They did all sorts of ridiculous things...
His gaze fell on the smiling man, and Mu Nancheng bit his lower lip, saying fiercely, "In short, you must keep all of this to yourself! Don't mention it to anyone! Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Mu Nancheng hadn't yet become the ruthless person he would become; he already knew what it meant to repay kindness.
All the harsh words swirled in his mind, but what finally came out of his mouth was: "Otherwise, when I get back to the Mu family, I won't give you any money."
"Pfft..." Yu Tang finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha, what kind of bullshit threat is that!"
Xiao Jin burst out laughing: [That's so intimidating!]
"why are you laughing!"
Yu Tang laughed heartily: "I'm laughing at you for thinking you can shut me up with money."
Mu Nancheng frowned and said, "Don't you poor people all want money? If you have money, you can do anything, right?"
Having lived in the Mu family since childhood, he understood one principle: money makes the world go round.
Money can do so many things.
No one can resist the temptation of money.
If his mother had been rich, she wouldn't have ended up like that.
“You brat…” Yu Tang wrapped the blanket tighter around himself, smiling as he looked at Mu Nancheng, but his voice was very serious: “Money is never everything.”
"I'm nice to you because I find you both pitiful and adorable, even though you're a bit silly."
"I'm only helping you because of you."
"These experiences that you disliked are all beautiful memories for me."
"Don't worry, I'm not so bored as to expose your actions to the public."
"I will continue to help you in the future, and I won't charge you a single penny."
"So, don't always keep a straight face. Try to let your guard down and treat me like a friend."
"This is good for you and for me."
After saying that, Yu Tang stretched out a hand from under the covers and looked at Mu Nancheng, saying, "If you think it's acceptable, shake my hand. From now on, we'll be friends."
Mu Nancheng was slightly taken aback, and it seemed as if fragmented images appeared in his mind.
A man with a warm smile stood at the classroom door and said to him: "If you want to make friends, shake hands with them."
The boy pursed his lips tightly.
His eyes were fixed on Yu Tang's hand.
It took a long time before he stood up and walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
He placed his hand on hers, and said coldly, "Stop pretending to be high and mighty."
He touched the money with his finger and then pulled away, muttering, "I'll stuff the money into your hand when the time comes, and I don't believe you'll refuse it."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jin prompted Yu Tang: [Host, favorability increased by 10! Mu Nancheng's favorability is now at 10!]
Yu Tang: This arrogant jerk.
Chapter 15
Died for the villain for the eighth time (15)
Mu Nancheng, who has regained his memories, is actually not difficult to get along with.
But Yu Tang still discovered that this child had typical ideological problems.
Although extremely intelligent, he was cunning and scheming in business, single-mindedly focused on taking over the Mu family sooner or later. He believed that by then he would be an untouchable tycoon who could do whatever he wanted and use his wealth to buy anything he desired.
Both their moral and legal bottom lines are extremely low.
Furthermore, Mu Nancheng's age is precisely the time when his emotions and values are particularly unstable.
Yu Tang could guess with his toes that this kid's life in the Mu family must not have been good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned out like this.
Therefore, Yu Tang had no right to condemn him, but could only subtly teach him through their interactions that some things were acceptable and some things were not.
But sometimes, he would be left speechless by Mu Nancheng's questions.
Because Mu Nancheng would say that Mu Zehai did the same thing back then, so why can't he do the same thing?
"He is him, and you are you." Yu Tang could only tell him, "Do you want to become like the bastard in your heart?"
Mu Nancheng's expression stiffened, and two seconds later, he glared at Yu Tang fiercely: "This is none of your business."
However, for a period of time afterward, Yu Tang would see Mu Nancheng sitting by the stove at the table, deep in thought, looking at the book in his hand.
He had already learned this knowledge, and his actions at this moment were all to cover up his unnatural emotions.
He didn't tell Yu Tang that at night, in his dreams, he would vaguely recall the things the other person had said about the foolish things he had done.
It seems that the blow only temporarily caused him to lose his memory of that period, and he will gradually recover while waiting for his injury to heal.
The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel.
But after the embarrassment subsided, when he carefully reflected on his life during that period, Mu Nancheng felt a strange sense of envy.
I envy that carefree version of myself.
You can do whatever you want, according to your own ideas.
He was far away from that home, away from those hateful people, and he had real friends by his side, and... this man named Yu Tang who doted on him...
To put it bluntly, Mu Nancheng was just a boy who lacked love since childhood. Faced with a man who treated him sincerely, even if he was indifferent, he would inevitably waver.
But then he remembered what Yu Tang had once told him.
I'm nice to you because I find you both pitiful and adorable, even though you're a bit silly.
I'm only helping you because of you.
My heart is inexplicably stabbing, and my throat feels dry.
The care she now receives from men is only because that fool, Yu Tang, has taken pity on her.
In Yu Tang's eyes, he is now nothing more than a troublesome person full of flaws and thorns.
A strange feeling welled up inside me.
It's jealousy...
And anger.
His fingers gripped the pencil so tightly they turned white. It wasn't until the pencil tip snapped that Mu Nancheng snapped out of his daze.
Realizing his absurd idea, the boy was first taken aback, then became annoyed.
What exactly is he envious of and jealous of?!
He doesn't need anyone's affection at all!
That would make him weak! Make him lack the courage to face the difficulties ahead!
After all, once Mu Zehai discovers that he is not dead, he will definitely not let it go. If he cannot fight back, he will be played to death by the other party sooner or later!
Mu Nancheng stood up abruptly, not looking at Yu Tang, and said as he walked out, "It's too stuffy in the room, I'm going out for a walk."
Yu Tang was sewing a quilt cover when she heard this. She paused for a moment and subconsciously said, "It's cold outside. Wear more clothes. I'm going to make dinner soon, so come back early."
These few ordinary words of advice made Mu Nancheng pause abruptly.
The boy, with his back to Yu Tang, clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it, replying to Yu Tang as calmly as possible, "I understand..."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Yu Tang was a little confused.
Mu Nancheng has had his memories restored for almost a month now, and during this time the kid has been quite arrogant.
In the past, when I heard him say things like that, I would instinctively retort: "Mind your own business!"
Why are you so good-tempered this time?
In response to his question, Xiao Jin promptly notified him: [Host! Mu Nancheng's favorability +10! It's now at 40!]
Yu Tang: I thought it would be hard to gain his favorability because he seemed so cold before. But now it seems like the opposite is true.
"Well..." Xiao Jin thought for a while and said: "Host, do you think it's possible that he's actually slowly recovering his memories of when he was a fool?"
So, even though he seemed arrogant on the surface, he actually knew you genuinely cared about him during this time?
Yu Tang: That possibility cannot be ruled out.
After saying that, he shook his head and laughed, "Who cares? As long as I have time, this kid is destined to fall for me. It's just a matter of time."
[Haha, host, compared to the first world, you've completely transformed! You've become a seasoned player in the game of love!]
Yu Tang: You can't say it like that.
A smile bloomed on her lips as Yu Tang corrected Xiao Jin: "I'm a seasoned player in love with him, but I wouldn't do that with anyone else."
Ugh, I'm so jealous!
Mu Nancheng walked out of the courtyard and strolled around Sanyu Village.
He walked with his hands in his pockets, head down, kicking pebbles along the road.
Past memories slowly surfaced in my mind along with this slightly childish action.
Yu Tang did not lie to him.
On this dirt road, he did indeed chase after several large white geese, making quacking noises in their wake.
The child next to him clapped his hands and laughed, calling him a fool.
But Yu Tang told the child very seriously that he was not stupid, that he was just communicating with the white goose, and that he had this ability, which was better than anyone else's.
The child actually believed it and even came to him to ask what the white goose had said.
Thinking this, Mu Nancheng didn't even realize that the corners of his lips were unconsciously turning up.
