....
After sending Gong Youbo back, Mu An sensed something was off before he even returned home.
Mu Yu'er's frenzied emotional rewards made it clear that she was not okay!
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be that she just happened to see Gong Youbo calling him 'Daddy'!
The rain continued to fall.
Mu An pinched his brow and walked into the house.
"Young Master, the second young lady..."
Ning Er approached, hesitating to speak.
"What's wrong with her?"
"The second young lady just came back alone, completely soaked, and her dress is covered in mud!"
"Right now, she is sitting in the backyard, foolishly getting drenched in the rain, and no matter how others persuade her, she doesn't respond..."
Now, Mu An's brows furrowed even deeper.
He hoped she wouldn't ruin his potential 'gold mine'!
The man walked straight to the backyard and soon spotted the girl sitting on the swing in the rain.
Without much hesitation, he adjusted his 'emotions' slightly and walked over.
Although this thought might be somewhat unethical, it was indeed a good opportunity to gain emotional rewards!
"You..."
Just as Mu An was about to speak, he met the girl's gaze as she looked up at him.
His heart was deeply shaken.
What kind of eyes were those?
Dull and lifeless.
It was as if she were a dead star, completely extinguished of all light, losing all hope.
And forever wandering alone in the cold, dark universe!
Before he could say much more, the girl began to tell her story.
Tears mixed with rainwater streamed down her delicate face, making it hard to tell which was which!
"After my biological parents left, the two sisters could only be abandoned in an orphanage, like two lost dogs, suffering from bullying."
"Fortunately, they were later taken in by adoptive parents who provided a warm home and treated them as their own, allowing them to live a happy life they never dared to dream of."
"Especially that boy who loved to make them laugh, like a beam of light shining into their hearts, igniting their hope to live again!"
"In that moment, he was the whole world to the two girls!"
"There were so many stories between them!"
"They had promised to always be together, to live together, to grow up together, to fall in love, to get married, and to grow old together..."
As she spoke, the girl's emotions gradually became more intense.
"But why? Why did that boy gradually distance himself from them and turn to pursue other girls?"
"Even now, he has a... daughter with another woman!!!"
"Clearly... clearly I was the one who came first! He even said that I would be the first person he marries!"
"But why is he treating me like this now? Clearly, I am the one who loves him the most!"
Though she never mentioned Mu An's name, everything she said was about him!
Was it awkward? Maybe!
But those who empathized would certainly not feel any embarrassment!
Mu An fell silent.
He was not a true witness to the past.
But at that moment, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache for the girl crying her heart out in front of him.
[Please note, the understanding system has automatically used [Forgotten Childhood Memories] for you!]
In an instant, Mu An's expression became dazed.
He seemed to return to a childhood long forgotten or abandoned by his 'previous self.'
Playing house with the two girls, every little moment they shared together.
The girl's shy confession... the purest joy...
And the solemn vow they made on that swing to always be together...
Everything was vividly clear!
"Why! Why is this happening?! Speak! You need to talk to me!!"
The girl cried, her face tear-streaked, her delicate hands gripping Mu An's shirt tightly as she looked up at him.
Her eyes were red and swollen, tears flowing like flowers.
Yet she seemed to be trying hard not to let her tears fall so cheaply.
And this might be her last bit of stubbornness!
"I...."
Recalling what 'he' had done, Mu An fell into a deep silence, feeling as if there was a thorn in his throat.
Forget about the girl; even he wanted to slap his past self a few times!
But now, it seemed too late to say any apologies.
So, he chose to apologize with actions!
He suddenly embraced her tightly.
Although the girl's delicate body felt as if it had no bones, at this moment, he was completely focused, with no intention of taking advantage of her.
"I'm sorry!"
The man said softly.
Mu Yuer's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.
But she quickly couldn't hold back her tears.
Who knew how long she had been waiting for this long-anticipated embrace!
Under the heavy rain, the two lost themselves in each other's arms.
[Mu Yuer feels a mix of love and hate for you, emotional fluctuation +22, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +5000]!]
[From the girl's shy emotional fluctuation +23, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation years +5 years]!]
[Although she usually acts proud and calls you a bastard, the girl truly loves you deeply, her feelings of affection and excitement are stronger than anyone else's, emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Ten Selected Golden Songs from the Blue Star Music Library]!]
...
It's easy to catch a cold after getting drenched in the rain.
Mu An had secretly used his god-level medical skills to treat the girl.
He took one last look at the girl, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and then quietly closed the door.
Mu An didn't expect that Mu Yuer was so stubborn.
Earlier, she had already caught a cold from the rain on her way home, yet she still insisted on waiting in her own yard in the pouring rain for him.
If he had come back a little later without knowing, she would have probably gotten even sicker!
Of course, Mu An also gained something from this.
The girl's emotional outburst had filled his rewards to the brim!
"Young master, the second young lady is fine, right?"
Ning Er blinked her eyes and said softly.
"With me here, what could happen to her?"
Mu An chuckled, patting his little maid's head.
He was very confident in his god-level medical skills.
The girl who had been treated was already out of danger.
As long as she rested for one night, she would probably wake up the next morning full of energy, pointing at him and calling him a 'bastard' and 'trash' again!
"Young master, you're amazing!"
The little maid clapped her hands and praised him without reservation.
"Flattering me won't help; your 'punishment task' every night can't be canceled!"
Mu An thought she was trying to 'plot something' and jokingly warned her.
This punishment task required her to recite his name ten thousand times before going to bed each night.
This was an important source of emotional rewards for him, and he couldn't let it go easily!
However, Ning Er shook her head, her beautiful eyes curving into a lovely arc, like a bright moon in the sky.
"Please rest assured, young master!"
"Even if it could really be canceled, Ning Er wouldn't choose to cancel it!"
'After all.'
'For Ning Er, this is not a punishment, but a reward!'
Of course, the thoughts behind this, the girl did not say out loud.
This was a 'little secret' that belonged only to her!
[From Ning Er's liking emotional fluctuation +13, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation years +5 years]!]
[From Ning Er's little joy emotional fluctuation +14, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +20]!]
