Chapter 37 - Inexplicable Visits

After the two of them returned home, they sat on the floor of the entrance, unwilling to get up. Neither of them wanted to talk. Today had been a long day.

After a long while, An Ningyuan got up first, ”I'll use the toilet first, I'm going to take a bath.”

”Yes.” Mu Yi Chu feebly replied before taking off his jacket.

Almost with every movement, he would drop a pile of dirt. Mu Yi Chu looked at the clothes he had taken off his body in disgust. He directly threw it into the trash can. Then, he looked at the chain of ashes that she and An Ningyuan had left behind on the floor, and sighed weakly. Those who didn't know what was going on would think that the two of them had just crawled out from the mound.

By the time the two of them had cleaned themselves up and cleaned up the floor, it was already past 9 PM. The two of them were too lazy to move, so they poured two bowls of instant noodles and went over.

An Ningyuan opened the refrigerator and took out some milk, then poured a cup of bedtime milk for herself and Mu Yi Chu.

”Yes.” It's all right. ”I'm used to it.” An Ningyuan replied indifferently. Although his expression was still ugly, at least he was not considered scary.

”Is that why you can't have children?” Mu Yi Chu took the milk that An Ningyuan passed to him and asked.

”Yes.”

”Talk?” Mu Yi Chu finished the cup of milk in one gulp, licked the milk stains on his lips and said.

”Alright.” After An Ningyuan washed the two cups clean, the two of them went into Mu Yi Chu's room tacitly.

They were lying side by side on the bed, leaning against the headboard, each with a cigarette in his mouth. Smoke is a good thing, like money. One to make himself comfortable, the other to make others happy.

”How did you (today) get there?” Mu Yi Chu and An Ningyuan both smoked their cigarettes in silence for a good while before they simultaneously asked the same question.

They both laughed at the same time.

”Heh, such tacit understanding.” Mu Yi Chu's tone was slightly sarcastic.

They smoked their cigarettes again in silence. Within Swallowing Cloud, the expressions on both of their faces were very unsettled.

”Lady First, you first.” Mu Yi Chu said.

An Ningyuan slowly said after exhaling the smoke silently.

”My divorce was a few years ago, because I couldn't have children.”

When Mu Yi Chu heard An Ningyuan's words, he knew that it was another long story. Why are women always so sloppy in their speech and talking nonsense? He didn't like to hear nonsense, but he knew better than to interrupt her.

Mu Ichu listened to An Ningyuan talking while puffing smoke. When he heard Cinderella, he suddenly had a reaction. The frequency with which this Cinderella was mentioned in An Ningyuan's name was too high, which made Mu Yichu have to pay attention to it.

”She looks a little shy, white, and sweet when she smiles, with my dark hair and eyes. I was very fond of her at the time, and I remember very clearly that she asked me in a not very fluent Chinese, 'Aunt, are you from H City of China?' and when I nodded to her, she threw herself at me. ” An Ningyuan said, his face revealing a gentle smile.

”After that, we kept in touch, ate and ate together, and traveled on short trips, just like all mothers and daughters do. It made me happy. Every time Cinderella calls me ”Aunt,” I feel like I really have a daughter. She asked me a lot about H City. I once asked her why she always talked to me in Chinese. ”

”Her expression went from excited to dull. Tell me, 'She used to come from there.'” She didn't go on, and I didn't ask. ”Because I don't give a damn about her past. I just like her always being around me like that.”

Mu Yi Chu frowned, he was a little uncomfortable, but when he thought about the family relationship that He He Ze sent to him, a question surfaced in his mind.

”One night, she suddenly came to my house. It was raining heavily, and when I opened the door, I saw that she was terrified. Even though she was wearing a raincoat, her hair was still wet. I quickly pulled her into the house and bathed her. When I was shaving her hair, she suddenly turned around and hugged me and sobbed. ”

Mu Yi Chu opened his mouth, but before he could understand the question from before, he was shocked. Who was the one that died now? He was about to blurt it out when he was filled with questions.

Cinderella is Bai Zhongning? No, it's Bai Zhongyi?
