The young man pulled An Xiaoxiao and ran quickly on the path of the Hou Mansion.

An Xiaoxiao was panting, it was not easy to keep up with the tall man in front.

"Big brother, where are you going to take me?"

The handsome young man seemed to be stunned, turned his head to An Xiaoxiao and smiled: "I'm not the eldest brother, I'm the second brother!" ”

"Uh——?" An Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled.

Taking advantage of her distraction, the boy pulled her for a few more steps and dodged into a hidden courtyard.

The courtyard is so large that there is not a single person. In the middle of the atrium, a large maple tree flourishes, bringing some life to the deserted courtyard.

The young man took An Xiaoxiao's hand and led her to the maple tree.

"What kind of place is this?" An Xiaoxiao didn't expect that there would be such a quiet place in the prosperous Hou Mansion.

The young man's clear black eyes looked at An Xiaoxiao, put the index finger of his right hand to his lips, and whispered: "Forbidden land!" ”

An Xiaoxiao was a little tired from running, and there was no seat everywhere, only to see a simple swing hanging from the high branches of the maple tree. / She sat on the swing and swung her feet in the air a few times. The spring in the capital is a pleasant and good weather, sitting under such a luxuriant tree, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, and An Xiaoxiao feels very quiet in her heart for a while.

In the eyes of the young man, he saw the little girl in the pink gauze dress, sitting on his favorite swing, her skirt and cuffs fluttering in the wind, and the hairband on her head danced softly. There was a warm smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, her cheeks were slightly rosy, and there was a little snack residue at the corner of her mouth, like a kitten that had just finished stealing food.

Thinking so, the boy cried out from his upturned lips: "Little flower cat——! ”

"What ——?" An Xiaoxiao asked again.

The boy smiled and walked behind An Xiaoxiao to push the swing for her.

The little swing squeaked and squeaked, and the girl in pink was also scared and screamed.

"Don't push too high, I'm afraid of heights!"

"Coward! It's fun to be high! ”

"Ahh

"Don't, don't, don't...... I'll just push it lightly! ”

When the swing swung in an arc that satisfied An Xiaoxiao, she smiled and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Mu Yige-" The young man's voice was mellow, but his tone still maintained the childish childishness.

"Your surname is Mu, too? Who are you Jincheng Hou? ”

"I call him Daddy!"

"You are the second son of the Marquis of Jincheng? No wonder you say you're the second brother! Are you bigger than Mulland Creek? How old are you? ”

"Five!"

"Five-year-old ——!?"

The hand pushing behind her froze for a moment, An Xiaoxiao turned her head suspiciously, only to see Mu Yige looking at her steadily. He stood under the maple tree, the dappled sunlight casting deep and shallow marks on his white clothes, and his face half sunk in shadow and half exposed to the sun.

He said with a smile: "My name is Mu Yige, five years old. My mother said that one day someone knows my name and hears my age, but does not laugh, that person is a good friend of Yige. He paused and asked softly, "Little Flower Cat - are you willing to be Yige's good friend?" ”

An Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. She carefully observed Mu Yige's expression, but she didn't find any jokes. Seeing that he was always looking at her expectantly, there was a kind of pitiful feeling of a pet dog staring at his master. An Xiaoxiao opened her mouth hesitantly: "You, you said you were five years old?" ”

"Yes!" Mu Yige nodded vigorously and said, "Doctor Chen said that Yige's body will grow up, but he will only be five years old in the future. ”

And so it was! I felt that something was wrong with him. However, how could there be no news of the second young master of the Hou family in Jincheng who was demented at all? She shouldn't have inadvertently committed any taboos, knowing the big things that shouldn't be known about the way, right?

An Xiaoxiao was about to ask a few more questions, when the voices of the people outside the courtyard came: "Second Young Master, Miss An-"

Mu Yige also heard it, but he still looked at An Xiaoxiao stupidly, as if he was not ready to respond.

"Someone's coming for us!" An Xiaoxiao lifted the corner of her skirt and prepared to call someone.

Mu Yige grabbed her and said aggrievedly: "The little flower cat hasn't answered Yige's question yet!" ”

An Xiaoxiao was a little depressed, she intuitively felt that if she agreed to him, there might be a lot of trouble in the future.

There was a rush of shouting outside, but it only circled around the courtyard, which seemed to be a forbidden place, and people did not dare to enter.

An Xiaoxiao's slender arm was clamped by Mu Yige, and she had no choice but to shout: "We are here!" In the yard! ”

Mu Yige's eyes darkened, let go of her hand, and stood silently in place, like an abandoned puppy.

Hearing An Xiaoxiao's shouts outside, someone finally broke down the door, and several little maidservants rushed in.

"Miss An, you're scared! Please come back to the garden with us! ”

An Xiaoxiao bowed, led by two maidservants, and prepared to leave. Behind her, the upright young man in white did not say a word.

A little guy passed by her, hurriedly ran to Mu Yige's side, saw that his hair was unkempt and his clothes were stained with a lot of mud, and he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Second young master, why did you do this?" ”

The family next to him pouted and said, "Who told you not to be optimistic about your stupid son, wait, Madame will definitely punish you later!" ”

"You dare to insult the young master, beware of me telling the Hou Ye, he will not spare you!"

The family sneered disdainfully: "If Master Hou has time to listen to your nonsense, you can just sue." It's just that today, the young master made a mistake and ran to this Fengyuan again, so that the Hou Ye knew that even your young master would inevitably have a board! ”

The little guy was about to fight back, and another Ding interjected: "Okay, are you finished?" For a long time for dementia, the eldest young master and eldest lady are still waiting in the garden! ”

"You-the second young master is not demented, he just has a fever and burns out his brain......"

"Isn't that just a fool? You see, we call him stupid, and he doesn't react at all. What a stupidity! ”

An Xiaoxiao paused as she walked forward. She turned her head to look at Mu Yige, only to see that the young man seemed to be unaware of the dispute in his ear, and looked at the little guy beside him who was angry with him with a pair of ignorant eyes, and seemed to feel An Xiaoxiao's gaze, he also looked at her from a distance and smiled stupidly at her.
