Chapter 274 Not Me But Us
The boy who lost the competition got the right to dance alone as he wished the next day.

In the slightly cool courtyard in autumn, Chen Mu quietly looked at the dancing girl in front of her, and the faint smile on her lips.

Time often passes very slowly at such a time, and even the fluttering of fallen leaves around can't match Li Xinxi's gentle dancing steps at this time.

On the other hand, Chen Mu was sitting in front of the easel at this time, slowly painting on the swaying corner of the skirt of the girl in the yellow skirt in front of him.

"Miss, let's stop here, I'm already very satisfied."

Not long after, Chen Mu stopped the paintbrush in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the entrance of the small courtyard.

"That's it? It's just the beginning, Gouzi, you were not like this before."

For Chen Mu's appearance, Li Xinxi was quite shocked, after all, with her character that never suffers.

Just jumping to such a song in front of him, Chen Mu's next semester has already been determined to death.

After all, for her, equal value exchange is never out of date.

But today's situation is obviously a bit special. From the action of Chen Mu's stopping the brush at this time, it can be seen that someone from the family has come.

"Little bastard, I came here this time to tell you about the previous incident. Your uncle will not go back on this matter."

The bad old man sat down at the table carelessly, and casually squeezed a piece of fruit cake from the food plate, and then put away his urchin posture.

"You boy, I also went to watch the last 5000-meter race. Why is it not as good as a little girl? I didn't see you surpass her in the end."

"Master, that's him pretending to be stupid." Li Xinxi shook his arm coquettishly: "You didn't see him like that at that time."

"Everything, you have to let Xiaoxi a little bit, this is what your uncle told me back then."

Chen Mu is still very good at shirking responsibility, and Li Xinxi's reaction after this is the same as usual.

Sure enough, it was just such a simple sentence, and she immediately pulled off the gesture of letting go, which made the uncle smile wryly.

"Little girl, don't listen to Chen Mu's nonsense, I never taught her this kind of thing."

"Then his habit of staring at his legs every day, as a colorist, must have been taught by you, sir."

"I don't do this kind of thing—"

As soon as the words fell, the uncle and Li Xinxi pouted almost at the same time, and they all looked at Chen Mu who was only scratching his head at this time.

"I think, like this kind of thing, even if the uncle doesn't teach it, I guess I can understand it myself."

At this moment, Chen Mu, who was being blamed for no reason, had no choice but to swallow the bitterness in his stomach.

"Why don't we talk about it, after all, I have nothing to do with genetics."

Chen Mu helplessly spread his hands towards the two people in front of him. Seeing that they were still unresponsive, he had to lower his voice again.

"The old pervert is innocent forever, why don't we change the subject, for example, what happened to you just now, sir?"

"I'll always say nonsense all day long." Li Xinxi frowned, then sat beside Chen Mu and grabbed his waist.

At this time, Chen Mu and Li Xinxi were tormenting each other, but the old man sitting opposite them gradually restrained his expression.

"Speaking of which, if we delay the meeting, it will be dinner time, so it's time to talk to you two little fellows about business."

"Master, are you not eating with us today?" Li Xinxi tilted her head involuntarily, as if she noticed that the bad old man was a little different today.

"Don't eat, don't eat. I made an appointment with Lao Yu to eat at his place today. This old guy's health is getting worse and worse recently."

The uncle clenched his fists to his mouth and coughed twice, then looked at the two people opposite him and made another sound.

"You two little guys, you should also be considerate of an old man like me, and speed up the progress a little bit."

"We will try our best to be great sir." Chen Mu said as he gently grasped the little hand of the girl beside him.

"Then I'm relieved." The uncle looked Chen Mu up and down for a few seconds, and then smiled wickedly.

"Actually, you two little guys have been urging and urging all day long, but there is nothing wrong with you, little brat."

"It's just that your uncle had a dream that night. He dreamed that there was a black lump under a plum tree under the embankment. He happened to be free, so he went there for a walk and happened to pick up your naked little girl. It's just a cub."

"Oh, that's right." As if thinking of something because of this, the uncle patted his forehead and added: "There is one more thing that I didn't say at the time. In fact, the plum tree in our yard is also The tree was planted at that time."

"Master, you must know something else, maybe it's just because you forgot it for too long, why don't you drink a cup of hot water and think about it slowly." Li Xinxi poured warm water for the uncle, and handed it to him with a smile on her face.

"Ah, this, thank you little girl." In terms of etiquette, the old man said that he has never lost to anyone: "Let me think about it again, but I guess there is nothing special about it."

"Isn't that special? All the dream come out." Compared to him with a calm expression at this time, Chen Mu looked quite excited: "Master, think about it carefully, don't you think the whole town is a little strange?"

"Whether it's the same clouds that always repeat in the sky, or the same weather every year, not to mention our school, where everyone has a little bit of a weirdness."

"Little bastard—" Uncle made a cup of warm tea without haste, and took another sip: "Your thoughts now, in our time, were called hysteria."

"Furthermore..." the bad old man lowered his voice subconsciously: "If only one person is strange, then that person is naturally strange, but if everyone is strange, it will look quite ordinary."

"At first I heard this sentence, and I thought it made some sense, but after thinking about it, it was only absurd. After you finished speaking, sir, I think it still makes sense."

Li Xinxi on the side stopped Chen Mu's movement of wanting to argue again, but smiled lightly with a pair of small dimples.

"Yes, yes, I also think it makes sense." The uncle patted his clothes twice and got up, but he smiled and responded to Li Xinxi.

"Little girl, this year's plums are not particularly sweet, wait a little longer, next year it will probably be much sweeter than this."

"I will definitely wait until that time, after all, the plums are really sweet when they are ripe."

Li Xinxi replied firmly, her clear eyes were full of longing.

"Master, do you want us to see you off?"

"No, you two little guys can make dinner early."

Just as Chen Mu was about to get up habitually to see him off, Li Xinxi got up and gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Also, it's not me alone, it's us."

Saying so, the girl put one palm into the other.
