Up to You - C207

That night, I was carried in Mu Huainan’s embrace.

“Why do you say that?”

He held me close, as if he wanted to hear more.

“Then I thought, then I’ll go home and settle this with you! And when you hugged me, I forgot about everything. ”

“An’an.” Mu Huainan’s deep voice floated in the night, no matter how one listened, it was very comfortable.

“I won’t pursue what Lin Shupei told you. Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s false, but you have to know, there are many things that the spectators know. She has hated herself for far too long, so the time to investigate the truth is already long past. I can imagine what she told you, and I must have felt like a man from hell in her mouth, drinking blood and eating meat. ”

Drinking blood and eating meat …

Lin Shupei had actually used this adjective to describe Mu Huainan.

“How do you know?”

“Because she was too afraid of me, thinking so highly of me.”

“Uncle Huainan…” I hesitated. “That thing in my family…”

“It’s not the time to check yet.” He said, “Wait a little longer.”

He told me to wait, and I had to wait.

I felt suffocated in his arms, heard his slow breathing, and knew he was asleep. He rolled over and broke free from his embrace.

After all, I’m not that easy to pull out of that.

Mu Huainan moved a little behind me, he moved closer to me along the bed and pulled me into his embrace, as if he had woken up.

“What’s wrong, An An? Is your leg feeling uncomfortable?”

“I’m fine. “It’s a little hot.”

The hand did not come closer, nor did he approach that night.

I didn’t turn around to face him. I didn’t know if he was asleep or if he was looking at me again. It was just that when night came, he started to get a bit worried.

I won’t forget anything that Lin Shupei told me. I didn’t sleep for the entire night, my mind repeating everything she told me.

Especially after Mu Huainan moved into the Jing’an Garden with her, this part of the story seemed to be especially profound for me.

He kept tossing and turning in his head.

… ….

That year, when Mu Huainan asked Lin Shupei if he wanted to go out and play, all the plots started to follow the Mr. Mou’s settings, and they moved forward step by step.

Lin Shupei thought that he wanted to frame her, and instinctively wanted to shake his head, but was unwilling to do so. Mu Huainan was too lazy to guess her unfathomable thoughts, and walked towards the door.

Lin Shupei’s heart itched, seeing that he was about to step out of the door, his heart could not hold back anymore. He quickly took three steps forward and ran behind him, his head raised as he spoke in a righteous manner.

“You’re sick. What if something happens when you go out by yourself? I’ll protect you.”

She found an excuse that was proper and followed Mu Huainan out.

At that time, Mu Huainan was Owner’s favorite foster son. It was so useful for him to speak up against half of Owner, and no one dared to stop the people he wanted to bring out and protect.

She thought he was lazy, as if he couldn’t be bothered about anything, but when she got close to him, she discovered that he had already begun to control everything around him.

Once there was a first time, there would be a second time, and a third time …

At first, they only walked around, but later on, it was unknown where Mu Huainan got two bicycles from. The two of them rode the bicycles into the city from the suburbs, ate a bunch of trash food, and rushed back before nightfall.

Lin Shupei had no money, so all the food was bought by Mu Huainan. He ate just a little bit, and gave the rest to Lin Shupei.

When she talked about this part, her eyes were a little wet. I think that for a child who never knew how to share, when she received Mu Huainan’s snacks, she must have been very shocked.

But in the end, she rubbed her eyes, and the softness in her eyes turned into a sneer.

“Later on, I found out that he only had a small appetite and couldn’t eat anymore, so he casually threw it to me. He never took me seriously.”

Lin Shupei also said that it was because of this that she had opened her heart to Mu Huainan little by little. Mu Huainan lived from autumn to winter in the Jing’an Garden, and winter again passed.

He was still in the yard, lying in his rattan chair, sometimes not saying a word all day.

She didn’t like to see him pale, so she picked the reddest flowers in the yard and put them in his hand.

Once when she was sleeping beside his feet, Mu Huainan had already removed the flower and placed it on her ear when she woke up.

Seeing that she had woken up, he spoke in a light tone.

“If you were a girl, you would definitely be very good-looking.”

These words caused Lin Shupei to feel cold from head to toe.

She had a suspicious personality in the first place, and with Mu Huainan’s eyes, it seemed like he could forget about her at a single glance. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and after several nights of tossing and turning, she became so sensitive to a look from Mu Huainan afterwards.

The more chaotic it was, the easier it was for her to be exposed, until she forgot to lock the door after taking a bath once and was accidentally caught red-handed by Mu Huainan.

Mu Huainan pretended not to know. Seeing that there was someone in the bathroom, he naturally closed the door, but the person in the bathroom didn’t have his big heart.

While Mu Huainan was reading, Lin Shupei walked in and closed the door.

The two of them were separated by a square room. Her face was cold from afar, and her heart had already turned upside down, but she didn’t reveal it.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment before she finally spoke with caution.

“What did you just see?”

He looked at the book and turned a page. Without looking up, he said, “It’s not the first time you’ve been seen by a man.”

The reason he said that was because he already knew that she was a girl! Lin Shupei was so shocked that she couldn’t help but stagger a few steps back.

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you rely on yourself to get second place in the second mission …” Mu Huainan did not avoid or evade, and blankly said this word: “Body.”

At the end, he asked in a benevolent and righteous manner, “What?”

Lin Shupei’s face reddened, she had no choice but to re-evaluate this man who suddenly appeared in the Jing’an Garden. He was born with a heart attack, and was even able to make the Old Owner recognize him as an adopted son.

She didn’t dare to act rashly. She could only suppress the anger in her heart and ask, “Why did you come here?”

Mu Huainan gave her a simple word.

“Recuperate.”

He couldn’t seem to find fault with her either. After all, he had known about her identity from the start, but he never revealed it. Furthermore, ever since he moved here, he had never threatened her with this matter … Lin Shupei couldn’t figure out what exactly he wanted.

Lin Shupei realized that he could not get anything out of her, and thought that since he did not expose her earlier, naturally, he would not do so later on.

How could she guarantee that he would keep his mouth shut and not let him threaten her?

Lin Shupei had lived for so long, the lessons learned from her life could only be summarized in this paper.

Only the dead kept secrets.

When she killed Ol ‘Three, her eyes didn’t even blink, but when she thought about making a move against Mu Huainan, she couldn’t bear it.

Lin Shupei felt a very scary feeling creeping up on her. That feeling made her entire body go numb when she thought about it. It was a little warm and a little wet.

Sticky stuck to her heart, unable to escape, unable to be thrown away.

She hadn’t felt it, so she didn’t know it was called love.

She was used to it. She just wanted to make sure he didn’t die, but at the same time, she wanted to make sure he didn’t dare to reveal her secret.

She was going to pull him into the water.

Thus, a terrifying thought quietly entered his mind.

If Mu Huainan allowed her to become pregnant, it would mean that he found out that she was a woman, but he did not report it to Owner.

In this way, they became grasshoppers tied to a rope, unable to be separated.

Lin Shupei thought that her plan was flawless, but there was something she missed.

She had touched Mu Huainan’s bottom line, he was sick of people lying to him.

He had wanted to use the child to threaten him that his plan had failed, but when he came looking for her with the pills, she had knelt on the ground and cried for mercy, begging him to spare her and the child in her womb.

When she realized that she might really lose the child in her womb, Lin Shupei had never been so terrified in his life before.

She wanted to hug that child. As a mother, her nature surpassed her thoughts of wanting to sit in the position of Owner.

In the end, she had no other choice but to hug Mu Huainan’s legs and beg him. The sound of breaking down was so loud that it almost tore the air in the room apart. Her eyes blurred, and her mouth was filled with what remained of her subconscious.

“I beg you to let me keep this child, I will bring him far away and never appear in front of you again. I just want to keep him, I beg you, the position of Owner is given to you, I will leave, I will never appear in front of you again, okay?”

When she finished speaking, she lost all her strength and fell limply at Mu Huainan’s feet. Mu Huainan bent down and personally raised her chin, and fed the medicine to her without hesitation.

Lin Shupei could not react in time, the pill had already slid down her throat. She tried to pull it back with all her might, she vomited and tried to obstruct it with all her might, but to no avail.

She slowly realized that there was nothing she could do. Her stomach was swelling and she was lying on the ground, feeling like she had fallen into an icy cave.

Mu Huainan did not say anything, opened the door and left.

She hated him, hated him to the core, hated him to the point of wanting to kill him.

The next morning, Lin Shupei took his blade and rushed into Mu Huainan’s room. He was still sleeping with his back facing the door.

Trembling, she stepped closer and closer, stopping her breathing. She knew that with a single step, she would be able to avenge her child.

However, he was unable to put down the hand he had raised.

She watched his back and cried like a broken child.

The crying woke Mu Huainan up, and he turned around to look at her. The sunlight that slipped in through the window onto the blade Lin Shupei was raising, the refraction was too fast for him to look at, he could not help but narrow his eyes.

Naturally, he calmly stated his discomfort.

“The blade in your hand is very dazzling. Put it down.”

Lin Shupei trembled even more when she heard this. She had endured for a long time, but she still could not bear it and put it down.

“I’m not awake yet. You can leave. Don’t come in until noon.”

Two streams of tears fell as she walked to the door and closed it for him, finally realizing that she might never be able to kill him.

What he said just now was like when the owner of the dog tells the dog to help me get the slippers, the dog just goes away.

The owner of the dog said, “Stop barking, it’s very noisy.”

It obediently shut its mouth.

That day, Lin Shupei thought for a long time before she understood why when Mu Huainan came to the Jing’an Garden, he had first asked her if she was willing to go out with him to play.

Actually, he was just missing a guide. Or rather, he was someone who could not finish all the snacks.

To him, she was just an obedient dog. Every time she went out to play, she would only look at her mood while walking the dog.

He didn’t know if it was lucky or unlucky, but Mu Huainan had raised this dog well.
