Xi Nuan Nuan hadn’t waken up when Xi He came back to the hospital. It’s good that Xi He packed the food in the thermos. “For you.” Xi He passed a box of fried dumplings and soya milk to Mu Chu Cheng.
He frowned and didn’t take it: “My coffee?”
“Don’t drink coffee in the early morning. It’s not good for your health. Just eat fried dumplings and drink this soya milk.
Mu Chu Cheng looked at it and took it: “Xi He, you are quite caring of me.”
Xi He snorted: “You are suffering from unrequited love.”
It’s probably because of the smell of the breakfast, Xi Nuan Nuan suddenly slowly opened her eyes. Xi He came over: “Nuan Nuan, you are awake? Are you okay? Let Mama call the doctor to check on you?”
Xi Nuan Nuan clutched her hand and looked at Mu Chu Cheng. She swallowed her saliva: “Mama, I’m hungry.”
Xi He found it funny. She knew that Xi Nuan Nuan should be okay now that she’s hungry. She pinched her little nose: “Little foodie, Mama bought you your favorite steamed dumpling. You should brush your teeth and wash your face first before eating.”
Xi He said it and took basin of water out. She took out the toothbrush and towel she brought from home.
Xi He helped her to wash and brush to make sure the wound stayed dry.
Xi He was very certain that Xi Nuan Nuan’s wound will leave mark because it was deep. But because it’s quite close to the forehead, she could hide it with her bang.
Xi Nuan Nuan kept on watching the steamed dumplings.
“Done.”
Xi He put down the towel and took the box of steamed dumpling for her. At first she wanted to feed her but this little girl wanted to eat by herself.
Xi He just let her be: “Be careful, it’s hot.”
“Okay.” For eating it faster, Xi Nuan Nuan just nodded obediently.
Xi He also sat back on the sofa and ate her breakfast. Mu Chu Cheng already ate two dumplings and didn’t eat more. Xi He looked at him and ate the remaining four.
Mu Chu Cheng also didn’t drink his soya milks and just drank a glass of water. He looked at Xi He: “When can I move in?”
Xi He: “…… Mr Mu, you are joking again.”
Mu Chu Cheng smiled: “in your eyes, am I always like to joke?”
Xi He smiled: “Mr Mu, you should have a clear self-knowledge about yourself.”
At first she thought that he will be just joking. But the day Xi Nuan Nuan be discharged from the hospital, Mu Chu Cheng moved to the house. Xi He noticed he brought a black suitcase.
“What is this?”
“My suitcase.”
Xi He controlled her rage: “Excuse me, what Mr Mu means?”
“Isn’t it clear? Starting today, I will live here.”
“Mu-Chu-Cheng!” Xi He finally couldn’t control her rage: “Now hurry take this suitcase out, if not I will report to the police!”
Mu Chu Cheng sat down on the sofa and folded his legs. He acted calmly: “Do you think you can use the same strategy you used on Chen Xian Fei for me?”
Xi He glared at me: “Mu Chu Cheng, don’t you joke around okay? It’s with great difficulty I can kick Chen Xian Fei out, I don’t want strangers in my house?”
“I am stranger for you?”
“Mu Chu Cheng, don’t you think yourself to well…”
Mu Chu Cheng shook his finger: “I don’t…”
Xi He: “…..”
Xi He was physically and mentally exhausted from coping with Mu Chu Cheng, but Xi Nuan Nuan kept on treating him like his fans. She noticed his black suitcase and immediately came over. She used her little arm to push it: “Uncle Mu, let me help you bring your suitcase isnide.”
Xi He was furious: ” Xi Nuan Nuan, stand up.”
Xi Nuan Nuan immediately let the suitcase go and raised her hands up. Because of her fast action, the suitcase fell down. The zipper of the suitcase opened.
Xi He looked at it and stunned. Inside it was empty. There’s nothing inside.
She looked at him confusedly. Mu Chu Cheng just smiled and stroked Xi He’s hair: “I’m just joking, married woman….”
He moved slowly toward her and whispered in her ear: “I prefer to take it slow.”
Xi He poked his chest with her elbow and pushed him away.
“Mr Mu you really have a lot of interesting hobbies. You even bought a suitcase to joke around with me?”
“I think it’s worthy to see your response.”
Xi He ignored him and patted Xi Nuan Nuan’s shoulder: “Go sit down over there. Mama will cook now. Your little auntie will go home today.” It’s weekend.
“Really?”
Xi He nodded and knelt down to pick the suitcase up. She noticed red blood trace on the top of the suitcase.
When she was wondering, Mu Chu Cheng knelt down and watched her.
“Yesterday I just killed someone, are you afraid?”
Xi He put the suitcase down and took his arm. She folded his sleeve and noticed wound in his arm. After a night, it started to heal.
Xi He pointed at the sofa: “Sit down on the sofa.”
“Nuan Nuan, you go to dining room and sit down, Mama will give you a slice of cake.”
“Okay!” Xi Nuan Nuan immediately ran over and waited for her cake.
