Chapter 139 Lies
Mu Jinghua had no intention of deceiving Xu Shu.
When he made up his mind to do this, he seriously thought about the consequences of being discovered by Xu Shu.
Whatever it was, he accepted it unconditionally.
Even if Xu Shu asked him to die.
So after a moment's hesitation, Mu Jinghua revealed his plan: "Xiao Cui wants to snatch you from me, I can't let him go."
He just said one sentence, and then he saw Xu Shu frowned, and the arms that were around him loosened their strength.
He seemed to be leaving him, and Mu Jinghua immediately panicked and said, "But I didn't want to kill her."
He lied, he lied to Xu Shu.
The original persistence was like a joke, breaking down in a second, and Mu Jinghua smiled bitterly in his heart.
Xu Shu was relieved: "So, you don't know how she died, right?"
Mu Jinghua frowned and refused to answer, as if he was thinking about something.
Xu Shu's heart suddenly rose to his throat and he was very nervous.
He knew what he was nervous about. This was a time of chaos, and human life was the cheapest in times of chaos. He knew this better than anyone else.
He knows it, and he admits it, so he doesn't mind eliminating anyone who stands in his way.
But he didn't want Mu Jinghua to become like this.
There is no reason, I just don't want it.
Mu Jinghua saw his reaction and knew very well what Xu Shu wanted to hear and what he didn't want to hear.
The lie has already been revealed, and it is too late to say anything more. Mu Jinghua doesn't mind saying something that can make Xu Shu happy, he is just a little puzzled why.
Why Xu Shu seemed to mind his involvement in this matter.
Xu Shu urged him: "Xiao Mujin, why are you silent?"
Mu Jinghua had to come back to his senses, smiled at him, and gestured: "I don't know."
Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but Mu Jinghua pulled his sleeve and asked him with lips: "What if I knew?"
Xu Shu chuckled: "Kid, have you learned to joke now?"
This sounded like a change of subject. Mu Jinghua didn't want to ask any more questions, so he changed the subject as well: "I've come up with a new recipe for medicinal food today. Can I make it for you tonight?"
Xu Shu couldn't help but be surprised. At that time, Mu Jinghua told him that he wanted to make medicinal food. Although he agreed, he didn't actually take it to heart.
But now, Mu Jinghua has really figured out something.
"Do you need to buy any ingredients or medicinal herbs?" Xu Shu looked outside. It was not yet dark.
Mu Jinghua shook his head and said that they were all available at the new home.
In this case, Xu Shu ordered the driver to go back to Shiqiao Village to see Qi Huairen.
Originally he wanted to help, but Mu Jinghua insisted that he wanted to give him a surprise and would not let him in, so Xu Shu sat outside and wrote invitations to the greenhouse.
It was mainly written by a guy named Xiao Ran. Children from aristocratic families are more particular about this.
After writing the invitations, he was bored and started thinking about the wedding invitations. Although it was probably too early to get married, it might not be a bad idea to prepare for a rainy day.
Xu Shu tried several styles in a row, and when he saw Mu Jinghua and his name close together, he felt inexplicably excited.
When Mu Jinghua finished cooking and came out, Xu Shu was a little embarrassed to let him know, so he quickly cleaned up the things on the table in a flustered manner, which made Qu Xiu puzzled.
"Brother Xu, what good stuff are you hiding?"
Xu Shu laughed: "Nothing."
Mu Jinghua noticed the pile of papers in his hand and was distracted for a moment.
For dinner, Mu Jinghua prepared three medicinal dishes, all of which were soups.
A dish of Codonopsis pilosula and quail soup, which strengthens the spleen and stomach, is specially prepared for Qi Huairen.
A black bean carp soup, which is good for growing tendons and bones, is obviously prepared for Qu Xiu.
The last dish was crucian carp soup with Amomum villosum. Mu Jinghua gave Xu Shu a big bowl full of it.
Xu Shu took it flattered and asked, "What is this for?"
Mu Jinghua lowered his head, as if a little embarrassed, so Qi Huairen answered for him: "Relieve heat."
Xu Shu: ...
Seeing Xu Shu had no reaction, Qi Huairen frowned and said, "Don't waste it. These ingredients are very expensive. You are in a hurry every day. Drink more. It's good for your health."
Xu Shu was not convinced: "How can I be so anxious every day?"
He looked at Mu Jinghua, smiling: "What do you say?"
Mu Jinghua glanced at a certain position of Xu Shu, and pushed Tang towards Xu Shu.
Xu Shu didn't indulge him and went up to tickle him.
She couldn't run away or hide in his arms, and because she couldn't make a sound, she could only hold back a few tears. Only then did Xu Shu reluctantly let him go.
But I still drank this soup in the end.
He drank it in one gulp without even tasting anything. After finishing it, he pulled Mu Jinghua home.
Qi Huairen did not stop them, but only asked: "The house will be warmed up in a few days, do you need me to make room for you?"
"No need. They are all making a fuss in the outer hall. At most, Xiao Ran will come in for a stroll. You guys are familiar with each other, so it doesn't matter."
Qi Huairen had no objection and waved his hand to let Xu Shu and Mu Jinghua go back and rest early.
Xu Shu responded, and as soon as he got home, he pushed Mu Jinghua onto the bed and kissed her twice before saying, "Do you think I have a bad temper?"
Now that there was no one around, Mu Jinghua did not restrain himself and grabbed Xu Shu unreasonably. Xu Shu groaned, and was slapped in the face the next second.
Hard and sticks up high.
However, he didn't feel ashamed about this kind of thing. He kissed her twice before asking, "You're a medical student. Did Qi Huairen tell you that if someone like me is played with by you but can't get relief every time, will I die early?"
This was just a flirting joke, but Mu Jinghua took it seriously. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she looked at him aggrievedly.
"What's wrong?" Xu Shu subconsciously reflected on himself, wondering what he had said wrong that had offended Xiao Mujin?
But before he could figure out what was going on, Mu Jinghua raised his hands, hugged his neck, and gently bit his Adam's apple.
It seems like venting anger, but more like seduction.
Xu Shu's voice was hoarse: "What?"
Mu Jinghua pushed him and said with his lips: "What did you just write? Why don't you show it to me?"
Xu Shu's heart warmed up when he suddenly mentioned this, and he hugged him and sat up: "Let me show you, you're getting angry over such a small matter, aren't you stupid?"
Mu Jinghua wrapped her arms around his neck and refused to come down out of spite.
Xu Shu didn't urge him to come down, but carried him directly to the table. He sat on the chair and Mu Jinghua sat on his lap.
Hanging on him like a koala, Xu Shu took out the wedding invitation he had just written from the table and handed it to Mu Jinghua: "Which one do you like?"
Mu Jinghua held the stack of things and looked at Xu Shu lazily.
At first I did not take it seriously, thinking that what Xu wrote, such as "the red rope is set", "the combination of pearls and jade", and "the fragrance of osmanthus and orchid", were inexplicably profound.
Just when he was about to laugh at Xu Shu for showing off his knowledge again, he was deliberately teasing him.
He saw "grow old together", saw "Mu Jinghua" and "Xu Shu" pressed tightly together, at that moment, he could not hold the thin paper at all, and it fell in vain.
When he saw the paper was about to fall, he subconsciously reached forward to grab it, but because he was caught off guard, he fell backwards with Xu Shu.
At the moment before landing, he heard Xu Shu's thumping heartbeat, strong and powerful, which inexplicably matched his panicked and restless heart.
One after another, it was like playing a song.
