Mint

Xie Ran went back to Xie's house, but he didn't alarm anyone, as if he just went out for fun, and now he was tired of playing, he was carried back by his brother and placed in the inner house.

Jiang Mu is indeed covering the sky with one hand now, Xie’s house is very quiet, he carried Xie Ran upstairs in a bright and aboveboard manner, under the black coat, Xie Ran’s whole body was naked, his delicate skin was covered with red fingerprints and spots Reddish bite marks.

Xie Ran could only bury his face on Jiang Mu's shoulder, like a newborn chick, pretending that he didn't see anything.

But his eyes were red, his lips were broken, and even his ankles were pinched. Anyone could see what happened to him at a glance.

When Jiang Mu carried him to take a bath, he dragged him to do it again in the bathroom, resting his head with his hand.

Xie Ran couldn't cry anymore, begging him to be softer with a hoarse voice.

He didn't do much when he was done, but Jiang Mu's hand was rubbed red by the bathroom wall.

Jiang Mu glanced at him and put his hand to his mouth.

Xie Ran's face turned red, and he scolded Jiang Mu for being abnormal, but obediently stuck out his bright red tongue, licking the back of Jiang Mu's red hand like a cat.

Not knowing if it was his illusion, Jiang Mu seemed to smile.

Jiang Mu warmed milk for him before going to bed, Xie Ran took a sip, put some honey in it, sweet and warm.

And Jiang Mu still sat by the bed with that expressionless face, holding a book in his hand that gave him a headache just reading it, and told him to brush his teeth after drinking the milk.

Until the lights were turned off and he went to bed, Xie Ran couldn't figure out whether Jiang Mu was angry or not. He curled up on the bed timidly, with his head far away from Jiang Mu and his feet next to Jiang Mu.

Before going to bed, Jiang Mu caught him and kissed him again and again, his face was still cold under the warm light, but the way he was holding Xie Ran's face seemed to be holding some rare treasure.

Xie Ran heard him say, "You sneaked out for less than an hour, and I knew where you were. I thought you would run a little further."

Xie Ran stared at him blankly.

"I could have brought you back earlier, but I want you to see what it's like outside."

Jiang Mu touched Xie Ran's face, the pleasant smell of peppermint wrapped Xie Ran up, making his heart feel cold.

"You can't live without me, but you can't go anywhere except by my side."

Jiang Mu's expression can be described as gentle, "As long as you are under my nose, you can't find any job, nor can you rent any room. No one will dare to help you, and no one will dare to send you abroad. .”

"So stop making trouble, but. What's wrong with being around me?"

"Go to sleep." He leaned over and kissed Xie Ran again.

But Xie Ran couldn't fall asleep, he knew that the escape he tried so hard might just be a stubborn resistance.

Unexpectedly, in Jiang Mu's eyes, even a resistance was not counted, at most, the door was not closed properly, and the pet cat slipped out for a while, and it was enough to catch it back.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Mu's face, Jiang Mu who was asleep was a little less aggressive than in the daytime, and his long hair was loose and softer.

Xie Ran often saw Jiang Mu's sleeping face. Before they broke their faces, he would crawl into Jiang Mu's bed with his pillow in his arms when he couldn't sleep at night. Throwing himself into Jiang Mu's arms.

Jiang Mu frowned and looked at him, but he didn't panic at all, and leaned forward and smacked Jiang Mu's face.

Thinking of the past, Xie Ran's heart felt a little bitter, and he didn't know what kind of mood Jiang Mu used to put up with him at that time.

There is even a tattoo on Jiang Mu's back that few people have seen, it was done on Xie Ran's 16th birthday.

The pattern is Xie Ran's word Ran, which is surrounded by a circle of moon and river water.

When he had just finished getting the tattoo, Xie Ran poked and played curiously, asking why he got this tattoo.

Jiang Mu touched his head, "Because Ranran is my baby."
