Searching Beauty
The air conditioning was set just right, the air was fresh, and the taste of the food and drinks was perfect.
Mu Zi sat by the window in a restaurant, enjoying the wonderful feeling while curiously observing the street scene outside through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Inside and outside the window were two entirely different worlds.
Thick dark clouds had gathered in the eastern sky, slowly surging towards the sun at its zenith. The sun, in its last struggle, seemed to be emitting all its heat, baking the city like a furnace.
A storm was about to come.
People on the street seemed to fear the pre-storm heat would scorch them, leaving the street almost deserted. The few who passed by hurried, unwilling to stay in the sweltering heat for a second longer.
At least for now, Mu Zi could sit here, enjoying the rare coolness and tranquility.
With this thought, Mu Zi decided to slowly calm his mind, gradually pushing the restless feeling to the back of his mind.
His brain started working rapidly again.
Fifth floor, mahjong, dogs, scorching heat, the impending storm...
Based on the information he had, this mission seemed nearly impossible.
So, what else did he know about her...
He twirled his hair, scouring his memory for information about this woman.
Deceitful, arrogant, vain, fond of flaunting her beauty, heaps of makeup, pungent cheap perfume, and...
The clouds were getting closer, darkening the sky, indicating a heavy rain was imminent. People on the street quickened their pace, sensing the approaching storm.
Unconsciously, Mu Zi thought about how every major event in his life had been linked to rain.
What would happen this time?
He found it hard to focus, as it was too difficult to plan an accident with just the current information.
He paid the bill, stood up, and headed for the door.
When everything seems at a standstill, it's best not to dwell on it. Obsessing over a problem isn't always effective.
In a blink, the sky was completely overcast, with distant thunder rumbling.
Shops along the street hurried to bring their goods inside, and pedestrians started to run. The scene was chaotic.
Mu Zi mounted his motorcycle and started it.
Glancing in the rearview mirror, he suddenly froze!
A woman in a white dress was wandering the streets, looking around, standing out amidst the hurried crowd.
Ouyang Liuse!
He looked again in disbelief. It really was Ouyang Liuse!
At the same time, Ouyang Liuse also saw his motorcycle and him sitting on it.
Mu Zi got off his bike, turned around, and the two looked at each other.
In the midst of the bustling crowd, the two of them stood still like statues.
Sparse raindrops began to fall from the sky. The thunder and lightning grew more frequent.
Unknowingly, the entire street became empty, leaving only this pair of young man and woman gazing at each other.
Mu Zi finally moved forward, walking towards Ouyang Liuse.
He approached her, gazing into those charming eyes filled with watery grievances.
"Ouyang, I intended to find you after finishing this task..." He got lost in those watery, grievous eyes, instinctively explaining his heart.
But before he could finish, Ouyang Liuse suddenly hugged him. Then, she bit his shoulder.
The hug was tight, and the bite even more forceful. Mu Zi clearly felt the pain of teeth piercing his skin, thinking a chunk of flesh might be bitten off his shoulder.
However, he didn't struggle, simply extending his arms, embracing Ouyang Liuse, letting her bite.
Fortunately, Ouyang Liuse didn't really bite off a piece of his flesh; she eventually let go.
The raindrops suddenly became more intense, pouring down in torrents.
Mu Zi, in a forceful move, swept Ouyang Liuse into his arms and sealed her rosy lips with his...
In a simple but clean and warm motel, the fiery love of a young couple intensely unfolded. Their glistening bodies entangled and thrusted in a frenzy, filling the small room with sultry heat. Outside, the rain grew more urgent, accompanied by fierce lightning and thunderous roars, seemingly cheering on their passionate embrace...
Time flew in their intoxicating romance, and when they finally stopped, exhausted, it was already past eight in the evening. Only then did they truly start to converse.
Ouyang Liuse told Mu Zi that Chu Chu was Li Tian's biological daughter. After learning the truth, Li Tian immediately went to find Chu Chu, but she had already gone to America with her grandparents before Chu Xuelin was imprisoned. Li Tian then decided to go to America to find his daughter. Before leaving, unable to contact Mu Zi, he had sought out Ouyang Liuse, entrusting her with a bank card to pass on to Mu Zi, before hastily boarding a flight.
When Li Tian came to Ouyang Liuse, she was also anxious, unable to find Mu Zi. Mu Zi's phone was off, and his rental apartment was empty every time she visited. She feared something had happened to him. In her anxiety and helplessness, Li Tian informed her that Mu Zi was in Binan handling his final task. This prompted Ouyang Liuse to immediately head to Binan, searching tirelessly in the crowded city for the young man on a Harley motorcycle. Today was her third day searching for Mu Zi in Binan.
Mu Zi held her captivating body tightly, inhaling the fragrance of her hair deeply.
This woman, she was the one he wanted, for a lifetime.
Originally, he had planned to find Ouyang Liuse in Binbei after dealing with Mina and continue his journey of ideals with her. Unexpectedly, she had come to him first.
Ouyang Liuse stared at him and asked softly, "Do you really have to kill?"
Mu Zi gently stroked her sweat-drenched face with his finger and said indifferently, "For such a person, only death can wash away her sins."
Ouyang Liuse's eyes became confused: "Even for me, won't you stop?"
Mu Zi paused for a moment, then slowly asked, "Have you ever harbored hatred?"
Ouyang Liuse was also stunned. Scenes from her past flashed rapidly in her mind. The street bullies who dominated the streets, the men who swarmed around her for her beauty...
But in the end, she gently shook her head.
Sin has its own divine justice, its own laws to punish. And even if there is hatred, as an ordinary person, what right do I have to deprive another person of their life for my hatred?
Mu Zi smiled bitterly, feeling the need to give this girl a lesson in thought.
What if the heavens lose their ability to judge good and evil?
