Chapter 196 - Xi Mubais Life Savior Luo Luo
Chapter 196: Xi Mubai’s Life Savior “Luo Luo”
If the dream is true, could it be that Mu Nianqing is the life savior I had been searching hard for?
“In this case, why don’t we go upstairs and talk?” Mu Nianqing said mellowly, gesturing for him to follow her upstairs.
Seeing the people around him, he thought that it was indeed not an appropriate place to talk. Xi Mubai did not turn her down and hence, followed her upstairs and entered the room while everyone gawked curiously.
Chu Ci’s modeling agency was very generous to its artists, and would arrange for them to have proper lodging and meals. Mu Nianqing stayed in that room that was decorated warmly and seemed rather comfortable.
Xi Mubai looked around and took the teacup from Mu Nianqing. “He smiled warmly and asked, “Miss Mu, you let me in without hesitation. Aren’t you worried that I might be a crook?”
“Mr. Xi, you’re the Young Master of the Xi Family and I’m just an insignificant model. I don’t think you’d be of any harm to me.” Mu Nianqing smiled quietly and expressed her knowledge of his identity.
Xi Mubai was slightly stunned to hear that she knew who he was.
“Actually, if I didn’t study abroad, I would have been admitted to Capital University too. Young Master Xi, you’d be my senior! Capital University is very famous, and you’re popular in school too, so I’d of course, know who you are. It’s not surprising that I recognized you.”
Her explanation was apt and he did not feel disgusted at all. Instead, he got a good impression of her. Of course, that was not the point. Xi Mubai did not delve into it, and simply pretended to be casual. He then unlocked his mobile phone and played a song.
“The dark sky droops
accompanied by the bright stars
the fireflies fly
the fireflies fly
Who are you thinking about?
The stars in the sky are tearing up
The withered roses on the ground
The cold wind blows
The cold wind blows
As long as you’re here with me
the fireflies fly
the flowers sleep
A beautiful pair
Unafraid of the dark
only afraid of heartbreak
Regardless of the hassle
or the direction.”
...
Feeling peculiar about the nursery rhyme she had just heard, Mu Nianqing asked in bewilderment, “Young Master Xi, what does this mean?”
“Have you ever heard this song?” Xi Mubai’s gaze was deep and he asked a little eagerly.
Mu Nianqing gave it some thought and reckoned that he must have had a reason for asking so. She nodded gently and answered, “Of course I have. This is a nursery rhyme called “Fireflies fly”, right?”
Almost at the same time, Xi Mubai asked, “Then, have you ever sung it before?”
At this moment, Mu Nianqing vaguely determined that Xi Mubai was looking for someone. On top of that, he had no idea who the person was.
She did not expect him to adopt such a strange approach to looking for someone, by using a nursery rhyme as evidence... She could tell that the person meant a lot to him!
If she could impersonate that person and assume her identity, wouldn’t it be perfect?
After giving it some thought, Mu Nianqing admitted, “Yes, I’ve sung it before but I can’t remember when I did so. Young Master Xi, why are you asking me about that?”
“Did you go to ‘Pine Mountain’ on a rainy night two years ago? Back then, there was a mudslide because of the rainstorm. Were you there?” Xi Mubai was so agitated that he almost held his breath, for fear that he would miss her answer.
Mu Nianqing was stunned for a moment, and she said hesitantly, “I... ”
If he were asking another question, she would definitely be able to answer him. However, she found it hard to assume the identity of the person that he was trying to find!
Xi Mubai was no fool and he could tell that Mu Nianqing did not know what he was talking about. Hence, he suddenly felt a little disappointed and doubtful at the same time... she was clearly the one who saved him in his dream.
In his dream, not only did she know about that incident, she could even clearly state all the details, including how she managed to rescue him... Yet, reality was the complete opposite!
Could it be... that she’s not my savior?
“Luo Luo... ”
All of a sudden, Xi Mubai got reminded of something and solemnly called out that name.
That was the only clue that was left behind by the girl who saved him. She told him herself, that her name was “Luo Luo” ... On that rainy night, he did not get a clear glimpse of her looks and her name was the only thing he could remember!
“What?” Mu Nianqing asked instinctively.
However, that made Xi Mubai certain that she was not Luo Luo nor the person who saved him!
“Young Master Xi, sorry, I don’t remember much about what happened two years ago. Could you tell me more... “
