39 Chapter 39

◎Shen Mu, what was your past like? ◎

In the early morning, Shen Mu was awakened by the sound of rain outside.

He did not close the windows tightly last night, and now the sound of rain reached his ears clearly.

Today is an unprecedented heavy rainstorm.

The raindrops fell down densely, forming a water curtain covering the sky and the ground. The wind was raging, and the trees outside the window were blown to and fro.

Shen Mu watched the rain quietly for a while, then got up to close the window, washed up and went downstairs.

After coming downstairs, looking out from the gate of the villa, the feeling of strong wind and rain became more obvious.

It was not suitable to go out today. It was raining heavily outside, and it was filled with mist and visibility was extremely low.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in.

Shen Mu was so cold that he covered his mouth and coughed several times: "Cough cough cough..."

He quickly tightened his coat and came to the warm living room.

When Shen Mu came to the living room, he found that even Fu Chen, who always left early to go to the group, made an exception and worked from home today.

At this moment, Fu Chen was sitting in the sofa area, reading a few documents. There was also a notebook in front of him with some red and green stock price charts on it.

Because he didn't have to go out, Fu Chen didn't wear a suit, but a light gray home clothes, and a pair of slippers on his feet.

He leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, put the document on his thighs and read it, reading ten lines at a glance. It can be seen that he is very efficient.

Perhaps noticing Shen Mu's gaze, Fu Chen raised his head.

The two looked at each other.

Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Good morning."

Fu Chen also spoke, his voice cold: "Good morning."

Shen Mu asked casually; "Don't you have to go to the group today?"

Fu Chen glanced out the French window, and then said: "Let's see the weather conditions later."

"Oh."

Shen Mu nodded, and then there was nothing to say.

After all, he didn't plan to have too much communication with Fu Chen.

They were just an agreement husband and wife, and they only had to fulfill their respective duties, and there was no need to involve the rest.

Shen Mu didn't say anything else, and then came to the sofa area, chose a seat a little far away from Fu Chen and sat down, and then took out a book from the cabinet under the coffee table to read.

Whenever he has a lot of free time, he would choose to read for a while. This may be a habit he has kept from staying in the hospital all his life.

He stayed in the hospital ward all his life, with nothing to do every day, and most of the time he could only use books to pass the time.

There are so many books in the living room, all thanks to the butler.

The butler is a man with very meticulous observation. When he found that Shen Mu always read books, he ordered people to buy various books and put them under the cabinet of the coffee table in the living room, so that Shen Mu could read them whenever he wanted.

Shen Mu really suspected more than once that their butler was a robot, otherwise how could someone do things so accurately?

Anyway, he was particularly satisfied with the butler's various services.

Shen Mu was reading a foreign literary work today, which talked about love and freedom.

Which is more important, love or freedom? Or are the two not contradictory?

He flipped through the pages, gradually becoming absorbed in the reading.

What Shen Mu didn't know was that Fu Chen was staring at him not far away.

Fu Chen's mood was cold and introverted, and his eyes were always dark. When he stared at a person, it was like a large beast staring at its prey, which made people's backs numb.

Fu Chen looked at Shen Mu who was reading.

Because it was raining heavily and the sky was dark, a warm yellow light was on in the living room even during the day.

At this time, Shen Mu was sitting under the warm yellow light, reading a book quietly.

He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking quite comfortable. He lowered his eyes and slowly flipped through the book in his hand.

Shen Mu has a very special quality. No matter where he is, he will give people a sense of stability and tranquility, which makes people's hearts calm down unconsciously.

The living room was very quiet, with only the sound of Shen Mu turning the pages of the book from time to time.

The sound was very rhythmic, as if it was knocking on the heart.

Shen Mu was engrossed in reading a book, and suddenly Fu Chen opposite him called him: "Shen Mu."

Shen Mu came back to his senses from his thoughts and instinctively looked up at Fu Chen's position: "Ah?"

When he raised his head, he found that Fu Chen was staring at him with deep eyes.

It was as if he had been staring at him for a long time.

Shen Mu was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

Fu Chen looked at him and said word by word: "What was your past like?"

If a person is willing to take the initiative to understand another person's past, it doesn't matter how deep the feelings for the other person are, but at least it shows that there is a certain desire to explore.

Shen Mu was even more confused: "My past?"

He was afraid that Fu Chen had made a mistake, so he asked again.

Who knew that Fu Chen gave him a positive answer: "Yeah."

Shen Mu was really a little surprised. Why did Fu Chen know about his past? How would this help their agreement?

He thought for a while and said: "My past is unremarkable, there is nothing to say."

Shen Mu thought that after he said this, Fu Chen would not ask anymore. After all, how could Fu Chen waste time to understand him?

Who knew Fu Chen followed up and asked: "Don't you want to say it?"

Shen Mu was stunned.

Although the two were a little far away, Fu Chen's innate sense of oppression was still clearly conveyed.

Fu Chen was like a natural hunter who could force the prey into a corner, leaving no escape.

However, Shen Mu has experienced life and death, and although he felt the strong sense of oppression, he quickly calmed down and said, "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that there is really nothing to say."

He didn't think that with his relationship with Fu Chen, it was necessary to have a heart-to-heart talk about their past.

Shouldn't they just be businesslike and just have some simple exchanges on a daily basis?

After Shen Mu finished speaking, the living room was quiet for a moment.

Fu Chen stared at Shen Mu.

Shen Mu looked back without dodging, and at the same time, there was a bit of confusion in his eyes.

After the two looked at each other for a long time, Fu Chen took a rare step back on his own initiative: "It's okay, let's talk about it later."

Shen Mu was a little surprised.

He didn't expect Fu Chen to back down on his own initiative. According to Fu Chen's status, if he forced himself to speak out, he would have no choice.

But Fu Chen didn't do that, but chose to respect him.

Although Shen Mu's heart was in turmoil for a moment, he didn't take it too seriously.

He was too lazy to think about these trivial things. It would be better to think about what to do after the rain stops.

In the following time, Shen Mu continued to read, while Fu Chen continued to work.

The living room returned to silence, as if the little episode just now had never happened.

At a certain moment, the appearance of a little kid broke the silence.

Fu Nonuo was wearing a cute Pikachu jumpsuit today, all yellow. On this rainy day, he looked like a bright little sun that suddenly burst in.

He ran into the living room and rushed straight to Shen Mu, his little baby voice bright and cheerful: "Little Dad!"

Shen Mu laughed when he heard the voice. He put down his book and opened his arms to catch the little kid who rushed over.

The little kid acted coquettishly in his arms: "Little Dad, do my clothes look good today?"

Shen Mu smiled and poked his chubby little face: "Of course it looks good, our Nonuo is the best-looking kid in the world."

Fu Nonuo was very happy.

He was still running around in the living room, showing off his Pikachu costume. As he ran, Pikachu's two ears swayed, which was very cute.

Shen Mu looked at Fu Nonuo with a smile, but he saw Fu Nonuo running to Fu Chen several times, so he reminded him: "Be careful, your father is working, don't drop his documents."

But his reminder was obviously too late. When Fu Nonuo happily ran past the coffee table, the fat Pikachu costume swept the documents.

Several neatly arranged documents fell to the ground with a click.

Suddenly, there was silence in the living room.

Fu Nonuo looked at the messy documents on the ground in a daze, and then looked up at his father.

At this moment, Fu Chen looked at him without any expression.

Fu Nonuo realized that he had done something wrong in an instant, and pursed his lips, feeling a little uneasy.

Woohoo, a father with a cold face is so scary!

Fu Nonuo subconsciously looked at Shen Mu at this moment, that was the source of his sense of security.

When he looked at Shen Mu, his little eyes clearly said -

"Little dad, save me quickly, woohoo!!"

Shen Mu wanted to laugh a little, but he still did not disappoint his little cub's expectations, and waved at him: "Hurry, come to little dad!"

Fu Nonuo was as if he had been pardoned, and immediately ran to Shen Mu, and then hid in his arms.

Woohoo, little dad is still the best! !

Shen Mu patted Fu Nonuo on the back to soothe his emotions, while asking Fu Chen over there: "Are the documents messed up? Is there any impact?"

Under Shen Mu's gaze, Fu Chen's expression was not so cold anymore, and he replied: "Nothing."

After that, he leaned over to pick up the documents and reorganized them.

Fu Nonuo was relieved when he heard Fu Chen say that everything was fine.

He is a very smart child and he immediately figured out the connection here. It seems that Xiaoba's words are still effective. If something happens in the future, he will ask Xiaoba to protect him!

After the crisis, Fu Nonuo became bright and cheerful again.

The only thing that was a little unsatisfactory was that it was raining outside. He wanted to go out and play today, so he ran back and forth in front of the gate for several times, but he couldn't go out.

A servant saw that their young master was so anxious, so he went forward to comfort him, but it didn't work at all.

Shen Mu read a book while paying attention to the little boy's situation.

He saw that Fu Nuonuo was almost crazy about going out to play, so he found something to divert his attention.

He picked up a strawberry from the fruit plate on the coffee table and said to Fu Nonuo, "Nonuo, do you see this strawberry?"

Fu Nonuo came to Shen Mu and stared at the strawberry: "I see it, what's the matter?"

Shen Mu said: "Pick out all the seeds on this strawberry. When you finish, it will stop raining outside. This is a task given to you by your father. Can you complete it?"

Fu Nonuo's attention was diverted in an instant, and he nodded his head vigorously: "It can be done!"

"Okay, my father believes that you are a good child who does what he says, so you start picking out the strawberry seeds now."

As he said that, Shen Mu put the strawberry in Fu Nonuo's little hand.

Fu Nonuo instantly perked up with the strawberry in his hand. He knelt on the carpet, holding the strawberry in his hand, carefully picking out the strawberry seeds, looking quite serious.

But what he didn't know was that by the time he finished picking out the strawberry seeds, it would surely be a long time before he finished.

He was actually tricked by his little dad.

Shen Mu successfully comforted the little boy and smiled slightly, hiding his achievements and fame.

Very good, the living room was quiet again, and he could continue reading.

Fu Chen saw all of Shen Mu's actions, and there was a rare warmth in his eyes.

In the following time, the family of three in the living room each did their own things, which seemed particularly warm and harmonious.

Fu Nonuo kept picking strawberry seeds. She was very interested at first, but gradually became a little tired.

By the end, his hands were numb from picking, but he hadn’t finished picking!!!

Fu Nonuo was confused.

Fu Nonuo felt wronged.

How could this strawberry have so many seeds? !!! Is this reasonable? !!!

But Xiaoba said that this was a task for him, and he had agreed, so how could he go back on his word?

Fu Nonuo pursed his lips and continued to fight.

After picking for a while, he still had no time to finish picking.

Fu Nonuo couldn't help but look at Shen Mu, and said aggrievedly: "Little Dad, why can't I pick all the strawberry seeds?"

It was already noon, Shen Mu was tired of reading, and it was time to take a break, so he said to Fu Nonuo: "Then don't pick, Little Dad will take you to play."

"Great!!"

Hearing that he didn't have to complete the task anymore, Fu Nonuo was visibly happy.

Then he ate the strawberry in his hand in one bite, just like he was venting his anger.

Humph, I'm going to eat you, who let you have so many strawberry seeds! !

Shen Mu looked at Fu Nonuo with bulging cheeks, and was touched by his cuteness. He couldn't help but pinch the Pikachu ears on his head.

Soon, Shen Mu took Fu Nonuo out of the living room.

Just at this time, the rainstorm outside stopped and the sky cleared up.

Summer rain always comes quickly and goes quickly.

The whole manor was washed by the rain and looked brand new.

There were also some puddles on the lawn in front of the villa.

Fu Nonuo was refreshed when he saw the puddles. He looked at Shen Mu expectantly, "Dad, can I go step on the water?"

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Of course, I can change my clothes after they get wet."

After all, it is a child's nature to love playing, and he will not suppress the child's nature.

Fu Nonuo was so happy when he heard this.

He ran to the lawn and stepped on the water happily, like a cute Pikachu playing in the water.

For a while, the whole lawn was filled with the cheerful laughter of the little ones, which was very healing.

Shen Mu lazily leaned against the pillar, enjoying the scene with a smile on his face.

A carefree childhood is great!
