Mu Jinghua was stunned when he heard Xu Shu laugh.
He immediately came to his senses and happily pulled Xu Shu to the bed.
Xu Shu half-covered the place and followed him slowly.
After walking two steps, Xu Shu noticed that he was not wearing shoes, so he pulled his sleeve and stopped him from moving: "Come here."
Mu Jinghua was stunned for a moment and wanted to turn around to look at Xu Shu, but before he could move, Xu Shu picked him up, took two quick steps, and stuffed him back into the quilt.
After the tossing and turning just now, the heat in the quilt had dissipated. Mu Jinghua couldn't help but shiver, and quickly sat up and pulled Xu Shu's sleeve.
"Don't tear it off again." Xu Shu held his hand helplessly, "I won't leave. It's late."
Mu Jinghua's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily.
Xu Shu turned his head away, not daring to look at him: "I'm no longer in pain, don't worry."
He didn’t think much about it before, but after what happened just now, when he looked at Mu Jinghua’s eyes again, he could not find the pure feeling he once had.
Mu Jinghua insisted that Xu Shu look at him before he spoke: "I'm sorry."
Xu Shu was puzzled: "What are you apologizing for?"
Mu Jinghua was too embarrassed to explain what had just happened, and rubbed the corner of his clothes with a red face.
Xu Shu understood and laughed at him again: "Why didn't you feel shy just now?"
Xu Shu was so frank, with no intention of hiding anything, which made Mu Jinghua feel even more ashamed. He was afraid that Xu Shu thought he was a slut who could do whatever man wanted.
He wanted to explain, but the words turned over in his mind three times and he couldn't figure out how to start.
Say, you want to marry Xu Shu?
Would it be too abrupt? Xu Shu would probably be angry.
Say, you want a status?
But Xu Shu did nothing, so what status can he ask for?
Just say, I like you.
Mu Jinghua made up his mind and looked up at Xu Shu, only to see Xu Shu say, "You like me, don't you?"
Mu Jinghua looked at Xu Shu, but perhaps because he looked at him for too long, his gaze could not get to the point.
Xu Shu was clearly right in front of him, but he was much blurrier than the red candle behind him.
He heard Xu Shu talking, something about like, being young, and later. It was too far, too much, and too difficult. He couldn't understand.
He just wanted to touch him again.
Xu Shuzheng spoke excitedly and wanted to explain to Mu Jinghua that love and liking are two different things.
He said that there was a big difference between him and Mu Jinghua, and that he only regarded Mu Jinghua as his younger brother. He said that respect and admiration for elders could easily be distorted into love.
He wanted to tell Mu Jinghua that this was not love.
Mu Jinghua suddenly came up and kissed him on the lips again unexpectedly.
So soft.
At that moment, this was the only thought in Xu Shu's mind.
But the next second, he came to his senses and pushed Mu Jinghua away.
"Mu Jinghua." Xu Shu was stern to him for once, "Are you listening to me?"
Mu Jinghua didn't listen of course, but he could tell that Xu Shu was angry, so he immediately wrapped himself in the quilt, leaving only his head exposed, and looked at Xu Shu tenderly.
Xu Shu was immediately at a loss for words. What else could he do? He couldn't kiss her back.
Seeing that Mu Jinghua didn't want to listen, Xu Shu was reluctant to say anything either. He turned around, blew out the light, and went to sleep.
The next day, he got up earlier than Mu Jinghua and knocked on Qi Huairen's door for a long time. Seeing that the man inside refused to open the door, he had to pry open the window and wake up Qi Huairen who was sleeping soundly.
Qi Huairen had been planning to have a good sleep today, but he dreamed that Xu Shu transformed into a fierce ghost and kept knocking on his door. He was trapped in the house and couldn't run away. He was panicking when he suddenly felt a chill and woke up with a fright.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xu Shu had lifted his quilt and was standing in front of his bed with his arms folded.
“You, you, you…” Qi Huairen was startled. He looked at the locked door of his room and spoke tremblingly: “How did you get in?”
Xu Shu pointed to the wide open window and said, "I'm leaving now. Remember what you promised me. Little Mu Jin is in your care. You will teach him medical skills, but he is weak. Don't tire him out."
"If he asks about me, just tell him that I've returned to the village and that he doesn't need to look for me. Just tell him that I...I will be back to see him in two days."
Qi Huairen was very unhappy when he heard this: "Why didn't you tell Mu Ge'er that you two were sleeping in the same room!"
"Qi Huairen." Xu Shu suddenly became serious, "Why haven't you married yet?"
"Who said I didn't get married?" Qi Huairen glared at him and sighed, "The person I liked died, and Qu Xiu is his child."
"His child is not your child?" Xu Shu felt very surprised. "But at your age, you can be Qu Xiu's grandfather. Are you kidding me?"
"I was a step too late. He later married someone else." Qi Huairen didn't want to say more. He looked at Xu Shu again, "Aren't you going to leave? Why aren't you leaving?"
Xu Shu said "oh" and reminded him to remember to tell Mu Jinghua, then he climbed out the window and left.
Qi Huairen looked at his broken window, his mouth twitching, and finally he chose to cover himself with the quilt and catch up on some sleep.
Although he was planning to go back to the village, Xu Shu got up a little too early, so he decided to walk around the town now.
First of all, I need to buy two decent clothes so that I can wear them when I go to Yichun Tower in a few days.
Xu Shu went to the cloth shop he used to go to and met the same waiter.
This time he asked for the best embroiderer, selected the most expensive material, decided on the latest clothing style, made two sets of winter clothes, and bought a pair of deerskin boots.
The waiter's smile never dropped. After Xu Shu made his choice, he immediately asked eagerly, "Master, you have made a lot of money. Do you want to buy new clothes for your brother at home?"
When talking about his younger brother, Xu Shu was a little dazed. He didn't know whether Mu Jinghua was still happy to be his younger brother...
Maybe she had never been willing? After all, Mu Jinghua was a boy who had run away from a brothel. When he met a man, he would definitely hope that the man would marry him.
Moreover, for a period of time, Xu Shu didn't know the difference between a boy and a man, and he was not particularly shy about taking a bath.
It was common to go into the house and hand him clothes. At that time, Xu Shu just thought that the child was too shy and would blush like that when someone of the same sex glanced at him.
Later, I realized that I was too abrupt, but because I didn't want to reveal my identity, I never explained to Mu Jinghua. I just kept emphasizing that I only regarded him as a younger brother.
But the emphasis seems to be counterproductive?
Mu Jinghua is getting bolder and bolder now. He even dares to climb into his bed to seduce him.
But this is not what Xu Shu cares about most.
What he cared about most was that he would react when Mu Jinghua just hooked him casually.
Why would he react like that? He clearly knew that Mu Jinghua was underage, that the child had misunderstood their relationship, and that this was immoral.
But he is sinful...
"Mr. Xu?" The waiter's call broke Xu Shu's wild thoughts. He came back to his senses, smiled softly, and shook his head: "Make two sets of his clothes according to the specifications I just mentioned. Don't be too anxious. Just finish it within a week."
"Do you need any more shoes?" The waiter pointed to the stock in the store. "Here is a pair of new shoes with floral patterns. Feel the rabbit fur inside. They are very warm in winter."
Xu Shu touched the rabbit fur and found it was indeed very soft, even softer than Mu Jinghua's little head. He then pointed to the pair of red shoes next to him and said, "I want both of them, in his size."
"Okay." The waiter happily packed it up for him, his abacus clicking loudly, "Sir, the total is fifty-two taels and three cents. I'll round it off for you, a total of fifty-two taels."
Xu Shu hummed, and casually took out a hundred-liang silver note from his pocket and handed it over.
The waiter smiled even more brightly, and after settling the bill, he kindly said to Xu Shu, "Mr. Xu, Yuzhou has been in turmoil recently. I heard that many bandits have come. You must be careful when you go out."
Xu Shu responded to his kindness and pointed at the shoes: "Send this to the Muslim Hall."
"That's the miracle doctor, right?" The waiter bent his waist and said respectfully, "Your brother is..."
"Study medicine with Qi Huairen." Xu Shu pretended not to know what a miracle doctor was, and pulled the waiter, "What do you mean by miracle doctor?"
