Lin Mu’s hand clenched slightly, at this point, he also didn’t know what he should be saying and froze for a moment. He then tried to pretend that he didn’t heard anything just now, “Song, Song Zhi Xu, Ran Ran said he was sleepy and wanted to see you, so why don’t you go in and see him then.” 

Probably because he hadn’t slept enough this morning, Lin Ran had just yawned and asked while rubbing his eyes, “Where’s Song Zhi Xu?”

Lin Mu didn’t let Lin Ran out before so he then came out to look for Song Zhi Xu by himself. 

He didn’t expect to hear those kinds of words.

Song Zhi Xu nodded slightly. Lin Mu immediately wanted to turn around and go back but when he had just taken one step, he was called by Song Zhi Xu. He paused a moment before he looked back again.

After some thought, Song Zhi Xu still said seriously, “Lin Mu, let’s talk later.”

Lin Mu was Lin Ran’s elder brother, and Song Zhi Xu knew that it was impossible to avoid Lin Mu if he wanted to be with Lin Ran. If Lin Mu hadn’t heard what he had just said, it would have been fine and he could pretend that nothing had happened in the past, but now that Lin Mu had heard it, Song Zhi Xu felt that he still needed to talk to him clearly about it. 

If he didn’t say it clearly, the past would be buried in his heart and would only make their future meetings awkward.

Lin Mu nodded his head and did not refuse, since Song Zhi Xu had taken the initiative to talk to him, he naturally would not refuse.

Lin Ran had been sitting on the sofa waiting, his eyes were overflowing with tears after yawning. He was rubbing his eyes which filled with tears. As soon as he saw Song Zhi Xu, he immediately revealed a smile, he stretched out his hands to let Song Zhi Xu hug him. Song Zhi Xu smiled lightly as he walked over to take him into his arms, Lin Ran rubbed against him in his embrace, only then he said in a small voice,

“Song Zhi Xu, Ran Ran sleepy.” 

He didn’t sleep early last night, and after he fell asleep he was taken out of the bed by Song Zhi Xu to pick up Lin Mu in the airport. In the morning, because the place he slept was not the smell he was familiar with, he woke up as soon as Song Zhi Xu woke up. He didn’t sleep enough at all so this time, he was sleepy again after eating.

Song Zhi Xu gave him a kiss on the forehead, then carried him into the room and put him on the bed, pulling the quilt to cover them together, “Ran Ran, if you’re sleepy, go to sleep, I’ll stay here with you.” 

Lin Ran replied with, ‘Hn.’ before then nodded his head and yawned again, a physiological tear percolating from his eyes as he closed his eyes to sleep.

Song Zhi Xu watched and stretched out his hands to gently rub away his tears with the center of his thumb, and gently stroked his back, letting him sleep peacefully. 

In the hallway, Lin Mu and Mu Qingting stood together, the two of them were a little awkward for a moment.

After the barrel broke, Mu Qingting didn’t know how to take initiate to start a conversation, at the same time, Lin Mu also didn’t know what to say either. 

The two were silent for a long time. In the end, it was Lin Mu who spoke first, explaining in a low voice,

“I was the one who started to make this morning’s breakfast so it wasn’t Song Zhi Xu who wanted to make fried eggs. I’m just used to making fried eggs, so…so that’s why I made them. I didn’t know that Song Zhi Xu and Ran Ran wanted to eat boiled eggs this morning.” 

This morning, he was the first one who entered the kitchen, therefore when Song Zhi Xu arrived in the kitchen, he had already fried one, so Song Zhi Xu went along and fried the rest.

Lin Ran was not a picky eater, whatever was given to him, he ate it, so Lin Mu didn’t know that Lin Ran liked boiled eggs. When Lin Ran was still at the old Lin family home, he also took Lin Ran to eat fried eggs. 

Mu Qingting did not expect it to be like this. His face showed a few moments of embarrassment as he felt sorry about it, so after a while, he then sighed,

“It’s my fault for bringing this up again, I just thought that since little Ran Ran was pregnant so old Song couldn’t do such a thing, so… I shouldn’t have mentioned this.” 

Mu Qingting now also had some remorse, if he hadn’t brought this matter up maybe this matter would be just passed like that.

After all, back then Song Zhi Xu’s feeling, no one but him was the only one who knew. Now since Song Zhi Xu was with Lin Ran, it was good that this past matter was forgotten. Lin Mu looked at him and lowered his head without speaking. 

He didn’t know whether it was better to say it out clearly or just to pretend that nothing had happened, but he did know that he never thought of Song Zhi Xu as anything other than a friend.

The two stood outside for a little longer, therefore after Song Zhi Xu had coaxed Lin Ran to sleep and came out of the bedroom, he unexpectedly found that the two men had been standing in the corridor. He called the two inside and poured water before sitting on the sofa. Song Zhi Xu looked at Lin Mu and then at Mu Qingting before finally saying, “I think it’s better to talk about what happened before, after all, we still have to see each other often in the future, to avoid it being kept in our hearts and turning into a problem or misunderstanding.” 

Mu Qingting followed, nodded his head also.

Song Zhi Xu turned to Lin Mu and after a moment of consideration then he said,
