Gu Yan was startled and looked back at him.
Mu Feng was still staring at the wind chi on the ceiling, his cheeks so thin they had sunken in.
In fact, it had only been a few days.
The man had beco emaciated.
But his willingness to speak was a good sign.
Gu Yan turned back, walked to the bedside, and took a wooden carved chair to sit down.
"And then, because of the dream, you started pursuing ?"
"I don’t know, but when it cos to feelings, they’re really hard to explain."
Gu Yan thought for a mont, then took the initiative to say, "You rember, I have a spatial superpower, right? Before, I went to Ancient Earth, and, it seems, I t soone who looked a lot like you."
Mu Feng’s expression finally changed.
He struggled to sit up, but because he hadn’t moved for so long, he was extrely weak.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground, Gu Yan quickly reached out to support him. She sighed and said, "You don’t have to get so excited, because it was my boyfriend who accompanied to celebrate my birthday back then, and we went to Ancient Earth together. I’m not sure why you dreamt about it, but by that ti, I was already taken."
Supported by Gu Yan, he leaned back on the soft pillow.
This was the closest Mu Feng had ever been to Gu Yan, but he also knew that no matter how close, it was useless.
"Have you known your boyfriend for a long ti?"
"Yes, for a very long ti. We are childhood sweethearts."
"But didn’t he co to Landis Star only last year as an exchange student?"
Gu Yan smiled, "Before that, we had already t. Although most of the ti we contacted each other through the neural computer, it really sounds like we were just online friends before."
"However, even though we are often apart, our place in each other’s hearts is unshakeable."
Mu Feng felt very bitter, but seeing the happy smile on Gu Yan’s lips, he knew she wasn’t lying.
She cared deeply about her boyfriend.
He envied her boyfriend.
Mu Feng looked down with a wry smile and said, "Actually, I also know that you could never like . When I wasn’t injured before, you didn’t have feelings for , and now that I’ve beco crippled, you’re even less likely to care for ."
"Mu Feng, liking soone has nothing to do with what that person does or how capable they are. Do you know why I ca to see you? It’s because Luo Xixi pleaded with ."
Gu Yan said softly, "I don’t want you to accept her again, I just want you to understand and clearly see everyone’s feelings."
"Including your own feelings."
"Your spiritual power is damaged, and you can’t pilot a cha anymore. It’s regrettable, but that doesn’t overshadow or hide your excellence."
"You still learn everything faster than others, and you understand chas better than anyone else. In the future, maybe you can’t go to the battlefield, but you can still work on cha developnt. Or, you could work in other scientific research fields, and if you work hard, the achievents you make might not be less than those of a Star Warrior on the battlefield."
Mu Feng shook his head, "Gu Yan, you don’t have to persuade ."
"I know many people have said the sa things to you. Hey, let tell you sothing else. I’ve always been very insecure."
For the first ti, Mu Feng’s face showed a different expression.
He said in surprise, "You’re insecure too?"
Gu Yan nodded, "Yes, I’ve been insecure since I was a child. Both of my brothers are much more outstanding than , let alone, my parents are such formidable people, yet I seem to have inherited nothing from them."
"Moreover, they are all powerful Beastn, while I am a very weak Plantman."
"Although I could use Spatial Superpowers when I was little, they were unreliable and often caused to make a fool of myself. I was really timid as a child, and I’d grow mushrooms whenever I got nervous."
Mu Feng: "..."
He was a bit at a loss at first, unable to digest the fact that the perfect girl he admired felt so insecure about herself.
But having heard her, he found her even more adorable.
And he could also understand that from her childhood to adulthood, every good and bad thing involved that person nad Bai Li.
Gu Yan had been talking for quite a while and had successfully seen many expressions on Mu Feng’s face.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, you see, everyone is different. What you see might not be the real thing. Mu Feng, do you understand what I an?"
Mu Feng nodded, "I understand, but I’m even more jealous of that Bai Li now."
Gu Yan: "..."
Had Mu Feng only rembered that after all she had said?
Looking at her slightly defeated face, Mu Feng suddenly smiled faintly and said, "But I also know that he’s better suited for you than I am. Thank you, Gu Yan. After you spoke to today, I truly felt relieved."
Gu Yan’s heart relaxed upon hearing this.
Mu Feng said earnestly, "Gu Yan, can I be your brother?"
Although Gu Yan already had quite a few brothers, Mu Feng saying this signified that he had let go, was at peace, and perhaps had really co to terms with things, deciding to pick himself up.
Gu Yan nodded, "Of course you can. And according to our grandfather’s side, you were already my cousin, right?"
"Mhm."
As they talked, Mu Feng’s stomach suddenly made a few noises, and he felt a bit embarrassed.
Gu Yan said with a smile, "I’ve disturbed you for quite a while, cousin. You take a good rest. I’ll go out and call Auntie and the others to bring you sothing to eat. Rember to eat."
"Mhm."
Gu Yan had been inside for about fifteen minutes. When she ca out, several pairs of eyes were eagerly watching her.
Gu Yan said, "Cousin is feeling a bit better. Auntie, he is hungry. Could you prepare sothing for him to eat?"
"Oh, okay, okay." Although Mrs. Mu didn’t understand why Gu Yan suddenly started calling Mu Feng ’cousin’, she was more than happy to hear that her son was willing to eat.
Luo Xixi was also happy to hear that Mu Feng wanted to eat.
"Having you visit him really did the trick! But why did you start calling Mu Feng ’cousin’?"
Gu Yan smiled, "Well, according to our grandfather, he is my cousin, and from now on, my brother too."
Luo Xixi stood there stunned, her expression complicated, and it took her a long ti to speak. In the end, when Gu Yan left, she only said two words, "Thank you."
Gu Yan and Vivian boarded the flyer and went ho together.
This matter was nicely resolved today. Gu Yan was happy, gaining another brother and also preventing a talented Star Warrior from spiraling further downward.
She believed that even if Mu Feng took up a clerical job, he would do very well.
As for what would happen between Mu Feng and Luo Xixi, that was a matter of fate between the two of them.
Gu Yan and Vivian first went to the restaurant to pick up Xu Wei’an. After boarding the flyer, Xu Wei’an looked around and then said in a low voice, "I have sothing that I only know about, and it’s really hard to keep it to myself. I want to tell you, but you mustn’t ntion it to anyone else."
