"Besides embarrassment, what else can I bring you?" Mu Yichen walked up to her, holding her hands, gently caressing the plain ring on her finger, his brow lowered, asking softly. Qin Mu also lowered her brow, looking at the pair of rings on their hands, her voice involuntarily choked. That weak voice made the man who heard it sigh slightly, then, pressing his forehead against hers, he pulled her hands behind his back and embraced her. For a long time, there was no sound, just leaning against each other, as if that was already an expression, an accusation. The cold treatment of their relationship during this period, the grievances and apologies in each other’s hearts, seemed to be conveyed through this hug. This afternoon seemed much calmer than imagined, and warmer too. During dinner, the old man looked at the two of them as if they had reconciled, and asked, "When do you plan to return to the country?" "I’m going back tomorrow! Qin Mu will stay to accompany you for these two months of observation." This time Qin Mu didn’t speak, it was Mu Yichen who did. "This matter of mine is minor, I can just let Sister Zhang accompany me. Let Mumu go back with you, it’s rare for the young couple to reconcile, can you bear to be separated?" The old man asked Mu Yichen, then looked at Qin Mu. Qin Mu blushed, "Who said I couldn’t bear to be apart from him?" Not refuting the reconciliation, Mu Yichen was secretly pleased. "Better to return together!" The old man said again, really reluctant to see them separated. "Qin Mu is more familiar with your situation, and besides, I’m more at ease with her here. After these two months, you can return together." The old man also hoped Qin Mu would accompany him here, after all, those others were just outsiders. "If I really went back, you’d surely be bored here, the aunts wouldn’t play chess or Tai Chi with you, you know." Qin Mu kindly reminded. The old man almost couldn’t help but laugh, pretending to be stern, raised his hand towards Qin Mu and shook it, "You little girl, you’re getting more and more mischievous." "Hmm! I think she’s a match for Mu Qingxin now." Mu Yichen quite agreed with the old man’s statement. "Didn’t you say I was more steady than Qingxin before?" Qin Mu curiously asked Mu Yichen. "I probably misjudged!" Mu Yichen turned to look at her, his eyes clearly full of affection. Qin Mu couldn’t bear the look in his eyes and quickly lowered her head to eat. The old man didn’t speak anymore, enjoying the rare calm. After dinner, Qin Mu first prepared the medicine for the old man and made sure he took it all, then returned to the living room. Mu Yichen had already been waiting there for a while, still patient. Qin Mu walked over and sat next to him, slowly leaning against the sofa back, shoulder to shoulder with him. Mu Yichen turned on the TV, the volume was low, but if it was quiet enough, one could hear what was being said. But at this moment, he couldn’t hear anything, because all his thoughts were consumed by Mrs. Mu. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel[f]ire.net She was just so indifferent, yet kept him on tenterhooks. "I’m leaving tomorrow! Do you have anything to say to me?" Qin Mu lowered her eyes. Mu Yichen looked at her, waiting for her to continue. Qin Mu turned her eyes to him with such reservedness, "I want to go back and take a look at the place where we lived as children, do you remember it?" It had been nearly twenty years. "Yes! But probably someone else is living there now!" Mu Yichen lowered his eyes as well, thinking about it and still told her. "That’s alright, just want to take a look!" Qin Mu said lightly, she just wanted to have a look, that was where they had met countless times, where they had developed feelings, at least for Qin Mu. "Alright! Then let’s go!" Mu Yichen had no choice but to agree, even though what he was hoping for wasn’t for her to say these things. But satisfying her wish seemed to make her happier than just loving her in bed, she was happy, and he was relieved. So they said a word to Grandpa, then drove to that former place. Before they even reached the apartment where Qin Mu used to live, Qin Mu was familiar with the entire surroundings for about twenty miles, still so familiar now. Expecting great changes, but found that every brick and tile had not changed, the only change was those trees, now thicker, stronger. In this dark and quiet night, they smoothly drove the car there.
