Raised by Monster Royalty

Chapter 64: Every second counts

Views:

Things at Mu Xingheng's house are actually very simple.

He didn't explain every detail clearly, but just gave Mu Le a general idea.

According to Mu Xingheng, his father originally had a girlfriend, but he encountered a lot of opposition because of their different races. His father couldn't stand the pressure and broke up with his girlfriend. He followed the "racial marriage" arranged by his family and married a wife of the same race with whom he had no feelings.

His wife didn't have much love for him, and the two of them living together were not very happy.

I didn't expect that my father's ex-girlfriend also had a child.

The child grew up safely, and when he was old enough to go to school, he met his younger brother at school.

His younger brother couldn't accept this and made a big fuss, causing unrest for both families.

Mu Le really wanted to ask him: Is that brother you are talking about yourself

Because according to what Mu Xingheng said, his younger brother had a big fight with his half brother... What about him? Did he just stand there and watch

Mu Xingheng had no idea that he had become invisible in the story.

He went on.

His half brother ran away from home because of the fight and didn't return home until more than half a year later. He ended up repeating a grade in school.

His younger brother moved out of the house at that time and has not been home for about ten years.

Later, my father fell seriously ill and probably didn't live long.

He was successful in his field, but his family life was a mess.

Now he has no other wish but to see his two children.

Mu Le: “…”

She felt that Mu Xingheng was talking about himself.

That younger brother is himself, and his half-brother is—

"My... my younger brother." Mu Xingheng said, "He has planned to go home... to see father for the last time."

He paused, then continued, "But my half-brother... no one in our family can contact him."

Mu Le nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Mu Xingheng hesitated: "You have a good relationship with my brother... Can you ask him for me?"

He said it timidly and politely. If Mu Le had been a bit of a good guy in the past, he would have agreed immediately after seeing how embarrassed he was.

However, now that she has gone through countless physics questions for the Imperial College Entrance Examination, the speed of her brain has increased by more than one level!

She reacted immediately and quickly searched for possible people in her mind.

Older than Mu Xingheng, had failed a grade, and had a good relationship with her—

Who else besides Wei Xingchen

Mu Le suddenly understood.

No wonder I always feel that the atmosphere between the two of them seems a little weird. No wonder when everyone was playing together before, Wei Xingchen said he had something to do and had to leave first as soon as he saw Mu Xingheng coming.

No wonder Wei Xingchen ran away from home at the age of five, was picked up by humans, and spent some time with them...

… … No wonder their names look so similar.

Mu Le hesitated for a while, and showed an embarrassment: "He and I... are not what you think..."

She and Wei Xingchen can only be considered as friends who can talk to each other

We would chat occasionally at school and our relationship was pretty good, but after class we had no contact at all...

After all, this is someone else's family affair, and I don't know what Wei Xingchen himself thinks.

Mu Le asked him: "Why don't you try to talk to him yourself?"

"… You guessed who it was, right?" Mu Xingheng touched his ear hairs embarrassedly, "He blocked everyone in our family and didn't want to talk to me."

Mu Le: “…”

Too cruel.

Should we say that he is worthy of being Wei Xingchen

Mu Le thought of his appearance and felt that what Mu Xingheng said was very understandable.

"I also know that this request is not very good." Mu Xingheng said, "I am sorry if it bothers you. But I really have no other choice... You know."

He lowered his head, looking particularly lost. "He is my father after all. This was his last wish before he died. I have no other choice..."

If possible, Mu Xingheng didn't want these things to happen.

Who doesn’t want to have a loving pair of parents and a happy family

Mu Le didn't know what to say, so he just comforted him with a few words.

They were communicating when Gu Mingyuan suddenly came back.

Mu Le was stunned when he heard the noise, and looked at the time. He didn't expect that it was already time for dinner so soon.

It’s good to live close to school so that I can go home for lunch.

Mu Le jumped off the sofa in a hurry and said to Mu Xingheng: "It's really inconvenient for me to get involved in this kind of thing... But I will help you think of a solution, and you should think about it yourself, live..."

She then wanted to say, "Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?"

After thinking about it, she realized that Gu Mingyuan was right next to her, so she forced herself to hold back the words.

"… There are always more solutions than problems!" Mu Le changed his expression to a gentler one, "I have to eat lunch, let's talk about it at school tomorrow."

Mu Xingheng nodded and smiled apologetically: "Well, okay. Sorry to waste so much of your time..."

Mu Le waved his hands quickly: "No. I'm sorry I can't help you."

The two children exchanged a few polite words.

This polite way of speaking made Mu Le feel as if he had come to a country that produces a lot of light novels. After all, they always gave people the illusion that they would bow to each other until their lumbar discs prolapsed when they said goodbye...

She finally hung up the phone and turned to throw herself into Gu Mingyuan's arms: "Yuanyuan! Welcome home!"

…Okay, I have really been assimilated.

Even the standard line "Welcome home" was said.

Gu Mingyuan didn't mind her enthusiasm at all.

She threw herself into his arms, and he lifted her up by her legs, holding her in his arms, and kissed her on the face naturally and intimately.

Mu Le: “… … !!!!”

I died. I died madly.

Died ten thousand times on the spot.

Seeing her suddenly empty-headed look, Gu Mingyuan couldn't help but pursed his lips and whispered, "Are you bored at home alone?"

"Not bad!" Mu Le said, "My classmate told me something for a long time."

Gu Mingyuan hugged her and sat on the sofa, and asked casually: "What's the matter?"

He helped Mu Le sit down, and after she sat down, he pulled away the arm that was supporting her.

Mu Le sat on the sofa all of a sudden.

She sat sideways with both legs on Gu Mingyuan's thighs. Before she had time to struggle, Gu Mingyuan's hands had already wrapped around her shoulders.

The other hand also held her legs, making it impossible for her to get off the sofa.

Mu Le looked at him with a red face.

She felt like a guitar being held in Gu Mingyuan's arms.

Gu Mingyuan lowered his eyes to look at her furry socks and said, "You're not wearing shoes again."

Mu Le: “…”

In fact, the shoes were a little too small, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

Now looking back at those little shoes I used to wear, they were so cute.

She felt very sorry and preferred her original smaller self.

But she was afraid that Gu Mingyuan also liked her younger self more, so she didn't like to mention it usually, for fear that if she did, Gu Mingyuan would recall her good old days.

Anyway, she is unreasonable when she is jealous, so I have to be a little jealous too.

Gu Mingyuan looked at her patiently: "Hmm?"

Mu Le then reacted, remembering the last question he had just asked, cleared his throat, and answered: "It's his family matter, he wanted me to help... but I refused."

Mu Le said: "Speaking of which..."

She seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Gu Mingyuan: "I seem to be growing slower recently."

Gu Mingyuan: "... hm?"

He was still thinking about the last thing she said, and he didn't expect Mu Le to change the subject so quickly.

Mu Le leaned on his shoulder and curled the ends of her hair with her fingers: "My hair used to grow pretty fast too - although not as scary as my body's growth, it would still grow visibly every day."

Gu Mingyuan nodded: "Yeah. You probably stabilized since the day before yesterday."

Mu Le was surprised and asked: "Have you discovered it before?"

"... Yeah." Gu Mingyuan decided to tell her the truth, "I bought all your new clothes."

Mu Le: “…”

Gu Mingyuan: "I also signed for the underwear. The housekeeper sent the record to me after packing it up. I only remembered this matter after receiving the record."

Mu Le: “… … … …”

"Your slippers are too small." Gu Mingyuan said, "Now that things are stable, I bought a few more pairs for replacement. They are in the shoe cabinet. Do you see them?"

Mu Le: “… No, no.”

Gu Mingyuan touched her head and turned on the computer to show her: "There are records. Check which one you like."

Mu Le wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

When I was a kid, I thought it was nothing if I paid a little attention to it, but when I grew up, the slightest contact would make me explode with embarrassment...

Mu Le covered her face and secretly looked at him through her fingers: "I'm so shy."

Gu Mingyuan smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently pulled her wrist in front of him.

He took her hand instead, put it to his lips and kissed her fingers, then asked, "Why are you shy?"

Mu Le: “…”

I always feel that after we talked about love last time, Gu Mingyuan entered the love mode.

This is too tempting, who can resist it

Mu Le's feet tapped back and forth restlessly.

Gu Mingyuan moved the screen for her to see. Mu Le covered her face with one hand and used the other hand that had been kissed to randomly select something on the screen.

The butler robot quickly brought the slippers over.

I don’t know if it was because the robot sensed that the atmosphere between them was just right, but it was very far away, and its mechanical arm quietly stretched out along the ground and silently placed the slippers on the ground next to the sofa.

Then he quickly fled the dog-killing scene.

Gu Mingyuan ordered food with Mu Le in this posture.

The meal was eaten in the restaurant, and Mu Le was still sitting on the chair.

At this time, she was very glad that Gu Mingyuan was in love mode. If he was in father mode, he might even hug her and feed her with a small spoon.

That would be too stupid. She was afraid that she would spit the food on Gu Mingyuan's face.

The next day was Monday again.

Mu Le spent most of his weekend having fun, and became busy again on Monday, doing one problem after another after class.

She plans to go to the club at noon.

But today, Erte is going home, leaving only Mu Le and Xiang Fei.

Maybe Xiang Fei is just too beautiful now... When Mu Le was with him, he actually met someone who came to confess his love to him.

Or two more came in a row.

They are all lovely girls.

Xiang Fei's face turned red, and she was at a loss as to what to do to refuse the other person. Her head almost dropped to her feet when she apologized.

When it was time to eat, Xiang Fei's face was still blushing, and her adorable face made me feel pity for her.

Mu Le smiled and said, "Fei Fei, do you have a girl you like?"

Xiang Fei lowered her head and whispered, "No, no. I... I think... it's too early."

Mu Le nodded.

Although she usually treated Xiang Fei as a good friend, she couldn't help but feel a bit like an elder when she asked this question.

After all, although Xiang Fei is thoughtful and the things in his head are definitely not understandable to his peers... But, he is still a child.

If he hadn't skipped a grade, he would have just been in the first grade.

"It's still too early." Mu Le thought for a while and said, "Students must focus on studying."

Xiang Fei: “… ?”

Mu Le thought of the questions he was doing, and a determined light shone in his eyes, "College Entrance Examination, every second counts!"

Xiang Fei: “…”

At noon, Mu Le went to the Ancient Research Society to practice questions with Gu Mingzhou.

Gu Mingzhou was so tired that he couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "You are strong, I give up. I need a nap - or a research report to rest."

Mu Le: “…”

Look how the child was forced to go and make a report to "rest".

Although Gu Mingzhou is a dragon with very strong physical strength, he can hardly keep up with Mu Le's learning pace.

Mu Le touched his head and decided to give himself a ten-minute break and go to the vending machine to buy a yogurt to drink.

There are two vending machines on each floor of the Study Abroad Building, right at the end of the corridor near the windows.

There are transparent guardrails inside and outside the windows, and there are uniform silver benches underneath. After buying something, you can sit here and enjoy the weather and the breeze.

Mu Le went to buy a box of yogurt, opened it, and drank it slowly while sitting on a bench.

While drinking, she recalled the physics problem she had just solved. Suddenly, she thought of Gu Mingzhou who was tortured by the problem. Somehow, she thought of what she had said to Xiang Fei during the meal.

In fact, these children don’t have to study so hard and can live a happy life.

What she said was exactly what I had always disliked, and what the exam-oriented education system loved to teach.

Every word and sentence was what she had heard from her hated teacher.

Mu Le: “…”

Is it true that “when you grow up you will become the person you hate”

Mu Le was holding the yogurt and thinking about something.

Suddenly, a big furry tail passed by in front of me.

Mu Le: “… !!”

She looked up and saw Wei Xingchen standing beside her, holding something that looked like a can in his hand.

It looks very much like a can, but it is different from the cans on Earth. It is made of environmentally friendly materials.

It probably contains soda...

Mu Le, who was raised by a very health-conscious dragon, had never drunk this kind of thing, and there was a hint of curiosity and envy in his eyes.

Wei Xingchen laughed and shook the soda in front of her: "Would you like a drink?"

Mu Le: “…”

She shook the yogurt in her hand at Wei Xingchen: "Thank you, I got it."

Wei Xingchen sneered: "Good boy. Your parents don't allow you to drink?"

Mu Le shook his head: "That's not the case..."

But he definitely wouldn't let me drink what you've drunk.

Mu Le said nothing more.

Wei Xingchen sat down beside her, stretched out his legs, and said lazily: "Has our squad leader looked for you?"

Mu Le: “…!”

The author has something to say: Mu Le: I suspect they all read the script behind my back.

Wei Xingchen: I guess you still need to read the script

Mule: …

Thank you for your concern, babies!

I've been drinking more hot water and getting more sleep!

But in the end, I still want to drink milk tea and eat barbecue, hot pot, fried chicken, grilled fish, etc.
