C46

Because he had something on his mind, Xia Mu was distracted the whole morning. He had either found the wrong money or his arm was burnt by the hot oil.

The weather became warmer and warmer. Around ten in the morning, the sun shone through the trees on the roadside and sprinkled onto the streets.

Once again, she looked towards the intersection. She hoped that she could see that familiar figure. However, the bustling streets were filled with people and cars, but none of them were as familiar as the one she was familiar with.

Unknowingly, a sigh escaped from his mouth as Xia Mu sat blankly on a small stool.

Until a voice interrupted her:

"Xia Mu, why aren't you ready yet?" On the next stall, Zhang Xiulan placed the bucket on the rack and shouted towards Xia Mu's stall.

Xia Mu snapped out of his daze, looked at Zhang Xiulan and gave a slight smile. "Aunt, why don't you go back first?" As he spoke, he stood up from the stool and began to pack his things.

"Alright, I have something else to do today. Hurry up and pack it up as well so you can go back. It's getting hotter and hotter in the sky."

"Yes." Xia Mu replied as his hand movements sped up.

After everything had been tidied up, Xia Mu glanced at the intersection once more, his eyes filled with disappointment. The person he wanted to see had still yet to appear.

Forget it, perhaps that person was just doing it on a whim. How could he possibly come over to eat everyday if the food on the street was not on the high side?

Or perhaps, to that person, meeting him was just a chance encounter in his life, and it did not mean much to him.

Inside Xia Mu's heart, there was a constant struggle as all sorts of thoughts surged forth. She continuously used all sorts of reasons to convince herself to let go of that person's unrealistic thoughts.

Forget it, Xia Mu, let's go home and stop daydreaming.

After making up his mind, Xia Mu pushed the cart towards home.

"The sun shines in the sky, flowers smile at me …" The trolley had just pulled up in front of the courtyard when a cheerful nursery rhyme sounded. Xia Mu took out his cell phone from his pocket and answered.

"Little Mo Er …" A clear and melodious voice, with a slightly raised ending tone, permeated the air through Xia Mu's mobile phone.

Xia Mu put the broken hair beside his ear behind his ear and shouted into his phone, "Big brother …"

A laugh could be heard from the other end of the phone, "Little Mo'er, what are you doing? Why are you panting?"

Hearing Jiang Si Ran's question, Xia Mu's originally beautiful face suddenly blushed. Please, why did I see Jiang Si Ran again? The entire atmosphere was off. Where did the cold and cool big brother next door go? How could he have such a monstrous appearance!

This world had truly changed too quickly to keep up with the tempo.

"Bro, what are you saying?"

Xia Mu's voice was soft and gentle, and this older brother's shout made Jiang Si Ran feel completely at ease. Just now, he had swept away the dark thoughts that he had with the Jiang family's old man, the man lazily leaned against the railing, the wind blew against his shirt's hem, his collar opened wide, and the corners of his mouth curled up, his peach blossom eyes rippling.

The man let out a soft laugh, and his deep voice entered Xia Mu's ears, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Ever since he finished his meal in the courtyard, Jiang Si Ran had learned how to send messages. Every night, he would chat with Xia Mu.

With one hand on the cart and the other on the phone, Xia Mu replied, "Not bad."

"Then when can you tell me the answer?" However, due to some people's reasons, he couldn't wait any longer. Even if his current strength was still far from that person's, he still had to quickly take that girl under his wing.

The worst case scenario would be just one slap, but Jiang Si was certain that his opponent would not easily do anything. After all, he only had one son.

"Brother, I'm doing very well right now, and I don't want to leave this place."

However, hearing Xia Mu's rejection of him again, he felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart. This was the first time he wanted to love someone so much, but this little girl rejected him time and time again, stopping all possibilities between them without any hesitation.

The identity of an illegitimate child had made Jiang Si Ran's youth miserable. The stubborn youth felt that having a mother was enough, he didn't care about the insults, insults, and bullying, but who wouldn't yearn for a warm home?

Jiang Si Ran also yearned for it.

"Good?" The man's ending tone rose up as he squinted his eyes, "I can't see any good points at all!"

"Big brother, are you angry?" Xia Mu knew Jiang Silan too well, and whenever this casual tone was heard, it meant that the man was angry.

"Angry? Do you think I'm angry? " The man's voice was still light, but the curve of his lips was even more pronounced. There was a smile in his eyes, but there was no warmth.

"Big brother," Xia Mu sat down on the steps of the courtyard, his arms resting on his knees as he held his phone. His voice was gentle as he said, "Big brother, don't be angry with me, okay?" She lowered her posture, but didn't want her brother to be angry. She was his only family besides his children and his grandmother, and she didn't want to make him sad.

Hearing the girl's pleas, Jiang Si Ran's voice softened a bit, "Little Mo Er, you don't want to, I won't force you. I just want you to follow me out of here, what are you holding on to? How did Nannan and the baby come here? I have never asked you, but that does not mean that I do not know. " There were some things that Jiang Si Ran didn't want to divulge. Not telling didn't mean that he didn't know.

Xia Mu's heart suddenly tightened and his face paled, "Brother …" Xia Mu's lips moved, but he managed to utter out a single syllable with great difficulty, and he was no longer able to speak.

"Little Mo Er, I know that you are a sensible and independent child. You have had an idea since you were young, but you know very well what kind of life you are leading right now. Do you think that I, as your brother, will allow you to continue like this? I still need to run some errands in City G. After a week, you and the kids will follow me home! "

They grew up together. He had always envied Xia Mu for having a warm home, but now that Xia Mu's home was gone, he could give her a whole new home!

Xia Mu's eyes grew hot, as if something was about to spurt out of them. He raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Brother, actually, you really don't need to do all this for me."

"Little Mo Er, if you call me Big Brother, then what I've done really doesn't count for much. I just want to make your life happy. "

"Bro," Xia Mu raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes as he spoke in a choked voice, "I'm doing really well right now too." Xia Mu had already endured an even more bitter day. Compared to the pain he had suffered before, the life he was now, it really wasn't much.

"Silly girl!" Jiang Si Ran said softly with a hint of intimacy in his tone.

"You're my brother, I'm stupid, and so are you!" Xia Mu replied with a nasal voice.

Although he did not hear the answer he wanted, Jiang Si Ran had already made up his mind. He wanted to settle the Jiang family's matters quickly and leave the city with Little Mo in his arms. A brand-new life was just in front of his eyes.

The man leaning on the railing revealed a breathtaking and flamboyant smile.

Piess: Lord Mu will be appearing soon, and little bun will be appearing soon. Don't worry, take it slow!

Weekends, kindergarten holidays.

When Xia Mu walked into the courtyard, he heard Nannan's voice within the house:

"Baby, remember to put the drawing board on your back."

The young boy's childish voice rang out, "Big sister, that's your drawing board. Why do you want me to carry it?"

"Nannan?" Xia Mu shouted and followed him into the house.

"Mom, can we go now?" Nannan had two pigtails and a new hairpin on her head. Her little face was pink and tender as her eyebrows were very thick. Her black eyes were like two balls of black jade dipped in mercury.

This child's eyes were truly beautiful. Unfortunately, they did not resemble his at all. To be honest, these two children didn't look much like Xia Mu, especially the baby. Apart from his dark hair, there was no other resemblance to Xia Mu on his small face, especially the pair of slender eyes. Jiang Si naturally had those eyes, but the person Xia Mo had seen on the cover of the magazine also had a pair of eyes.

Seeing that Xia Mu didn't say anything, the baby went up and pulled on Xia Mu's T-shirt, calling out, "Mom!"

Xia Mu regained his senses, looked down at his son and smiled, "Since you've already packed everything up, let's go. But let's just say that you're not allowed to go anywhere in a while. " Xia Mu still had a lingering fear from the last escape.

"Mom, don't worry. Baby and I are both the most obedient." Nannan rushed to express her feelings.

The baby nodded, "Yes." In his heart, he thought that everything that had happened last time had been entirely his sister's idea. In order to make his sister happy, he had followed her, but his body was too weak and he had heard from his sister that an uncle had passed by to save him.

I wonder when I'll be able to say thank you to the uncle in person?

Mu Ru Guang was hospitalized and insisted on leaving the hospital on the second day. He had been resting at home for the past few days and didn't go anywhere else, accompanying his parents. Because of this, Mu Dong did not persist in his daily morning run. However, during the time he had to take care of his father, a faintly discernible figure would appear in his mind. The memory in his heart was not reflected on his face.

By the time Mu Dong reappeared at the breakfast stand, it was already 8 AM. This was because on weekends, people ate breakfast later than usual. When Mu Dongdong arrived, Xia Mu's small stove was filled with customers waiting for him.

Instead of calling for Xia Mu, he sat down at his usual table.

Nannan and the baby were sitting by the side while Nannan held the drawing board in her hand, as she tried to say something to her brother.

Maybe it was due to telepathy, but Nannan lifted her head and saw a person.

"Baby, watch it for me. I need to go over." Nannan stuffed the drawing board into her brother's hand and ran towards that person.

"Elder sister …" The baby picked up the drawing board, stood up, and ran after her.

Surrounded by Xia Mu, Mu Dongfang couldn't see Xia Mu's figure, and could only recognize her voice from the din, "This is your pancake, the radish is in the bowl. If you need it, do as you please."

Her voice was clear and crisp, just like her own, full of life and hope.

He could vaguely see the outline of that person, and in his mind, he slowly formed a complete Xia Mu. He knew that the young girl called Xia Mu had an extremely serious look on her face when she made pancakes, as if she was dealing with the most complicated matter in the world.

He liked her, his seriousness and persistence in life, her energy and hope.

Mu Dongfang fell into deep thought until a crisp voice interrupted him.

"Uncle, do you still remember me?"

Small Theatre:

One day after the wedding.

When Lord Mu returned from his business trip, he saw his daughter-in-law busying herself in the living room as he opened the door.

Mu stepped forward and embraced his wife. "Do you miss me?"

Xia Mu was holding onto a few coupons and was in the middle of studying them carefully when he was suddenly ambushed by someone. He asked in surprise, "Why did you come back so early?"

Lord Mu raised his thick eyebrows as he embraced his wife and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Which courier should I choose?"

The man extended his arm and chose a blue cover. He handed it over. "This one."

Xia Mu cast a weird glance at Lord Mu and muttered in his heart, "Please, do you not know the characteristics of EMS?" He asked, "Why didn't you choose Shunfeng?"

Someone whispered into the ear of his wife.

Xia Mu's face was completely red as he scolded, "You're crazy!"
