Chapter 54
Chapter 54
Nan Zimo wanted to travel around the world, and Nan Chu naturally couldn't stop him. Anyway, Funan Village had already been handed over to him, and he had already made preparations.
Cheng Mubei and Shen Jiansheng were still wandering around, and when they arrived at a certain place, they specially sent him a letter to make him greedy. Nan Chu didn't know whether he should be happy that Young Master Cheng still remembered him in the debauchery, or whether he should feel sorry for being caught by Cheng. The young master is abusive in all kinds of ways.
He has been an extremely self-disciplined child since he was a child. He didn't want anything, so he never fought or snatched it.He has no memory of his mother, after all, Bai Zhi passed away when he was very young.But he never cried for his mother, his childhood partner was only Cheng Mubei, and Cheng Mubei didn't have a mother either.
Comparatively speaking, he is much luckier than Cheng Mubei, at least Nan Zimo will take good care of him, while Beiyuan will only throw Cheng Mubei around.When he was young, Cheng Mubei would cry and run to Nan Zimo to ask for his father. After Nan Zimo comforted Cheng Mubei, he would tell Nan Chu: "You have to take good care of Mubei."
However, Young Master Cheng has been known to cause trouble since he was a child, so Nan Chu has a good ability to take care of others since he was a child.
Having lived to this age, Nan Chu suddenly didn't understand what he wanted.He remembered that when he was a child, a hero came to Funan Village to fight against Nan Zimo. He said, "I can't find any other meaning in my life. I just want to beat people who rank higher than me on the list of masters in the world."
That hero was Ye Yijian's master, and in the end he couldn't finish defeating those who were stronger than him on the master list.But all his life, he has been raising his rank.
At that time, Nan Chu asked Nan Zimo why this person had been fighting all his life, and Nan Zimo told him: "This is loneliness. You are still young, so you don't understand."
It was not until so many years later that Nan Chu swallowed the taste of "loneliness".
In a blink of an eye, it was autumn again. Nan Chu finished his chores and stood in front of the window. The sycamore trees in the yard had already started to drop their leaves.
Nan Chu couldn't help but think of Mu Yan, who never came to bother him after Jiang Nan said goodbye that time.He also thought about asking Cheng Mubei what he had said to Mu Yan, but in the end he swallowed it himself.
Isn't this scene what I want to see now?Mu Yan was born in the family of important ministers. Master Mu and Mrs. Mu are both traditional people, so naturally they would not accept that their children are as good as Long Yang.What's more, Mu Yan will definitely follow the official position in the future, how can he be an official with peace of mind without other people's guidance?
Nan Chu is used to thinking about others, and doesn't like to question himself.But when you miss this kind of thing, you can't suppress it when it pops up.It wasn't until this moment that he was willing to admit that he might not be tempted by Mu Yan.
He has never liked anyone in his life, so he has no way to compare whether he really likes it, but he always thinks of Mu Yan, especially when Mu Yan clung to him later.
Regardless of Mu Yan's return to normal life, it is impossible for him to bother him.He also visited Beiyuan a few days ago, and Beiyuan asked him when he would get married.
He was stunned for a moment, his first reaction was to wait for Mu Yan to get married.Then he smiled and replied, "Wait until you have a sweetheart."
Life is too long, how can I get through it with someone I don't like every day?
Beiyuan also reproached Nan Zimo: "Your father dumped this big mess to you, where do you have time to find your sweetheart?"
Naturally, it was impossible for Nan Chu to help his adoptive father scold his own father, so he revealed the truth: "Father foster, you are jealous of my father leaving you to travel around the world."
Beiyuan laughed a few times and sent Nan Chu away.
The autumn rain continued continuously, and the rain hit the fallen leaves on the ground, which made people feel a little irritable for no reason.
Nan Chu asked someone to sweep up the fallen leaves, then turned and entered the house by himself.
He was reading an ancient book when the housekeeper of Funan Village came in and knocked on the door: "Master, there is a man who calls himself Mr. Mu looking for you outside."
Nan Chu was stunned for a while before saying, "Bring it in." The butler turned around, and Nan Chu put down the book and stood up: "Forget it, I'll go with you."
Having not seen Mu Yan for nearly a year, Nan Chu didn't recognize him all of a sudden.Mu Yan was so skinny and skinny, it made people feel distressed just looking at it, Nan Chu's heart seemed to be blocked with water-soaked cotton, and he couldn't breathe.
Mu Yan didn't hold an umbrella, his whole body was wet, and he looked up at Nan Chu: "You never came to me once."
Nan Chu wanted to open his mouth, but found that what he said was not very good, so he just handed Mu Yan the extra umbrella that the housekeeper carried.
Mu Yan was separated from him by the rain curtain, with water stains on his face. I don't know if there were tears, but his voice was a little choked up: "If I'm here to send invitations, would you like to go?"
Nan Chu's hands paused, the rain had already soaked his cuffs, and the wind was blowing, making it slightly cool.He lowered his eyes and said: "The business in Zhuangzhong is busy, and you may not be able to get away, so I would like to congratulate Mr. Mu."
Mu Yan was really crying now, almost out of breath.Nan Chu had no choice but to open his umbrella and walk over to protect him from the rain. Mu Yan threw himself into Nan Chu's arms, "If it takes a hundred steps for us to fall in love, and I walk and crawl to you, will you take a step closer to me? Ah Chu, I love you, you just like me a little, okay?"
Nan Chu raised his other hand awkwardly in the air, not knowing where to put it.The wet clothes on Mu Yan's body had already soaked his, and the body temperatures of the two were intertwined.Nan Chu finally followed his heart and put his hand on Mu Yan's back.Mu Yan was really skinny, and it was still painful to the touch.
What has he experienced this year?Didn't he go back to live his life as a young master?Can Mrs. Mu bear to see him torment like this?
Nan Chu had too many doubts, but they were stuck in his body together with his heartache.Mu Yan came to send him an invitation, what position does he have to ask?
Thinking of this, Nan Chu raised his hand on Mu Yan's back, telling him to push it away a little: "Since you..."
Mu Yan's face was flushed abnormally, and his eyes were bloodshot. Nan Chu remembered his high temperature just now, and frowned: "Did you have a fever?"
Mu Yan had been dizzy for a long time, but after looking at Nan Chu, he became sober all of a sudden, and at this moment his spirit was exhausted.As soon as his legs gave way, he fell towards Nan Chu.Nan Chu quickly supported him, only to hear the man say weakly: "I'm here to ask you to be my groom, I love you, Ah Chu, come with me."
Nan Chu was dumbfounded for a moment, a lot of words rolled down his throat, before Mu Yan fainted.
He asked a doctor to look at it, and then ordered someone to find out what happened this year.After explaining everything, Nan Chu sat next to Mu Yan's bed.
Mu Yan's fever has not subsided yet, his face is flushed and looks less pale, but he is still very thin, so thin that he is out of shape.Nan Chu reached out to touch Mu Yan's face, his hands were shaking.
Why are you so stupid, why don't you take good care of yourself at all.If you love me, don't you need to love yourself?
Mu Yan didn't know what kind of dream Yan was in, and he was talking nonsense all night.
He said, "Ah Chu...I really love you..."
He said, "Why don't you come to see me..."
He said: "I almost can't love you anymore...but I can't let go, I still love you..."
……
Nan Chu suddenly remembered what Mu Yan said, "If it takes a hundred steps for us to fall in love, and I walk and crawl in front of you, will you take a step closer to me? Ah Chu, I love you, you just like me a little bit." OK?"
Nan Chu twitched the sight that just touched Mu Yan's cheek, thinking: Actually, I like you more than that...
Mu Yan didn't wake up until the next morning, and when he opened his eyes, he met Nan Chu's eyes, and stood there in a daze.
Nan Chu reached out and touched his forehead, and said lightly: "The fever is gone, but you still have to drink medicine." Nan Chu turned around and took a bowl of porridge: "But it's not good to drink medicine on an empty stomach, you should drink some first. Use white porridge as a cushion."
Mu Yan kept staring at Nan Chu, not wanting to take his eyes off for a moment.Nan Chu helplessly raised a hand to cover his eyes: "Is it that pretty?"
Mu Yan let out a choked laugh, raised his head and kissed Nan Chu's palm.He sniffed Nan Chu's hands with some hot breath because of the fever, and then pressed his forehead against it: "I didn't expect that I could really survive until this day."
Nan Chu blew cold white porridge and fed it to Mu Yan, showing a smile: "I'm leaving for this step, please write me the invitation."
Mu Yan's tears rolled down into the porridge, he raised his sleeve to wipe it, but he couldn't wipe it off.Nan Chu said helplessly that he hugged her tightly: "Why do you really want to be a big girl who loves to cry?"
"I don't." Mu Yan held back tears and swallowed the porridge, "Since you have taken this step, even if I am not a girl, you have to like me."
"I like it." Nan Chu kissed Mu Yan's hair, "I like them all."
Mu Yan was still groggy. After drinking the medicine, his excitement was still no match for his drowsiness. He fell asleep in Nan Chu's arms.
Looking at Mu Yan's face, Nan Chu thought, maybe this is what he likes.
Mu Yan's body temperature came through his clothes, and Nan Chu's heart was filled with an inexplicable emotion.
It was still raining outside the house, and the fallen leaves fell one after another. Even if the fallen leaves were just cleaned, they piled up in a short while.The pouring rain hits the fallen leaves, the world is in turmoil, but the house is very peaceful.Mu Yan said something raving again, and he called out "A Chu" softly.Nan Chu bent down with a smile, and whispered in his ear, "I'm here, I'll always be here, okay?"
Mu Yan naturally didn't answer, but occasionally called him in his sleep.
After a while, someone knocked lightly on the door: "Master, the news you want to check has arrived."
Nan Chu responded, and carefully pulled out his arm, Mu Yan's pillow made him a little numb.The effect of the medicine caused Mu Yan to sleep deeply, and Nan Chu tucked him in the quilt before going out lightly.
The butler was waiting for him outside: "I have already asked someone to wait for you in the side hall."
Nan Chu thanked him, and asked the housekeeper to find someone to wait at the door, in case Mu Yan couldn't find someone for something.He hesitated suddenly, a little unwilling to reveal what happened in the past year, he was afraid that Mu Yan would hide too much from him, and he couldn't afford it.
But in the end he went anyway.
