Mu Nuannuan wiped the rain off her face, knelt down in front of the tomb with the flowers in her arms, and placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone.
She looked at the tombstone for a while and then said softly: "Mom, I am Nuan Nuan. I have been with Mu Tingxiao for a long time. I am sorry that I only came to see you today."
After she finished speaking, she kowtowed three times in front of the tomb.
Mu Tingxiao watched her kowtow three times, then took off her clothes and put them on her head, pulled her up, and asked her calmly, "How did you get here?"
Mu Nuannuan pointed at Gu Zhiyan, who ran over panting at this moment: "He brought me here."
Mu Tingxiao pulled the coat covering Mu Nuannuan's head forward again. After making sure that the coat could cover the rain and keep her eyes open, he reached out to wipe the rain from her face.
"Nuan Nuan, I seriously doubt how you could run so fast because you were a former physical education student." Gu Zhiyan held an umbrella with one hand and put the other behind his waist.
He walked over and handed the umbrella to Mu Tingxiao. After walking to the tomb and bowing, he turned around and said, "If you come to see Auntie, you can't tell Nuannuan, or she will look for you everywhere."
When Mu Tingxiao heard this, he lowered his head and glanced at Mu Nuannuan.
He held the umbrella over Mu Nuannuan's head, stretched out his hand to pull down the coat covering her head and put it on her body, and gathered the coat for her.
The white shirt Mu Nuannuan wore was very see-through after being soaked by the rain.
When Gu Zhiyan saw this, he quickly said: "If you have told me in advance, I will go down the mountain first."
Gu Zhiyan left in the rain, leaving only Mu Tingxiao and Mu Nuannuan behind.
Only then did Mu Nuannuan have the opportunity to raise her head and look at Mu Tingxiao carefully.
Mu Tingxiao looked no different from usual. Apart from being wet from the rain, there was nothing wrong with him.
Mu Nuannuan thought for a while. When the accident happened, it was in winter, not summer, so today cannot be the memorial day of Mu Tingxiao's mother.
There must be something else that irritated Mu Tingxiao.
He would come here alone.
After a long while, Mu Tingxiao's hoarse voice rang out: "Originally, we planned to bring you and Mu Mu together to see my mother when we brought you back from Sydney, but Mu Mu is missing. I'm afraid she will be sad if she finds out. .”
His tone was low, his eyes were lowered, and there was a depressing and gloomy aura about his whole body.
Mu Nuannuan didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to get into his arms and give him a hug.
Mu Tingxiao put his hand gently on her shoulder, quickly pushed her away, and led her to the tomb. His tone was calm: "Mom, this is my wife, Mu Nuannuan. We also have a daughter, Mu Mu. Bring her to see you later."
It was obviously a very simple and emotionless sentence, but Mu Nuannuan had the urge to cry after hearing it.
She turned her head to the side and wiped her eyes silently.
After Mu Tingxiao finished speaking, he put his arms around Mu Nuannuan's shoulders: "Let's go."
…
After coming down the mountain, Mu Nuannuan called Shiye and told him that Mu Tingxiao had been found to reassure him.
After Mu Nuannuan hung up the phone, she originally wanted to persuade Mu Tingxiao to tell Shiye where to go next time.
However, seeing Mu Tingxiao dozing his eyes and looking very tired, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He still remembered to text her back, which was good enough.
After they returned to the city and separated from Gu Zhiyan, they went directly to Mu Tingxiao's apartment.
Mu Tingxiao went into the bathroom without saying a word to put in the hot water. Mu Nuannuan stood by the bathroom door and looked at him.
Mu Tingxiao seemed to feel something, turned around and saw her, and said: "Come here."
After Mu Nuannuan passed by, he started to take off her clothes.
"I'll do it myself..." Mu Nuannuan quickly reached out and hugged herself.
Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows and said in a serious tone: "It's better for you to take it off yourself than for me to take it off for you faster."
Mu Nuannuan choked on his words.
Mu Tingxiao took this opportunity to help her take off her clothes and threw her into the bathtub.
Mu Nuannuan secretly thought that it was indeed faster than she could take off herself.
Mu Tingxiao himself changed into a bathrobe and went out.
Mu Nuannuan quickly finished her bath, put on her clothes and went out, when she heard movement in the kitchen.
When she entered the kitchen, she saw Mu Tingxiao looking at his phone and putting something into the soup pot.
"What are you cooking?" Mu Nuannuan walked over curiously.
Mu Tingxiao didn't look back and looked at the phone seriously: "Ginger soup."
Mu Nuannuan glanced at her phone and found that he was searching for ginger soup recipes online.
"Go take a hot bath and I'll cook it." She didn't believe Mu Tingxiao could cook this.
Mu Tingxiao grabbed her collar, pulled her back, and said softly: "I'll do it."
Mu Nuannuan: "..."
Mu Tingxiao insisted on this, and Mu Nuannuan had no choice but to watch him cook.
Maybe because he is really smart, even a man who has never cooked before, the ginger soup made according to the method on the Internet tastes very normal.
Mu Nuannuan took a sip and looked up, and saw Mu Tingxiao staring at her and asking, "How do you feel?"
"Not bad." Mu Nuannuan nodded and took another sip.
Mu Tingxiao touched her head: "Drink more, I'll take a shower."
Seeing Mu Tingxiao enter the bathroom, Mu Nuannuan stuck out her tongue and kept fanning her with her hands.
The ginger soup tastes normal, but a bit spicy.
No matter what, it was Mu Tingxiao's wish, so Mu Nuannuan drank a large bowl in the end.
After drinking this big bowl, Mu Nuannuan never wanted to drink ginger soup again in her life.
When Mu Tingxiao came out of the shower, he saw Mu Nuannuan already guarding the bathroom door with a hair dryer.
Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows: "What to do?"
"I'll help you dry your hair." Mu Nuannuan waved the hair dryer in her hand and smiled softly.
Mu Tingxiao refused coldly: "No, you go and rest."
"Ah?" Mu Nuannuan was stunned. She just got caught in the rain. It's not like she hadn't been showered before. How could she be so weak
Mu Nuannuan directly took him to the living room and pressed him on the sofa: "I will blow dry your hair. If you don't dry your hair, you will catch a cold."
Mu Tingxiao did not refuse.
Mu Nuannuan tried the wind with her hands and started to help him dry his hair.
Feeling that Mu Tingxiao had relaxed, she asked him: "Why do you want to go to the cemetery today?"
Mu Tingxiao said leisurely: "To see my mother, do you want to choose an auspicious day?"
Mu Nuannuan choked and said, "No..."
Mu Tingxiao's mouth was as strict as anything. No one could pry his mouth open for things he didn't want to say.
Fortunately, she thought she could break through his psychological defense with her gentle technique.
Oh, she almost forgot, Mu Tingxiao was not an ordinary person to begin with.
Mu Nuannuan thought of the way he stood alone in front of the tomb, and her heart moved slightly. She sighed and said, "I'm just worried about you. Shiye said that you smoked a whole pack of cigarettes in one breath today."
