Mu Yao is also used to Xie Chongning's coldness now, anyway, he has always been like this, as long as she knows in her heart that he has slowly accepted her, that is enough.

Therefore, she was not disappointed, and still smiled brightly, "I want to thank Brother Ning, the hosta you gave me is beautiful and beautiful, I am very happy." ”

Hearing this, Xie Chongning's jaw tightened unconsciously, and he wanted to deny it.

It's just that Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the little girl looking up at her with infinite joy on her face, and the words on her lips turned around, but the exit became, "No need, just do it." ”

Buying a hairpin can be said to be convenient, but sneaking into her room in the middle of the night to deliver a hairpin, no matter how you look at it, it can't be easy, right? Mu Yu was stunned and almost laughed out loud, but he was afraid that Big Brother Xie would be angry, so he had to endure it hard.

"In any case, I want to thank you." She deliberately said mysteriously: "Brother Ning gave me a gift, and I want to give you a copy back, I guarantee that you will like it!" ”

Hearing this little girl's words, the corners of Xie Chongning's lips hooked, it was not so easy to win his favor, but he said indifferently: "There is no need to give it back." ”

Mu Yu didn't answer this, only stared at him with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Wow, Brother Ning, are you smiling, you are also looking forward to my gift, right?" ”

She shook her head happily, and muttered something that would not disappoint him......

Xie Chongning choked, and suddenly interrupted her with a handsome face, "You should go back." ”

Mu Yu stopped talking, secretly annoying that he was a little carried away. Seeing that he had no room for negotiation, he was afraid of making him angry, so he could only nod his head in frustration, "Okay, I know." Brother Naning, I'm leaving. ”

She reluctantly glanced at it again, and then turned around and walked slowly in the direction she had come.

Looking at her petite back and walking weakly on the path, Xie Chongning pursed his thin lips, and a trace of entanglement flashed in his dark eyes, but in just a moment, he suppressed the undeserved emotion and regained his coldness.

Mu Yu, who returned to Qinchun Garden, was indeed a little depressed at first, although he knew that Big Brother Xie was that kind of cold temperament, but it was also very hurtful to be disliked by others, but then she was happy again.

No matter how Big Brother Xie acted indifferently, he was clearly looking forward to her return.

Also, where is there a child who doesn't like gifts?

Mr. Xie is only thirteen years old, and in his own time, he was still a junior high school student under the protection of his parents, of course, a child.

So she quickly picked herself up.

After dinner, it was still early, so Mu Yu took Qionglan to the upper room and begged Shen Mei to allow her to go to the study to get a book to read.

Shen Mei couldn't be the master of this matter, so she only asked her father before talking. The study was peaceful, and he would deal with some confidential letters there every day, summon his staff, and where people could come and go at will.

After listening to his wife's inquiry in the evening, Mu Heyun agreed greatly and did not hesitate at all. First, I am happy that my daughter has the heart to learn, and secondly, I naturally read a lot of books and don't have the heart to worry about the Xie family boy anymore, causing trouble.

In this way, Mu Yu easily gained the freedom to go to the study to pick up books and read them as long as his father was away.

Of course, Shen Mei didn't forget to tell her, such as not staying for a long time, not tampering with the things in the study, etc., so as not to make her daughter bold.

Mu Yu listened patiently, until her mother finished nagging, and when she left the upper room, she took Qionglan to the study in the front yard. At this time, Luan Pinghou had not yet returned, so she naturally wanted to take the opportunity to get a suitable book.

Flipping through the pages, Mu Yu finally took the first volume of the history book.

This book is a bit more difficult to read at her age, but it should be suitable for Xie Chongning. And after copying a book, give a copy, her gift can be said to be endless, and it can be given for a long time! Don't worry about forgetting if you don't see the big guy for a long time, after all, the book is there, and seeing words is like seeing people!

She didn't worry about her father knowing what would happen, with his temperament, at most she would think that she thought too highly of herself, and if she found that she couldn't read, she would naturally send her back for something else.

After thinking everything out properly, Mu Yu happily returned to Qinchun Garden with the book in his hand, and began to pick up the lamp and copy it that night.

Qiong Lan was puzzled and a little worried, "Miss, you can read Master Hou's book for a long time, why do you have to work so hard to copy it?" ”

Mu Yu stopped, shook his sour wrist, and said seriously: "You don't understand, you can really write it down by copying more, otherwise you can understand the meaning of it if you look at it again!" ”

It was tiring, but it was the best gift she could think of. For the sake of the boss's favor, she will never back down!

Thinking that she was becoming more and more energetic, she no longer paid attention to Qionglan and concentrated on copying the book.

Rao is Mu Yu worked so hard, and it took half a month to copy the book, she asked her subordinates to help bind it, so she quietly took a brocade wrapped and put it at the head of the bed, for fear of getting dirty.

It took a few more days to find an opportunity to get rid of Qionglan and take advantage of the night to come to Qingsong Garden. As usual, he secretly climbed over the wall and came to Xie Chongning's door.

Only this time, before she could sneak in, she heard the door creak open from the inside.

Mu Yu looked up in shock, and found that Xie Chongning, who was dressed in a white shirt and had a somewhat slender figure, was standing inside the door looking at her quietly, I don't know if it was because the night was too thick, or the light rendering in the room made her see a trace of warmth from that handsome face.

She couldn't be dreaming, was she?

In disbelief, he heard Xie Chongning's cold voice, "Go back." ”

Mu Yu: "......"

Just say it's impossible, what warmth must be that she is wrong!

Fortunately, she was small and flexible, so she squeezed in before Xie Chongning closed the door. Seeing that the young man glanced at her and turned back to the house, as if he had no intention of calling his subordinates, Mu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed up with his mouth flat.

Xie Chongning sat back on the couch and picked up the scroll on the side, as if he didn't want to pay attention to her again.

This time, Mu Yu didn't dare to climb onto the couch, just stood aside, and aggrievedly took out the brocade bag from his arms and handed it over, "Brother Ning, don't be angry, I'm here to give a return gift, I'll go back after sending it off." ”

Xie Chongning frowned slightly, and finally put down the scroll after a while and looked at the brocade bag.

He was silent for too long, Mu Yu was afraid that he would refuse, so he hurriedly opened the small bag and revealed the book inside, "Brother Ning, look, this is the book I copied myself." I heard the person who took care of the study said that this book is difficult to find, I think you love to read so much, you will definitely like it. ”

Scratching his little face embarrassedly, "But I'm slow to copy, I've only copied one volume at this point, and the later ones may take longer, don't dislike it, I'll try to be faster." ”

Xie Chongning glanced up at her, and there seemed to be a very complicated meaning in his deep eyes, which Mu Yu couldn't understand. But he finally picked up the book and looked through it slowly.

Mu Yu stared at him nervously and expectantly, for fear that if he said "I don't like it", then her hard work would be in vain!

Xie Chongning, who was hanging his head to read the book, didn't notice her gaze, and his eyes were only full of childish handwriting on the book.

Although it can be seen that she is imitating the words in the original book with her heart, where can she learn the essence after only a few months of learning words, so it is really not beautiful to look at, at most she can only say that she knows what is written.

Even so, he watched it for a long time.

In Xie Chongning's memory, no one has ever been able to prepare a gift for him so carefully. For a while, he couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, but he only felt that staying in the Luanping Marquis Mansion didn't seem to be as bad as he thought before.

However, after turning the whole book over, he still opened his mouth calmly, "I can accept this book as your return gift, but you don't want to give it again in the future, and I won't want it if you give it again." ”

Before Mu Yu could be happy, he was splashed with a basin of cold water on his head, "But ......" This is only the first volume......

"Needless to say." Xie Chongning interrupted her, as if he was casually putting the book aside, and the eyes that looked up were indifferent without a trace of warmth, "You should go back, otherwise I will call someone to come in to see you off." ”

"Brother Ning......" Mu Yu didn't give up and wanted to grab the young man's sleeve, but his chubby little hand was only halfway extended, and he froze in mid-air under the cold gaze of the other party.

She retracted in shame and clenched the hem of her skirt.

"Then, I'll go back." Not daring to look at Xie Chongning's expression again, Mu Yu lowered his head and whispered like a gnat, turned around and ran out.

On the way back, she silently shed tears while avoiding her mother-in-law who was patrolling the night.

In the past, she was certainly close to her dead face, but it was also because although Xie Chongning was cold, he did not really reject her.

But this time was different.

He said it to the point of decisiveness, obviously he didn't want it, but he was forced to accept it because of her entanglement.

Mu Yu is that no matter how thick-skinned he is, there is no way to turn a blind eye.

Back in Qinchun Garden, fortunately, no one found out that she had sneaked out, Mu Yu carefully took off her clothes and rolled onto the bed, holding the cold quilt with tears in her eyes, even if it was still a summer night, she only felt cold.

She only cared about her own sadness, but she didn't know that someone silently escorted her back all the way, and stood in the shadows outside the window for a long time, until the mother-in-law who was patrolling the night approached this direction, and then left with a leisurely sigh.

On this night, the candle flame of Qingsongen was burned until dawn.

The sky was white, and Xie Chongning, who was at the desk, closed the book in his hand expressionlessly. The cover was blank, and he only later found that there was a small note under the inner page, which read, "My words are not good-looking, Brother Ning inscribed the title of the book himself."

He picked up the pen at the time, but put it back in his mind.

It's okay to be empty like that.

……

Mu Yu was depressed for a few days.

Qionglan saw that she was in a bad mood and said: "Miss is tired of copying books a few days ago, Mrs. will let me tell you today, don't be anxious to read books, if you don't understand it, it will be easy to change the book, so it is called step by step." ”

Mu Yu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and his unenergetic appearance was supposed to make his mother worried, so he persuaded the people around him.

She took a breath and cheered up, "I'm really too anxious, so I'll let my mother change the book and read it easily." ”
