Mu Xiaowan often stays up late, so she didn't sleep all night, but she was still very energetic, without even a trace of bloodshot in her eyes. She followed Zhou Luancheng to the breakfast stall and sat down. She asked curiously, "Why did you go to the ghost market? Is it related to Ma San's case?"
Zhou Luancheng was not surprised that Mu Xiaowan knew about this. After all, she was in the ghost market and knew many people. He nodded and said, "Yes."
Mu Xiaowan was even more curious: "Who did it? Has the murderer been found?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "Not yet, but there are some clues. Let's eat quickly."
As he said that, he pushed the tofu pudding in front of Mu Xiaowan.
Mu Xiaowan ate only a few bites before asking, "Is Zhang Baojiang's case closed?"
Zhou Luancheng was silent for a moment and shook his head: "It's not a closed case, but there has been no progress yet. How much do you know about what happened back then?"
He had never wanted to ask Mu Xiaowan, thinking that it was cruel to her. But now he realized that she was not as fragile as he had thought. Nor was she like what Old Mu said, that his granddaughter was a pampered, crying little girl who was timid and didn't like to talk.
It was totally inconsistent with the person in front of him, which made him wonder if he had found the wrong person.
Mu Xiaowan bit into the steamed bun. She didn't know whether it was because it was hot or because she was frightened by Zhou Luancheng's words, but she laughed. She swallowed it with great difficulty and shook her head: "I'm only six years old. What do you think I know? There's no way my dad would tell me."
After saying that, he quickly lowered his eyes and picked up another steamed bun to eat.
Feeling very guilty!
Zhou Luancheng knew she was lying, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and said, "Where did you get the mutton-fat jade you sold today?"
Mu Xiaowan was really frightened this time. She almost choked when she took a bite of the bun. She patted her chest and took a deep breath: "How did you know?"
Finally, she thought that Zhou Luancheng must have seen it all, so she pouted and said, "I don't want to say it, okay?"
Zhou Luancheng looked at her childishness and smiled gently: "Okay, but be careful and don't go to the ghost market recently. Some people will do anything for money. It's easy for you, a girl, to suffer losses."
Mu Xiaowan didn’t know whether it was because the buns were too hot or because Zhou Luancheng’s words were too gentle, but she couldn’t help but blushing. She said “oh” and quickly lowered her head to eat the tofu pudding.
After breakfast, Zhou Luancheng wanted to send Mu Xiaowan back to school, but she refused: "You don't have to send me, I want to go to your house to find Sheng Anning and see Duoduo. It's not far from here, and it's daybreak, what danger can there be?"
Zhou Luancheng looked at the time: "Okay, be careful and remember not to run around at night."
Mu Xiaowan nodded: "Got it, I'm leaving now."
When she turned around, she couldn't help laughing. She touched her heart and it seemed to be beating very hard. She wanted to ask Sheng An Ning why.
When we arrived at Zhou's house, they had just gotten up and were preparing to have breakfast, and the four children did not sleep in. They were crawling on the ground, waiting to drink milk and eat egg custard.
Sheng An Ning was quite surprised to see Mu Xiao Wan: "Why did you get up so early? Have you had breakfast?"
Mu Xiaowan nodded: "I ate it. When I passed by Yongji Road, I also bought some beef-stuffed steamed buns and sugar-coated steamed buns from their shop."
As he said this, he handed a large bag of steamed buns wrapped in oil paper to Sheng An Ning.
Then he stared at Duoduo crawling on the ground. His hair was longer than Zhou Zhou and Mo Mo's, but he had the same big eyes and was white and chubby. He was a little surprised: "You just picked up a kid, and he's so good-looking?"
He squatted down and clapped his hands towards Duoduo to show that he wanted to hug him.
Duoduo sat and looked at Mu Xiaowan for a while, then Sheng Anning crawled over with a giggle.
Mu Xiaowan was very surprised: "You didn't let me hold you, but you see Zhou Zhou let me hold you."
As he said that, he clapped his hands at Zhou Zhou, and Zhou Zhou immediately crawled over happily to ask for a hug.
Mu Xiaowan picked up Zhou Zhou and said, "Look, our Zhou Zhou wants me to hold him."
Sheng An Ning put down her things with a smile, came over and picked up Duoduo: "This child may be afraid of being taken away by bad guys again."
Mu Xiaowan waited for Sheng An Ning to feed the child and finish her meal before she took An An and Duo Duo upstairs to talk with her, while Zhou Zhou and Mo Mo were taken out for a walk by Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Hongyun.
Sheng An Ning looked at Mu Xiaowan, who looked like she wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, and shouted at her to go upstairs, then closed the door and let the two children crawl on the big bed.
"What's going on? Are you in trouble? Do you need help?"
Mu Xiaowan was embarrassed: "I don't know how to say it, I think I may like someone."
A few days ago, I swore to Sheng An Ning that I would never fall in love with anyone in this life, nor would I get married and have children, but now I feel like I like someone.
Sheng An Ning saw Mu Xiaowan's annoyed and tangled expression and laughed: "It's a good thing to like someone, who is it?"
Mu Xiaowan just scratched her head: "But I don't know if I like him, because he has helped me a lot and cares about me, but... Hey, since I was a child, there are very few people who are nice to me. There are many men who are nice to me because they have some ulterior motives for me, but he doesn't seem to be like that, he just treats me well."
Sheng Anning thought about Mu Xiaowan's simple interpersonal relationships: "Is it Zhou Luancheng?"
Mu Xiaowan suddenly stared, even a little dumbfounded: "Is it so obvious?"
Sheng An Ning smiled: "Who else do you know besides him? He's the only one who's helped you more recently, but it's normal for you to like him. I think there should be a lot of girls who like his type."
Mu Xiaowan sighed: "So do you think I like this?"
Sheng Anning nodded: "Yes."
Mu Xiaowan still felt a little bad: "You said he helped me so much, if I like him, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?"
Sheng An Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can you say that? How can it be regarded as repaying kindness with enmity? You are also very good."
Mu Xiaowan quickly shook her head: "No, no, it's different."
Sheng An Ning thought that the two of them would not be attracted to each other, but she didn't expect that Mu Xiaowan would fall in love first. But it is understandable if you think about it. Mu Xiaowan lacks care and her mind is very simple. If someone treats her well from the bottom of their heart, an unintentional action may easily make her fall.
"Luancheng is single now, go chase her if you like her."
Mu Xiaowan still shook her head, fell back and lay on the bed, sighing several times: "That's not good."
Sheng An Ning continued to do her ideological work: "I always think that you are a courageous person who dares to love and hate. Since you like someone, you must not let yourself have any regrets, right?"
Mu Xiaowan sat up and looked at Sheng Anning with bright eyes: "Then should I really go?"
