C85

I have never felt such heaviness in a moment like this, when I heard this story from Mu Huainan.

After a long while, Mu Huainan finally released me. He quietly got off the bed and started to walk towards the door.

"I'll be right back."

Almost without thinking, I jumped out of bed and, without putting on my slippers, ran to the second floor. Walking through the hallway, I saw Mu Huainan, who was sitting on the sofa, in the living room.

In his hand was the blue plastic ring.

The pink one with me is a couple.

Perhaps because he heard my footsteps, Mu Huainan raised his head and saw me standing there in my pajamas. He smiled, but when his gaze landed on my bare feet, he frowned.

He got up, leaving a mark on the sofa where he had been sitting.

"Uncle Huainan."

I called to him piteously. However, she couldn't explain why she suddenly ran out to find him. She just felt like she wanted to see him, feel like she wanted to be carried, and fall asleep in his arms.

I must be crazy.

He picked me up by the waist and carried me straight back to the bedroom. He laid me gently on the bed and then went out again.

I sat up in a hurry and called to him, "What are you going to do now?"

He still told me to wait.

This was truly annoying. If he was given the chance to bully him, he would no longer be concerned with it. What was it!?

However, he returned very quickly this time. When he returned to his bedroom, he was still holding a basin of hot water.

He placed the hot water on the bed and squatted with his legs up. "Give me your feet," he said.

I held out a leg stiffly.

"The other one."

I held out the other one.

The next second, I felt a cool hand grab my ankle. Then I pulled my foot into the warm water, and my hands began to heat up, massaging in the water, kneading my feet.

Comfortable.

I looked at him eagerly and couldn't resist poking him in the forehead.

"Why are you always frowning?"

He raised his head and opened his eyebrows. He sighed lightly and smiled.

"If you don't want me to frown, then I won't."

Unexpectedly, Mu Huainan could actually be this obedient?

He added, "You can't walk barefoot on the ground in the future, okay?"

I nodded.

Something was always on the back of my foot, and when I looked down, it was the plastic ring on his finger.

"When you touch water, don't you take off your rings, watches and the like? Won't it affect your preservation if you drink water?"

Mu Huainan raised his head, "Give me your hand."

I reached out obediently.

He took off my ring, two rings in a row, and he ignored the pretty one on the outside and left it on the bed, the ugly plastic ring inside, held by him, soaking in the water with his ring.

"Sigh!"

I was a little worried when I saw the bubbling in his hand.

I never dared to let this ring touch water, because I always felt that this material was a little thinner than plastic, which could also be considered a little tattered.

So I was always afraid that if I touched the water, the ring would break completely.

However, what Mu Huainan had done was always unexpected.

He brought up the water-soaked ring and drained it on a paper towel. Finally, it was placed in front of me.

"Is there any change?"

I've noticed it since just now. The longer this "plastic" soaks in the water, the more...

"It's getting brighter and brighter."

"Because it's made of shells."

I started.

Then, he saw Mu Huainan take out a turtle shell from his pocket.

Empty. There was nothing inside except a cracked turtle shell. Judging from its appearance, if it wasn't deliberately preserved by someone, the turtle shell would have probably dried long ago.

Mu Huainan placed the turtle shell on my hand.

Just a little bigger than my palm.

"The turtle died a long time ago."

Even a newly matured turtle would be slightly bigger than this one. This turtle must have died when he was still a little kid.

Just my guess.

Then, I saw Mu Huainan nod.

"I don't know how to keep pets. The turtle died not long after the shell left."

I'm a little sorry for them.

The ring on my hand is ice-cold. It turns out to be made of shell. After so many years, I still despise it as a broken plastic, but I just can't bear to part with it.

So it turned out to be so beautiful after being soaked in the water.

Unfortunately …

I looked at Mu Huainan apologetically. He told me a long series of stories with deep emotions and moving emotions, but I …

"Uncle Huainan is sorry, I can't think of anything."

He smiled. Help me dry my feet with a towel, so fine that I dry every crease of my finger.

"Silly girl, I remember you."

He dried his hands and stood up with the basin and went out.

My warm feet were comfortable under the covers, and I tossed and turned in bed thinking about the story, so touching, so deep. No matter how he thought about it, he felt touched.

But he knew I couldn't remember, so why should he tell me? Just to move me? No, this isn't Mu Huainan's style.

I thought about why he told me the story initially. Oh right, it was because I asked him about the story of "Lu Jingyu."

Damn it, he said so much but still couldn't explain why his mind was only thinking about Lu Jingyu when he was drunk!

How infuriating! Did he get away with it just like that? Absolutely not! The old driver was the old one, and I was almost fooled.

Mu Huainan tidied up and came back, closed the door, and then self-consciously rubbed himself onto my bed.

I made up my mind and kicked him off the ground.

Who told him to lie to me!

It was hard to count!
