Chapter 106 I Need You, Don't Go
"I didn't do anything very bad."
Su Hengyi didn't shy away from the topic.
"ah?"
"He gets shy when you're around."
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
I haven't even eaten any mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival yet, but I've already been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Shi Nianzhi was quiet for a while before saying, "Brother Yi, I'll go back then. Tell the eldest brother not to be shy anymore. You guys should go all the way with your bad deeds. It's still early, there's plenty of time."
Mu Guangcheng had just stepped out of the kitchen when he heard Shi Nianzhi's words, and he was completely stunned.
"Su Hengyi!"
Isn't it enough that he's bad himself? He has to corrupt his cute and silly little brother too. That's just too much.
He wants to kick this person out!
Mu Guangcheng walked over, grabbed Su Hengyi's arm, and said, "Get out."
Su Hengyi didn't budge. He was still holding onto Mu Guangcheng's arm, and he pulled him forward forcefully into his arms.
"Baby, stop fooling around."
Su Hengyi's cool voice was so doting.
Mu Guangcheng clenched the towel in his hand, his ears turned red, and he subconsciously glanced at Shi Nianzhi.
Shi Nianzhi held the test paper, feeling somewhat at a loss.
"I......"
Shi Nianzhi paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "I understand!"
He seemed to suddenly realize something, covering his entire face with the test paper, his vision going completely blank.
Shi Nianzhi's voice rang out with a laugh, "Boss, First Brother, you guys continue!"
"Continue my foot!"
Mu Guangcheng shoved Su Hengyi hard, and he scrambled off Su Hengyi, knocking his breakfast to the ground while trying to support himself on the table.
Mu Guangcheng walked over and angrily snatched Shi Nianzhi's test paper away. "This is all a misunderstanding."
He paused, then added hesitantly, "Su Hengyi and I, we, there's nothing between us!"
Shi Nianzhi nodded in agreement, "I know."
Even the top dog said that the eldest brother is shy.
"You know nothing! It's not what you think!"
Shi Nianzhi asked seriously, "Huh? What's it like?"
Mu Guangcheng was speechless again, his face turning slightly red. He tossed Shi Nianzhi aside and said, "Anyway, it's not what you think!"
He sat on the bamboo chair opposite Su Hengyi, glaring at him fiercely, "You're not allowed to come to my house anymore, get out!"
Su Heng took out a book and said, "Your foundations are all very weak. Let's brush up on the basic knowledge first."
Shi Nianzhi was surprised, "Ah, I didn't know I could make it this way, I didn't bring the book."
Su Heng looked up at Mu Guangcheng and said, "Go find the book."
Mu Guangcheng gritted his teeth, "Don't ignore what I said, or I'll tell you to get out!"
Su Heng retorted, "Is it because we have nothing going on, or are you feeling guilty?"
Mu Guangcheng was furious and wanted to say something, but when he saw Shi Nianzhi's innocent and clear almond-shaped eyes looking at him, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
Enraged, he turned and went to his room, rummaged through drawers and cabinets to find books, then came back and slammed them on the table.
"When I explain the first point, listen carefully. I don't like to repeat myself."
In fact, Mu Guangcheng is not stupid; his comprehension ability is quite good. He just didn't study hard enough.
He listened carefully and understood it easily.
However, it's a bit troublesome to think about it now.
Su Hengyi was mindful of Shi Nianzhi's comprehension, so he spoke very slowly and in great detail.
As Mu Guangcheng listened to Su Hengyi's lecture, his initial anger gradually subsided.
Putting everything else aside, Su Hengyi's achievements and excellence are indeed beyond his reach.
A morning spent studying diligently passed quickly.
After having mooncakes for lunch, the three of us went out to play.
Shi Nianzhi seemed very happy. He had been in the capital for so long, but he hadn't actually gone out to play yet. Every day was just school and home.
They arrived at the largest amusement park in the capital.
Shi Nianzhi was about to buy tickets with his pocket money when he noticed that Su Hengyi had pulled out three tickets from his pocket.
How did you get it?
Shi Nianzhi glanced at the long line of people buying tickets.
“My relative works here and delivers tickets, so it saves me the trouble.”
Su Heng used his beautiful finger bones to distribute the tickets to them.
Mu Guangcheng glanced at the amusement park and scoffed, "Making it all mysterious, I thought we were going somewhere fun. Coming to a place like this is so boring."
Mu Guangcheng was pampered as a child and had already visited all the places in the capital. He had been to some famous tourist attractions countless times during holidays, sometimes with classmates and friends, and of course, sometimes with family.
Mu Guangcheng was actually reluctant to talk about his family.
He pursed his lips and frowned slightly.
Shi Nianzhi, holding the ticket, was very happy. "I'm not bored at all. I've never been here before. Boss, I want to go play! Let's go play together!"
Mu Guangcheng glanced at Shi Nianzhi, then put his arm around his shoulder, "Alright, alright, the boss will take you to have some fun."
He flicked the ticket with his finger.
Su Hengyi suddenly grabbed Mu Guangcheng's wrist, "This is also my first time in a place like this."
Families that collect recyclables are indeed not very wealthy.
Mu Guangcheng thought that Su Hengyi was not like him. He had a childhood, but judging from Su Hengyi's appearance, he probably didn't even have one.
Mu Guangcheng's protective instincts surged instantly. He put his arm around Su Hengyi's shoulder and patted him, "Come on, let your brother take you two kids to play."
After riding one vertical roller coaster, Shi Nianzhi refused to ride it again.
It terrified the child.
Mu Guangcheng wasn't scared at all. When the vertical roller coaster stopped in mid-air, while everyone else was terrified, he even cheered and whistled.
Su Hengyi remained expressionless throughout.
As for Shi Nianzhi, because he was in the first row, when he went down, it was basically like his body was flying in front and his soul was chasing behind. He almost failed to catch up and turned into a jar of ashes.
His legs were trembling, and he absolutely refused to participate in any of those high-altitude activities.
Su Heng suggested, "Let's go to a haunted house."
Mu Guangcheng tried to resist for a moment, "The zoo next door, it would be best to take Nianzhi there, right Nianzhi?"
Mu Guangcheng was afraid of ghosts.
Su Heng glanced at Shi Nianzhi and murmured, "Hmm?"
Despite posing no threat, Shi Nianzhi felt a chill run down her neck.
Although Shi Nianzhi really wanted to go to the zoo, she still said, "Okay, I like going to the haunted house the most."
If he doesn't go, the top leader might want to twist his head off.
Haunted house.
The three of them walked into a gloomy place with red graffiti on the walls, which looked terrifying.
The surrounding lights flashed red and then green, and after a while, everything suddenly went dark.
When the light suddenly came back on, a white-clad ghost with long hair covering its face appeared.
Shi Nianzhi heard Mu Guangcheng's screams, very rhythmic, each one more shrill than the last.
Mu Guangcheng screamed as he backed away, running back the way he came.
Su Heng glanced at Shi Nianzhi, who shrugged and said, "Brother Yi, I did my best."
Su Hengyi looked at the ghost in front of him again. The ghost tossed aside his long hair and looked bewildered. "Young Master Su, this is just the beginning. Let alone the grand finale, we haven't even had anything slightly scary yet. Isn't your friend a little... too timid?"
"Let's withdraw."
Su Heng went to find Mu Guangcheng.
The ghost tossed its hair and reached out again, "We've been preparing as you instructed for a long time, are you really done playing?"
Su Hengyi didn't answer, and the person pretending to be a ghost didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Shi Nianzhi followed him out, completely bewildered. Why would Su Hengyi go to such lengths to scare Mu Guangcheng, who was supposed to be terrified of ghosts?
Doesn't he know that the eldest brother lives alone?
Mu Guangcheng turned pale with fright, went to the convenience store to buy an ice cream, and shakily tore open the wrapper and ate it.
This is a way to divert attention.
Su Hengyi stood next to him and asked, "Want a hug?"
"don't want."
Mu Guangcheng, with his back to Su Hengyi, took a bite of his ice cream.
Su Hengyi sat on the rest chair. After a while, he reached out and grasped Mu Guangcheng's cold fingertips. "It's all fake. Don't be afraid."
Mu Guangcheng did not immediately shake off Su Hengyi's hand; he squeezed it back before pulling his hand away.
The group ended up going to a wildlife park full of parents with their children. The park closes very early, so they didn't get to visit many places before heading back.
Shi Nianzhi was still somewhat unsatisfied, as he hadn't even seen the pandas yet.
He was thinking of having Lu Jiunian bring him over to play tomorrow, so that his birthday celebration would feel even happier.
Shi Nianzhi was picked up by the driver, while Mu Guangcheng and Su Hengyi took the bus back.
People were packed together.
Su Heng stood behind Mu Guangcheng, holding onto the handrail. He always protected Mu Guangcheng when someone came.
Mu Guangcheng asked somewhat awkwardly, "Where are you getting off?"
"I forgot my phone at your house, go get it. My parents are visiting relatives, and they asked me to call them back when I get home tonight."
"oh."
Mu Guangcheng's mind was filled with the message Su Hengyi had conveyed: his parents weren't home...
When they returned, the sun had already set, and the house in Muguang City wasn't very well lit; it was already quite dark.
He turned on the light, and Su Hengyi picked up his phone from the table and turned to leave.
Mu Guangcheng pursed his lips, and after a long pause, he said arrogantly, "You were too slow explaining the questions because you were worried about Shi Nianzhi. Actually, I can explain them faster. Give me some more tutoring. Your parents aren't home, and you'll be alone when you go back. There are mooncakes and fruit here for you to eat."
"Okay, sure."
Su Heng put his phone down again.
Mu Guangcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Lujiang Bay.
When Shi Nianzhi returned, he saw Lu Jiunian's suit jacket hanging on the coat rack. His eyes lit up, and he asked Zhang Sao, who had come to pick him up:
"He's back?"
Aunt Zhang knew that Shi Nianzhi missed Lu Jiunian, after all, they hadn't seen each other for so long. She took Shi Nianzhi's schoolbag and said with a smile, "Yes."
Shi Nianzhi happily ran forward two steps, then stopped.
Lu Jiunian is back, but given that man's temper, if he comes back and finds Lu Jiunian out playing instead of at home, he'll probably scold him and criticize him.
Shi Nianzhi quickly took out her phone, afraid that she might have accidentally muted it and missed Lu Jiunian's call.
The phone displayed as normal, and no calls came in.
When did he get back?
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "I've been back for a while now, upstairs."
Shi Nianzhi was slightly puzzled, then thought of something. This morning, Aunt Zhang told him that Shi Er had a cold and developed a fever in the middle of the night, so he didn't take Shi Er out, thinking that he should rest and sleep more.
Lu Jiunian didn't contact him. Could it be that he was scolding Shi Er?
Shi Nianzhi didn't care anymore and quickly ran upstairs.
