If you want a husband, you have to fight for it.

For a person like Xu Muyu who has disabled legs, it is painful enough to maintain daily life while sitting in a wheelchair.

Not to mention traveling.

Or travel alone.

Guan Baishu couldn't imagine how Xu Muyu got here.

How could Wan Chuncao bear to let him go out alone in the wheelchair?

Guan Baishu looked at him blankly and said, "I mean, it must be very difficult for you to go out without Miss Wan by your side. You might also encounter obstacles on the way here that are difficult to deal with."

She tried to use words like "difficulties" and "obstacles" and did not specifically mention the embarrassment of traveling in a wheelchair.

I was afraid that saying it out loud would irritate Xu Muyu.

Even Xu Muyu himself felt sad when he thought of him pushing his wheelchair alone on the road.

What should he think?

What's more, he is a man with such a strong self-esteem.

When talking about Wanchuncao, even if it was just a name, Xu Muyu would always smile, even he himself didn't notice it: "It's OK, it was a bit troublesome to get on and off the bus, but the driver was kind enough to help me. On the way, there were no problems."

He spoke of his difficulties too frankly, which surprised Guan Baishu.

She thought, she thought he would be afraid to talk about this.

No one ever talked about his pain easily, especially him.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Muyu took the initiative to ask: "Let's order something first, what would you like to drink?"

Guan Baishu reacted quickly and said, "All, all is fine."

She looked a little flustered, far from the cool and calm that Wan Chuncao had described.

It’s not Guan Baishu’s fault. She didn’t expect Xu Muyu to be so indifferent. She thought it would be the same as before, and she needed to take the initiative to speak, and Xu Muyu would silently follow her instructions.

Xu Muyu asked the waiter to bring two drinks first.

The shop had just opened and there was not much business yet, so the sound of the staff making drinks could be clearly heard by their ears.

The mechanical sound of the juicer made Guan Baishu a little confused. She didn't know what to say, even to Xu Muyu, whom she had invited.

"It's okay, Bai Shu. We can talk about anything."

Xu Muyu spoke first again. He smiled at Guan Baishu and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Don't be so reserved."

He was very frank, which made Guan Baishu seem restrained.

In fact, Guan Baishu was also very restrained, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing: "Did you order iced?"

Xu Muyu smiled at her and said, "It's hot."

Guan Baishu was more reserved: "Well, that's good."

Since they didn't order much and there were no other customers, the drinks they ordered came out quickly.

The appearance of the shop assistant saved Guan Baishu in time.

She quickly bit the straw and the warm drink entered her mouth. Only then did Guan Baishu realize how flustered she was and how unnatural she behaved in front of Xu Muyu.

Xu Muyu just smiled and reminded her: "Drink slowly, no one will snatch it away."

The laughter was not loud, as if it was trying to comfort her not to be anxious.

Guan Baishu knew that she shouldn't have been so anxious, but her last meeting in the hospital still bothered her.

Just like the time when she did something wrong and refused to leave and he got hurt, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, which would hurt him again.

"Mu Yu,"

After a while, Guan Baishu put down the straw and finally raised his head: "After so many years, are you okay?"

Even if it was unnecessary to ask, she should still ask.

Xu Muyu smiled at her: "To be honest, it's pretty average."

"I spent a lot of time in the hospital, and then I went home and rarely went out. Life was not good."

complain?

Is it a complaint?

Xu Muyu is complaining?

It was the first time Guan Baishu heard Xu Muyu’s complaint, and she was stunned for a long time.

Even if Xu Muyu had not gotten into trouble in the past, she had never heard him complain.

Now, she actually heard Xu Muyu's complaints.

"You've changed a lot."

Guan Baishu said.

Xu Muyu could see what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "You have gained weight, you are not as thin as before, she always says that."

It is obvious who "she" is.

His eyebrows were curved, and his face was filled with unconcealable happiness.

Guan Baishu felt relieved for a moment when he heard him say these words that he hadn't said for a long time: "Yes, a little bit, not as thin as before."

"When I was in the hospital, I was in pain and the food wasn't tasty, so I lost some weight."

Xu Muyu smiled: "Now I cook and eat at home, and I eat very well, so I am no longer losing weight. Maybe soon, I will gain weight around my waist."

He was talking casually about an everyday trivial matter, and did not seem to be troubled by the past at all.

Seeing him like this, Guan Baishu tentatively agreed with him and said, "Then you will really gain weight."

"I hope it's not too fat. I'm afraid she won't like it."

All that came to Xu Muyu's mind was that he had to finish Wan Chuncao's leftovers every time he ate, and the image of Wan Chuncao lying on the bed with her legs lazily hanging on him.

If she eats too much, she won't be able to hold on.

If I don't eat it, who will eat the leftovers that Wan Chuncao can't finish?

Every sentence was about Wan Chuncao, and Guan Baishu looked at him.

He has really changed.

"It's nice to chat with you like this, Bai Shu."

Xu Muyu knew what Guan Baishu was worried about: "You don't have to be so careful. I'm not something fragile. I'm not as childish as before. I can't even stick to it."

They all tell some jokes.

Guan Baishu put down the hand holding the straw: "You were not childish before."

“It’s still a bit childish.”

Xu Muyu was a little embarrassed: "Otherwise, we have been friends for so many years and have such a good relationship, but I have never thought of contacting you, let alone those good friends."

If he had not been completely disheartened at that time, he would not have cut off all contact with the outside world, locked himself at home, and ignored everyone.

Even visits from good friends were rejected many times, so many times that they no longer had any reason to continue visiting.

After they stopped coming to his house, his world became lonelier and he gradually fell into depression.

The web of loneliness trapped him in his own little world, making him gradually become discouraged towards everyone and everything.

He began to despise himself and give up on himself.

In the end, even Liu Ma, who was left by his side, followed his self-abandonment and looked down on and ignored him.

If he had tried to struggle a little more at the beginning, tried to trust his friends again, he would not have stayed in the same situation for so many years.

Guan Baishu knew that he was just too desperate, so desperate that he didn't know how to get out of it.

It was like they were friends and didn't know how to help him get over it.

She put her hands on her knees and squeezed them, trying to make a joke to Xu Muyu: "Even though we talked, you drove me away. You don't care about me, your childhood sweetheart, so how can you not drive those people away who are not wearing the same pants as you?"

Xu Muyu looked at her and apologized to her with a smile: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive at the time."

When their eyes met, Guan Baishu finally felt relieved about what happened that day: "Does the back of your hand have a scar?"

Xu Muyu smiled and shook his head: "No."

He asked her again: "What about you, is your little heart hurt?"

Little Heart...

"No, I was just a little scared."

Guan Baishu was really surprised that Xu Muyu could say such a thing: "I didn't expect you to ask such a question. When we were dating, I never saw you say such a playful thing."

Xu Muyu's raised lips were hard to suppress: "Maybe I heard too much."

Where did you hear this from? Who told you this?

Guan Baishu asked deliberately, "Did you listen to me when we talked about it?"

Xu Muyu felt a chill on his back: "No, it's not Bai Shu either..."

That’s all. He raised his eyes and said to Guan Baishu very seriously, “It’s Tingting. I heard what she said.”
