sleepy tiger

On the weekend when Yang Bing was resting, Mu Xu got into the cab, rolled down the window, and said to Li Hongyang who came to see him off in light clothes, "Go back, it's cold outside."

Li Hongyang put his hands into the pockets of his pajamas, exhaled whitely, and said, "It's rare to see you driving by yourself, you're quite handsome."

Mu Xu pursed his lips in embarrassment, put down the handbrake, started the car, and said, "I'm leaving."

Li Hongyang waved his hand and watched the car window rise, blocking his sight from Mu Xu's face.The jet-black Hongqi car turned around and drove out of the community neatly. Li Hongyang stood at the door of the unit, his shoulders slumped in desolation, and he turned and went upstairs slowly.

Mu Xu turned on the navigation and drove all the way to the Capital Airport.It's an hour's drive, and it's also an hour's flight from Dalian to Beijing.

Chi Juntao watched eagerly as the tall buildings outside the porthole got closer and closer, his whole face was pressed against the glass, his heart was pounding, as if he had a rabbit in his arms, kicking and thumping dishonestly.

Chi You watched his cousin's movements in wonder, and secretly muttered to himself that Chi Juntao had never behaved like this in a plane, so it's possible that this little lunatic once again rekindled his appreciation for the night view of Beijing.

The Hongqi car turned into the parking lot and parked in a parking space near the intersection. Mu Xu sat in the driver's seat and sent Chi Juntao a WeChat message [I'm at the parking lot. 】

[Chi Juntao: I just landed, 10 minutes. 】

【Mu Xu: OK】

Mu Xu turned on the music, lowered the back of the seat, and relaxed his body. Faye Wong's voice flowed slowly, melodiously, and sang a bit of warmth in the cold winter night.

"I'm staggering to hold your hand, please take me to tomorrow..."

* "As Wish" Faye Wong

Falling into a dream, he couldn't see the face of the man in the dream clearly, and the familiar scent of soap lingered at the tip of his nose.The young Mu Xu sat on the man's lap, listening to the scattered discussions and laughter around him.

"Our Xiaoxu likes playing with building blocks the most." The man said, "Isn't it?"

Mu Xu nodded, and the man smiled: "When this is done, I will give Xiao Xu a whole set of castle building blocks."

When this was done, Mu Xu sneered, and the young body sitting on his lap suddenly turned into a young man stepping on the floor with a briefcase, looking around, he was the only one left in the lively living room.

"Dong dong dong."

The sound of knocking on the car window awakened Mu Xu. He sat up, unlocked the car door, and Chi Juntao got into the co-pilot familiarly: "Are you sleepy? I see you fell asleep."

"A little sleepy." Mu Xu let out a breath, saw a strange man standing at the front of the car, and asked puzzledly: "This is..."

"My cousin." Chi Juntao pouted, "I asked him to take a taxi, but he didn't."

Mu Xu lowered the car window and said to Chi You, "Come on, I'll see you off."

Chi You got into the car with a smile against Chi Juntao's dissatisfied eyes, and said, "My cousin insisted that you don't like strangers riding in your car."

Mu Xu glanced at Chi Juntao, started the car silently, and didn't save Chi Juntao's face.The overly real dream made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wanted to finish the meal and go home to rest.

Chi Juntao noticed that Mu Xu was not in a good mood, and said, "If you're tired, go home, I'll be with you."

"I'm not tired." Mu Xu said, "It's okay."

As the car got closer to Shijingshan, Mu Xu's fatigue was replaced by nervousness. He was about to meet Chi Yan, the person who directly killed Ji Ke, Mu Baiying's lifelong enemy, and the creator of his childhood shadow.

"My mother once said that I forgot some things." Mu Xu said slowly, "Things from my childhood."

Chi Juntao didn't understand why Mu Xu suddenly talked about the past, but he was very willing to listen. There are not many opportunities like this. Mu Xu has a tight mouth and hardly talks about his childhood life on his own initiative.

"She said that I didn't speak for the first three months in London." Mu Xu said, "She was busy looking for a job and didn't have time to take care of me, so she put me at the neighbor Mrs. Brown's house."

"I learned to bake apple pie at Mrs. Brown's house." Mu Xu said lightly, he stepped on the brakes, and the car turned into an exit of the viaduct, "I lived in Beijing before I was six years old, but unfortunately I don't remember many things clearly Oh, maybe I've met Mr. Chi before." He looked at the rearview mirror above the windshield, Chi You was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's been too long, even if we met when we were young, I can't remember it. "

"Yes." Mu Xu said, he looked at Chi Juntao, "how do we go next?"

"Go along this road." Chi Juntao said, staring at Mu Xu's side face, keenly aware of something wrong with Mu Xu, he said, "It's too late, let's sit for 10 minutes and leave. "

"Where are you going?" Chi You asked.

"My things are at Mu Xu's house." Chi Juntao said, "I'll go back and tidy up."

"Let's clean it up tomorrow." Chi You said.

Chi Juntao turned a deaf ear and said to Mu Xu, "I'll go back with you."

Mu Xu nodded: "Yes."

Young Master Chi, who was mentally prepared to be rejected, was stunned, and immediately clapped his hands. If it wasn't for Chi You's big light bulb, he would definitely ask Mu Xu if he thought it would be nice to live with him.

Following Chi You's instructions to the gate of the community, Mu Xu asked Chi Juntao, "Your grandfather doesn't live in a villa?"

"He doesn't like big houses." Chi Juntao said, "Grandpa thinks small houses are cozy and easy to take care of."

Mu Xu parked his car in a narrow parking space, next to a dusty army green Land Rover, Mu Xu asked, "Is this your car?"

"Yes." Chi Juntao touched the Land Rover's door, shaking his hands in disgust, "It's too dirty, I'll wash the car tomorrow."

"Grandpa is waiting for us upstairs." Chi You urged Chi Juntao, "Go quickly."

The building in the community looks quite old. Chi Juntao ran into the elevator in three steps and said, "Although this building was repaired early, an elevator was installed when it was repaired. A few years ago, an elevator was replaced to ensure safety. .”

Chi You had never seen his cousin talk so much to anyone, he stepped into the elevator silently to act as a background board.

Mu Xu asked, "What did you go to Dalian for?"

"Hanyang's brother bought a boat and asked me to show it off." Chi Juntao said, "It's boring."

"Do you like boats?" Mu Xu asked.

"I like cars." Chi Juntao said, "After entering the system, I can't drive well."

"You can't wear a particularly good watch either." Chi You said.

The elevator reached the third floor, the door opened, facing the wide open door of the house, Chi You said: "Go in, Grandpa should be waiting."

Mu Xu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He let go of his tightly clenched fists, his palms were covered with sweat, and Chi Juntao caught him without realizing it. Chi Juntao frowned: "Why are your hands so cold?"

Mu Xu's expression was tense, he put his hands into his pockets, and whispered: "Behave."

"Xiao Tao." The old man's slow voice sounded, and Chi Yan stood at the entrance, standing upright and energetic, "Why don't you come in?"

"Here we come." Chi Juntao ran over quickly, bent over to change his shoes, he was very good at currying favor with elders, he raised his hands to support Chi Yan's elbows with a smile, "I heard my cousin said that Aunt Ren made hairy crabs, I flew back from Dalian immediately, just to have a bite."

Chi Yan didn't disagree, and looked at Mu Xu: "Who is this?"

"Jajin's president, Mu Xu." Chi You said, "The person who takes care of Juntao during this time."

"It's all from Minister Zhou." Mu Xu said, "Hello, Mr. Chi."

"Just follow Xiaotao and call him Grandpa." Chi Yan said, he looked Mu Xu up and down several times, and said, "Sit inside."

Chi Juntao coaxed Chi Yan to sit at the dining table, grabbed a chair and sat down, and patted the empty space beside him to signal Mu Xu to sit over. Chi You was pushed to the other side of the dining table and pitifully sat face to face with Chi Yan.

"Xiao Tao is here?" Aunt Ren, the nanny who took care of Chi Yan, stepped out of the kitchen with a plate and greeted warmly, "Hurry up, eat while it's hot, your favorite salt and pepper lobster."

"The hairy crabs are in the back." Chi Yan said, "Eat it."

"Grandpa, I miss you so much." Chi Juntao peeled a piece of lobster meat and put it on Chi Yan's dinner plate.

"Hmph." Chi Yan squeezed out a cold snort, "I only sent me one text message in three months, is this called missing me?"

"I'm afraid of delaying your affairs." Chi Juntao said, "Minister Chi."

"Minister or not." Chi Yan was amused by Chi Juntao, he especially liked Chi Juntao's measured jokes, "There are so many words, eat quickly, it will get cold later."

"Yeah." Chi Juntao stacked the peeled lobster meat in the middle of the plate, put it between him and Mu Xu, turned his head and said to Mu Xu, "You eat."

Mu Xu pursed his lips: "I peel it myself."
