Kang Ruicheng is not a curious person. He is not even curious about many things.
Mu Mu had no objection to them staying here for a long time. He was more surprised, but he didn't intend to ask why.
In his opinion, since Mu Mu had no objection, there was no need to ask further.
However, when Mu Mu took the initiative to mention it, he seemed... a little curious as to why.
"Daddy, you don't need to answer." Mu Mu looked at Kang Ruicheng with a pair of pure and harmless eyes, and said with a smile, "Your eyes have already told me the answer - you really want to know."
Want it very much?
not at all.
Just as Kang Ruicheng was about to deny it, Mu Mu continued:
"Because you are here, I am willing to stay here!"
The sincere and direct words were spoken without any cover-up. Mumu's true inner emotions at this moment were also revealed without reservation.
This was Kang Ruicheng's first time facing such direct feelings.
From the time he was born until he grew up, the word "love" seemed to have chosen to stay away from his life. He had never met love, let alone felt it.
After meeting Xu Youning, he knew that Xu Youning had a crush on him. But Xu Youning was a very measured person and understood the disparity between them. Therefore, she never said anything or made any overstep.
Indeed, Kang Ruicheng has never felt any love or dependence.
To this day, Mumu told him that because he was here, he was willing to stay here.
Many years ago, before he met Mu Sijue, the most sincere words Xu Youning said to Kang Ruicheng were just "I am willing to follow you" - it was difficult for people to make any associations or misunderstandings.
However, Mumu is different.
He just looked into Kang Ruicheng's eyes and said that he was willing to stay with Kang Ruicheng. As for where they stayed, it was the same to him and it didn't matter to him at all.
All he wants is to stay with his father.
Suddenly, Kang Ruicheng felt a strange feeling in his heart. It was similar to itch, but slightly softer than itch.
Kang Ruicheng looked at Mu Mu - the little guy still looked that natural and harmless, and his eyes seemed to contain the purest beauty in the world.
Kang Ruicheng suddenly felt that maybe he really should live alone with Mumu for a while.
It wasn't because Dongzi said he wanted to develop a normal father-son relationship with Mumu. It was because he wanted to find out the original nature of life from Mumu.
"I understand. As long as you are willing..." Kang Ruicheng motioned for Mumu to sit over, "There is one more thing I want to discuss with you."
Mu Mu blinked: "Discuss?"
Obviously, he was more curious about Kang Ruicheng's choice of words. He didn't even care what Kang Ruicheng wanted to discuss with him.
You know, since he was a child, most of what he received from Kangruicheng were orders.
The word "discuss" was rarely uttered from Kang Ruicheng's mouth.
In their minds, Kang Ruicheng is the one who controls everything. He does not need to discuss anything with others, he only needs to tell others his decision.
Therefore, when Kang Ruicheng said that he wanted to discuss something with him, Mu Mu focused all his attention on the word "discuss".
Of course, Kang Ruicheng noticed Mu Mu's surprise, and reluctantly repeated it again: "Yes, let's discuss. I said, I won't force you to do anything, you have full right to choose."
"Okay~" Mu Mu smiled, crossed her legs in a serious manner, and said, "Then let's discuss it."
Kang Ruicheng organized his words and finally said concisely: "Mumu, you don't need to learn many things. However, I hope you learn the most basic self-defense skills."
Mu Mu understood the "self-defense technique", made two gestures with her immature hands in the air, and said, "Learn how to fight with others?"
Kang Ruicheng was honest: "You can say that."
Mu Mu frowned and said with some annoyance: "But I won't fight with others! Our teacher said that we must be friendly!"
"However, you can't guarantee that everyone is as friendly as you." Kang Ruicheng looked at Mu Mu seriously and said word by word, "You can guarantee that you are friendly and will not take the initiative to provoke others, but you cannot guarantee that others will not.
Come to provoke you."
Mu Mu seemed to understand, and spread her hands: "So -?"
"So, I hope you learn the most basic self-defense skills and have the ability to protect yourself." Kang Ruicheng did not forget to emphasize, "Of course, the final decision lies in your hands."
"oh……"
Mu Mu held her chin, lost in thought.
Kang Ruicheng thought for a while and then "reminded" Mu Mu: "I want you to learn self-defense, not just to help you learn to protect yourself. In the future, you can also protect the people you love."
Mumu's eyes, originally full of hesitation, suddenly lit up.
Obviously, he has no interest in self-defense. But since self-defense can protect the people he loves, he is very interested.
This time, Mu Mu did not hesitate and nodded decisively in agreement.
Kang Ruicheng was not surprised at all.
It's not that he doesn't understand Mumu at all.
It would be easy for him to seize this boy's fate.
Mu Mu's attitude changed 180 degrees and became extremely positive. She asked, "Daddy, when will I start learning?"
"It can start within a few days." Kang Ruicheng said, "Which specific day can you choose?"
"Okay." Mu Mu asked without hesitation, "Is it okay tomorrow?"
"Of course." Kang Ruicheng looked at the little guy unexpectedly, "But are you sure you want to start so soon? You won't play for a few more days?"
"I'm not going to play anymore, I want to start right away!" Mu Mu nodded with a sure look on her face, looked outside and said, "I would rather start today~ But it's already dark."
"..."
Kang Ruicheng stopped talking.
He was thinking, who did Mu Mu inherit her execution ability from?
"Daddy," Mu Mu asked again, "who will be my teacher?"
"Dongzi and I," Kang Ruicheng said, "as long as we stay here, we will be responsible for teaching you. After we leave, we will hire more professional teachers for you."
Mu Mu didn't know what exactly Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi did. But he was very sure that both Kangruicheng and Dongzi were very powerful people.
Of course Mu Mu was happy to have a powerful person become her teacher, and she nodded and agreed with a smile.
That night, Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi formulated a training plan. According to the plan, they would start training Mumu tomorrow.
When the plan was made, Mumu was already asleep upstairs and had no idea what she was going to face next.
Because his daughter was still young, Dongzi was always soft-hearted towards the child and could not make plans that were too cruel. Instead, he thought about how to make Mumu's training easier.
Kangruicheng had no worries at all, and held Mumu to the highest standards in everything.
Just seeing Kang Ruicheng's plan, Dongzi felt tired for Mu Mu and had to remind Kang Ruicheng: "Brother Cheng, Mu Mu is still a child. Besides, you don't plan to let him inherit your business. We seem...
…There’s no need to train Mumu like this, right?”
"Even if he doesn't inherit my career, he will still be my son - this is a fact that can never be changed. As long as he has a relationship with me, he will become a target of others. Our opponents will not think of it when they take advantage of him.
He's just a kid."
Kang Ruicheng's face was expressionless and his tone was tough. It was obvious that he had no intention of changing the plan.
Dongzi fell into silence.
Although Kang Ruicheng's words were impersonal, they were naked facts.
Now, the more they feel sorry for and indulge Mu Mu, the greater the chance that Mu Mu will be harmed in the future.
They are now desperately training Mu Mu, just to give him the ability to turn danger into safety when he faces danger in the future.
If Mumu is in danger, of course they will rescue her.
However, their rescue may not always be timely.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, they found that they still had to be harsher on Mu Mu.
Dongzi sighed and said, "Brother Cheng, then follow your plan."
Kang Ruicheng said "hmm" and signaled to Dongzi: "It's getting late, you go and have a rest first."
"good."
Dongzi got up and went back to the room.
In fact, it's only after nine o'clock. In China, this time is not considered late for them, or even the beginning of nightlife.
However, since arriving here, as soon as it gets dark, the surrounding area becomes dark and lifeless, making people have no desire to step out.
The night just became longer, and after nine o'clock it naturally became "very late".
After Dongzi went upstairs, Kang Ruicheng was the only one left in the living room again.
Kang Ruicheng looked at the plan he had made.
Of course he knew that this was almost cruel to a five-year-old child.
However, if he is not cruel to Mu Mu, someone will be more cruel to Mu Mu for him in the future.
He only hoped that with the belief that he could protect the people he loved, Mumu could grit his teeth and survive the most arduous training.
As long as he gets through it, nothing can threaten Mumu in the future.
Kang Ruicheng no longer intends to force Mumu to inherit everything from him. However, he must ensure that Mumu has the ability to survive independently.
Perhaps, this is the best gift he, as a father, can give to his son.
"Wow!"
While Kang Ruicheng was deep in thought, Mu Mu's screams suddenly came from upstairs, followed by a heartbreaking cry.
Kang Ruicheng felt as if there was a "bang" in his head. When he reacted, others had already rushed upstairs and arrived in front of Mumu's room door.
Mumu's cries became clearer and penetrated directly into Kangruicheng's heart through the door panel.
Kang Ruicheng opened the door without hesitation and went in. He saw Mumu sitting on the bed with tears on her face and her black pupils full of helplessness.
He asked directly: "What's wrong?"
Mu Mu looked at Kang Ruicheng, cried louder, and said with choked sobs: "Daddy, come here."
Kang Ruicheng walked over, sat down by Mumu's bed, and turned on the largest light in the room.
It is very difficult to provide power in mountainous areas. The largest lamp only has a brightness of a few watts, which can barely illuminate the room.
After the lights were turned on, Mu Mu's crying still showed no signs of subduing. Instead, she threw herself into Kang Ruicheng's arms and hugged Kang Ruicheng tightly...
