C372 Eat Steak
That was true. Mu Qingqing was not the kind of person who did not respect etiquette. Naturally, they had to greet each other after leaving their home.
"Then let's go." Mu Qingqing still wasn't familiar with the Mo family's road, plus her memory wasn't good, she naturally needed Mo Xiaohe to lead the way.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to put away the tea set." Mo Xiaohe slowly used the electric stove to boil water. Mu Qingqing admired the way he did such meticulous work with his thick fingers.
Therefore, Mu Qingqing sat back down and waited for him to collect the tea set.
Mo Xiaohe scalded the teacups that the two of them had never drunk before with boiling water. This meticulous and meticulous work was completely inconsistent with his swift and decisive manner.
Mu Qingqingtuo watched quietly as he collected the tea set.
Uncle Jiu, who was standing outside the glass room, was surprised to see Mo Xiaohe collecting the tea set. Previously, this kind of work was done by the maids of the Mo family, but today, it was Mo Xiaohe's turn?
"Can we go now?" Mu Qingqing saw that Zhang Xuan had already arranged all the tea sets. It was about time for them to leave as well, right?
"Let's go." Mo Xiaohe stood up and led her to the second floor.
Mo Xiaoyun and Mu Yichen were sitting on the sofa watching TV. Ren Xinru got someone to find a lot of toys to put in front of Mo Xiaoyun. The building blocks and model cars were all placed in front of him.
"Auntie, I still have homework to finish. I have to go home to finish my homework. I'll bother you next time. " Mu Qingqing said with great difficulty. She thought that this reason was quite reasonable, so Ren Xinru should agree.
"How can that be? Come to our house and eat dinner, what are you talking about?" Ren Xinru stood up, thinking that she was feeling a bit uncomfortable, so she hurried home.
"Maybe next time." Mu Qingqing refused.
"Next time? "Qingqing, do you have any objections to auntie? Last time, you said you were going to eat at Auntie's place, why are you coming back this time?" Ren Xinru was a little sad. She quite liked these children.
Mu Qingqing shook her head. "That's not it, Auntie. I still have more homework to do."
"It's already the summer vacation. If you really want to write, I'll send someone to your house to bring you the homework." Mo Liming hadn't seen Mu Qingqing in a long time, so he often asked about her recent progress. Ren Xinru glanced at Mo Xiaohe. This brat was rather reserved and didn't even say a word.
Mu Qingqing was still a bit conflicted. She still had to attend her classmates' birthday party today. Ren Xinru had forcefully insisted on staying, so she had no choice but to give her face.
"Then, auntie, we'll have to go back after dinner. We've been out for too long, so my brother and the others will also have to go back to finish their homework." It was her last step back. As for Zhan Yufei, she could only give up on the idea of giving him a present today and head there later.
Mo Xiaohe had a hint of a smile on his face. He could let her go if he agreed, but Ren Xinru definitely wouldn't.
"Alright then. You're currently having your summer break, so come over to auntie's house when you're free." Ren Xinru reluctantly agreed. She looked at her son in displeasure. Why didn't she leave a message for him?
"Xiaohe." Ren Xinru looked at him reproachfully.
"Mom, I know my limits." Mo Xiaohe knew what she wanted to say, but he wouldn't bully Mu Qingqing.
"Go and change your clothes." "If your dad sees it later, he'll have to keep his eyes open." He clearly knew that Mo Liming didn't like him wearing a military uniform at home, but he still wore it so blatantly.
Mo Xiaohe pursed his lips, turned around and walked to his cloakroom. He would never tell anyone that he had come back to see Mu Qingqing in such a hurry that he didn't have time to change his clothes.
"Qing Qing, you, Uncle Mo, have not seen you for a long time. I'm very concerned about your health. When he comes back, you can have a chat with him." Ren Xinru brushed the hair by Mu Qingqing's ear, feeling heartache as she looked at the bandages wrapped around her. This is the first time you've been injured, and even Auntie can't remember how many times you've been injured. "
However, in just one year, Mu Qingqing had been hospitalized more and more frequently.
Mu Qingqing's eyes were clear. She knew, of course, that she was often beaten by Su Cuiyun into the hospital, but why did Ren Xinru know about this?
"Auntie, you know every time I get injured?" What kind of relationship did she have with the Mo family?
"Our families are friends, so it's normal for us to be close to each other."
"Mom, I'll take her to see the windmill on the roof." Mo Xiaohe noticed Mu Qingqing's doubt. She was using honorifics with Ren Xinru here, and Ren Xinru was also upset, so he might as well avoid her.
"Be careful." Ren Xinru didn't stop him. Mu Qingqing felt uncomfortable all over. This wasn't what she wanted to see.
Mu Qingqing then followed Mo Xiaohe to the roof of the castle-like building.
The rooftop was made of beige patterned stones. Mo Xiaohe changed into a fresh set of sportswear. He looked full of energy and stood up straight. No matter how he put it on, he looked like a clothes rack.
His deep gaze landed on the side of Mu Qingqing's face. She was still thinking about the relationship between the Mu Family and the Mo family. This little girl was truly idiotic.
Mu Qingqing stood stiffly in front of the stone railing of the rooftop. Her expression was one of unease and fear.
"Live in the present, not afraid of the future, not thinking about the past." Mo Xiaohe put his hands in his pockets and kept his gaze on her.
"Mu Qingqing suddenly laughed softly when she heard that." Try to remember. People around you know your past, but you know nothing about your own past. "
"Was it really that important?" Mo Xiaohe asked her seriously.
Of course … Not that important. Mu Qingqing thought to herself.
"Many people want to forget the past, but there is no way to forget it. Memory loss may not be a bad thing. " Mo Xiaohe couldn't help but advise her when he saw that she was still conflicted over what had happened in the past.
What he said made sense. In this world, there was pain and beautiful things that happened every day. However, there were some things that not everyone wanted to remember. Many people wanted to forget, but couldn't. Mu Qingqing raised her head and looked at Mo Xiaohe with bright eyes.
Looking at his solemn expression and his sculptured facial features, she panicked and avoided his gaze.
However, Mo Xiaohe had turned her body around and met her gaze. "Mu Qingqing, escaping is useless. You're making yourself take a step back because you're feeling wronged."
He heard Mo Xiaoyun say that Su Cuiyun's loud words could make Mu Qingqing cringe in the corner in fear. He couldn't always stay by Mu Qingqing's side and protect her.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Mu Qingqing saw his hand on her shoulder and quickly pulled away.
"Don't be afraid, those people will have their retribution sooner or later if they dare to commit any heinous crimes." Mo Xiaohe said in a low voice.
"The more cowardly you are, the more you will be ruthlessly suppressed by someone's spine. You must understand this principle."
His lecture got even more intense. Mu Qingqing nodded.
"I'm not asking you to follow my orders. You have to have your own opinions. You have to learn to protect yourself when I'm not around. "I have to learn how to be strong." Mo Xiaohe looked at her and nodded obediently, but he was willing for her to not reply.
"You, what do you want from me?" Mu Qingqing was truly speechless. If she didn't nod, he would have to reason with her again. However, if she nodded, he said that she would follow his orders. Wasn't this making things difficult for her?
"Whatever you think in your heart, you have to say it out loud. You don't like my tone and tone of voice. You have to learn to speak your mind, not swallow your grievances. "
"None of your business." Mu Qingqing was a little angry. Why did this boy care about everything?
Who was he?
"You can still be a bit more stubborn." Mo Xiaohe wasn't angry at all. She had listened to him and learned to refute him.
"Why are you telling me this?" Even if she was weak, it had nothing to do with Mo Xiaohe.
"Protect you." Mo Xiaohe simply stared at her with a warm smile at the corner of his mouth. When he wasn't around, she had to learn to protect herself.
"Oh." Mu Qingqing responded faintly, but remembered that Mo Xiaohe had clearly promised her that she would only stay at the Mo family for a short while before leaving. However, at this moment …
"You don't keep your word." Mu Qingqing looked at him with some fear. This person had a big smile on his face, as if he had a belly full of evil schemes.
"I promised you that I would let you go back, but it was my mother's wish to keep you, and the one who finally made the decision was you as well." He could not admit that he did not mean what he said.
Mu Qingqing thought about it, this person didn't seem to be speaking nonsense. It was Ren Xinru who had asked her to stay. She stood at the side without saying a word, as if she really couldn't blame him.
"Forget it." I can't buy a present anyways, so I'll have to delay my senior's promise to go over tonight. " Mu Qingqing hung her head in dejection as she held onto Stone, feeling depressed in her heart.2
"I'll drive you there." Mo Xiaohe looked at the time and saw that there was no problem with returning to the team before the lights went out in the evening.
"No, no. I'll go over myself. " It wasn't that she didn't trust Mo Xiaohe, but she felt that this was her senior's birthday banquet.
"If I don't send you over, my mom and dad will probably let you stay at my house tonight. What do you think?" Mo Xiaohe paused for a moment and let her think.
"Fine." Mu Qingqing bit her lips. This guy really knew how to pinch weak points.
After a warm and harmonious dinner, Ren Xinru made the kitchen prepare a Western meal. Mo Xiaoyun had been wanting steak for a long time and hadn't been to the Mo family for a while.
Mo Xiaohe picked up his knife and fork skillfully, only to discover that Mu Qingqing was slightly nervous. He neither arrogantly nor slowly watched Mu Qingqing cut the beef into pieces, while he himself slowly cut the beef into small pieces. After Mu Qingqing cut half the plate, he looked at Mo Liming and Ren Xinru, who were both looking at Mo Xiaoyun, and exchanged the plates with his own.
Mu Qingqing looked at him in distress. What was he trying to do?
It wasn't until Mo Xiaohe elegantly cut up the piece of beef that Mu Qingqing vaguely understood his intention. He was teaching her how to eat steak.
He was really meticulous.
