Chapter 72 The White Jade Buddha

Chi Juntao fell into a light sleep with his head next to the car window, Mu Xu lightly stepped on the brakes, and the Land Rover slowly stopped at the intersection, the ground illuminated by the low beams was wet.

Chi Juntao fell into a light sleep with his head next to the car window, Mu Xu lightly stepped on the brakes, and the Land Rover slowly stopped at the intersection, the ground illuminated by the low beams was wet.In the middle of the night, there were few people, and the six-lane road was wide and quiet. Mu Xu moved his left hand to the button to control the car window, wanting to roll down the window to blow the cold wind. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Chi Juntao who was sleeping soundly. He withdrew his hand and put it on the steering wheel. Looking straight at the countdown to the red light.

When the red light turned to green, the Land Rover started at a constant speed. Mu Xu heard the rustling sound and said, "Are you awake?"

"Not asleep." Chi Juntao rubbed his eyes and sat up, his expression not very good.

Mu Xu glanced at him, his gaze stayed on the red spot on the side of the other's neck for a moment, and said, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Well." Chi Juntao said, "It's not a nightmare."

"I'll be home in 10 minutes, tell me." Mu Xu said.

"When I was young, the children in the compound laughed at my dad, saying he was a big lover." Chi Juntao said, "They said that lovers are trash."

Mu Xu raised his eyebrows: "Interesting point of view."

"I don't believe my dad is trash, so I secretly ran to see him." Chi Juntao said, "I told you about it, he was walking in the sunset carrying an old canvas bag with the words "Marriage" printed on the bag. According to."

"My father is a..." Chi Juntao frowned, looking for a suitable adjective, "He is an emotional person."

"I guess your mother is a rational person." Mu Xu said.

Chi Juntao took out the photo frame from his arms, touched the face of the woman in the photo cherishingly, and said, "This is the first time I've seen her."

"How do you feel?" Mu Xu said.

"Very good." Chi Juntao said, his eyes lingeringly on the photo.

"Your eyes are like hers." Mu Xu said, he turned the steering wheel, and the Land Rover turned into the neighborhood.

Chi Juntao stared at Li Mengxiao's eyes for a while, and said, "Her eyes are prettier."

Mu Xu parked the Land Rover in the parking space, pulled out the car key, pinched the back of Chi Juntao's neck, and said, "Let's go upstairs and sleep."

Chi Juntao pushed the door and got out of the car, walked quickly to follow Mu Xu, and asked, "Do your eyes look like your mother or your father?"

"Maybe like my dad." Mu Xu said, "My mom's eyes are bigger than mine."

"Why don't you remember things from your childhood?" Chi Juntao asked.

"...I don't know." Mu Xu walked through the unit door and stepped up the stairs, "My mother said that when I first went abroad, I was in a bad mental state and didn't speak for a whole year."

Chi Juntao grabbed Mu Xu's hand, put it in his palm, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Mu Xu held the other party's hot hand and said, "Tell me something interesting, I skipped class."

"Skipping class?" Chi Juntao was really interested, he said, "I thought you were a good boy."

"The rebellious period of good children is even more troublesome." Mu Xu stood in front of the door, took out the key to open the door, "It's not because of any serious business that I skipped class."

"Did you skip class in junior high?" Chi Juntao asked.

"High school." Mu Xu said, "I went to Eton College, and my classmates were all from aristocratic backgrounds. My stepfather has the title of Earl, and I was able to enter Eton through his light."

"Eton is a boarding school for boys. The classmate who lives next door to me talked about an American girl on Twitter. The girl's family is good. He told him that he would come to England for a week's vacation and be in London on Tuesday." Mu Xu bent over to change his shoes, took off The coat is hanging in the closet. "I said that girl is a liar. He doesn't believe me. I bet you that we will climb over the wall and run to London together on Monday night."

"The result?" Chi Juntao asked.

"That girl is neither American, nor a chaebol princess, nor even a girl." Mu Xu smiled sullenly, "I climbed over the wall and went back to school in the early morning, but I was not punished. He was demerited, which is nothing."

"I asked him what happened to the two of us after we arrived at the hotel." Mu Xu said, "He said he turned off the light and gritted his teeth."

Chi Juntao said, "Everyone is here."

Mu Xu took it for granted: "Everyone is here, thieves don't leave empty space."

Chi Juntao and Mu Xu laughed back when he said "Thieves don't leave empty space". He and Mu Xu stepped into the master bedroom together. clothing."

Chi Juntao quickly ran into the side sleeper, picked up his few clothes and walked back, and put them in Mu Xu's closet. He straightened up in satisfaction, and said, "It's just right."

Mu Xu said: "You can wear my clothes, we don't have to distinguish so clearly."

Chi Juntao rolled his eyes and readily agreed, "Okay."

Chi Juntao was assigned a space in the closet. For Mu Xu, it was not just a closet. It meant that he was trying to open up his personal space and accept another person.He had never had anyone come so close to him except his family.

Chi Juntao is an exception among the exceptions, and the relationship between them is also unprecedentedly complicated and entangled.Mu Xu looked at Chi Juntao, who fumbled around in the master bedroom and almost jumped up and cheered, but there was no repulsion or disgust in his heart, which was very strange.It has to be said that Chi Juntao brought him too many wonderful feelings.

"Aren't you tired?" Mu Xu asked.

"Tired." Chi Juntao said, he opened Mu Xu's drawer, picked up a watch and checked it carefully, "I remember you have worn this watch many times."

"Its style is more business-like." Mu Xu said, "It's suitable for meetings and conversations."

"Oh." Chi Juntao said, "It makes you look older."

"I'm older than you." Mu Xu said, "You will also need a watch like this in the future."

"Why do you have to wear a watch? You can also tell the time on your mobile phone." Chi Juntao doesn't like to hang some odd things on his body, which makes him feel restrained.

Standing by the closet, Mu Xu realized that he was going to give Chi Juntao a gift to express his heart. After all, Chi Juntao had carefully prepared an engagement banquet, and he really had a great time on the cruise ship.

"Juntao." Mu Xu turned around and opened the wardrobe door, opened the middle drawer, picked up a rectangular exquisite paper box, opened it, and there was a white jade Buddha sitting inside.

"I remember it." Chi Juntao leaned over to look at it, "I thought it was suet jade."

"Ordinary white jade is worthless." Mu Xu said, "My father gave it to me."

"That's more precious than suet jade." Chi Juntao said solemnly.

"For you." Mu Xu stuffed the box into Chi Juntao's hands, "in exchange for the Emerald Jade Buddha."

Chi Juntao's eyes widened. He had already received enough surprises today, and all of them could not compare to this jade Buddha. He stumbled and said, "But, but this..."

"Take it, it's just a piece of Buddha." Mu Xu said.

Chi Juntao looked down at the White Jade Buddha. The surface of the jade was soft and shiny, and it was clean without any scratches. It could be seen that the owner had worn it carefully for many years. He said, "I don't wear it, I will store it for you."

"Why don't you wear it?" Mu Xu asked.

"You are too easy to be deceived, Mu Xu." Chi Juntao closed the lid and said, "Have you ever thought that if I am a fat villain who breaks my promise and you give me this, we will part ways in the future? It's the sword I stabbed at you."

Mu Xu's eyes were flat, and he said: "That's my fault too, because I don't know people well." He pointed to the box containing the White Jade Buddha, "As for it, no matter who gave it, it's just a stone, I don't know who it is. Dad has been dead for many years."

"Someone has to wear it." Mu Xu said, "The current one is a gift from me."

Chi Juntao held the paper box with both hands and said, "I still..."

Mu Xu opened the box, picked up the Jade Buddha, hung it around Chi Juntao's neck, and fastened the lock at the end of the gold chain. He said, "I'm not offering you incense."

Chi Juntao froze in place, not moving for fear of damaging the Jade Buddha. His Adam's apple rolled up and down. After Mu Xu helped him put it on, he stood in front of him and looked around. Chi Juntao carefully asked, "Does it look good?"

Mu Xu raised his hand to adjust the position of the Jade Buddha, making it sit on the collarbone, and said, "It's good."

Chi Juntao's ears turned red, and he said embarrassedly, "I'm going to take a bath."

Mu Xu didn't expose the other party's small thoughts, and said, "Go."

Chi Juntao quickly stepped into the bathroom, closed the door, stood in front of the sink, stretched his neck facing the mirror, and touched the smiling Jade Buddha at the collarbone with his fingertips. The gentle touch was just like Mu Xu's temperament.

He pinched himself hard and let out a "hiss" before he suddenly realized that this was not a dream.

This was given to him by Mu Xu on his own initiative, and it was almost the most cherished item that Mu Xu carried with him. Chi Juntao knew in his heart that Mu Xu said he didn't care, but in fact he cared terribly in his heart.

Mu Xu, who was outside the door, looked at the empty part of the drawer, his eyes flickering and flickering. With a click, he closed the drawer, closed the wardrobe door, and locked the dust-covered past into a corner where the light could not be seen.
