Quite awkward

Muchan is not in a hurry to return to Linjiang for the time being. Since he has decided to work remotely for the next two days, he plans to stay in this hot spring hotel for two more days, just as a year-end vacation.

The next afternoon, he received a call from Mu Yanqing.

"address?"

"What?" Mu Chenan was a little confused.

"I'm in North City now. Tell me the address of your hotel."

Mu Chenan pursed his thin lips, never having thought that his elder brother would be so impulsive.

It was because of Qi Yu again.

He said in a non-serious manner: "Brother, you are late. Qi Yu's illness has been cured."

"Every time she was sick, it would last from a week to half a month. There's no way she'll get better so quickly this time."

Mu Yanqing said this with an extremely firm tone. He was the person who knew Qi Yu's physical condition best.

In other words, he had some experience in taking care of Qi Yu, and even though Muchenan was the person he trusted the most, he still found it difficult to be completely at ease.

So the day before, when he learned that Qi Yu had a cold and fever, he immediately turned down his work and booked a direct flight to Beicheng to return home.

Mu Chen was silent for a while, then told the address of his hotel.

……

An orange taxi stopped in front of the hot spring hotel. Mu Yanqing pushed the door and got out, carrying only a simple black luggage bag in his hand.

Chen Yang had been waiting for a long time. He went over to take the bag and asked respectfully, "Mr. Mu, I'll take you to your residence."

"it is good."

When Mu Yanqing stepped into the villa, Mu Chenan was sitting in the living room drinking tea.

"Where's Ayu? Which room does she live in?"

“She’s gone. She left yesterday.”

Mu Chenan didn't look at the person who came. He picked up the small white porcelain teacup, brought it to his lips, and drank it slowly, with a leisurely and enjoyable attitude.

"You won't keep her?"

"I tried to keep her, but I couldn't." Mu Chenan raised his eyebrows, turned his head to meet Mu Yanqing's anxious gaze, and curled his lips: "You also know her stubborn personality. I can't control her."

Mu Yanqing did not doubt the truthfulness of his words. He sat on the sofa and took out his cell phone to contact Qi Yu.

On the other side, Qi Yu lay weakly on the bed in the hotel. He struggled to touch the ringing phone on the bedside table. After answering the call, he suddenly started coughing uncontrollably. It took him a long time before he could speak.

"Big, big brother, what's the matter with you looking for me?"

She could only finish a simple sentence in a halting manner.

Mu Yanqing's heart was in a knot.

This is not good at all, it looks like the cold has gotten worse.

He took the time to glare at Mu Chenan, full of blame, and then said to Qi Yu in a soft voice: "I just happened to be back in China on business, and I came to see you by the way."

In order to prevent Qi Yu from feeling any psychological burden, Mu Yanqing thought of a proper excuse in advance.

Mu Chenan turned the small white porcelain cup with his slender fingers. When he heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.

After a while, before Mu Yanqing had even warmed up his stool, he stood up and decided to meet Qi Yu.

Mu Chenan crossed his legs leisurely and reminded him before he left: "Brother, I have ordered a table of food tonight, remember to come back early."

After going to the United States, Mu Yanqing missed the delicious food in China very much. Perhaps because of the ingredients, it was difficult for the chefs at home there to replicate the authentic Chinese food.

At this time, Mu Yanqing was worried about Qi Yu and didn't take the meal seriously.

“Let’s see.”

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

Mu Chenan stared at the closed door and snorted.

Qi Yu is really capable.

Even a minor illness would make my eldest brother take a flight of more than ten hours from abroad to rush back.

Mu Chenan didn't want to bother with Qi Yu's troubles anymore, so he called Chen Yang to the study, and the two continued to work busily.

-

There were knocks on the door, two light knocks and one heavy knock.

This was the secret code for knocking on the door that Qi Yu and Mu Yanqing had agreed upon when they were young.

She got out of bed, put on her thick coat and went to open the door.

I opened the door and saw the man I hadn't seen for half a year standing outside, looking exhausted.

As time passed, Qi Yu was left with only regrets and no other complicated emotions.

“Brother.”

Mu Yanqing looked at her complexion carefully. She looked pale and haggard, as if she had lost weight.

"Go lie down on the bed."

Qi Yu shook her head, feeling embarrassed to lie back on the bed, so she turned around to pour some water.

Mu Yanqing walked into her room and deliberately left the door open so that anyone passing by could take a peek inside.

She put a few red wolfberries in a glass, added warm water, and after soaking it, she handed it to Mu Yanqing.

He held it without drinking it, and asked with concern: "Are you still having a fever?"

"I don't have a fever anymore, I just have a cough and some weakness in my limbs. I've taken my medicine on time and I should be fine in a few days."

Qi Yu carefully told Mu Yanqing about her physical condition, mainly to reassure him and not to worry too much about her health.

Mu Yanqing still frowned.

"You're clearly sick, so why force yourself? Stay with your second brother, someone will take care of you, and maybe you'll get better faster."

Qi Yu didn't want to trouble others, especially since that person was Mu Chenan.

She just wanted to draw a line between herself and him and could never accept his care with peace of mind.

In addition, Mu Chenan sometimes made a sour face and seemed reluctant, so it was right for her to leave the villa early.

"Brother, it's okay. I'm not completely unattended. My meals these past two days have been nutritious meals prepared by my friends."

“Which friend of yours?”

Qi Yu paused and called out Jiang Yuhuai's name.

"He is also my male partner in recording the show with me."

Mu Yanqing nodded, took a sip of water, and suddenly wanted to meet this person.

"Invite him to dinner tonight."

Qi Yu took a deep breath, his throat felt itchy, and he began to bend over and cough again.

Mu Yanqing walked over worriedly, wanting to pat her on the back, but he raised his hand in the air and then forcibly retracted it.

She turned away and patted her chest to ease the discomfort.

The relationship between Qi Yu and Jiang Yuhuai is at most just friends, not close enough to take him to meet his brother.

After she calmed her breathing, she turned her head and glanced at Mu Yanqing quietly.

His appearance has not changed, he is still as handsome and elegant as before.

But when they met again, the man's temperament contained a kind of difficult to discern depth.

Is the eldest brother worried that she still likes him, so he is anxious to push her to other men?

Qi Yu felt a tightness in his heart, feeling confused and helpless.

She still had to clean up the mess of the farce at the wedding half a year ago by herself.

Finally, she agreed obediently: "Okay, I'll call him over now."
