Chapter 342 Is there something outside the window?

"Satisfied with what..."

Mu Xiaoyu pushed Li Chenxu away, placed one hand on her chest, and tried to calm the surging emotions in her chest.

Having been reborn, she is much calmer about many things than in her previous life. Even if something happens, she can handle it calmly. However, whenever she faces Li Chenxu, he always has the ability to easily make her lose control.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu didn't know whether to laugh at herself or at Li Chenxu.

However, it must be said that Mu Xiaoyu really likes this feeling.

When you like someone, you naturally want to be close to them. Compared to intimacy in bed, Mu Xiaoyu prefers the kissing and kissing like this, which makes her feel closer to Li Chenxu.

The two of them were going to the sanatorium in the afternoon, and they didn't know how long they would stay there, so after lunch they immediately headed to the sanatorium.

There hasn't been any heavy snow in Beijing these past two days, but the weather has been gloomy every day, with a sense of oppressive gloom like dark clouds pressing down on the city.

Mu Xiaoyu dislikes rainy days, and even more so, she dislikes gloomy weather like this.

She sat in the back seat, the car windows were closed, and she leaned against the window, staring blankly at the dark sky outside, lost in thought.

"There's still more than a month left before winter is finally over. I've never felt that winter could be this long before."

After a long while, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly spoke. Li Chenxu, who was sitting in the car reading documents, paused in his work upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words. His long, strong fingers tapped lightly on the folder, his expression enigmatic.

He remained silent for a moment, then put the documents aside and reached out to pull Mu Xiaoyu into his arms.

"It's only a month, it will pass quickly. And the house will be lively during the Chinese New Year."

"But isn't the more people there are, the more fun it is to celebrate the New Year? Won't it be too lonely for just the two of us to spend the New Year alone in this villa?"

Mu Xiaoyu isn't someone who enjoys particularly lively places. Rather than being in a bustling environment, she prefers to be alone in her own quiet space, where she can have her own time to do what she likes.

But recently, for some reason, she suddenly became afraid of being alone.

Li Chenxu noticed the fleeting worry in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes. He didn't answer immediately, but instead reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear before saying, "Look at how many people there are at the old house every year during the Spring Festival. Is it fun? The Spring Festival isn't about how many people there are. As long as the people you care about and love are by your side, that's what makes it the Spring Festival. Or do you think it's not enough for me to be by your side?"

"How can it be!"

Mu Xiaoyu immediately retorted, but after being comforted by Li Chenxu, she felt much better.

She didn't say anything more, leaned against Li Chenxu's chest, and closed her eyes to rest.

The journey to the sanatorium was not short. Mu Xiaoyu leaned against Li Chenxu's chest and fell asleep in no time. When she woke up again, the car had already stopped at the gate outside the sanatorium.

"arrive?"

Mu Xiaoyu had just woken up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the sanatorium gate, feeling it was a bit deserted than last time. Because it was close to the Chinese New Year, there were Spring Festival couplets and decorations outside the sanatorium.

Even so, Mu Xiaoyu still felt lonely.

Li Chenxu nodded at Mu Xiaoyu, thought for a moment, and then said, "The New Year is coming in a few days. Many people in the sanatorium have been taken back by their families. Those who remain in the sanatorium now are some people with more serious health conditions. If you... if you want, I can have someone move the equipment to the villa during the New Year so that Auntie can spend the New Year there."

Li Chenxu's words immediately made Mu Xiaoyu understand. She wondered why it felt so deserted; almost everyone at the sanatorium had left, so how could it not be deserted? It was alright now, but during the Lunar New Year, many of the sanatorium's staff would be on holiday, and it would only be deserted then.

For so many years, this is how my mother has spent every Chinese New Year.

The thought of this situation made Mu Xiaoyu feel a pang of sadness.

However, she didn't want Li Chenxu to worry, so when she heard him say that, she immediately shook her head and said, "Let's talk about this in a few days. We need to see how my mother is doing. If she recovers well, she might be able to come home with us for the New Year. We shouldn't ruin her health for the sake of temporary happiness."

After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath without making a sound. Then, she said to Li Chenxu, whose eyes were complicated, "Alright, time is tight anyway, and you still have to go to the company later, let's go in."

Li Chenxu gave a soft "hmm" and said no more. After getting out of the car with Mu Xiaoyu, he took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and led her into the sanatorium.

I thought the outside of the sanatorium was already deserted enough, but after going inside, I found that the inside was much deserted than the outside.

Normally, places like sanatoriums are quiet and deserted when there are many people. Now, the sanatorium is less than half full, and there are almost no people in the corridors. Walking in is like entering an empty building.

The sound of Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's footsteps was clearly audible. Coupled with the gloomy sky outside, Mu Xiaoyu felt as if she were in a horror movie.

She couldn't help but rub her arms, and goosebumps immediately rose on her skin.

Noticing that something was wrong with Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu immediately asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mu Xiaoyu quickly shook her head, tugged at Li Chenxu's sleeve and said stammeringly, "I just feel that the sanatorium looks so...so gloomy today, like something out of a horror movie."

"A horror movie?"

Li Chenxu repeated Mu Xiaoyu's words, and was immediately at a loss for words. Coco glanced at Mu Xiaoyu's nervous expression, and the next second her eyes rolled, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face. It was the kind of smile that an old fox would give when he was about to do something bad.

If Mu Xiaoyu had seen this at this moment, she might have been on guard, but unfortunately, Mu Xiaoyu saw nothing.

"Xiaoyu, look outside the window, is there something there?"
