It seemed like a layer of frost covered his well-defined face, his expression was harsh and cold.
Nan Zhi was frightened by his sudden frostiness.
She did not know how she had offended him.
His eyes were bloodshot, and under the lights, he appeared sullen and aloof.
Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Mu Sihan closed his eyes and opened them again. Seeing the panic and worry in Nan Zhi’s eyes, he pursed his lips tightly and said shortly, “Just a dream.”
Before meeting her, he had already stopped having that nightmare. But after she had appeared, he had had that dream twice.
The first time was when he learned that someone had given her a ring.
This time was hearing her mention her uncle.
“Are you okay?” Nan Zhi reached out her hand towards him, but before she could touch him, he avoided her and said coldly, “Don’t touch me.”
Nan Zhi’s breathing hitched and she felt a tightening in her chest.
Jumping off the bed, Mu Sihan took out a bottle of medicine from his suitcase and his emotions calmed down after swallowing down several pills.
Nan Zhi sat by the bedside and looked at him. She wanted to ask what he had dreamed of, to make him look at her with such an icy gaze.
But, seeing his dark gaze, she swallowed back the words.
She could only conclude that he must be a man with a story.
If he was not willing to tell her, she would not ask.
She could understand more than anyone, that everyone had a past that they did not want to talk about.
After calming down, Mu Sihan came forward and stroked Nan Zhi’s long hair. “I’ll be going on a business trip, so I can’t go to the filming. I’ll call you when I get back.”
Picking up his suitcase, he left as soon as he finished speaking.
He did not tease or kiss her in his domineering manner like he always did.
It was strangely discomforting.
…
After Mu Sihan left, Nan Zhi was feeling somewhat confused.
However, despite feeling discomfort both physically and mentally, she was extremely professional and did not let it detract from her work. When she was working, she was since4 and sweet, confident and fluent in front of the cameras.
After the filming, the team left the mountain.
By the time they finally returned to the city, it was already close to evening. Nan Zhi had just gotten out of the taxi and was about to enter the gate when a tall figure walked over suddenly.
Nan Zhi looked up and met with a pair of deep and complicated-looking brown eyes.
Bo Shaoxiu.
She did not expect to meet him here.
He had spent nearly half a month in the hospital after getting beaten up by Mu Sihan.
It had already been some time since she had last seen him. He was much thinner and a lot more haggard compared to before.
Bo Shaoxiu had come specifically to look for Nan Zhi. He and Nan Yao had already set a wedding date. It was an auspicious date, scheduled for the sixth day of coming month.
The closer it got to the wedding, the more anxious and empty he felt.
It had felt like something was missing.
Until last night, he quarrelled with Nan Yao and she asked him if he still loved Nan Zhi.
At that time, he felt a strong emotion surging up from his heart and he almost replied to Nan Yao saying that he still wasn’t able to let go of Nan Zhi.
Although Nan Zhi was no longer pure, he had chased after her for two years and did not even get to kiss her. He could not accept it.
During his hospitalization period, images of Nan Zhi appeared in his mind from time to time. She had given birth to a child, but her figure was still like that of a young woman, losing the childishness of youth and growing more and more beautiful. When she stood on the stage, she was beautiful, confident and full of vigor.
She was captivating.
Unlike Nan Yao, who had recently taken to complaining and nagging at him, her eyes filled with tears and lips twisted into a constant pout. Her temper had only gotten worse after she carried his child. It was nauseating and he was tired of being around her when she was like that.
Nan Zhi did not want to talk to Bo Shaoxiu at all. She gave him a side glance and made to avoid him. But after a few steps, her wrist was grabbed by Bo Shaoxiu and held in a firm grasp.
