I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Qi Huairen went to Yichun Tower and brought back the news that "the prescription doesn't work."

This was something Xu Shu had expected. After all, without his antidote, Qi Huairen would not be able to find a solution. But he still comforted Qi Huairen and advised him to give up.

As the saying goes, "Advising people to separate instead of getting back together will make them want to leave."

As expected, when Xu Shuyi persuaded Qi Huairen to give up, Qi Huairen regained his fighting spirit. Even at his old age, he stayed up late and lit a lamp in his room to think about the prescription.

Qi Huairen was quite wealthy. After passing through the clinic, there was a small courtyard behind it, with a main house, two side rooms, a kitchen and a pharmacy.

Qi Huairen and Qu Xiu lived in the main house and the side room respectively, so there was only one guest room left for Xu Shu and Mu Jinghua to stay.

Xu Shu had no objection to this. After all, they both lived in one room at home, and the environment here was much better than at home.

At night, he took straw and a quilt to sleep on the floor, but Mu Jinghua came forward to pull him and gestured, "The bed is big, you can sleep together."

Xu Shu frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Didn't they say that young men should keep their distance from men?"

Mu Jinghua's face turned red and he rubbed the corner of his clothes awkwardly, not knowing how to explain.

However, Xu Shu figured it out in his mind. Seeing the child like this, he thought that he might be afraid of sleeping in a new place, so he wanted him to stay with him, but was too embarrassed to say it.

After all, something like that had happened, and Xu Shu said it was completely understandable.

But in this world, young men and young ladies do need to keep their distance, so Xu Shu took his hand and comforted him, "It's okay, I'll get closer to you."

The familiar warmth coming from his hand reminded Mu Jinghua of the feeling of being held in Xu Shu's arms when he was drugged. It was so satisfying and happy...

Mu Jinghua's heart was beating non-stop. He looked at Xu Shu and suddenly wanted to throw himself into Xu Shu's arms and have him all to himself...

Monopolize him.

Once this crazy idea appeared, it grew wildly like weeds, covering Mu Jinghua's entire world.

But no.

People like me can't do that.

Mu Jinghua suppressed this thought and smiled at Xu Shu as usual. From the first time he decided to smile at Xu Shu to now, Mu Jinghua has practiced thousands of times and has found the smile that Xu Shu likes the most and wants to see the most.

Sure enough, Xu Shu didn't think much about it and held his hand to accompany him to sleep.

But tonight, his palms were hot and unbearable, and his desire was surging. When Xu Shu turned off the lights, he couldn't help but touch that emptiness.

I want Xu Shu...

Mu Jinghua opened his lips slightly and silently called Xu Shu's name in the darkness, over and over again.

He had been to Yichun Tower before, and had been forced to learn about love affairs. He had always treated them coldly, and even felt disgusted. This was also the case tonight. He felt his emotions stirring, but did not dare to move. He only thought about Xu Shu.

But that was also why he felt sick.

Feel disgusting for myself.

Sooner or later, Xu Shu would find out that he was such a hungry, greedy, dirty guy who would lust after a man's body at night.

……

Xu Shu slept well, but Mu Jinghua, for once, stayed in bed a little too long.

Since he had nothing to do recently, Xu Shu was not in a hurry to get up. He just looked at Mu Jinghua quietly.

The boy obviously had no sense of security. Even though he had wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, he was still curled up like a shivering kitten.

However, in order to hold Xu Shu's hand, he exposed his entire arm and did not let go for the whole night.

Xu Shu was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he took his hand and tucked him back into the quilt. His movements were very gentle, and Mu Jinghua just frowned but did not wake up.

But when Xu Shu wanted to pull his hand out, Mu Jinghua suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of panic flashed in those clear and bright eyes.

Xu Shu thought he had scared him, so he held his hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, it's me."

Mu Jinghua smiled at him. He still looked a little tired, but he was about to get up.

Xu Shu held him down and said with a smile, "If you feel sleepy, just sleep for a while."

Mu Jinghua shrank back into the quilt a little embarrassedly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, still staring at Xu Shu intently.

Xu Shu pulled his hand away and found that the boy suddenly looked pitiful. His eyes flickered and he looked aggrieved, as if he was about to cry.

Xu Shu was puzzled and touched his forehead: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Mu Jinghua shrank back when his forehead was touched, but sat up as he approached, stubbornly took Xu Shu's hand, and shook it like a spoiled child.

He raised his big eyes and looked at Xu Shu pitifully.

Xu Shu felt like laughing at his coquettish appearance, and couldn't help but call him, "Little clingy guy."

Mu Jinghua didn't hide this time. Instead, he shook Xu Shu's hand boldly and smiled sweetly at him.

Xu Shu pinched his face and said, "Have you also learned to push your luck?"

Mu Jinghua pouted unconsciously when she heard that and refused to pay attention to him.

Xu Shu took advantage of the situation and pinched his soft face, asking him, "Did you sleep poorly last night?"

Seeing Mu Jinghua shaking his head, Xu Shu continued, "When we move to a new house, I'll make you a bigger and better bed, and you'll definitely sleep well."

Mu Jinghua didn't say anything. He just thought Xu Shu was really stupid. If he knew about his dirty deeds in the future, he would definitely regret treating him so well.

Xu Shu wanted to say something else, but Qu Xiu's voice came from outside the house, inviting them to come for dinner.

Qi Huairen stayed up all night last night and did not rest in the house this morning. Instead, he went to Yichun Building again.

Only Xu Shu, Mu Jinghua and Qu Xiu were left at home.

I would just read some books and write some words throughout the day, and occasionally ask Qu Xiu to run errands to buy me some candied haws. My life was very comfortable.

Qi Huairen came back in the evening, looking haggard and shaky. Qu Xiu hurried over to support him and asked him what happened, but Qi Huairen just waved his hands and sighed.

Xu Shu handed him a pot of hot tea. He drank three cups in a row before he came to his senses. He gasped and said, "The magistrate of Qingshui County has ordered the Yichun Tower to be sealed off. However, I have tried five prescriptions in a row today, but they have little effect."

"County Magistrate? Are you talking about Xiao Ran?"

Qi Huairen looked at Xu Shu in surprise and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Xu Shu chuckled and said nothing. He just asked him again, "How much did the madam of Yichunlou give you since you worked so hard?"

"Why are you so calculating?" Qi Huairen glared at him and sighed softly, "The girls and boys in there are having a hard time. They are already living a miserable life, and now they have contracted such a strange disease. I am afraid their lives are in danger. As a doctor, how can I ignore them just because of a trivial matter like money?"

Xu Shu had no intention of arguing for himself. He just smiled faintly and wanted to ask more questions about Xiao Ran.

According to his understanding of Xiao Ran, although this man is quite smart, he also has a bit of a Madonna syndrome. If he sees that the girls and guys in Yichun Building cannot pay the medical expenses, he will definitely volunteer to pay for it out of his own pocket.

His family is the richest, so naturally he doesn't care about this little money, but if this happens, all Xu Shu's plans will be ruined.

But before Xu Shu could speak, Mu Jinghua gestured to Qi Huairen first: "You are talking nonsense, Xu Shu, it's the best."

Qi Huairen couldn't understand what Mu Jinghua was gesturing and looked at Xu Shu in confusion, but Xu Shu understood what he meant. Seeing that Xiao Mujin would actually protect him so much in front of others, he felt his heart melt.

Xu Shu doesn't care how others see him. Ever since his sister died and the end of the world came, Xu Shu has been living in his own world. He is sophisticated, selfish, and indifferent. Except for being slightly tolerant towards minors, he never helps others.

But Mu Jinghua was an exception. Xu Shu always felt a little different towards him for some unknown reason.

It was just a few points, but Mu Jinghua foolishly gave his all, pouring out his heart and lungs, trembling with fear. It seemed that if Xu Shu was slightly unhappy, he would be like fragile glass, snapping and shattering into pieces.

But such a broken person protected him and said to Qi Huairen, "He is the best."

What's so good about him? Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh at himself. He had never been able to protect anyone he wanted to protect...

But this time, Xu Shu held Mu Jinghua's hand and thought, okay.
