Chapter 364 Pampering the Bamboo Horse (11)
Time passes like water.
In spring, summer, autumn and winter, Mu Qing accompanied Xu Shun year after year.
The road from the Mu family to the Xu family, and the road from the Xu family to the Mu family, have become the most familiar roads to each other.
When people grow up, they can no longer be as carefree as they were when they were children. The more they know and think, the more they worry.
The villa that Man Zhuyue received as a New Year's gift when she was seven years old became the place where the four of them gathered most often when they grew up.
After all, when they grew up, they had many secrets, and it was no longer convenient for them to gather in the Xu family.
Like drinking.
After trying drinking, Yi Liu and Man Zhuyue often wanted to get some more wine to try... Although they felt that the wine tasted nothing special, because it tasted very similar to wine, they had never had it. Suspect.
Because I believe it is wine, drinking it is a bit exciting regardless of whether it is wine or not.
On the contrary, Xu Shun was no longer interested in wine.
Yi Liu sent the message to the three of them, and the three were invited to Man Zhuyue's villa.
When Xu Shun arrived, a rather thin young man was squatting on the balcony with several empty bottles of wine next to him.
Man Zhuyue was sitting in the rocking chair on the balcony, holding a lollipop in her mouth... She was the only one who had not changed at all from her childhood. Because she was so well protected, her family took away all the things that would make her unhappy. Things are blocked out.
Xu Shun's family also protected him carefully, but he was too smart and understood many things early.
Yi Liu heard the footsteps, looked back, and cursed angrily: "What kind of wine? I won't be drunk after a thousand cups, right?"
Xu Shun glanced at the wine bottle on the ground and felt a little guilty.
I couldn't help but admire the person who made this drink. There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air, and it actually felt like wine, but there was no alcohol in it.
"Why don't you turn on the light?" Xu Shun was about to turn on the light, but Man Zhuyue stopped him, "He won't let me."
Xu Shun stopped his hand in mid-air, put it down again, and walked into the balcony. The cold moonlight fell on his white skin, which was so white that it seemed to glow.
His face has lost its baby fat, became a little less ignorant and immature, and now has a more youthful vigor.
Xu Shun knew that Yi Liu was worried, so he sat quietly on the sofa and did not take the initiative to ask.
After more than ten minutes, Yi Liu frowned and said, "Why hasn't Mu Qing come yet? She should have arrived long ago."
Xu Shun's delicate brows furrowed early, "I'm afraid her mother stopped her."
Man Zhuyue sat up straight, "How about I go to her house to take care of her."
Yi Liu: "Farewell, her mother is going crazy, but it doesn't matter whether you are the daughter of a rich family or not."
As they were talking, they heard footsteps on the stairs.
Xu Shun quickly got off the sofa and walked over to meet him in a hurry, with a worried look on his face, "Are you okay?"
Mu Qing went to hold his hand, but a flash of discomfort flashed across Xu Shun's face and he quickly avoided it.
He turned around and walked back to the balcony, "Hurry up, we've been waiting for you for a while."
Mu Qing's hand stopped in mid-air. The lights were not turned on in the living room and it was dark. After a few seconds, she slowly put down her hand and walked to the balcony calmly and leisurely.
The moment the moonlight fell on her face, Xu Shun saw a bright red scratch on her fair cheek.
Xu Shun's face sank, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be condensed with ice and snow, "Did your mother beat you?"
Mu Qing's white fingertips casually touched the wound on her face, "No, I hurt it accidentally."
Ever since Mu Qing stopped listening to Fu Ge for everything, Fu Ge could tolerate it at first, but over time he exploded. If the only thing in the world that she couldn't bear was the daughter she thought she had complete control over. Listen to her again.
Fu Ge soon couldn't stand any of Mu Qing's indifference, rebellion, and rebuttal, but she couldn't do anything about Mu Qing, so she could only go crazy, yell and throw things.
Today she didn't allow Mu Qing to go out, so she made a fuss again, overturned the wine cabinet, and Mu Qing's face was splashed by broken glass.
Yi Liu looked at Mu Qing with complex eyes, similar to sympathy and pity for his kind.
Xu Shun and Man Zhuyue lived a carefree life, but they...
If he knew there were so many worries about growing up, he would rather not grow up.
Xu Shun touched Yi Liu with his toe, "What about you, what happened?"
Yi Liu lowered his head, his whole face immersed in darkness, "I...I'm fine, it's just that I'm too stressed."
Mu Qing and Xu Shun both heard that he was hesitant to speak. Some things, even to them, were inconvenient for him to say more.
Man Zhuyue didn't hear anything and murmured softly, "It's true that your parents asked you to learn this and then asked you to learn this. You don't even have time to play with me. I would have been unwilling to do it."
Yi Liu looked up at Man Zhuyue and smiled bitterly.
Yi Liu was trained as an heir and had to learn a lot. He had responsibilities on his shoulders, which were like a mountain pressing down on his weak back. However, he was not as smart as Xu Shun, so he struggled to hold on every day.
Yi Liu didn't want to talk any more, so he picked up the wine bottle and said, "Drink with me."
Xu Shun opened his mouth but stopped talking.
He wanted to say that this was not wine, and he would not get drunk no matter how much he drank.
But he couldn't give him real wine to drink.
Yi Liu is not smart to begin with. Alcohol damages the brain. What if he becomes even more stupid?
Xu Shun took a drink from the wine bottle and couldn't help but wonder why no one had discovered this secret yet.
He had regretted it for a long time. When he first knew that this was not real wine, he should have told them. Why didn't he tell them at that time... maybe he was afraid that they would laugh at him and not even be able to tell the truth from the false.
As a result, the more I hide it now, the less I know what to say.
I just hope they don't discover this secret in their lifetime.
Man Zhuyue handed Mu Qing a bottle of wine, "You don't want to drink it?"
Mu Qing smiled and glanced at Xu Shun, "I won't drink. I want to stay awake and send Xu Shun home."
'You'll never get drunk from this. ’ Xu Shun almost said this sentence, but swallowed it back.
None of them stopped drinking when they were young and discovered that they couldn't get drunk no matter what.
Mu Qing turned her head and looked at Xu Shun with a smile in her eyes, "Are you drunk?"
Xu Shun met her eyes and somehow remembered the rumors in school that he and Mu Qing were dating...A blush suddenly appeared on his cheeks, "Well...a little bit..."
"Then I'll take you back."
Mu Qing informed Yi Liu and Man Zhuyue, picked up Xu Shun's arm and took him away.
The stairs were dark.
Mu Qing's voice reached her ears, "Be careful."
The heat on Xu Shun's face did not dissipate, and she asked again: "You haven't talked to me for several days. Did I do something wrong?"
Xu Shun was even more at a loss as he leaned against him softly, pretending to be very drunk.
An indistinct chuckle came from the darkness, making him almost suspect that he had heard it wrong, and he felt even more uneasy.
Why is she smiling so nicely?
