Incurable Chapter 23 Part 2

In the City’s West, there are many old buildings in Xiacheng. All of these are big houses with green tiles and white walls. Xiacheng has developed rapidly, but the focus of development has never been in the West. This area has never been destroyed, and many original residents of Xiacheng live there.

The Mu family’s house had a large courtyard, with the main entrance to the main hall and a small garden at the back. Two smaller courtyards were on both sides of the small backyard.

When Mother Wu returned, she met Mu Qing, who wanted to go out. She was wearing a navy blue cheongsam and brought an oil paper umbrella. Shen Cheng, who was next to her, was wearing a long Tsing Yi gown. They were going to participate in a party with the theme of the Republic of China.

Seeing them, Mother Wu lowered her head and called out, “Young Miss. Mr. Shen.”

She was short, so Shen Cheng didn’t see her at first. After hearing her greeting, he nodded politely. But Mu Qing, looking at what she held in her hand, laughed and asked, “Go find Mu Wan, isn’t it?”

After returning from studying abroad, Mu Qing was much more kind. When Mother Wu heard her question, she didn’t dare to say it initially. After all, the Mu family had always kept secrets about Mu Wan. Every time she went to find Mu Wan, she only went when she was idle. Although the Mu family has always known about this, they probably think she can’t make a living with a servant. She has been accustomed to doing things in the Mu family for many years. Thus, they didn’t dismiss her because of this incident.

Mother Wu’s lips moved, but she dared not say anything, so Mu Qing asked, “Did you say what I asked you to tell her?”

“I said it.” Mother Wu didn’t hesitate any more and replied.

“What did she say?” Mu Qing’s eyes were shining. She was tall and long-legged. Although dressed modestly, she looked slightly like she was being forced to ask.

Mother Wu said: “She said she is performing now.”

“Really?” Mu Qing seemed to have a sneer in her throat.

Mother Wu looked up at her, but the latter had already left.

Mu Wan did have a performance, such as today. She got up at five in the morning to shoot the film. Then, Mu Wan had lunch in the studio at noon with the crew. She didn’t finish filming until seven in the evening.

Today, the photography base is covered with a big urn, which is hot and humid. After the shooting, Mu Wan changed her costume and walked out. After going out, she discovered that the entire Xiacheng was covered with a big urn.

The clouds that were overcast yesterday still don’t come down today, and they are gathering more and more. They are all black and pressed against the sky one by one. The thick clouds rolled over and over, unable to penetrate the wind.

On such a day, just standing outside makes the mood irritable. The passing pedestrians have no good expressions and rush to their destination quickly.

Mu Wan was also damp and hot. She raised her hand to get a taxi and called Liu Qianxiu. At 5:30 in the evening, Mu Wan sent a text message to Liu Qianxiu saying that she would be late today, and Liu Qianxiu said that he happened to be working overtime today.

The call soon connected, Liu Qianxiu’s voice was like a bamboo wind, and the cold smell of bamboo split the heat away from her body, so Mu Wan’s eyes bent naturally.

“Are you still in the hospital?”

“No, on the way home.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

“Then I will take a taxi directly to your house.” Mu Wan didn’t bother to stop talking, raised her eyes and saw a taxi, quickly raised her hand, and ran to the vehicle, “I got the taxi. Let’s talk about it later. ~”

Mu Wan hung up the phone and ran to the taxi. She felt like she was swimming in hot water just now. When the car door opened, the cool air penetrated the pores, so Mu Wan’s skin tightened, and she shivered.

“Master, go to Nanfeng Apartment.”

Pressing the meter, the driver looked at the dark clouds and said: “There will be a typhoon tonight, and it will be pouring rain heavily.”

Leaning against the window, Mu Wan’s body gradually cooled down, and she looked up at the sky. When she looked at it now, there were quite a few dark clouds over the city, and the wave clouds looked weird.

“Then I have to trouble you to hurry up. Otherwise, when it rains on the road, I will get soaked. I don’t have an umbrella.”

The Nanfeng Apartment does not allow foreign vehicles to enter the community. The community’s entrance is still some distance from Liu Qianxiu’s house. She’ll have to run over and be drenched if it really rains.

“Alright.” The driver stepped on the accelerator and went away.

After seven o’clock, the rush hour of traffic jams in Xiacheng had passed, so it was considerably smooth. But when the car drove, the wind blew fast, and it started to rain when it was almost at the Nanfeng apartment. The raindrops that preceded the torrential rain were all so big, one by one, they smashed on the soil like coins, and when they arrived at the Nanfeng Apartment, the ground was already half-wet.

Listening to the raindrops hitting the car’s roof, the driver glanced at Mu Wan behind him and said: “You can ask your family to come and pick you up. The raindrops are not small, and it hurts a lot when they hit.”

Mu Wan is beautiful and slim, so the driver can’t help feeling sorry for her.

She’s not going home and can’t trouble anyone to pick her up. Mu Wan didn’t explain this to the driver. After handing him the money for the car, she smiled and said, “I was beaten a lot when I was a child, so I was not afraid of pain.”

After speaking, Mu Wan thanked the driver and closed the door.

The raindrops hit her shoulder as soon as she exited the car. Her face, head, and her strength were indeed extraordinary. Mu Wan raised her hand to cover her from the rain and was about to run into the apartment building where Liu Qianxiu’s house was.

She was thinking about the route. When ready to rush in, she raised her eyes and saw a figure. Her heart beat faster.

Liu Qianxiu holds a black umbrella and stands tall and long at the community’s gate. His skin is cold and white, especially under the black umbrella. On his white face, his brows were light, and his eyes were dark and translucent, like a pool of clear water with no bottom.

He stood there, pure, indifferent, and unearthly.

The author has something to say:
Mu Wan: Lin Wei asked me how old you are.
Liu Qianxiu: you have to see for yourself how old it is.
