After he sat down, he saw Mu Nuannuan staring at him. He was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything, so he lowered his head to eat.
Mu Nuannuan stared at him silently, and took a long time to pick up the chopsticks.
During the meal, she kept observing Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao seemed unaware, eating his food calmly without raising his eyes to look at her.
It wasn't until he finished eating that he made any move.
He stood up and said calmly: "I'll go back first and come to pick up Mumu tomorrow."
Mu Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
He turned to look at Mu Mu again: "Mu Mu, I'm leaving."
Mu Mu was still struggling with the last chicken leg. When she heard Mu Tingxiao calling her, she didn't even look at him and just said vaguely: "Bye!"
Mu Tingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and went out.
After he left, Mu Nuannuan sat at the dining table and thought for a moment, until Mu Mu came over and pulled her over: "Mom, can I watch cartoons?"
Mu Mu spoke very clearly now.
This reminded Mu Nuannuan that when she first met Mu Mu, although she spoke very clearly, she said very little.
Children still need an adult to chat with them, and they will learn to speak faster.
"Okay." Mu Nuannuan stood up and led her to the edge of the sofa to sit down.
She helped Mu Mu turn on the TV: "I'm going to wash the dishes. You can watch it for a while. After I finish washing the dishes, I'll help you take a bath and go to bed."
"Yeah." Mu Mu's attention had long been drawn away by the cartoon, and his eyes were already glued to the TV.
Mu Nuannuan touched her head and went to the kitchen.
By the time she finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out, Mu Mu had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Usually at this time, Mu Mu is already sleeping, and she should be sleepy long ago.
Mu Nuannuan carried her back to the room, helped her take off her clothes, wiped her face, and let her continue to sleep.
…
The next day.
Mu Nuannuan got up and cooked porridge and steamed sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes were brought back from my uncle. They are not big in size and have smooth skin. They are not an option for breakfast.
After steaming the sweet potatoes in the pot, Mu Nuannuan went downstairs to buy steamed buns.
There are not many ingredients at home, so I can only make up for breakfast with porridge and steamed buns.
When she left the unit building, she saw a familiar car parked in the parking space.
Mu Nuannuan walked closer and confirmed that the license plate number belonged to Mu Tingxiao.
The next moment, Mu Tingxiao opened the car door and got out.
He got out of the driver's seat, indicating that he drove here himself.
When he left yesterday, he said he would pick up Mu Mu today. Mu Nuannuan thought he meant to pick him up at night, but she didn't expect him to come so early.
Mu Tingxiao obviously saw her, locked the car and strode towards her.
"where did you go?"
"Go buy steamed buns." Mu Nuannuan pointed to the door of the community.
Then, she asked: "Why are you here so early?"
Mu Tingxiao held the car keys in his hand, lowered his eyes and said, "I didn't eat breakfast either."
"Ah?" You came here without breakfast. Are you so anxious
Mu Tingxiao ignored the stunned look on Mu Nuannuan's face and walked out of the community: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Mu Nuannuan followed, but was confused by Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao turned around and frowned slightly: "Don't you want to buy steamed buns?"
It turned out that he just said he didn't have breakfast because he wanted to buy steamed buns with her.
Mu Nuannuan took two steps forward and felt something was wrong again.
Now, would Mu Tingxiao be willing to eat buns from a bun shop that cost one yuan each
Since yesterday, she had felt that Mu Tingxiao was acting weird, but now it seemed that it was not her imagination.
She stared at Mu Tingxiao's back and slowed down.
The bun shop is right outside the community gate, and people are already queuing up.
Mu Tingxiao stood there tall and conspicuous.
He stared at the menu posted on the wall for a while, then joined the queue.
Mu Tingxiao queuing up to buy steamed buns is really rare.
When Mu Nuannuan walked over, it happened to be Mu Tingxiao's turn.
The boss didn't know if he recognized Mu Tingxiao, but his voice sounded a little frightened: "Sir, what kind of buns do you want?"
Mu Tingxiao said in an indifferent tone: "Two of each."
The boss was stunned for a moment: "How many of you can eat?"
This steamed bun shop is more than ten years old and has more than a dozen flavors of steamed buns.
Mu Nuannuan hurriedly walked over: "Sorry, he was joking, two shaomai, two meat buns, a cabbage and a mushroom..."
After Mu Nuannuan said what she and Mu Mu wanted to eat, she turned to ask Mu Tingxiao: "Which flavor do you want to eat?"
Mu Tingxiao looked calm: "Anything is fine."
After hearing this, Mu Nuannuan made a decision for Mu Tingxiao: "Then add two more meat buns, one with cabbage and one with mushrooms."
When the boss packed the buns and handed them over, Mu Nuannuan was about to reach out to take them when she realized that Mu Tingxiao had already reached out to take the buns before her.
Mu Nuannuan looked at him in surprise, and he said lightly: "A little hungry."
"...Oh." Mu Nuannuan didn't quite believe what he said.
Remembering that Mu Mu was still sleeping alone at home, Mu Nuannuan walked a little fast when she went back.
She walked in front, and Mu Tingxiao walked behind her holding the bun.
In the elevator, Mu Nuannuan looked at the figures of the two people reflected on the elevator wall, and thought in a daze, it was really like the scene where a couple would go for a walk on weekend mornings and then buy buns for breakfast.
But unfortunately, this is not the case between her and Mu Tingxiao now.
When Mu Nuannuan opened the door and went in, Mu Mu had already gotten up and was standing at the door of the kitchen holding the little tiger, calling her mother.
When Mu Mu lived with her in the past, when Mu Mu got up in the morning, Mu Nuannuan would usually be in the kitchen making breakfast, so Mu Mu would habitually go to the kitchen to find her.
"Mumu woke up." Mu Nuannuan hurriedly changed her shoes: "I just went out to buy steamed buns. Let's wash our faces and brush our teeth now, and then we can have breakfast."
"Okay." Mu Mu rubbed his eyes and obediently stretched out his hand for Mu Nuannuan to hug.
When Mu Nuannuan helped Mu Mu wash her face and brush her teeth and came out, she found that Mu Tingxiao had already taken out the buns and divided them into plates and packed them.
She didn't say anything, just carried Mu Mu into a chair and sat down.
Mu Mu stretched out his hand and was eager to try it: "Wow! What a big bun."
Mu Nuannuan had just washed Mu Mu's hands, so she ignored her and let her grab it with her hands.
She rolled up her sleeves for Mu Mu, then turned to the kitchen to serve porridge and sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are small, sweet and waxy, and Mu Mu likes to eat them.
But Mu Nuannuan was afraid that she would not be able to digest well, so she only allowed her to eat two small ones.
"Don't you want to try it? My uncle brought it back." Mu Nuannuan looked at Mu Tingxiao, then took a sweet potato and handed it to Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao did not refuse and reached out to take it.
Mu Nuannuan narrowed her eyes and stared at him, still not sure what she was thinking.
