After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

"Is that okay, Brother Mu Bai?" Su Ruanruan said coquettishly.

Mu Bai nodded slightly and said "hmm".

Ruanruan felt his response and hooked him tighter, their breaths intertwined, and Mu Bai could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

"Brother Mu Bai, why is your face red again?" Su Runrun smiled slyly.

Mu Bai froze and dared not move, allowing Ruanruan to sit on his lap.

Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her smooth forehead was covered with a layer of sweat due to nervousness.

"me……"

Su Ruanruan laughed softly, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's eat quickly!"

She got up and went to the kitchen to make medicine for Mu Bai.

When Mu Bai saw her go to the kitchen, he quickly wiped the sweat from his face.

After the meal, Mu Bai cleaned up the dishes and took the initiative to do the dishwashing, but was rejected by Su Ruanruan.

"You are still sick, let me take care of these. Go back to your room and rest. When the medicine is ready, we will drink it obediently."

Su Ruanruan stood on tiptoe and cupped Mu Bai's cheek, "Take good care of yourself, there are important things waiting for us to do."

Mu Bai was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Su Ruanruan whispered in his ear, "Brother Mu Bai, I want to eat you..."

"Eat... me?"

Mu Bai frowned, a little confused, but suddenly his eyes widened and he finally understood what she meant by eat.

Su Ruanruan saw that his ears were visibly turning red.

Mu Bai's thick eyelashes trembled, and he whispered, "Ruanruan, I... I'm going to go back to read first. I'll trouble you with the kitchen."

Su Ruanruan wanted to make a few more jokes, but he ran away quickly.

Is she that scary?

When Su Ruanruan entered the main room carrying the medicine bowl, she saw Mu Bai reading a book.

She put down the medicine bowl and sat next to him.

She handed him the medicine bowl and whispered softly, "It's already warm, drink it."

Mu Bai picked up the medicine bowl, which was overflowing with thick black medicine juice. He was silent for a few breaths, then raised his chin high and drank the medicine juice in one gulp.

Su Ruanruan quickly stuffed the hidden peach into his mouth.

"Try it, it's very sweet."

Mu Bai took a bite and found it was indeed sweet and juicy.

Only the sweet aroma remains in the mouth.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of his mother. Since he was a child, he has been afraid of taking medicine.

Every time he was sick, he would cry and make a fuss, and his mother would always considerately prepare some candied fruits, dried fruits or cut fruits for him to calm his uneasy mood.

Even though he was taller than his mother in the end, she still coaxed him like this.

The mother always smiled and stroked his head gently, "No matter how much our Bai'er grows up, to mother, you are still a child."

At that time, I always felt embarrassed when I heard my mother making fun of me.

But now, listening to my mother's nagging is a luxury.

Mu Bai was chewing the peach in his mouth, but his eyes were red.

Su Ruanruan looked at the peach in his hand.

No way, what she just ate was very sweet.

But when he saw Mu Bai's red eyes again, he looked past the open door and towards the storage room at the other end.

Su Ruanruan understood clearly that it was definitely not because the fruit was sour.

As if noticing Su Ruanruan's scrutiny, Mu Bai withdrew his gaze and said in a hoarse voice, "I lost my composure. I just miss my mother..."

Mother……

Su Ruanruan's thoughts drifted away. This was a word that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Her childhood was not happy. She had very few happy moments and most of them were filled with endless darkness.

But the original owner was different. Although her life was poor and hard, there was still laughter and joy in the house when her parents were alive. Even though the family was bullied by Wang Po and others, the original owner's parents treated her very well.

Perhaps her own mother was the only one in the world who treated her like that, never giving her a shred of maternal love.

Judging from Mu Bai's appearance, his mother should treat him well.

"What about your father?"

Pain flashed across Mu Bai's eyes, "Ruanruan, I don't want to mention him."

Su Ruanruan pointed to the utility room and said, "Was that your mother's room before?"

Mu Bai looked in the direction of her finger, and between his furrowed brows there was a barely perceptible hint of worry.

The answer she wanted was right in front of her, so Su Ruanruan didn't ask any more questions.

She didn't know the situation at Mu Bai's home, but she knew that if she continued to ask, she would uncover the most painful memories in Mu Bai's heart.

A child without a mother is a weed.

She knows this very well.

Of course, she had never received this luxurious maternal love. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been regarded as a weed by others.

Su Ruanruan didn't know how to comfort him, so she leaned on his shoulder and interlocked her fingers with his.

The white cat playing in the yard ran too fast and tripped over the threshold. Its round body fell to the ground, whimpering a few times.

With a look of grievance on his face, he climbed onto Mu Bai's shoes and scratched them hard with his little claws.

Seek comfort and cuddling.

Su Ruanruan looked at him and smiled, watching the little Bairuan jumping up and down with a doting look.

In the evening, they naturally ate the hen that Su Ruanruan used to vent her anger. The chicken soup was stewed for an hour and it was fragrant and delicious.

Mu Bai praised Su Ruanruan so much that he almost made her dizzy.

As night fell, Su Ruanruan quietly enjoyed the scented bath, secretly looking forward to close contact with Mu Bai.

However, unexpectedly, that night, Mu Bai suddenly developed a high fever and kept calling his mother's name.

Su Ruanruan was awakened by the mournful murmurs.

Only then did he realize that the person next to him was already burning hot.

She quickly fetched a basin of water and placed the wet handkerchief on his forehead.

He then lifted the quilt and took off his underwear.

When I saw his fair skin covered with old scars of varying depths, I was shocked.

These marks look like whip wounds.

Somewhere in Su Ruanruan's body suddenly twitched in pain.

What exactly did Mu Bai experience when he was a child?

She wiped the palms of his hands, soles of his feet and armpits repeatedly with a wet towel.

Finally, he went to the kitchen with an oil lamp. There were a few packets of herbal medicine in the kitchen, but they were not suitable for treating the fever.

what can we do about it.

Outside, the sound of night watchmen could be heard.

It’s the second watch.

Su Ruanruan shuddered. The temperature difference between day and night was too great. She hurried back to the house and put on her coat.

He touched Mu Bai's forehead, lit the lantern, and left the yard.

The streets were already pitch black at this time.

The cold wind blew, and the lantern in my hand flickered.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid, but now that I had stepped out of the yard, there was no reason to turn back.

Su Ruanruan clenched her teeth, looked around, and tightly grasped the lantern in her hand.

Three tall figures emerged from the alley in the distance.

In the dark night, Huo Yan's eagle-like eyes were fixed on that figure.

What a coincidence, why is she here so late?

Suddenly remembering what Wei Zheng said, Huo Yan curled the corners of his lips.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Seeing Huo Yan stop, Jin Yu asked.

Huo Yan pointed at the figure in front and whispered a few words to Jin Yu and Niu Mang.

Both of them were puzzled, but they saw gossip in each other's eyes.
