Mu Run looked at Huanhuan and Tuantuan, who had already climbed the tea tree and were picking tea leaves and brewing fruit, and said, "I understand what you mean. You brought me to see the tea tree and made me pick tea leaves. You want me to stay, don't you?"
Fu Yunchen did not deny his purpose, "You like tea. Back when you were escaping in Xiangcheng, you were caught by me because you were greedy for tea. You can't resist this stuff."
Mu Run had no memory of those things and found it hard to believe he was talking about her. She simply said, "I am not anyone's substitute."
“You are you, and no one can be your substitute,” Fu Yunchen said solemnly.
Mu Run looked up at Huan Huan, who had picked tea-soaked fruit and given it to her younger brother first, and Tuan Tuan, who had taken a tea-soaked fruit and immediately started eating it. "I can keep them to make tea, but let's forget about the others."
"That's enough." Fu Yunchen smiled.
Mu Run looked into his eyes. When he smiled, the corners of his eyes slanted upwards, which was extremely pleasing to the eye, but also carried a faint trace of melancholy.
Perhaps he was still not satisfied with her answer.
But she didn't want to go against her conscience and become someone's substitute.
A wrong identity often leads to a bad ending, especially since she's not alone now; she has two children and needs to consider them.
Even if he seems nice to them now, how will he treat them when he has his own children? He'll probably want to kick them away.
Reality is always crueler than words. So-called promises are nothing more than empty words that will get you struck by lightning.
Tuantuan, who was eating tea, suddenly burst into tears!
The cries were heart-wrenching and extremely painful! Her body swayed, and finally she fell headfirst to the ground.
Mu Run's mind went blank for a moment, but his body had already rushed over, opening his arms to catch Tuan Tuan.
But another pair of longer and stronger hands caught Tuantuan in mid-air.
"What's wrong, Tuantuan?" Fu Yunchen's heart had never been so tense before!
When Tuantuan was in his arms, she immediately stopped crying, only sobbing and groaning, "Tuantuan is in pain."
"I'm here with my uncle, so I'm not afraid." Fu Yunchen's voice remained calm, but only he knew how panicked he was inside.
Seeing that Fu Yunchen had caught Tuantuan and that Tuantuan had stopped crying, Mu Run looked up at Huanhuan in the tree.
Huanhuan was so frightened that she clung to the tree trunk, asking helplessly, "Mom, what happened to my brother?"
"Maybe... there were ants or other small insects on the tree, and you got bitten." Mu Run used to climb trees to pick tea leaves and was often bitten by insects or stung by bees, which did hurt quite a bit.
"You come down too." She leaped up, picked her up, and then looked at Tuantuan in Fu Yunchen's arms with concern.
Fu Yunchen took off Tuantuan's clothes and checked her body.
But on his snow-white, tender little chest, a worm-shaped purple-blue mark appeared—it was a Gu seal!
Fu Yunchen glanced at Mu Run.
When Mu Run saw the bruise, she frowned immediately. "When did this happen?" She thought it was a bruise from a bump.
Fu Yunchen said, "It's a Gu poison."
"Gu?" Mu Run quickly examined it closely. She had heard of this thing before; rumors circulated that it was extremely evil. "How could someone be infected by Gu?"
"It was the Gu poison in your body that transferred to him." Fu Yunchen, holding Tuantuan, broke off a branch from the tree. The sharp branch cut his wrist, and a stream of bright red blood oozed from the broken skin.
Fu Yunchen held his bleeding wrist to Tuantuan's lips and coaxed her gently, "Tuantuan, drink it quickly, and it won't hurt anymore."
