Xu Youning doesn't know when it started. Every morning when she wakes up, she likes to stand on the balcony and look into the distance.
Perhaps it was because deep down in her heart, she still hoped to escape from the steel cage of the Kang family.
When she came out, Xu Youning just put on a shawl and blew the wind for a while. The chill of early spring gradually spread to her body. She felt that she should go back to the house.
She pushed open the glass door of the balcony and went back to her room.
Mu Mu didn't know when she woke up. She was kneeling on the bed with her long legs bent, looking thoughtful, and she didn't seem happy.
Xu Youning walked over, rubbed his cold hands, covered Mu Mu's face, and asked softly: "Little guy, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Mu was frozen for a moment and didn't have much reaction. She just raised her eyes and looked at Xu Youning. After a while, she asked in a low voice: "Aunt Youning, has the New Year passed?"
Xu Youning vaguely understood why the little guy was unhappy. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and rubbed the little guy's face vigorously: "Do you feel that the New Year has passed, so you are unhappy?"
Mu Mu nodded her little head, her black and soft hair swaying with his movements: "Yesterday was the New Year, and I had a very happy time. If the New Year is over, I will feel unhappy."
Xu Youning burst out laughing and said, "The New Year is not over yet."
Mu Mu's childlike eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Xu Youning with a sparkling look: "Really? How long until the New Year is over?"
"Really!" Xu Youning told the little guy with certainty, "New Year is still half a month away, you can play slowly! Also, you can set off fireworks tonight!"
"yeah!"
Mu Mu cheered and threw herself into Xu Youning's arms. Her laughter was crisp and happy, and it sounded so cute.
Xu Youning held the little guy's little hand: "Let's go down and have breakfast."
Kang Ruicheng went out yesterday and didn't know when he would come back. When Xu Youning led Mu Mu downstairs, he was already sitting in the restaurant.
Early in the morning, Kang Ruicheng's expression was unexpectedly kind, and he waved to Mu Mu and Xu Youning: "Come over for breakfast."
Mu Mu not only did not run over happily, but instead took a step back and held Xu Youning's hand tighter. Her childish voice was full of anxiety: "Aunt Youning, Daddy is acting weird today, let's be careful!"
Xu Youning looked down at the little guy and asked with a smile: "Are you afraid that your dad is like this?"
Mu Mu nodded honestly: "I'm very scared!"
"Well, don't be afraid!" Xu Youning patted the little guy on the head, "Your daddy is in a good mood today, that's why he is like this."
Mu Mu stuck out her tongue, walked over, climbed on the chair and sat upright: "Good morning, Daddy."
"Good morning." Kang Ruicheng picked up the milk cup and poured a glass of milk into the cup in front of Mumu. He thought about it and then said, "Drink it."
Mumu blinked her eyes, picked up the cup, made a few noises, and drank the milk in one breath.
"..." Xu Youning felt that the little guy was working hard, and looked at Kang Ruicheng speechlessly, "Can you stop using a commanding tone and be nice to the kid?"
Kang Ruicheng frowned, not knowing where he was wrong, and asked: "My tone just now sounded like an order?"
"It's not like that." Xu Youning had the urge to complain about Kang Ruicheng for the first time, "You just have a commanding tone!"
"..." Kang Ruicheng felt a little uncomfortable, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Next time, I will try my best to change things."
"belch--"
As soon as Kang Ruicheng finished speaking, Mu Mu burped in response to the situation.
Kang Ruicheng glanced at Mu Mu. The little guy seemed to be frightened. He subconsciously covered his mouth and hid his small body towards Xu Youning. He was obviously afraid of Kang Ruicheng.
Xu Youning pointed at Mu Mu and signaled to Kang Ruicheng: "Look -"
"..."
Kang Ruicheng said nothing, with a look similar to embarrassment on his face.
Halfway through the breakfast for the three of them, Dongzi walked in and saw Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning together. He swallowed back the words that had reached his lips and said, "Brother Cheng, I'll wait for you outside."
"Come here." Kang Ruicheng's voice was very calm, "If you need anything, just tell me."
Because Xu Youning was present, Dongzi hesitated to speak.
There is a tacit understanding between Dongzi and Kang Ruicheng - they want to avoid Xu Youning on certain things related to Mu Sijue.
He suddenly didn't say anything just now. Kang Ruicheng should have guessed that the matter was related to Musijue.
But, he actually asked him to continue talking?
Does this mean...that they don't need to avoid Xu Youning?
Dongzi was still a little unsure and said tentatively: "Brother Cheng, the matter has something to do with Mu Sijue..."
Kang Ruicheng said "Yes" calmly, and said without hesitation: "Let's talk."
"..." Dongzi continued, "I'm sure that Musijue's injury is serious."
Kang Ruicheng glanced at Dongzi and asked after two seconds: "How is it?"
"It seems that Musijue's injury is not serious. He handled things normally this morning as usual." Dongzi lowered his head, "Brother Cheng, I'm sorry."
"It's none of your business." Kang Ruicheng said, "As you said, Musijue is not hurt so easily."
Dongzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then...Brother Cheng, I'm going out first."
He turned around and left the restaurant. Not long after waiting outside, Kang Ruicheng came out.
Kang Ruicheng's expression and outline were no longer as soft as they were in the restaurant, and had become cold and stiff.
Dongzi went up to meet him and called out respectfully: "Brother Cheng!"
Kang Ruicheng's face was solemn and his voice was as cold as an ice knife: "Are you sure that Musijue's injury is not serious?"
Dongzi nodded: "I'm sure, our people saw it with their own eyes."
Kang Ruicheng narrowed his eyes, overturned a potted plant with one hand, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Let's go!"
Dongzi hurriedly kept up with Kang Ruicheng and asked: "Brother Cheng, from now on... can we mention Mu Sijue in front of Miss Xu?"
"She really hates Musijue to the core." Kang Ruicheng said, "We don't have to avoid her anymore."
Dongzi said "Oh" and then asked, "Where are we going?"
"Isn't Mu Sijue's injury not serious?" Kang Ruicheng laughed coldly, "Next time, we will kill him!"
The implication is that they are looking for opportunities to carry out their next action.
Dongzi didn't dare to say anything and had no choice but to keep up with Kang Ruicheng.
When Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi left, Xu Youning and Mu Mu were still in the restaurant.
It wasn't until Kang Ruicheng was out of sight that Mu Mu took Xu Youning's hand and asked in a low voice: "Aunt Youning, is Uncle Mu injured?"
Xu Youning did not answer but asked: "Are you worried about Uncle Mu?"
Mu Mu struggled for a moment, made a "little bit" gesture with her fingers, and emphasized: "I'm only a little bit worried!"
He didn't admit that he was worried about the bad uncle, huh!
Xu Youning witnessed Mu Mu's growth throughout, so he could naturally see the little guy's duplicity, and rubbed his head with a smile: "Uncle Dongzi said just now, Uncle Mu's injury is not serious. So, you don't have to worry about him.
He'll be fine soon."
"Well, is it true?" Mu Mu climbed up and stood on the stool, leaned over and said in Xu Youning's ear, "Then don't worry about Uncle Mu!"
Xu Youning was stunned for a moment before she realized that the little guy just wanted to comfort her.
Yesterday, when she heard the news that Musijue was injured, she was really worried and almost exposed her secret in front of Kang Ruicheng.
Fortunately, she had an extraordinary ability to comfort herself. She concealed her worries and ruthlessly told Kang Ruicheng that it was not enough for Mu Sijue to be injured. What she wanted was Mu Sijue's life.
From what happened today, it seems that her acting skills are still excellent.
Otherwise, Kang Ruicheng would not let Dongzi mention Mu Sijue in front of her, and Mu Mu would not have to try to comfort her.
Xu Youning smiled at the little guy and said "Yeah", "I'm not worried anymore."
Mumu slid off the chair, looking quite excited: "Then let's go play games!"
While Xu Youning and Mu Mu were fighting in the game world, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun, who were far away in the apartment in the city center, had just gotten up.
Xiao Yunyun felt like the first time after last night, her waist and back ached, and her whole body was like a rusty machine, almost useless.
The most important thing is that when she opened her eyes, she was still trapped in Shen Yuechuan's arms, and she couldn't move even though she struggled hard.
Since falling ill, he thought that Shen Yuechuan's strength had weakened a lot, but now it seemed that she was still too naive!
Depend on!
Xiao Yunyun held Shen Yuechuan's face with both hands, rubbed it hard a few times, and said angrily: "Stop pretending, I know you are already awake!"
Shen Yuechuan had indeed woken up. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yunyun lazily: "I didn't expect you to wake up so soon!"
Xiao Yunyun knew what Shen Yuechuan meant——
Shen Yuechuan felt that after yesterday's "battle", she would sleep until at least noon today.
Hey, she's not that weak!
Xu Youning punched Shen Yuechuan on the chest: "Get up quickly!"
Others get married and then go on a honeymoon trip.
They are relatively independent and will go back to the hospital after getting married.
However, before returning to the hospital, Xiao Yunyun still has one thing to do.
She must dig up Shen Yuechuan quickly so that she can carry out her top-secret plan.
Shen Yuechuan's hands circled Xiao Yunyun like iron arms, and his voice was lazy: "I don't want to think about it."
Xiao Yunyun thought for a moment and deliberately provoked Shen Yuechuan: "Humph, you don't want to think about it, or you can't get up?"
Shen Yuechuan heard the provocation in Xiao Yunyun's tone. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her with raised eyebrows. There was a lazy threat in his tone: "Yunyun, say it again?"
"You..." Xiao Yunyun still failed to live up to expectations. Faced with Shen Yuechuan's sharp eyes, her confidence suddenly disappeared and she changed her words, "If you don't want to remember... don't get up yet... we can sleep for a while...
"
"I really don't want to get up." Shen Yuechuan slowly pressed down on Xiao Yunyun, "I want to do something else..."
