Mu Nuannuan went downstairs and when passing by the restaurant, she saw Mu Jiachen sitting at the table eagerly without moving his chopsticks.
When he saw Mu Nuannuan coming over, he asked her, "How is cousin?"
"It's okay. I'll bring him food. You eat first." After Mu Nuannuan said that, she went straight into the kitchen.
Mu Nuannuan served the food and just came out of the kitchen with the tray when she saw Mu Tingxiao already sitting at the dining table.
Hearing the movement, he raised his head and glanced at Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan glanced down at the tray in her hand and said, "You're down."
"Yeah." Mu Tingxiao responded lightly, lowered his head and started eating.
Mu Nuannuan put the tray back in her hand and sat down next to Mu Tingxiao.
She glanced at Mu Tingxiao secretly and found that his expression was as usual, nothing wrong could be seen at all, and he was unusually calm.
…
During the entire meal, Mu Tingxiao didn't say a word.
After eating, he got up and went upstairs to his study.
Mu Nuannuan did not bother him but went directly back to the bedroom.
But Mu Tingxiao never came back.
Mu Nuannuan fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.
She subconsciously reached out and touched the place next to her, but found that it was empty.
Mu Tingxiao is still in the study
She sat up, took her phone and checked the time, and found that it was already one o'clock.
Mu Nuannuan put on some clothes, got up and went out of Mu Tingxiao's study.
The study door was unlocked. When she pushed the door in, she smelled a strong smell of smoke. There was no light in the study, and she saw a spark of fire in the darkness of the room.
It was Mu Tingxiao smoking.
Mu Nuannuan did not turn on the light and groped in the darkness. He walked over lightly.
Neither of them could see each other's faces in the darkness, but they could feel each other's breath.
Mu Nuannuan sat down next to him, and the smell of smoke made her cough lightly.
The spark flickered slightly and then went out.
In the darkness, Mu Tingxiao's voice was as hoarse and low as a ghost: "What are you doing here?"
"Come to see you." Mu Nuannuan's voice was soft, and she fumbled to hold his hand.
His palms, which had always been warm, were now frighteningly cold.
Mu Nuannuan held his hand and transferred the warmth of her palm to him bit by bit.
But soon, Mu Tingxiao pulled his hand away.
After a while, his voice sounded again.
"It was in that old abandoned factory that they threatened her with me."
Mu Nuannuan knew that "she" referred to Mu Tingxiao's biological mother.
Very simple words, but they say it all.
Although Mu Tingxiao's previous reaction had already indicated that this matter might be true, Mu Nuannuan was still shocked when she heard Mu Tingxiao's admission.
"Right in front of me." Mu Tingxiao continued: "I was tied up by them, they surrounded her..."
Fifteen years ago, Mu Tingxiao was only eleven years old.
An eleven-year-old child watched his biological mother being raped by a group of men in front of his eyes...
Mu Nuannuan was suddenly startled and stretched out her arms to hug Mu Tingxiao.
"Mu Tingxiao, stop talking."
"Finally, when Mu Qingfeng brought people over..."
Mu Nuannuan interrupted him with a trembling voice: "Mu Tingxiao, I told you to stop talking!"
Mu Tingxiao's voice was too calm, so calm that it scared her.
Mu Tingxiao didn't stop and continued to talk, so Mu Nuannuan went straight to kiss him.
It was so dark that Mu Nuannuan couldn't see his face clearly. She kissed his chin first, and then found their lips.
Mu Tingxiao was initially indifferent, but soon he changed his mind and held her tightly in his arms, so hard that it seemed like he was about to break her waist.
Mu Nuannuan bit his lip not to be outdone. The two seemed to be competing, refusing to give in to each other.
It wasn't until Mu Nuannuan was pushed down on the sofa that she realized what Mu Tingxiao was going to do next, but Mu Tingxiao didn't give her a chance to react.
"Relax."
"You go out first..."
"impossible."
Mu Nuannuan didn't remember when it ended. When she woke up, it was already the next morning.
She was not on the sofa in the study, but on the bed in the bedroom. She was fresh and refreshed. Someone had cleaned her up.
You don't need to look to know that Mu Tingxiao is not in the room, because there is no scent of him in the room.
Mu Tingxiao is such a person with a strong sense of presence.
While washing up in the bathroom, Mu Nuannuan found that her lips were a little swollen and there were speckled marks on her cheeks.
These are the traces left by her and Mu Tingxiao last night.
Mu Nuannuan found a high-collared coat and put it on under her coat, and let her hair down, covering up the visible parts of her body.
If Mu Tingxiao hadn't looked so hopeless last night, she wouldn't have taken the initiative... to deliver it to her door.
You can never indulge Mu Tingxiao like this again.
in the hall.
As soon as Mu Jiachen saw Mu Nuannuan calm down, he jumped up from the sofa: "Sister Nuannuan, you've finally gotten up."
"...What's wrong?" She knew in her heart that Mu Jiachen would not know what she and Mu Tingxiao did last night, but Mu Jiachen's words still made her feel a little guilty.
"When my cousin left, he asked me to wait for you at home. I was planning to go to Cui. You should get up." Mu Jiachen walked up to her with his schoolbag: "I packed breakfast for you, you can eat it in the car. , otherwise you will be late."
When Mu Nuannuan heard him mention Mu Tingxiao, her ears began to feel hot involuntarily, and she said calmly: "Maybe I have a cold, and I woke up a little late."
"No wonder my cousin didn't let me wake you up." Mu Jiachen nodded, convinced.
In the car, Mu Nuannuan asked him, "Is it okay for you to go to school alone today?"
"What's the problem? Tao Bing must have asked for leave if he's injured. Even if he goes to school, I won't be afraid of him. He can't beat me anyway..."
Mu Jiachen noticed that Mu Nuannuan's expression was not friendly, and quickly changed his words: "If he wants to fight with me, I will go find the teacher."
He's not a primary school student, and he still sues the teacher at every turn.
Mu Nuannuan suppressed her laughter and shouted: "Little devil!"
Mu Jiachen curled his lips and snorted with dissatisfaction: "You are older, you are an aunt!"
"Scream again."
"...don't dare."
