Chapter 73 Shall we get married?
When Han Feng and his friends came back, it was already noon. There were several large bags of food, enough for them to eat until the end of the holiday.
Qu Tao helped to sort the food and put it in the refrigerator. Han Feng carried two large bags of fast food and put them on the coffee table.
"Taozi, we are having fried chicken at noon today. Don't put all the beer in the refrigerator."
On a rainy day, there is nothing better than eating fried chicken and drinking beer, and bragging at the same time.
Qu Tao dragged a box of beer and put it next to the coffee table. Han Feng thought of something and blinked at him mysteriously.
"Guess what we encountered when we came back?"
"What?"
Qu Tao sat down next to the beer box, and Han Feng turned to ask other questions.
"You guys stayed here, didn't you hear anything?"
Qu Tao shook his head in confusion, and Han Feng simply stopped keeping him in suspense.
"Ambulance, Mu Jingyan."
Han Feng threw out two key words, and Qu Tao's eyes were full of confusion, "Mu Jingyan was taken away by the ambulance?"
Han Feng nodded and shook his head: "No, it was the boy who was with him."
Qu Tao was stunned and looked in the direction of Xi Mozhou. Xi Mozhou was standing not far away and was looking at him at this time.
When they looked at each other, they both thought of the note at noon, requesting to add a friend. Retracting his gaze,
Qu Tao looked at Han Feng anxiously: "That boy, what happened to him?"
The boy was carried out of the villa on a stretcher at the time. Because it was a must-go road, the ambulance and the crowd of onlookers forced them to stop their car.
Han Feng and Qiu Mingxuan got out of the car out of curiosity and watched for a while.
They clearly heard Mu Jingyan answer the doctor's question, "The boy accidentally slipped while bathing in the hot spring."
But in the eyes of Han Feng and Qiu Mingxuan, the matter was not that simple.
The wrists and neck that were exposed were all bruised and purple, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was caused by human factors.
The important thing is that the massage stones used at the bottom of the hot spring can effectively prevent slipping.
After Han Feng finished sighing, Qiu Mingxuan sat down from the sofa and interrupted.
"Were you talking about the ambulance at the intersection?" Seeing Han Feng nodded, Qiu Mingxuan was immediately filled with righteous indignation, "The kid looks only eighteen or nineteen. It's OK for an old cow surnamed Mu to eat tender grass, but he was so cruel. He is really not a human being."
Qu Tao regretted not accepting the boy's friend request.
Xi Mozhou saw what he was thinking, walked to his side, and patted his shoulder soothingly.
"The boy knew your mobile phone number, which is also a question in itself. Who knows if the guy surnamed Mu deliberately set you up."
Xi Mozhou knew that what he said was cold-blooded. Compared with the safety of the boy, he was more worried about Qu Tao's involvement.
Besides, the violence in couples and marriages has always started from the first test, and then to the cruelty afterwards. There is never a one-time thing.
The fact that the boy was carried out on a stretcher was not the first time. I just hope that this time, he will know what to do.
The rain outside showed no sign of stopping, and the drinking party at noon lasted until the afternoon.
After the party, the four of them returned to the room to rest, and Qu Tao and Xi Mozhou held an umbrella together and went out for a walk.
The top of the mountain was shrouded in mist, and they walked towards the snack street.
Perhaps they were all trapped in the rain for a day and wanted to go out for some fresh air, so couples and families who were also taking a walk could be seen from time to time on the road.
When passing the intersection that Han Feng mentioned, Qu Tao glanced at the villa next to it. It
was pitch black without a trace of light, and when Qu Tao was thinking that they would not come back, a car stopped a few steps away from them with the sound of tires rubbing against the ground.
The driver got out of the car first, and stood at the back door with an umbrella. Mu Jingyan got out of the car, and first looked in the direction of Qu Tao, and then stretched out his hand into the cabin.
The boy got out of the car holding his wrist, and Mu Jingyan immediately picked him up horizontally.
When walking past them, Qu Tao saw the boy's pale face and the faint scars on the uncovered parts
out of the corner of his eye. Xi Mozhou seemed to have seen it too, and held Qu Tao tightly in his arms and walked forward.
"Why did you bring him back from the hospital when he was injured like that?"
"Don't worry about them. If someone adds you from another number in the future, don't add anyone unless you know them."
"I know." Qu Tao raised his head from his arms and smiled slyly, "I'm not stupid."
"Not smart either."
There was a small square in front of them, with a few scattered fitness equipment and a pavilion.
Xi Mozhou took the umbrella from his hand: "Would you like to sit inside for a while?"
The rain was very thin. Qu Tao walked into the pavilion but didn't sit down. Instead, he stretched out his hand to catch the rain like a child.
Xi Mozhou put down the umbrella, hugged him from behind, and rested his chin on his shoulder armor.
"Taotao?"
"Hmm?"
The raindrops fell on his palms, feeling cool. Qu Tao poured out the accumulated water and continued to watch the raindrops fall on his palms.
Xi Mozhou stared at his palms, his dark eyes full of tenderness.
"When my arm is healed, let's go see your parents together."
"Okay." Qu Tao paused and tilted his head slightly: "Go see your aunt too."
"Hmm, are your hands cold?"
Xi Mozhou shook his hand, asked him to face him, and put it in his arms.
Their eyes met, and Xi Mozhou blurted out.
"Taotao, shall we get married?"
"Oh..." Qu Tao raised his eyes and widened them, "Are you...proposing to me?"
"Well, can I?"
Xi Mozhou originally wanted to plan a grand proposal, but when they looked at each other just now, he was bewitched and blurted out the question.
Qu Tao stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then bent his lips and pulled his hand out from his armpit.
"No."
"Why?"
Xi Mozhou frowned and stared at him straight. Qu Tao didn't look at him, but kicked the ground and complained in a low voice.
"Isn't the proposal from Mr. Xi too simple?"
"What do you want? I'll agree to it!"
How can what you want to say be the same as what you have carefully prepared? Qu Tao rolled his eyes at him in reproach.
"Sincerity, I want to see Mr. Xi's sincerity." Qu Tao said, thinking of something, and raised the corner of his lips, "When the big golden retriever only recognizes the name Xi Xiaozhou, I will agree to marry you."
"...", his Tao Tao is different from others, with such a weird request, Xi Mozhou was stunned for a few seconds, and agreed, "Okay, I will train it immediately after I go back."
The sky darkened, and the drizzle that had been falling all day finally stopped.
On the way back to the hotel villa, they held hands, and the dim street lights made the two figures look slender.
Before reaching the intersection where they met Mu Jingyan, Qu Tao saw the figures of Mu Jingyan and the boy from a distance.
It was late autumn and it had just rained. The young man was wearing thin clothes and leaning sickly in Mu Jingyan's arms.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, he raised his eyes slightly, and then drooped them listlessly.
"Mu Jingyan is sick, right? The child is obviously still sick. Why not just let him recuperate in the hospital? Why did he bring him out to get some fresh air?"
After walking a distance, Qu Tao was indignant. Xi Mozhou pulled him into his arms and kissed his hair gently.
"They are a pair of lunatics, don't bother with them."
If you want to leave, there is always a way to leave. It depends on whether the person who wants to leave knows how to make choices.
No matter what happens, you must know how to love yourself, because being alive is the most important thing!
As for the rest... they are all illusory, which can go from existence to non-existence, or from non-existence to existence.
