Midsummer Mermaid

Chapter 94 Midsummer Chapter 2 (22)
Mu Xia walked out of the courtyard filled with magnolia fragrance in a daze.

She didn't change the maid uniform she was wearing, and just sat quietly on a long wooden chair.The wind in summer is always warm, and the stars in the night sky are also dazzling, but when Mu Xia looked down at the ring on her ring finger, her brows began to frown slightly.

She caressed the star-like diamond ring, but felt a little strange.

She pursed her lips lightly, trying to take it off, but it was a bit tight.However, she pulled harder until a hand stopped her suddenly.

"Xiao Xia."

Ling Xuanyu's eyes looked hazy under the moonlight, like night fog approaching dusk.

Mu Xia could no longer look into his eyes, but could only look at the red finger.

"I'm sorry," he murmured sincerely, "I'm sorry that I proposed to you without your consent."

She was intimidated.

She had never seen Ling Xuanyu like this before, this was not the brother Yu she knew, the gentle and careful protector seemed to have disappeared.

"Yu, what happened to you tonight, do you have any helplessness, if it is you, you can tell me, your joke is really too big."

Mu Xia looked at the ring on his hand, "This is something that doesn't belong to me, I will return it to you, you can give it to someone you really like."

"yes……"

"?"

His expression was a little helpless, and his eyes were hurt.

And she still had that confused look in her eyes.

"Haven't I said enough tonight?"

"feather?"

"Could it be that what you've always felt is just how your sister feels towards your brother?" He stared into her eyes with heartache, "Could it be that wearing this ring on your finger is just a kind of torture?"

"..."

His tone was like Night Breeze, with a bitter smile on his lips, "I understand this is self-deception, you don't like me, you have always been. In your heart, I should be a big brother who protects you and stays by your side Sharing your happiness and unhappiness. But Xiao Xia, I don’t want to play the role of a big brother anymore.”

"..."

"You have worked so hard for him, but he is unmoved. I don't want to see you sad for him again. Let me take care of you from now on, okay?"

"Yu, I... I'm sorry..."

But at that moment his heart was utterly lost.

He silently watched her back as she left the courtyard...

The night shrouded his slender figure, gradually engulfing him...

He had already guessed this answer, but he still had a glimmer of hope that she would not reject his love.

Seeing that Ling Xuansheng paid more and more attention to her, he became anxious.However, this kind of anxiety pushed him to the edge of the cliff, which made him reveal the feelings buried in his heart for many years tonight.

At that moment, he found himself impulsive and regretted it.

He knew that she would no longer confide in him as before, nor would she act like a child in front of him.

Xiao Xia, will you avoid me from now on?
……

The master bedroom of Ling's house.

Master Ling and Mrs. Ling returned to the dormitory, and after each changed into pajamas, Mrs. Ling combed her hair on the dressing table, while Master Ling sat on the sofa and read the newspaper superficially.

Mrs. Ling said slowly, "It seems that we have all misunderstood our minds. It turns out that Xiao Xia likes Xiao Sheng. When I was a child, I saw Xiao Yu and Xiao Xia playing together and thought they hit each other very well. I always thought that when they grow up It would be great to be able to get married. Hey, it's really hard to say about the relationship."
