Rebirth of the Little Mute

On the third floor of No.
1 Middle School, Mu Kai and Fu Jiayun were sitting in the atrium lounge, along with other senior high school students.

 

    Fu Jiayun saw that Mu Kai was depressed as soon as he came back.
As a suitor, of course, Fu Jiayun wanted to care about Mu Kai, “What’s the matter, didn’t you have enough to eat with uncle?”

 

    Mu Kai shook his head lightly, “No, it’s…” Mu Kai subconsciously wants to tell about Mu Xiaoke’s hairpin, but when he thought of Fu Jiayun’s recent activities, he might g please MuXiaoke and buy something from him after hearing about it.

 

    Those hairpins made by Mu Xiaoke are indeed very beautiful.
Generally speaking, Mu Xiaoke is not fooling around but has a purpose.
He has gained so much popularity on the Internet, and so many girls buy hairpins from him.
If this matter is placed in ordinary people’s homes, it is a good thing regardless of boys or girls.

 

    Mu Kai looked at Fu Jiayun, and Fu Jiayun looked blankly, “What’s the matter?”

 

    “It’s nothing, Xiao Ke had a fight with his father, and I was also implicated in the quarrel.
I don’t know how angry my father will be for a while, hey, Jiayun, what am I doing? What should I do?”

 

    “Xiao Ke quarreled with you again?” Fu Jiayun was very distressed and quickly patted Mu Kai on the shoulder, “It’s okay, if uncle gets angry, he won’t be angry with you.
Xiao Ke is not sensible…” Fu Jiayun suddenly stopped.
Is Xiao Ke ignorant? No… What Mu Xiaoke said to him that day is obviously a lot more sensible.

 

    “Xiao Ke must be in a bad mood because of his illness, so don’t worry about it.”

 

    Fu Jiayun changed the subject suddenly, which made Mu Kai a little unacceptable, “You… how do you know that he quarreled with Dad because of his illness?”

 

    Fu Jiayun was terrified by these words, but he won’t let Mu Kai misunderstand that he and Mu Xiaoke have some secret relationship, “Isn’t it because he couldn’t speak because he was sick again? He did well in the exam this time,  it’s impossible for uncle to be angry with him for his grades, right?”

 

    Mu Kai clenched his fists secretly, and Fu Jiayun mentioned this again, why did everyone mention to him that Mu Xiaoke did very well in the exam these days, is it to mock him for his sudden decline?

 

    It was the same when the parent-teacher meeting was held in the morning.
Their father said that his brother did well in the exam so, let’s eat outside to celebrate.

 

    In order not to make Mu Xiaoke so proud, Mu Kai deliberately told Mu Xiangyang when he was happy that his youngest son was not doing his job properly.
Sure enough, Mu Xiangyang immediately reprimanded Mu Xiaoke who should have been praised for doing the hairpin thing.

 

    If Mu Kai knew that Mu Xiaoke was making hairpins before Mu Xiangyang knew about Mu Xiaoke’s excellent grades, he would probably let Mu Xiaoke because of his excellent grades.

 

    It was impossible for Mu Xiaoke to play with people’s hearts like Mu Kai, so he didn’t understand why Mu Kai didn’t expose the matter until today.

 

    In addition, Mu Kai also wanted Mu Xiangyang to be less attentive when he knew his grades.
He was confident that Mu Xiangyang’s doting on him would make Mu Xiangyang ignore his grades, and Mu Xiaoke would have to suffer for him.
All of Mu Xiangyang’s anger.

 

    “Kai?” Fu Jiayun shook Mu Kai lightly.
Fu Jiayun found that Mu Kai has always been so distracted recently, and he doesn’t know what’s wrong.
Could it be because of this midterm exam? “If you’re really worried about your grades, I can help you.
Work hard and you’ll pass the exam next time.”

 

    But Fu Jiayun’s clichéd comforting words only made Mu Kai feel more anxious.
Even if he is talented, he can’t help him solve Mu Xiaoke.

 

    Only… Rong Yanzhe…

 

    Not long after, the parents left the classroom one after another.
Fu Jiayun’s father also came this time.
Fu Jiayun’s father is a busy man who holds an important position in the municipal party committee, so it is difficult to see him usually.
However, this parents’ meeting is the first grade report of the third year of high school, and almost all parents of the students are present.

 

    As soon as Father Fu came out, he found his son, “Jiayun.”

 

    “Dad, didn’t you chat with the teacher?” Fu Jiayun walked over and saw that his father did not come out alone, Mu Xiangyang was beside him.
“Hello, Uncle Mu.”

 

    Mu Kai had no choice but to greet Father Fu.

 

    Mu Xiangyang’s face at this time was darker than when he just came out of the restaurant, and Mu Kai couldn’t help but feel the jitter in his heart.
Could it be that his strategy didn’t work? Did Mu Xiaoke not be able to block his father’s anger? 

 

At this time, Father Fu smiled and said to Mu Kai: “Xiaokai, how did you do in the exam this time? I don’t think I saw you on the grand list”.

 

    Mu Xiangyang snorted coldly.
“He doesn’t study as hard as Fu Jiayun, I don’t even know where his mind is.”

 

    “Hey, Mr.
Mu, why do you say that to your child? It doesn’t matter if he didn’t pass the exam this time.
It’s still half a year before the college entrance examination.
Xiaokai, keep working hard, uncle is very optimistic about you.”

 

    “Thank you…thank you uncle, I will work hard.” Mu Kai said more and more quietly.

 

    This made Fu Jiayun feel distressed when he heard this, and directly return to his father: “Dad, don’t pressure him.”

 

    As everyone knows, the expressions of the two fathers changed when he said this, especially Mu Xiangyang, whose face was as dark as Bao Gong’s1

 

 

    “Xiao Kai, go ask your homeroom teacher for leave and come home with me tonight.”

 

    Mu Kai was stunned, “Dad, I want to…”

 

    “What do you want? Come home with me!”

 

    In the Mu family, Mu Xiangyang and his father sat together.
Mu Xiangyang held the transcripts that the parents would get back during the day, one was Mu Kai’s, and the other was Mu Xiaoke’s.

 

    “Tell me, what have you been doing this half-semester? Did you ignore what I said to you before? How can you get such grades? You still have the mind to care about what your brother is doing outside.
Even if he plays with things and loses his mind, he can get into the top ten.
What about you, you are in school 24 hours a day.
Tell me what you did!”

 

    “Dad, I didn’t… I just…”

 

    “It’s just what, your class teacher specifically came to me for a chat before the meeting.  He told me to be wary of your puppy love and your inattention to your studies! And your brother was slandered and made rumors, and it was your pursuer who did it! You didn’t even tell me anything! I’m not dead yet!! You, brothers, are thinking about how to divide my money, aren’t you!”

 

    Mu Kai never expected to pick up a stone and drop it on his foot2

.
Instead of taking all the fire on Mu Xiaoke, Mu Xiangyang scolded him like a dog! He hastily explained: “Dad, I never thought about splitting up.
It was all proposed by Xiao Ke, I…”

 

 

    Mu Xiangyang didn’t want to listen to these messy things at this time, so he interrupted him directly: “How is your brother? That’s your brother’s business.
Take care of yourself!”

 

    Mu Kai’s hands and feet were cold and he was flustered.

 

    After the parents’ meeting, Mu Xiaoke’s class was busy preparing gifts for Chu Han.
Chu Han was leaving on Wednesday.
Everyone in their class liked Chu Han very much.
Han’s class was so lively that it made the mathematics class that they were afraid of interesting, and the substitute head teacher often took them to play various group activities, which made the relationship between the students in the class much more natural. 

 

    In the beginning, because of Chen Xiaoxi’s instigation and isolation, there were many conflicts in the class.
Now that the thorn heads are honest, no one will make trouble.

 

    On the day Chu Han left, 30 children took photos with him again and begged for hugs as a souvenir.

 

    However, the cold and handsome guy didn’t agree to the girl’s request for a hug, but what surprised the girl was that the man who said he was not close to others turned around and gave Mu Xiaoke a hug.

 

    When Chu Han hugged Mu Xiaoke before Mu Xiaoke could react, Chu Han’s strong chest pressed against his face, and those big hands that often rubbed his head were patting his back.
This is the first time I feel that a man’s hug is so gentle and warm…

 

    Here again, among so many people he knows, only Chu Han gave him the tenderness he wanted.
Mu Xiaoke closed his eyes and gently grabbed Chu Han’s sleeve.

 

    Chu Han let go of Mu Xiaoke, and still did not forget to rub Mu Xiaoke’s head again, “Okay, Xiao Ke will accept this blessing on behalf of the whole class.” 

 

“Teacher, you cheat! Just hug Xiaoke but don’t hug us.
We don’t accept it!”

 

    Chu Han seldom burst out laughing, “That can’t be helped, I can only hug Xiao Ke.
Right, Xaio Ke?”

 

    Mu Xiaoke’s face is about to explode.
When did he say something like that? Why didn’t he know?

 

    Chu Han patted Mu Xiaoke’s head full of question marks, “Okay, I’m leaving, everyone, goodbye.”

 

    Chu Han left without showing any reluctance.

 

    For some reason, looking at Chu Han’s back, Mu Xiaoke felt uneasy.
Maybe after leaving the identity of the trainee teacher, Chu Han would no longer care about them, and this farewell might be a farewell forever.     

 

On the first day, Chu Han left, Mu Xiaoke sent a message to Chu Han: “Can we meet again in the future, Teacher Chu?”

After the message was sent out, Mu Xiaoke buckled his mobile phone and looked outside the window, unable to sleep for a long time.
