Su Mingyuan found Shen Mu in a remote small village.At that time, Shen Mu's mother had passed away for half a year.
Shen Mu's grandmother had only one son and one daughter. The son was a farmer who planed food in the fields, and the promising daughter was unmarried and pregnant, and brought home an oil bottle.After her mother died, Shen Mu was left in the care of her elderly grandmother.But grandma couldn't bear the pain of losing her daughter, and she passed away not long after.Thus, Shen Mu became a real oil bottle.
After spending all the little money left by Shen Mu's mother, her aunt's face never cleared up, and she threw pots and bowls at home all day long.The uncle left early and returned late all day long, and the only way to take care of this nephew was to give him a bite to eat and a bed to sleep in, and for the rest he didn't dare to talk back to his wife.
People in the village watched Shen Mu become thinner day by day from a white and tender beautiful child, his eyes became more and more gloomy and withdrawn, and there were many discussions behind his back.When Su Mingyuan and his group entered the village to inquire, they all swarmed up and filed complaints.
Obviously, they all regarded Su Mingyuan as the biological father of that "big man" Shen Mu in the city.
When Su Mingyuan found Shen Mu under the guidance of the villagers, he was sitting alone at the door of the old house.The old house that had experienced wind and rain was almost collapsed, and even the wooden door was rotten and covered with moss.A child under the age of five sat there quietly, and a group of people walked up to him, but he didn't even lift his head.
The child was a little yellow and thin, and his clothes were a little dirty, but he still had a handsome silhouette.Holding a straw toy in his hand, he played on his own.
"I want to go down, Dad, let's go to the ground." Before Su Mingyuan could speak, Su Zhiqiao started to fuss in his father's arms, waving his little arms and legs vigorously, Su Mingyuan was so tormented that he had no choice but to bend over and put him on the ground.
A pair of small black leather shoes with buckles appeared on the sandy ground in front of him, and a tender voice fell from the top of his head: "What are you doing?"
The voice of his peers made Shen Mu respond, he raised his head, and a child about his own age appeared in front of him.Su Zhiqiao was wearing a light yellow summer dress, short-sleeved shorts, a pair of white socks on her feet, and her chubby legs with lotus root petals.His eyes were round, and he tilted his head to look at himself curiously.
Shen Mu has never seen such a beautiful child, white and tender, different from everyone in the village.His hair was a little long and curly, piled on his white and tender forehead, which made Shen Mu not sure whether it was a boy or a girl for a while. "What are you doing here? Is this your home?" Su Zhiqiao asked him a few more words. Seeing that Shen Mu was silent, she struggled up the steps with her short legs, wanting to enter the house and see look.
Shen Mu pushed him away, showing fierce eyes like a puppy guarding the house.
Su Zhiqiao struggled to climb the steps, but when Shen Mu pushed her, she fell backwards.
"Qiao Qiao!" Su Mingyuan quickly caught Su Zhiqiao. Su Zhiqiao blinked and burst into tears.
"Why are you like this, kid? You..." The driver following Su Mingyuan said angrily.
"It's okay, the child is still young." Su Mingyuan put his face on Su Zhiqiao's curly head to coax him, let Secretary Liao take it, and knelt down to look at Shen Mu.
Shen Mu's eyes were full of vigilance and defense, looking at this thin little child, although there were obvious signs of malnutrition, but the facial features, as well as the shape of his face, were carved out of the same mold as his good friend.
Without verification, he could recognize at a glance that this was the child he was looking for.
Su Mingyuan paid Shen Mu's uncle and aunt a sum of money.He brought a lawyer this time to prepare for the adoption procedures, and then took Shen Mu away directly.But the matter of bringing Shen Mu back to the city was not so smooth.
Although Shen Mu is young, his temperament is extremely stubborn, and he refuses to leave the house where his mother and grandma lived.He didn't open his mouth to speak, and no one could persuade him.
Su Mingyuan was helpless, and in the end the village head cleaned up his West House and let Su Mingyuan live there.Su Mingyuan asked the driver and the others to live in a guest house in the town, and he took Shen Mu to stay.
Su Zhiqiao quit, hugging her father's thigh and yelling that she also wants to live in the village.
Secretary Liao coaxed him with a toy: "Qiao Qiao, let's go to the guest house, where there is air conditioning. It's hot here, aren't you afraid of mosquitoes biting you?"
"I want to live with my father!" Su Zhiqiao grabbed his father's thigh tightly and refused to let go, crying to anyone who hugged him.
"Then let Qiao Qiao follow me." Su Mingyuan waved his hand.
at night.Su Mingyuan took a bath for the two children, Shen Mu changed into Su Zhiqiao's clothes after being washed, and his whole body looked brand new.His facial features are handsome like a girl's, and his eyes are black and bright.Just comparing with Su Zhiqiao, who is fat and white, it can be seen that he is too thin, and his eyes are full of vigilance, no matter how much Su Mingyuan teases him, he will not open his mouth.But when Su Mingyuan took him away from his uncle's house, he didn't resist at all, which is enough to explain how he was treated in that family.
Telling stories, playing with toys, and snacks, Su Mingyuan had all his treasures. Shen Mu was as motionless as a mountain. He pointed the back of his head at him, crossed his short legs, and sat upright on the bed, making passive resistance.
"Father, I want to eat! I want to eat!" Su Zhiqiao arched into Su Mingyuan's arms, waving his short hands, trying desperately to get the snack in Su Mingyuan's hand.
Shen Mu sat with his back to them, and when he heard Su Zhiqiao's voice, he couldn't help moving, and turned his head secretly.
"You can't eat it. You have tooth decay, and your mother should scold me later." Su Mingyuan touched his son's bulging belly. Su Zhiqiao's small face wrinkled for a second, and she was about to let out a cry of grief. Su Mingyuan hurried Covering his mouth, lowering his voice: "You can eat if you want, but you have to..."
"Hmm..." Su Zhiqiao wrinkled her small face and thought about it, then turned to look at Shen Mu.It's rare to meet a child of the same age, his face is full of wanting to play together, and he is a little shy.
Su Mingyuan couldn't stop laughing, kissed his forehead, and handed a car to Su Zhiqiao, "Can you go and play with your brother?"
"But he hit me." Su Zhiqiao still hasn't forgotten the push that Shen Mu pushed him today.
Shen Mu immediately turned around, moved his mouth, but remained silent, with a sad expression on his small face.After all, he was a child under five years old, and he couldn't hide any emotions.
"How many times do you want to sue?" Su Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reasoned with Su Zhiqiao: "Brother didn't hit you, he didn't want you to enter his house. You want to enter someone else's house, have you ever said hello?"
"No." Su Zhiqiao shook her head obediently.
Su Mingyuan each hit a big slap: "So, brother Mumu didn't want to hit you, but he used the wrong method to stop you. Both of you have something wrong, so you can't get angry, okay?"
Hearing Su Mingyuan's words, Shen Mu's eyes lit up again.Su Zhiqiao was also satisfied. "Then...then I want to play cars with my brother!" Su Zhiqiao raised the car in his hand. "Okay. You go and play with your brother." Su Mingyuan encouraged Su Zhiqiao.
Su Zhiqiao hugged the car and moved towards Shen Mu. She climbed too fast and fell on Shen Mu's body. The two children rolled into a ball.
Su Mingyuan sat up in a second.
"Tickle!" Su Zhiqiao giggled, she didn't hurt from falling with the mat, but thought it was very fun, pouted her buttocks and threw herself on Shen Mu again, scratching Shen Mu like she usually played with her father.Shen Mu's short legs kicked around like an electric shock, and he couldn't get rid of Su Zhiqiao.
Su Mingyuan poked his head over to look, yes, Shen Mu's small face finally showed a smile, he didn't expect Su Zhiqiao to be useful in this way.Letting the two little guys play around, Su Mingyuan leaned on the bed and watched with a smile, fearing that one of them would fall too far.
After arguing for a long time, Su Zhiqiao blushed with a smile, and the two children lay side by side on the bed, and began to play together head to head.
"Look, what a car~" Su Zhiqiao grabbed the car and rolled around on the mat.
Shen Mu hadn't played with toys much before, but at this moment, his attention was not on this novelty car at all, but fixed on the side to look at this curly-haired kid, Su Zhiqiao was wearing a pink blue pajamas with lace , there is a bow on the pocket, she looks more beautiful than the little granddaughter of the village head's family, and her body is fragrant and soft, so it is very comfortable to hold.He hadn't been hugged like this since his mother and grandmother passed away.
Shen Mu's focused eyes made Su Zhiqiao even more excited. He proudly showed off how to play the car, and then handed it to Shen Mu: "It's my brother's turn to drive."
Shen Mu picked up the car and slid it on the mat, there was some resistance.His black eyes rolled around, and he looked at the edge of the bed. The edge of the bed was a smooth piece of wood. Shen Mu put the car on it, and it immediately slid smoothly.
"Wow, the car is so fast!" Su Zhiqiao opened her mouth wide in surprise, her eyes turned into admiration when she looked at Shen Mu.Shen Mu glanced at Su Zhiqiao, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips slowly curled up.
"Mumuke is so smart, look, how well the car drives." Su Mingyuan hurried up to check his favorability.
Shen Mu immediately jumped back to the vigilant state, moved back with a sullen face, and dragged Su Zhiqiao along the way, acting like a protector.
Su Mingyuan: "..." The key is why Su Zhiqiao followed suit!
Su Zhiqiao, of course, just thought it was fun, so he treated his father as a villain, hid aside with Shen Mu, continued to play with the car, and completely forgot about the snack.
Su Mingyuan sighed and could only take his time.However, when Shen Mu saw Su Zhiqiao, his eyes became a little lively, showing the color that a five-year-old child should have. He was very relieved to see the two children getting along well.
The next day, when Secretary Liao and the driver returned to the village, Su Zhiqiao and Shen Mu were already squatting at the door to play.Shen Mu doesn't have any toys, but he is very smart, he can even weave exquisite toys by pulling a few stalks of dog's tail grass.
"Qiao Qiao wants it." Su Zhiqiao stared at the straw ring in Shen Mu's hand.
Su Zhiqiao had a lot in hand, Shen Mu made up one and he wanted one, Shen Mu was a little annoyed.Seeing that Shen Mu didn't say a word, with a serious face on the floor, Secretary Liao only thought that he was upset. He had seen this kid do something to Su Zhiqiao, so he hurried out to smooth things over: "Qiao Qiao, come here, Uncle Liao brought you a small cake." .”
"Cake!" Su Zhiqiao turned her head to Uncle Liao, and was about to stand up immediately, but her hand was grabbed.
With a light on his finger, Shen Mu put the grass ring on his chubby finger, and then stared at him with black eyes.For some reason, Su Zhiqiao thought of the little dog at grandma's house, who would stare at him like this every time he bit something bad.
Su Zhiqiao moved her fingers, the ears of the dog's tail grass were fluffy, Su Zhiqiao felt satisfied after admiring herself, took Shen Mu's hand and squatted back, he picked out the ugliest straw toy from a bunch of straw toys : "This is for my brother."
Shen Mu smiled a little.
"It's strange, why did the two children get better all of a sudden?" The driver came over and smiled as he saw it.
"Children, it's easy to play together." Su Mingyuan came out of the main room, and saw the two children playing intimately, so his face looked a little better.He had just heard something about Shen Mu from the village head, and he was in a bad mood.A child without a father and no mother, living in his uncle's house, and meeting such an aunt again, no wonder he can't even speak now.
The driver put all the luggage in the car and asked, "Shall we leave now?"
"Go." Su Mingyuan nodded.
Secretary Liao asked suspiciously, "Isn't that kid unwilling to leave?"
"Try it." Su Mingyuan took a deep breath, walked towards the two children, squatted down and looked at them, "Mumu, Qiao Qiao, what are you playing?"
"My brother made it up for me! Rings, worms, cages—" Su Zhiqiao hurriedly presented the treasure.
Su Mingyuan boasted in surprise: "It's so powerful, it's really well edited, Mumu, uncle likes it too, can I give one to uncle?"
Shen Mu closed his mouth tightly, took a look at Su Mingyuan, then lowered his head and picked out a small cage for him.The handwork of this small cage looks like it was made by a child. It is a little childish, but very childlike.Su Mingyuan never expected that Shen Mu would actually give it to him, holding the cage carefully, he was very excited. "Thank you, Mumu." Su Mingyuan made persistent efforts and coaxed Shen Mu: "We're going home today. Okay? When we get to the city, uncle will take you and Qiao Qiao to eat at Peony House..."
As Su Mingyuan said, he stretched out his hand to Shen Mu, who knew that when he heard "in the city", Shen Mu shrank back vigilantly and ran away, with rejection written all over his body.
"Hey, Mumu!" Su Mingyuan didn't catch it, and cried out with a headache.
"Qiaoqiao wants to eat!" Su Zhiqiao jumped into his father's arms when he heard it, the cat's eyes were shining, and he even drooled.
"Snack guy, you are everywhere." Su Mingyuan pinched his nose and hugged the little guy.
"What should I do? Take him away by force?" Seeing that Su Mingyuan failed to seduce him, Secretary Liao came over to discuss in a low voice.
"It's not like I didn't try it yesterday..." Su Mingyuan said in frustration.Shen Mu refused to leave yesterday, they tried to force him into the car.As a result, the five-year-old boy was so crazy when he jumped up and down, he didn't say a word, his short legs kicked like a hot wheel, he twisted and kicked, he clung to the car door and refused to get up.
He couldn't make a sound, his little face was flushed, and he felt distressed just looking at it.The adults were afraid of hurting him, so they didn't dare to use too much force. In the end, they didn't take him into the car, and Su Mingyuan was kicked all over in ashes.Thinking of this, Secretary Liao also had lingering fears: "Then what should I do? Stay longer? The company..."
"That can't be helped." Su Mingyuan looked back at Shen Mu, only to find that he was staring at Su Zhiqiao, with nervousness written all over his face.
In a flash of inspiration, Su Mingyuan found himself standing by the car door with Secretary Liao. Could it be that Shen Mu thought they were leaving?He suddenly had an idea, and shouted to Su Zhiqiao: "Qiaoqiao, we are going home."
"I still want to play here~" Su Zhiqiao put her arms around her father's neck coquettishly.
"You don't want to eat Peony House? Burgers, French fries..." Su Mingyuan counted Su Zhiqiao's favorite food.
"Yes! Then let's go now!" Su Zhiqiao turned her head for a second and pointed into the car.
"Okay, then we'll go back now. We won't be back in the future." Su Mingyuan hugged Su Zhiqiao and moved a step into the car, but his eyes were on Shen Mu's side.
Su Mingyuan took a step towards the car door with Su Zhiqiao in his arms, and Shen Mu nervously moved forward, his eyes still fixed on Su Zhiqiao.
"Mu Mu, do you want to come? Qiao Qiao is leaving." Su Mingyuan discussed with Shen Mu very gently.
Secretary Liao understood, and said loudly: "If Mumu doesn't come, Qiaoqiao has to go back alone. Qiaoqiao, you will not be able to play with brother anymore."
Hearing this, Su Zhiqiao, who had been crying before, also came to his senses, and stared at his father: "Brother, let's go too!"
"Then you go and tell your brother." Su Mingyuan encouraged his son and put Su Zhiqiao on the ground.
Su Zhiqiao ran over and grabbed Shen Mu's hand: "Brother, go home. Eat hamburger... French fries... Chill." Su Zhiqiao made gestures while talking, making herself greedy.
Shen Mu tightly grasped Su Zhiqiao's hand, as if grasping a lost and recovered treasure.
"Come on, let's go home together, shall we?" Su Mingyuan approached slowly.
"..." Shen Mu stared at him vigilantly, and led Su Zhiqiao back, all the way back under the tree, then turned his back and blocked Su Zhiqiao with himself.
He didn't say a word, but Su Mingyuan inexplicably understood what he meant.
"Did he say... Qiao Qiao stays, we can go?" Secretary Liao was in a complicated mood.
"……Seems to be."
The group lingered under the tree for a long time, but they failed to convince Shen Mu. Instead, Su Zhiqiao was instigated to have fun with Shen Mu.
Su Mingyuan frightened him: "Qiaoqiao, let's go, you and your brother can stay here by yourself."
Su Zhiqiao waved goodbye to his father cheerfully: "bye~"
Su Mingyuan never expected that Shen Mu didn't abduct him, but his son was compensated.There was no other way, he had no choice but to be tough, and took Su Zhiqiao away directly, and got into the car.
"Brother! I want a brother!" Su Zhiqiao yelled.
Shen Mu immediately chased after him, but instead of getting in the car, he stood by the car door and looked at Su Zhiqiao.
"Brother won't go with us, you can ask brother, can't you?" Su Mingyuan said deliberately.
"Brother, go together! Brother, go with Qiaoqiao!" Su Zhiqiao yelled, her eyes were red, and tears began to roll in her eyes.
Su Mingyuan continued his efforts: "Then let your brother get in the car."
"Brother..." Su Zhiqiao stretched out his hand to Shen Mu eagerly.
Shen Mu's eye circles gradually turned red.But he tightly put his hands behind his back, and refused to get into the car no matter what.Secretary Liao wanted to carry him up, but he ran away again.
"Why is this kid so stubborn?" The driver looked tired.
Su Mingyuan gritted his teeth: "Drive!"
The car started slowly and drove forward at a slow speed.
"Brother! Whoa! I want my brother!" Didn't you agree that your brother would go back with you?Daddy liar!The more Su Zhiqiao thought about it, the more sad she became. Seeing the car started, the big tree, the old house, and Brother Mumu were all left behind, she couldn't help crying anymore.
Hearing his son's sad little voice, Su Mingyuan also felt a little distressed, reluctant to let his son be left alone... Shen Mu.He touched his son's small face and continued to coax: "In the future, no brother will weave rings for you, and no one will drive with you, so you can stay alone."
"Wow! Dad is a big liar!" Su Zhiqiao's cry was another key.
"Is this going to work? Qiao Qiao should be crying to death!" Secretary Liao was in a panic.
"Here we come! We're catching up!" The driver yelled while staring at the rearview mirror.
Su Mingyuan immediately leaned out of the car window to look. A small figure was chasing the car and staggered a bit on the way.
Shen Mu's ears were filled with his own wheezing, he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were only on the car in front, and there was Qiao Qiao in the car.Shen Mu's little heart seems to be swollen with something, he can't think of anything, only one goal: to catch up with Qiao Qiao.
He couldn't run soon, his stomach hurt and his legs hurt, but he still insisted on chasing the car.The car drove very slowly, and there was only a short distance between him and Shen Mu, but it seemed impossible for a five-year-old child to catch up.
The car stopped, the door opened, Su Zhiqiao was put on the ground by Su Mingyuan, and Da Da Da ran towards him.
"Brother!" Su Zhiqiao hugged him like a small cannonball with tears still on her face.Babies who watch Qiong Yao dramas with their mothers are just such dramas.
Su Mingyuan and the others poked their heads out of the car. I don't know what Su Zhiqiao said, but the two little guys walked over holding hands.Su Mingyuan hugged each other into the car, quickly closed the door and left.
Shen Mu stuck to the car window tightly, looking at the distant village, his black eyes showed sadness and reluctance that didn't match his age.Fortunately, Su Zhiqiao was still around, pestering Shen Mu to make a fuss, and quickly diverted his attention.
The long-distance drive was very long, and the two children fell asleep, nestling head to head in Su Mingyuan's arms, like two cubs being affectionate.Su Mingyuan patted the child's back lightly, sighing silently.
After such a long delay, the child was finally found.Su Mingyuan never thought that his two best friends would reappear in his life in this way after breaking up for so long.
At the beginning, Su Mingyuan and his childhood sweetheart Shang Yingrong were admitted to the university of God Capital together. Under the arrangement of Su's family, the two entered Shen's subsidiary as an intern and got to know Shen Qianshan.Shen Qianshan was a senior three years above them. Shen Qianshan had a good background, good looks, and his vision and handling methods were what young people like them looked up to.Shang Yingrong liked to cling to this senior, and even brought Su Mingyuan into contact with him.
However, Shen Qianshan took great care of Su Mingyuan, which made Su Mingyuan, who was originally jealous, feel embarrassed, and instead was overwhelmed by Shen Qianshan's charisma.Gradually, he and Shen Qianshan went in and out together every day, but put Shang Yingrong aside.
Until one day, Shang Yingrong found him.
"I'm pregnant. It's Shen Qianshan's child."
Su Mingyuan didn't know how to answer, nor how to judge, and he didn't even feel the anger of being betrayed in his heart.Shen Qianshan was married a long time ago. Although he never mentioned his family, the whole company knew that he married a well-matched wife under the arrangement of his family. His son just celebrated his third birthday.
Shang Yingrong refused to let Su Mingyuan go to Shen Qianshan, and left by herself, no one knew where she went.Su Mingyuan looked for her in despair for a while, and it happened that something happened at home, so he hurried home to inherit the family business, and married his wife under the arrangement of his parents.
On Su Zhiqiao's first birthday, Shen Qianshan came uninvited.Looking at the child in his arms, his eyes were full of complex emotions: "I have children, so fast."
"Your child is probably older than him." Su Mingyuan replied coldly.
Shen Qianshan just hooked the corners of his lips, teasing the powdery baby, as if he couldn't understand Su Mingyuan's sarcasm: "It looks like you. Can I hug you?"
Su Mingyuan hesitated and handed the child over.Shen Qianshan was not very proficient in holding the child, so he hugged the child cautiously.The little baby was not afraid of life, stared at Shen Qianshan with dark eyes, and grinned with a toothless mouth that smelled of milk.
Shen Qianshan looked at him quietly, and the little baby came up to him, opened his toothless mouth, and gnawed on his face, leaving a watermark.
"Qiao Qiao!" Su Mingyuan quickly hugged him back, and explained apologetically, "He has long teeth and loves to bite."
"It's okay, it's rare for a child to kiss me." Shen Qianshan wiped his face with a smile, and when he raised his eyes, the assistant immediately handed over a red envelope, "I didn't have time to prepare a gift."
Before Su Mingyuan could refuse, Su Zhiqiao had already grabbed the red paper seal and giggled.
"Little guy." Shen Qianshan smiled slightly, and touched his cheek with complicated eyes, like tender tofu, "softer than your father."
"What are you talking about?" Su Mingyuan was already a father, and he couldn't help himself.
Shen Qianshan finally laughed, reached out to rub his hair, suddenly paused, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "Student has grown up."
When Shen Qianshan got into the car and left, Su Mingyuan couldn't help but catch up a step, and lowered his voice: "You really don't intend to find Yingrong and the child?"
"Apart from this sentence, do you have anything else you want to tell me?" Shen Qianshan asked back.
"Is there anything more important than this?" Su Mingyuan frowned.
Shen Qianshan's smile gradually disappeared, he took a deep look at Su Mingyuan, and slammed the car door.
Since then, they have never seen each other again.
……
Shen Qianshan completely disappeared in Su Mingyuan's world.Until one day Shen Mu asked Su Mingyuan: "Are you my father?"
When she asked this question, Shen Mu could already speak.He lived well in the Su family, but his personality was always reserved.On this day, Su Mingyuan held his two children as usual and told them stories.
After a story was told, Su Zhiqiao was already sound asleep, but Shen Mu secretly asked this question with his eyes open.The small body was tense, and it was obvious that he mustered up the courage to ask.
Su Mingyuan's eyes became hot, and he touched his head with a smile: "Do you think I'm your father?"
"I...don't know." Shen Mu clenched his fists, his cheeks felt hot, and he lowered his head again, "You are not. Mom said Dad doesn't like me and doesn't want us."
Although he was still very young when Shang Qian passed away, he still remembered these words.What's more, his aunt reminded him all the time, you are a bastard, your father doesn't want you and your mother anymore, and left you at my house to eat.
"No. Mu Mu is a good boy." Su Mingyuan didn't know how to comfort the child. He hugged Shen Mu and kissed the top of his hair. "This is your home. Can you treat uncle as your father?"
Shen Mu's dark eyes stared at him for a long time, then suddenly buried in his arms, and gave a muffled hum.
For five-year-old Shen Mu, this period of time was like a dream.In his memory, after his mother and grandmother left one after another, his aunt scolded him and refused to give him food when he got angry, and his cousin liked to beat him, and would stuff things like frogs and snakes into his clothes.My uncle leaves early and returns late every day, and doesn't care about anything. Shen Mu can only try to reduce his sense of existence and avoid attracting other people's attention.
Now, he lives in the warm and comfortable Su family, and his uncles and aunts regard him as a treasure, as well as his favorite Qiao Qiao.He hasn't felt this way for a long time, like a person who has been trekking through the ice and snow for a long time, and suddenly encounters a door that he wants to open. Inside the door is a warm stove and food, and he is afraid to approach it for a while.He was afraid that when he woke up, he would return to that dilapidated and dark hut, like he had done countless times in the past.
"Brother..." Su Zhiqiao suddenly muttered, and arched into her father's arms.
Shen Mu raised his head immediately, Su Mingyuan understood, and carried Su Zhiqiao to the side of the bed, letting him lie down with Shen Mu.Su Zhiqiao turned over and hugged Shen Mu with her little hands.His body was fragrant and soft, driving away all the messy thoughts in Shen Mu's mind.Shen Mu yawned, feeling sleepy in an instant.
After covering the two little guys with blankets, Su Mingyuan backed out lightly, and was about to turn off the lights when he almost bumped into someone.Looking back, his wife in her pajamas shushed him.
"Why are you here?" Su Mingyuan whispered.
"Mu Muai kicked the quilt, let me come and see." Under Su Mingyuan's smiling gaze, Shang Qian snorted angrily, turning into anger from embarrassment, "What if he catches a cold and infects Qiao Qiao?"
"Okay, okay, I got it." Su Mingyuan hugged his hard-mouthed and soft-hearted wife and kissed him, and the two of them looked at the child on the children's bed together.
The two little guys were covered with a sky blue soft quilt, huddled head to head affectionately, sleeping with brows and eyes stretched out, obviously dreaming a sweet dream.
Shen Mu's grandmother had only one son and one daughter. The son was a farmer who planed food in the fields, and the promising daughter was unmarried and pregnant, and brought home an oil bottle.After her mother died, Shen Mu was left in the care of her elderly grandmother.But grandma couldn't bear the pain of losing her daughter, and she passed away not long after.Thus, Shen Mu became a real oil bottle.
After spending all the little money left by Shen Mu's mother, her aunt's face never cleared up, and she threw pots and bowls at home all day long.The uncle left early and returned late all day long, and the only way to take care of this nephew was to give him a bite to eat and a bed to sleep in, and for the rest he didn't dare to talk back to his wife.
People in the village watched Shen Mu become thinner day by day from a white and tender beautiful child, his eyes became more and more gloomy and withdrawn, and there were many discussions behind his back.When Su Mingyuan and his group entered the village to inquire, they all swarmed up and filed complaints.
Obviously, they all regarded Su Mingyuan as the biological father of that "big man" Shen Mu in the city.
When Su Mingyuan found Shen Mu under the guidance of the villagers, he was sitting alone at the door of the old house.The old house that had experienced wind and rain was almost collapsed, and even the wooden door was rotten and covered with moss.A child under the age of five sat there quietly, and a group of people walked up to him, but he didn't even lift his head.
The child was a little yellow and thin, and his clothes were a little dirty, but he still had a handsome silhouette.Holding a straw toy in his hand, he played on his own.
"I want to go down, Dad, let's go to the ground." Before Su Mingyuan could speak, Su Zhiqiao started to fuss in his father's arms, waving his little arms and legs vigorously, Su Mingyuan was so tormented that he had no choice but to bend over and put him on the ground.
A pair of small black leather shoes with buckles appeared on the sandy ground in front of him, and a tender voice fell from the top of his head: "What are you doing?"
The voice of his peers made Shen Mu respond, he raised his head, and a child about his own age appeared in front of him.Su Zhiqiao was wearing a light yellow summer dress, short-sleeved shorts, a pair of white socks on her feet, and her chubby legs with lotus root petals.His eyes were round, and he tilted his head to look at himself curiously.
Shen Mu has never seen such a beautiful child, white and tender, different from everyone in the village.His hair was a little long and curly, piled on his white and tender forehead, which made Shen Mu not sure whether it was a boy or a girl for a while. "What are you doing here? Is this your home?" Su Zhiqiao asked him a few more words. Seeing that Shen Mu was silent, she struggled up the steps with her short legs, wanting to enter the house and see look.
Shen Mu pushed him away, showing fierce eyes like a puppy guarding the house.
Su Zhiqiao struggled to climb the steps, but when Shen Mu pushed her, she fell backwards.
"Qiao Qiao!" Su Mingyuan quickly caught Su Zhiqiao. Su Zhiqiao blinked and burst into tears.
"Why are you like this, kid? You..." The driver following Su Mingyuan said angrily.
"It's okay, the child is still young." Su Mingyuan put his face on Su Zhiqiao's curly head to coax him, let Secretary Liao take it, and knelt down to look at Shen Mu.
Shen Mu's eyes were full of vigilance and defense, looking at this thin little child, although there were obvious signs of malnutrition, but the facial features, as well as the shape of his face, were carved out of the same mold as his good friend.
Without verification, he could recognize at a glance that this was the child he was looking for.
Su Mingyuan paid Shen Mu's uncle and aunt a sum of money.He brought a lawyer this time to prepare for the adoption procedures, and then took Shen Mu away directly.But the matter of bringing Shen Mu back to the city was not so smooth.
Although Shen Mu is young, his temperament is extremely stubborn, and he refuses to leave the house where his mother and grandma lived.He didn't open his mouth to speak, and no one could persuade him.
Su Mingyuan was helpless, and in the end the village head cleaned up his West House and let Su Mingyuan live there.Su Mingyuan asked the driver and the others to live in a guest house in the town, and he took Shen Mu to stay.
Su Zhiqiao quit, hugging her father's thigh and yelling that she also wants to live in the village.
Secretary Liao coaxed him with a toy: "Qiao Qiao, let's go to the guest house, where there is air conditioning. It's hot here, aren't you afraid of mosquitoes biting you?"
"I want to live with my father!" Su Zhiqiao grabbed his father's thigh tightly and refused to let go, crying to anyone who hugged him.
"Then let Qiao Qiao follow me." Su Mingyuan waved his hand.
at night.Su Mingyuan took a bath for the two children, Shen Mu changed into Su Zhiqiao's clothes after being washed, and his whole body looked brand new.His facial features are handsome like a girl's, and his eyes are black and bright.Just comparing with Su Zhiqiao, who is fat and white, it can be seen that he is too thin, and his eyes are full of vigilance, no matter how much Su Mingyuan teases him, he will not open his mouth.But when Su Mingyuan took him away from his uncle's house, he didn't resist at all, which is enough to explain how he was treated in that family.
Telling stories, playing with toys, and snacks, Su Mingyuan had all his treasures. Shen Mu was as motionless as a mountain. He pointed the back of his head at him, crossed his short legs, and sat upright on the bed, making passive resistance.
"Father, I want to eat! I want to eat!" Su Zhiqiao arched into Su Mingyuan's arms, waving his short hands, trying desperately to get the snack in Su Mingyuan's hand.
Shen Mu sat with his back to them, and when he heard Su Zhiqiao's voice, he couldn't help moving, and turned his head secretly.
"You can't eat it. You have tooth decay, and your mother should scold me later." Su Mingyuan touched his son's bulging belly. Su Zhiqiao's small face wrinkled for a second, and she was about to let out a cry of grief. Su Mingyuan hurried Covering his mouth, lowering his voice: "You can eat if you want, but you have to..."
"Hmm..." Su Zhiqiao wrinkled her small face and thought about it, then turned to look at Shen Mu.It's rare to meet a child of the same age, his face is full of wanting to play together, and he is a little shy.
Su Mingyuan couldn't stop laughing, kissed his forehead, and handed a car to Su Zhiqiao, "Can you go and play with your brother?"
"But he hit me." Su Zhiqiao still hasn't forgotten the push that Shen Mu pushed him today.
Shen Mu immediately turned around, moved his mouth, but remained silent, with a sad expression on his small face.After all, he was a child under five years old, and he couldn't hide any emotions.
"How many times do you want to sue?" Su Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reasoned with Su Zhiqiao: "Brother didn't hit you, he didn't want you to enter his house. You want to enter someone else's house, have you ever said hello?"
"No." Su Zhiqiao shook her head obediently.
Su Mingyuan each hit a big slap: "So, brother Mumu didn't want to hit you, but he used the wrong method to stop you. Both of you have something wrong, so you can't get angry, okay?"
Hearing Su Mingyuan's words, Shen Mu's eyes lit up again.Su Zhiqiao was also satisfied. "Then...then I want to play cars with my brother!" Su Zhiqiao raised the car in his hand. "Okay. You go and play with your brother." Su Mingyuan encouraged Su Zhiqiao.
Su Zhiqiao hugged the car and moved towards Shen Mu. She climbed too fast and fell on Shen Mu's body. The two children rolled into a ball.
Su Mingyuan sat up in a second.
"Tickle!" Su Zhiqiao giggled, she didn't hurt from falling with the mat, but thought it was very fun, pouted her buttocks and threw herself on Shen Mu again, scratching Shen Mu like she usually played with her father.Shen Mu's short legs kicked around like an electric shock, and he couldn't get rid of Su Zhiqiao.
Su Mingyuan poked his head over to look, yes, Shen Mu's small face finally showed a smile, he didn't expect Su Zhiqiao to be useful in this way.Letting the two little guys play around, Su Mingyuan leaned on the bed and watched with a smile, fearing that one of them would fall too far.
After arguing for a long time, Su Zhiqiao blushed with a smile, and the two children lay side by side on the bed, and began to play together head to head.
"Look, what a car~" Su Zhiqiao grabbed the car and rolled around on the mat.
Shen Mu hadn't played with toys much before, but at this moment, his attention was not on this novelty car at all, but fixed on the side to look at this curly-haired kid, Su Zhiqiao was wearing a pink blue pajamas with lace , there is a bow on the pocket, she looks more beautiful than the little granddaughter of the village head's family, and her body is fragrant and soft, so it is very comfortable to hold.He hadn't been hugged like this since his mother and grandmother passed away.
Shen Mu's focused eyes made Su Zhiqiao even more excited. He proudly showed off how to play the car, and then handed it to Shen Mu: "It's my brother's turn to drive."
Shen Mu picked up the car and slid it on the mat, there was some resistance.His black eyes rolled around, and he looked at the edge of the bed. The edge of the bed was a smooth piece of wood. Shen Mu put the car on it, and it immediately slid smoothly.
"Wow, the car is so fast!" Su Zhiqiao opened her mouth wide in surprise, her eyes turned into admiration when she looked at Shen Mu.Shen Mu glanced at Su Zhiqiao, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips slowly curled up.
"Mumuke is so smart, look, how well the car drives." Su Mingyuan hurried up to check his favorability.
Shen Mu immediately jumped back to the vigilant state, moved back with a sullen face, and dragged Su Zhiqiao along the way, acting like a protector.
Su Mingyuan: "..." The key is why Su Zhiqiao followed suit!
Su Zhiqiao, of course, just thought it was fun, so he treated his father as a villain, hid aside with Shen Mu, continued to play with the car, and completely forgot about the snack.
Su Mingyuan sighed and could only take his time.However, when Shen Mu saw Su Zhiqiao, his eyes became a little lively, showing the color that a five-year-old child should have. He was very relieved to see the two children getting along well.
The next day, when Secretary Liao and the driver returned to the village, Su Zhiqiao and Shen Mu were already squatting at the door to play.Shen Mu doesn't have any toys, but he is very smart, he can even weave exquisite toys by pulling a few stalks of dog's tail grass.
"Qiao Qiao wants it." Su Zhiqiao stared at the straw ring in Shen Mu's hand.
Su Zhiqiao had a lot in hand, Shen Mu made up one and he wanted one, Shen Mu was a little annoyed.Seeing that Shen Mu didn't say a word, with a serious face on the floor, Secretary Liao only thought that he was upset. He had seen this kid do something to Su Zhiqiao, so he hurried out to smooth things over: "Qiao Qiao, come here, Uncle Liao brought you a small cake." .”
"Cake!" Su Zhiqiao turned her head to Uncle Liao, and was about to stand up immediately, but her hand was grabbed.
With a light on his finger, Shen Mu put the grass ring on his chubby finger, and then stared at him with black eyes.For some reason, Su Zhiqiao thought of the little dog at grandma's house, who would stare at him like this every time he bit something bad.
Su Zhiqiao moved her fingers, the ears of the dog's tail grass were fluffy, Su Zhiqiao felt satisfied after admiring herself, took Shen Mu's hand and squatted back, he picked out the ugliest straw toy from a bunch of straw toys : "This is for my brother."
Shen Mu smiled a little.
"It's strange, why did the two children get better all of a sudden?" The driver came over and smiled as he saw it.
"Children, it's easy to play together." Su Mingyuan came out of the main room, and saw the two children playing intimately, so his face looked a little better.He had just heard something about Shen Mu from the village head, and he was in a bad mood.A child without a father and no mother, living in his uncle's house, and meeting such an aunt again, no wonder he can't even speak now.
The driver put all the luggage in the car and asked, "Shall we leave now?"
"Go." Su Mingyuan nodded.
Secretary Liao asked suspiciously, "Isn't that kid unwilling to leave?"
"Try it." Su Mingyuan took a deep breath, walked towards the two children, squatted down and looked at them, "Mumu, Qiao Qiao, what are you playing?"
"My brother made it up for me! Rings, worms, cages—" Su Zhiqiao hurriedly presented the treasure.
Su Mingyuan boasted in surprise: "It's so powerful, it's really well edited, Mumu, uncle likes it too, can I give one to uncle?"
Shen Mu closed his mouth tightly, took a look at Su Mingyuan, then lowered his head and picked out a small cage for him.The handwork of this small cage looks like it was made by a child. It is a little childish, but very childlike.Su Mingyuan never expected that Shen Mu would actually give it to him, holding the cage carefully, he was very excited. "Thank you, Mumu." Su Mingyuan made persistent efforts and coaxed Shen Mu: "We're going home today. Okay? When we get to the city, uncle will take you and Qiao Qiao to eat at Peony House..."
As Su Mingyuan said, he stretched out his hand to Shen Mu, who knew that when he heard "in the city", Shen Mu shrank back vigilantly and ran away, with rejection written all over his body.
"Hey, Mumu!" Su Mingyuan didn't catch it, and cried out with a headache.
"Qiaoqiao wants to eat!" Su Zhiqiao jumped into his father's arms when he heard it, the cat's eyes were shining, and he even drooled.
"Snack guy, you are everywhere." Su Mingyuan pinched his nose and hugged the little guy.
"What should I do? Take him away by force?" Seeing that Su Mingyuan failed to seduce him, Secretary Liao came over to discuss in a low voice.
"It's not like I didn't try it yesterday..." Su Mingyuan said in frustration.Shen Mu refused to leave yesterday, they tried to force him into the car.As a result, the five-year-old boy was so crazy when he jumped up and down, he didn't say a word, his short legs kicked like a hot wheel, he twisted and kicked, he clung to the car door and refused to get up.
He couldn't make a sound, his little face was flushed, and he felt distressed just looking at it.The adults were afraid of hurting him, so they didn't dare to use too much force. In the end, they didn't take him into the car, and Su Mingyuan was kicked all over in ashes.Thinking of this, Secretary Liao also had lingering fears: "Then what should I do? Stay longer? The company..."
"That can't be helped." Su Mingyuan looked back at Shen Mu, only to find that he was staring at Su Zhiqiao, with nervousness written all over his face.
In a flash of inspiration, Su Mingyuan found himself standing by the car door with Secretary Liao. Could it be that Shen Mu thought they were leaving?He suddenly had an idea, and shouted to Su Zhiqiao: "Qiaoqiao, we are going home."
"I still want to play here~" Su Zhiqiao put her arms around her father's neck coquettishly.
"You don't want to eat Peony House? Burgers, French fries..." Su Mingyuan counted Su Zhiqiao's favorite food.
"Yes! Then let's go now!" Su Zhiqiao turned her head for a second and pointed into the car.
"Okay, then we'll go back now. We won't be back in the future." Su Mingyuan hugged Su Zhiqiao and moved a step into the car, but his eyes were on Shen Mu's side.
Su Mingyuan took a step towards the car door with Su Zhiqiao in his arms, and Shen Mu nervously moved forward, his eyes still fixed on Su Zhiqiao.
"Mu Mu, do you want to come? Qiao Qiao is leaving." Su Mingyuan discussed with Shen Mu very gently.
Secretary Liao understood, and said loudly: "If Mumu doesn't come, Qiaoqiao has to go back alone. Qiaoqiao, you will not be able to play with brother anymore."
Hearing this, Su Zhiqiao, who had been crying before, also came to his senses, and stared at his father: "Brother, let's go too!"
"Then you go and tell your brother." Su Mingyuan encouraged his son and put Su Zhiqiao on the ground.
Su Zhiqiao ran over and grabbed Shen Mu's hand: "Brother, go home. Eat hamburger... French fries... Chill." Su Zhiqiao made gestures while talking, making herself greedy.
Shen Mu tightly grasped Su Zhiqiao's hand, as if grasping a lost and recovered treasure.
"Come on, let's go home together, shall we?" Su Mingyuan approached slowly.
"..." Shen Mu stared at him vigilantly, and led Su Zhiqiao back, all the way back under the tree, then turned his back and blocked Su Zhiqiao with himself.
He didn't say a word, but Su Mingyuan inexplicably understood what he meant.
"Did he say... Qiao Qiao stays, we can go?" Secretary Liao was in a complicated mood.
"……Seems to be."
The group lingered under the tree for a long time, but they failed to convince Shen Mu. Instead, Su Zhiqiao was instigated to have fun with Shen Mu.
Su Mingyuan frightened him: "Qiaoqiao, let's go, you and your brother can stay here by yourself."
Su Zhiqiao waved goodbye to his father cheerfully: "bye~"
Su Mingyuan never expected that Shen Mu didn't abduct him, but his son was compensated.There was no other way, he had no choice but to be tough, and took Su Zhiqiao away directly, and got into the car.
"Brother! I want a brother!" Su Zhiqiao yelled.
Shen Mu immediately chased after him, but instead of getting in the car, he stood by the car door and looked at Su Zhiqiao.
"Brother won't go with us, you can ask brother, can't you?" Su Mingyuan said deliberately.
"Brother, go together! Brother, go with Qiaoqiao!" Su Zhiqiao yelled, her eyes were red, and tears began to roll in her eyes.
Su Mingyuan continued his efforts: "Then let your brother get in the car."
"Brother..." Su Zhiqiao stretched out his hand to Shen Mu eagerly.
Shen Mu's eye circles gradually turned red.But he tightly put his hands behind his back, and refused to get into the car no matter what.Secretary Liao wanted to carry him up, but he ran away again.
"Why is this kid so stubborn?" The driver looked tired.
Su Mingyuan gritted his teeth: "Drive!"
The car started slowly and drove forward at a slow speed.
"Brother! Whoa! I want my brother!" Didn't you agree that your brother would go back with you?Daddy liar!The more Su Zhiqiao thought about it, the more sad she became. Seeing the car started, the big tree, the old house, and Brother Mumu were all left behind, she couldn't help crying anymore.
Hearing his son's sad little voice, Su Mingyuan also felt a little distressed, reluctant to let his son be left alone... Shen Mu.He touched his son's small face and continued to coax: "In the future, no brother will weave rings for you, and no one will drive with you, so you can stay alone."
"Wow! Dad is a big liar!" Su Zhiqiao's cry was another key.
"Is this going to work? Qiao Qiao should be crying to death!" Secretary Liao was in a panic.
"Here we come! We're catching up!" The driver yelled while staring at the rearview mirror.
Su Mingyuan immediately leaned out of the car window to look. A small figure was chasing the car and staggered a bit on the way.
Shen Mu's ears were filled with his own wheezing, he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were only on the car in front, and there was Qiao Qiao in the car.Shen Mu's little heart seems to be swollen with something, he can't think of anything, only one goal: to catch up with Qiao Qiao.
He couldn't run soon, his stomach hurt and his legs hurt, but he still insisted on chasing the car.The car drove very slowly, and there was only a short distance between him and Shen Mu, but it seemed impossible for a five-year-old child to catch up.
The car stopped, the door opened, Su Zhiqiao was put on the ground by Su Mingyuan, and Da Da Da ran towards him.
"Brother!" Su Zhiqiao hugged him like a small cannonball with tears still on her face.Babies who watch Qiong Yao dramas with their mothers are just such dramas.
Su Mingyuan and the others poked their heads out of the car. I don't know what Su Zhiqiao said, but the two little guys walked over holding hands.Su Mingyuan hugged each other into the car, quickly closed the door and left.
Shen Mu stuck to the car window tightly, looking at the distant village, his black eyes showed sadness and reluctance that didn't match his age.Fortunately, Su Zhiqiao was still around, pestering Shen Mu to make a fuss, and quickly diverted his attention.
The long-distance drive was very long, and the two children fell asleep, nestling head to head in Su Mingyuan's arms, like two cubs being affectionate.Su Mingyuan patted the child's back lightly, sighing silently.
After such a long delay, the child was finally found.Su Mingyuan never thought that his two best friends would reappear in his life in this way after breaking up for so long.
At the beginning, Su Mingyuan and his childhood sweetheart Shang Yingrong were admitted to the university of God Capital together. Under the arrangement of Su's family, the two entered Shen's subsidiary as an intern and got to know Shen Qianshan.Shen Qianshan was a senior three years above them. Shen Qianshan had a good background, good looks, and his vision and handling methods were what young people like them looked up to.Shang Yingrong liked to cling to this senior, and even brought Su Mingyuan into contact with him.
However, Shen Qianshan took great care of Su Mingyuan, which made Su Mingyuan, who was originally jealous, feel embarrassed, and instead was overwhelmed by Shen Qianshan's charisma.Gradually, he and Shen Qianshan went in and out together every day, but put Shang Yingrong aside.
Until one day, Shang Yingrong found him.
"I'm pregnant. It's Shen Qianshan's child."
Su Mingyuan didn't know how to answer, nor how to judge, and he didn't even feel the anger of being betrayed in his heart.Shen Qianshan was married a long time ago. Although he never mentioned his family, the whole company knew that he married a well-matched wife under the arrangement of his family. His son just celebrated his third birthday.
Shang Yingrong refused to let Su Mingyuan go to Shen Qianshan, and left by herself, no one knew where she went.Su Mingyuan looked for her in despair for a while, and it happened that something happened at home, so he hurried home to inherit the family business, and married his wife under the arrangement of his parents.
On Su Zhiqiao's first birthday, Shen Qianshan came uninvited.Looking at the child in his arms, his eyes were full of complex emotions: "I have children, so fast."
"Your child is probably older than him." Su Mingyuan replied coldly.
Shen Qianshan just hooked the corners of his lips, teasing the powdery baby, as if he couldn't understand Su Mingyuan's sarcasm: "It looks like you. Can I hug you?"
Su Mingyuan hesitated and handed the child over.Shen Qianshan was not very proficient in holding the child, so he hugged the child cautiously.The little baby was not afraid of life, stared at Shen Qianshan with dark eyes, and grinned with a toothless mouth that smelled of milk.
Shen Qianshan looked at him quietly, and the little baby came up to him, opened his toothless mouth, and gnawed on his face, leaving a watermark.
"Qiao Qiao!" Su Mingyuan quickly hugged him back, and explained apologetically, "He has long teeth and loves to bite."
"It's okay, it's rare for a child to kiss me." Shen Qianshan wiped his face with a smile, and when he raised his eyes, the assistant immediately handed over a red envelope, "I didn't have time to prepare a gift."
Before Su Mingyuan could refuse, Su Zhiqiao had already grabbed the red paper seal and giggled.
"Little guy." Shen Qianshan smiled slightly, and touched his cheek with complicated eyes, like tender tofu, "softer than your father."
"What are you talking about?" Su Mingyuan was already a father, and he couldn't help himself.
Shen Qianshan finally laughed, reached out to rub his hair, suddenly paused, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "Student has grown up."
When Shen Qianshan got into the car and left, Su Mingyuan couldn't help but catch up a step, and lowered his voice: "You really don't intend to find Yingrong and the child?"
"Apart from this sentence, do you have anything else you want to tell me?" Shen Qianshan asked back.
"Is there anything more important than this?" Su Mingyuan frowned.
Shen Qianshan's smile gradually disappeared, he took a deep look at Su Mingyuan, and slammed the car door.
Since then, they have never seen each other again.
……
Shen Qianshan completely disappeared in Su Mingyuan's world.Until one day Shen Mu asked Su Mingyuan: "Are you my father?"
When she asked this question, Shen Mu could already speak.He lived well in the Su family, but his personality was always reserved.On this day, Su Mingyuan held his two children as usual and told them stories.
After a story was told, Su Zhiqiao was already sound asleep, but Shen Mu secretly asked this question with his eyes open.The small body was tense, and it was obvious that he mustered up the courage to ask.
Su Mingyuan's eyes became hot, and he touched his head with a smile: "Do you think I'm your father?"
"I...don't know." Shen Mu clenched his fists, his cheeks felt hot, and he lowered his head again, "You are not. Mom said Dad doesn't like me and doesn't want us."
Although he was still very young when Shang Qian passed away, he still remembered these words.What's more, his aunt reminded him all the time, you are a bastard, your father doesn't want you and your mother anymore, and left you at my house to eat.
"No. Mu Mu is a good boy." Su Mingyuan didn't know how to comfort the child. He hugged Shen Mu and kissed the top of his hair. "This is your home. Can you treat uncle as your father?"
Shen Mu's dark eyes stared at him for a long time, then suddenly buried in his arms, and gave a muffled hum.
For five-year-old Shen Mu, this period of time was like a dream.In his memory, after his mother and grandmother left one after another, his aunt scolded him and refused to give him food when he got angry, and his cousin liked to beat him, and would stuff things like frogs and snakes into his clothes.My uncle leaves early and returns late every day, and doesn't care about anything. Shen Mu can only try to reduce his sense of existence and avoid attracting other people's attention.
Now, he lives in the warm and comfortable Su family, and his uncles and aunts regard him as a treasure, as well as his favorite Qiao Qiao.He hasn't felt this way for a long time, like a person who has been trekking through the ice and snow for a long time, and suddenly encounters a door that he wants to open. Inside the door is a warm stove and food, and he is afraid to approach it for a while.He was afraid that when he woke up, he would return to that dilapidated and dark hut, like he had done countless times in the past.
"Brother..." Su Zhiqiao suddenly muttered, and arched into her father's arms.
Shen Mu raised his head immediately, Su Mingyuan understood, and carried Su Zhiqiao to the side of the bed, letting him lie down with Shen Mu.Su Zhiqiao turned over and hugged Shen Mu with her little hands.His body was fragrant and soft, driving away all the messy thoughts in Shen Mu's mind.Shen Mu yawned, feeling sleepy in an instant.
After covering the two little guys with blankets, Su Mingyuan backed out lightly, and was about to turn off the lights when he almost bumped into someone.Looking back, his wife in her pajamas shushed him.
"Why are you here?" Su Mingyuan whispered.
"Mu Muai kicked the quilt, let me come and see." Under Su Mingyuan's smiling gaze, Shang Qian snorted angrily, turning into anger from embarrassment, "What if he catches a cold and infects Qiao Qiao?"
"Okay, okay, I got it." Su Mingyuan hugged his hard-mouthed and soft-hearted wife and kissed him, and the two of them looked at the child on the children's bed together.
The two little guys were covered with a sky blue soft quilt, huddled head to head affectionately, sleeping with brows and eyes stretched out, obviously dreaming a sweet dream.
