"Are you basking in the sun?" Yu Chu asked casually.

Zhou Mu also replied naturally: "Go to the balcony and smoke a cigarette."

"Ok."

Zhou Mu stopped in front of Yu Chu, with a faint smell of tobacco on his body. Yu Chu pushed aside the changed leather shoes and was about to walk into the house, but Zhou Mu stood in front of him and did not let go.

"What?" Yu Chu asked blankly.

Zhou Mu didn't speak, but slowly folded his arms around his chest, looking down at him condescendingly.

Yu Chu laughed and said, "What are you doing? You're nagging me, why are you blocking me? Get out of the way, I'm going to the toilet."

Whether it's the look or the tone, it's all natural.

Zhou Mu still didn't move, but when Yu Chu looked at him suspiciously, he suddenly lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Second Young Master, do you know what I found?"

His voice was very mellow, with warm breathing, like velvet brushing Yu Chu's ears, causing his heart to beat suddenly, and he asked mechanically, "What did you find?"

Zhou Mu moved away from his ear, looked at his face still very close, and said, "Every time you cover up something, your attitude towards me is abnormal."

"What the hell are you talking about? Is there something wrong with me?" Yu Chu's face became more bewildered.

"From the moment I blocked your way, you should push me away unceremoniously, and give me two supercilious eyes." Zhou Mu suddenly laughed, showing a row of white teeth, and he took a step back to get out of the way , "I hope you can always maintain this gentleness, and don't expose your nature."

Yu Chuguo really rolled her eyes, brushed past him, and muttered, "It's really boring."

His eyes glanced in the direction of the balcony inadvertently, and he suddenly saw the passage from the living room to the balcony. Because there was no carpet, there were a few clear leather shoe prints on the light brown wooden floor.

The size of the shoe prints is clearly what he left behind just now, and it is impossible to frame Zhou Mu.

Yu Chu's movements froze for a moment, then he let out a long sigh, and the bewilderment on his face dissipated instantly. He walked lazily to the sofa and sat down, crossing one leg and putting his elbow on the armrest. Although it is a casual posture, there is an indescribable coquettishness about it.

He squinted at Zhou Mu: "What are you still standing for? Come and sit."

Zhou Mu walked over unhurriedly and sat on the single sofa opposite him.

"By the way, let's make a cup of tea first." Yu Chu raised his round and delicate chin, and motioned to the entrance, "Too many monkeys, have you ever drank?"

"Huh?" Zhou Mu was really at a loss this time.

"The tea leaves Yu Shiqing gave should be of good quality. What kind of monkeys are they called?"

Zhou Mu thought for a while, and tentatively asked, "Taiping Houkui?"

"Yes, that's it. You go make two cups first."

Zhou Mu went to get the tea box, opened the outer seal, went to get two water cups, grabbed a handful of tea leaves each, and took them to the water dispenser to get water.

The whole set of movements looked very stable, without any panic or anxiety.

Yu Chu stared at his back, thinking that this man had already realized that he heard him calling, but he still looked as if nothing had happened, and his psychological quality was really good. At that time, I must seize the opportunity, control the right to speak, and insist on forcing him to show his feet and confess his true identity and purpose.

If Yu Chu was still skeptical of Zhou Mu's words last night, such as opening a restaurant, injuring a customer and escaping, then he doesn't believe it at all now.

Zhou Mu made two cups of tea and brought them over. He used an ordinary transparent water cup, and he could see the green tea leaves rising and falling in the cup, and he felt a refreshing fragrance before he drank it.

Yu Chu has adjusted her sitting posture, and no longer leans lazily on the back of the chair. He separated his legs slightly, put his hands on his knees, and leaned his upper body forward slightly, in order to exert pressure on the opponent invisibly.

But Zhou Mu put down the teacup without noticing it, sat down on the sofa opposite him, and played comfortably.

"Is that your son or your daughter?" Yu Chu asked suddenly.

He put his hands on his knees, lowered his head slightly, and looked sharply at Zhou Mu from under his eyebrows.

Zhou Mu sat leaning back very awkwardly, with his arms resting on the back of the sofa chair, with a bit of gangster air. Hearing Yu Chu's question, he didn't show any surprise on his face, he just narrowed his eyes lazily, and said with a half-smile: "It's not my son or my daughter."

"Tell me the truth, otherwise I have countless ways to make you disappear from this world." Yu Chu squeezed out a cold sentence from between his teeth.

The expression on Zhou Mu's face seemed to be more cheerful, he stared at Yu Chu and smiled: "Second Young Master, you really hold grudges."

Not long ago, when Yu Chu wanted to leave the island secretly, he caught him, choked his neck and rubbed against a tree, and said this sentence, and now Yu Chu returned it intact.

"Tell me, who are you? Why did you hide your identity from Yu Shiqing?" Yu Chu's eyes flickered coldly.

Since Zhou Mu never mentioned that he had a child and a family, Yu Chu believed it, so Yu Shiqing didn't know the news either.

Zhou Mu watched him try his best to put on a vicious look with his white and tender baby face, and couldn't help being dazed for a while, the corners of his mouth hooked up, revealing a very shallow smile.

Yu Chu asked viciously, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Mu said: "There is a wild cat near my house. It has a round head and a round head. I often feed it."

Yu Chu was stunned, resisting the desire to growl, wrong teeth: "Can you stop always changing the subject when you are talking about business?"

"Although the wild cat looks cute, it thinks it's very fierce. Every time someone approaches it, it will show its teeth and meow."

Yu Chu lowered his face and looked at Zhou Mu with a gloomy look, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold arc.

After Zhou Mu and him looked at each other for two seconds, he suddenly turned his head and looked away, put his fist against his lips and coughed lightly twice. When he turned around again, his normal expression had returned to his face.

"Okay, tell me." He said seriously.

Yu Chu's already typed belly draft was disrupted by him suddenly, and he felt a little irritated. He suppressed his emotions, stopped putting on a vicious look, and asked in an unfathomable tone: "Who were you talking to just now?"

"My nephew is five years old and is still in kindergarten."

"Your nephew?"

"My sister's son."

"Didn't you say your sister died?" Yu Chu asked.

Zhou Mu replied: "My nephew was more than two months old when she passed away." After speaking, he compared the length with his hands, "It's just such a small ball."

Yu Chu couldn't help asking curiously: "Then your brother-in-law raised him alone?"

Zhou Mu said calmly: "My brother-in-law and my sister died together in a car accident. Neither of them survived, leaving only the child."

Yu Chu didn't expect such an answer, and was at a loss for words.

"That's right, I raised him." Zhou Mu said again.

Yu Chu was a little dazed, stared at Zhou Mu for a long time before looking away, and murmured: "Then you..."

"So I won't study anymore because I have to raise a child." Zhou Mu shrugged indifferently.

"You're here, but what about your nephew? What about him?"

Zhou Mu leaned against the back of the chair, pressed his fingers on the bridge of his straight nose, and his voice was rarely lonely: "There is no way, I want to earn money to support him, so I can only foster him in an acquaintance's house."

Yu Chu didn't know what he thought of, so he remained silent, and reached out to fetch the teacup on the coffee table after a while, but it was empty.

Zhou Mu changed the position of the teacup and said, "It's hot, wait a minute."

Yu Chu looked at the hand with sharp joints, and suddenly his mind jolted, and he woke up.

"Why did you hide this from Yu Shiqing?" There was a gleam in his eyes.

"Because I'm afraid that something will happen to my nephew in the future."

"Then why can't Yu Shiqing investigate this matter?"

"Because I was too busy to open a restaurant. At that time, the child was fostered by an acquaintance. The neighbors around didn't know about it, and neither did the person Yu Shiqing sent to investigate. Besides, I didn't want to expose my nephew, let alone Impossible to take the initiative to tell him."

When Zhou Mu said this, he sat up straight suddenly, and looked at Yu Chu seriously: "My own safety doesn't matter, but I can't let my nephew take any risk, so please keep it a secret for me."

His eyes were very focused, and Yu Chu saw himself in those dark pupils. He snorted coldly with a straight face: "What if I don't agree?"

Zhou Mu's upper body leaned forward slightly: "I know you will agree."

"Are you so confident? Why didn't I know that I would definitely agree?" Yu Chu twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly.

I'm not a good person, he said in his heart.

Zhou Mu said meaningfully: "Because if you don't agree, I will make you shut up forever."

Yu Chu: ...

Zhou Mu ignored his murderous eyes, stood up as if nothing had happened, went to fetch the kettle he usually used, poured the two cups of freshly brewed Taiping Houkui into it, and said, "Let's go, the weather is fine today , let's go out to let the wind go, I will bring too many monkeys, drink when you are thirsty."

Yu Chu stared at him without moving, he went to the door to change his shoes, turned around and hooked his fingers at Yu Chu who was sitting on the sofa, and called out: "Mimi."
