If she had not entered his room, if she had not seen the photo that was full of memories and was so well cherished, Yang Shushu might not have felt anything, at most she would have thought that he missed his parents.
But she saw all of this. Just from those almost perfectly preserved photos and the happy scenes that came to life frame by frame from the stillness, she knew how much he missed and valued his parents.
"And then?"
"Later... after I'd fed it for a while, I decided to tell Grandpa about it and take it home. I already found a veterinary clinic and even bought a lot of pet supplies. I was just waiting for it to completely let down its guard and come home with me."
Mu Shicang's voice sounded like he was reminiscing about the past. His hands were no longer moving. He had touched that thing, but he really didn't know what it was for, so he had to keep silent for the time being.
"Then why did that guy want to kill the dog? Did he have a grudge against you?"
"Well... I think so... Or maybe he has a grudge with the Mu family?" Mu Shicang's voice sounded uncertain, but more like he didn't care.
"At the time, both the Ma and Mu families were bidding for a project. The Ma family's then-generation leader had mismanaged the business and was on the verge of collapse. This project was their chance to turn things around, and my grandfather gave me full responsibility. The third young master of the Ma family and I went to the same school. He wanted to pick a fight with me but didn't dare to do it directly. One time, after seeing me feeding a dog, he secretly tortured the stray dog to death. Hehe... He wouldn't even buy it a piece of ham and poison it to death. In a rage, I beat him up so badly that he ended up in the hospital. Not long after, his family lost the bid, and I resorted to some trickery to take advantage of his misfortune."
Yang Shushu was listening at the side and felt that his tone was like saying to crush an ant. She did not judge whether it was right or wrong. Regardless of whether she was biased in her stance, at least it was not Mu Shicang who provoked them first.
After a while, Mu Shicang didn't hear any good sounds, and laughed silently in the darkness. Did he scare the little thing? Did he think it was despicable to kick someone when they were down? Then, would his next words make her think he was even worse?
"I thought I was going to teach them a lesson, but I didn't expect the Ma family to be so vulnerable. The old man committed suicide, the eldest son absconded with the money, and the third son, believing I was the cause of their family's bankruptcy, came to the school to fight me, but he failed. On the way home, he got into a car accident, hit his head, and went crazy. That's basically what happened."
After Mu Shicang finished speaking, he let out a breath. He didn't really like telling others about his own affairs, whether in the past or in the present, it was all the same.
But he wanted to see how Yang Shushu would react after hearing this, or perhaps because it was her, he was willing to do this.
Yang Shushu sat in the dark, her hands moved. Now she was still sitting on one of Mu Shicang's legs, her hand supporting the grain bag in front of her, her back leaning against the bag, trying her best to keep herself from being in his arms.
"Then the person who kidnapped us is the second brother?" To Mu Shicang's surprise, Yang Shushu didn't bother about who was wrong in this grudge, and directly focused on the kidnapper.
Mu Shicang was stunned for just a moment, then he felt relieved, and even a little proud: My wife is different!
If it were another woman, she would either say that he was a saint and shouldn't have been so cruel, or she would act like she felt sorry for him and comfort him that he must have been very sad when he lost his puppy.
And his wife doesn't care at all who is right or wrong, and - whether he is sad or not!
Thinking about it, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
"Why aren't you talking? Do you have any other guesses?"
Mu Shicang sighed, and reached out his hand according to his intuition, just touching her face: "Shushu, you can be more feminine at this time."
In the darkness, there was silence for a while. Mu Shicang was wondering if she agreed with what he said when he heard her speak: "Are you saying that I am like this...'Oh, I'm so scared' 'Husband, I'm scared to death, you have to protect the good people'"
"..."Mu Shicang suddenly felt like he was about to vomit after eating his last meal.
"Tsk! Do you think this is a TV show? Someone will come to rescue you after you whimper a few times? Instead of pretending, you should think about how to get out, and how to catch this kidnapper and send him to jail after you get out."
She thought about it, and suddenly asked in a gossipy tone: "Are all your ex-girlfriends like this? Uh... then you're quite pitiful."
"I've never had a girlfriend." In the darkness, Mu Shicang suddenly said seriously.
Yang Shushu was quite shocked: "No girlfriend? Master Xiao Mu, are you kidding me?"
"No... I swore to myself that I wouldn't have a girlfriend until I fulfilled my promise to my parents."
"So we're just going to get married right away? After all, we are friends in need. Tell me the truth, do you have any purpose in marrying me?" Yang Shushu actually said it quite casually, and it didn't sound like she was really curious.
Mu Shicang was just pondering how to respond when he heard her give herself the answer: "I'm telling you, it's definitely not possible to use me to give birth to an heir."
Mu Shicang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry in the darkness: "What a mess!"
"Isn't that right? In ancient times, the succession of the throne to the emperor was sometimes determined by which son had more offspring. If you couldn't give birth to a son, the chances were greatly reduced. Isn't it that your grandfather wanted you to give birth to an heir as soon as possible so that you could inherit the family business?"
"Be good! Watch less of those messy TV dramas in the future." Mu Shicang's voice was full of doting, which made Yang Shushu feel uncomfortable. Just as she was about to speak, she heard him suddenly "shush": "Don't talk, listen."
Yang Shushu immediately shut her mouth, and the entire dark space became quiet. It was so quiet that the whole world seemed dead, but soon they heard the chaotic sounds of cars and people coming from far away.
Yang Shushu was a little excited and struggled to stand up: "Someone, someone is coming, we can ask for help."
Mu Shicang was relatively more cautious: "Listen first."
Yang Shushu was pulled into his arms again, and she could smell his scent through her nose. It was a mellow tea fragrance, much better than the musty smell here. She was stunned for a moment.
At this time, the sound was a little closer, but only a little, and there seemed to be a lot of people over there, shouting anxiously, almost making a mess. They were probably afraid that no one would hear them even if they shouted at the top of their lungs.
Sure enough, within a minute, the sound became farther away, until it became quiet again. The wind blew up some sand and stones, which made a sound in the darkness. It sounded like a group of demons and monsters were about to break in.
"The group of people just now..." Mu Shicang said uncertainly, "It seems that they said the cow had a difficult birth and wanted to send her to the veterinary hospital in town?"
Yang Shushu wanted to cover her face. She was so focused on smelling the food in his arms that she didn't hear anything being shouted outside.
"I think I know where we are." Mu Shicang's voice sounded confidently in the darkness.
