Chapter 207 Rainbow
Xu Shu took Mu Jinghua and fled the crime scene. He was even a little panicked and staggered into the house. As soon as he closed the door, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
Mu Jinghua was still on his shoulders. He felt him sigh and chuckled softly, which was keenly noticed by Xu Shu: "What are you laughing at?"
When Mu Jinghua heard him ask this, he laughed even louder. Xu Shu could clearly feel his chest trembling as it rested on his shoulder.
Xu Shu remained silent, not knowing what to say.
After Mu Jinghua had laughed enough, he asked again in a muffled voice: "What are you laughing at?"
Mu Jinghua bent his legs and kicked him gently: "Put me down."
Xu Shu was a little unhappy: "Tell me why you are laughing first."
Mu Jinghua didn't want to talk, so he argued with him: "Put me down first."
After he said that, he began to struggle, twisting and turning on Xu Shu's body.
Xu Shu couldn't help it, so he raised his hand and slapped him on the butt. The force was not strong, but it was very loud.
Mu Jinghua suddenly froze. He stopped struggling and talking. He just sat there stiffly on Xu Shu's shoulder.
Silence filled the room, and Xu Shu suddenly panicked: "Little Hibiscus?"
Mu Jinghua didn't respond.
Xu Shu was about to shout again, but Mu Jinghua suddenly shouted, "Xu Shu!"
"I'm here." Xu Shu responded subconsciously, his voice as gentle as ever.
Mu Jinghua couldn't vent his anger, and he kept it in his heart for a long time before he said, "Put me down."
Xu Shu didn't dare to talk to him, so he quickly put him down and looked at him cautiously.
Mu Jinghua met his gaze and suddenly felt like laughing again, but he couldn't bring himself to do so, so he asked calmly, "Why did you hit me?"
"I didn't mean to do that." Xu Shu apologized quickly, "Does it hurt?"
Mu Jinghua snorted, sat down beside the bed, and pretended to be indifferent: "You go back, I want to sleep."
"Little Hibiscus." Xu Shu felt something was wrong and said quickly, "I'll accompany you tonight."
"No need." Mu Jinghua went straight to making the bed, "It's not like I haven't slept alone before, I don't need someone to accompany me."
Even though he always asked Xu Shu to accompany him in the past, he still had to save his face. He was not a child anymore. How could he let Xu Shu spank him like this?
"I need company." Xu Shu walked quickly to his side and grabbed his hand as he was tidying up the bed. "I can't sleep well without you."
Mu Jinghua was slightly moved, but still didn't want to talk about it, so he just stood there without saying anything.
Xu Shu continued: "I heard there is a waterfall in the back mountain. Let's go see it tomorrow, okay?"
"Get up early and watch it. When the sun rises, you can see a rainbow. You like rainbows, don't you?"
This is true, but Mu Jinghua has not seen rainbows many times, and the number of times he and Xu Shu have witnessed rainbows is even fewer, in fact only once.
On his way home, he sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked out.
It was a clear day after the rain, the air was filled with the smell of damp earth, and the carriage was shaking violently.
He staggered towards the cloudless sky, and suddenly saw a brilliant light in the sky. He couldn't help but look back at Xu Shu.
"Xu Shu!" His voice must have been filled with joy at that time, "Look."
He pointed to the rainbow outside the window to Xu Shu, but found that the carriage was running too fast and the rainbow had long been left behind.
Xu Shu came up to him and smiled softly in his ear, "What are you looking at?"
Mu Jinghua felt inexplicably disappointed and shook his head, "Nothing."
"Is it a rainbow?" Xu Shu asked, "The sun is rising."
Mu Jinghua didn't remember how he answered, he only remembered that Xu Shu said the sun had risen.
Yes, the sun has risen, what is he afraid of?
Mu Jinghua agreed to go see the waterfall, which made Xu Shu very excited. He even wanted to run to the mountain at night to check the situation so that he could find out the route in advance and ensure his rainbow.
But this was unrealistic. After tossing and turning in bed several times, Xu Shu finally calmed down and fell asleep.
-
The next morning, Xu Shu got up early and took Mu Jinghua to the back mountain with great interest.
Mu Jinghua was also in high spirits. When he learned that they would have lunch on the mountain, he got up early and went to the kitchen to make bamboo tube rice.
Bamboo tube rice is very fragrant.
Xu Shu carried the bamboo tube rice and held Mu Jinghua's hand, and the two walked up the mountain under the moonlight.
He originally guessed that Mu Jinghua would feel tired after walking for a while, but he didn't expect Mu Jinghua to be in such a good mood. He didn't even complain about being tired until they reached the top of the mountain.
Xu Shu was worried that he would show off, so he would ask twice. In the end, Mu Jinghua asked Xu Shu in confusion: "Xu Shu, are you tired?"
Xu Shu immediately waved his hand to refuse: "I'm not tired."
What a joke! His wife didn’t even complain about being tired, so how could he say he was tired?
At noon, they reached the halfway point of the mountain. They could see the waterfall when they looked up, but there was no end in sight. They could only see the water falling from a great height. The splashing sound almost made Xu Shu unable to hear Mu Jinghua's voice.
Mu Jinghua was obviously extremely shocked by the scene before him and did not speak for a long time.
Xu Shu then said to him, "Little Mujin, shout twice?"
"What?" Mu Jinghua couldn't hear his voice clearly and looked at Xu Shu in confusion.
Xu Shu then shouted towards the waterfall: "I love Mu Jinghua!"
The valley was immediately filled with the sound of Xu Shu's voice, one after another, deafening.
Mu Jinghua suddenly felt warm in his heart. Looking at the waterfall in front of him, he suddenly felt that everything in the world seemed insignificant.
Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, Xu Shu encouraged him, "Little Mujin, shout twice."
Mu Jinghua glanced at Xu Shu hesitantly, then shouted at the waterfall: "I love Xu Shu!"
The sound echoed in the valley, surprising Mu Jinghua.
It was the first time he heard his own voice in this way. He found it very novel and couldn't help but try it again: "I love Xu Shu!"
Xu Shu also shouted along with him: "I love Xu Shu!"
Mu Jinghua couldn't help but want to laugh. How could anyone say that they loved him like this?
But before he could smile, Xu Shu looked at him very seriously and said to him, "Tell me, you love Mu Jinghua."
I love Mu Jinghua?
Mu Jinghua found it extremely strange.
But Xu Shu's expression didn't sound like he was joking. Mu Jinghua thought about it and decided to do as he was told, but his voice was obviously not as loud as before.
Even the echo in the valley only sounded twice before it died down.
Mu Jinghua suddenly felt very lost.
Just then Xu Shu urged him again: "Speak louder."
Mu Jinghua shouted loudly: "I love Mu Jinghua!"
This time the sound was loud and clear. After it echoed three times in the valley, the clouds suddenly cleared in the sky and the sun came out. The sunlight sprayed down and a rainbow slowly formed over the waterfall.
It was like a surprise specially given to him by God.
The gorgeous and beautiful rainbow is the proof of his love for himself.
Mu Jinghua couldn't help but look at Xu Shu, excitedly wanting to share the miracle with him, but Xu Shu seemed to have expected it and looked at him with a smile.
That smile was as gentle as ever.
At that moment, Mu Jinghua felt his heart beating rapidly, and he suddenly realized that it was too foolish to worry about whether Xu Shu was sincere or not every day.
Because Xu Shu has never changed.
