CH 5

After fainting in the Rong’s house, Mu Xiaoke was also remembered by the Rong family. For them, Mu Xiaoke is a skinny little boy. A person who was timid, incompetent, and even unable to speak.

There are many chat groups for the children in Fenglin Yuan. Mu Xiaoke saw them talking about him in the group. Even if someone reminded them that the main person was also in the group, many people were not afraid. His older brother was right on his side when they were talking about him, acting out a good show of brotherly love.

However, Mu Xiaoke is no longer the same as before. If Mu Kai treats him well, he obediently follows Mu Kai. He blocks all irrelevant chat groups and still avoids Mu Kai at home. He doesn’t even want to go downstairs to have a meal with Mu Kai. He wrote his resistance clearly on his face. Mu Kai, on the other hand, had even more excuses to pretend to be weak in front of Fu Jiayun and Rong Yanzhe, slandering his younger brother for being ignorant and ungrateful.

If it was Mu Xiaoke from the previous life, he would have been so angry that he would have rushed to Mu Kai and stammered with his non-fluent voice to argue with Mu Kai. Their argument was messy and noisy, so that he looked more like a despicable clown in front of Fu Jiayun and Rong Yanzhe.

But after being reborn, Mu Xiaoke knew that there was no need to explain to the two men who favored the other person. They didn’t like him at all, and it was in vain for him to rack his brains to make himself overwhelmed with worries. Now, what Mu Xiaoke wants is that they all hate him to the point where they don’t want to talk to him. It is best that none of them come to approach him.

Soon, Mu Kai and Fu Jiayun will start school. The No. 1 Middle School they are attending is the top school in the city. This school has a very strict rule that the senior 3 students must live in school regardless of their distance.

In other words, Mu Kai and the other person won’t stay here.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoke accidentally laughed when sending Mu Kai to the car.

“What are you laughing at?” Rong Yanzhe abruptly said. Mu Xiaoke was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.

Mu Xiaoke looked at Rong Yanzhe in horror, his round deer eyes looked innocent and pitiful, but Mu Xiaoke didn’t dare to put his eyes on Rong Yanzhe for too long. Rong Yanzhe hated his eyes in the previous life, and even when he was in bed, he said that he wanted to dig out his eyes so that he could no longer pretend to be pitiful.

Mu Xiaoke lowered his head and did nothing. His sign language was something Rong Yanzhe won’t understand, not to mention that their thinking is very different. Why bother to talk like chickens and ducks[1]?

Seeing that his young son was as afraid of Rong Yanzhe which is the same as a frightened bird, Father Mu had a bad feeling in his heart, “Don’t stand still, your brother doesn’t need you to send him. Go back to the house.”

Mu Xiaoke immediately turned around and didn’t linger.

Mu Kai looked at his younger brother like a little chicken and sneered in his heart, but his face still showed grievances, “Xiao Ke still doesn’t like to get close to me. Dad, please help me ask if he misunderstood me?”

Father Mu patted Mu Kai on the shoulder, “If there is any previous hatred between the two of you, you don’t have to worry about him. He is not a child who holds a grudge. In a few days you aren’t here, he will be looking for you. You can go to school with peace of mind and call whenever you want.”

Mu Kai agreed, and Fu Jiayun said, “Uncle, then we will set off.”

“Okay, be careful on the way.”

Because Fu Jiayun and Mu Kai were in the same class, and the school was only ten kilometers away from home, the Fu family sent a car to send the two children to school, eliminating the need for both families to run back and forth.

When Mu Xiaoke went back to the house, her aunt happened to have made some biscuits. When she saw Mu Xiaoke, she called him, “Xiao Ke, come and have some snacks. You haven’t eaten breakfast, so you can’t run around.”

Mu Xiaoke obediently went over and took two pieces. He smelled it cautiously twice. There was no strong milky smell or sweetness, so he ate it slowly.

The aunt kept looking at his expression to see if he was willing to eat, and finally laughed, “Look, your taste has changed recently. I didn’t dare to put too much sugar on this thing. Is it delicious?”

Mu Xiaoke was a little moved. Although he is no longer a child and has no special preferences, there is someone who pays so much attention to him and cares about him. Even if this person is just a nanny who is not related by blood, he feels happy. He smiled obediently, then nodded to thank the aunt.

After eating something, Mu Xiaoke wanted to go out. These days, in order to avoid Mu Kai, he always hid in his room, but it was really bad to stay in a narrow space for a long time, especially when he had been imprisoned. So he packed his schoolbag early and planned to get some fresh air when his older brother left.

His father sent Mu Kai already. Mu Xiaoke was sure that his older brother had left, so he excitedly carried his small school bag and went out.

When he rushed out of the iron gate, he still had a smile on his face. Suddenly, a large hand suddenly yanked his school bag and dragged him away as he crashed directly into the man’s chest.

Mu Xiaoke’s smile was broken, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Rong Yanzhe!

He was so scared that he jumped three feet away, but the strap of his school bag was immediately grabbed.

Mu Xiaoke frowned and looked at Rong Yanzhe. He didn’t understand why this person was still at his doorstep, let alone why he started targeting him again! He still felt fear of Rong Yanzhe, and he had no confidence that he could fight Rong Yanzhe, who was taller and tougher than him.

“You’re happy that your brother went to school, huh?” Rong Yanzhe looked down at him.

Mu Xiaoke knew that he was going to blame him again. He trembled involuntarily, but his hand still held his school bag tightly. After taking a few deep breaths, he began to pull his school bag hard.

Rong Yanzhe was obviously surprised and refused to let go, “Mu Xiaoke!”

This name and surname hurt Mu Xiaoke’s heart, Rong Yanzhe was angry… No, he can’t be afraid, he can’t be like in the past, he can’t be at the mercy of Rong Yanzhe, he doesn’t want to die!

Mu Xiaoke suddenly slammed into Rong Yanzhe and knocked him away. Rong Yanzhe was caught off guard and fell into the grass. Mu Xiaoke hurriedly grabbed his school bag and ran away without looking back.

Mu Xiaoke ran non-stop for several minutes, and then ran to the West District Garden near Rong’s house. Mu Xiaoke looked around at a loss. This area of green plants grew very densely. Because it was too dense, the elderly and children in the community didn’t like it, so gradually no one came here for a walk.

Mu Xiaoke hesitated whether to go in. He had struggled in the uninhabited forest for a few days in his previous life. It would be a lie to say that there was no shadow in the past when he encountered this dense forest, but after a while he heard Rong Yanzhe’s voice. He didn’t care about anything else, so he broke in.

Mu Xiaoke walked into the depths, the sunlight became less and less, and his heartbeat became faster and faster. He didn’t dare to continue walking. He clutched his school bag, he couldn’t go in and he couldn’t get out.

“You’re being sought outside?”

Suddenly there was a voice from behind, and Mu Xiaoke was so terrified that he almost fainted.

Fortunately, the other person caught him so that he didn’t fall on the ground.

The other person is a young man, wearing casual clothes, with tall and long legs, and his appearance is comparable to that of a TV star, with sword eyebrows, and handsome.

“Are you okay?”

The other person asked him softly. Mu Xiaoke didn’t know why his eyes were a little hot. It turned out that there was such a gentleman in this world, or a man who could be so gentle to him.

“Your name is Mu Xiaoke?”

Mu Xiaoke nodded, raised his head and tried to smile. Then he took out his notebook and began to write, “Sorry, I disturbed you.”

The other person smiled slightly, and looked at him very gently, as if he was treating a child, “Why did you apologize to me, I scared you.” After that, the other person bowed slightly close to him and looked at him face to face, “You don’t want to be found by him, do you?”

Mu Xiaoke nodded slowly, and the other person pointed to an alley in front of him, it was a small junction that he had just missed. “I just came from there, to Gate 2 of the West District.”

Mu Xiaoke’s eyes lit up and he immediately wrote, “Thank you!” He walked over excitedly, and before turning into the small dense forest, he couldn’t help but look back.

The young man noticed his gaze and cast a puzzled look at him. He pursed his lips and smiled. He bowed his head to thank him again.
