Chapter 266 Uncle
After Xu Shuyao finished his work, the way he looked at Mu Jinghua became different.
Mu Jinghua understood what he meant. He really wanted to do it, but tonight...
He glanced at the servant waiting outside, then looked at the unfamiliar courtyard. He felt that if Xu Shuzhen entered the same room with him, Old Master Bai would come and catch them in the act.
Mu Jinghua imagined the scene where Old Master Bai was about to break Xu Shu's legs.
He shook his head again.
No, Old Master Bai is an official who has come to the capital. He would not be like the men and women in Qiaonan Village. He would not chase someone down the street with an axe or a hoe and even break their legs.
Right ...
Seeing that Mu Jinghua was distracted, Xu Shu touched his face and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"
Mu Jinghua subconsciously rubbed Xu Shu's palm, and then his body stiffened and he glanced at the servant outside the door uncomfortably.
The door was open and the servant was looking at him eagerly. When he met his gaze, he immediately lowered his head and pretended nothing happened.
But the corners of his mouth were raised and he just couldn't flatten them.
Mu Jinghua blushed immediately, but he didn't want to blame Xu Shu. This kind of thing was common in their relationship, and it would be difficult to change it all at once.
Didn't he just subconsciously act coquettishly towards Xu Shu?
But Xu Shu... why didn't he coax him like before this time?
Mu Jinghua felt embarrassed and confused, but because of the others, he still said, "Didn't you say go to bed early? Why don't you..."
"Why don't you leave first?" Xu Shu interrupted and said to the servant.
This servant was naturally sent by Old Master Bai to keep an eye on them, but he was just an observer. If he wanted to intervene, he had to report to Old Master Bai first.
But Old Master Bai ordered them to live together.
The meaning is of course very clear.
The boy was not stupid. He said a few polite words and then left.
As soon as he left, Xu Shu hugged Mu Jinghua and kissed him twice: "Little Hibiscus..."
The redness on Mu Jinghua's ears had not yet faded, and Xu Shu kissed her so impatiently that she could hardly control her emotions.
He stood on tiptoe to kiss Xu Shu back, but just as their lips touched, Xu Shu picked him up, and then he felt dizzy and the bed curtains fell.
"Tonight, you must have a good sleep."
Xu Shu said solemnly.
……
The next day, Mu Jinghua went to see Bai Danchen with dark circles under his eyes.
Xu Shu carefully supported him, fearing that he would fall down. Every time he passed a threshold, Mu Jinghua would glance at him with resentment.
Xu Shu felt warmed by his gaze and raised his eyebrows: "If you do this again, I will..."
"Brother Mu."
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of the voice and saw two people standing in a pavilion not far away. One of them was a man in black clothes, and that man was Qiao Jianhong.
At first glance, he looks like a human.
Xu Shu frowned fiercely.
He still remembered what Qiao Wan told him, that Qiao Jianhong was a bastard who wanted to get married young.
He subconsciously pulled Mu Jinghua tighter.
Mu Jinghua also heard the voice, but ignored Qiao Jianhong. Instead, he looked at the young man in white next to him. After a moment of distraction, he bowed politely and said, "I am your nephew, here to greet you, uncle."
When Qiao Jianhong called for help, Bai Danchen walked towards them. Seeing Mu Jinghua bowing, he quickened his pace and helped him up: "Why are you so polite?"
Mu Jinghua didn't reply in a depressed tone, as if he was distracted, just staring at Bai Danchen's face.
Bai Danchen didn't feel offended. He just touched his face and smiled, "I miss my father."
Mu Jinghua came back to his senses after he was exposed by his words, and said embarrassedly: "It is my nephew who is offended. Uncle and father look so much alike... I was in a trance for a moment."
"You look like your father." Bai Danchen smiled and looked at Xu Shu again, "Mr. Xu, how come you have time today to come with me?"
Xu Shu did not answer but asked, "How did General Qiao get the time?"
Bai Danchen was stunned.
He had no idea what happened yesterday. Old Master Bai knew that he was good friends with Qiao Jianhong, so he didn't tell him about his plan.
He only knew that Qiao Jianhong came to look for him in a hurry this morning, and as soon as he arrived, he started asking about his nephew who had just arrived in Beijing. He thought it was just a coincidence at first, but now he heard that Xu Shu's tone was not right, and he was puzzled for a moment.
"You... know each other?"
Xu Shu looked at Qiao Jianhong with a fake smile: "Xu is just a small person, and I can't recognize someone like General Qiao."
Qiao Jianhong was not to be outdone: "I have only met Brother Mu a few times, but I don't know who Mr. Xu, the patron behind this Muyi Building, is."
Even Bai Danchen, no matter how innocent he was, could tell that the two of them didn't get along. But he didn't care, and didn't plan to persuade them to reconcile.
After all, Qiao Jianhong is a man... Anyone who can deal with him must have a very good temper.
He glanced at the two people who were arguing with each other, and then looked at Mu Jinghua: "Brother Mu, you look unwell, are you not used to sleeping here?"
Mu Jinghua shook his head and answered truthfully: "I slept too late yesterday."
Bai Danchen was unmarried and devoted to reading sage books, so he didn't think much about it and just said, "Then I won't keep you. Go back and rest early. When you are well, your uncle will take you to visit Shangjing."
These were just polite words, and Mu Jinghua nodded casually, not paying much attention. But when he looked up and saw Bai Danchen's face, he was still a little dazed.
"Uncle, you and Father are really alike."
Mu Jinghua murmured.
It's a pity that my father had a hard life and his appearance had long been worn away by the world, but the villagers still had to spread rumors about him... They called him a vixen who seduced men every day.
And even called him a bastard...
He was obviously a pampered young man in the capital, but he fell into such a situation, and he still...
Thinking of all the love his father had shown him, Mu Jinghua felt dazed again and even forgot the pain in his body.
Xu Shu had sharp eyes. He noticed that he was not in a good state, so he subconsciously touched his head and said, "Be good, the most important thing is that you are well."
Mu Jinghua hummed muffledly and subconsciously wanted to bury himself in Xu Shu's arms. But after taking two steps, Xu Shu held him back with his fingertips.
He was subconsciously stunned, and then looked at Xu Shu aggrievedly.
Xu Shu felt warmed by his gaze, but he looked helplessly at Bai Danchen who was still watching the fun on the side, and signaled to Mu Jinghua.
Mu Jinghua then remembered that there was someone next to him and hid behind Xu Shu embarrassedly.
Bai Danchen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Did you two plan to bully a lonely person like me?"
Mu Jinghua shook his head repeatedly and tried to save his image in a low voice: "Uncle, I just..."
"Silly child, your uncle is joking with you." Bai Danchen looked up at the sky helplessly and said, "Let's go. We shouldn't stand on the roadside. It's getting late. Let's have lunch here."
"The chef here at my uncle's place was rewarded by His Majesty, and his cooking skills are not worse than those of Muyilou." Bai Danchen glanced at Xu Shu, "Would you like to try it, owner of Muyilou?"
Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "You flatter me. I am not the host of this post."
