Chapter 374 Harsh Rules 3
At four o'clock in the morning, the world outside the window was still immersed in silence, and the hustle and bustle of the city seemed to be covered by a soft black curtain.
Mu Xiaoji gradually woke up in the dim light. The little monster beside him was sleeping soundly, and its even breathing was particularly clear in the silent room.
Mu Xiaoji looked at the peaceful sleeping face of the little monster, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing an extremely gentle smile.
He stretched out his hand carefully, his movements were so gentle as if he was afraid to disturb the tranquility of the room, and gently helped the little monster turn over, and then began to slowly massage his back.
"How is it? Little Monster, is your technique okay? If not, I will sign up for a class and learn more professional massage techniques.
You have given so much to me before, now it is my turn to take good care of you." Mu Xiaoji murmured to himself in a low voice, his voice full of affection and doting.
His eyes remained on the little monster the entire time, and his hands kept moving, as if he wanted to convey all his care and love through this massage.
After completing a series of actions, Mu Xiaoji's thoughts drifted to Chou Bao. Thinking about how Chou Bao had come to this strange environment for the first time and had agreed to those almost harsh rules without hesitation in order to stay with his little daddy, he felt a wave of complicated emotions in his heart.
Mu Xiaoji slowly stood up, picked up the cane beside the bed, took every step carefully, and walked towards the next bedroom with a slight stagger.
Arriving at the door of Choubao's bedroom, Mu Xiaoji raised his hand and gently pushed open the door. Inside the room, the large white bed was clean and tidy, without a single wrinkle. One could tell at a glance that no one had ever slept on it.
Mu Xiaoji frowned slightly, and wondered in his heart: "Is it because the child is afraid of sleeping alone and secretly ran to his grandparents' room?"
With this thought in mind, Mu Xiaoji came to the bedroom door of Mu Huiying and her husband again. He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock", a few soft sounds echoed in the quiet corridor. After a while, the door slowly opened, and Mu Huiying appeared at the door with sleepy eyes. Seeing that it was Mu Xiaoji, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
With a hoarse voice like someone who had just woken up, he asked, "Xiaoji, why are you up so early? Did you not eat last night? Are you hungry?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mu Xiaoji's face, and he explained sheepishly: "Uh... Sorry, Mom, I disturbed your rest. I just wanted to ask, is Choubao here with you?"
When Mu Huiying heard this, she sobered up a bit, a look of panic appeared on her face, and she asked hurriedly: "No, isn't he in his room?"
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoji reacted immediately and quickly comforted him: "I just went to his room, but I didn't see him. I thought he came to sleep with you. Maybe he went to the bathroom when I went in. You should sleep a little longer, it's still early!"
After hearing this, Mu Huiying didn't think much about it. She nodded slightly and watched Mu Xiaoji turn around and leave.
Mu Huiying closed the door and went back to bed. Dean Guo beside her turned over and asked vaguely, "Who were you talking to just now?"
Mu Huiying yawned and replied, "It was Xiaoji. He was worried about Choubao. He didn't see anyone and thought Choubao came to sleep with us."
Dean Guo couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Alas, Choubao is such a well-behaved child that it makes people feel distressed. He should be at an age of innocence, but he exudes the responsibility of an adult."
Mu Huiying agreed with this and sighed softly, saying, "Hey, three years ago, Yu'er jumped out of the window and left. How much injustice must she have suffered.
The more sensible Choubao is, the more wronged Yuer has been. We have all wronged Yuer, and we should not use secular concepts to constrain them. "
"Yes! There is no medicine for regret in the world. If time could go back, I only hope that my two children can be healthy and happy. When I see Yuer like this now... I still feel uncomfortable here." Dean Guo's voice was full of regret and emotion.
At this time, Mu Xiaoji did not give up the search for Choubao. With a trace of worry, he walked downstairs and headed towards the gym.
Arriving at the gym entrance, he gently pushed open the door. Instantly, he saw Choubao's tiny figure, sweating profusely while running on the treadmill.
The belt of the treadmill was spinning rapidly, but Choubao's steps kept up with the rhythm steadily, and his small body burst out with amazing energy.
Mu Xiaoji looked at Chou Bao's back, feeling mixed emotions. He slowly approached the treadmill and asked softly, "Jiang Shuo, have you not slept all night?"
When Chou Bao heard the sound, he reached out and pressed the walking button. The speed of the treadmill gradually slowed down. He walked slowly and said, "Your conditions don't stipulate that I have to sleep in my own room, right?"
Mu Xiaoji was speechless for a moment, as if his throat was choked by something, and he was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but said with concern: "It's not good for your health if you keep doing this. If you have a room but don't sleep, I decided to let grandpa come and take you back to Kuncheng!"
After hearing this, Choubao reached out to turn off the treadmill, turned around and left without hesitation, leaving only one word "childish".
Afterwards, he walked to the yoga mat and sat down, crossed his legs, formed seals with his hands, slowly raised his internal energy, and began to practice breathing exercises. He looked so focused that it seemed as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Mu Xiaoji looked at Chou Bao's figure, and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He turned around and left silently, closing the door gently.
Standing at the door, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Choubao's tenacity, stubbornness, stubbornness and self-discipline deeply hurt his heart.
He began to reflect on his behavior. Was it really wrong to ask Choubao to leave Little Daddy and sleep alone in the room?
After all, I am used to sleeping with the little monster, but I asked a child to make concessions. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I am really too naive and selfish.
At dawn, the morning light was like spilled golden paint, shining through the thin clouds and pouring unreservedly onto the vast land. Every inch of land was dyed with a warm halo.
At the same time, the ray of sunlight gently fell on Mu Xiaoji's shoulder, but even so, it still couldn't dispel the haze lingering in his heart.
Mu Xiaoji, leaning on a cane, walked slowly towards a nearby breakfast shop.
On the streets, early risers are either rushing to work in a hurry or leisurely walking their pets, enjoying this quiet and beautiful morning.
Over at the breakfast shop, the air was already filled with enticing aromas. The owner was busily moving around the shop with great enthusiasm, carefully preparing breakfast for every customer.
At the entrance of the breakfast shop, people lined up consciously. Mu Xiaoji stood in the line, waiting quietly.
From time to time, he looked into the store, watching the boss skillfully operating the steamer and oil pan, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional about the everyday life.
Soon, it was the lady's turn to order. "Hello, ma'am, what would you like?" the boss asked kindly with a big smile on his face.
The lady also smiled and responded: "Three steamed buns, two fried dough sticks, a cup of soy milk and a portion of fresh milk."
"Okay, please wait a moment!" The boss responded loudly while recording quickly.
After a while, the boss's assistant brought the packed breakfast to the window and said politely, "Hello, ma'am, this is your breakfast, take it."
The lady took the breakfast and nodded slightly in thanks: "Thank you!"
Finally it was Mu Xiaoji's turn. The boss asked enthusiastically, "Sir, what would you like to order?"
Mu Xiaoji scanned the dazzling array of breakfast items, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Boss, one portion of each, please! And two cups of soy milk and two portions of fresh milk."
The boss was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and joked, "Sir, give me one portion of each. Are you sure you can finish them? From the look on your face, I know you've never bought breakfast before."
Mu Xiaoji's face instantly flushed with embarrassment, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Yeah, I don't really know what my family likes to eat, so I thought if I buy a little bit of everything, there will always be something that suits my family's taste. I will slowly learn to manage these things in the future."
The boss' eyes were full of understanding and appreciation. The assistant quickly packed up the breakfast ordered by Mu Xiaoji and handed it to him.
The boss also smiled and reminded: "Sir, take it and welcome to come again next time!"
Mu Xiaoji scanned the code to pay, took the heavy breakfast with both hands, said with a sincere smile on his face: "Okay, thank you, boss." After that, he carried the breakfast and slowly walked home along the way he came.
Along the way, the morning breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, ruffling Mu Xiaoji's hair.
The stubborn and tenacious look of Choubao kept appearing in his mind, and he secretly made up his mind to take good care of this child and be the father that he should be.
After returning home, Mu Xiaoji gently opened the door and walked into the living room, where he saw Chou Bao had finished washing up, wearing casual clothes, and walking down from upstairs slowly.
The casual outfit made Choubao look more refreshing and neat, and his young face showed a calmness beyond his age.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoji immediately greeted, "I bought breakfast, come and eat it while it's hot. Grandpa Guo and I will take you to kindergarten later."
Choubao didn't say anything, he just walked silently to the dining table, sat down quietly, and looked at Mu Xiaoji quietly with his eyes.
Mu Xiaoji walked into the kitchen, carefully took out breakfast from the bag one by one, placed it on a plate, and then brought it to the dining table.
His movements were gentle and focused. Although he was not skilled enough, he had tried hard to imitate the little monster and to be a good father.
Choubao looked at Mu Xiaoji's busy figure, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
After everything was arranged, Choubao reached out and selected a cup of fresh milk, picked up a bun, and started eating by himself.
He ate very quietly, chewing each bite slowly, as if he was enjoying this rare breakfast moment.
Mu Xiaoji sat down and watched Chou Bao eat with gusto. He took the first step, peeled an egg, and lovingly put it into Chou Bao's bowl.
Choubao still didn't respond. He just focused on eating the food in the bowl and drinking the milk.
Mu Xiaoji didn't care too much. He knew that the road ahead was still long. The relationship between him and Chou Bao needed more patience and love to slowly repair and carefully manage...
