Xueba, don't look at me, look at the question!

"Mu Nanyu! I advise you not to overreach! If it weren't for the fact that you are my own son, I wouldn't be bothered to care about your life and your uncle's life!"

"I promised you that as long as your grades improve, I can ignore your affairs in the provincial swimming team, but there is no need to talk about going abroad!"

"Why, do you think that you can challenge your old man when you go to college and your wings are hardened?! Look at your foul-mouthed bastard, you just followed your uncle to learn like this!"

"If it weren't for me, you would be finished sooner or later, and you would be a coolie for others!"

What is "a foul-mouthed jerk look"? !

What is "following your uncle to learn like this"? !

Zhao Liang scolded him that it was okay, his uncle single-handedly brought him up from a swaddling baby, and did his best, so he didn't have a family in his 40s.

Why did Zhao Liang slander his uncle? !

The veins in Mu Nanyu's hand clutching the phone bulged, and as soon as a swear word came to his throat, Bai Jingtan suddenly got up and held down his wrist.

"Give me the phone."

Mu Nanyu hesitated for a moment, but still passed the phone over, Bai Jingtan didn't even look at it, and put it to his ear.

"Uncle, I'm Xiaoyu's classmate. I have no right to intervene in the family affairs between you and Xiaoyu. But Xiaoyu is definitely not the kind of misbehaving person you said."

"What's more, when Xiaoyu had no one to rely on, it was not your father who was full of good things for him, but his uncle who raised him. What kind of person is his uncle, what kind of person is Xiaoyu? You are the least qualified to judge."

Maybe it was stepped on a sore spot, or maybe it was because "outsiders" talked about family affairs and couldn't keep up.

Zhao Liang scolded: "It's none of your business for me to discipline my son? Why, you were called by Mu Nanyu for help? You are a friend of mine, you are misleading your son, I warn you, don't talk nonsense around my son!"

Mu Nanyu was a little slowed down by Zhao Liang's heavy breathing. He raised his eyes to signal Bai Jingtan, took the phone back, and felt the body temperature of the people around him close to him.

"I think it's you who is talking nonsense, right? I told you about the past and you didn't admit it, but you and I know what the truth is."

"You want to send me abroad, that's fine. You can register me for TOEFL IELTS or study abroad exams. I go to the exam room and I don't write a single word. What can you do with me?"

"Instead of pinning your hopes on the nonsense that I can cut off contact with my uncle after I go abroad, you might as well think about what you owe me all these years."

"I don't need you to give me living expenses now, I can support myself on my own in the future, don't threaten me with your stinky money!"

After Mu Nanyu finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Zhao Liang to respond.

He subconsciously looked sideways at Bai Jingtan, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he touched the encouraging and consoling look in the other's long and deep phoenix eyes. He threw the phone on the table, and stretched his limbs and lay down on the bed.

"Bai Jingtan, I really don't want to go abroad."

Mu Nanyu's voice was a little confused and soft, but soon became firm.

"No matter how good a foreign university is, I don't want to leave."

I don't want to be away from my uncle for so long, I'm afraid Zhao Liang will bully him while I'm not around.

I don't want to be away from you for so long either.

I am afraid that I will come back after going abroad for a few years...

The two of us became estranged.

"Yeah." Bai Jingtan walked slowly to the edge of the bed and sat down, pressing his palm on Mu Nanyu's shoulder, "It doesn't matter if you don't go, studying abroad may not be better than staying in China."

"Anyway, our Xiaoyu family is kind, and the decisions made by kind people will definitely not be bad."

From childhood to adulthood, Mu Nanyu got into fights, skipped classes, was punished, and punished to write a self-criticism. There are many people who say he is rebellious and disobedient. Bai Jingtan is really the first to praise him so much for his kindness.

"You really think so?"

"Of course. I've always thought so."

Mu Nanyu replays the conversation between Bai Jingtan and Zhao Liang just now in his mind.

After thinking about it, he suddenly sneered.

"My dad actually said that you are a 'fellow friend'... If he knew that you were the number one student in the college entrance examination, he would be so surprised from ear to ear."

"But don't tell him about this kind of thing. My father is a man who holds grudges and resorts to unscrupulous means. You made me lose face. If he knows who you are, he will definitely try to get revenge on you."

Bai Jingtan hooked his lips: "I'm a Fa-study, so I'm still afraid of his revenge?"

That’s right, most of those who majored in law at Nanyang University have become well-known lawyers or judges.

And Baijingtan is so good, so it will be very good in the future.

"Besides, I'm still your elder brother. If I don't help you speak, who will I help?"

Tired of running around all day, Mu Nanyu lay down, his eyelids began to fight.

By the time Bai Jingtan finished writing the paper and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, Mu Nanyu was already lying on the bed sprawled and fell asleep.

The air outside the window is a bit stuffy, and it looks like there will be a heavy rain.

Bai Jingtan closed the doors and windows tightly, drew the curtains, and gently moved Mu Nanyu's head to the pillow, and covered him with a quilt.

The person who was sleeping soundly had a small red mark on the cheek of the bed sheet, which made his skin whiter, and his lips were also moderately thick and rosy, slightly parted, revealing a little white tip of the teeth.

Bai Jingtan's eyes carved his brows inch by inch, his fingertips felt slightly cold, but his breath was hot, and his breathing was thick and heavy, and he deliberately suppressed it.

"Hmm... Baijingtan." The sleeping person suddenly murmured.

Bai Jingtan's movements froze, watching Mu Nanyu turn over, curling up his feet like a kitten.

"Bai Jingtan... don't play with my hair, it's itchy."

Bai Jingtan couldn't help chuckling silently.

Withdrawing the hand that tidied up the broken hair on his forehead, he stood up and walked towards his own bed.

"Good night, Xiaoyu."

Less than 5 minutes after the lights went out, it was pouring rain outside the window.

After the flashes of lightning, there was a roar of thunder, accompanied by thick raindrops pouring down densely, as if a big hole had leaked in the sky.

The sound of the rain was heavy and chaotic, and the damp and cool water vapor penetrated into the room through the cracks in the windows. The electric light cut open the night, and then when the curtains fluttered, it illuminated the whole room brightly.

Mu Nanyu woke up in the middle of the night.

The temperature of the air conditioner was a little too low in the rainy night, he wanted to use the remote control to turn it up a bit, but——

He blinked his sleepy eyes, and confirmed that there was indeed a black human silhouette by the window.

In a place like a hotel room, which is prone to horror stories, it's a bit scary.

He was so frightened that he dozed off and woke up most of the time, tentatively calling: "Bai Jingtan?"

No one responded, but the other bed next to her was indeed empty, and the quilt was not rolled out.

There was another flash of lightning, this time Mu Nanyu could see clearly, the one standing by the window was Bai Jingtan's face.

He got up and walked over, yawning.

"Bai Jingtan, you don't sleep at night, what are you doing standing here?"
