CH 49

Mu Xiaoke drank alcohol for the first time. Although the alcohol content was not high, it still made him feel a little hungover the next day.

Chu Han went into Mu Xiaoke’s room with a glass of water to look at him and saw that he was pressing his head in a daze.

Chu Han stretched out his hand when he sat down, took his hand, and massaged his temple, “What’s the matter, do you have a headache?”

Mu Xiaoke nodded and looked at him with a bit of complaint as if he was being coquettish. Chu Han smiled and rubbed his face, “Good boy, drink some hot honey water.” Chu Han held the water glass, and did not pass the glass to Mu Xiaoke, but planned to feed him like this.

Mu Xiaoke didn’t realize this, so he obediently opened his mouth and drank. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Han’s face so close to him, his face suddenly became hot, and he quickly grabbed the cup and drank it himself.

“Still shy. When you leaned on my back last night, I didn’t see it at all.”

Mu Xiaoke stopped drinking, covered his face with his hands, and gestured imposingly, “I won’t drink anymore!”

At noon, Mu Xiaoke finally got up and left the room. Chu Han was busy with his own affairs on the sofa with his laptop. Seeing him coming out, he asked, “Are you hungry?” 

Mu Xiaoke nodded. In the morning, he drank some honey water in a daze and coped with it. He must eat at noon, he gestured: “Eat dumplings, auntie made a lot of dumplings and put them in the refrigerator.”

Chu Han put down the things in his hands and went to the kitchen with him, “I’ll cook it.”

Mu Xiaoke is not polite to Chu Han either. Anyway, after getting along for so many years, as long as Chu Han comes back, Chu Han will take care of him like this. He is used to it.

Chu Han went to cook, while Mu Xiaoke sat in the bar next to him and played with his mobile phone, checking his several website accounts for private messages. In the summer vacation of these few months, he will definitely continue to help Fengyan Studio and then complete the customization owed before.

To the university…he looked up at Chu Han, thinking that Chu Han was about to graduate, and if Chu Han came back after graduation, he would definitely want Chu Han to live in his home, but he was going to college…”If I go to university, what should I do when you come back?” Mu Xiaoke asked in a voice.

Chu Han didn’t look back, and simply replied: “Then I will visit you often, or you often come back during vacations.” 

“What’s the difference between that and now?”

Mu Xiaoke was a little unhappy. He didn’t seem to realize that there was something wrong with his idea of pestering Chu Han every day, but he was not very happy when he thought that he would have to be separated for a long time before they could meet.

Chu Han came over with the cooked fried noodles and looked down at him. The two were so close that Mu Xiaoke could almost count Chu Han’s eyelashes. Chu Han seemed to be smiling, and looked straight into his eyes, “What’s the matter, are you upset?”

Mu Xiaoke’s heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and he quickly withdrew, “You are teasing me again!”

Chu Han laughed and rubbed Mu Xiaoke’s head, “Don’t worry about me, I hope you can be free. Your dreams are more important than our reunion.”

Mu Xiaoke stared at him blankly, freedom, dreams… these are all things he wanted in his last life. Things that he dare not think about since he married Rong Yanzhe, these two words have completely disappeared from his life.

But Chu Han told him that his dreams and freedom are more important things than the meeting between them.

Mu Xiaoke’s eyes were red, and he was even more moved when he thought of all the things Chu Han had done for him in the past three years. Chu Han protected him from being bullied by his classmates, supported him in handicrafts, and accompanied him through this long and lonely high school journey. Thinking back to the scenes that happened with Chu Han in the past, he couldn’t believe that this really happened to him and that he received so much love and protection.

This is what he once wanted, and in this life, someone is finally willing to give it to him!

Mu Xiaoke cried, crying uncontrollably.

Chu Han panicked, and quickly went around the bar and hugged Mu Xiaoke into his arms, “Why are you crying? Xiao Ke?” Chu Han held Mu Xiaoke’s face in his hands, and hurriedly wiped away the tears on Mu Xiaoke’s face, but the child’s tears fell faster than he wiped them. He was very distressed and secretly regretted teasing Mu Xiaoke so much. He had no good words to say so, he decided to tease him a little. As result, it made the little ancestor cry, and he was the one who felt uncomfortable.

Mu Xiaoke held his hands tightly and pressed them on his face. He wanted to hold him, hold him, and touch him with such generous palms. These hands could bring him an endless sense of security. Mu Xiaoke couldn’t bear to let go.

Seeing Mu Xiaoke’s expression, Chu Han suddenly realized that Mu Xiaoke was not angry and crying because of his teasing, but something he said that touched Mu Xiaoke.

Chu Han didn’t dare to relax in the slightest. Mu Xiaoke never talked to him about his past, why did he lose the ability to speak, why did he break up with his family, and why was he so afraid of Rong Yanzhe and his cousin?

Mu Xiaoke never explained these questions.

He wanted to find clues from Mu Xiaoke’s gaffe at this time. If the Cousins’ Rong Yanzhe really hurt Mu Xiaoke, he would help Mu Xiaoke get revenge at all costs.

Being looked at by Chu Han like this, Mu Xiaoke held back his tears little by little. He lowered his head in embarrassment, but Chu Han didn’t let him hide like this. He lifted his chin and helped him wipe away the tears on his face little by little.

Mu Xiaoke’s heart beat faster, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

“Xiao Ke! Are you at home!”

Mu Xiangyang’s voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Mu Xiaoke got up quickly and looked at Chu Han in panic. Chu Han asked him to wash his face, “I’ll open it.”

Mu Xiaoke froze for a moment, how could this work?

“It’s more convenient for me to explain, it’s okay.”

Indeed, Chu Han can speak, so perhaps his explanation is more accurate.

When Chu Han opened the door, Mu Xiangyang did not expect a second person to appear in his son’s house.

“Who are you?!”

Chu Han smiled, “Mr. Mu is so forgetful. I am Xiao Ke’s intern teacher in her first year of high school, Chu Han. Please come in, Xiao Ke is inside.”

It was probably because Chu Han was too upright, and he spoke too righteously. Mu Xiangyang came in after a moment of stupefaction. After entering, Mu Xiangyang suddenly recovered, no, even if Chu Han is Mu Xiaoke’s intern teacher, so what, how to explain it that a trainee teacher showing up at a student’s home years after the trainee period??

Mu Xiaoke walked to the living room with a glass of water, and Chu Han invited Mu Xiangyang to sit down. Mu Xiangyang put down the things he brought over, and was really in no mood to sit down, “Xiao Ke, what’s the situation?”

Mu Xiaoke looked at Chu Han, and Chu Han began to explain to Mu Xiangyang: “Xiao Ke and I have always kept in touch. I am worried about his college entrance examination, so I have come back to see him these two days.”

Mu Xiangyang looked at Mu Xiaoke in surprise, and Mu Xiaoke nodded, that is indeed the case.

Mu Xiangyang looked at the furnishings in the house, there were obvious traces of two people living together, and he felt uneasy, “You… live in our house?

“Well, I’m still studying abroad and when I came back to China, I cheekily live in Xiao Ke’s house.” Mu Xiangyang couldn’t help looking at Chu Han when he heard the extra stress on ‘Xiaoke’s house’, wondering whether this boy was intentional or unintentional.

However, Chu Han maintained an elegant smile without any extra expressions.

“Xiao Ke lives alone. It’s actually not very safe. If there are more people at home from time to time, it will guarantee Xiao Ke’s safety. Mr. Mu, don’t you think so?” 

Mu Xiangyang determined that Chu Han knew what was happening in Mu’s family and deliberately came to deal with him.

“Xiao Ke, don’t let anyone live in the house casually.” Mu Xiangyang got up unceremoniously.

However, Mu Xiaoke stood before Chu Han and gestured to Mu Xiangyang, “This house is mine. I can let whoever I want to live in it. He is a good man and always takes care of me.” 

Mu Xiangyang looked at the two of them displeasedly, “Xiao Ke, do you really not put me, your father, in your eyes anymore!”

Mu Xiaoke looked at Mu Xiangyang stubbornly, unwilling to give in, “Dad, I’m an adult, and I have the right to decide what to do with my house.”

Chu Han patted Mu Xiaoke’s shoulder lightly, “Mr. Mu, you didn’t come here today to quarrel with Xiaoke, did you? You, father and son, don’t have to quarrel because of me, but Xiaoke and I are very good friends. It’s not unacceptable for me to stay, right?”

Mu Xiangyang calmed down immediately, and looked at Mu Xiaoke, “You have finished the college entrance examination, so go home and live there. Don’t continue to live here.”

Mu Xiaoke directly refused, “Dad, you don’t have to come to me about this anymore. I’ve already made it very clear.” 

“You really don’t plan to go home?” He had expected this result, but he really didn’t want to believe that Mu Xiaoke would be so cruel.

Mu Xiaoke nodded, and Mu Xiangyang gritted his teeth, “Then give me the account book, and I’ll take it back.”

When Mu Xiaoke signed up for the college entrance examination, he asked Mu Xiangyang for the account book, but he never sent it back, and there was no need to use this certificate at home, so he kept it in Mu Xiaoke’s hands.

When Mu Xiaoke heard this, he immediately went to the room and brought the book to Mu Xiangyang.

Mu Xiangyang flipped through it casually, and just wanted to say something, but then he saw Mu Xiaoke’s page with the words “move out” written on it!

“What is this!” Mu Xiangyang took a closer look. Mu Xiaoke moved his household registration from his home to Shihua’s jurisdiction! Mu Xiaoke didn’t tell anyone about this!

“You just moved your household registration out like this, have you asked your father? Have you asked your family? How did I have such a heartless and ungrateful son like you? What the hell are you doing?”

“I just want to avoid bothering you in the future.” Mu Xiaoke was very calm at this moment. He transferred the house to his own name just for such a day. He transferred his household registration and lived alone.

In the future, he would not need to ask Mu Xiangyang for major events in his life that required the use of the household registration book.

He has to decide his own affairs.

“You are all excuses! Do you want to leave the Mu family so much, and separate yourself from me and your brother?”

Mu Xiaoke looked at the furious Mu Xiangyang, without a trace of fear in his eyes, he was not afraid of any threats from Mu Xiangyang, as long as he could separate himself from Mu Kai, he didn’t care about anything.

“Okay, okay, I never knew my youngest son was so decisive. I used to see you being submissive and timid, but you were just pretending! Okay, since you want to move out of the Mu family’s household registration, then from today onwards, you are no longer my Mu Xiangyang’s son, and I will not provide you with a penny. I want to see how long you can survive!” 

After Mu Xiangyang said that, he was so angry that he slammed the door and left.

The loud knock on the door shook Mu Xiaoke’s heart, and Chu Han covered his ears in time.

When Mu Xiangyang left, Mu Xiaoke sighed heavily, and Chu Han looked at him, “When did you change your household registration, and you didn’t tell me?”

Mu Xiaoke reluctantly smiled, “I took advantage of the college entrance examination registration to get the account book, and I went to do it right away.”

“Aren’t you worried that he will really cut off relations with you?”

Mu Xiaoke shook his head, he had already planned the worst outcome. As for living expenses, he is now able to support himself, including the money for schooling, which he has saved early.

With his stubbornness, Chu Han was even more curious about the past.

However, he knew that now was not the time.

A few days later, Chu Han was going back to school. Before leaving, Chu Han held Mu Xiaoke’s hand, not concealing his blatant emotions, and looked straight at Mu Xiaoke, “Be good, wait for me to come back, I have something to say to you.”

After saying that, Chu Han kissed Mu Xiaoke on the center of his brows, not as quickly as before, but clearly leaving traces, telling Mu Xiaoke clearly that he was kissing him.

Mu Xiaoke’s eyes widened, and he stood alone for a long time without recovering.
