I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 106 Copper Plate

"Little Mujin." Before seeing Mu Jinghua, Xu Shu couldn't help but call out, "I'm late, have you... eaten yet?"

Mu Jinghua was waiting for him. As soon as he heard his voice, he quickly stood up from the dining table and ran out.

Qu Xiu laughed loudly in the back, and Qi Huairen shouted, "Slow down, don't fall."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jinghua tripped over the threshold, and fell forward unsteadily, bumping into Xu Shu's arms.

I couldn't see anyone, so I could only hear Xu Shu chuckling: "So anxious? Missing me?"

Mu Jinghua felt a little embarrassed. Of course he missed him, but it was embarrassing to say it out loud.

He stood firm, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xu Shu, and just gestured: "It's time to eat, do you want to go?"

Xu Shu smiled again: "Of course I have to eat what you made."

Mu Jinghua grabbed his sleeve and took him to eat.

Qu Xiu also stood up and pointed him to his seat: "Brother Mu has already served you the meal, you two can sit together and eat quickly, I'm starving."

Xu Shu hummed, then looked at Mu Jinghua: "How did you know I was coming to eat?"

Mu Jinghua looked up at him and gestured again: "I don't know, I just... hope you come."

"Little idiot." Xu Shu pinched his nose, "Then eat quickly."

Mu Jinghua sat down and picked up a chicken leg for Xu Shu. Seeing Xu Shu looking at him, he smiled sweetly again.

Xu Shu's heart softened and she wanted to kiss him, but when she saw Qi Huairen and Qu Xiu's eager expressions, she suppressed her impulse and just ate.

After the meal, Qu Xiu went to wash the dishes, while Mu Jinghua pulled Xu Shu into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Shu closed the door and leaned against it to look at him: "What? You can't wait to pull me into the room to do something bad?"

Mu Jinghua blushed immediately, and gently pushed Xu Shu, blaming him, "I have something to tell you, serious business."

This was the first time Mu Jinghua had something to discuss with Xu Shu, and Xu Shu immediately became serious: "What's the matter? Did someone bully you?"

Mu Jinghua shook his head and looked at Xu Shu seriously: "I am not someone who can be bullied."

Xu Shu just smiled, obviously not believing him: "You are not easy to bully? I think anyone can bully you to tears... Only Qu Xiu can be bullied by you."

Mu Jinghua laughed for a long time after hearing this and kept giggling.

His laugh was silent, only short breaths came from his chest. They sounded weak and thin, and could easily be missed if one did not listen carefully.

Xu Shu, however, listened attentively and thought he was adorable. He did not urge him to finish his words but just looked at him and smiled at him seriously.

Until Mu Jinghua came back to his senses, he pulled his sleeve a little embarrassedly and said with his lips: "Tease me again."

"You've been talking a lot today." Xu Shu pulled him to sit at the table, "Let's talk about business."

Mu Jinghua then remembered his plan and told Xu Shu his plan by gestures and lip reading.

Xu Shu understood his idea and naturally had no objection, but he had one thing: "Your main task now is to study medicine with Qi Huairen and take care of your body. If you continue to tinker with those medicinal foods, will you tire yourself out?"

Mu Jinghua was silent for a while before shaking his head and mouthing, "No, I have to eat every day anyway. I just need to give it to Master and Brother to try while I'm cooking. It won't take much time, and I think..."

"You don't have to try to convince me." Seeing that he seemed to be nagging, Xu Shu interrupted him and said, "Just figure it out yourself. I will definitely support you."

Mu Jinghua smiled at him again and moved forward to kiss him.

This time, Xu Shu predicted his move, dodged back, and laughed at him: "Baby, don't do this all the time, I really can't help it."

Mu Jinghua groaned a little aggrievedly, and Xu Shu couldn't help pinching his nose: "Don't you remember? Wait for you..."

"Eighteen years old." Mu Jinghua pouted and made an eighteen gesture to him.

Xu Shu was amused by him and wanted to pinch his nose again, but this time Mu Jinghua dodged him. He could only say, "Have you learned arithmetic well recently? Have you finished the addition and subtraction within 100 that I gave you last time?"

Speaking of this, Mu Jinghua became unhappy again and turned away and didn't want to look at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu knew at a glance that he hadn't finished. The last time he saw him doing math problems, Xu Shu knew that Mu Jinghua was not good at math: "What don't you know? Brother will teach you."

Mu Jinghua's mind raced, and he suddenly turned around and handed Xu Shu a purse, and then mouthed, "Then help me count how much money is in it?"

Xu Shu exclaimed, and took the seemingly small purse in confusion: "Xiao Mujin, are you... challenging my IQ?"

Mu Jinghua didn't understand what IQ was and blinked at him innocently.

Xu Shu had no choice but to take the purse, pour the copper coins inside onto the table, and resigned himself to helping him count them.

But the number was not large, Xu Shu quickly counted them: "One thousand and thirty."

Mu Jinghua immediately turned around and took out a piece of paper from the box on the dressing table. After reading it, he couldn't help but frowned. Why was Xu Shu's count different from his own count of three times?

He looked at Xu Shu seriously and gestured seriously: "Please do it again."

Xu Shu was puzzled, but still agreed with him: "Okay, do it again."

The second time was even faster, still the same number, Xu Shu told him again, only to see that his brows were furrowed even deeper: "What's wrong?"

Mu Jinghua handed him the paper in his hand and gestured a little aggrievedly: "I counted three times last night, and none of them were correct."

Xu Shu laughed loudly and went up to him to ruffle his head. "Alright, I know you're not good at math. Just give me that problem and I'll teach you."

Mu Jinghua shook her head, shaking Xu Shu's arm and acting like a spoiled child: "I can't learn it."

Xu Shu was helpless, but still agreed with him: "Then, let's go to Muyi Building to have a look?"

Mu Jinghua hesitated for a while, thinking of Du Wanbai, and then thinking of those beautiful boys and girls in Muyi Building, and finally shook his head: "I want to learn acupuncture with Master in the afternoon."

"You're starting to learn acupuncture now?" Xu Shu was a little surprised. "You've been studying arithmetic for a month, and you're still stuck on addition and subtraction within 100. Why are you learning medicine so fast?"

"Master will teach you." Mu Jinghua smiled at him, a little like passing the buck, "You didn't teach well."

"Did I teach you badly? Your temper is getting worse and worse?" Xu Shu was so angry that he laughed, but he couldn't bear to bully him too much, so he had to use the trick he used to bully Xu Hua and pounced on him to tickle him.

Mu Jinghua giggled when being tickled, and couldn't help shrinking into his arms, hugging him and pushing him, and soon made Xu Shu uncomfortable.

Xu Shu let him go and coughed softly: "Are you really not going to Muyi Building with me?"

Mu Jinghua began to pack the money in his pocket and was reluctant to talk to Xu Shu anymore.

Xu Shu thought for a moment and then said, "Well, if we don't go to Muyi Building, will we go on a date?"
