"No." Huo Yanqing put his phone back into his trouser pocket. He walked to Shuxin's side and pulled her towards the lounge. Shuxin looked back at Mu Ning Jing. "Good luck."
Mu Ning Jing watched Shuxin and Huo Yanqing enter the lounge before she walked to the door of another lounge. She clenched her fists before she pushed the door open and entered.
After entering the lounge, Mu Ning Jing saw Shen Tingxi sitting on the sofa by the window and smoking. He must have been smoking for a while. The room was filled with the faint smell of cigarettes. When she entered, he looked up at her, but he did not speak.
Such a quiet Shen Tingxi made Mu Ning Jing feel a little lost. His well-defined features were shrouded by a thin layer of smoke, and she could vaguely feel an unfamiliar gloominess.
Mu Ning Jing walked in front of Shen Tingxi. She lowered her head and did not dare to look into his deep eyes. She asked softly, "Do you want me to give you a head massage?"
Shuxin had just told her that Shen Tingxi had a headache after drinking too much.
Shen Tingxi stared at the girl in front of him for a moment. He bent down and stubbed out the unfinished cigarette in his hand in the ashtray. "It's late. Get some rest."
Mu Ning Jing's heart clenched slightly. He refused to get close to her. This was something that had never happened before. She had probably really hurt his heart, so he did not even want to interact with her.
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips. She clenched her fists and loosened them. "Okay."
"You sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the sofa." After saying that, Shen Tingxi leaned his tall body against the sofa. However, his gaze remained fixed on Mu Ning Jing.
Mu Ning Jing could feel Shen Tingxi's gaze. She did not dare to raise her head. His simple words were obviously drawing a line between them. She was afraid to see his cold and disdainful eyes.
Did he really want to give up on her and leave her like Shuxin said?
She was the one who wasn't good enough for him. She was the one who asked for too much. Every day, she was prepared for him to leave her at any time. Why was it that when it really came to this moment, she still couldn't bear it? Her heart felt like it was being crushed by something, and it hurt so much that it was difficult to breathe.
Mu Ning Jing took a deep breath and suppressed the bitterness in her heart. "… Okay." She quickly turned around and walked towards the bed.
"Ningning …"
He called to her.
Mu Ning Jing stopped in her tracks. She didn't turn around or make a sound. She was afraid that if she made a sound, he would notice the emotions that she was trying so hard to control.
"You don't have anything to say to me?"
Yes, I have a lot to say to you, but … are you still willing to listen?
Mu Ning Jing was silent for a moment, then she shook her head. As she walked towards the bed, she heard a soft sigh behind her.
Mu Ning Jing lay down on the bed with her back facing the sofa. After a while, she heard some movement behind her. Footsteps were heading towards the door, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing. She opened her eyes and turned around. He was no longer on the sofa.
Tears instantly blurred her vision.
He wasn't even willing to stay in the same room as her now?
Mu Ning Jing felt as if her heart had been hollowed out. It was a heart-wrenching pain. She bit the back of her hand to prevent the turbulent emotions in her body from leaking out. Because she was trying her best to suppress them, her shoulders were trembling violently.
Her tears fell like strings and instantly soaked the pillow.
She had long known that he didn't belong to her, but her heart had unknowingly fallen for him …
She heard some movement at the door. Mu Ning Jing quickly closed her eyes.
Shen Tingxi stood at the end of the bed. There were still water droplets on his face. His hair was also wet when he washed his face. His well-defined facial features looked fresh and sexy after washing. His deep gaze landed on the girl who was sleeping quietly on the bed. After looking at her for a few seconds, he sensed that something was wrong and walked towards the head of the bed.
