"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Upon hearing Speechless say that, Shi Xiaobai and Mu Lengxi's gazes immediately turned heavier.
They had heard the conversation between Speechless and Tyrant Li. Other than hearing the terrible relationship between the father and son, they also understood a few things. For example, Speechless knew very well what had happened in the mourning hall. It also meant that he had not suddenly revived or awoken. Instead, he had seen everything.
Then, the story of meeting Buddha Gautama in the Western Paradise was obviously not to be taken seriously. Although Tyrant Li's story was' sinister ', it was the most logical. If Speechless had not' faked his death ', how could he know everything that had happened outside while lying in the coffin? And how could he suddenly' revive 'at the most critical moment?
However, with Speechless's character, how could he do such a thing? By faking his death, he had not only caused his family and friends who were concerned for him to grieve, he had also framed Shi Xiaobai as the murderer. Furthermore, he had caused his mother and sister to be coerced by Tyrant Li. Speechless was a kind and upright person, so he definitely would not have done such a thing.
But no matter how unwilling they were to believe it, there was no way to deny the possibility that Speechless's death was too sudden and strange.
However, if Speechless had really faked his death, how did he do it? And why did he do it?
Shi Xiaobai was eager to know the answer, but he was also worried that he would hear the answer he did not want to hear the most. He felt conflicted as he fell silent for a moment before saying seriously, "This King wants to hear … the truth."
A lie was definitely a white lie, but the truth might be the cruel truth.
Shi Xiaobai chose the latter because he wanted to know the truth. It was also because he believed that Speechless was a gentleman and not a hypocrite.
"Alright."
Speechless nodded with a smile. Suddenly, he turned around and took his mother from Mu Lengxi's arms.
"The wind is strong tonight. I'll carry my mother back to her room first to prevent her from catching a cold."
Speechless carried Mu Zhaorong in his arms. His gaze was gentle as a gentle smile suffused across his lips.
Shi Xiaobai nodded. He naturally had that bit of patience.
Speechless smiled slightly as he carried Mu Zhaorong to another wing of the courtyard.
Shi Xiaobai turned his head to look at Mu Lengxi, who did not follow. His pupils constricted as he was slightly alarmed.
The moonlight was lonely. Under the bright and poignant moonlight, the beautiful silver-haired girl stood there, staring blankly at the back of her elder brother who was walking towards the side room. Her eyes were slightly red, and her face was filled with sparkling tears.
"Why are you crying?"
Shi Xiaobai hurriedly asked out of concern, "Could it be … that you're not feeling well?"
Mu Lengxi was jolted awake as she turned to glance at Shi Xiaobai. She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her tears as a blush slowly suffused her face. It was as though she was embarrassed that she had suddenly cried. She shook her head forcefully.
A moment later, she wrote on the writing board, "I'm just too happy. Brother is still alive. That's great. Actually, when Mom divorced that person when I was young, Brother wanted to leave with Mom but Mom did not agree to it. She only took me away. Back then, Brother was very angry and said that he would not call her 'Mom' in the future. So when I heard Brother say 'I'll carry my mother back to her room first', for some reason, I suddenly felt like crying. Then … "
Shi Xiaobai gave a knowing smile. The girl who loved to cry was actually crying tears of joy. How could she not be happy with a reunion with her family and a reconciliation of past grudges?
Mu Lengxi suddenly stuck out her tongue and picked up a pen to write, "Actually, I was always angry with Brother in the past. I felt that he was too insensible. Mom did not take him away clearly because that person did not agree to it. Mom would definitely be very upset, but he said those words out of anger. It made Mom even more upset, so I said, 'If you don't call me Mom, I won't call you Brother in the future'! Hmph, at least he knows what's good for him. If not, I would definitely not call him 'Brother' for the rest of my life. Oh, but now, I still have to consider it … "
Mu Lengxi was in high spirits. She immediately became a chatterbox again and wrote a bunch of words.
The first time Shi Xiaobai met this girl, she was also lively and adorable. She was clearly a 'mute', but she was more talkative than a chatterbox. It made people unable to hold back their laughter, but they could not help but feel their hearts ache for her.
However, compared to the 'silent' melancholic girl, Shi Xiaobai preferred such a 'chatterbox' that was lively and chatterbox.
He followed up by asking, "Consider what?"
Mu Lengxi suddenly frowned slightly and after a moment of hesitation, she wrote, "Brother Xiaobai, sorry. Brother … might very well be faking his death. Although I can't figure out why he would do so, the possibility is very high. Brother has' framed 'Brother Xiaobai as the murderer. Regardless if he has any ill intentions, it's too much! We have to punish him. I'm considering not calling him 'Brother' in the future. Brother Xiaobai can beat him up, but … Brother Xiaobai, can you forgive him … "
The girl's eyes had a pleading look in them. She was afraid that this matter would cause the person she liked to turn against her brother.
Shi Xiaobai said with a smile, "Don't worry. I believe your brother is not a hypocrite. If he is really faking his death, he must have his reasons. Furthermore, we should believe him. He is not someone who would do something like faking his death. "
Mu Lengxi glanced at Shi Xiaobai and suddenly lowered her head to fall into silence. Moments later, she looked up and wrote, "Brother Xiaobai, actually, Brother's name is not Speechless. His real name is … Li Xianglong."
Shi Xiaobai was surprised. Li Xianglong?
This name seems to come from … Xianglong and Tiger?
But why did Mu Lengxi suddenly change the topic?
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat puzzled, but he continued very cooperatively, "The name Li Xianglong isn't too bad. Why did you change it to a name like … Speechless?"
Shi Xiaobai could not help but make a dig at Speechless' name.
Mu Lengxi covered her mouth and laughed. She blinked her eyes and wrote, "The name Speechless was originally just a nickname. First, there was a person on Tieba who called it that. Later on, more and more people called it that, so everyone began calling it that way. In the end, Brother felt that the nickname 'Speechless' sounded better than 'Li Xianglong', so he registered his name and really changed his name to 'Speechless'."
Shi Xiaobai could not help but laugh. "As expected of Speechless."
However, Mu Lengxi did not laugh. Her eyes turned slightly heavy as she lowered her head. She picked up a pen and slowly wrote something.
However, just as she wrote halfway, Speechless had already walked out of the wing and into the yard.
Mu Lengxi hurriedly wiped away the words she had written halfway on the writing board and wrote again, "I'll return to my room to take care of my mother. Have a private chat with Brother. Brother will definitely think of a way to send me away. Sigh …"
Mu Lengxi put down the writing board and wiped it away before writing again. However, this time, it was not for Shi Xiaobai. She walked into the wing and when she brushed past Speechless, she raised the writing board for him to see.
Speechless looked at it for a few seconds before nodding slowly.
Mu Lengxi put down the writing board and sped up her footsteps to leave the yard.
Speechless slowly walked towards Shi Xiaobai and sighed gently. "This lass has really grown up. She's sensible."
Shi Xiaobai fell silent as he thought to himself, 'Not only is she sensible, she's so sensible that it makes my heart ache.'
Speechless looked up at the night sky and suddenly said, "It's true."
"What?"
Shi Xiaobai was momentarily taken aback.
He saw Speechless slowly turn his head over. His eyes were bright, brighter than the moonlight.
A meaningful smile suffused across the handsome youth's lips as he whispered, "It's true that I faked my death."
