to this matter unwillingly. Then, we won't be competing fairly."
"What do you mean?" A Feng asked obtusely.
The wolf demon: "My charm is so great that no matter what I do, it will surely be perfect in Meigui's eyes. Then, even if you do anything, it won't catch her eye. I, on the other hand, will have to marry her. You..."
"I will do my utmost to draw Meigui's attention entirely to myself," A Feng declared with unusual determination.
The wolf demon wanted A Feng's resolute attitude. Seeing him like this, the wolf demon was relieved. "Fine, let's see."
"See you here in three days," A Feng said calmly.
"Here?" The wolf demon was taken aback.
"Meigui is afraid of harming the flowers and plants in the garden, so she asked us to compete here," A Feng said calmly.
"Can we change the location?" The wolf demon didn't want to compete with A Feng here. Not for any other reason, but because he felt that competing here was not formal enough.
"You mean, you want me to pass on the message and find a new place." A Feng was eager to speak with Meigui and became excited.
The wolf demon nodded.
A Feng liked the task given by the wolf demon and immediately agreed. "Okay." He then turned and ran away.
At the same time, Xiao Yi and the wolf demon's gazes met.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi was startled and said, "Why are you looking at me?" She feigned composure.
"Who's looking at you? You..."
"Don't forget the promise you made to me," Xiao Yi interrupted, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
The wolf demon remembered his promise to Xiao Yi and turned around without any complaint, looking at Mu Anxiao, who had finally untangled the red string. "Did you hear that?"
"What?" Mu Anxiao, while rubbing her reddened finger, looked up at the wolf demon.
