Chapter 1401 What about the promised control of yourself? (1)
Mu Sijun accompanied Xu Yuning to stroll aimlessly in the garden for a while before taking her back to the ward.
It’s still early.
Xu Yuning wandered back and forth for half a day, froze and couldn’t find anything to pa.s.s the time, and simply asked Mu Sijue, “How are things going in Kangrui City?”
Mu Sijiu took a sip of black coffee and said unhurriedly, “Kang Ruicheng wants to clear his name of economic crimes, while the police are trying to find a way to confirm that he is the murderer of Uncle Lu, and Interpol is also collecting evidence of his crimes.”
Xu Yuning nodded, “What’s the result?”
“The three parties are in a stalemate.” Mousse said, “No results yet.”
“……”
Xu Yuning would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed.
However, she had followed Kang Ruicheng for so long and knew Kang Ruicheng’s strength better than anyone else.
If they wanted to bring down Kang Ruicheng, they had to play steadily and step by step. Once they started to rush, they would instead be taken advantage of by Kang Ruicheng.
Mu Sijun took another sip of coffee to divert Xu Yuning’s attention, “I have news about Mu Mu, do you want to hear it?”
After Xu Yuning came back, she never saw Mu Mu again, and could only occasionally learn about Mu Mu’s recent situation from Mu Sijiu.
She was certainly interested in Mu’s news!
Xu Yuning instantly put the matter of Kang Ruicheng behind her, and looked blearily at Mu Sijun: “How is Mu Mu recently?”
“He goes to the best kindergarten in the area and is mixing well.” Mu Sijun paused and said thoughtfully, “I really underestimated this kid before.”
Xu Yuning exerted his spirit of inquisitiveness, “What does it mean to be well-mixed?”
Mu Sijiu said succinctly, “Teachers like him a lot, and cla.s.smates like to invite him to their homes, especially female cla.s.smates.”
“Oh.” Xu Yuning said in a strange manner, “Not strange, Mu Mu has always been such a delightful little kid!” Said glancing at Mu Si Jue, “Not like when you were a child.”
Mu Sijun narrowed his eyes, his gaze sullen as he looked at Xu Yuning.
Xu Yuning thought he was going to get angry, but he didn’t expect him to just ask, “You know about my childhood?”
“Aunt Zhou told me.” Xu Yuning deliberately scared Mu Sijue, “Auntie Zhou also said that she would slowly tell me more when she has time later!”
Later?
Mu Sijiu’s attention was on these two words, so he didn’t lose his temper at Xu Yuning.
After a while, Mu Sijun looked at Xu Yuning and asked, “You’re curious to know about my childhood?”
“I’m curious.” Xu Yuning had an expectant look on his face, “I’m curious to know how someone like you grew up?”
Musashi frowned again, “What do you mean ‘someone like me’?”
“Oh!” Xu Yuning was too busy to explain, “There’s no pejorative meaning in that statement, I promise!”
Mu Sijun stared at Xu Yuning for a moment, reluctantly accepting her explanation, and turned to ask, “What about you?”
“Huh?” Xu Yuning didn’t respond for a moment, “I what?”
“How did you grow up?” Mu Sijun sized Xu Yuning up, his gaze suddenly becoming otherworldly, “It shouldn’t have been easy for you.”
Xu Yuning at a glance is not a quiet and not trouble girl, as a child is not a scourge is also a small trouble maker, she can grow up, in the eyes of Mu Sijun is a kind of miracle.
Xu Yuning looked at Mu Sijue and snorted coldly, “Don’t think I don’t know what you mean!”
Musashi said with relief, “It’s good that you know.”
“…… “Xu Yuning was speechless instead, silent for a while, his voice suddenly lowered, slowly said, “The person who really isn’t easy is my grandmother.”
Mentioning Grandma Xu, Mu Sijiu stopped joking and just looked at Xu Yuning.
Xu Yuning’s voice was soft, “My grandmother only had my mom as a daughter, and after my parents died unexpectedly, she raised me alone through pain. She said she didn’t want me to repay her, she only wanted me to be happy.
“I didn’t study hard at all when I was a kid, and I ended up going to a not-so-great college, and my grandmother was still very happy and complimented me on how good I was already. When I lived in school, I had the most living expenses for a week out of several girls in our dorm. My grandmother said that I didn’t have a mom and dad anymore, and she wanted to make it up to me in other ways.”
“……” Mu Sijiu didn’t say anything, just listened to Xu Yuning.
Xu Yuning’s voice was even lower, “But now, I don’t even have a grandmother anymore ……”
She had come to terms with her grandmother’s death and had stabilized a lot when she mentioned it.
Acceptance, however, didn’t mean that the incident didn’t affect her anymore.
Mu Sijun put his arm around Xu Yuning, looked at her eyes that were clouded with a layer of sadness, and said, “You’ll have me in the future.”
“……” Xu Yuning couldn’t help but smile, and there was happiness in his smile that he couldn’t hide.
Mu Sijun said word for word, “What Grandma Xu once gave you, I’ll double it.”
Xu Yuning thought for a moment and said mysteriously, “For the sake of you being so nice, I’ll tell you a secret.”
Musashi raised an eyebrow, curiosity flowing from his brow, “When you were a child?”
Xu Yuning shook his head, his expression becoming more and more mysterious, “It’s related to you.”
Mu Sijun seemed to be amused and asked with a smile, “What do you know about my secret?”
Xu Yuning looked at Mu Sijun and said one word at a time, “Actually, my grandmother likes you a lot.”
“……” Mousse got it, unable to tell whether he was surprised or not.
Xu Yuning also didn’t care what Mu Sijun’s reaction was, and continued by herself, “After you went to our house once, my grandmother said that you were a good child, and I spat out that you were already a handful of years old and didn’t have the qualifications to be called a child.”
Mu Sijue revealed Xu Yuning with one sentence, “You just don’t agree with your grandmother’s words.”
“Hey ……” Xu Yuning averted his gaze and looked away somewhat sheepishly, “At that time …… I kind of meant this. But, my grandmother is old, I can’t tell him the truth, lest I irritate her old man.”
“Truth?” Mu Sijiu asked with good humor, “In your eyes, what does the ‘truth’ about me as a person look like?”
Xu Yuning “coughed”, as if hinting at the high energy ahead of Mu Sijue, confirming, “Do you really want to hear it?”
The answer she was expecting, apparently, was that Mousse said he wasn’t interested in knowing anymore.
But, where was Moussegu to let her go so easily?
Mousse nodded, “Why don’t you listen?”
“Well, it’s your own choice ah–” Xu Yuning averted his gaze, his speech was as fast as a tornado, and he said vaguely, “At that time, I thought that you were cold and still arrogant, cold-blooded and heartless, with no hint of a gentleman’s demeanor, and Nothing but a good skin, the person who fell in love with you must be a fool!”
“……” Mu Sijiu narrowed his eyes, stormy staring at Xu Yuning, but unexpectedly did not storm, but instead asked very calmly, “And then?”
Knowing Mu Sijue told Xu Yuning that this was her last chance.
That’s right, Mousse is not currently angry.
However, if her next answer didn’t satisfy Mu Sijun, she would be completely played out.
“Then ……,” Xu Yuning said solemnly, “I realized that the most stupid person was me, and then, I just found out the truth.”
Mu Sijun hooked the corner of his lips and looked at Xu Yuning in a good mood, “Tell me, what is the truth?”
“The truth is-” Xu Yuning said in a serious manner, “Liking you is simply something that is out of one’s control, it has nothing to do with being stupid or not. Your attraction is too great, liking you is all your fault. But then again, liking you isn’t a blind thing, it’s an incomparably correct decision.”
Mu Sijiu looked at Xu Yuning with some amus.e.m.e.nt, “Do you realize that your logic doesn’t make sense at all?”
“There’s no need to make sense of it!” Xu Yuning responded articulately, “Liking someone is supposed to be an illogical thing!”
If he said any more, Xu Yuning wouldn’t know how to make it up.
In order to avoid Mu Sijun from continuing this topic, she took the coffee cup in Mu Sijun’s hand and said, “You’re drinking coffee this late, do you know what drama will be playing in the TV show?”
Mousseguy was unimpressed, “A cup of coffee, what kind of drama can there be?”
“There are many plots!” Xu Yuning said with great interest, “One of the most common plots is that the female lead will go AWOL at this time and replace your coffee with milk or something like that, telling you that drinking milk is better for your body, and you’re outwardly a hundred times more reluctant to do so, but you still drink the milk after the female lead leaves.”
Mu Sijun was indifferent to this plot and asked faintly, “So?”
“So–” Xu Yuning was dumbfounded and pointed at Moushi Jue’s coffee cup, “Do you want me to replace your coffee with milk as well?”
“Don’t you dare!” Mushi Jiu narrowed his eyes and warned dangerously, “I don’t drink milk.”
Xu Yuning was a bit reluctant and pursued, “You won’t drink the one I changed too?”
“You can try-” Mousse said, word for word, “and see if I’ll break your hand.”
“…… “Xu Yuning reflexively shielded her hand and despised Mu Sijun, “You, ah, just don’t have romantic cells!”
Mu Sijun thought of something and moved a few points closer to Xu Yuning, “We can try other romantic ways.”
“……” Xu Yuning was actually looking forward to it, but deliberately stimulated Mu Sijiu, “Forget it, it’s too difficult for you to play romance …… ”
Mu Sijun made a phone call, and the dean’s a.s.sistant quickly sent over a door card and told Mu Sijun that everything was ready.
Mu Sijun “hmm”, took a thin jacket and put it on Xu Yuning, leading her out of the hospital room.
Xu Yuning noticed with sharp eyes that when pressing the elevator, Mu Sijun pressed up, not down.
Her curiosity was suddenly aroused and she looked at Mousseguy unexpectedly, “You’re taking me upstairs?”
“Uh-huh.”
Mu Sijiu’s voice was light, but the corners of his lips held a mysterious smile.
“What for?” Xu Yuning became more and more curious, “At this time of the day, are you taking me upstairs to bathe in the moonlight?”
The elevator happened to come down, and Mu Sijun pulled Xu Yuning in, “Go up and you’ll know.”
Xu Yuning had to follow Mu Sijun into the elevator, looking with antic.i.p.ation at the symbol that the elevator was rising.
It wasn’t what she expected to happen next.
What she was looking forward to was what Mousse understood romance to be.
