Chapter 420: A Moment's Encounter, Entangled in Dreams
hung in the air.For a moment, Fu Lingxiao coldly lifted his thin lips, "You lured me here to disregard Mu Xing's life and death. If you can't give me a treatment plan for Mu Xing today, I will bloodba...Mu Xing said calmly, "I'll pay for what I owe, but before we talk about compensation, could you please find someone to help me get the helicopter out of the ditch"
The captain was also going to assess the damage on the deck. After Mu Xing finished speaking, he had someone use a machine to lift the helicopter out.
Intending to keep it as evidence, the girl didn't know when she ran to the machine and directly took over control of it. She operated the machine and threw the helicopter into the sea.
Captain: "..."
Mu Xing calmly picked up the suitcase by her feet and looked at the captain: "Let's go, let's talk about compensation."
The captain had people assess the damage to the deck and the repair costs, then he led Mu Xing into the interior of the cruise ship.
Leading her into a conference room to wait, he arranged for two sailors to stand guard at the door and hurried upstairs.
The cruise ship has twenty floors, with floors 18 to 20 being private areas, guarded by security personnel at each level and off-limits to passengers.
Downstairs, there was a flurry of activity, with hurried stringed instruments and flowers and brocade everywhere.
The nineteenth floor was deathly silent, like another world.
When the captain arrived on the nineteenth floor, Yun Tuo was already standing at the elevator entrance. His bodyguard had just reported to him about the helicopter crashing onto the deck.
Since two years ago, Mu Xing Xiao Ai died in a plane crash, helicopters became Fu Ye's taboo, not even a word could be heard.
Seeing the captain approach, he whispered, "You don't need to inform Master Fu about this matter. You handle it."
"Yes."
The captain nodded and left.
Yun Tuo looked at the tightly closed door in the distance, letting out a long sigh.
-
Mu Xing waited in the conference room for a while, and then the captain came back with an insurance claim form.
He placed the papers on the table and pushed them toward Mu Xing, "Miss, this is the amount you need to compensate. Please take a look."
Mu Xing glanced casually, not bothering to look at the amount on top. She opened her suitcase, lifted it, and dumped it onto the table. "I only have this."
A large gold ingot "clanged" as it fell, stacking on the table.
A heap, golden and glittering.
The captain was completely dumbfounded. Where on earth did this girl get her wealth She just casually tossed away a helicopter and was running around with gold bars in hand
But Mu Xing remained composed.
The castle was full of priceless treasures everywhere.
He didn't even bother with antiques or jade, just gold bars piled high enough to fill a whole room.
Joe Tai Shan told her that those things were hers, but she had never paid them any attention.
No matter how precious those things were, they were worthless on the island. But she also knew that once she ventured out into the world, they would become necessities.
She didn't know much about the outside world and, just in case, she borrowed some gold bars. She didn't take many because they were heavy, only bringing two light suitcases.
"Look, is this enough to compensate you"
The captain suppressed his surprise and called the crew over to examine, weigh, and calculate the value of the gold bars. After deducting the amount due for compensation, he returned the remaining gold to Mu Xing.
This time, Mu Xing came out without a destination in mind. Now that the helicopter is broken, what's next
She decided to stay on the cruise ship for one night first and think about where she wanted to go.
"I'm going to stay here for one night."
Mu Xing handed a gold bar to the staff member.
The staff member twitched the corner of their mouth. “One night's stay doesn't cost that much, but our Eastern Jewel's route is three days away from the next port.”
"Then three days."
Now there's no other way, I just hope Qiao Daishan doesn't come after me.
-
To reduce her own sense of presence, Mu Xing stayed in her cabin all day, with meals and drinks brought by staff.
Only when the deep of night arrived, and the glamorous bustle on the cruise ship subsided completely, would she go out to breathe some fresh air.
Late the next night.
Mu Xing sat on the empty deck, gazing up at the vast night sky, pondering where she would go tomorrow when the cruise ship docked.
A sudden cough echoed from above, startlingly loud in the quiet of the night.
Her thoughts were interrupted, Mu Xing frowned and turned her head to look.
A man in a black suit, two decks above, stood at the railing. His body leaned slightly forward due to a violent cough.
After the coughing subsided, he resumed smoking, the flame flickering at his fingertips. A profound loneliness clung to him, almost merging with the darkness of the night.
The white smoke billowed around him, obscuring his face from Mu Xing's view. She could only make out the outline of his features.
The brow ridge is prominent just right, the eye sockets are deep, the nose bridge is straight and strong, and the jawline is well-defined.
This man's skeletal structure is extremely perfect. The only drawback is that his face is too thin, giving him a very strong bone sense.
Mu Xing sized him up for a few seconds, just about to look away when the man suddenly lowered his head.
Does he seem to be looking at her
The smoke cleared a little, revealing the man's upper face.
Under the moonlight, Mu Xing saw his eyes.
Although they were such profound eyes, they seemed like a galaxy of stars being devoured by darkness.
Empty, dreary, devoid of life.
Such beautiful eyes, yet unable to see. What a pity!
I really wish I could fix him!
Mùxīng sighed silently in her heart, then turned and went back to her cabin…
On the edge of the railing on the nineteenth deck, Fu Lingxiao stared down at his feet until the cigarette burned to his fingertip, the searing pain bringing him back to reality.
Just now, he actually felt Xing'er looking at him.
Clearer than any hallucination before.
Has your condition worsened again
That's fine.
Even if it was just an illusion, as long as he could feel Xing'er's presence again, it would be enough to support him.
He reached up and took out a pen from the inner pocket of his suit jacket on the left, gripping it tightly in his hand, his fingertips gently rubbing against the chipped casing.
The ring on the nameless finger glittered faintly in the moonlight.
He pursed his thin lips, a hoarse voice whispering softly, "Xing'er, wait for me a little longer..."
-
Inside the cabin.
Mù Xīng slept on the soft big bed, inexplicably falling into a dream.
"Baby…"
"Baby, I want you so much..."
"Baby, you said you'd never leave me..."
He clung to her, his husky voice a burning caress as he called her "baby," each word a silken thread weaving a spell that threatened to consume her.
She couldn't see his face, but she could see his eyes.
My heart suddenly and unexpectedly shot a searing pain at that moment!
Mu Xing suddenly woke up, raising her hand to touch her heart. The stabbing pain seemed to exist only in a dream, disappearing without a trace the moment she woke up.
But upon her, there seemed to linger still the kiss of the man from her dreams.
The cabin was silent, and she could hear her own heart pounding wildly.
Her cheeks flushed, she silently frowned.
In her dream, she saw clearly the man's eyes, exactly the same as the one smoking on the deck.
Only in his dream, those dark eyes were profound and bright, their gaze harboring a fierce, ravenous desire, as if to tear her limb from limb.
I actually dreamed about a man I'd only met once, and he even had some color to him...
This is outrageous.
Mu Xing rubbed her face and finally attributed the reason to that man's too beautiful eyes, making her feel inexplicably moved to help him treat his eyes.
The ultimate, maxed-out little sweetheart of Master Fu who fights super fiercely.from her grasp, and the familiar scent faded away.Fu Lingxiao was terrified that she would disappear without a trace. Panicked, he scrambled to his feet to chase after her, but his frail body gave way...
