CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 170: I WANT TO REBUILD A FAMILY WITH YOU

However, as her gaze fell upon Xu Yisen entering the attic, the smile on her face froze instantly.

Ever since that day in Xu Yisen’s room, when the two of them almost did something out of line, Qin Muni had been avoiding Xu Yisen.

Seeing Xu Yisen appearing in the attic now, she instinctively wanted to get up and leave.

But before she could move, she heard Xu Yisen’s hoarse command: "Don’t move."

Within those simple three words lay an undeniable momentum, and Qin Muni truly sat in place without moving.

Xu Yisen walked over to her side satisfied, then suddenly lied down, resting his head on her lap.

"Get up, I want to go back to my room."

Sensing her resistance, Xu Yisen softly spoke: "Don’t make trouble."

Lowering her gaze, Qin Muni saw Xu Yisen had already closed his eyes, with a delicate fatigue between his brows, and for a moment, she truly didn’t make trouble, forgetting to resist.

As she picked up the book to read again, Xu Yisen’s deep voice came to her ear: "I heard that Yu Ge visited this morning?"

"What, are you afraid your lover suffered grievances here with me, so you’re here to denounce me?"

Within the casual voice lay thick sarcasm.

Xu Yisen slightly curved his lips, slowly opened his eyes, with a mischievous smile flowing in his dark pupils.

He did not answer Qin Muni’s words, but upon seeing the book in her hands, he suggested: "Read the book for me."

Qin Muni, staring at the book in her hand, refused his request without hesitation: "No."

Xu Yisen closed his eyes again, the smile on his lips still gentle and soft, he whispered: "Didn’t you want to go back? I’ll take you back on the third day."

He was negotiating with her, Qin Muni quickly thought, and replied: "The second day."

The third day was seven days away from now, going back one day earlier would be better.

"On the second day, mom won’t allow me to take you back."

After weighing it for a moment, Qin Muni felt that returning on the third day was still better than staying for a month.

Therefore, she parted her lips and began to read aloud in her warm voice:

"...I might be defeated in the north, perhaps lose myself, perhaps reach nowhere, perhaps I’ve lost everything, no matter how I struggle I can only sigh in vain, maybe I’m just futilely holding a handful of ashes from ruins, only I remain ignorant of it, maybe there’s no one here to block the downloads on me. It doesn’t matter. One thing is clear: at least I have something worth waiting for, worth seeking."

With eyes closed, Xu Yisen slowly opened his eyes, reaching out to snatch the book from Qin Muni’s hand.

Unprepared, Qin Muni collided into his eyes that were brighter and more dazzling than the stars at night.

His gaze upon her flowed with profound and ceremonious emotions, so naked and unhidden, deeply affectionate, he stared at her.

Someone said faith is the driving force that keeps a person moving forward.

He didn’t know what exactly that concept was; he only knew that the woman before him... was the partner he wanted to wait for and pursue.

She was like a bright light, permeating his dark world, illuminating every corner, making him no longer fearful or lonely.

"Munni."

His call was infused with deep feelings, looking at Qin Muni with her eyes full of deep emotion almost overflowing.

"Maybe you’ll think my idea is crazy, but... I want to rebuild a family with you. Whenever you come back, I’ll be waiting for you."
