Quite awkward

The three people in the restaurant didn't chat for too long. Mu Yanqing took into consideration that Qi Yu was still sick and hoped that she could rest early.

Qi Yu went to the bathroom and returned to the living room, picked up her down jacket and put it on. She planned to leave with Jiang Yuhuai.

But Mu Yanqing leaned against the wall, looked at her for a while, and suddenly walked over and asked: "Ayu, have you ever taken a hot spring bath since you came here?"

Qi Yu shook his head.

When she first arrived, she planned to go to the centralized hot spring pool to experience the hot springs. However, she later caught a bad cold, and in order to avoid infecting others, she gave up the idea.

She stayed in the villa for one night that day. She just took a closer look at the steaming natural hot spring outside the room, then hurriedly took a shower and went to bed, without having the chance to enjoy it.

Mu Yanqing had known about it beforehand.

For patients with colds, soaking in hot springs can help promote blood circulation, improve the body's immunity, and metabolize inflammatory substances.

He stood up straight, speaking in a negotiating tone.

"Let's stay here today. You can soak in the hot springs and have a good sleep."

Jiang Yuhuai was surprised and stood at the door motionless.

The Mu brothers and Qi Yu are non-blood-related siblings with different surnames, so this arrangement is not appropriate.

The next second, Qi Yu smiled and waved her hands, saying no, refusing directly. Jiang Yuhuai nodded in agreement unconsciously.

Adults should still pay attention to the differences between men and women.

Mu Yanqing remained calm and continued, "Ayu, there are plenty of rooms here, and the heating is more comfortable than yours. I'll have breakfast with you tomorrow morning, and then I'll be busy. As for our next meeting, I'm afraid I don't know when it will be."

Jiang Yuhuai, who was silent on the side, saw Qi Yu's expression change a little. He could see that this was the woman's soft heart.

Qi Yu scratched the hair at his temples, which inexplicably aroused a brief feeling of reluctance in his heart.

Finally she nodded slightly and agreed to stay here tonight.

When he was eighteen, Qi Yu had the same experience.

The summer in Linjiang is very hot, so Mu Yanqing plans to take her to Yunnan and Guizhou for a summer vacation and experience the natural scenery and cultural environment there.

He booked a clean and comfortable homestay with a high security factor. The two of them lived on each floor without being disturbed by outsiders.

A few days later, Muchenan suddenly appeared at the door of the B&B.

At that time, he was young and energetic, always putting on a world-weary face, with a lazy and arrogant attitude, cold and a little scary, and completely ignoring people. The neighbors next door thought he was a handsome deaf-mute guy with a good appearance.

He came here on a whim and only did things that interested him, such as hiking, fishing, and photography...

He often disappeared for a whole day and would not be seen again until dinner time.

The three of them lived in harmony in the same house for more than a month, until Qi Yu's freshman year was about to start and they had to return to Linjiang.

……

Jiang Yuhuai felt it was inconvenient to stay any longer, so he left worriedly. After leaving, he sent a message to Qi Yu, reminding her to remember to lock the door before going to bed.

Inside the house, Mu Yanqing glanced at Qi Yu's tired mental state and urged her to go back to her room to rest.

She was very obedient and walked into the room where she had slept before as if she knew the place well.

The housekeeper brought people to clean up the restaurant, and they were very efficient and quickly restored it to its original state.

Mu Yanqing stayed alone in the living room for a while, looked at the time in the United States, and remembered to call Xu Nianhan back via video.

Xu Nianhan answered the call quickly.

Two people who had never been separated after marriage were suddenly separated across borders. The husband acted casual and comfortable, but the wife was very uncomfortable.

Xu Nianhan said aggrievedly: "Yanqing, please come back early. You didn't sleep next to me last night, and I couldn't sleep."

"Okay, my flight is tomorrow at noon, so you just have to be patient for one more night." Mu Yanqing comforted him in a gentle voice.

After dealing with an unexpected crisis, Muchenan suddenly felt thirsty. He walked out of the study to pour some water and happened to hear the couple's sticky conversation.

He smiled and didn't interrupt.

After drinking the water, I returned to the living room. Mu Yanqing had already hung up the video. He turned around and said slowly, "Ayu is staying here tonight."

Mu Chenan's mouth twitched, but he didn't comment on this matter. He sat casually on the corner of the sofa and looked at his phone.

The two brothers had nothing to talk about. Mu Yanqing glanced at the tea set on the coffee table and asked for a cup of hot tea, but he didn't know how to operate it.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenan stood up, pressed the button, washed the cup, and added tea leaves.

"Jiang Yuhuai just brought a box of tea. Can I try it?" Mu Yanqing asked casually.

"Need not."

He despises inferior goods.

While waiting for tea, Mu Yanqing took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"What do you think of Jiang Yuhuai?"

Mu Chen paused for a moment and replied, "Not very good."

I couldn't help myself and said one more thing: "Why are you in such a hurry to find a man for Qi Yu?"

Mu Yanqing's face darkened, and he sternly corrected him, "I don't have such thoughts. Whoever Qi Yu wants to date is her freedom, and I won't interfere. It's just that I think Jiang Yuhuai is a good person, so I invited him to dinner today. I also hope that if Qi Yu encounters difficulties in Beicheng in the future, he, as a friend, can come forward to lend a hand."

Mu Chenan lowered his eyes slightly, feeling speechless, and almost dropped the cup.

"Brother, Qi Yu is an adult in her twenties. She can be independent. You don't have to always think about finding someone to take care of her."

Mu Yanqing rolled his eyes at him and said strangely, "If you can take care of her, why would I need to find someone else?"

Mu Chenan suddenly felt that this was a trap and stopped talking. He didn't want to take over Qi Yu's trouble.

Maybe he was wrong. The eldest brother had no intention of bringing the two together. He just happened to invite them to have a meal. There was no other intention.

He stopped to think, and couldn't help but feel that his reaction was a bit too intense.

Qi Yu is really a troublemaker.

Place the cups and pour in fragrant hot tea. White mist rises and the room suddenly becomes quiet.

"Brother, take your time drinking your tea. I'm going back to my room first."

Mu Yanqing nodded lightly, drank some tea to refresh himself, and took out his laptop to deal with work matters in the United States.
