CH 27

Chu Han’s few words finally made Mu Xiaoke’s uneasiness completely dissipate. Mu Xiaoke secretly rejoiced that Chu Han was not such a cold person, and he still cared about him.

And this gave Mu Xiaoke a magical sense of security. Obviously, this person is not around, but as long as he knows that this person understands his heart and knows that this person will support him. He can feel the strength given to him by the other party even if he is thousands of miles away.No one has ever been able to give him this feeling, but Chu Han can give it to him with just a few words.

The more Mu Xiaoke thought about it, the happier he became. The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn’t be restrained, and he rolled on the sofa foolishly and turned around, inexplicably a bit like a star-chaser girl getting a reply from an idol.

Mu Xiaoke couldn’t hold back his joy. Even though Chu Han had already told him sweet dreams, he still sent another message: “Teacher, how are you? I’m very happy today. Luo Jiaming brought a lot of friends to celebrate my birthday with me, I have never been so happy. I didn’t expect you to remember my birthday and prepare such a precious thing for me, I’m so happy, so happy.”

Chu Han quickly replied, A head-touching emoji was sent, and Mu Xiaoke could almost imagine Chu Han’s expression now. In fact, he had already discovered that Chu Han especially liked to rub his head, like rubbing a small animal, teasing him like teasing a kitten. But it doesn’t matter, he can feel that Chu Han just treats him as a child, not disrespecting him, so he is used to being rubbed on the head.

Mu Xiaoke snickered, and Chu Han sent another sentence: “Go to sleep, I’m going to class.”

Mu Xiaoke then remembered that it was still daytime in the country where Chu Han was, and there was more than ten hours time difference between them.

“Okay, I’m going to bed!”

So this night, Mu Xiaoke still slept with his mobile phone in his arms, but his face was full of smiles.

On the next day, Mu Xiaoke finally remembered to ask Luo Jiaming what happened to his birthday surprise.

Luo Jiaming laughed at him, “Now you finally remember the hard work of the middleman. Yesterday, your eyes narrowed while laughing.”

Mu Xiaoke was extremely embarrassed, “I was a little excited at the time…”

“Oh, I won’t tease you anymore. In fact, I only received the news from Teacher Chu after he left, and yesterday the handsome guy in the suit called me after class and asked where we were. In short, everything is so natural! It’s just that I didn’t expect that Teacher Chu would spoil you so much, and go all the way to find an antique for you.”

Mu Xiaoke couldn’t help blushing, wondering why he was so happy for no reason. However, no matter who it is, it will be very happy to receive such thoughtfulness and care. Whether it is Chu Han or Luo Jiaming, they are so serious about helping him celebrate his birthday, which is a precious gift for Mu Xiaoke. “Thank you, I am also very happy with the party you prepared for me.”

Luo Jiaming saw him like this, and those big round eyes just looked at him like this, she couldn’t help it and rubbed Mu Xiaoke’s head fiercely.

“No wonder Teacher Chu likes rubbing so much, it feels so good!”

Mu Xiaoke silently moved his head away to prevent himself from being trampled on again.

“Ah, Xiaoke, this distinction is too obvious. Teacher Chu has rubbed it so many times, so I will rub it once!”

Mu Xiaoke laughed and ran away.

On the weekend after his birthday, Mu Xiaoke received a new order. The clients were three Coser girls who were going to participate in a Hanfu event at the end of the year. Mu Xiaoke went to search on Weibo for the three young ladies and found that they were also well-known celebrities in the circle. Mu Xiaoke couldn’t help being happy. So he sent a message to Chu Han immediately, but he didn’t realize until after sending it that it was late at night in Chu Han’s country.

He reluctantly put down his phone and started making design drawings.

Not long after, it was lunchtime, and Mu Xiaoke, who ate on time and couldn’t go hungry, went to cook immediately.

He is now a little chef who can feed himself. Not only can he feed himself, but he can also occasionally cook some complicated dishes. This makes children who live alone not only not feel lonely eating alone, but also enjoy it, especially the moment when they finally succeed in making delicious food.

Mu Xiaoke brought out the fragrant noodles and was about to turn on the TV to watch the news when the doorbell rang.

Mu Xiaoke was a little stupify, he hasn’t bought new materials recently, and he hasn’t ordered takeaway. He walked to the porch and gently opened the cat’s eye. The man outside scared Mu Xiaoke terribly. It was Rong Yanzhe!

(TN: Cat’s eye is a peephole that you install on your door.)

Rong Yanzhe obviously noticed that Mu Xiaoke was looking into the cat’s eyes, so he shouted: “Open the door!”

Mu Xiaoke immediately covered the cat’s eyes too, what difference is there between opening the door and committing suicide? Don’t open it, absolutely don’t open it!

Rong Yanzhe leaned his ear against the door, but he couldn’t hear a sound. He suddenly remembered that Mu Xiaoke couldn’t speak. For some reason, thinking of Mu Xiaoke’s inability to speak, Rong Yanzhe’s heart tightened for a while, and his voice became gentle: “Xiao Ke, open the door.”

Mu Xiaoke turned around and walked away. His face is getting cold, and he didn’t want to tangle with the black-faced spirit outside.

To be honest, Mu Xiaoke was separated from Rong Yanzhe by a password-locked steel anti-theft door. The fear in Mu Xiaoke’s heart was so small that it was almost negligible. The fragrance of noodles on the coffee table made him drool. He is also not worried about disturbing the neighbors, because so far, his new neighbors have not appeared.

“Mu Xiaoke!”

Rong Yanzhe was so angry at the sound of the TV inside. He really didn’t expect Mu Xiaoke to be so courageous as to ignore him. Recently, City Y was extremely cold. On the big weekend, he especially got up early and came here from the university town, but was turned away!

Mu Xiaoke ate seriously while watching the noon and then took the dishes and chopsticks to wash. The shouting outside the door had long since disappeared, and Mu Xiaoke was not surprised at all.

After eating, he took a nap for a while before packing up and going to cram school.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that more than an hour had passed since Rong Yanzhe knocked on the door, and Rong Yanzhe was still in the community. When he reached the lobby on the first floor, Rong Yanzhe caught him.

“Mu Xiaoke, you really impress me.” Rong Yanzhe said through gritted teeth.

Mu Xiaoke shook off his hand, took a few steps back, and stood far away, “What are you doing?”

“Take you home!” Rong Yanzhe said firmly.  As for Mu Xiaoke’s mobile phone, really wanted to smash it, but Mu Xiaoke didn’t even have a chance to speak.……

Mu Xiaoke was terrified, but Rong Yanzhe suddenly calmed down, and when he spoke again, his tone was gentle: “My parents have something to ask you, please cooperate and don’t be so stubborn.”

Why cooperate? Why do I need to cooperate? there is no good person in your Rong family! 

Mu Xiaoke stared at Rong Yanzhe,  and his emotions were revealed in his eyes, which made Rong Yanzhe very puzzled. Rong Yanzhe didn’t want to understand how their family offended Mu Xiaok; not only him, but even his parents were so unreliable in Mu Xiaoke’s heart. Not only that but also Fu Jiayun. Fu Jiayun said that his number has been blocked by Mu Xiaoke. Even if Fu Jiayun repeatedly contacted him, Mu Xiaoke had no intention of easing the relationship.

“Mu Xiaoke, you make it clear today. Why do you hate me so much?”

“I can’t tell.” Mu Xiaoke refused to communicate.

“I don’t know if you don’t want to go anywhere today.” Rong Yanzhe became angry, hugged his chest, and said harsh words.

Mu Xiaoke bowed his head to type, Rong Yanzhe thought he was typing for himself, so he waited patiently.

However, what he didn’t expect was that Mu Xiaoke put away his phone after typing, and stood there completely turning his face away from him.

“Mu Xiaoke!” 

The two men were deadlocked for a few minutes, and an adult man rushed in. When he saw Mu Xiaoke, he shouted, “Xiaoke, the teacher is here!”

Rong Yanzhe was stunned. What teacher? What happened?

Mu Xiaoke immediately took this opportunity to rush to his teacher. That’s right, he was in contact with his tutor just now. The training institution was just a few steps away from his home, and the tutor came to save him without saying a word.

(TN: what he means by training institution is a cram school.)

“It’s okay, let’s go, the class time is coming, and the other two students are waiting for you.” The teacher didn’t talk to Rong Yanzhe and ran away with Mu Xiaoke.

Rong Yanzhe was left standing there alone in the lobby, looking a little funny.

After the class, the make-up teacher couldn’t help asking: “Xiao Ke, you still have to be careful in the future. There are so many bad guys now. Even if you are a boy, you should pay attention to safety. Call the teacher if you are in that situation like today.”

Mu Xiaoke wanted to laugh a little, Rong Yanzhe was treated as a gangster, “Understood. thank you, teacher.”

The teacher waved his hand, “Go back and be careful.” 

When Mu Xiaoke returned home, he saw his father standing at the door. He didn’t know what to say at the moment. Since the last fight, he hasn’t had good communication with his father.

When Mu Xiangyang saw him coming back, he quickly said, “Why is the password wrong? My fingerprints are invalid. Have you changed the password?”

Mu Xiaoke nodded. The password and fingerprints were deleted, and the re-entered unlocking order only had his and the hourly worker’s aunt’s fingerprints.

Mu Xiaoke opened the door, let Mu Xiangyang in, and then typed: “Someone in the community was stolen a while ago, so I changed the password.”

Mu Xiangyang nodded without asking any more questions and then walked directly to Mu Xiaoke’s workbench. There were still unfinished materials on it. Mu Xiangyang gently picked it up and looked at it for a moment, then put it down again.

“If you really like making hairpins, I won’t stop you, but you have to promise your father that you can’t fall behind in your studies.”

Mu Xiaoke was stunned and fixedly looked at Mu Xiangyang.

Mu Xiangyang sighed, and lightly patted Mu Xiaoke’s shoulder, “Xiao Ke, don’t mention the past…”

Mu Xiaoke looked into Mu Xiangyang’s eyes and finally gave in. Knowing that he will no longer provoke his father with his mother’s affairs, and his father will no longer criticize his life too much.

“Let’s go, accompany Dad to meet the guests.”

Mu Xiaoke was taken aback, and quickly asked in sign language, “What guest?”

“The Rong family.”

Mu Xiaoke frowned, his eyes full of rejection. Mu Xiangyang had long suspected that Rong Yanzhe and the others might be the real culprits that caused Mu Xiaoke to have another psychological problem, and Mu Xiaoke’s current behavior confirmed this suspicion even more.

“Dad knows you don’t like them, but you still have to eat this meal. Daddy will be by your side. Don’t be afraid.”

Mu Xiaoke took a deep breath and finally endured it.

When he arrived at the place, Mu Xiaoke immediately saw Rong Yanzhe waiting for someone on the first floor of the hotel. When Rong Yanzhe saw Mu Xiaoke, he showed him a smug smile. Didn’t he hide from me? I’ll pick you up at the door, but you don’t want to. Isn’t he obediently delivered to his door now?

Rong Yanzhe greeted Mu Xiangyang with an evil smile on his face, “Uncle Mu, you are finally here, but you made us wait.”

Mu Xiangyang said slightly apologetically: “It’s more important for Xiao Ke to go to class, I’m sorry.”

Rong Yanzhe was taken aback and put away the smile on his face, “Upstairs, please.” 

The Rong family booked a room upstairs, and the waiter opened the door for them. After entering, the first thing Mu Xiaoke saw was not Rong Yanzhe’s parents, but a man in a suit sitting next to them! That was the man who helped Chu Han give him a gift that day!

Mu Xiaoke was stunned, but when the other party saw his eyes, he immediately laughed and then shook his head slightly.

The Rong family hurriedly greeted them, “Mr. Mu is here, why is Xiao Ke still carrying a schoolbag, haha, sit down quickly.”

Mu Xiaoke immediately put away his gaze and followed Mu Xiangyang to sit opposite Rong Yanzhe’s parents.

And Rong Yanzhe unceremoniously sat on Mu Xiaoke’s right side, blocking the body of the man in the suit as soon as he sat down, showing a threatening smile at Mu Xiaoke.

Mu Xiaoke was startled, Rong Yanzhe saw that little move just now!

“He just got out of cram school, so I brought him here directly. I’m sorry to keep you guys waiting.” Mu Xiangyang pulled Mu Xiaoke’s schoolbag to make it easier for him to put it. Mu Xiangyang looked at the down jacket that Mu Xiaoke was wearing and continued to smile: “The weather is getting colder and his hands and feet are also clumsy.”

Mu Xiaoke nodded, echoing his father.

“Hey, Yanzhe, take care of your younger brother. Don’t be such an adult. You can’t even learn to be considerate. How can you find a partner in the future?”

Rong Yanzhe’s mother Shao Yuzhen suddenly said this, Rong Yanzhe suddenly got the opportunity to do something to Mu Xiaoke, and almost became excited.

Then Mu Xiaoke moved faster, quickly took off his coat, moved his butt, and avoided Rong Yanzhe’s hand.

Seeing this, Shao Yuzhen joked, “Xiao Ke is different from before. He is shy now.”

Mu Xiaoke laughed.

Rong Yanzhe’s father, Rong Zhao, smoothed things over, pointed at the man in the suit, and said, “Xiao Ke, this is brother Lin Jun. You can ask him for help if you need anything in the future, okay?”

Mu Xiaoke looked at Lin Jun. Lin Jun nodded, “Hello, Xiaoke.”

Mu Xiaoke also nodded, and the doubts in his heart became even bigger. Why did Lin Jun have anything to do with the Rong family? Does the Rong family have such relatives?

“Mr. Rong, you are very optimistic about Mr. Lin recently. I heard that Mr. Lin is responsible for the recent business?”

“Hey, the people cultivated by the old man are of course not bad. Mr. Lin, you can come to eat at home when you have nothing to do in the future, you know?”

“Thank you, Mr. Rong.”

“By the way, Xiao Ke, I heard that recently you have an intern teacher with a good education. Do you have a chance to introduce him to us? Your Uncle Rong’s company is now in need of talents.”

Mu Xiaoke immediately understood that they were coming for Chu Han!
