[Revenge + mystery-solving + scheming + fake sweet innocence + sweet on the surface, dark within + yandere + comedy]
The first time Mo Xue saw Murong Jin, he was lounging on a sofa in a luxurious KTV private room, his eyes half-lidded. A sexy, fiery woman pressed eagerly into his arms to feed him grapes and wine, while another coquettish beauty, soft as boneless silk, nestled against his chest and sweetly flirted with him. The colorful lights glimmered across his exquisite, androgynous face. He seemed completely immersed in this world of indulgence.
“Why are you standing there? Come over here.” The hand resting on her right shoulder was warm and broad, easily covering her entire shoulder. Mo Xue turned her head slightly, smiled gently, and followed Lin Ying to the sofa. Qiu Yue, who had been rolling her eyes beside them, immediately shoved Lin Ying aside and sat between the two, then disdainfully picked up her own coat and draped it over Mo Xue. “Keep your hands to yourself around my Xiao Xue.”
Mo Xue shook her head with an amused smile. They were both her closest friends, yet whenever they met, they were at each other’s throats. Though they were both gorgeous, they would stiffen their necks and refuse to back down whenever they bickered, like two rooster fighters with their feathers raised. It was rather comical.
An unopened carton of plain milk was held out in front of her, steam rising from it. In the noisy private room, it seemed completely out of place. Mo Xue followed the arm holding it and met Mu Chen’s warm, caring eyes. His expression was firm, with a hint that he would brook no refusal. After a moment’s hesitation, she reached out to take the milk, her polite thanks tinged with distance and indifference.
All of this was reflected in Murong Jin’s eyes, which looked neither fully drunk nor entirely sober. A trace of cold mockery touched his lips.
