Quick cure: After the yandere boss turns black

Chapter 368 Pampering the Bamboo Horse (15)

Xu Shun was a little embarrassed and slowly raised his head from Mu Qing's arms.

Mu Qing's expression was calm and gentle, and she wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with her fingertips. She didn't dislike him or laugh at him, "I'm here, aren't I? Don't be afraid."

Xu Shun's heart skipped a beat, and a layer of warmth gradually spread on his cheeks. Fortunately, it was dark, so he would not be able to see his blush.

Xu Shun bit his lower lip gently and held on to Mu Qing's sleeve.

"Still scared?"

Xu Shun didn't know what his selfish motives were. He didn't explain that he was no longer afraid, but nodded gently.

Mu Qing sat on the sofa next to her, "Come here and hug her."

Xu Shun's heart was pounding like a drum, beating even faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. He walked slowly to the sofa, sat cross-legged on the sofa, curled up and nestled in Mu Qing's arms. .

Mu Qing: "Are you afraid of the dark?"

The boy nodded slightly.

Mu Qing narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, a strange and dangerous emotion flashed deep in his eyes, and his voice became gentler, "We grew up together, why didn't I know?"

Xu Shun: "Only my parents know that they are also deliberately protecting me from being exposed to too dark environments. I also thought that I would no longer be afraid..."

Xu Shun's voice became lower and lower. Thinking of the past, a trace of fear flashed unconsciously in his dark and pure eyes.

Mu Qing thought for a while, "Before we met? I heard that there was a murder case in the Xu family."

Xu Shun was silent for a long time before Mu Qing felt the little head on his shoulder tap lightly.

Xu Shun's voice was low and slow, "When I was very young, my mother had not yet retired from her position, and my father and I were busy working all day long. I was always taken care of by the nanny at that time, but that nanny... She is a cheater and has a vicious nature. She only wants to be lazy and enjoy herself when she lives in my house. She regards me as a troublemaker because I cannot take care of myself at a young age, so I am often locked in a dark room and beaten when I cry, she thought. She would only give me a bite to eat when I got up. My parents were on a business trip and would not come home for as long as ten days and a half. Amid her threats, I did not dare to file a complaint, so the abuse lasted for half a year..."

The aura on Mu Qing's body was faintly frighteningly cold, and her tone was still gentle, "So in the end, did your parents kill her?"

Xu Shun shook his head, "Almost, the neighbor realized something was wrong and came over to stop it."

After speaking out, Xu Shun felt much better, and the haze covering his heart gradually dissipated.

In fact, he thought he had forgotten what happened when he was a child.

But when he really faced the darkness and came downstairs and found that he couldn't open the door and couldn't escape, he seemed to have become his helpless and weak self again when he was young, and he collapsed as if the sky was falling.

In fact, now that I calm down and think about it, there are definitely more ways.

He could call his parents and ask them where the spare keys are.

Or just stay in the dark.

Anyway, there won't be a vicious nanny who will open the door and punch and kick him at any time.

Xu Shun lowered his thick eyelashes, and a trace of unknown emotion flashed through his dark eyes.

Mu Qing put her palm on his head and rubbed it gently, "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Shun turned his head to face her, his eyebrows curved, "I didn't think about anything."

Just thinking.

Why was it that the moment he was forced to collapse by the shadow of fear, the moment he used all his strength to get the phone, why was the first thing that came to his mind was Mu Qing.

Mu gently touched his soft hair and couldn't put it down, "Now can you tell me why you lost your temper before?"

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Xu Shun's face, and he looked at her half curiously and half expectantly, "Do you have someone you like?"

Mu Qing paused, "Why do you ask this?"

Mu Qing did not answer directly, and Xu Shun suddenly panicked, "Aren't we best friends? You should be the first to tell me if you have a boyfriend!"

"Who told you I have a boyfriend?"

Xu Shun paused, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, "You don't have one?"

"No." Mu Qing affirmed.

Xu Shun breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he completely understood why he felt so angry and sad when he heard that she had intimate contact with other boys. And when she was considerate and caring towards him, he seemed to be surrounded by sweetness. .

Xu Shun's lips curved up with a half-sweet, half-bitter smile, and he changed the subject, "Didn't you say you were going out with your father? Why are you here so soon?"

"Just now, someone thought I came too late."

Xu Shun pursed his lips and chuckled, then lowered his head in embarrassment.

Mu Qing took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Mu Yihe, "How can I get there when you cry like that?"

Xu Shun was a little surprised, "So you let your father go?"

From Xu Shun's understanding, Mu Qing had a bad relationship with Fu Ge, but he and Mu Yihe were quite harmonious, but that kind of harmony was not warm enough among family members.

It's more like a cold relationship between partners, or a boss and a subordinate.

Mu Qing: "Yeah."

Xu Shun: "Where are you going today?"

Mu Qing turned off the screen of her phone, took a look around the room, and came to the clothes rack cabinet. She took out all the candles in the house and lit them one by one.

"Ask him for something, but I might be afraid of letting her go this time. He won't give me those things easily."

Xu Shun said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."

"No need to be sorry, it's not a rare thing, but getting it through his hands can save a lot of trouble, and..."

Mu Qing supported the table with both hands and looked back at him. Her tone was calm, and every word after it had weight, indicating that she was not speaking casually.

"I like it when you give me trouble."

Mu Qing turned back and continued lighting candles.

The dark room became brighter because of the candlelight.

Her figure was swallowed up by the backlight, leaving only a warm outline.

Xu Shun stared at his back blankly.

It seems that no matter when, as long as it concerns him, he can run away and leave everything else behind without looking back. He will always be his first choice.

Does that mean.

Are you actually like me, you have been liking me as early as unconsciously, just like I like you?

A few days later, Xu Shun was invited to the Night Bar.

In the afternoon, the bar has not opened yet.

When Xu Shun walked in, Yi Liu and Man Zhuyue were already waiting in front of the bar, and a waiter was arranging the tables and chairs.

There is a red silk hanging above the dance floor, which says "Happy Opening".

Xu Shun came to the bar and sat down with confusion on his face, "What's going on?"

Man Zhuyue was a little surprised, "Mu Qing didn't even tell you that this bar is now Mu Qing."

Man Zhuyue smiled and said, "I really can't help but think about it. This must be Mu Qing's birthday gift to you. You are an adult and can drink as much as you want, so she asked her father for a bar."

Xu Shun muttered, "We used to drink a lot."

"What we drank was not wine, it was a drink."

Xu Shun looked at Man Zhuyue in shock, "How did you know?"
