Chapter 253 No need to apologize.
The hazy moonlight poured down from overhead, casting a shadow on Zuo Xiao's face, making the young man's figure appear inexplicably lonely and desolate, with a sense of loss.
Mo Yuankai couldn't see his expression clearly, but seeing Zuo Xiao in this state made him feel indescribably distressed.
He withdrew his gaze from the young man, and Mo Yuankai lowered his eyes and organized his words for a while, "He... is quite similar to you sometimes."
Hearing this, Zuo Xiao turned his head to look at the man in surprise, but just in time he saw Chi Yu, who had come out of the house at some point and was standing not far away from him, looking at this side.
Zuo Xiao tilted his head and glanced sideways at Chi Yu.
When his eyes met the young man's, Chi Yu, who had come out to look for Mo Yuankai, inexplicably felt like retreating. He avoided Zuo Xiao's sight a little uncomfortably and glanced at Mo Yuankai, who was sitting next to him with his back to him looking at the young man. Chi Yu hesitated for a while, and finally turned around and went back silently without saying hello, as if he had never appeared.
Seeing this, Zuo Xiao didn't say anything. He turned his head and looked at Mo Yuankai again. Thinking that Mo Yuankai would have something to say next, he waited for him quietly for a long time. However, the man fell silent again after saying just that one sentence, and just glanced at him with a conflicted look on his face.
He tentatively reached out his hand to touch Mo Yuankai's big palm placed on the stone beside him. The moment his slightly warm fingertips touched the back of his hand, seeing that the man did not resist or dodge, Zuo Xiao's hand passed through his palm and held Mo Yuankai's.
He looked at the man with a smile, as if he was happy for Mo Yuankai's words that he always had him in his heart, and for the hand he was holding at this moment.
"But, after getting along with Chi Yu, I realized, you are you and he is him, you are actually two different people." Mo Yuankai just organized his next sentence and continued to speak. Facing Zuo Xiao's closeness, he looked a little unnatural as he slowly pulled his hand out of Zuo Xiao's palm, "And I'm already with Chi Yu, so, I'm sorry..." His eyes drooped slightly, his expression full of guilt.
As soon as the man finished speaking, the smile on Zuo Xiao's face froze for a moment as if it was frozen. Looking at the empty hand, the young man was at a loss for a moment.
After they were both silent for a long while, Zuo Xiao withdrew his hand, pulled the corners of his mouth to loosen the stiffness on his face and tried to smile more naturally. He did not dare to look at Mo Yuankai but raised his eyes and looked straight ahead and said, "Actually, you don't have to say sorry."
"You don't have to feel too guilty."
After a pause, he couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Mo Yuankai, "It is indeed a thing of the past between us." Looking at the man who felt deeply guilty, Zuo Xiao's eyes showed a trace of pity, and he continued, "So, I just hope that you don't have any psychological burden because of my existence."
"You have to know that everything I do for you is voluntary from the bottom of my heart."
After hearing this, Mo Yuankai turned his head and looked at him, not knowing whether he should continue to apologize or comfort him.
"Chi Yu is quite cute, she must have a good personality, right?" Zuo Xiao pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to smile, but he didn't know if he was trying too hard, it looked a little stiff, "You two, um, are quite a good match."
Mo Yuankai lowered his eyebrows, as if he didn't dare or couldn't bear to look at the young man beside him who was pretending to be relaxed. He just listened quietly and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
When they were both silent, the atmosphere between them became somewhat stiff, and there was an inexplicable sense of depression.
After a moment, Zuo Xiao suddenly said, "He just came out, probably looking for you. When he saw us together, he left without saying hello."
Zuo Xiao paused, and felt that his vision was becoming increasingly uncontrollably blurred. He withdrew his gaze from Mo Yuankai rather embarrassedly, raised his head slightly, looked at the slowly moving black clouds in the night sky, and blinked, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
"He may have misunderstood something. Go back and explain it to him."
Mo Yuankai's reaction was slow for a moment before he realized that the "he" Zuo Xiao was referring to was Chi Yu. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the temporary residence. Although he was a little worried that Chi Yu might have wild thoughts, Mo Yuankai did not get up and leave immediately. He looked hesitant, "But I haven't finished guarding the first half of the night yet."
"Aren't I here to guard this place? Besides, this is my territory. Or do you not believe in my ability?" Zuo Xiao asked in a displeased manner. He pushed the man and pushed Mo Yuankai away from the natural stone pillar under his buttocks. "Leave when you should. Don't hesitate. Are you still a man?"
Having said this, Mo Yuankai couldn't insist any longer, "Okay, then I'll go back first." After saying that to Zuo Xiao, he turned around and walked back.
Zuo Xiao silently watched the man's figure gradually disappearing. The smile on his face had not yet faded, but his eyes became uncontrollably moister until they were completely blurred. Zuo Xiao was still reluctant to look away.
