Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 171 In My World You Are Only a Spectator

I walked to the pool, got up, took off my windbreaker, wrung it out, and hung it over my arm.

I looked at my jeans, they were all wet, and the blood on my T-shirt was soaked to the chest. There was nothing I could do but leave it like this for now.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing. Please continue to lead the way. I have something else to do." I looked at Hao Weiran with a smile.

Hao Weiran looked at me, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes were filled with scrutiny and confusion.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?"

I turned around and looked at the person who was talking. It was the woman who had been following Grandma Jiang. Li Xin was standing next to her. She must be leading the way. They walked towards us.

Li Xin glanced at me, then looked past me at Hao Weiran and frowned.

Li Xin walked up to me and stopped. He looked at Hao Weiran with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes and his expression darkened.

"I accidentally walked into a puddle." I tugged at Li Xin's sleeve. Li Xin was too smart and must have known that I was lying, but I didn't want Li Xin to provoke Hao Weiran because of me.

Li Xin didn't look at me, he just kept staring at Hao Weiran, then he raised his foot and walked towards Hao Weiran.

I blocked Li Xin and stood in front of him.

Li Xin lowered his eyes and looked at me, without even having time to hide the cruelty in his eyes.

I felt even colder and got goosebumps.

"I'm cold!" I looked at Li Xin, hugged my arms and rubbed them. I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt today and didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

Li Xin looked at Hao Weiran again.

"Young Madam, please come in quickly. The weather is getting colder and your whole body is wet. You will get sick!" The woman looked at me respectfully.

"Well! Do you know how to get to where Grandma Mo Chen works?" I looked at the woman. It was really cold! My teeth started to chatter.

"I know. Are you going there? I'll take you there. There are clothes there for you to change into." The woman extended her hand to lead the way.

I pulled Li Xin and said, "Come on! Go with me! It's too cold outside."

Li Xin looked at me, took off his sweater and jacket and put it on me, then took my wet windbreaker.

Warm! Warm! I wrapped Li Xin's sweater tightly and pulled his arm hard, "Let's go!"

The three of us walked a short distance to a separate room. When we entered the room, it was warmer.

The furnishings in the room are simple and elegant, with a large wooden table in the middle of the room.

"Come with me. Here are clothes that suit you. Change quickly." The woman hurried into the deeper room.

I pointed to the chair next to the table and said, "Sit there and don't go anywhere else. Wait for me to come out, okay?"

Li Xin looked at me, and the pressure in his eyes was no longer there, but it had not fully recovered.

I just looked at him until Li Xin sat down.

"Go quickly."

Although the tone was cold and serious, he listened. Very good, I turned and walked into the inner room.

The woman brought me a green cheongsam with three-quarter sleeves. After I changed into it, she wiped my half-wet hair and used a wooden hairpin to help me tie it into a nice bun.

"It looks so beautiful!" The woman reached out and brushed the hair around my ears.

Then she brought me a pair of high heels that were not too high.

After I put on my clothes, I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked good and felt better!

I walked out of the inner room and saw Li Xin still sitting outside, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he frowned slightly and lowered his eyes. I don't know what he was thinking about, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be thinking about good things.

I still like the warm Li Xin.

I looked at Li Xin and coughed lightly.

Li Xin turned and looked at me.

I saw a glimmer of light in Li Xin's eyes, and then his eyes softened.

I am still somewhat confident about my appearance.

"How is it? Does it look good?" I looked at Li Xin with a smile in my eyes.

"It looks good." There was a hint of smile in Li Xin's eyes.

"If you dare to say it doesn't look good, I'll be angry with you! Humph!" I walked to the seat next to Li Xin and sat down.

"These clothes designed by the old lady are just like they were made according to the young lady's figure. How can they not look good? Anyone who says they don't look good must have something wrong with their eyes!" The woman took a light pink shawl embroidered with white flowers and put it on me.

"Young Madam, warm yourself up first."

The woman turned to a cabinet in the room and said, "The cabinet contains all the things left by the old lady. She has been keeping them all the time! She just told me to take a look at them. Madam, you are welcome to look at them. She treasures them very much and has never let anyone touch them."

"I'll look through it carefully, don't worry."

The woman looked at me and smiled. "Then you sit down. I'll ask someone to bring tea. You caught a cold just now. A cup of tea will make you feel better."

The woman went out.

I wrapped my scarf around my wrist, stretched out my hand and turned it around to look at it. It turns out that beautiful things look good no matter where you wear them.

"What happened just now? Don't tell me you fell into the water by accident!"

I looked at Li Xin and said, "My scarf fell into the water, and I went to pick it up and accidentally dropped it in. Look, it's still wet!"

I stretched out my hand to Li Xin and showed him the scarf on my wrist.

Li Xin frowned and stared at me.

I sighed, "Don't worry about me and Hao Weiran. I know how to deal with him! Use my method."

"Your method?"

I looked at Li Xin, "Yeah! If it was the old me, he should have been in the water when you saw us!"

"But I remembered what you said to me. I suddenly don't want to do that!"

"You said he was interested in me, didn't you? He did all this just to get me to pay attention to him, but I won't! I won't even glance at him!"

"Why should I spend my energy on someone who has nothing to do with me! Wouldn't he be very proud of it?"

"This kind of dispensable person is dispensable in my world. He has no right to participate in my world."

I smiled and said, "So, you are not allowed to pay any attention to him. If you have time, help me think about what gift to give to grandpa! Let's finish work early and you can take me out for a delicious meal."

Li Xin listened to me carefully, and then he smiled.

I looked at Li Xin’s sunny and handsome face again and smiled with him.

……

We carefully placed grandma's things on the table. Many of the clothing designs were hand-drawn with a pen. They were not only beautiful, but also the works of a master. The strokes were crisp and concise, and not a single stroke was redundant.

I looked through my grandmother's clothing design manuscripts in amazement, and I felt a sense of admiration for her. I was particularly curious about what kind of woman she was.

"Have you met Grandma Mo Chen? I haven't heard Mo Chen mention her."

Li Xin put down the cloth sample in his hand and said, "I haven't seen it. He died a long time ago. It is said that he was ill. I didn't ask for the details. It's not good to ask about such a sad thing casually."

I nodded. The last time my grandfather saw me wearing a cheongsam, he mistook me for my grandmother... My grandfather's tears... Thinking about it now, my heart aches.

"What are you thinking about?"

I came back to my senses. "I came here with Grandpa that day. Thinking about the way Grandpa saw me that day, I feel very sad. The most precious thing in the world should be that I am here when you need me, not just that I love you."

“Whether it’s separation in life or death, the one left behind suffers the most. Being unable to love or being unable to love are both the cruelest things.”

I sighed and looked at the draft in my hand. Last time, Grandma Jiang said that Grandpa hadn't come for a long time. Maybe he didn't dare to look at old things. Seeing the things would remind him of the past. It was terrible.

I got flicked on the forehead.

I looked up at Li Xin.

"Now that you have experienced this, shouldn't you protect yourself well?"

"Why are you talking about me?"

"Didn't everything you just said just happen? It's just that you weren't the one who was upset."

"You are exaggerating! I only slept for 5 days and it healed. How serious can the injury be?"

"During the day and night you were in the emergency room, the doctor told us the worst possible scenario. Every minute and every second was a torment for those who cared about you." Li Xin looked at me seriously.

"What about you? Really! I feel bad for the people who care about you. Don't do this kind of thing again."

"Well, given the situation at the time, I couldn't think too much. I instinctively wanted to protect Mo Chen. It was probably because the people of the Nangong family were born to protect the people of the Gongyi family."

"This is our fate. Sooner or later, I will leave before him. He will have to learn to face it like his grandfather did..."

"I have my mission, he has his..."

I swallowed the pain in my heart.

"But... luckily he still has you... he will have many grandchildren in the future. Maybe his grandchildren will also be restless and disturb him so much that he won't have time to recall the past!"

I thought about how my grandfather and Mo Chen got along with each other, and I felt much more relieved.

I turned to look at Li Xin who had been silent. Li Xin lowered his eyes and didn't look at me.

I waved my hand in front of his eyes. He wasn't distracted very often.

Li Xin looked up at me, his eyes trembled slightly, and then he smiled and said, "I'm tired and want to take a walk. You can look for it yourself first."

I watched Li Xin stand up.

"You are not allowed to go too far. You are allowed to walk within 100 meters of the door!" I looked at Li Xin with a smile.

Li Xin smiled, he reached out and rubbed my head. "I'll listen to you! I'll smoke a cigarette and come back to help you."

I opened a box and found a scroll inside. I opened it and found it was a painting, not yet finished, of two people.

I looked inside the box. There were painting tools and a photo. I took them out and looked at them.

An old photo shows a young man in a camel-colored suit, which is crisp and well-tailored. Although the photo is not that clear, one can still see that the man has a gentle and reserved temperament, and the woman has a graceful figure. The beige cheongsam makes her figure look more graceful and elegant.

The two held hands, looked into each other's eyes, and were full of love.

Could it be grandparents?

I looked at the painting and it was indeed a painting of the person in the photo.

There is a date on the back of the photo, and the date is exactly my grandfather’s birthday.

Is this the birthday present that grandma wants to give to grandpa?

Unfinished birthday present...

"looking at what?"

Li Xin walked back to me and looked down at the painting in my hand.

"What's wrong with this Danqing? You keep staring at it."

I smiled and said, "I found a birthday present for Grandpa."
