When Zhong Mu and Dr. Bai were on the phone, Zhuo Yumo consciously cleared the table and washed the dishes. He even added water to the owners and cleaned up their litter boxes.After finishing his work, he looked up to the balcony. Zhong Mu was still standing there, talking on the phone with Dr. Bai for so long, and he didn't know what was going on.

While thinking, Zhuo Yumo cleaned the kitchen inside and out. Originally, Zhong Mu took good care of the kitchen. After he cleaned it again, the whole kitchen was shining brightly.By the time he finished, Zhong Mu had finally finished his phone call.

"What did Doctor Bai say?" Seeing Zhong Mu approaching, Zhuo Yumo wiped the water from his hands and greeted him, and naturally sat on the sofa with Zhong Mu.And several cats spontaneously surrounded him, lying lazily at his feet, licking their paws.

"

She asked me to go to her place when I came back from the trip.She is not sure what is going on with my current situation. She has almost never been in contact with similar cases before, and she will spend time looking for information and foreign cases. "Zhong Mu put down his phone, looked nervously at Zhuo Yumo beside him, and suddenly sat upright, and said, "I have a question to ask you... very important question. "

Seeing Zhong Mu's solemn appearance, Zhuo Yumo's heart suddenly moved, and he had a vague premonition, which made him nervous.Judging from Zhong Mu's attitude, it seems that it's okay for him to refuse to answer now, but that premonition made him suppress this impulse.

"go ahead."

Zhong Mu, who got permission, clasped his hands vigorously, and then put his hands flat on his legs in a well-trained manner.He looked up at Zhuo Yumo, took a deep breath, and asked slowly, "Do you really... like Luo Ting?"

He "saw" Luo Ting kissing Zhuo Yumo, and also "saw" Zhuo Yumo's reaction at that time.After getting along for so long, he knew Zhuo Yumo's character, even if it was Yan Zhu, his predecessor, if he had too much contact with him, he would swear at him or even beat him, but his kiss to Luo Ting didn't seem to be serious. disgusted.

Zhuo Yumo's premonition was correct, but he was a little surprised that Zhong Mu would ask so directly this time.

Does he like Luo Ting?

In fact, he really didn't think about it seriously - he thought he didn't need to think about it at all.

He thought he had experience in love, but when he thought about it carefully, during those years with Yan Zhu, it seemed that they rarely really enjoyed the so-called "sweetness of love"—he was even a little doubtful about his relationship with Yan Zhu back then. Are those three years really love?Or were those just wishful thinking or delusions on his part?

Zhuo Yumo tilted his head and seriously thought about Zhong Mu's question.

It's just that suddenly, it's hard for him to think of a definite answer.

Everything is still ambiguous.

"Zhuo Yumo."

Just as he was thinking, the young master called his name again, so he came back to his senses and looked at the young man naturally.

Zhong Mu shrank his hand on his lap slightly, but turned it over slowly. He stretched out his palm towards Zhuo Yumo, and asked in a low voice, "Can... can you try to touch me?"

This unexpected request made Zhuo Yumo hesitate for a while, but he reached out his hand carefully and touched the other's index finger with his own finger, trying not to make him feel uncomfortable.And just when their fingers touched each other, Zhong Mu suddenly held his hand very lightly - so light that he could break free with a little force.

But Zhuo Yumo didn't do that.

He knew that Zhong Mu was not too afraid of contact with him now.

He also knew that Zhong Mu's current behavior had a different meaning from all their previous touches.

"On the set that day, your mother asked me in the car how I met you and why I wanted to marry you. I said, I have always admired the heroes in movies, and I like the martial arts moves you designed for those heroes. I I am very envious of their chicness, and I have yearning and admiration for you. I said that I didn't have a sudden whim, but I was moved and attracted by you when we didn't know each other." Zhong Mu said, slowly pulling Zhuo Yu Mo clenched his hands, "I told your mother, I am a very boring and self-willed person, but you can still tolerate me and are willing to help me. I am not lonely at all now."

Zhong Mu's tone was calm and gentle, but his face was getting redder and redder, but he still stared firmly into Zhuo Yumo's eyes, even though he was shy, he had no intention of moving away.

"I promised your mother to take care of you, but I didn't tell you. In fact...that wasn't a lie to appease your parents. I really—I, I think I should...really fall in love with you gone."

I didn't want to admit it before, half of it was because of my vain self-esteem, and the other half was because I was afraid that Zhuo Yumo would be hurt.

But after sleeping for so many days, after witnessing all kinds of things Zhuo Yumo and Luo Ting did together, he finally realized that pushing the people he values ​​far away cannot protect them, only he can become stronger, and only make himself an indestructible fortress , in order to protect the beloved.

Although Zhong Mu's confession was expected, Zhuo Yumo was still stunned because of shock.

It's not surprising to be confessed.

It's not like he hasn't had this kind of experience before. Since he was a child, there are always men and women stuffing love letters into his schoolbag or drawer. He is also puzzled why some people can easily fall in love with someone just by their skin. Naturally, he didn't give those people any Opportunities, tenderly but firmly, turned them down.

It was only at this moment that I accidentally learned how Zhong Mu convinced his mother to believe them that day.

No wonder.

Lies can't fool mother.

But there is no deception in the truth.

Zhong Mu spoke so sincerely that Zhuo Yumo's nose was inexplicably sore.Because he has never been alone, Zhong Mu has to rely on worshiping heroes who do not exist to fill his long loneliness.

But he also couldn't figure out his feelings for Zhong Mu.

I always feel that there are still some clues that cannot be clarified.

Facing Zhong Mu's confession, he couldn't say a word.

Probably seeing through the hesitation in his heart, Zhong Mu smiled, let go of his hand solemnly, blinked, and said, "I don't want you to nod, I don't want you to give it now." I'll answer. I just... just tell you what's in my heart. I have to catch a plane tomorrow morning, so you go and pack your things first."

Knowing that it was Zhong Mu who was looking for steps for him, Zhuo Yumo lowered his head guiltily, but followed his words and got up and went upstairs.

The next morning, the two of them got up early as usual, Zhong Mu went for a run, Zhuo Yumo practiced the basic skills for a while, and then had a simple breakfast.

No one mentioned last night's confession.

After feeding the cats, Zhong Mu coaxed them into the cage.He will go out for a few days and will not be at home, so he will temporarily store them in a pet store.

The two of them didn't bring much luggage. They first went to the pet store to send a sample cat, and then went straight to Zhuo Yumo's house to pick up his parents.

The old couple also got up early to pack their things, and they were very happy to see Zhong Mu finally came to the door.But they also remembered what their son said that Zhong Mu was not used to being in contact with people, and kept a distance from him in a measured manner.On the way to the airport, the old couple had been caring about Zhong Mu in various ways, including work, life, health... in every aspect, and they even praised the doctor Zhong Mu introduced.Zhuo Yumo thought that Zhong Mu would be annoyed, so he almost took out his mobile phone and secretly sent a wechat message to his father to remind them to pay attention, but Zhong Mu was very generous all the way, and he answered whatever the old man asked without showing any unpleasant expression.

It was already afternoon when the group arrived at the hotel.

It is more appropriate to say it is a hotel here than a high-end homestay.Secretary Yan knew that the boss did not eat out, so every time he booked a hotel for him, he would find a homestay with excellent environment, transportation and security, so that he could live comfortably and cook for himself.

This time, Secretary Yan booked a two-story seaside villa for them. The balcony of the master bedroom faced the sea.

Young people help their parents move their luggage to the master bedroom, while they themselves live in the second bedroom next door.As soon as he put away his luggage, Zhong Mu ran to the kitchen to do some tinkering. After Zhuo Yumo settled down with his parents, he went out to find a supermarket to help Zhong Mu buy groceries.He and his parents ate airplane meals on the plane, and Zhong Mu only drank water.His habit of not eating out sometimes really gave Zhuo Yumo a headache.

When he came back with the ingredients, he also brought back a few leaflets, which seemed to be the promotion of the recent seaside activities.

"Bonfire party?" Zhong Mu glanced at the flyer, and then showed a disgusted expression.He took out the ingredients and cooked them neatly. He heated up the pot and prepared to make seafood noodles.

"Someone distributed it at the entrance of the supermarket, so I took it." Zhuo Yumo leaned against the cooking counter and looked at Zhong Mu quietly.

Zhong Mu was still wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, revealing the watch on his hand.He was wearing a half-new blue floral apron, which should have been prepared by the homeowner here.Zhuo Yumo thinks it is not as cute as the piggy page and Doraemon apron at home, but... Zhong Mu looks amazingly good-looking when she wears it.

Having been together for a long time, Zhuo Yumo found that Zhong Mu is the kind of person who is serious about everything he does. Some people do things lazily or carelessly, but Zhong Mu is different. No matter what he does, he must be very serious and devoted do it.Just like him now, wearing an apron, staring at the fire very seriously, meticulously putting the ingredients into the pot, seasoning, stirring, and adding water to cook slowly.

For some reason, seeing such a young master, Zhuo Yumo suddenly felt particularly...at ease.

"You don't like places with a lot of people, right? If there are activities at the beach at night, there must be a lot of people. Why don't we go..."

"Do uncles and aunts like that kind of activity?" Sweaty from the steam around the pot, Zhong Mu took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, turned to look at Zhuo Yumo, and said seriously, "If they want to go , we will go with you."

"but you……"

"I'm fine." Zhong Mu looked at Zhuo Yumo and blinked slowly, "Then take uncle and aunt to the beach tonight."
