"Ahem, ahem, are you alright?”Coffe knocked on Mo Tiantian's bedroom door. He had been pacing outside the door for a long time, hesitating whether he should enter or not.
"This silly girl won't do anything out of line, right?”Coffe shuddered at the thought of Anthony's terrifying gaze when he realized that Mo Tiantian was still injured under his protection.
"It's fine. Come in." Mo Tiantian's voice came out from the door. It was so calm that it seemed like he had just woken up.
Coffe pushed the door open and entered, but…
"Come, come, come. I'll teach you how to play mahjong! Haha, let me tell you. There is a saying that goes,"Where there are people from China, there will be mahjong."
Coffe was speechless. He had stood outside the door for so long and thought of thousands of ways to comfort Mo Tiantian. What expression to use, what words to use that would not hurt her already hurt heart? Did this girl not know that being willful was a woman's right? She was so kind that he thought she was cute.
"Don't force yourself. If you want to cry, cry!”
"Haha, what kind of joke are you making? You're so cocky, you can't wait for me to cry for you? "I'm having so much fun playing mahjong! Haha!" Mo Tiantian laughed so hard that tears were about to fall from her eyes.
Coffe stood there with a frown and remained silent. The room was filled with Mo Tiantian's unbridled laughter, which gradually turned into soft sobs.
"Why? Why did you have to ruthlessly tear apart my last layer of disguise? You didn't even give me a chance to protect my pitiful self-esteem. Are you satisfied now that I'm crying?”
"I just want to comfort you. Don't be sad because of what others say. People who care about what others say are idiots.”
"Heh, who do you think you are? Do you know me very well?”Mo Tiantian didn't know if she was laughing at Coffe's self-righteousness or at her fragile disguise.
" Of course I do." Coffe almost blurted out," I know you."”He only secretly added in his heart,'I was appointed by Lord to protect you. Other than when you took a shower or went to the toilet, I was always by your side to protect you. How could I not understand?”
Coffe gently walked towards Mo Tiantian and patted her back." I will always be by your side. Whether you are sad or happy, I will do this."”
"You? You won't have any feelings for me."
"Don't misunderstand. You can see it as a brother's love for his sister.”Hearing Coffe's words, Mo Tiantian suddenly felt warm, as if she was at home. She smiled gratefully at Coffe.
For a moment, there was nothing to say. Time seemed to have frozen.
The curtains were half-open, and the hazy moonlight shone on Mo Tiantian's body, illuminating half of her face. Her hair fell behind her ears, and Mo Tiantian used her leg to support her chin, deep in thought. In that instant, Coffe felt like his heart was about to stop beating. The quiet Mo Tiantian was breathtakingly beautiful. It was so beautiful that it was as if he had crossed the barrier of time and met Alice again.
"Am I ridiculous? "I think so too," the lonely voice echoed in the small room, waking Coffe, who was still immersed in his daze."Ahem, no, no."”Coffe coughed awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment.
"How could I? Don't mind what that woman said. It's just her wishful thinking.”Coffe gently walked towards Mo Tiantian, comforting the lonely Mo Tiantian.
"Is it wishful thinking? She wasn't the only one who had wishful thinking. I, am also not thinking of it one-sidedly."
Hearing Mo Tiantian's words, Coffe's body trembled." You, are you?"
"I understand. Anthony is high and mighty. I'm just a commoner girl with no family background. The reason why he treats me differently from other women is because I'm very similar to someone else.”Mo Tiantian buried her face in her chest. It turned out that admitting the truth was such a painful thing, such a suffocating thing.
" But even so, I hope that one day he will have a different feeling towards me, only towards me, and not from me looking for the missing Alice. But this is just my wishful thinking, I am just a substitute for him," Mo Tiantian said to herself, tears slowly filling up her eyes and sliding down the corners of her eyes.
"I don't know what Anthony is thinking, and I don't dare to speculate. However, I can guarantee you that you are more important than many people in his heart. You are much more important to him than I am to him.”Coffe smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Sigh, this girl still doesn't understand the situation! A man who wanted to kill me just because his calf was hurt by Sophia's plot. A man who was worried about hiding this girl in the castle and wanted me to protect her personally. No matter how you look at it, I'm the most pitiful person."
"Is that so? No matter what, thank you for comforting me like this.”Mo Tiantian smiled at Coffe with tears in her eyes." I always thought you were a cold-blooded person. You didn't smile or respond. I didn't expect you to be such a gentle person. Thank you, brother.”
"Ahem, don't think too much. After crying, go downstairs to eat. Aren't you hungry?”Coffe immediately put on a familiar face of a thousand-year-old iceberg and said coldly. Then, he quickly turned around and left. Coffe leaned against the wall and took a deep breath the moment he closed the door.
" Eh, I've never been so nervous when I'm on a mission, even when it's a life and death situation! Why was it that just a few words from this girl made his mind unstable?”Coffe thought in annoyance. Only he knew that if he didn't leave quickly, that clever girl might have noticed the blush on his face.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to have been adjusted by Coffe. Mo Tiantian straightened her back and took a deep breath before exhaling. She tried her best to let out all the unhappiness that had been stuck in her heart.
"Who cares! The sky is going to rain, the mother is going to get married, let him be! I'm hungry, let's go eat ~ Ah, there's one more thing. I must carry forward the vast and profound quintessence of mahjong in China…Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a great ideal!”
