At Yueting Villa, when Qu Tao and Xi's father walked into the hall under the hospitality of Mu's father, Shi Jun, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up.

"Brother, are you here?"

There had been no news from Shi Jun for several days. When Qu Tao saw Shi Jun able to get out of bed and walk around, he couldn't hide his surprise.

"You've recovered so well? Can you get out of bed?"

"Ah."

In order to get rid of Mu Jingyan's control as soon as possible, Shi Jun has been obediently receiving IV drips and eating on time these days.

The liquid food of the past few days has been replaced with staple food in the past two days.

After a week, except for the pain in his wrist, he can now get out of bed to go to the bathroom by himself and wipe himself with one hand.

It’s just that Mu Jingyan was watching him very strictly, and this was the first time he went downstairs after he was able to get out of bed.

Normally, he was still trapped in the bedroom on the second floor, and even for his meals, the servants would deliver the food upstairs, just like before.

Shi Jun just nodded and was pulled back to the sofa by Mu Jingyan who was sitting next to him.

"You're sitting here talking, but you don't know what your body is like?"

"What do you know? This is politeness. Do you think everyone is the same as you? Disrespectful and disrespectful to elders."

"I'm older than you, and I haven't seen you being polite to me."

"You don't deserve it."

The two of them were bickering in low voices. Due to the distance between them, Qu Tao couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could clearly see the expressions on their faces.

One has a face full of rebelliousness, while the other is serious with an imperceptible doting.

It was dinner time now. When Mu's father learned that they were coming, he prepared the kitchen early and cooked a large table of dishes.

After a few pleasantries, he led them towards the restaurant.

"Come on, if you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk while we eat."

Qu Tao and Xi's father sat on one side of the dining table, facing Shi Jun who was sitting on the other side.

"Why isn't your phone on? I've called you several times, but it keeps saying it's turned off."

"Oh, I didn't bring my phone with me back at the apartment. I guess it's out of battery and turned off?"

When Mu Jingyan heard Qu Tao mention his cell phone, he immediately looked at him with a hint of warning in his eyes.

Qu Tao pretended not to see it and acted surprised.

"Isn't your phone at Mr. Mu's place? How did it get to the apartment?"

"Is my phone with you?" Shi Jun looked at Mu Jingyan, and before Mu Jingyan could say anything, he turned to Qu Tao, "Brother, how did you know that my phone was with him?"

"When you were first hospitalized, I sent you a few text messages, but later I found out that it was Mr. Mu who replied on your behalf."

At this moment, Mu Jingyan really hated Qu Tao's mouth. From the moment he knew Qu Tao was coming, he guessed that something strange was going to happen.

Sure enough, just a few minutes after arriving, the cell phone incident was exposed.

"Why are you holding my phone? Return it to me after dinner."

Shi Jun appeared calm on the surface, and his voice was silent, but in fact, his hand under the table was twisting Mu Jingyan's leg clockwise.

Mu Jingyan frowned and said nothing. Shi Jun saw that Mu's father and Xi's father were drinking and not paying attention to them, so he raised his voice slightly.

"Did you hear me? Give me back my phone after dinner."

When Shi Jun was about to make another counterclockwise circle on Mu Jingyan's thigh, Mu Jingyan held his hand and responded reluctantly.

"Got it, let's eat first."

Now that Shi Jun has a mobile phone, it will be much more convenient for them to contact each other. Qu Tao has achieved his goal and agreed with a smile.

"Yes, eat first, then pick up your phone after you finish eating."

Because there were other people at the table, Qu Tao and Shi Jun didn't say anything more, but just quickened their eating pace.

When Qu Tao didn't move his chopsticks much, Shi Jun put down his chopsticks.

"Brother, are you full? Do you want to go upstairs and chat for a while?"

"What can't be said here? Why do we have to go upstairs?"

Without waiting for Qu Tao to reply, Mu Jingyan put down his chopsticks with an expression as if he had finished eating.

"I haven't settled accounts with you about the cell phone yet, so leave me alone."

After Shi Jun greeted the two elders, he signaled Qu Tao to stand up together. When Mu Jingyan tried to follow, he glared back at him.

"Don't follow us."

"I'll sit aside and not say anything."

"That's not OK."

Mu Jingyan stopped and gritted his teeth: "Okay, you guys chat."

In the bedroom on the second floor, Shi Jun brought Qu Tao in and pressed the secret lock casually.

Qu Tao thought about Mu Jingyan's helpless expression just now and looked at him teasingly.

"He seems to be listening to you now."

"No," Shi Jun wanted to explain something, but then he thought better of it.

It is estimated that he and Mu Jingyan had a blood feud in his previous life. The two of them were like a pair of enemies. Mu Jingyan made trouble around him every day and deliberately angered him.

"Do I still need an IV drip every day?"

"Well, Doctor An said I'm weak and need the IV for a few more days," Shi Jun said, pausing. "I want to get better soon and move out of here soon."

Qu Tao thought about what Mu's father had said, and after watching Mu Jingyan's performance today, he spoke carefully.

"Did Uncle Mu say anything to you alone?"

Shi Jun shook his head, a blank look on his face: "No, what's wrong?"

Since Mr. Mu hasn't contacted Shi Jun yet, Qu Tao couldn't tell him directly what he had heard before, in case it was just Mr. Mu's momentary thought at the time.

However, he felt it was necessary to remind Shi Jun.

"Nothing," Qu Tao replied, and then put on a teasing expression again, "I just noticed at the dinner table that Mu Jingyan is different from before. All he has eyes for is you. While we were eating, he kept helping you pick up food and getting you paper towels."

"If he falls in love with you, or wants to marry you, will you agree?"

Shi Jun refused without any hesitation.

"will not."

"You two have been together for a while, and now you are together every day. Don't you have any feelings for him at all?"

"No."

Qu Tao thought he would refuse, but he didn't expect him to be so decisive and resolute.

Shi Jun looked at the expression on his face and smiled uncomfortably.

"Brother, don't look at me like that. Actually, I have never thought about marrying anyone."

"How can that be possible? It's too lonely to be alone," Qu Tao said, winking at him mischievously. "When you get better, I'll introduce you to some handsome guys."

"No, I like living alone."

Because he will eventually leave and depart from this world.

When Qu Tao left, Shi Jun did not go downstairs again. From the time he went downstairs to eat until now, he had already used up most of his physical strength and energy.

Mu Jingyan did not follow his father to see the guests off, but after seeing Qu Tao coming down from upstairs, he went to the bedroom upstairs as soon as possible.

"What have you two been talking about?"

Shi Jun glanced at him, half-lying on the bed, and answered the question irrelevantly.

"Where's my phone? Give it back to me."

"It's late now. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

"No, I want it now, give it to me quickly."
