The wind was not strong tonight, and there was no full moon hanging in the sky. On the other side of the sea, there was an endless darkness, a darkness so similar to her own future that she could not see it.

Mu Zixi tightly wrapped his coat around himself and saw that the cold drinks store where he used to work was still open. There were still many people chatting outside, almost all of them lovers, and many tents had already been set up on the nearby beach.

Mu Zixi walked into the cold drinks store. When the cold drinks store's owner saw Mu Zixi, he was pleasantly surprised. Because Mu Zixi and Cheng Haotian had been here before, his business had been thriving. This was all thanks to Mu Zixi.

"Aiya, Mu Zixi …" Why are you so late? Do we still need a tent? "Yes, yes. I put away the one you had last time." The cold drinks store owner was very cordial as he busied himself with making a cup of mango juice for Mu Zixi.

Mu Zixi shook her head. She really wanted to squeeze out a smile and tell the cold drinks store owner that she had only come to take a look, but she didn't manage to squeeze out a smile, "Boss Ding, thank you very much for last time. This time, it won't be troublesome, I'm a little tired from studying so I came over to thank you for your mango juice.

The cold drinks store's owner waved his hands in panic. "No, no, how could I accept your money? You've seen my business. Very good. This cup is on me." The cold drinks store owner rubbed his hands as he looked into the distance. Mu Zixi knew what he was looking at. He was looking for Cheng Haotian.

"That... Chairman Cheng is not with you? " The owner of the cold drinks store asked carefully.

"No, I'm doing it myself. Thank you, Boss Ding. I'm going to the seaside for a while." Mu Zixi said thanks with a cup in his hand before turning around and leaving the store.

It wasn't that she was cold. She didn't know what to say about that man. Could it be that she and his story? No, not to mention, she didn't want to think about that person.

The cold drinks store owner thought that she was angry at Cheng Haotian, so he tried to persuade her, "Ai, it's normal for the two of you to quarrel. You can't run away from home for too long, Chairman Cheng will worry …"

Mu Zixi only heard her up to this point, but didn't hear anything else. She sat on the beach with the mango juice in her hand.

In the distance, it was still dark. Not even the shadow of the boat could be seen.

Turning his head, he saw couples and tents in the distance. Although there was no moon, the stars in the sky were numerous and very bright.

Mu Zixi steadied the mango juice in his hand and laid down with his hat on his sportswear. It was only now that he discovered that lying on his back and looking at the stars was really comfortable.

He had never felt so relaxed before. He carefully counted the times he had felt this way. Time was his, space was his.

"That should be the Cancer, that should be the Immortal Chariot, and that should be the Gigantic Dragon … Wow, the Milky Way is really clear today. " Mu Zixi used his finger to point at the Milky Way in the sky and drew each constellation on his own.

"Don't you feel scared when you're alone?" A boy descended from the sky, a handsome face blocking Mu Zixi's line of sight.

Mu Zixi was lying on the beach and didn't expect that someone would suddenly obstruct his line of sight.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually Lin Naoi!

Mu Zixi hastily tried to sit up, but his head knocked against Lin Naofan's lowered forehead. "Aiyo!" Mu Zixi covered her forehead. Lin Naofan rubbed his own forehead, which was hurting from being touched by Mu Zixi, "You, ah. Why are you still so reckless sometimes?" Although she said she was blaming him, her tone was filled with love.

Mu Zixi ignored the pain in his forehead and sat up, pulling Lin Naoi's arm. He looked around at his face, and then at his arm. This confused Lin Naofan.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Naoi curiously asked.

Only then did Mu Zixi feel relieved. It was fine, Lin Naofan didn't lack an arm or a leg, everything was fine.

"Brother Lin!" What have you been doing these days? I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried. Mu Zixi hugged Lin Naofan.

"Me? There are some things I have to do... So, I haven't been able to contact you. Lin Naofan stroked the hair of Mu Zixi, who was hugging him.

"Not good, not good at all, not good at all …" Brother Lin … My Dad... "He died …" Mu Zixi's voice slowly died down.

Lin Naoi's hand paused for a moment before she continued touching it. "Perhaps, this is a relief to uncle since it has been painful for so long, isn't it?"

"But …" "I didn't even look at him for the last time …" Mu Zixi finally cried out. As if Lin Naoi was a family member he hadn't seen for a long time, Mu Zixi finally cried out the pain in his heart that he had been suppressing for a long time.

"What's going on?" Lin Naoi didn't understand as she consoled the wailing Mu Zixi while asking.

"Cheng Haotian locked me up. He refused to answer my call … Afterwards, Father, Father … "Then it's gone …" Mu Zixi, on such a deep night, acted like he had met his own kin. He told them all about his dissatisfaction and grievances.

"This damned Cheng Haotian!" Lin Naofan couldn't help but gnash his teeth as he thought of Cheng Haotian's unreasonable behavior. How could a person be so ruthless?

"Alright, Zixi, I'm here, don't cry anymore. In the future, big brother Lin will never leave you. No matter who it is, you can't let me leave you." Mu Zixi's tears made Lin Xiaofan's heart ache uncontrollably.

After crying for who knows how long, Mu Zixi finally stopped.

Sitting beside Lin Naofan on the beach and looking at the stars in the sky, Mu Zixi's mood improved a lot for some reason. Lin Naofan draped his jacket over Mu Zixi's shoulders. He looked at Mu Zixi and smiled. "Foolish lady, it's so late. In the future, don't wander around by yourself."

Mu Zixi wrinkled his nose and asked, "How did you find me?"

"It feels like it …" "Haha, I was just lying to you, I just finished my work and wanted to walk around here. I wanted to quietly sort out my thoughts, but I didn't expect to see someone who looks a bit like you from a distance, so I didn't dare to recognize you at first. Seeing you talking to the cold drinks store owner, I went over to ask if it was you, but he nodded, so I came over to find you." Lin Naofan hadn't expected to see Mu Zixi so late in the night.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing now?" Why is it so mysterious? How is your car different? "Moreover, you can be so busy right now …" Mu Zixi had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask Lin Xiaofan.

Lin Naofan scratched Mu Zixi's nose and said, "Why are there so many questions? "Well, I'll tell you slowly!"

"You should have heard of the Lin Clan's Lin Tianxiong, right?"

"I know. His corporation is very big and occupies a lot of industries. It is very popular and should be able to compete with the Heaven Shrouding Corporation in A city. It should be this Lin Clan, right?"

"Lin Tianxiong is my father …" After a moment of silence, Lin Xiaofan finally said these words.

Mu Zixi's eyes were wide open as he looked at Lin Naofan in disbelief. "Really? Brother Lin … How come I've never heard you say it before? "

Lin Naoi smiled wryly in the darkness. "What's there to say about that? If I were to tell you that my background is also terrible, I would be afraid that you would look down on me even more."

Mu Zixi shook his head in panic, "Of course not, Big Brother Lin. From the beginning you didn't despise me for being a silly little girl and had always been helping me and accompanying me. How could I look down on you? Weren't I also a poor girl who had to scheme for her eating? "

Lin Naofan felt a warm feeling in his heart. That's right, Mu Zixi had never asked about Lin Naofan. She had always been such a warm and beautiful woman.

"I was after Lin Tianxiong raped my mother... The child that was born... "It's a shame..." Lin Naofan casually stated this fact with a mocking smile on his face.

Mu Zixi was stunned by this piece of news. How could it be like this?

"Cruel? Do you know why I never looked at my father? Because he made me feel that I had to face such an identity all the time, I refused. I would rather be out there on my own, even if it's just a small doctor, that's at least, that's my own life. "

"Then why? Why do you still... Go back to him? " Mu Zixi couldn't believe his ears. She could clearly see the sadness in Lin Naoi's eyes. It was as if she had never wanted to remove this identity from her life.

After being asked by Mu Zixi, a flash of gentle yet sorrowful light appeared in Lin Naoi's eyes. As she looked at Mu Zixi, her heart felt filled with courage, and she felt a sense of relief. "For you, foolish girl, I wanted to make this foolish girl not be bullied by Cheng Haotian ever again, but unfortunately, I was still a step too late. If I had only been willing to face my miserable status earlier, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be so sad now." Lin Naoi smiled gently, but it was mixed with a hint of bitterness.

Mu Zixi gently embraced Lin Naofan's arm, somewhat consolingly, with a sense of being dependent on each other for life.

"Big brother Lin, it's not too late at all. Really, I'm free now. I'm really free, I'm free …" Mu Zixi kept repeating the word "freedom".

Without another word, the two of them stared at the sea in the distance.

It wasn't until the lights in the cold drinks store were turned off that Mu Zixi finally understood. "Big Brother Lin, it's a little cold. If you give me your jacket, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold. Let's go back."

Lin Xiaofan then stood up and pulled Mu Zixi's hand in the darkness.

Lin Naofan's large palm was very warm, causing Mu Zixi's ice-cold hand to feel warm.

He walked all the way to the parking lot. Lin Naofan brought Mu Zixi to a black Porsche, opened the door, and let Mu Zixi in.

Because of what had happened previously, a shadow had appeared in Mu Zixi's heart. She anxiously looked around, but didn't see any trace of Cheng Haotian. Thus, she sat down in terror.

Lin Naoi got into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and started the engine. "Where do you live?" she asked. I'll send you back. "
