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

Xu Shu was so frightened that he took two steps back.

He was scared of Mu Jinghua and began to have prejudices against men in this world. After hearing Li Zile's confession, his first reaction was to worry that Li Zile would forcefully kiss him.

It's really embarrassing for him, a grown man, to be in such a state.

Xu Shu cursed himself in his heart, and all he could think about was Mu Jinghua. It was not until Li Zile spoke again that he came back to his senses and realized what was going on.

Li Zile said: "Xu Shu, I..."

Xu Shu interrupted him immediately: "Wait, wait, you, you are Li Zile, aren't you engaged to Wu Yong? Didn't you say you were going to get married in the spring? What did you just say..."

When Li Zile heard what Xu Shu meant, he became anxious: "No, no, don't get me wrong. When I said I like you, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Xu Shu said coldly, "I like you, so what else can it mean? Are you doing this on purpose?"

What he said is really double standard.

I just emphasized to Mu Jinghua that likes are different from likes, this like is different from that like, and your like is different from mine.

Now facing Li Zile, it has become like this.

But Li Zile didn't know this. Seeing Xu Shu's reaction, he was a little panicked.

He used to think Xu Shu was gentle, and it seemed to be the same when he saw Xu Shu talking to Mu Jinghua. Why did Xu Shu become so fierce when it came to him?

But he also knew that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, so he quickly changed his words: "No, can you please listen to me? I just said the wrong thing in a hurry."

Seeing Xu Shu looking at him coldly and not wanting to reply, Li Zile said again: "Well, can I go to your house? It's a bit inconvenient. I'm afraid of what people say outside..."

You want to go into his house?

Xu Shu instantly became alert: "There's nothing wrong. If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Li Zile glanced at Xu Shu, and seeing that he really insisted, he had no choice but to speak: "I like you, oh no, I mean before, I liked you before."

"I used to like you very much. I thought you were tall, reliable, capable, and gentle. I hoped that you would fall in love with me, marry me, and drag me away from my alcoholic father and gambling brother."

Xu Shu's eyelids twitched. What did he mean by that? Did he have a new love, so he came to tell him that his old love was no longer loved?

What the hell.

Xu Shu frowned and asked impatiently: "What do you want to do?"

Li Zile was choked again, and after a while, he whispered, "Because I liked you, I hated Mu Ge'er."

"I'm jealous that he can get so close to you so easily. I'm jealous that he's a mute but you treat him like the apple of your eye. I'm jealous that he..."

"Get to the point." Xu Shu interrupted him again.

Li Zile smiled bitterly twice and said helplessly: "Xu Shu, I suddenly realized that you are not what I thought."

Xu Shu did not comment on the surface, but was cursing in his heart, "If it weren't for Wu Yong, I wouldn't even know you. What do you think of me have to do with me?"

Seeing that he had no intention of paying attention to him, Li Zile had no choice but to continue: "Later, I met Wu Yong, and I felt that my original hatred for Mu Ge'er was unreasonable, so I wanted to do something for him as compensation."

He looked at Xu Shu: "But he hasn't been back to Shiqiao Village for a long time. Where did he go?"

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, but did not hide it: "In town, studying medicine with Qi Huairen."

Li Zile groaned, but said, "He must be unwilling."

Xu Shu was inexplicably annoyed when he heard this: "How do you know he is unwilling?"

Li Zile suddenly laughed twice.

To Xu Shu, it sounded particularly abrupt.

"When you say this, don't you realize that he likes you?"

Xu Shu knew, of course, that was why he was upset. He was too lazy to care about Li Zile anymore and just said, "I'll leave if it's okay."

Li Zile stepped forward to block Xu Shu: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet."

Xu Shu had no choice but to listen to him patiently. After all, he couldn't beat him up, otherwise Wu Yong would hold a grudge against him.

Li Zile murmured first: "I feel sorry for him, so I want to help him."

This made no sense, and Xu Shu became more and more impatient.

Li Zile also noticed this, he just smiled and said: "But you like him too."

Both fell silent.

Finally, it was Li Zile's laughter that broke the silence: "Xu Shu, if you don't deny it, you admit it."

In fact, Xu Shu had already vaguely realized his own feelings a long time ago, he just couldn't accept it.

In fact, he is not a person with a strong sense of morality. After all, he has been struggling in the apocalypse for several years. But he has principles, one of which is to protect minors as much as possible.

He saved Mu Jinghua because of this principle.

Am I going to break this principle now just because of a casual word of liking him, and harm a minor who has not yet matured and is still growing?

This is impossible.

Li Zile seemed to see what he was thinking and suddenly said, "You are denying it."

Xu Shu was so shocked by this that he took two steps back.

Li Zile frowned and said, "But I don't understand. He likes you and you like him too. Why do you want to deny your relationship? You two have slept in the same room before, and I even saw you touching him."

"I touched him?" Xu Shu was confused by this, "What... when did it happen?"

When did he become so perverted? He touched Xiao Mujin, how could he not know...

Li Zile said indifferently: "I have seen him several times."

Seeing Xu Shu's increasingly shocked expression, Li Zile asked in confusion, "You touched his head, pinched his face, and grabbed his hand. I even saw you carrying him down from the car that time. Have you forgotten all that? What's that expression?"

As Xu Shu listened to him listing the things, he felt more and more uneasy: "How can this be considered touching? I, I only treat him as a younger brother. Don't you have a brother? Doesn't your brother usually play with you like this?"

Li Zile actually thought about it seriously and replied, "He did when he was a child, but later he got addicted to gambling and he rarely appeared in public."

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, recovering from the state of "it turns out I'm the pervert" and continued, "This is between me and him, why are you worrying so much about it?"

Li Zile was speechless. Xu Shu did not deny his love for Mu Jinghua, nor did he express surprise that Mu Jinghua liked him, which meant that this was not an obstacle for them to be together.

Why is that?

Xu Shu also has no parents, so he doesn't have to care who he marries.

Mu Jinghua was the same. She had heard from Wu Yong that Xu Shu had already resolved the issue of the indenture, so there was no obstacle to marrying her.

Then why was Xu Shu unwilling?

Is it...

Li Zile suddenly had an idea and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"
