Chapter 500: The Sun, Moon, and Stars Are Out of Reach

oment, a car sped towards Mu Xing. Shen Qiong's heart skipped a beat when she saw it was about to hit her. She shouted in alarm, "Little Star, watch out!"At the crucial moment, a tremendous force surg...Once a flexible and agile body, now it feels like a rusty old machine.

Numb and stiff, uncontrollable.

Shen Yue couldn't adapt to, nor accept this state of his. His bland face grew cold, and he pushed away Shi Ye's hand, trying to walk again. But suddenly, he noticed a figure standing at the door.

Their eyes met, his pupils shrinking slightly, little stars...

The next second, realizing his current embarrassment, he quickly withdrew his gaze. Dodging seemed too guilty, so he could only clench his fists and stand stiffly there.

His brows were tightly furrowed with worry from the night, the aftereffects of Shen Yue's incident were much more severe than he anticipated. Seeing Mu Xing arrive, he quickly greeted her: "Miss Gu, you're here!"

Impliedly, urging her to come over quickly and take a look at Shen Yue.

Mu Xing gave a faint 'en' and walked in slowly, her high heels clicking on the floor, "Help him lie down on the bed."

In the dead of night, Shi Ye helped Shen Lue lie back on the bed.

Mu Xing walked to the bedside, pulled up a chair and sat down, flipped over Shen Lue's hand, her fingertips pressed against his wrist, the other hand picked up the tablet placed aside, and looked through his brain monitoring graph.

Shen Lue always turned his face away from the window.

He thought that as long as he didn't look at the little star, he could hide his own panic.

The faint scent of a young girl beside him, and the warm fingertips that pressed lightly and heavily against his wrist, were both corroding his carefully constructed composure.

He placed his other hand on the bedsheet, tightening it slightly.

My heart, it's already beating chaotically...

His fingertip, that had been resting on his wrist, finally moved away. In just a few short minutes, it was as if he had exhausted all of his energy. He closed his eyes and let out a quiet sigh of relief in his heart.

"Shen Yue."

A girl's soft voice suddenly rang out beside her.

This was the first time Little Star had called him like that, her voice no longer as lively and close as before, yet it still sent shivers down his spine.

Shen Yue bit his lip, quickly suppressing all his emotions, and turned to look at her, "Mmm."

“Your body is just out of balance temporarily, it's not a big deal. Just recover for two more days and I'll use acupuncture to help you speed up the recovery of your brain injury. Then, do some moderate exercise, and your flexibility will come back quickly. Don't worry.”

Mu Xing spoke softly, her gaze fixed on Shen Lue's face.

Although they had met a few times after his return, three years apart had made her never really look at him.

His handsome features were exactly as he remembered, but the spark of youthful arrogance and vigor in his brows and eyes had vanished, replaced by a cold, world-weary maturity.

Mu Xing's eyes felt strangely sour, silently calling out to him in her heart: Shen Luege...

Shen Lue naturally felt Mu Xing was observing him. He put on a calm and composed facade, and after she finished speaking, he lightly raised the corner of his mouth, "Thank you."

Even if one's heart is in turmoil, one still maintains proper decorum and politeness.

You're welcome.

Mu Xing responded with a smile, "Don't overthink it, it's just a small problem. You take a good rest, I'll go first. If anything happens, feel free to contact me."

He finished speaking, put down the tablet, and got up to leave.

When Mu Xing's figure disappeared, Shi Ye on the side finally couldn't help but speak: "Hmph... this ice queen would actually laugh! I thought she was like Fu Ye, lacking facial nerves for smiling."

It's no wonder he was startled in the night, after all Mu Xing had never given him a good look.

But Shen Yue was different. He had seen Mu Xing before, the little girl who smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes. Her smile, even if it were brighter than the sun and moon and stars, wouldn't be as dazzling.

- Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Everyone's injuries had mostly healed.

After Mu Xing's acupuncture treatment, Shen Yue's body imbalance also improved greatly, but it still takes some time to reach his previous level of flexibility.

As for Master Fu, under Mu Xing's meticulous care of 'three nutritious meals a day and nine doses of traditional Chinese medicine every three days', his digestive system gradually recovered and adapted. His gaunt features also regained some color.

In the evening, the two people finished their meal.

Fu Lingxiao helped Mu Xing tidy up the tableware, pulled her over and sat her on his lap, and softly said, "Yanyan, I've recovered almost completely. Should we consider going back to Di capital"

Mu Xingbai gave him a glance, "You had open-heart surgery, only half a month has passed, you tell me you've almost recovered"

Thanks to my little Smoke, everything has been blooming since she came. Not only did she heal my wounds, but she also fattened me up.

Fu Lingxiao held Mu Xing's small hand, pressing it against his chest, "Yanyan, touch it, does it feel better than before"

Under the soft fabric, the man's chest had become more muscular, with a touch of firmness.

Mu Xing couldn't forget, he had tormented himself until there was only a layer of skin left, barely clinging to life. Her nose tingled with bitterness, she withdrew her hand and feigned disgust: "Far from my standards."

The once younger uncle, broad-shouldered and strong waist, tall and imposing.

His muscles were clearly defined, his whole body exuding strength. He wasn't like this now, thin and frail, like a delicate beauty pitied by all.

Fu Lingxiao chuckled lightly, "Then let's return to the Imperial Capital and continue our efforts."

Mu Xing understood her uncle's personality. Since he had brought it up, he had already made a decision.

"When are you planning to go back"

"Early tomorrow morning."

Once you leave here, you will immediately lose this rare and peaceful happiness.

He was reluctant, after all, these past few days had been something he hadn't dared to dream of in the past three years.

But his time was running out, he couldn't dwell here. He needed to finish everything as quickly as possible, solve all the problems. Only then could he die with peace of mind.

Mu Xing nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I'll go prepare some medicine later and bring it back for you to eat."

Fu Lingxiao's handsome brows furrowed, "Yiyan, aren't you going back with me"

Mu Xing avoided his gaze, "Well, there are still some things I need to handle in the organization. I can't leave for now."

"Then I'll push back a few days, and we can go back together after you've dealt with everything," Fu Lingxiao replied immediately.

That apothecary still harbored ill intentions towards Xing'er, he might be plotting something again.

If he and Xing'er were to separate, the medicine man might take advantage of the situation…

Three years ago's separation was right before his eyes, that piercing heart-wrenching, soul-tearing pain, he couldn't bear a second time!

Mu Xing, upon hearing this, gave a barely perceptible frown. "There's quite a bit to take care of, and it won't be finished in a short while. It's best not to waste your time. Go back first, and I'll come find you as soon as I'm done."

To reassure her uncle, she added, "Don't worry, I will definitely come find you. Your eyes still need one last acupuncture session. I said I would cure your eyes, and I always keep my word."

Fu Lingxiao's eyes darkened, and he gazed at Mu Xing for a moment, "Good."

The next morning.

After breakfast, Mu Xing sent Fu Lingxiao to the heliport.

He instructed him, "I got medicine for Yun Tuo. You need to take your medicine and eat on time. I finally managed to put some weight on you, don't let yourself get skinny again."

Fu Lingxiao lightly curved his lips, "Good."

Everyone was ready, and Mu Xing didn't say any more: "Let's go."

Fu Lingxiao leaned down and gently kissed her lips. He raised his hand to touch her cheek, then turned and sat in the helicopter.

Fighter jets followed the lead helicopter, a mighty convoy departing from the base, vanishing quickly into the horizon.

Mu Xing retracted her gaze, pulled out her phone, and dialed a number: "I want to see you..."
