Chapter 363 Pampering the Bamboo Horse (10)
Xu Shun looked up at her. The fireworks bloomed and then disappeared. Her delicate and cold face also dimmed and brightened, and her eyes could not be seen clearly.
"Your mother dressed you up so beautifully. She must have valued this family dinner very much, but you came here to see me. You must not have told your mother when you came out. If you had, you wouldn't be able to come. What would your mother do if you go back?" Will he scold you?"
Mu Qing: "It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of her. It's important to celebrate the New Year with you."
The lights in the convenience store are always strong and bright, and the shadows of people are very faintly illuminated, making Xu Shun's fair little face look even more unreal.
He stood in front of the shelves, looking down at the dazzling array of snacks, his brows frowning more and more.
He muttered unconsciously, "This is all junk food, it's not good for your health."
Xu Shun is not as greedy as other children of the same age.
Mu Qing stood next to him and said with a chuckle: "You have already drank, and you are still afraid of eating junk food?"
Xu Shun blushed and did not dare to look up at her.
He still hasn't told her the truth. What they drank at the banquet that day was not wine, just drinks.
Mu Qing took his hand and said, "Get some snacks for Yi Liu and Man Zhuyue, and buy some dumplings."
Xu Shun was a little surprised, "Can you cook dumplings?"
"What's so difficult about this?"
"Do you know when it's ripe?"
"……Know."
Xu Shun was silent for a while, and suddenly the desire to win came from nowhere, "It's really not difficult to cook dumplings. I just haven't cooked them before. I can learn them by searching on my mobile phone."
Mu Qing looked back at him with a smile in her eyes, "Well, you are very powerful."
Xu Shun suddenly felt a little embarrassed and stopped talking. He was held by Mu Qing's hand obediently until he left the convenience store.
Mu Qing was holding a big bag in one hand, which was full of things.
When the cold wind blew, Xu Shun came back to his senses. Mu Qing had been picking things, paying for things, and carrying things. He, a boy who was taught to be a gentleman by his mother, actually did nothing.
Xu Shun quickly said: "I'll mention it."
Mu Qing thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to go around and around with a child. "I don't want you to be tired. I'll do it. I'm strong."
Xu Shungang showed an unconvinced expression, and Mu Qinghu hugged his body and lifted him up.
With his feet dangling in the air, Xu Shun showed a horrified expression.
Mu Qing put him on the ground again, with a calm expression, "Look, I am strong."
Xu Shun:......
"Pfft-"
The clerk came to the door of the store at some point and couldn't hold back his laughter.
Mu Qing saw the two short reflections of herself and Xu Shun on the glass door. This scene really made people laugh, and she left Xu Shun with a blushing face without saying a word.
Mu Qing cooked dumplings, and the four of them celebrated the New Year at Man Zhuyue's villa.
Xu Shun was lying on the window, looking at the non-stop fireworks outside, gently biting the steaming dumplings.
When he heard the bells ringing from the square in the distance, Xu Shun quickly turned around and said to Mu Qing, "Happy New Year!"
Mu Qing looked away from her phone, which had many missed calls. She turned off the phone screen and responded with a smile, "Happy New Year."
Fu Ge went to Fu's house alone for the last time. When he came back, he heard that Mu Qing and Xu Shun were celebrating the New Year together. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't express it, but he still wanted to say something.
"Friends in childhood are the most precious, so you must be nice to them."
Mu Qing stood on the stairs. It was the beginning of the new year, but there was no trace of people in the house. It was empty and deserted. There was a faint sarcasm on her lips.
Fu Ge always felt that she shouldn't have such an expression on her face. She felt it was like a provocation and wanted to get angry, but she always had no confidence and no idea where the fear came from.
Fu Ge didn't necessarily have much motherly love for Mu Qing, but now he feels more and more disgusted in his heart, but his face becomes more gentle, "But you should tell your mother when you leave today. She is very worried about you, so you have to be punished. Go practice the piano until three o'clock."
Fu Ge stood there and stared at her, as if he wanted to look at her.
Mu Qing walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, sat down in front of the piano, and placed her fingertips on the keys. Beautiful piano music flowed out, but the fireworks outside were very noisy, and she couldn't hear the artistic conception.
Fu Ge sat on the sofa next to him and watched Mu Qing practice the piano.
Ten minutes...two ten minutes...half an hour, until an hour passed, the sound of the piano did not stop.
Fu Ge looked at her pale face, but he only felt happy in his heart. He yawned and couldn't bear it any longer, "You continue to practice, the sound of the piano is cut off, and my mother can hear it. She went back to the house first." "
Fu Ge returned to the house. After 10 minutes, Mu Qing gradually stopped playing and picked up the phone next to him. There were several unread messages.
Xu Shun: "Are you home?"
Xu Shun: "Did your mother scold you?"
Xu Shun: "You won't fall asleep, will you?"
Xu Shun: "Go to bed so early?"
Xu Shun: "I'm outside your house."
Mu Qing suddenly stood up, came to the door and opened it. Xu Shun was standing outside the door, his face was blown red by the wind, and his eyes were also red.
He quickly took Mu Qing's hand, her fingers were red.
Xu Shun suddenly wanted to cry. He had never cried before when he encountered something scarier and sadder. "I'm sorry... I originally wanted to knock on the door directly, but I was afraid of interrupting you. In the future, when I don't know, your mother will punish you." Yours is more powerful, so..."
The corners of Mu Qing's lips curled up slightly with an unnoticeable sick smile, and he fleetingly said gently: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it."
Xu Shun felt as if he was pricked by a needle, "...After I came out of Zhuyue's house, my dad called me and planned to ask my uncle secretary to pick me up, but after thinking about it, I came to see you anyway. I didn’t want to go home, so I had nowhere to go.”
Mu Qing stepped back slightly to get out of the way. There was a full moon in the sky, trees in the courtyard, and mottled light and shadow on the ground. Her eyes were warm, and even the cold moonlight dissipated in front of her.
Xu Shun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he stared at her blankly for a few seconds before walking in.
Mu Qing closed the door.
Xu Shun didn't see Fu Ge in the living room, "Don't you need to practice piano anymore?"
"No, she is probably fast asleep right now, so she won't be able to hear me even if I practice the piano."
In the past, Mu Qing didn't dare to be lazy, but now Mu Qing is not afraid of her.
Mu Qing took Xu Shun upstairs.
After knowing each other for so long, Mu Qing often goes to Xu Shun's house, but this is Xu Shun's second time here.
The last time he came here, Xu Shun felt that Mu Qing's room was not interesting. This time, when he saw everything in the bedroom, he wanted to know what kind of story they had.
Xu Shun took off his coat and lay on Mu Qing's soft bed. The heating was on in the room, which was very comfortable.
He listened to Mu Qing telling him a story, and the gentle voice in his ears was like a lullaby. He answered unconsciously, even he himself didn't know the answer, and slowly closed his eyes.
Mu Qing didn't hear any more response and looked at him. The boy's peaceful sleeping face was incredibly warm under the soft light.
Mu Qing's eyes gradually melted, she leaned next to him, covered the two of them with quilts, and fell asleep too.
