TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 38: Xiao Wu Speaks His First Word
In the original novel, after dealing with Mu Jingzhe and the annoying Li Zhaodi, Tang Moling quickly came to propose. Their relationship has grown quickly and steadily.
Why hasn't he proposed to her?
Mu Jingzhe glanced at the male and female protagonists.
He didn't see anything wrong, but Tang Moling caught his gaze.
Tang Moling looked at him with a strange expression that seemed to be filled with anger. Mu Jingzhe quickly threw away a face.
Forgetit. The relationship between the male and female lead was none of his business.
Right now, he was focused on finding money to take care of the children, so he did not make trouble for Mu Xue. Even Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng were busy selling bread and had no time to interrupt. Without their hindrance, their relationship would only be smoother.
Mu Jingzhe immediately turned his attention back and went to help if needed.
The children had been warned by him not to run.
Mu Jingzhe was immediately surrounded by a few people. Now that his reputation had been restored, everyone was willing to interact with him.
Xiao Wu followed him obediently, but when Mu Jingzhe finished washing the potatoes, Xiao Wu disappeared.
In the end, he saw Xiao Wu with the old trumpet player.
The trumpet is a musical instrument that is played at every wedding and funeral ceremony in the village. The villagers had invited the trumpet blower, and Xiao Wu was instantly attracted by the trumpet-generated melody.
Not caring for the noise, he crouched down in front of the old man, watching him with sparkling eyes.
“Xiao Wu likes to hear trumpets. Every time we held an event in the village and the trumpet played, Xiao Wu would definitely be there.”
Seeing Mu Jingzhe nervousness, Shao Qiyang rubbed his nose and explained.
Xiao Wu looked at Mu Jingzhe and smiled, but he remained crouching, not moving in the slightest.
Mu Jingzhe remembered that in the novel, Xiao Wu was a world-famous top musician. He nodded and said, “Remember to tell me where you are going next time. I'm surprised when I don't know where you are. ”
When Xiao Wu heard that Mu Jingzhe was frightened, he stood up and patted him to comfort him.
If Xiao Wu wanted to listen to the trumpet, Mu Jingzhe would let him and just glance at him from time to time.
He watched Xiao Wu and did not realize that he was being watched.
When Shao Qiyang met Mu Xue again, he felt a little uneasy. However, then, his attention was attracted by Xiao Wu and Mu Jingzhe, and he would only notice him from time to time.
Tang Moling had noticed Mu Xue registering a gift and speaking occasionally, but Mu Xue realized that Tang Moling's attention had been on Mu Jingzhe some time ago.
He kept glancing at her.
The smile on Mu Xue's face became increasingly dim. After he finished eating and greeted the villagers, he turned around and left.
It finally occurred to Tang Moling that he was unhappy. "What's wrong? Who makes you unhappy again?”
“Why are you following me? If you want to find Mu Jingzhe, go.”
“Mu Jingzhe? Why did you mention him?”
"Didn't you stare at her all the time?" Shao Qiyang also noticed Mu Jingzhe.
Tang Moling felt aggrieved. “Didn't you see that I was glaring at him? The last time he hit me, I glared at him after I finished scolding him.”
These words failed to calm Mu Xue. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “It has been a long time. Why are you so considerate of her?”
This is what makes him feel uncomfortable and unhappy.
Tang Moling was stunned for a moment. “I didn't notice. I just glared at him.”
“It was also a form of attention. Tang Moling, if you care so much about her, don't come looking for me again.”
Mu Xue bit her lips. “Second Aunt asked me about you earlier. I think he's very satisfied with you. They even disagreed when the county driver came to propose for the wedding. They must have been waiting for you.”.
“What kind of empty moon are you spouting, Mu Xue? What nonsense is this?”
Mu Xue looked at him stubbornly. “I don't want anyone snatched from me anymore. I probably didn't have it in the first place either. You can go."
“Do not be silly.”
Tang Moling pondered to himself. It seemed like he had indeed paid too much attention to Mu Jingzhe.
Combined with Mu Xue's words, he suddenly realized that Mu Jingzhe had deliberately said those words to attract his attention!
He had experienced this trick before.
“Don't worry, Xiao Xue. I won't notice it anymore. Even if he dies in front of me, I won't see him twice.”
Tang Moling assured Mu Xue and himself.
Elsewhere, Mu Jingzhe made a promise to Xiao Wu, alternating between intimidation and bribery.
“Xiao Wu, try saying. I'll only know if you talk. As long as you say it, I'll promise, okay? ”
Seeing the trumpet player was about to leave, Xiao Wu followed him in a daze. When he saw Mu Jingzhe, he took his hand and pointed towards the trumpet player anxiously.
Mu Jingzhe had guessed that Xiao Wu wanted to listen more and even learn, but he pretended not to know and persuaded her to speak.
Xiao Wu started gesturing in panic but did not say anything.
Mu Jingzhe said regretfully, "If you don't tell me, I won't know what you mean."
Xiao Wu watched as the trumpet player walked further and further. Her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
She is usually submissive, reserved, and adorable, and she won't cry easily. Such a submissive child must be so sad that it almost cries.
However, Mu Jingzhe bit his lips and resisted the urge to soften his heart.
Previously, he had tempted Xiao Wu a lot to make her talk, but in the end, his heart would always soften beyond his will. Therefore, he finally could not force her to speak.
He knew very well that Xiao Wu was very fond of this, so he had to harden his heart and force him to speak.
Maybe he felt bad now, but this would benefit him.
"We'll come back if you don't speak up."
When Mu Jingzhe saw that Xiao Wu was still unwilling to speak, he could not help feeling disappointed and annoyed. He even suspected that he was not doing the right thing.
It had been over two months, and he had taught her so much, yet she still refused to speak.
It's not good if this continues. The longer he spoke, the worse it became. In the end, he might end up like in his previous life and never have the chance to talk.
Xiao Wu was initially distressed, but he then realized that Mu Jingzhe was being excited and looked as if he was feeling bad.
He knew how hard Mu Jingzhe had worked during this period. Seeing him like this made Xiao Wu even more annoyed.
He wanted to comfort Mu Jingzhe, that it was his fault, not his.
In her panic, she opened her mouth and quietly moved it a few times before finally letting out a soft voice.
“Do.”
It was only two words, but it seemed like he needed a lot of effort. Grain of sweat had formed on his forehead.
Mu Jingzhe thought that he had misheard and quickly crouched down to look at him.
“Do not be sad.”
Under Mu Jingzhe's delighted gaze, Xiao Wu finally uttered a complete sentence to reveal what he wanted to say.
He even imitated how Mu Jingzhe used to comfort him and pat him on the shoulder. "I said, don't be sad."
Since he had never spoken before, his voice was actually unpleasant.
But Xiao Wu had spoken.
He has spoken.
Mu Jingzhe, who was overjoyed, raised Xiao Wu.
“Xiao Wu, you've spoken. That's amazing.”
Seeing Mu Jingzhe happy, Xiao Wu finally relaxed. "Speak."
“I kept my promise. Xiao Wu, tell me what you want. I'll approve whatever you say. ”
Xiao Wu's eyes twinkled. "Study."
He made a trumpet blowing gesture and emphasized learning again.
“So Xiao Wu likes trumpets and wants to learn to play them.”
Xiao Wu nodded excitedly. “Mm.”
"Alright, go study then." Mu Jingzhe had to keep his promise.
