My Husband with Scholar’s

Syndrome
我的学者综合症老公[重生]

Mu Xiaoya lived for twenty-six years before she knew that she had
a sudden genetic disease. There was no medicine for it, and there
was only death waiting for her.

Before she died, many people came to see her, but she was most
impressed by Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan was her neighbor, an autistic child with scholar’s

syndrome. At that time, his face full of scars was desperate: “I – I
studied all your medical records, but I have no way to save you.”

Mu Xiaoya was stunned: “You are a doctor?”

Bai Chuan: “I am not… …”

Mu Xiaoya’s disease was a genetic disease. Unless the gene was

changed, there was no possibility of cure. However, Bai Chuan was
the only person who tried to cure her after she fell ill.

Mu Xiaoya: “Why are you going to cure me?”

Bai Chuan: “I want to marry you.”

Mu Xiaoya laughed: “If you marry me, you will soon become a
widower.”

Bai Chuan insisted: “I – I want to marry you.”

Bai Chuan, who has cognitive impairments, can’t express his

meaning very well, and can only repeat it over and over again.

Later, Mu Xiaoya still died. When she woke up, she returned to the
summer of her college graduation.

Bai Chuan: “I… I want to marry you.”

Mu Xiaoya: “Good.”

The starlight in the eyes of Bai Chuan was the most beautiful
scenery that Mu Xiaoya had ever seen in her life.

Rebirth

　　Mu Xiaoya was going to die. To be exact, ten days ago, she
clearly felt that she was getting closer to death.

　　Ten days ago, she returned home to visit her relatives and just
left the airport, she fainted on the side of the road and caused a lot
of panic. Fortunately, the airport’s rescue measures were proper, and
she was quickly sent to the hospital.

　　When she woke up, her family had already been contacted.
She didn’t need to ask any questions. She looked at her parents’ red
and swollen eyes, she knew and was afraid that she was sick this
time. Otherwise, her parents who had always been stable wouldn’t
have been emotional. Mu Xiaoya wanted to ask, but she didn’t have
the strength to open her mouth.

　　Then, she fainted again, the whole person was in a coma and
continuously woke up and fell asleep. Every time it occurred, she got
weaker and weaker, and there were more and more medical
instruments besides her bed.

　　By the time she was in better shape, she had already entered

www.asianovel.com
 3 Report
the ICU twice and a week had passed. It was not until then that they
found out what was wrong with her.

　　“Miss Mu, you have a very rare hereditary disease.” The doctor
said sympathetically, “This genetic disease was sudden and has a
low probability of occurrence. Before the onset, there was no physical
abnormalities, but once the onset occurred, the body will rapidly
deteriorate.”

　　“Then…can it be cured?” After Mu Xiaoya asked, the Mu

mother on one side couldn’t help but sob. Now, without the doctor’s
answer, Mu Xiaoya could guess.

　　“Sorry, there is no cure for this disease.” The doctor lamented.

　　“I see.” Mu Xiaoya’s reaction was calm. She was in a coma for
the past week and wasn’t completely conscious. As the owner of her
body, she clearly understood her body’s changes, so she was already
mentally prepared. “How much time do I have left?”

　　“Your organs have begun to fail. According to this speed,

optimistically, maybe…five days.” Those five days, the doctors used
all different kinds of famous and valuable medicines. Even if Mu
Xiaoya could only live one day more.

　　Since she was destined to die, Mu Xiaoya didn’t want her

parents to waste money on her, but she also knew that this was the
last thing her parents could do for her. If they stopped, they would
only be more sad after she was gone.

　　For the next five days, in addition to comforting her parents,

Mu Xiaoya received visitors. All the relatives she didn’t know and had
close blood relations with her family had visited her at the hospital. It
was the same pity and sympathy towards her, Mu Xiaoya was numb.

　　Until the fourth day, Mu Xiaoya was suddenly spirited. This

sudden burst of energy made her thought bad things: her life

www.asianovel.com
 4 Report
flashing before her eyes.

　　Can’t she live to the fifth day?

　　The weak Mu Xiaoya finally had the strength to move, she

propped herself up on the bed to sit up, laboriously opened the
drawer at the bedside to retrieve her cellphone. The cellphone was
out of batteries for a long time. Mu Xiaoya pressed the button at the
bedside to call a nurse: “Hello, do you have a charger that I can
borrow?”

　　“I’ll get you a power bank.” The socket on the bedside was
filled with all kinds of instruments and there was no space to charge
Mu Xiaoya’s cellphone. Moreover, the doctor had already explained
that the patient in this ward may die at any time, so the little nurse
had contributed her own power bank so this girl, who was almost her
age, could quickly use her cellphone.

　　It was connected to the power bank and the phone turned on
automatically within moments. Then, prompts continuously sounded.
There were countless phone calls, WeChat messages and emails that
bombarded her cellphone.

　　Mu Xiaoya slowly checked and found that half the prompts
were from work and the other half from her two best friends. She
didn’t read the prompts from work and just opened the message sent
by her two friends.

　　Fang Hui: Xiaoya, what are you doing? Did you go into
seclusion to write, ah, how come I haven’t seen people for several
days? Why don’t you return my calls?

　　Liang Nuonuo: Xiaoya, when are you returning? When you

return, remember to come and play with me, ah. Now the entire
mountain is red and full of cherries, I’m inviting you to come and eat.

www.asianovel.com
 5 Report
　　Yes, she had always promised Nuonuo that she would go see
her. But she didn’t have time to go before, now she was afraid that
she wouldn’t be able to anymore. With a wry smile, Mu Xiaoya was
about to say goodbye to her two girlfriends.

　　“Bang!”

　　Suddenly, the door to the ward was violently pushed open and
a man burst in. Behind him was a nurse that anxiously dissuade him:
“Sir, what are you doing? This is a ward, you can’t be disruptive.”

　　The intruder ignored the nurse, he held a stack of materials in

his hands and stared at Mu Xiaoya on the hospital bed. The nurse
pulled on him, but he neither explained nor left.

　　Mu Xiaoya stared at the man who suddenly appeared in her

ward. The man wore a hat and mask which covered his face tightly
and only showed a pair of eyes. This didn’t look like a good person.
But it was strange that Mu Xiaoya felt that his eyes were familiar and
seemed to have seen it from somewhere.

　　The nurse’s movements were getting bigger and bigger, the

man was flustered and hurriedly dodged, but she pulled the man’s
hat off and exposed a mottled scar on his ear. The scar covered a
large area, it extended from the back of his ear to the bottom of the
mask, and then from under the mask into his collar. The skin and
flesh were crisscrossed and looked horrible. The nurse was startled
and unconsciously stopped pulling.

　　“Bai Chuan?” Mu Xiaoya recognized the man.

　　When he heard his name, the man’s eyes brightened, and he

still stared at Mu Xiaoya without saying a word.

　　“Miss nurse, this is my friend.” Mu Xiaoya recognized the

person and explained to the nurse.

　　“Your friend? Why didn’t he say?” The nurse was a little angry,

www.asianovel.com
 6 Report
she had asked him for a long time, but he didn’t say a word. She
almost thought that he was a mute.

　　“Sorry.” Mu Xiaoya quickly apologized. She knew Bai Chuan’s

abnormality, but others didn’t know. Bai Chuan was her neighbor, an
autistic child with scholar syndrome. He lived with his grandmother
since he was a child. Only four years ago, when grandma Bai died,
Bai Chuan left the faculty dormitory and never saw him again.

　　“Bai Chuan, why are you here?” Mu Xiaoya whispered slowly

and softly.

　　“I, I studied all your medical records, but I have no way to save
you.” Bai Chuan’s scarred face was full of anxiety. His arms shook,
along with her medical records. He stammered when he spoke, and
the preface didn’t match the dialect.

　　Mu Xiaoya was a little surprised: “Are you a doctor?”

　　“I’m not.” Bai Chuan shook his head angrily. For the first time,
he had strong remorse. Why didn’t he study medicine in the
beginning? Grandma said he was a genius, so if he studied medicine,
there would have been a way to cure Mu Xiaoya.

　　Mu Xiaoya’s disease was a sudden genetic disease and it

wasn’t possible to cure it unless the gene was changed. But Bai
Chuan was the only one who tried to cure her after she got sick.

　　Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but wonder, “Why do you want to

cure me?” She asked herself, the relationship between Bai Chuan
and herself didn’t seem particularly special.

　　Bai Chuan: “I want to marry you.”

　　These five simple words directly brought Mu Xiaoya back to a

memory she had almost forgotten. The last time she saw Bai Chuan,
it seemed that he was proposing to her.

www.asianovel.com
 7 Report
　　Bai Chuan: “My grandma is dying, she wants me to get
married, I…I want to marry you.”

　　That day, when she just came out of her house, Bai Chuan
directly came over right away and said something like this. At that
time, she didn’t remember how she replied, but she refused. Luckily,
she had refused, if she didn’t, Bai Chuan would become a widower
now.

　　So, she smiled and joked, “If you married me, you would have
soon become a widower.”

　　“I want to marry you.” Bai Chuan with cognitive impairment

couldn’t express his meaning well. He could only repeat it over and
over again.

　　Bai Chuan’s determination shocked Mu Xiaoya. Didn’t he know

the meaning of death, or did he really like her?

　　She was faced with Bai Chuan’s simple eyes, Mu Xiaoya tried
hard to make her smile look better. She knew that now she looked
very bad, but she wanted to smile and thank Bai Chuan, the young
man who had proposed at her door four years ago.

　　“Thank you.” Even though she still couldn’t promise him this
time.

　　“I…”

　　”Xiao Chuan?!” At this time, a man in a western styled elite

suit rushed in. As soon as he entered, he nervously grabbed Bai
Chuan and examined him from top to bottom. “Are you okay? Why
did you run out alone?”

　　Bai Chuan ignored the man and tried to break free from the
man’s arm to continue his talk with Mu Xiaoya.

　　“Miss Mu, I’m sorry that my brother has disturbed you.” After

www.asianovel.com
 8 Report
he made sure that Bai Chuan was fine, the man then had time for Mu
Xiaoya.

　　“It’s okay.” It turned out to be Bai Chuan’s older brother. No

wonder he looked like Bai Chuan before the burn.

　　“Then you have a good rest, we will go first, I wish you…” The
man paused. “Have a good rest.”

　　After he finished, the man picked up the hat that fell onto the
ground and placed it on his younger brother’s head, he ignored Bai
Chuan’s struggle and took him away forcibly. However, due to Bai
Chuan’s fierce struggle, the information from his hand fell and went
flying all over the place.

　　The nurse entered after Bai Chuan left, mumbled two

sentences, picked up the scattered paper from the ground. Mu
Xiaoya asked for the paper and looked at it twice and found that it
was full of her own medical records and some information. The other
information was densely filled with notes and it was estimated that
there were hundreds of them in a thick stack.

　　Mu Xiaoya smiled weakly and was moved. She placed the
materials from her hand onto her lap neatly, then picked up her
cellphone again, placed Fang Hui and Liang Nuonuo into a group chat
and was ready to say goodbye to them.

　　Mu Xiaoya originally wanted to do a videocall, but when she

finished thinking, her energy suddenly begun to dissipate. Mu Xiaoya
knew that she didn’t have much time left. She gave up on the video
plan and just sent a voice clip to the group chat: “Fang Hui, Nuonuo,
I’ll be gone. Don’t be too sad. If you have time, go see my parents for
me.”

　　She released her finger and the voice message was sent, the
cellphone also fell from Mu Xiaoya’s hand, along with the pile of
papers on her lap onto the ground.

www.asianovel.com
 9 Report
　　The cellphone buzzed. Someone was calling, but Mu Xiaoya
had no strength to answer. A sudden force took away her entire
body’s strength. Then, her vision gradually blurred.

　　As she died, she heard her parents shouting. Her mother held
her hand and called her name over and over again.

　　Mom, Dad, I’m sorry.

　　If I can return, I definitely won’t study abroad after graduation.

I will stay with you for a few more years.

　　Mu Xiaoya’s final consciousness disappeared into a dazzling

white light, and when she regained her consciousness, she returned
to the summer from four years ago.

　　The day that Bai Chuan proposed to her.

Proposal

　　　Mu Xiaoya clearly remembered that she had died and the
scene before her death was still vivid.

　　Her cellphone kept ringing, the medical records were scattered

all over the place, the medical staff rushed in, and her parents cried
sadly. How could she be lying in her own room as soon as she
opened her eyes?

　　Creamy curtains, goose-yellow walls, pink sofas, black and

white patterned floors. All of these decorations were from before she
had gone abroad. After she went abroad, her parents changed the
decoration at once. Her room no longer had the previous patterned
floor but was replaced with wood flooring with heating installed
underneath the floors.

　　Mu Xiaoya suddenly opened her quilt and ran to the dressing
mirror in the room.

　　In the mirror, Mu Xiaoya had shoulder-length hair, because she

had just woken up, her hair was a bit messy and she was still wearing
childish cartoon pajamas.

　　This wasn’t right!

　　Mu Xiaoya studied abroad for two years, then found a job at a
local company. In order to make her image more mature, she
changed her hair style before starting her job with her hair much
longer than it was now.

www.asianovel.com
 11 Report
　　This wasn’t who she was now, but who she was a few years
ago.

　　“Ding ling ling…”

　　A dull ringtone rang, Mu Xiaoya lifted the quilt, skillfully found
her cellphone, then picked up the outdated cellphone which wasn’t
familiar to her.

　　“Mu Xiaoya, are you still sleeping? Did you forget about our
graduation photos today?” Fang Hui’s voice sounded from the phone.

　　“Fang Hui?” Mu Xiaoya was a little surprised. “Graduation

photo?”

　　“I knew you had forgotten. Our class will be taking pictures at
11 o’clock. Now, you should immediately call for a taxi.” After she
spoke, Fang Hui fiercely hung up the phone.

　　Graduation photo? Mu Xiaoya was incredulous. Today was the

day to take graduation photos, wasn’t it on June 2019? Mu Xiaoya
turned her head to look at the calendar. Sure enough, the bedside
calendar showed that today was June 12, 2019. There were also
words marked graduation photos by her own handwriting.

　　If she wasn’t dreaming, could she see her former classmates
and take another graduation picture once she arrives at the school?

　　That’s right, just go to school and have a look. If what

happened was the same as she remembered, it meant that she
wasn’t dreaming. Was she really back?

　　Mu Xiaoya ran to the door excitedly, but she didn’t even think
of changing her pajamas. Wearing slippers, she ran out with her
cellphone and disheveled hair. Unexpectedly, she ran into Bai Chuan
as soon as she left.

　　“Bai Chuan?!” Mu Xiaoya cried out in surprise. She stood in

www.asianovel.com
 12 Report
front of Bai Chuan and there was no scar on his face, which was
completely different from the one she had met in the hospital.

　　“I …” In fact, Bai Chuan had stood at the door for a long time.
He stood conflicted, he was too afraid to enter or leave. He had been
expecting Mu Xiaoya to leave. But now that people were out, he
didn’t know what to say. He lowered his head uneasily and looked at
his toes.

　　“What can I do for you?” Mu Xiaoya’s voice was very light,

which was a habit she had formed from talking with Bai Chuan. When
Bai Chuan was seven years old, his parents sent him back to live with
his grandmother. Because grandma Bai’s house was close to the
Mu’s, Mu Xiaoya often saw Bai Chuan. Additionally, there were not
many children in the area. When she was a child, Mu Xiaoya often
went to play with Bai Chuan. However, Bai Chuan didn’t pay much
attention to her. He was always immersed in his own world, which
made Mu Xiaoya frustrated and angry. It wasn’t until grandma Bai
explained Bai Chuan’s difference that Mu Xiaoya understood.

　　Also because of this, as long as Mu Xiaoya talked to Bai Chuan,

her tone would be like grandma Bai, gentle, delicate and patient.
Over time, little Bai Chuan finally was willing to pay attention to her.

　　Bai Chuan: “My grandma is dying. She wants me to get

married. I…I want to marry you.”

　　Mu Xiaoya’s eyes widened in surprise. Today?

　　Yes, it was today.

　　Today was the day Bai Chuan proposed to her.

　　“I… I want to marry you.” Bai Chuan repeated again. He was

usually very reluctant to talk, but his grandma taught him since he
was a child. If he wanted to let the other person know what he
meant, he must say it.

www.asianovel.com
 13 Report
　　So, she went back in time. She really went back to four years
ago and encountered Bai Chuan’s proposal again?

　　Would she accept this time?

　　Mu Xiaoya looked at Bai Chuan who stood in front of her. Bai
Chuan was almost the same age as her, but maybe because he often
was in his own world, he still had the aura of pure youth. He wore a
pure white T-shirt, casual cotton pants, white shoes and his delicate
facial features was like a porcelain doll. He stood in front of the
courtyard and was glowing all over. Mu Xiaoya bet that if he wasn’t
autistic, then Bai Chuan would definitely become a boy who would
have bewitched thousands of girls.

　　It’s a pity that such a handsome face was burned later on.

　　Mu Xiaoya could still clearly remember the face she saw in the
ward, even if he wore a mask and she couldn’t see at all, she felt her
shock inside. How big was the fire that burned a person to that
extent?

　　“Xiaoya, do you still remember Bai Chuan from grandma Bai’s

home?” One year after the Spring Festival, she returned home, and
her mother suddenly talked about Bai Chuan.

　　“Bai Chuan, what’s wrong with him?”

　　“I heard that he was burned, and the fire was set by his wife.”

　　“Don’t blindly talk, the fire was caused at home. His wife didn’t
know that Bai Chuan was home.” Her father frowned.

　　“A husband not home, how could a wife not know.” Mother Mu
said, “Outside it’s said that this woman was greedy for the Bai’s
family property. She didn’t hesitate to marry Bai Chuan who was
autistic. As a result, she couldn’t stand Bai Chuan’s autism after
marriage. She wanted to burn Bai Chuan to inherit his heritage.”

www.asianovel.com
 14 Report
　　“Don’t talk such nonsense without evidence.” Father Mu didn’t
want his wife to spread bad gossip, but said to his daughter, “You
used to have a good relationship with Bai Chuan before. Go see him
when you have time.”

　　Later, Mu Xiaoya went to the Bai family to see Bai Chuan, but
she didn’t see anyone, only Bai Chuan’s father. He told her that Bai
Chuan was sent abroad for treatment. Later, Mu Xiaoya went abroad
to study, then stayed abroad to work. She didn’t see Bai Chuan again
until she was dying.

　　“I want to marry you.” In front of her, Bai Chuan still repeated
his demands.

　　“Why do you want to marry me?” Mu Xiaoya asked curiously.

Bai Chuan’s situation was very special. He was autistic. Although
grandma Bai carefully taught him, Bai Chuan’s performance was
much better than other autistic patients. He could communicate with
people smoothly as long as he wanted. But Bai Chuan, who still had a
personality defect and cognitive impairment, did he understood what
he meant?

　　“Grandma said, everyone… will have a partner, partner… if

you… like someone.” Bai Chuan seriously said, but his sentence was
too long. He rumbled on, “Grandma’s dream, was for me to get
married and have a partner. Grandma is dying. I want to marry you.”

　　Because grandma Bai was dying, and her biggest wish was for
him to get married and have a partner to accompany him, and you
like me, so you came here to propose to me?

　　Bai Chuan’s rumbling was very bad, but Mu Xiaoya

understood. She looked at Bai Chuan’s earnest eyes and suddenly
wanted to agree.

　　If the scene in the hospital wasn’t a dream, if she really did

www.asianovel.com
 15 Report
return to four years ago, then four years later she would still get sick
and die. If you ask someone who knows that they won’t live long,
would they still marry and have children? Others don’t know, but Mu
Xiaoya won’t, she will only spend the rest of her time with her
parents.

　　But Bai Chuan wasn’t the same. Bai Chuan didn’t mind her
death. He was the only one who said that he wanted to marry her at
the hospital even though he knew she was going to die soon.

　　Mu Xiaoya’s eyes suddenly flashed and recalled the scattered

medical records, as well as the dense notes on the medical records,
and Bai Chuan’s panic while he struggled with his elder brother who
took him away.

　　Bai Chuan should really like her, right? Mu Xiaoya thought, if

she was destined to live for another four years, why shouldn’t she
marry Bai Chuan? Let him avoid the tragedy of his previous life as
thanks for the scattered medical records from her previous life.

　　“Okay.” Mu Xiaoya agreed, almost impulsively.

　　Bai Chuan’s eyes widened, and there were 10,000 stars that
converged within his eyes, as if the stars shone in his eyes until it
was dyed into a bright starry sky.

　　That was the most beautiful scenery Mu Xiaoya has ever seen
in her two lives.

　　Bai Chuan was really good-looking, ah, Mu Xiaoya sighed. Even

for this face, she would marry him. By all means, she can’t let that
big fire wreck it, ah.

　　“Go!” Bai Chuan was excited and grabbed Mu Xiaoya’s hand.

His strength was very strong. Suddenly, Mu Xiaoya was dragged, she
was stunned and almost failed to stand up, half her slippers flew off.
However, it was this action that made Mu Xiaoya realized that she

www.asianovel.com
 16 Report
was still wearing her pajamas.

　　“Where to?”

　　“Hospital, find grandma.”

　　“I need to change first.”

　　Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya in wonder, as if he didn’t

understand why she had to go change her clothes.

　　“I’m wearing pajamas. It’s not good to go out like this.” Mu

Xiaoya patiently explained, then held Bai Chuan’s hand to drag him
into her home. She left Bai Chuan in the living room and went back to
her bedroom to change her clothes. Then, they went to the hospital
by car.

　　When the car arrived at the hospital, Fang Hui called again
and Mu Xiaoya picked up, the other party immediately scolded: “Mu
Xiaoya, where did you died? I called you an hour ago, but you still
hadn’t arrived, the whole class is waiting for you.”

　　“I’m sorry, sorry.” Mu Xiaoya really forgot about it, but what
was more important, grandma Bai or the graduation photos? And she
was already at the hospital door, it was impossible to run to school
and take graduation photos.

　　“Fang Hui, you apologize to everyone for me. I can’t go today,

take your own pictures.” Although she had some regrets, but she had
no other choice.

　　“What?! You better give me a reason. What’s more important

than taking graduation photos?” Fang Hui was clearly angry.

　　“I’m getting married!” Mu Xiaoya threw the bomb.

　　Mu Xiaoya’s words was like a switch, which activated the robot
Bai Chuan’s mode with a click. Although Bai Chuan didn’t have much

www.asianovel.com
 17 Report
of an expression, his unwavering eyes suddenly overflowed with the
gleaming reflection of waves in the sunlight.

　　“Wo Cao1!” In addition to these two words, Fang Hui had no

idea what adjectives to use to describe her mood at this time.

　　“I’ll bring you xi tang2 tomorrow, ah.” After that, she didn’t
wait for Fang Hui’s reaction, Mu Xiaoya hung up the phone, took Bai
Chuan’s hand and walked to the hospital building.

　　Bai Chuan quietly followed behind her, his eyes stared at Mu

Xiaoya’s back.

　　“What floor is grandma on?” Until they were in the elevator,

Mu Xiaoya asked Bai Chuan.

　　Bai Chuan silently pressed the button to the top floor.

　　The elevator started and slowly rose. Bai Chuan looked at the
palm of his hand which was released by Mu Xiaoya. His palm wasn’t
adapted to the emptiness and he clenched his hand a few times.

　　When the elevator was halfway up, Mu Xiaoya suddenly cried

out: “How can I come empty-handed?” When she came to visit, she
forgot to buy a gift and Mu Xiaoya frowned regretfully.

　　At this time, Bai Chuan silently placed his hand on the palm of
Mu Xiaoya’s hand and held it, he said: “Not empty-handed.”

　　Mu Xiaoya looked at her right hand, which was suddenly “not
empty”, and a strange thought rose in her heart: Did Bai Chuan
really felt that it wasn’t empty?

　　At this moment, Bai Chuan stared at the floor number on the
elevator that constantly changed, and his mood finally calmed down.

Marriage

　In order to avoid wasting Bai Chuan’s “considerate” thought, Mu

Xiaoya let Bai Chuan take the lead and never let go the entire time.

　　After a while, the elevator reached the top floor, right when
they prepared to go out, someone rushed in before them. Suddenly,
Bai Chuan was startled, took a step back in a panic.

　　Bai Chuan was a person with autism. He didn’t like to have

physical contact with others, so he was afraid of small spaces or
crowded places since he was young. Just from taking the elevator
now, whenever someone entered, he would tense up. At this time, he
almost ran into someone and even hurriedly dodged. Mu Xiaoya
noticed and quickly stepped forward to stand in between the two
people, then comforted Bai Chuan: “It’s okay, let’s go out.”

　　“I’m sorry, sorry, I just…” At this time, the visitor also

discovered there were others in the elevator. He realized his
recklessness and apologized. When he looked up and saw who was in
the elevator, his apologetic expression turned into surprise. “Little
two, you’re back.”

　　People were excited and pulled Bai Chuan’s arm. Bai Chuan
pursed his lips and his body shrank back. Mu Xiaoya hurriedly raised
her hand and blocked the person’s movement: “I’m sorry, he doesn’t
like when others touch him.”

　　“Ah, yes, sorry, sorry, I almost forgot.” The man obviously

knew Bai Chuan, so naturally he knew that Bai Chuan was special. He

www.asianovel.com
 20 Report
didn’t take any further action and stepped out of the elevator first to
let the two people exit. “Little two, you just returned. Both the
chairman and his wife are anxious. The general manager went out
looking for you for a long time.”

　　Mu Xiaoya froze slightly, she listened to this person’s meaning,

did Bai Chuan snuck out alone? Bai Chuan’s family didn’t know?

　　“Chairman, little two is back.” When they stepped out of the

elevator, the man ran to report the news.

　　“You didn’t tell your family?” Mu Xiaoya asked Bai Chuan.

　　Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya and didn’t speak.

　　Forget it, I don’t think he understood. Mu Xiaoya sighed and

said, “Let’s go see grandma.”

　　The two walked forward together, they didn’t walk for long
until an elegant woman rushed out from one of the wards. Mu Xiaoya
recognized this woman as Bai Chuan’s mother. At Chinese New Year,
Mu Xiaoya often saw her in grandma Bai’s yard.

　　“Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan, where have you been?” Bai Chuan
suddenly disappeared, and mother Bai was worried. She sent a group
of people out to search for him, but they returned with no news. At
this time, she saw her son returned and was so overjoyed that she
wanted to go up and hold him tightly in her arms. But she knew her
son’s condition, he didn’t like physical contact, so she could only
restrain herself.

　　However, when she managed to control her emotions, she

found her little son, who wouldn’t be easily touch by his family, was
obediently letting a woman hold hands.

　　This is…what happened?

　　“Auntie.” Mu Xiaoya called out as she approached.

 21 Report
　　“Mu Xiaoya?” Mother Bai recognized Mu Xiaoya. Although they
didn’t have much contact, her mother-in-law always mentioned a girl
named Mu Xiaoya from her neighbor’s house when she called to talk
to the husband and wife about Bai Chuan’s life. During Chinese New
Year, Mu Xiaoya came to pay a new year’s visit and they had also
met several times.

　　“I heard from Bai Chuan that grandma Bai is sick.” Mu Xiaoya
said.

　　“You’re here to see grandma, come here, come in quickly.”

　　Mu Xiaoya led Bai Chuan to the ward. At the door, she met Bai
Chuan’s father, Bai Guoyu: “Uncle Bai.”

　　Bai Guoyu nodded faintly and looked tired. He looked at his

little son and was about to speak, when an old and weak voice came
from inside the door in a timely manner: “Is Xiao Chuan back?”

　　Bai Chuan heard his grandmother’s voice, and his emotions

were activated again. He took Mu Xiaoya’s hand and hurried in,
ignoring his old father who had something to say at the door.

　　“…” Well, the old father was used to being disregarded like
this.

　　Bai Chuan took Mu Xiaoya to the hospital bed and called out
grandma. After he called out, he quietly stood still.

　　“Grandma Bai.” Mu Xiaoya also called out.

　　Grandma Bai’s complexion looked okay despite her weak

voice. First, she looked at her grandson, then her eyes followed her
grandson’s right hand and fell on Mu Xiaoya. She smiled amiably:
“Xiaoya, did you come to visit grandma?”

　　“Grandma, are you better?” Mu Xiaoya asked with concern.

www.asianovel.com
 22 Report
　　“I won’t get better, I am old, this is the natural law.” Grandma
Bai smiled broadly. She was 89 this year and was very satisfied that
she lived to this age.

　　“Grandma…” Although she knew that it was the natural law to

be born, age and die, Mu Xiaoya’s heart was full of bitterness when
she sees such a kind and amiable old person about to pass away.

　　“Did you found Xiao Chuan and brought him back?” The old
person obviously didn’t want to talk about her health.

　　“No.” Mu Xiaoya shook her head. “It was Bai Chuan who went
to find me.”

　　“Xiao Chuan went to find you?” Grandma Bai looked at Bai

Chuan with surprise. “Xiao Chuan, did you left to look for Xiaoya?”

　　“En, we are going to get married.” Bai Chuan happily said and
was eager to announce it.

　　Bai Guoyu and his wife Li Rong were shocked when they heard
this. They looked at each other subconsciously, and both saw the
incredulous expression on each other’s face.

　　Only grandma Bai looked at Mu Xiaoya after being briefly

surprised and verified, “Xiaoya, is what Xiao Chuan said true?”

　　At the same time, Mu Xiaoya was a little embarrassed.

Although she agreed to Bai Chuan’s proposal, she was still
uncomfortable when directly asked by the elder. After all, they didn’t
have a relationship before and went to see the elders directly. In
addition, Bai Chuan was a person with no capacity for civil conduct.
She looked like a person who had abducted their son, even though
he was the one who proposed.

　　Mu Xiaoya’s silence made Bai Chuan puzzled. He didn’t

understand why Mu Xiaoya didn’t answer grandma’s words, did she
regret it? A sense of anxiety pervaded Bai Chuan’s heart.

www.asianovel.com
 23 Report
Unconsciously, Bai Chuan’s forehead began to sweat, and he held Mu
Xiaoya’s hand more and more tightly.

　　When the Bai family saw, suddenly they were all nervous and
alert. Outsiders may not know, but this was a precursor of Bai
Chuan’s onset. When Bai Chuan was calm, he was a quiet child, but
once he onsets, he will become manic and restless, constantly
smashing things around him. In severe cases, he would even slam his
head against the wall.

　　“It’s true.” After a brief period of embarrassment, Mu Xiaoya,

who adjusted her emotions, responded generously. “I and Bai
Chuan…we are going to get married.”

　　Bai Chuan’s emotions was suddenly relaxed and his brows

calmed down again.

　　“Huu~~” At the same time, the Bai family’s parents were

relieved. Just now, they were ready to restrain someone and call a
doctor.

　　“Really?!” Grandma Bai trembled and held out her hand to Mu

Xiaoya. When she noticed, she took the initiative to reach out to hold
it.

　　“Xiaoya, grandma knows that you are a good girl, but…are

you really willing to marry Xiao Chuan? Have you thought about it?
You know our Xiao Chuan’s special situation.”

　　After the excitement, grandma Bai gradually calmed down. If

her family Xiao Chuan wasn’t autistic, he and Mu Xiaoya would have
been a good match. But her family Xiao Chuan wasn’t a normal
person. She has taken care of Xiao Chuan for more than 20 years. No
one knew better than her how much patience and courage it takes to
live with an autistic person. Even though Xiao Chuan’s condition was
much better than other autistic patients.

　　Although in her heart she wanted Mu Xiaoya to be her
granddaughter, but if this road wasn’t good, it was better not to start,
this would be good for both of them.

　　“Grandma, I thought about it very clearly.” Mu Xiaoya heard

the worries in grandma Bai’s words and smiled to soothe her.

　　“Good, very good.” Grandma Bai smiled happily. “Xiao Chuan

is going to have a wife. I can finally close my eyes.”

　　“Mom, what are you talking about?” Bai Guoyu didn’t want to
hear his mother speak as if it were her last words.

　　On the side, when grandma Bai uttered these words with a
peace of mind, there was a flash of relief and joy through Bai Chuan’s
eyes.

　　“Xiao Rong, bring my bracelet.”

　　Bai Chuan’s mother, Li Rong, listened to her mother-in-law,

then turned around and went to the bedside. She pulled out from the
side cabinet a mahogany box and handed it to grandma Bai: “Mom,
here it is.”

　　Grandma Bai turned, gave the box to Mu Xiaoya and said,

“Open it and have a look.”

　　Mu Xiaoya froze, and opened the small elegant mahogany box
according to her instructions, inside was an emerald jade bracelet.
Mu Xiaoya had seen this bracelet, this was the bracelet that grandma
Bai always wore.

　　“Does it look good?” Grandma Bai asked.

　　“Good looking. Grandma, I remember this is your bracelet.”

　　“Yes, this bracelet was a dowry that my mother gave me when

I married. It’s our family heirloom and it’s passed down from mother

www.asianovel.com
 25 Report
to daughter. Originally, I wanted to pass it on to my daughter, but I
only gave birth to a son and didn’t have the opportunity. Xiaoya,
now, grandma wants to give it to you.”

　　As soon as grandma Bai’s words fell, the Bai couple on the side
were surprised again. For the Bai family, the significance of this
bracelet was far greater than its value. None of them thought that
grandma Bai would give this bracelet to an outsider.

　　“That…that’s not good.” Mu Xiaoya quickly refused.

　　“I originally wanted to leave this bracelet to Xiao Chuan’s wife

but didn’t expect that I would have the chance to gift it personally.”

　　“But…” Mu Xiaoya wanted to postpone it. This kind of thing

passed down by his ancestor was a good jadeite and must be of high
value. How could she dare accept it. However, before she could say
anything else, Bai Chuan suddenly reached for the jade bracelet in
the wooden box and forced her to put it on while Mu Xiaoya looked
on with confused eyes.

　　“Bai Chuan?” Mu Xiaoya looked at Bai Chuan in surprise.

　　“Wear it.” The short words were undeniably authoritative.

　　When Bai Zheng received a call from his assistant, he rushed

back to the ward and witnessed this scene. A strange woman was
crouched in front of his grandmother’s hospital bed, while his
younger brother, who wasn’t allowed to enter, was clumsily but
forcefully putting the jade bracelet on people. And his grandmother
nodded her head in relief.

　　“It’s beautiful.” Grandma Bai took Mu Xiaoya’s arm that wore

the jade bracelet, looked at it again and again, after a long time, she
asked again with anticipation, “When are you planning to get
married?”

　　Her grandson was about to get married and grandma Bai

www.asianovel.com
 26 Report
greedily wanted to stay a little longer so she could attend her
grandson’s wedding.

　　Mu Xiaoya looked at grandma Bai’s glowing spirit and was

worried. She couldn’t recall when grandma Bai passed away, but she
knew it would happen soon. Because in her last life, she went to the
hospital the next afternoon to see grandma Bai, but she was no
longer there.

　　“I’ll go home in the evening and tell my parents that I’ll get the
certificate tomorrow. We will show it to you once we get it.” Mu
Xiaoya replied.

　　“Good.” Grandma Bai said it three times in a row, then her

voice suddenly weakened. Everyone noticed something was wrong
and hurriedly raised their eyes to see, only to find that grandma Bai
had closed her eyes.

　　This time, everyone in the ward was frightened, they all

focused their concentration on the bedside and kept calling out
grandma Bai constantly. Only Bai Chuan, who still stood quietly
beside Mu Xiaoya, calmly looked at the old person peacefully
sleeping on the bed.

　　After a short while, the doctor came over. After a brief

examination, the doctor said, “The old person just fell asleep.”

　　The crowd was relieved.

　　“However, the old person’s body is running out of oil and the
light is dim, leave…it’s a matter of time. When she wakes up, if you
have anything else to say, hurry.” The doctor advised and left the
ward.

　　The mood in the ward suddenly re-ignited. Everyone in the Bai

family was immersed in sadness that grandma Bai could leave at any
time. For a while, they ignored the marriage between Mu Xiaoya and

www.asianovel.com
 27 Report
Bai Chuan.

　　Mu Xiaoya looked at the old person who slept peacefully in the
hospital bed as if she would leave at any time, suddenly gritted her
teeth, turned to Bai Chuan and said, “Bai Chuan, let’s go get the
certificate.”

　　“Okay.” Bai Chuan agreed without hesitation.

　　“I’ll go home and get the residence certificate, how about your
resident certificate?”

　　Bai Chuan blinked, then turned his head, ignored his stunned
parents, and stared at his equally stunned brother: “I want the
resident certificate.”

　　“…” Bai Zheng, can someone tell him what happened?

　　Finally, the resident certificate was given to Bai Chuan. Bai

Zheng went home to get the resident certificate and personally
delivered it to the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Then, he watched
Mu Xiaoya and his younger brother go in, get the certificate and
come out together.

　　During this period, he was marveled by his brother’s reaction.

His brother, Bai Chuan, was diagnosed with autism at the age of one.
He was discovered to have special memory and computing talents at
the age of three. He was one of the lucky 10% with autism who was a
scholar syndrome patient. Since this discovery, his parents have
finally found the development direction of the younger son and
spared no effort to cultivate him. His younger brother learned very
fast, but always kept himself in his own world, unwilling to
communicate with others.

　　Until his younger brother was seven years old, their family
used up their patience countless times to get his younger brother’s
occasional reaction, but communication was still difficult. Finally, the

www.asianovel.com
 28 Report
retired grandmother made the decision that she would take his
younger brother back to the old home.

　　The doctor said that his brother knew how to respond, which
meant that he was aware of the outside world and didn’t had severe
autism. If he recovers well, he was likely to regain his ability to
socialize.

　　They didn’t want a genius in the Bai family, but someone they
could communicate with. So, the Bai parents agreed with grandma’s
decision to take his younger brother away. For more than ten years,
his younger brother lived with his grandmother the entire time, and
his younger brother’s recovery was also gratifying. At the age of 12,
he finally accepted everyone in the Bai family and was willing to
respond to their questions.

　　But, this kind of response usually wasn’t very timely. After a

question was asked, it would take several minutes or even half an
hour for his younger brother to answer.

　　Although his communication has been better in recent years,

apart from his grandmother, Bai Zheng has never seen his brother
respond to anyone immediately.

　　Until Mu Xiaoya appeared.

“We should take this and let grandma see.” inside the car, Mu
Xiaoya brought the two marriage certificates together and gave them
to Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan woodenly held onto the marriage certificates, after

sometime passed, he heavily nodded his head a few times.

Thirty seconds, at most thirty seconds, and his brother already

answered this woman.

On the whole journey, he paid attention to the two people’s

interaction, Bai Zheng’s heart suddenly felt upset, they were born
from the same parents and grew up together as close brothers, was
he still not comparable to one outsider? Furthermore, how can he be
this close with this woman called Mu Xiaoya, while at normal times,
whenever he [BZ] wanted to touch him [BC], he [BC] would always
subconsciously avoid him [BZ]?

“Turn to the left.” At this time, Bai Chuan suddenly spoke.

“What?” Bai Zheng was a bit sensitive to his little brother’s voice.

“Turn to the left.” Bai Chuan repeated his words again one more
time.

“Bai Chuan’s meaning is, we should have turned to the left at that
intersection.” Mu Xiaoya explained.

Bai Zheng was slightly dumbfounded, then he awkwardly found out

that he already took a wrong road. Hence, he could only pretended
as if nothing happened and turned around at the next intersection as
he continued to hear Mu Xiaoya and his brother’s unhindered chat at

www.asianovel.com
 30 Report
the back row.

“Bai Chuan, you remember the road that we took before ah.”

“Remember.”

“When did you remember it?”

“On the way.”

It’s really good, every question would only take at most 10 seconds
to be answered.

The three person very quickly returned to the hospital, Grandma

Bai was still fast asleep, so everybody had to keep watch inside the
ward room to wait until Grandma Bai wake up again. Around 5 p.m,
Grandma Bai finally awaken, Mu Xiaoya hurriedly pulled on Bai Chuan
over as they together delivered their marriage certificates to
Grandma Bai.

“Grandma, take a look.”

Grandma Bai’s eyes shined immediately as she sat up filled with

vigour, she took the bright red marriage certificates with her
trembling hands.

She slowly and carefully looked at the couple’s picture, the official
seal, their names and the certificate date, not letting anything slip
past her eyes.

After she finished looking at it, she pulled Bai Chuan and Mu
Xiaoya’s hands, told them a lot of wishes and heartfelt words. After
saying those few words, she also started to tell them how they first
met when they were still small. Grandma Bai said so many, many
words, as if she didn’t recognize any fatique in her body, she told all
of these things until the colour of the sky gradually dimmed, then she
finally slept slowly, peacefully, without waking up ever again.

Grandma Bai passed away serenely, the corners of her mouth
curved in a gentle smile.

They had already prepared to face this matter earlier on, so Bai
family’s member’s mood was still stable, and also, dying of old age
was a natural course of life, it can still be counted as they were
sending out somebody who lived to a ripe old age. The funeral’s
affairs were swiftly managed but still honourable, and so, no more
than several days later, Grandma Bai already laid to rest in the coffin
beside Grandpa Bai’s.

There were a lot of guests that came when it was time to give
condolences, but there were only a few of Bai family’s members
standing by at the funeral today.

After the relatives in the cemetery all walked out, mother Bai, Li
Rong, looked at her small son who was standing still in front of the
tombstone alone, she quietly called Mu Xiaoya to her side.

“Auntie.” Normally, after processing the certificate, she should

change to call her ‘Mother’, but Mu Xiaoya hasn’t adapted yet, luckily
Li Rong clearly didn’t mind it.

“Xiaoya, Auntie wants to thank you, thank you for realizing Bai
Chuan’s grandma’s wish, letting her walk away with a peaceful
heart.” Li Rong thanked her, and Father Bai who was at the side
nodded his head full of gratefulness.

“This is what I should do.” Grandma Bai treated her nicely when
she was still small, and since she now already decided to be married
to Bai Chuan, then doing this kind of thing was naturally just what
she’s supposed to do.

“Right now grandma already passed away, what do you plan in the
future?”

“Ah?” Mu Xiaoya was a bit startled.

www.asianovel.com
 32 Report
“That day Grandma talked a sentence to Xiao Chuan inside the
ward, she said that she hasn’t seen his marriage yet. After that, Xiao
Chuan vanished so quickly before bringing you back.” Saying this, Li
Rong can’t help but turned her head and gazed at his small son that
was still standing in front of the grave, “Xiao Chuan was brought up
by his grandma from when he’s still a child, so his feeling is
particularly good towards old people. However, Xiao Chuan’s
circumstances is special, although we hope that he could have a
companion in his life, but we won’t insist this on him like what his
grandmother did.”

“Auntie, what you mean is…?” Mu Xiaoya somewhat understood.

“We want to ask you, this marriage happened, is it because you

wanted to help realizing Grandma’s dying wish, or is it because you
really want to be married with Xiao Chuan?” Li Rong didn’t speak in a
round-about way anymore, she wanted to talk about this matter with
Mu Xiaoya beforehand, but because of the matters that she had to
attend to were too many these past few days, she can only found this
time to ask her.

“Actually, I’m not really sure myself.” Mu Xiaoya answer made

father and mother Bai shocked, even Bai Zheng who was standing
slightly afar tilted his head and looked over.

Bai Chuan stood in front of Grandmother Bai’s tombstone for a long

time, and Mu Xiaoya just silently accompanied him, if Bai Chuan
didn’t walk, she won’t urge him to.

After experiencing death once, Mu Xiaoya became more patient

and calm. She only got four years left to live, so she won’t study
abroad, she won’t spend a lot of time to study, she won’t be
nervously searching for job, she even won’t expend great effort to
fulfill her former dreams. When they all seemed insignificant, you’d
suddenly find out that life slowed down with you, time would
lengthen infinitely.

At the present, Mu Xiaoya had this kind of feeling, she hoped that
she could pass her four years in this warm and ordinary way.

‘Rumble~’

After only eating a simple breakfast, Mu Xiaoya hurried to go to the

burial ground, although she tried to resist it until now, but her
stomach truly can’t bear its owner’s neglect so it finally called out
with discontentment.

Mu Xiaoya stealthily looked at Bai Chuan who was standing at her

side, luckily he seemed to not hear anything as he was still standing
still in front of the tomb. Feeling her stomach’s resentment, she
stretched her hand and covered it. When she was moving her hand,
the emerald green jade bracelet knocked against the button on her
blouse, it sent out a clear and crisp voice.

The sound was really light, one could almost overlook it, but Bai
Chuan who just now didn’t give any response, suddenly looked over.
Patient with autism would sometimes give a keen reaction towards
www.asianovel.com
 34 Report
tiny, particular sounds.

He looked with uncertainty towards Mu Xiaoya who was rubbing

her stomach.

“I’m a bit hungry.” Mu Xiaoya laughed awkwardly.

“We should go eat something.” If you’re hungry, you should eat.

Autistic patient’s brain usually has linear thinking, they didn’t have
the normal person’s worries and misgivings, if they wanted to do
something, they would do it bluntly and swiftly. Of course, in the
premise that they possess good capability to express themselves.

Bai Chuan’s capability in expressing himself was extremely good,

in the last few years of his doctor, Professor Feng’s report, he
suspected that Bai Chuan actually was an acquired scholar syndrome
patient. He interrogated Bai Chuan’s parents for several times
whether or not Bai Chuan’s brain was impacted when he was still less
than one year old. It’s because Bai Chuan’s recovery was very good,
as if he originally possessed the ability for social interaction.

Xiaoya was very hungry, she wanted to eat something. This idea
spurred Bai Chuan to depart from this place, but he found that Mu
Xiaoya wasn’t following him after he walked a few steps, so he
stopped his pace in puzzlement.

“Grandma, we’re going now.” after saying this, Mu Xiaoya hurried

and chased Bai Chuan, naturally holding his hand in hers.

Bai Chuan was dumbfounded. This was the third time, an

understanding emerged in his heart: Mu Xiaoya likes joining their
hands together.

This new understanding made him a bit more happy.

Two people followed the flight of stairs, step by step walking

towards the foot of the hill. At the gate of the cemetery, a black benz

www.asianovel.com
 35 Report
was parked at the roadside, garnering everyone’s attention. Mu
Xiaoya knew this must be the car that Bai Zheng left behind for
them, so she pulled Bai Chuan to walk over.

“Xiao Chuan.” when the two people was approaching the car, a
woman wearing a one-piece black dress came down from the car,
she familiarly called Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan only looked at her indifferently without speaking a word

in return, then he retracted his eyes from her. But Mu Xiaoya knew,
regarding Bai Chuan who can’t communicate easily with people, this
simple reaction told her that he knew this woman.

“Miss Mu.” The woman seemed accustomed to Bai Chuan’s lack of

reaction, so she turned her head and called to Mu Xiaoya.

“Hello, you are…?”

“I’m President Bai’s secretary, my name is Wang Jing, I’m ordered

by President Bai to wait on you two here.” Saying this, Wang Jing
pulled open the car’s door for the two people.

Mu Xiaoya gave a simple thank you and brought Bai Chuan to get
on the car together.

After Wang Jing closed the door, she also got on the car, and after
she started the car’s engine she asked, “Miss Mu, do you want me to
send you back first?”

“Thank you, my house is at…”

“Fanhua Road number 126, teaching and administrative staff’s

dormitory of Qingyuan high school, building 18.” without waiting for
Mu Xiaoya to finish her words, Wang Jing already accurately reported
Mu Xiaoya’s address.

“How come you know this?” Mu Xiaoya was a bit surprised.

www.asianovel.com
 36 Report
“I formerly used to meet with Xiao Chuan, your residence is
located next to Xiao Chuan’s, so I naturally remember both of you
guys’ addresses.”

“I see.” Mu Xiaoya was a bit curious, it seemed that this Wang Jing
was very familiar with Bai Chuan, so she couldn’t help but asked,
“Are you very familiar with Xiao Chuan?”

“That’s right ah.” Wang Jing said, “I took Yi Feng Group’s

scholarship, so after I graduated, I immediately entered Yi Feng’s
workforce. President Bai was very concerned with his younger
brother Xiao Chuan, so when he was in the company, he always took
extra care for all of his necessities. Becoming President Bai’s
secretary, it wouldn’t be weird that I had a lot of contact with Xiao
Chuan.” Yi Feng Grroup was Bai Chuan’s father, Bai Guoyu’s
company that he himself founded.

“Then, Xiao Chuan was fortunate to have your care in the

company.”

“That’s of course.” Wang Jing turned the topic, “Actually, I was

there when Xiao Chuan was searching for you to propose a
marriage.”

“You’re there?” Mu Xiaoya rose her eyebrows in astonishment.

“That day, Xiao Chuan suddenly disappeared from the hospital,

President Bai was very worried for him, so after we finished searching
around the perimeter, we suspected if Xiao Chuan ran back home,
and thus we drove the car to resume the search, but I didn’t expect
to see Xiao Chuan proposing a marriage to you.” Wang Jing laughed
and said, “Actually, I might be more nervous compared to the both of
you at that time.”

Mu Xiaoya embarrassingly smiled, she didn’t expect that her

proposal was witnessed by someone.

www.asianovel.com
 37 Report
“Luckily I agreed.”

“Exactly, if you didn’t agree back then, I would’ve agreed for you.”
Wang Jing said half-jokingly.

Mu Xiaoya wanted to laugh from the other’ teasing, accidentally,

her sight swept past Bai Chuan’s pretty and fair face, her heart all of
a sudden jumped, the crisscrossed scars on Bai Chuan’s face from
her former life suddenly streaked in front of her eyes.

“How could you agree for me ah?” Mu Xiaoya became sensitive all
of a sudden.

“Maybe Miss Mu didn’t know, but Xiao Chuan is very handsome

and bright, although his circumstances is rather particular, but inside
our group, he’s still ranked number five among the most wanted
bachelor list. There are a lot of girls in our company who want to be
married to him.”

Wang Jing said this as if she was joking, but Mu Xiaoya can’t smile
anymore at this point. If Grandmother Bai also passed away at the
same time at her former life, then when she rejected Bai Chuan,
where would he go to ask for marriage after that? All sorts of
coincidences combined together and told her that this Wang Jing in
front of her was Bai Chuan’s wife at her former life.

She wondered if she rejected him, would he agree to be married

with this woman? But to fulfill Grandmother Bai’s dying wish, Xiao
Chuan would probably do it.

The more Mu Xiaoya thought about it, the more she felt that this
probability wasn’t impossible, first of all, how much Bai family cared
for Bai Chuan, they wouldn’t let him find just anyone to be married to
him. But Wang Jing was President Bai’s secretary, she seemed like
she got along well with Bai Chuan, if Bai Chuan persisted that he
must get married before Grandmother Bai pass away, the Bai family
might agree.

www.asianovel.com
 38 Report
If Wang Jing married to Bai Chuan in her former life, then the one
who harmed Bai Chuan should be her too…

“Miss Mu? Miss Mu?”

Mu Xiaoya was captured in her own thoughts, and she suddenly

came back to her senses when she heard Wang Jing shouted her
name.

“What is it?”

“We’ve arrived.” Wang Jing smiled as she reminded her.

Mu Xiaoya looked outside the window, as expected, she discovered

that the car was parked in front of her house’s gate, Bai Chuan was
silently looking at her from the side.

“Let’s get off the car.” Mu Xiaoya signaled Bai Chuan to get off the
car, Bai Chuan heeded Mu Xiaoya’s lead and the two people got off
together.

“Miss Mu, I’ll be waiting here in front of the gate. After you both
finish eating, I’ll send Xiao Chuan back home.” Wang Jing said.

“There’s no need for secretary Wang to wait, after we finish eating,

I can send Xiao Chuan back myself.” With her suspicion aroused, Mu
Xiaoya suddenly didn’t want to let Wang Jing has a lot of chances to
be in contact with Bai Chuan.

“But… President Bai already ordered that I have to personally send

Xiao Chuan back home.”

Mu Xiaoya frowned, she didn’t want Wang Jing to drive him home,
but Wang Jing took order from Bai Zheng, on the other hand, her
relationship with Bai Zheng wasn’t really close, so this thing would
make them more awkward towards each other.

“You don’t want her to wait?” At this time, Bai Chuan who was

www.asianovel.com
 39 Report
beside her suddenly talked. He heard Mu Xiaoya wanted Wang Jing to
leave from here just now.

Wang Jing was surprised as she looked at Bai Chuan, this was her
first time seeing Bai Chuan taking the initiative to respond to other
people.

“En, I’ll send you back at night.” Mu Xiaoya nodded her head.

“You go back!” after clearly understanding Mu Xiaoya’s meaning,

Bai Chuan drove away Wang Jing without the least bit of hesitation.
Nevertheless, this was the first time he talked with Wang Jing, with
crude manner and no trace of politeness.

“Xiao Chuan, I…” Wang Jing suddenly became embarrassed.

“You go.” Bai Chuan slightly frowned, how can this person still not
walking away.

As long as one was a staff of Yi Feng Group, one would have one
common knowledge, and that was, one must not make the second
young master Bai Chuan unhappy, even a frown wouldn’t be allowed,
because whenever second young master Bai lose control over his
emotion, the chairman and president Bai would find you to have a
‘discussion’. And because of this reason, after Wang Jing saw the
crease on Bai Chuan’s eyebrows, she didn’t dare to say anything
anymore and at once drove away from Mu Xiaoya’s house.

“Don’t you like her? What are you doing driving her away?” After
Wang Jing left, Mu Xiaoya expressed her cheerfulness, but she still
wanted to question the overbearing air that Bai Chuan let out just
now, it was really enlightening.

“I don’t like her.” Bai Chuan solemnly corrected her.

“Don’t like? Then why did she call you Xiao Chuan?” Mu Xiaoya
raised her eyebrows, the last time they came across an assistant of
Bai family, they clearly addressed him as Second Young Master, how

www.asianovel.com
 40 Report
can this woman just straight up called him Xiao Chuan? When one
heard it, they would unconsciously thought that they have close
relationship.

“…it was her that wanted to call.” In Bai Chuan’s understanding,

Bai Chuan, Second Young Master, and Xiao Chuan were all just how
he was addressed with, he thought that there’s nothing different
between these three words.

“So you just let her call you whatever she wants to?” Mu Xiaoya
was really dissatisfied.

Bai Chuan was feeling perplexed as he gazed at Mu Xiaoya, he

didn’t understand what her words meant.

Autistic people all had difficulty in socializing, even though they

didn’t lack their function in language, but when they interacted with
other people, they would hear what the other people were saying,
that’s all, all of those metaphors, analogies and sarcastic remarks
would be incomprehensible for them. So Bai Chuan was unable to
make any sense from Mu Xiaoya’s metaphor and rhetorical question.

“Don’t allow her to call you like that.” Mu Xiaoya also knew that Bai
Chuan didn’t understand those sarcastic retorts and metaphor, so
she could only talk bluntly.

“Oh.” Bai Chuan didn’t understand Mu Xiaoya’s moodiness, but he

understood what Mu Xiaoya asked from him, and he felt that it
wasn’t unreasonable at all.

“Later, you can only let people who are close with you to call you
Xiao Chuan, understand?” Mu Xiaoya explained.

“Oh.” Bai Chuan had a vague understanding.

So when Mu Xiaoya called him Xiao Chuan on the car just now
showed that he’s already close with her? Inside Bai Chuan’s cognitive
system, he inputted a string of new information.

Bai Chuan’s obedience made Mu Xiaoya finally felt contented. She
gratifyingly brought him inside the house, walking while telling him,
“My parents should be at home at this time, after we enter in a while,
I’ll tell them the matter about our marriage, you should just sit down
on my side, okay?”

“En.”

“I’m feeling a bit famished right now, we should talk about

marriage after we finish eating.”

“En.”

“Good boy.”

Bai Chuan’s dark and large eyes was quietly looking attentively at
Mu Xiaoya, regarding her treating him like a good child, he didn’t
show any confliction. He even somewhat cherishing this moment,
because it had been such a long time since Mu Xiaoya coaxed him
like this.

“Big Brother Bai Chuan, wait here for me, I’ll be back shortly.” After
the young girl told him, she bounced and ran about, and only came
back after sometime has passed.

“Big Brother Bai Chuan, did you wait for me here all along? You
didn’t leave?”

The young boy earnestly swayed his head, he didn’t leave even for
just a step.

“Good boy.” The young girl learned how to behave like an adult,
she stood on her tiptoe, wishing to pat the young boy’s head, but
because of their height’s difference, she could only pat his shoulder.

This time, she didn’t pat his shoulder. The expression inside Bai
Chuan’s eyes sank down, then he unexpectedly pulled Mu Xiaoya’s
arm, pressing it to his own shoulder forcefully.

We Wait for Them to Agree

　　Mu Xiaoya’s parents were high school teachers. Her father, Mu

Ruozhou was the director of Qingyuan High School’s Mathematics
department while her mother, Shen Qingyi was the director of the
English department. Both husband and wife were star teachers in
Qingyuan High School. In their 26 years of teaching, they had many
students who they taught that attended famous universities.

　　However, as a child of these star teachers, Mu Xiaoya’s

academic performance from childhood wasn’t good. When she was in
junior high school, she couldn’t even get admitted to Qingyuan High
School where her parents taught.

　　For this, Mu Xiaoya’s parents didn’t blame their daughter.

Their only requirement for Mu Xiaoya was to be healthy and be
happy. On the contrary, Mu Xiaoya felt she had lost her parents’ face,
so she worked hard after entering high school and finally got into a
good university.

　　However, Mu Xiaoya dared to marry Bai Chuan behind her

parents’ backs was in fact due to her parents’ excessive indulgence.

　　The Mu parents were surprised by Bai Chuan’s sudden visit.

The couple speculated that Grandma Bai had just passed away and
Bai Chuan was uncomfortable. So, their daughter brought him back
for dinner, thus they didn’t ask much. The couple warmly welcomed
Bai Chuan.

　　They also knew that Bai Chuan had scholar syndrome. As a

www.asianovel.com
 44 Report
math teacher, Mu Ruozhou occasionally studied some math
problems. He knew that Bai Chuan’s computing skills were excellent,
so he asked Bai Chuan several questions that he couldn’t solve
during the meal. Bai Chuan was also interested in mathematics, so
he answered his father-in-law’s questions.

　　This made Mu Ruozhou’s happy. After dinner, he asked and

pulled Bai Chuan to help him write the calculating formulas.

　　His arm was pulled by a stranger, even if it was his father-in-

law. Bai Chuan was very shameless and hid behind Mu Xiaoya. This
made Mu Ruozhou a little embarrassed, as if he scared children.

　　“Xiao Chuan, I’m sorry, ah.” Mu Ruozhou coughed awkwardly,

then looked at his daughter who was extremely attached to Bai
Chuan, and asked, “Xiaoya, can you let Xiao Chuan write down the
formulas for me.”

　　“Dad, if you want people to write, you need to get a pen and
paper.” Mu Xiaoya laughed.

　　“Yes, yes, I’ll get it now.” Mu Ruozhou patted his head,

hurriedly turned and ran to the study to find paper and pen.

　　Shen Qingyi seemed to be used to her husband, she shook her

head and smiled, then began to clean up the table. When Mu Xiaoya
saw her, she turned around and said to Bai Chuan who was still
sitting at the dining table: “You can sit on the sofa and help my dad
write some formulas. I’ll help my mother wash the dishes.”

　　Bai Chuan nodded his head stupidly, then obediently sat on

the sofa.

　　Mu Xiaoya went to the kitchen to help with the remaining

plates.

　　Shen Qingyi was chatting with her daughter while cleaning the
stove: “After Teacher Cui passed away, Bai Chuan’s mood doesn’t

www.asianovel.com
 45 Report
seem bad.”

　　Grandma Bai’s original name was Cui. She was also a teacher
of Qingyuan High School before she retired. Her teaching career was
almost as long as Qingyuan High School’s history, so Shen Qingyi
always called Grandma Bai by Teacher Cui.

　　“It’s good, just a little sad.” Mu Xiaoya replied.

　　“It’s okay to be sad.” As a neighbor, how did Bai Chuan slowly

recovered from being a silent autistic child to what he was now? No
one was more clear than Grandma Bai and her efforts during this
period. “They say that children with autism only live in their own
world, but Xiao Chuan knows how to be sad. It can be seen that
Teacher Cui’s efforts weren’t wasted, ah.”

　　“In fact, Xiao Chuan can actually communicate with the

outside world.” Mu Xiaoya took the opportunity to say.

　　“Indeed, I think it’s good to communicate with you.”

　　“Your daughter is loved by all, ah.” Mu Xiaoya boasted with a

smile.

　　“Everyone loves you? Look at you, so shameless. Quickly wash

the dishes and send Xiao Chuan back.” Shen Qingyi said with a smile.

　　“Then I have to wait for Xiao Chuan to help dad finish writing
the formulas, ah.”

　　After that, the mother and daughter tacitly looked at the living
room together, Mu Ruozhou was crouched in front of Bai Chuan
diligently. He was intoxicated as he watched Bai Chuan write the
formulas, from time to time, he gave a sigh of admiration. Looking at
this scene, the mother and daughter smiled again, then continued to
clean up the kitchen. Mu Xiaoya was responsible for washing while
Shen Qingyi was responsible for putting away the dishes and
chopsticks.

　　“Xiao Chuan won’t be able to live with us anymore” After
Teacher Cui died, Shen Qingyi felt the Bai family wouldn’t agree with
Bai Chuan living next door alone.

　　“I don’t know.”

　　“Certainly not.” Shen Qingyi worried, “I just don’t know if Xiao

Chuan will adapt to the changes in his environment. After all, his
situation is special.”

　　“Mom, are you worried about Bai Chuan?” Mu Xiaoya raised an

eyebrow.

　　“Nonsense, it’s how I look at children who I watched grew up.”

Shen Qingyi was a very responsible teacher herself, and she treated
her students as if they were her own. Not to mention Bai Chuan’s
situation was special. He has always been a child growing up under
her eyes.

　　“Then I’ll tell you something, you shouldn’t be too angry.”

After the meal, the dishes were almost washed. Mu Xiaoya thought
the timing was right.

　　“What did you do that you’re worried that I would get angry?”
Shen Qingyi was curious.

　　“I took a copy of our household registry the other day.”

　　“What did you do with our household registry?” Shen Qingyi

asked, “Didn’t you already got a passport and visa for going
abroad?”

　　“I…took it and got married.”

　　“Bang!” Shen Qingyi was unstable, the white porcelain bowl

fell from her hand, instantly breaking into pieces. The two men in the
living room were frightened and looked up from the formula.

www.asianovel.com
 47 Report
　　“With Bai Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya finished in one breath.

　　“…”

　　The sudden explosive news surprised both the Mu family’s

husband and wife. They stood in the living room silently for a long
time while the two people sat quietly and cleverly on the sofa in the
living room as if waiting for a verdict.

　　In the end, Mu Ruozhou still chose to let his daughter send Bai
Chuan back first.

　　“Mom, dad, I’ll send Xiao Chuan back first.” Mu Xiaoya stood
up and prepared to take Bai Chuan away.

　　“Dad, mom, goodbye.” Who knew that before leaving, Bai

Chuan suddenly changed their names and called them his parents.

　　“…” When he called out mom and dad, Mu Ruozhou and Shen
Qingyi’s faces changed.

　　Neither of them responded to this polite farewell. Now Bai

Chuan wasn’t just a poor, helpless and pitiful young man that lived
next door, but their son-in-law.

　　People were like this. There were some things, that as a

bystander, will show unparalleled tolerance and sympathy, and even
take the initiative to help others. But once initiative is taken to
become personally involved, the mentality was completely different.
At this moment, the Mu family’s parents have such an unspeakable
mentality.

　　Mu Xiaoya knew that her parents needed time and space to
calm down, so she didn’t stimulate her parents anymore and left with
Bai Chuan in a hurry.

　　When he came out of the Mu home, Bai Chuan stopped

subconsciously and glanced back.

www.asianovel.com
 48 Report
　　“What’s wrong? Have you forgotten something?” Mu Xiaoya
asked.

　　“Just now…mom and dad, didn’t say goodbye to me.” Bai

Chuan said very seriously.

　　Hic…

　　Mu Xiaoya suddenly felt embarrassed, she didn’t expect Bai

Chuan was a very serious and upright BOY.

　　“They forgot. I will remind them later. I promise this won’t

happen again in the future.” Mu Xiaoya coaxed.

　　“Do they disagree?”

　　“What?”

　　“Disagree that we got married.” Bai Chuan asked seriously.

　　Mu Xiaoya was stunned. She didn’t expect Bai Chuan, who has
cognitive impairment, could feel her parents’ emotions so clearly.

　　“Why…do you think so?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

　　“I’ve been to your house twenty-six times since I was young.

Every time I left, they will say goodbye to me with a smile, but this
time they didn’t.” Bai Chuan explained with his own unique logic.
“Today, there are only two differences from the previous twenty-five
times. Grandma died and I married you. And out of both of them, we
got married.”

　　“You…you can say so much at once.” Mu Xiaoya was amazed

by Bai Chuan’s analytical ability, and at the same time scold her
mother in her heart. Who said that Bai Chuan has cognitive and
emotional barriers? Come on, his logical deductions were almost on
par with detectives.

　　“Yes.” Mu Xiaoya tucao, but Bai Chuan couldn’t hear it, then
answered seriously.1tucao means to roast or ridicule, and she’s
roasting her mother internally but Bai Chuan can’t hear her internal
monologues…

　　“Then why don’t you usually talk?”

　　“No need.”

　　“You say a lot when it’s necessary?”

　　“En.” Bai Chuan nodded. “I don’t like talking.”

　　“Don’t say you don’t like talking. Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”
Mu Xiaoya ignored Bai Chuan’s original question and took the person
out of the community. She called a cab and drove to Bai Chuan’s
villa.

　　“Why don’t they agree?” But Bai Chuan wasn’t an ordinary

person. He won’t avoid the question because of Mu Xiaoya’s
intentional avoidance. No, as soon as the car started, he asked again.

　　Why not? Because in my parents’ eyes, you’re an autistic

person with a mental defect, not a good match for their daughter.

　　“They don’t disagree, they’re still thinking. When they think

clearly, they will agree.” Mu Xiaoya coaxed.

　　Bai Chuan blinked, as if he accepted Mu Xiaoya’s explanation,

and didn’t continue to ask.

　　The car quickly stopped at the gate of the Bai family’s villa. Mu
Xiaoya asked the driver to wait for her in the car for a while so she
could send Bai Chuan in and come out.

　　“We’re married.” At the door, Bai Chuan didn’t enter.

　　“I know, ah.”

　　“When will we live together then?” Bai Chuan asked.

　　“…” Mu Xiaoya froze, “Live together?”

　　“En, after marriage, both husband and wife should live

together.”

　　“…” You really are aware of that, ah, Mu Xiaoya supported her
forehead, “My parents haven’t agreed yet.”

　　“They have to agree for us to live together?” Bai Chuan asked.

　　To be honest, Mu Xiaoya from the start never even thought

about living with Bai Chuan. At this time, she could only brace herself
and stiffly said, “Right…okay.”

　　“Then I’ll wait for them to agree.” After getting a positive

reply, Bai Chuan was satisfied.

　　Perhaps Bai Chuan’s behavior was too normal tonight and Mu

Xiaoya couldn’t help but ask: “What if…my parents don’t agree?”

　　“We’re married.” Bai Chuan emphasized again, “Even if they

don’t agree, it’s useless.”

　　“!!!” Mu Xiaoya was startled and couldn’t believe what she had
just heard.

　　“So…they should agree.”

　　“…” Because it was useless to disagree, so they had to agree,

cry or laugh.

After Mu Xiaoya left, everyone in the Bai family gathered around

and kept their distance so as to keep Bai Chuan feel comfortable,
carefully inquiring what happened in the Mu family tonight.

“Xiao Chuan ah, what did Xiaoya’s parents say?” Bai Guoyu wasn’t
even this nervous when Bai’s company was listed in the market.

“Did they agree with your marriage with Xiaoya?” Li Rong asked
more specifically.

What he wanted to ask had all been asked by the Bai father and
mother, so Bai Zheng just stayed silent and waited for his brother’s
answer.

Bai Chuan kept walking as he passed through the living room,

stepped up the stairs and went up the second floor only to respond
with three words: “They didn’t agree.” After saying this, he continued
and walked forward, locking himself up inside his bedroom.

“Didn’t agree?” The three people of Bai family formed a circle at

the bottom of the stairs.

“Well, in fact, it’s understandable.” Bai Guofeng was more rational

than his wife, although his heart was a little bit sour, but he can still
think from the viewpoint of Xiaoya’s parents. If he was her parents
instead, he wouldn’t want his daughter to marry a mentally abnormal
person.

“I already said that we shouldn’t let Xiao Chuan go there alone.”

Bai Zheng has a bit of regret.

Bai Chuan was a taciturn person, and his cognitive brain was

www.asianovel.com
 52 Report
different from that of a normal person. Even if someone scold him, he
wouldn’t necessarily react with anything, Bai Zheng also didn’t know
if his brother had received any grievances in the Mu family this night
or not. Usually, when he was in the Bai company, he wished that he
could place Bai Chuan’s office right before his own eyes.

“Bai Zheng, arrange someone to prepare appropriate gifts. Me and

your mother will personally visit Mu family.” Bai Guoyu thought for a
moment and decided to go there himself.

“Then, what if they still don’t agree?” Bai Zheng asked.

“Then we could only give up. We can’t force people to marry their
daughter to our family.” This possibility wasn’t without reason.

“Then what about Xiao Chuan? Xiao Chuan really love Xiaoya,
didn’t you see how he looked so frustrated when he came back just
then?” Thinking about this possibility, Li Rong couldn’t help but be
worried.

“Xiao Chuan felt frustrated?” Bai Guoyu was surprised. Wasn’t his
son looked as stiff as usual?

“Of course he was, you men are just careless and can’t see it
clearly.”

Bai Zheng who also didn’t see this, looked away silently.

“In short, whatever the Mu family thinks, we have to give our

utmost sincerity.” Bai Guoyu made a decision.

Mu Xiaoya returned home and foud that her parents were no

longer inside the living room. She paused slightly and went to his
father’s study in the first floor.

Raising her hand, she knocked twice on the door before entering it.

“Just ask if you have something to ask.” calmly walking to the front

www.asianovel.com
 53 Report
of her father’s desk, Mu Xiaoya knew that during the time she sent
Bai Chuan away, her parent’s messy thoughts has already been
sorted out.

“Is it true that you married Bai Chuan?” Until now, Shen Qingyi still
couldn’t believe the fact that her daughter was married.

“It’s true.” Mu Xiaoya said earnestly, “Me and Bai Chuan received
our marriage certificate on the day when Grandma Bai died. That day
was too busy, you guys also had to supervise a test at school, so I
didn’t have the time to tell you until now.”

“The day when Teacher Cui died? Then it was in these past few
days right? When we went to Teacher Cui’s memorial service, the Bai
family said nothing.” Mu Ruozhou frowned.

“Perhaps they thought that it was so sudden.”

“What do you mean?” Shen Qingyi was puzzled.

“There have been too many things that happened in these past
few days. They also only knew that I was married to Bai Chuan
abruptly, furthermore, Grandma Bai died that day, they probably
haven’t had the time to sort things up.” Mu Xiaoya explained.

“Then, what do the Bai family think of your marriage?” Mu Ruozhou

asked. If they were also caught off guard like them, then what would
be their reaction towards this then?

“Actually…” Mu Xiaoya smiled bitterly. “When I was at the

graveyard, Bai Chuan’s mother also asked me whether I planned to
continue this marriage or not.”

“What did she mean?” Shen Qingyi asked sensitively.

“Bai Chuan’s mother said, although she hoped that Bai Chuan can
have a partner in his life, but she wouldn’t impose it on anyone who’s
not willing.”

www.asianovel.com
 54 Report
“…” After hearing their daughter’s recount, Mu family’s father and
mother’s heart felt even heavier. This statement showed that they
didn’t persuaded her when she married Bai Chuan, it was entirely
their daughter’s willingness.

“Why do you want to marry Bai Chuan?” Shen Qingyi can’t

understand it, “Was it because of Teacher Cui’s last wish?”

As a neighbor for many years, Shen Qingyi’s relationship with

Grandma Bai has always been good and she naturally knew what
Grandma Bai was thinking. In the past, when Grandma Bai talked to
her about Bai Chuan’s future, Shen Qingyi even optimistically
persuaded Grandma Bai, saying that there will be a girl that could
appreciate Bai Chuan regardless of his defects.

But human nature is always like this. Being a bystander and being
someone involved, of course there would be differences in attitude.
She would admired the girl who would take care of Bai Chuan’s life
regardless of his special circumstances, but she didn’t want this girl
to be her own daughter.

Like the heroine with a beautiful heart in the movies, everyone

appreciates the heroine’s dedication and tolerance towards John
Nash (American mathematician who has mental illness), but not
everyone has the courage to experience the sufferings she went
through.

“I love Bai Chuan.” this was the answer Mu Xiaoya gave to her
parents.

She knew, for her parents, there was nothing that could surpass
this reason. In order to convince her parents further, Mu Xiaoya
continued and added, “Actually, I already liked him a long time ago.
You also know that I used to go to Bai Chuan’s house the most. So
when Bai Chuan ran here and proposed to me a few days ago, I was
so happy that I agreed to it without thinking.”

www.asianovel.com
 55 Report
“Bai Chuan suddenly proposed to you, have you ever thought that
it might only be for his grandma?” Mu Ruozhou reminded her

“I thought about it, and I already asked him.”

“Then what was his answer?”

“Bai Chuan said, Grandma Bai asked him to marry someone he

liked, then he came to me.” Mu Xiaoya answered.

The Mu family’s husband and wife became silent again. Bai Chuan
was an autistic child, and the major characteristic of autistic children
was that they were unwilling to communicate with others, but they
won’t lie and won’t find reasons for excuses. What they said was the
truest feeling they felt inside. Bai Chuan said that he liked Xiaoya,
then it must be his true heart.

“Xiaoya, have you ever thought that you would have a hard time
with Bai Chuan?” Mu Ruozhou can’t help but remind her again.

“That’s right ah, although Xiao Chuan is a good and smart child,
but at the end of the day, he’s still someone with autism. He can’t
express his feelings like a normal person. Your so called like, it’s
possible that it would be worn down by reality after just a few days.
At that time, won’t it hurt both of you?” Shen Qingyi added to her
husband’s words.

“Dad, mom, I already thought about these things, but I still want to
try.” Mu Xiaoya said, “I’m only telling you this after careful
consideration.”

Mu Xiaoya can understand the so called worry of her parents, but

as she had already went through rebirth, Mu Xiaoya felt that her and
Bai Chuan’s ending would be the same as the last time, with her
dying of illness and Bai Chuan becoming a widow. No, it have to be
better, at least in this life, Bai Chuan can avoid his fate of being
disfigured so he can still be a good-looking widower.

“Then what about studying abroad?” Shen Qingyi asked again.

“I won’t go.” Mu Xiaoya didn’t plan to study abroad from the

beginning anyway.

“Won’t go? Isn’t it your dream to go to SG to learn design?” Shen

Qingyi couldn’t believe it.

“Mom, I’ll explain this to you later.”

Mu Xiaoya knew that her change was too abrupt and it would just
be difficult for her parents to accept if she give them one attack after
another. But she couldn’t tell the truth. Her genetic disease that
would break out after four years was undetectable at this moment.
The only thing that she could do was to spend more time with them.

“Ma, I really want to marry Bai Chuan, just like you when you
wanted to marry dad, just agree ah.” The reason was almost the
same, Mu Xiaoya started to strike with ‘selling her cuteness’
strategy.

“You already have your certificate issued, do you still need us to

agree?” Shen Qingyi pushed away her daughter in a bad mood.

“I didn’t do this in the right way ah. It was because it wasn’t urgent
at that time, and later I really forgot about it. Sorry ah~.” Mu Xiaoya
ignored her mother’s bad mood and pasted herself shamelessly.

Shen Qingyi glanced at her husband helplessly, but Mu Ruozhou’s

eyes were also full of helplessness. As his wife said just now, her
daughter and Bai Chuan already received their marriage certificate,
even if they opposed it, they couldn’t change the fact that their
daughter was married. Moreover, they have been teachers for more
than 20 years already, and they knew very well that there were
certain things that the children had to experience themselves, or
else, if the teachers kept on forcing to teach them, they wouldn’t
even hear an ounce of what the teachers said.

www.asianovel.com
 57 Report
But as a parent to know that her daughter has been married under
this circumstance, their heart still felt a bit of bitterness, “Me and
your mom want to ponder about this matter for a while more.”

“How long do you have to think about it?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“We’ll tell you when we already think about it properly.” After

saying this, Mu Ruozhou stood up indifferently and left the room.

After seeing her husband leave, Shen Qingyi gave her daughter a
smile and followed to leave.

Facing the empty study room, Mu Xiaoya scratched her forehead

silently and suddenly burst out laughing. Her parents ah, they had
been teachers for their entire lifetime. They would always use
reasons and would never force their children to do or not to do
something. The only thing in their minds was whether she was willing
or not, or just judge something according to their standard.

They thought about it all night and asked her so many questions,
but they had never let out any sentence that forced her to leave Bai
Chuan. They just analyzed the advantages and disadvantages over
and over again and asked her if she had really thought about it.

In fact, if she think about it carefully, in the 26 years of her past

life, except for a short time to live, having no good relationship and
lacking the time to spend with her parents, she thought that her life
was actually not bad.

A gust of evening wind blew from the window, and the rice paper
on the table case rattled. Mu Xiaoya pressed her father’s treasured
Xuan paper with a paperweight, then closed the window tightly. The
window of the study was facing Grandma Bai’s courtyard next door.
Now that Grandma Bai was gone, there’s no light lit up in the
courtyard anymore.

If she leave after four years, will her parents looked at her

No, they would be even more sad.

Mu Xiaoya got up early and ran to school after changing her

clothes. Today was the day when the school will issue her diploma,
but she missed her chance to take her graduation photo. If she
doesn’t get her certificate on time, Fang Hui would probably kill her
directly.

Getting off the bus stop on Xueyuan Road, she walked a few steps
and saw Fang Hui at the school gate. Fang Hui at this time still wasn’t
a capable and shrewd woman like she was a few years later, she was
still that non-mainstream girl with more than three colour dyeing her
hair.

“Fang Hui.”

Mu Xiaoya waved her hands towards Fang Hui happily. Fang Hui
turned her head and saw Mu Xiaoya running towards her. Her mouth
was still sipping on a milk tea, not intending to give Mu Xiaoya a
reaction at all. But Mu Xiaoya didn’t care about it anymore, with a
leap, she glomped Fang Hui like an octopus.

“My clothes! Mu Xiaoya, you’re going to die ah!” Mu Xiaoya’s

sudden attack made the milk tea on Fang Hui’s hand spilled, staining
her newly bought clothes with a brown tea stain.

“I haven’t seen you for a long time ah, I really miss you.” Mu
Xiaoya didn’t hear Fang Hui’s complaint at all, still immersed in the
joy of meeting her friend.

“Don’t give me this crap, I tell you, if you don’t come out with your
marriage certificate, you won’t get pass me.” Fang Hui shoved her
away ruthlessly.

“I don’t bring my marriage certificate, but I still have the photo,
wanna see?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“…” Fang Hui hesitated, she couldn’t care less about the spilled
milk tea on her body anymore and asked Mu Xiaoya, “Are you really
married?”

“En.” Mu Xiaoya admitted it confidently.

“No way… who is it? Who are you married with? When did you fall
in love? How can I not know ah?” Fang Hui always thought that Mu
Xiaoya speaking about marriage was just to casually make an excuse
for missing the time to take their graduation photo.

“It’s a long story, do you remember the neighbor I mentioned to

you before?”

“Of course ah, you said that you have a handsome guy as your
neighbor, but unfortunately, he has autism.”

“That’s him.”

“Mu Xiaoya, you’re crazy!” The people who studied art had a bit of
good control over their face, but surely no one would go to such
length and find an autistic person just for one’s face ah. (face =
prestige)

“Don’t be so excited, I’ll tell you slowly.” And so, two people
walked side by side entering the school, Mu Xiaoya and Fang Hui
talked about the ins and outs of the matter.

After listening, Fang Hui’s expression became more complicated.

She stared at Mu Xiaoya with an inquiring look and asked, “So then,
did you marry him to fulfill the elder’s wish or did you really want to
be married to Bai Chuan?”

“Both of them.” Mu Xiaoya answered honestly.

“How can you just say both… let me change my question.” Fang
Hui felt that her question wasn’t really accurate, so she asked again,
“If Bai Chuan’s grandma didn’t die at this time, would you agree to
marry Bai Chuan?”

“Yeap.” After thinking for a while, Mu Xiaoya still gave a positive

answer. Granny’s death just happened right at that point of time, but
her original intention was still to marry Bai Chuan so she could
prevent further tragedies. Of course, if Grandma Bai wasn’t on her
last breath at that time, Bai Chuan wouldn’t propose to her, but this
wasn’t what Fang Hui wanted to ask.

“Then… you like him?” Fang Hui asked.

Like? Does she like Bai Chuan? Mu Xiaoya asked herself, of course
she liked him, but this kind of like wasn’t the kind of like between
man and woman. If she liked him like that, she wouldn’t reject Bai
Chuan at her last life. But after reincarnation, Mu Xiaoya felt that
romantic love wasn’t really that important anymore, hence her
marriage became much more pure and simple.

“Like.” Mu Xiaoya didn’t dare to tell Fang Hui what she really
thought, otherwise, based on Fang Hui’s character, she wouldn’t just
stop right here.

“Fang Hui, Mu Xiaoya…” Fang Hui still wanted to say something,

but their names were called suddenly by someone in front. The two
of them looked away and saw three to five of their classmates
waving at them. The two stopped talking and went there quickly.

“Mu Xiaoya, why didn’t you come when we took graduation photo
ah?” Mu Xiaoya was the only person missing on their high school
graduation photo, so her classmates became curious.

“Fang Hui said that you’re married, is it real?”

“Of course not ah, isn’t Mu Xiaoya going abroad next month? SG

www.asianovel.com
 62 Report
ah, that was the place we dream day and night.”

Mu Xiaoya patiently waited for them to finish, then said with a

smile, “Fang Hui didn’t lie to you guys, I am indeed married.”

“No freakin way, with who?”

“Any picture? Let us see for a bit.”

Someone asked this, so everyone suddenly didn’t want to talk

about their graduation photo anymore. They all crowded at the
classroom building’s doorway, waiting for Mu Xiaoya to show them
her husband’s picture.

“I don’t have it in my phone.” Mu Xiaoya thought, was it possible

that she didn’t have any feelings to Bai Chuan before, there’s just no
secretly taken photos of him in her phone, just the photo of their
marriage certificate, but she can’t just directly show that picture to
her classmates.

“Who are you lying to, how can you not have your own husband’s
photo?”

“If there’s none, then just make one ah, let your husband send you
his selfie.”

“That’s right, that’s right, let me see who’s so charming and

robbed our beauty Mu Xiaoya as soon as she graduated.”

Mu Xiaoya looked to Fang Hui for help, but she also had the look of
watching something interesting. To be honest, she listened Mu
Xiaoya mentioning how handsome Bai Chuan was, but she hadn’t
seen it herself after all, so she can’t help but has some curiosity.

“Then… I’m gonna try.” Mu Xiaoya’s phone has Bai Chuan’s

contact, but she almost never used it. In her impression, Bai Chuan
was someone who was often living inside his own world. Sometimes
when you call him, he won’t necessarily respond to you, let alone

www.asianovel.com
 63 Report
calling him by phone. Mu Xiaoya even suspected that Bai Chuan
absolutely won’t notice her wechat.

Although thinking so, Mu Xiaoya still pulled open Bai Chuan’s

wechat and sent him a message.

“He’s usually very busy, so he might not see it.” Mu Xiaoya told
them in advance.

“If he can’t see it, then just give him a call ah.” Her classmates just
won’t stop nagging before they can see the picture.

Mu Xiaoya suddenly felt a sweat coming from her forehead.

In the Bai family’s mansion, Bai Chuan was sitting on the balcony
while reading a book. His reading movement was extremely fast, it
just took him two or three seconds for him to turn the next page.

There was a small round table beside Bai Chuan’s right hand where
several breakfast meals were neatly arranged, but it can be seen
from the cold porridge that these meals had been placed here for a
long time already without being touched.

At this moment, Uncle Liu, the housekeeper of the Bai family,

walked in quietly. He scanned the untouched breakfast at a glance
and felt helpless, thinking that the Second Young Master had
forgotten to eat his breakfast again.

It’s not just breakfast, but Second Young Master could easily forget
to eat three meals a day. No, it didn’t seem accurate enough to say
that he forgot to eat, but that he just eat only when he felt hungry.
Second Young Master’s perception was different from ordinary
people, he often eats a meal a day, or sometimes he just didn’t eat
at all. Because of this, everyone in the Bai family felt extremely
worried, but they were helpless as there was nothing that they could
do, because when Second Young Master was immersed in his own
world, he would be unresponsive to whatever you say to him.

www.asianovel.com
 64 Report
And the only thing he can do was to always make sure that the
food was readily available at Second Young Master’s hand, so when
he felt hungry, there will always be food to eat.

Uncle Liu took the newly prepared breakfast from the kitchen,
walked over, and replaced the ones that had been cold. He didn’t
dare say anything but to stay for a while, turned away and walked
out. As he approached the door to a bedroom, Uncle Liu suddenly
heard a weird noise. He subconsciously took a look and found that
the phone on the bedside table was ringing.

Uncle Liu didn’t take it seriously and thus didn’t remind him of the
phone. Truthfully, Second Young Master’s phone has always been a
single-way contact tool as it’s only used when he wanted to find
someone. It’s basically nonsense for others to find him through his
private phone. Usually, if the masters wanted to find him, they would
call the house’s telephone, then he (Uncle Liu) will go and get him
(Bai Chuan).

“Creaak~”

When Uncle Liu’s thought just turned, he heard the sound of a

chair rubbing against the floor behind him, followed with the sound of
footsteps. Uncle Liu can’t believe his own ears and turned around to
see that Second Young Master actually put down the half-read book
in his hand, walked in from the balcony, went all the way to the bed,
and directly picked up the phone.

Did Second Young Master come over after hearing the text
message?

No, that’s impossible, Second Young Master has never reacted so

quickly, it must have been a coincidence, Second Young Master must
be looking for someone else. Yes, it must be like that.

Uncle Liu thought this way, and his heart calmed down somewhat
as he continued to hold the plate and walked out from the bedroom.

www.asianovel.com
 65 Report
At this time, Bai Chuan had picked up the phone and saw the
message from Mu Xiaoya: ‘Can you send me your picture?’

Picture? Bai Chuan pursed his lips and looked left and right,
thinking where his photo was placed, he turned his attention to Uncle
Liu who was about to leave the door.

He didn’t know when Uncle Liu came in, and he also didn’t care, he
only knew that he needed Uncle Liu’s help now, so he opened his
mouth to call him.

“Uncle Liu.” Bai Chuan shouted.

“S…Second Young Master?!” Uncle Liu was too excited and almost
knocked the plate on his hands over. He’s not hearing it wrong, right?
He’s only 52 years old this year, he shouldn’t be too old to have a
hearing problem. Just now, Second Young Master just called him? Is
that right?

Also… Second Young Master actually knew his name.

“I want to take a picture.” Bai Chuan handed his phone over to

Uncle Liu.

Take a picture? Second Young Master wants to take a picture?

Second Young Master actually wants him to take his picture?!

Uncle Liu quickly responded, the plate on his hand was quickly put
down the floor as he hurriedly ran over to pick up Bai Chuan’s phone,
“Second Young Master, how do you want to take it?”

This might be the first time that Second Young Master asked him to
do something, he have to do it perfectly.

“Take a picture of me.” Bai Chuan repeated.

I’m so stupid, why did I ask him how he wants to take the picture?
How could Second Young Master understand photography skill and

www.asianovel.com
 66 Report
poses and whatnot, his willingness to let me take a picture was
already a big leap. After a while, I have to tell Master, Madam and
Young Master!

“Second Young Master, the light in the room isn’t good, how about
we go to the balcony to take the picture?” Uncle Liu suggested.

“En.” Bai Chuan obediently walked back to the balcony and stood
there casually.

Uncle Liu originally wanted to take a good shot and strived to make
the picture as perfect as he can. But when his family’s Second Young
Master stood at the balcony casually, Uncle Liu’s tears suddenly
burst in emotion. His family’s Second Young Master just standing
there so casually had already made a perfect scenery, where would
he need his shit technique?

Uncle Liu ‘click click’ took a lot of photos and returned the phone to
Second Young Master, before he reluctantly left with the cold
breakfast away.

With his photo taken, Bai Chuan immediately opened Mu Xiaoya’s

wechat and sent his own photo over. He didn’t continue to read his
book anymore, rather, he stared at his phone so tightly, waiting for
her reply.

At that side, Mu Xiaoya who already prepared her heart to not get
Bai Chuan’s reply, didn’t expect that she would get his reply without
waiting for two minutes to pass.

“Quick, picture, open it quickly!” Before Mu Xiaoya could see it

clearly, some curious classmates clicked on the photo. Suddenly, Bai
Chuan’s appearance was enlarged in full screen in front of
everyone’s eyes.

“Oh my~!”

“Sssshii~~!”

www.asianovel.com
 67 Report
“Mu Xiaoya, your life is too good!”

Suddenly, sounds of exclamation and breath inhaled endlessly fell.

Although it was just this one single photo, it could explain all of Mu
Xiaoya’s unreasonableness to suddenly marry.

Even Fang Hui’s eyes were full of surprise. If it wasn’t for Mu

Xiaoya telling her in the morning, she wouldn’t be able to associate
this handsome young man with bright eyes as an autistic person. If
one was to say something impetuous, it was worth it to marry just
based on this face alone.

Mu Xiaoya always knew that Bai Chuan was good looking, but it
was her first time she discovered that he’s also photogenic. Bai
Chuan in the photo was wearing a casual cotton shirt, his hair was a
little messy like he just woke up from his slumber. He stood against
the light, his eyes were gazing intently to the front, as if looking at
her through the lens.

After everyone has satisfied their curiosity, Mu Xiaoya managed to

get her phone back. She glanced at the silent teenager in the photo
and noticed the breakfast in the lower right corner of the photo.

Frowning slightly, Mu Xiaoya returned a message: ‘The photo is so

handsome, remember to eat breakfast.’

Breakfast? Bai Chuan looked up in confusion, finally noticing the

breakfast placed in front of him.

Bai Chuan: ‘OK’

After replying her chat, Bai Chuan walked back to the table and
started to eat slowly.

I know Bai Chuan is so cute, but Uncle Liu is also cute oh~ (ﾉ∀`♥)

The conversation between the two was interrupted by a few

classmates who suddenly appeared. After getting the certificate,
Fang Hui dragged Mu Xiaoya to a nearby cafe.

“Cappuccino and a slice of black forest cake, you buy it.” Once
they entered the cafe, Fang Hui prompted Mu Xiaoya without a trace
of politeness.

“Alright, big sister, is there anything else?” Mu Xiaoya cooperated

harmoniously.

“That’s all for now, this big sister will add some more after finishing
those.” Fang Hui shook her head like a tsundere, then went to find a
seat inside.

Mu Xiaoya smiled and went to the front desk to buy cakes and
coffee.

Fang Hui took a sip of her coffee and swept a glance to the black
coffee in front of Mu Xiaoya. She frowned, “How can you drink black
coffee, so bitter ah.”

Mu Xiaoya blanked, then soon gave a respond. After going abroad,

she was too busy because of her study and work, she often stayed up
late to catch up with her design draft, so she developed the habit of
drinking black coffee. But she remembered that the her right now
didn’t like drinking it.

“I haven’t slept well recently, this is just right to spike me up.” Mu

Xiaoya casually searched for an excuse.

“Uncle and auntie didn’t agree.” Fang Hui guessed.

www.asianovel.com
 70 Report
“It wasn’t that they disagree, just that they’re still considering it.”

“Consider? When did uncle and aunt ever ‘consider’ your decision
and not just support you wholeheartedly? If they’re considering it,
then that means they disagree.” Fang Hui’s envy was that Mu Xiaoya
has a pair of liberal and democratic-minded parents, unlike her
controlling parents.

“They will agree.” Mu Xiaoya answered confidently.

“There’s no use even if they don’t agree since you already got your
marriage certificate.” Fang Hui said in ridicule.

“That’s right ah.” Mu Xiaoya suddenly remembered that Bai Chuan

also seemed to have said something similar last night, and at once,
she can’t hold back the laughter from her mouth.

“You’re still laughing?” Fang Hui reminded her, “Seriously, Bai

Chuan is autistic, does he even know what marriage is? Marriage
isn’t just a sudden impulse to get certificate, although your
husband’s looks is good, but then you have to spend the rest of your
life with him together ah. And after that, you guys will have
children…ah, does he know how to have children?”

“Fang Hui!” Mu Xiaoya glared at her friend with a huff, at first,

she’s still talking about serious things, how come it got more and
more outrageous the more she talked.

“You guys…did it yet?” As soon as her thoughts deviated, how

could it turn back? Fang Hui wasn’t afraid of Mu Xiaoya glaring at her
as her words became more explicit.

“What are you thinking about?!”

“Ahh, you haven’t.” With just a glance at Mu Xiaoya’s look, Fang

Hui already knew that the newly-married couple was still pure and
indistinguishable from a white paper. “No, I have to check. If that
autistic person can’t do that, you should leave him as soon as

www.asianovel.com
 71 Report
possible ah.” Saying this, Fang Hui really grabbed her phone and
start checking.

“You- enough!” Mu Xiaoya was feeling ashamed and angry as she

grabbed Fang Hui’s phone.

“Okay, okay, won’t tease you anymore.” Fang Hui saw Mu Xiaoya
became anxious and stopped teasing her. “When are you planning to
hold the wedding?”

“Maybe… it won’t be held.” Mu Xiaoya said hesitantly.

“Also, after all, there’s an old person that recently died.” Fang Hui
nodded in understanding.

When referring to Grandma Bai, Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but

glanced at the jade bracelet on her wrist.

“The bracelet on your hand was given by Grandma Bai?” Fang Hui
noticed Mu Xiaoya’s expression and guessed.

“En.” Mu Xiaoya nodded her head.

“This bracelet doesn’t look cheap ah, looks like the elderly was
satisfied with the granddaughter-in-law.” Although Fang Hui didn’t
understand jade, but this kind of flowing water jade, as long as it’s
genuine, the price was definitely not low.

Mu Xiaoya only smiled silently.

“By the way, how about Bai Chuan’s parents’ attitude with you?”
Fang Hui asked again, “Aren’t you going to study abroad next
month? Will his family agree with you going?”

“I… won’t study abroad.” Mu Xiaoya answered.

“You’re not going?” Fang Hui frowned, “You even gave up studying
abroad for Bai Chuan?”

www.asianovel.com
 72 Report
“It’s not for Bai Chuan, I myself don’t want to go anymore. I
thought about it and decided to open a studio with you.” Mu Xiaoya
originally wanted to talk with Fang Hui about it, so she took the
chance as Fang Hui asked.

She and Fang Hui both studied footwear design, but in the second
half of her senior year, when they were about to graduate, she and
Fang Hui made completely different choices. She applied for a post-
graduate degree from SG design institute and intended to continue
her studies.

“You want to open a studio with me? Didn’t you say that it would
be a loss to open a studio with us as unrecognized university
graduates?” Fang Hui was surprised. When she said she wanted to
open a studio, Mu Xiaoya tried to interrupt her. Fang Hui knew Mu
Xiaoya was being worried, but she didn’t care. Actually, she wanted
to open the studio for fun, it didn’t matter if she loses money
because her dad was rich.

“You said it yourself, if you lose money then you just lose money,
anyway, your sister is rich ah.” Mu Xiaoya said exaggeratedly.

In her past life, Fang Hui’s studio wasn’t very successful, and Fang
Hui herself supported the studio with her own money. If it was
before, Mu Xiaoya naturally wouldn’t choose to open a studio with
Fang Hui, but now she just wanted to do a job that she likes and
spend the next four years in ease.

“I almost forgot, you’re married to a rich man now, of course you

won’t lack money~”

“That’s right.” Mu Xiaoya responded with a smile. Actually, she had

some savings. When she was in college, she sold several shoes
design to some manufacturer, after the sum was deducted with her
own spending, they amounted to two-three hundred thousand. It’s
enough to use it as an upfront investment for their studio.

www.asianovel.com
 73 Report
“Then we should go see some rooms this afternoon, how about I
make an appointment with the agent?” With Mu Xiaoya’s joining in,
Fang Hui immediately became full of energy.

“Okay.” Mu Xiaoya readily agreed.

After school, Mu Ruozhou and his wife went to the market to buy
vegetables together, then slowly walked home. When they were
discussing whether to cook meat or fish for dinner, they suddenly
found two people were standing upright in front of their door,
carrying many gift boxes in their hands.

“Teacher Mu, Teacher Shen.”

“Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai?” Mu Ruozhou blanked for a moment, then

realized the other party’s intention of coming to their house.

Although he and his wife somewhat can’t accept their daughter’s

sudden marriage, they still can’t keep people outside their door.

“Teacher Mu, Teacher Shen, regarding the marriage between Xiao

Chuan and Xiaoya, our Bai family has been rude.” As soon as they
entered, Bai Guoyu apologized first.

“Mr. Bai doesn’t need to do this, Xiaoya had told us that the
marriage was her own decision.” Mu Ruozhou wasn’t an
unreasonable person as this matter wasn’t the fault of the Bai family,
instead, it was their own family’s daughter that married herself out.

Bai Guoyu and his wife looked at each other, both of them knew
clearly that although Mu Ruozhou said it politely, he was actually
reluctant to marry his daughter to Bai Chuan. They knew about this
point, and they had already prepared their hearts prior to coming
here.

“Teacher Mu, Teacher Shen, in fact, we’re here today to formally

discuss our children’s marriage.” Li Rong said.

www.asianovel.com
 74 Report
“How do you want to discuss it?” Mu Ruozhou frowned.

“Teacher Mu, Teacher Shen.” Li Rong said sincerely, “ About this

marriage, I know that our Xiao Chuan is unworthy for your Xiaoya, if
Xiaoya was my daughter, I also won’t agree to marry her to an
autistic husband. However, I’m Xiao Chuan’s mother, in my
innermost heart and selfishness, I really wish for this wedding to
continue. And so, we’re here today to seek your consent for our
family’s Xiao Chuan.”

Seeking the approval of the woman’s parents should be done by

the groom himself, but Bai Chuan was an autistic patient, it was
impossible for him to do it, so Bai’s family’s couple can only come
themselves. By chance, this point was what Mu Ruozhou and his wife
minded the most, but they still listened to them patiently.

“Xiao Chuan has autism, he lives in his own world and it was
difficult for anyone to enter it, this is also the point that you’re
worried about. But what we want to tell you is that inside Bai Chuan’s
world, there’s a place for Mu Xiaoya.” Li Rong said, “Bai Chuan’s
grandma said this sentence in her sick bed, she said, Xiao Chuan’s
world is really small, so small that it can only hold himself. But when
he opens up for someone, that person will be his whole world. For our
son, your daughter’s existence has this kind of meaning.”

“Of course we know that what we said have no power to convince

you, hence we brought Xiao Chuan’s doctor with us. If it’s convenient
for you, can you listen to his professional opinion?” Li Rong asked for
their consent.

The doctor in charge of Bai Chuan? Mu Ruozhou and his wife

looked at each other, then agreed with Li Rong’s suggestion.

Bai Chuan’s doctor, Professor Feng, was the leading figure in the
field of Autism. In order to visit Mu family today, Bai Guoyu
personally went to the hospital to invite him, and now, Professor
Feng has been waiting inside the car.

www.asianovel.com
 75 Report
Bai Guoyu went outside and invited Professor Feng in. After a brief
greeting, Professor Feng didn’t rush to introduce Bai Chuan’s
condition, but instead, he put up a few videos regarding Bai Chuan’s
treatment.

In the first video, Bai Chuan was still very small, he looked like he
was seven or eight years old. He was sitting quietly in the chair while
drawing pictures, very focused, he always ignored Professor Feng no
matter how much the Professor wanted to communicate with him,
until Professor Feng asked him, “Is the girl on the painting your
friend?”

“Mu Xiaoya.” Bai Chuan’s childish voice was clearly transmitted

from the video.

In the second video, Bai Chuan had grown a bit, he was about
eleven or twelve years old. He was reading a comic book.

“Xiao Chuan, why do you suddenly want to read comic book?”

Bai Chuan didn’t give a reaction.

“Is this comic book interesting?”

Bai Chuan didn’t care.

“Who bought this book for you?”

Bai Chuan replied after a moment passed, “Xiaoya.”

Later, two-three videos were played one after another, most of the
content were familiar with each other: when Professor Feng had no
way to communicate with Bai Chuan, as long as he mentioned Mu
Xiaoya, Bai Chuan would then give some responses.

Professor Feng later explained, “I have come across many children

with autism. Some of them do not speak at all, some can’t even
recognize their own family, a minority of them would express their

www.asianovel.com
 76 Report
desires, and very few of them have recovered to Bai Chuan’s
condition. Bai Chuan’s recovery can be said as a miracle in the
medical records that I studied, and it was because he almost
recovered his ability to socialize.”

“Of course there’s still a gap between this ability with that of a
normal person, but as long as he’s willing to go out, he’s entirely
capable of living independently.” Professor Feng said, “The reason
why he can recover well is because there’s a window between his
world and ours. This window, most autistic patients may not have in
their lifetimes, but Bai Chuan is very fortunate to have two of this
window.”

“One is Grandma Bai, and the other one is Mu Xiaoya.”

Mu Ruozhou and his wife’s mood became complicated, and they

can’t help but looked again at the last frame of the video. In the
video, Bai Chuan who looked like a teenager, was painting. On the
drawing paper was the back of a girl, she was sitting on the grass
and looked at the distance, colorful flowers cushioned her puffy skirt.
The colour of the painting was bright and lively, the brilliant joy
appeared vividly from the paper.

That was Mu Xiaoya in Bai Chuan’s eyes.

　　”Xiaoya is very important to our family’s Xiao Chuan, but we

also know that this shouldn’t be the reason why Xiaoya must marry
Xiao Chuan. We asked Professor Feng to come here. We didn’t want
to use this to gain sympathy. We just want to prove to you that there
is a special friendship between these two children. They got married
because of this friendship. “

　　”Of course, if you don’t agree with this marriage, we fully

understand. But if you’re willing to give Xiao Chuan a chance, our Bai
family will be very grateful. I and Xiao Chuan’s father will definitely
treat Xiaoya like our own daughter and protect her like Xiao Chuan.”

　　”And we can assure you that if one day Xiaoya feels tired and
doesn’t want to stay with the Bai family anymore, she can leave at
any time.”

　　Bai Chuan’s parents and Professor Feng have left for some
time, but Mu Ruozhou and his wife, Shen Qingyi’s moods wouldn’t
calm. They sat idle as their minds constantly echoed the words Bai
Chuan’s mother said before she left.

　　They were both parents, and they naturally appreciate Bai

Chuan’s parents’ love for Bai Chuan. Not to mention that Bai Chuan
was almost their child as they watched him grow up. Even if he was a
strange child, they were also moved when they saw Bai Chuan’s care
for their daughter in the treatment videos. Bai Chuan is an autistic
patient, but he had the courage to step out and embrace the world.

　　Obviously, Bai Chuan’s family, like them, didn’t think this
marriage will last for a long time. They were ready for Xiaoya to
leave at any time. He and his wife were afraid that Xiaoya will be hurt
in this marriage, but Bai Chuan’s parents weren’t afraid of Bai Chuan
being hurt.

　　Bai Chuan’s mother last remarks almost gave Xiaoya all the
dominance in this marriage. With Bai Chuan’s affection towards
Xiaoya, he will never break up this marriage, but Xiaoya could leave
at any time. This was equivalent to them acquiesced to the harm that
Xiaoya might do to Bai Chuan. What great trust, what great sincerity.
Mu Ruozhou only felt heavy.

　　”Ya, you’re home?!” Mu Xiaoya cried out in fear. She just

returned home and found the house was completely dark. She
thought her parents had gone to school to watch the students study
in the evening. Who knew that when the lights were turned on, the
two sat on the sofa and scared her into a cold sweat.

　　”Why didn’t you turn on the light, it scared me.” Mu Xiaoya

covered her small heart and collapsed on the sofa weakly.

　　Mu Ruozhou glanced at the scene of his daughter throwing her

slippers to the other side of the living room and his mood was even
more complicated. How could this girl, who was usually unsightly at
home, how did she force her way through billions of people’s worlds
and ran into Bai Chuan’s world? Why was Bai Chuan attracted by this
girl to the point of looking out of his world?

　　”Mom, what are we eating for dinner? I’ve been running

around all afternoon. I’m so hungry now.” This afternoon, she and
Fang Hui looked at more than a dozen places but didn’t find a
suitable one. At last, they were so tired that they weren’t hungry. But
when she returned home, Mu Xiaoya had some appetite.

　　”I’ll cook you some noodles.” Shen Qingyi stood up helplessly.

www.asianovel.com
 79 Report
　　”Thank you, mom. Two eggs.”

　　Shen Qingyi went to the kitchen, sorted the vegetables she

bought earlier and put them away in the refrigerator. Then she
simply cooked three bowls of noodles.

　　After eating the noodles, Mu Xiaoya also recovered some

strength. She took the initiative to stand up to help clean up, washed
the dishes, and finished cleaning the kitchen. Mu Xiaoya wiped her
hands before walking out, before she went cold when she suddenly
heard her father, “Wait a minute, make an appointment with Bai
Chuan’s family so we can formally meet.”

　　”?!” Mu Xiaoya was stunned for a long time before returning to

her senses. “Dad, do you agree with my marriage with Bai Chuan?”

　　”Humph!” Mu Ruozhou humph and went into the study and

didn’t look at Mu Xiaoya, as if it wasn’t him who just spoke.

　　”Mom?” Mu Xiaoya went and glanced at her mother again.

　　”Go and make an appointment.” Shen Qingyi smiled. When Bai

Chuan’s parents left in the afternoon, she knew her husband would
agree.

　　”Mom, thank you.” Mu Xiaoya ran to hug her mother tightly.

No matter in her last life or this life, whether it was her decision to
stay abroad for professional development or deciding her own life-
long event, her parents always supported and love her without
reservation.

　　Back in the room, Mu Xiaoya was going to call the Bai family
and tell them her parents agreed. But when she opened her
cellphone’s address book, Mu Xiaoya’s fingers stopped on Bai
Chuan’s mother’s contact for a moment, then suddenly swiped and
finally pressed Bai Chuan’s contact.

www.asianovel.com

　　During the day, Bai Chuan responded in a timely manner on
WeChat and this was the same when he answered the phone.

　　Before Mu Xiaoya could turn over her thoughts, the phone was
connected

　　”Xiaoya.” Bai Chuan’s voice was soft and deep. It sounded

different from communicating to him face-to-face. Bai Chuan’s voice
at this time seemed to be whispering in her ear.

　　”Bai Chuan, I have something to tell you, and I need you to

convey it to your mother.” Mu Xiaoya said.

　　”Xiao Chuan.”

　　”En?” Mu Xiaoya froze.

　　”Yesterday … you called me Xiao Chuan.” There was an

inconspicuous stubbornness in Bai Chuan’s voice.

　　”…” Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but hold her forehead in

response. Wasn’t this guy symmetrical, why did he particularly mind
how she called him? Although she was helpless in her heart, Mu
Xiaoya followed Bai Chuan’s wishes to change the way she addresses
him: “Xiao Chuan.”

　　”En.” Bai Chuan replied seriously at first, then asked, “What

did you want to convey?”

　　“My parents agreed to our marriage. Please let aunt and uncle
make an appointment.” Mu Xiaoya said.

　　”OK.” After speaking, Bai Chuan turned off the phone.

　　He neither expressed joy nor surprise and was even somewhat
impolite. Mu Xiaoya was slightly uncomfortable. However, on second
thought, this was quite a good response with Bai Chuan’s personality.
How could she expect him to be as courteous as ordinary people.

　　Mu Xiaoya was relieved over there, but Bai Chuan was
stunned. He held his cellphone and spent more than ten minutes in
his room digesting the news. Then he turned around without saying a
word and went downstairs.

　　”Little tw…two?” The first person to discover Bai Chuan was

Uncle Li who was about to go upstairs and deliver fruit to Bai Chuan.
The three Bai family members who were discussing something in the
living room immediately turned to look at him.

　　Bai Chuan ignored Uncle Li and focused going down the stairs.
He walked step by step steadily and slowly. If someone measured the
time, they would discover that the time Bai Chuan spent at every
step was the same.

　　They didn’t dare interrupt him, instead they held their breaths
and waited for him to come down. Until he reached the last step, Bai
Chuan suddenly looked up and his eyes burned as he stared towards
the direction of the living room.

　　Father Bai, Mother Bai and Bai Zheng, the three immediately
straightened their backs nervously. Bai Zheng held floral tea in his
hand that he wanted to drink, but he didn’t dare put it down, as if he
was afraid that the sound would stimulate Bai Chuan and could only
hold it upright the entire time.

　　Did you come to us?

　　Yes.

　　Until Bai Chuan stopped in front of the three of them, the three
didn’t dare say so.

　　”Xiao Chuan?” Bai Chuan suddenly came to find them, and Li

Rong’s excited voice trembled. She asked carefully, “Are you looking
for us?”

　　Bai Chuan blinked, glanced down at the cell phone that he

www.asianovel.com

held in his hand, then his brain seemed to make the connection and
replied, “Xiaoya said her parents agreed and to let you make an
appointment.”

　　”Oh, Xiaoya’s parents agreed, what?! They agreed?” Li Rong

was too excited and didn’t pay attention to her volume.

　　”Be quiet, you’re scaring Xiao Chuan.” Father Bai and Bai
Zheng both reminded her nervously.

　　Li Rong was also startled. She covered her mouth and looked
at Bai Chuan fearfully. She was afraid that Bai Chuan, who wouldn’t
easily approach and communicate with them, would be scared away.

　　“Make an appointment.” Bai Chuan wasn’t afraid. Not only

wasn’t he afraid, but even repeated his request clearly.

　　”What?”

　　”Make an appointment?” Bai Chuan frowned.

　　”Oh, oohhh~ Okay, mother understands.” Li Rong quickly

agreed.

　　Bai Chuan looked relaxed, then continued to stare at Li Rong,

not talking or leaving.

　　”…” Li Rong was confused and looked at her husband and

eldest son in doubt.

　　”Make an appointment.” Bai Zheng reminded.

　　Haven’t you already agreed? Li Rong was surprised at first, but

fortunately, she was quick to respond with her high EQ and
immediately understood: “Make an appointment, yes make an
appointment. Make an appointment now.”

　　Li Rong pulled out her cellphone on the spot, and while

www.asianovel.com
 83 Report
checking the date, she said to her husband and son: “When can you
guys go?”

　　”I’ll ask my assistant.” Bai Guoyu called the assistant.

　　”I’ll ask the secretary.” Bai Zheng called the secretary.

　　”Are you free on Saturday?” Li Rong asked.

　　”No, I have an appointment with Li Dong on Saturday to

discuss cooperation.” Bai Guoyu said.

　　”Sunday?”

　　”I’m going to Beijing for a business trip on Sunday.” Bai Zheng

replied.

　　”Push it!” Li Rong frowned. Was it more important to go to her

son’s marriage or on a business trip?

　　”Push it all!” When the madam spoke, the father and son
didn’t dare retort. At the same time, they understood on the spot and
gave an order to the assistant/secretary on the other end of the
phone and hung up simultaneously.

　　”Then Saturday or Sunday?” Li Rong asked again.

　　”Either.”

　　”Then Saturday, Hyatt Hotel, I’ll book a private room.” Then, Li

Rong found the Hyatt Hotel Manager’s phone number and booked
Saturday for dinner on the spot.

　　”Yes, reservation for this Saturday, at 7 pm, at the Hyatt Hotel

for the full moon room.” Once Li Rong confirmed, she couldn’t wait to
tell Bai Chuan the time and place.

　　The information was completely received, and Bai Chuan was

satisfied. He turned around on the spot and left without a trace.

www.asianovel.com
 84 Report
　　The three members of the Bai family held their necks and
watched Bai Chuan walk back to the bedroom. They looked at each
other with incredulous faces.

　　”Did Xiao Chuan take the initiative to speak to us just now?” Li

Rong couldn’t believe what just happened.

　　”En and also said a few words.” Bai Guoyu was equally
excited.

　　”Every response only took five seconds.” There was joy on Bai
Zheng’s face. It can be regarded as the effect of Mu Xiaoya’s
treatment.

　　…

　　Back in the bedroom, Bai Chuan sat in a chair on the balcony,

turned on his cellphone, then edited the message he just received via
text and entered it into the chat box. He read it three or four times,
then sent the message once he verified that the punctuation was
correct. After sending it, he silently stared at the cellphone, waiting
for a reply.

　　However, Mu Xiaoya seemed to be busy and didn’t reply back

immediately. Fortunately, Bai Chuan wasn’t in a hurry. He held his
cellphone and waited patiently.

　　Finally, about twenty minutes later, the cellphone lit up, as

well as Bai Chuan’s eyes.

　　Mu Xiaoya: Did you already make the appointment so soon?

　　Bai Chuan: En.

　　Mu Xiaoya: OK, I’ll tell my parents later.

　　Bai Chuan: En.

www.asianovel.com
 85 Report
　　Mu Xiaoya: See you on Saturday.

　　Bai Chuan: En.

　　Mu Xiaoya: Can you use other words besides en?

　　Bai Chuan stared at this message for about ten seconds, then
suddenly opened the Baidu dictionary option: Okay, yes that’s right,
okay got it, I understand, see you then, even if we don’t see each
other, don’t give up and leave, OK, seeyou…

　　Originally, Mu Xiaoya just wanted to tease Bai Chuan, but after

looking at the long series of alternative words to en, she immediately
burst into tears and sent a long string of ellipsis to express her
complicated emotions.1So that means she typed back: ……………..

　　Bai Chuan: I don’t understand.

　　Without words, Bai Chuan couldn’t understand the meaning of

this message from Mu Xiaoya.

　　Mu Xiaoya: Praising the cute you.

　　Bai Chuan’s eyes lit up again: Thank you.

　　”Puzi~~” Mu Xiaoya’s hair was wet when she saw Bai Chuan’s
reply in her bedroom, then fell straight into bed.

　　Why didn’t she notice that Bai Chuan was so cute before?

　　As soon as this thought emerge, Mu Xiaoya was surprised to

find that since she went to university, she rarely paid much attention
to Bai Chuan. If she added both of her lives, it was almost eight
years.

In the peak of summer, Mu Xiaoya and Fang Hui ran to more than
10 places until they finally found a suitable place for their studio.

“Although this place look a bit lacking now, but the surrounding’s
several estates were all newly opened high-end real estate, so it’s
not bad to buy or rent a house in here.” Fang Hui explained, “Our
studio later will go with the non-mainstream and superior custom-
made design, the group of customers happened to be this type too.
Wait until another half a year, the houses will almost be sold out and
it will be lively here, then we’ll have our own customer’s flow
patronizing our studio.”

“Ms. Fang really has a good vision. The place you choose now is
the best location in this area as it’s next to two high-end
neighborhoods, there’s also a shopping mall in the past two
intersections that will be opened in a month.” The real estate agency
saw that the two had the intention to rent so he immediately spared
no effort to recommend it, “Although it’s not currently really popular,
but as miss Fang said, it will be lively in another half a year, and you
won’t be worried with the customer flow then.”

Mu Xiaoya nodded her head and asked, “What about the price?”

“Aiya, the price can’t be lowered anymore. To be honest with you,

the company had already issued the notice to raise the price next
month, so if you two want to rent, you should take the chance and
sign it as soon as you can.” The agent looked anxious as if he was
the one who wanted to rent the place himself.

Fang Hui raised her eyebrows towards Mu Xiaoya, asking for her
opinion.

www.asianovel.com
 87 Report
“I like this place, we’ll rent it.” Mu Xiaoya answered.

“Okay, let’s sign the contract.” Fang Hui immediately clapped her
hands.

The two signed the rent lease on the spot. The rent was for three
years, with one month guarantee deposit for each three months rent.
After they swiped the card and paid for a quarter year, the agent
leave them the keys and left the place full of joy.

“The rent is so expensive.” After paying the bill and holding the
contract in her hands, Fang Hui suddenly started to feel hurt inside.

“Now you’re hurting, but I didn’t see you hesitate just now ah.
Actually, the place before was also not bad.”

“Wasn’t it because of you?” Fang Hui jabbed Mu Xiaoya, “Didn’t

you say that you have a good vision once you entered here? And that
you’d be more inspired to draw more designs here in the future? How
can I dare not to rent ah?”

Mu Xiaoya rubbed her head and laughed, she really liked this
place. The location they chose was just at the intersection of two-
three lined avenues, the community park was just diagonally
opposite them. The road was full of lush trees and flowers as it was
mid-summer at this time, and the vegetation was blooming
energetically. She can feel herself refreshed just by looking at these
two line of roads.

“Fang Hui, when we go back and start decorating, let’s install a

floor-to-ceiling window here.” Mu Xiaoya pointed to the corner facing
the street, “Then we’ll install a small bar here and a few sofas. If
there are guests coming, they can sit here to rest.”

“Make a small indoor cafe?”

“Uh-huh.” Mu Xiaoya nodded her head enthusiastically.

www.asianovel.com
 88 Report
“Oooo… you don’t need money anymore ah.” Fang Hui sneered.

“I’ll work hard to make money.” Mu Xiaoya promised with a fist up

in the air.

“Wait until you make a profit then you can say this again. Now,
everything has to be economical and practical at the highest
standard possible.” Fang Hui relentlessly rejected.

“Oh.” Mu Xiaoya also knew that the initial fund for

entrepreneurship were limited and she can only give up regretfully.

“Come, come, come, let’s take a picture and send it to the group
chat.” Fang Hui took out her phone excitedly. The two stood at the
empty gate, completing the very first photo with their studio.

‘H&Y Studio was officially established.’

After writing the caption, the two people sent it to their circle of
friends and immediately attracted a group of students who were
struggling to find a job.

Classmate A: ‘Dang! I sent a hundred resumes and only received

five calls back. But you guys became the boss themselves!’

Classmate B: ‘Boss, are you recruiting? I can serve tea and water
besides designing oh.’

Classmate C: ‘Boss, I have one more skill than upstairs, I can tell
jokes!’

Classmate B: ‘Roll out!’

Fang Hui laughed and responded one by one while sending several
rounds of red envelopes to her classmates. After losing more than a
hundred yuan, she finally appeased those jealous hyenas.

“Why didn’t you talk in the group ah, making me send red

www.asianovel.com
 89 Report
envelopes by myself, I already lost more than a hundred ah.”

“We only have one representative to send out red envelopes ah, if
I also join in the chat, I have to send out a hundred more. Might as
well go silent to help you reduce losses.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“What loss?”

“I’m feeling lucky, I’ll help you loot back fifty yuan, dinner’s on
me.” Mu Xiaoya shook her phone proudly as she had just took
several rounds of lucky gambles.

“What are you pleased for? That’s still my money ah.” Fang Hui
gritted her teeth.

At night, the two people who had to send out red envelopes, finally
took back fifty for themselves, so each person ate one bowl of
noodles.

“I finally understand the hardship of starting a business. This is just

the beginning and I can only eat noodles.” Fang Hui lamented.

“There are ribs besides noodles.” Mu Xiaoya watched Fang Hui

shouting pitifully, then clipped a piece of rib from her bowl to hers.

“I feel at ease after renting this studio, but when I think that the
rent is calculated everyday, I can only feel more anxious oh.” Fang
Hui sighed while gnawing on a mouthful of ribs.

“I say, how can you suddenly feel so stressed out? You didn’t have
the same look as when you first said that you wanted to start a
business.”

“It’s not the same now.” Fang Hui said.

“What’s different?”

“When I said I wanted to start a business you didn’t say that you’re

www.asianovel.com
 90 Report
gonna participate. It’s okay if I lose my own money, but now you
have invested your money in, how can I not be anxious?”

“Calm down, it’s nothing more than making a profit. My

requirement isn’t high, as long as we don’t lose money then
everything’s alright.” Mu Xiaoya soothed her.

“This requirement isn’t high ah?” Fang Hui’s fur flared up.

“Alright, alright, I’ll lower my requirement.” Mu Xiaoya laughed, “I

don’t care about that 300 thousand yuan, I’ll just let Bai Chuan
support me.”

“Someone has amazing provider oh.” Fang Hui rolled her eyes,
resentfully breathed in more air and calmed herself down, then
suddenly she remembered something, “Isn’t tomorrow the day when
your parents formally meet?”

“En.” Mu Xiaoya nodded her head.

“Then, what do you think would happen tomorrow?” Fang Hui

couldn’t help but start to gossip.

“Whatever situation it’d be, it can still be tackled ah.” Mu Xiaoya

said in unease, “My parents already gave their approval, this meeting
between the heads of the families is just a mere formality.”

“Then, where will you live with Bai Chuan? Living in Bai family’s
house, or living separately?” Fang Hui asked, “This matter must be
discussed tomorrow.”

Mu Xiaoya frowned. Bai Chuan said that he wanted them to live

together, but her parents still didn’t agree with their marriage at that
time, so she also didn’t give it a thought. Now that both parents
agreed, then this matter was bound to be mentioned.

“Bai Chuan has autism, his family certainly won’t agree to let him
live outside. I think you’re gonna have to live in the Bai’s house.”

www.asianovel.com
 91 Report
Without waiting for Mu Xiaoya’s answer, Fang Hui continued to
analyze.

“Of course they would be worried.” Mu Xiaoya understood about

this point.

“You’re very understanding ah, they won’t have to be worried

since you’re not going to be cruel to him.”

“What are you exaggerating about? Bai CHuan’s family are all
good people.”

“You know, the problem between mother and daughter in law is

because you guys are living together and thus will create some small
frictions ah.” Fang Hui said, “Bai Chuan has autism, his parents of
course will worry for him, they won’t be able to keep their eyes on
both of you. Whenever you make mistake, they’re gonna restraint
themselves and keept it inside, and after it accumulate over a long
period of time, then of course something will go amiss.”

“I’m just married, can you not instill negative energy on me?” To
be honest, when she first agreed to Bai Chuan’s proposal, she really
didn’t consider about this ‘problem with mother-in-law’ matter.

“If you can’t endure it anymore, then how would you spend your
days at the Bai family’s house ah, how pitiful.” Fang Hui shook her
head and sighed.

“I say, why can’t you guys be optimistic about me and Bai Chuan
ah? Am I so lacking?” Mu Xiaoya wondered, how come everyone were
against them ever since they announced their marriage? Even
Grandma Bai who wanted them to marry told them to think about it
clearly. When she was in the cemetery, Bai Chuan’s mother even
hinted that she could regret it later, there’s no need to say what her
parents would say, after thinking about it for two days, and since
what’s done can’t be undone, they then reluctantly agreed to it.

www.asianovel.com
 92 Report
“It’s not that you’re lacking, but the road you chose to take is a
very difficult one.” Fang Hui paused and shook her head, “Forget it,
you’re already married, I shouldn’t be telling you these.”

“I know what you’re worried about, don’t worry ah, I’ve really
thought about it.” Mu Xiaoya smiled. She knew Fang Hui was kind,
and also knew what everyone was worried about. In fact, she had
seen how Grandma Bai hid herself to cry because of taking care of
Bai Chuan, and it wasn’t just once. Mu Xiaoya felt that she can’t be
as strong as Grandma Bai and take care of Bai Chuan all her life, she
agreed to this marriage only because she only had to take care of
him for four years ah. Four years wasn’t long, she can’t promise for a
lifetime together with him, but Mu Xiaoya can persist for four years.

“Then, I won’t worry about it. I just want to tell you, no matter if
you have thought about it carefully or not, if anything happen in the
future, this sister will stand by your side.” Fang Hui promised with a
pat on her chest.

“Thank you oh, sister.” Mu Xiaoya laughed.

-Saturday-

At 6.50 pm, Mu Xiaoya and her parents appeared on time at the

Full Moon room of Hyatt Hotel to meet with the Bai family.

Both sides were reasonable people, and furthermore, since they

had long-standing relationship, the atmosphere was harmonious.
After a brief greeting, the two sides both took their own seats.

The four members of the Bai family sat on the left side of the round
table, while the three members of the Mu family sat on the right side.

“Teacher Mu, today…” Bai Guoyu was about to say something,

when at this moment, Bai Chuan who was sitting at the end suddenly
stood up.

This abrupt move by Bai Chuan immediately caught everyone’s

www.asianovel.com
 93 Report
attention. The Mu family only felt strange as they didn’t know what
Bai Chuan wanted to do. However, the Bai family was worried
because today’s occasion was very important, they were afraid that
Bai Chuan would do something and leave a bad impression on Mu
Xiaoya’s parents and make them hesitate with this marriage.

Even Bai Zheng who always felt indifferent whether Bai Chuan and
Mu Xiaoya can be together or not became on guard. ly, Bai Zheng
felt that even without Mu Xiaoya, their family can still take care of Bai
Chuan well, but that day he saw the videos that his parents brought
back. After Bai Zheng watched them, he couldn’t fall asleep for a
long time. Although he was unwilling, but he had to admit that Mu
Xiaoya was really important to his brother.

Bai Zheng closely watched his brother’s actions, and was ready to
stop him immediately if he saw him do something wrong.

But Bai Chuan didn’t do anything. He only stood up, walked around
his seat under everyone’s gaze, then pushed the chair in. After doing
all this, he turned to look at Mu Xiaoya who wasn’t so far from him,
walked to her and pulled out the chair next to her…

And sat down.

“…”

It turned out he wanted to sit together with Mu Xiaoya.

At once, the Mu’s couple smiled, while the Bai family’s three
people let out a full body of sweats.

TL NOTE:

I’m sure the Mu’s couple’s heart will be melted by Bai Chuan
before long. (*бωб)

After the dinner had went on for sometime, the two families finally
passed the awkward period and slowly became more familiar, the
topic also changed from the ‘national livelihood’ to the two children’s
marriage’s life.

“In the future ah, you guys have to forgive our family’s Xiaoya. This
girl ah, she had been spoiled rotten by me from when she’s still
small.” The parents from both side had also changed from boasting
about their children to revealing their inadequacies.

“In-law, what are you talking about? Xiaoya will be my daughter-in-

law in the future, of course I have to spoil her too.” The names in
which they called each other had also evolved from Teacher Shen or
Madam Bai to ‘in-law’.

Although the topic had turned to herself, but Mu Xiaoya still didn’t
interrupt and continued eating her food silently.

“Ah, that’s right, there’s still something that we want to ask

Xiaoya.”

“En?” Hearing her name called, Mu Xiaoya looked up in a hurry.

“This girl only knows how to eat. The adults are talking to you ah.”
Shen Qingyi gave her a scornful look.

Mu Xiaoya embarrassedly put down her chopsticks and smirked at

her parents, “Auntie, please talk if there’s anything, I’m listening.”

“Still calling ‘auntie’ ah?” Li Rong looked at Xiaoya while dropping

a hint towards her.

www.asianovel.com
 96 Report
“Cough… mother.” Mu Xiaoya changed her form of address with a
red face.

Li Rong suddenly felt happy, smiling until her eyes became a slit
and then said, “It’s like this, I know you young couple like living by
yourselves, so I have discussed with your dad; if you and Xiao Chuan
want to live by yourselves, then we can help to prepare the house in
advance.”

“??” Mu Xiaoya was taken aback. She never expected that Bai
Chuan’s family would offer her and Bai Chuan to live without them.

Not only was she surprised, but Mu Ruozhou and his wife also felt
that it was unexpected. Of course they wanted their daughter to live
by themselves after marriage so they could move around easily. But
with Bai Chuan’s circumstances, how could the Bai family be rest
assured leaving him alone with their daughter? Thinking about it
from another perspective, if it was Mu Xiaoya that had autism, they
themselves won’t agree, and therefore, they never thought nor
mentioned about it. It was really unexpected that the Bai family took
the initiative and brought this topic.

“That’s right ah, Xiaoya, what kind of house do you like? I’ll let Bai
Zheng buy it for you.” Bai Guoyu said.

“Yeah, I’ll handle it.” Bai Zheng also nodded.

“I… I…” Mu Xiaoya turned her head to look at Bai Chuan

subconsciously, but she saw Bai Chuan was lowering his head, still
immersed in his own world and gave no reaction towards her gaze.

“It’s okay, you can make the decision. Bai Chuan would have no
problem with this.” At this point, Li Rong still understood her own
son. As long as Mu Xiaoya was with him, he won’t mind where he
lives. What’s more, from his abrupt moment just now, Bai Chuan
suddenly started to be silent again. If Mu Xiaoya wasn’t even given
the right to make this decision, how could they reassured her

www.asianovel.com
 97 Report
parents?

Mu Xiaoya also knew that Bai Chuan couldn’t give his advice, so
she pondered about it and answered, “Ma, I want to live at your
house for a period of time. After I become more familiar with Bai
Chuan, then we’ll move out to live by ourselves, is it alright?”

“Alright, of course it’s alright.” Li Rong was so happy that she

immediately agreed.

Although Li Rong had already discussed with her husband and was
willing to let Bai Chuan live alone, but nevertheless, she’s still
worried deep in her heart. She was afraid if Bai Chuan suddenly had
a fit where she couldn’t see him. Although she believed that Mu
Xiaoya would work hard to take care of Bai Chuan, but Mu Xiaoya still
had no experience dealing with Bai Chuan’s illness, she’s afraid that
Bai Chuan would scare away Mu Xiaoya.

But it wasn’t good for her to bring this topic with Mu Xiaoya, she’s
afraid that if she said it, Mu Xiaoya would think that they don’t trust
her enough. Moreover, Professor Feng also said that by giving them a
free environment, it would make Bai Chuan feel more relaxed and
was beneficial to his recovery. So, despite some worries, the three of
them made the decision to let Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan live alone.

But now that Mu Xiaoya was willing to live in the Bai family for a
while to adapt herself with Bai Chuan’s condition, this not only give
them some transition time, but also reassured them that Mu Xiaoya
was serious about Bai Chuan’s illness. How can they not agree to this
when they’re this happy?

“Then with this, we’ll prepare the house first. You can move in
whenever you want to.” Bai Guoyu said cheerfully.

After talking about this topic, the decision had been made, the
atmosphere around the dinner table was completely relaxed. The
fathers of the two families continued their idle chat about state

www.asianovel.com
 98 Report
affairs and people’s livelihood, while the mothers talked about skin
care. Bai Zheng felt a bit famished at this time, so he picked up his
chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.

Then, the others also started to eat. At this time, Mu Xiaoya

already ate some food, she turned her head to observe Bai Chuan
and found that he’s still immersed in his own world with his head
down, the plate in front still held the fish slices that Mu Xiaoya just
picked for him.

Do I wake him up or not? He’s still not eating anything.

Mu Xiaoya hesitated, wavering between waking him up or not

interfering with his immersing in his own world. She remembered
what Grandma Bai had said before. She said that Bai Chuan had
scholar syndrome, so sometimes he would become silent, not caring
about people around him. It was likely that he was thinking about
something, you just need to wait for him until he’s finished, then he
would wake up by himself.

Forget it, just let him think, I’ll just help him pack some food to eat
later. Mu Xiaoya thought like this, but the chopsticks in her hand kept
picking food and placed them in Bai Chuan’s plate, silently trying to
awaken Bai Chuan with a plate full of dishes.

Bai Chuan knew that Mu Xiaoya was helping him picking the
dishes. He wasn’t immersed in his own world, nor was he thinking
about some problem. His hands were clenching into tight fists, hiding
under the tablecloth, struggling to endure the noise that only he
could hear.

In the last twenty minutes, Bai Chuan heard an ear-piercing

scratching sound, which was the sound of a lamp on the ceiling
behind him. The harsh sound was caused by aging wires and poor
circuits and the sound was really grating on his ear, he was on
tenterhooks and his head felt a burst of pain.

www.asianovel.com
 99 Report
But Bai Chuan knew that it was only him alone in this room that
felt uncomfortable. Bai Chuan was really familiar with this kind of
scene as he already experienced it several times before, so he
became irritable if he ever heard these baffling noises.

Just turn off the sound, just turn off the light and everything would
be okay. If it was before, Bai Chuan would immediately stand up and
cut off all the power in the room so all these annoying sounds could
disappear. But now he can’t do as he likes, he’s trying to restrain the
painful urge inside of him.

Before, when he suddenly stood up and made such a move, the

people around him would always looked at him with strange eyes.
Although he didn’t care, but today wasn’t the same, today he can’t
make any mistake. His family had told him before they came here
that he had to perform well at tonight’s dinner, he must not make
any mistake and leave bad impressions on Xiaoya’s parents.

He can’t make any mistake, he can’t make Xiaoya’s parents look at

him with strange eyes.

So he worked hard enduring himself from twenty minutes ago, he

tried to ignore those sounds, but those scratching and ripping sounds
became louder and even more frequent, as if an electric drill was
going crazy inside his brain. He felt uncomfortable, too
uncomfortable that he can’t think anymore, feeling like all of his
blood was flowing backwards, so uncomfortable that he wanted to
smash things apart.

No, you can’t, you can’t let the outbreak to happen.

“Screech~” it sounded again, why isn’t that lamp smashed yet?

“Screech~” so uncomfortable, when can he leave this place?

“Screech~” Xiaoya is near me, don’t get close to me, don’t see my
abnormality.

Bai Chuan bit his lips desperately, lowering his face and trying to
hid his expression, but he couldn’t hide the natural reaction of his
body as he’s sweating bullets.

Mu Xiaoya suddenly noticed something was wrong, she noticed Bai

Chuan’s shirt pressing against his skin was full of sweat. Although it
was summer, but the air conditioner was turned on inside this room,
and even if you eat hotpot, it’s impossible to let out this much sweat,
how come Bai Chuan sweat this much?

“Xiao Chuan?” Mu Xiaoya wanted to touch Bai Chuan.

“Bang!” Bai Chuan suddenly got up and ducked away, turning

around to prevent Mu Xiaoya from seeing him. However, this action
exposed the sweat on his back even more, his whole person looked
like he was drenched in rain.

How could others not notice this? The Bai families’ faces changed
at once, looking at the appearance of Bai Chuan, they knew that he’s
on the verge of collapsing.

“Xiao Chuan, what happened with you? Are you uncomfortable?”

Mu Xiaoya was going to pull Bai Chuan’s hand again.

“Don’t come over!” Bai Chuan didn’t want Mu Xiaoya to see his
illness breaking out, he shoved her without looking back. Mu Xiaoya
was taken by surprise, staggered and bumped into the table. The
teacups and plates on the table’s edge fell and shattered to pieces
on the floor.

“Xiaoya!” Shen Qingyi hurried to help her daughter.

Suddenly, the painful cry of Mu Xiaoya, the shattering of

porcelains, the alarmed shout of Shen Qingyi and the never vanishing
scratching sounds finally crumbled Bai Chuan’s utmost restrain.

“AAAA!!” Bai Chuan beat his own head in a frenzy, screaming

without a pause.

It’s so noisy, don’t quarrel anymore, disappear, all voices just
disappear!

Bai Chuan grabbed everything his hands could touch, slamming

them hard at the wall lamp that kept making those jarring noises,
However, it was useless no matter how much he smashed it, and the
more ineffective it was, the more he pound and smash…

In the midst of loud crackling sounds, in just a short while, half of

the plates and bowls on the table were shattered.

“Xiao Chuan?!” Mu Xiaoya was screaming in panic as she wanted

to go and stop Bai Chuan, Shen Qingyi was afraid that her daughter
would be hurt so she and her husband pulled Mu Xiaoya in place.

“Bai Zheng, quickly stop Xiao Chuan!” Bai Guoyu shouted.

There’s no need for Bai Zheng to be reminded as he already

rushed over when Bai Chuan first acted. He forcibly hugged the
manic Bai Chuan and prevented him from grabbing more plates on
the table.

At this time, the waiter rushed in and was shocked to see the
shattered things on the floor.

“Hurry up, turn off the light!” Li Rong yelled with anxiousness to

the waiter standing at the door.

The waiter didn’t know why, but he still obediently turned off the
lights.

As soon as the wall light was turned off, Bai Chuan’s struggles
finally eased immediately.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, the lights are off.” While Bai Zheng was
calming his brother down, his heart hurt when he saw Bai Chuan’s
hands that were cut by the sharp porcelain pieces.

“Go to the hospital.” Bai Guoyu sighed.

The wounds on Bai Chuan’s hands were just skin-deep, it will be

fine after a simple bandage. But Bai Chuan’s mood was really down,
he sat listlessly on the chair outside of emergency room and he won’t
move no matter who called or shouted at him.

The group of people had no choice but to accompany him.

Bai Guoyu, while distressing over his son, he also felt ashamed
towards Mu Xiaoya’s parents. He never expected that Bai Chuan
would suddenly got sick when both of their families met for the first
time. Also, he pushed Mu Xiaoya, how can her parents be rest-
assured to give their daughter to them?

“In-law, I’m sorry about this.” Bai Guoyu apologized for his son.

“It’s alright, Bai Chuan didn’t mean it.” Mu Ruozhou waved his
hand, but the expression on his face wasn’t as relaxed as what he
was saying.

“In-law, Xiao Chuan rarely broke out with his illness, today is a
special situation, it’s possible that there’s something wrong with the
lamp.” Li Rong also explained, but she still felt that her explanation
was too weak, how can the problem lies with the lamp? The problem
is Xiao Chuan.

Bai Zheng didn’t speak, he only leaned against the corridor and
stared at Bai Chuan and Mu Xiaoya from afar.

“Does your hands hurt?” Mu Xiaoya asked softly, sitting beside Bai
Chuan.

Bai Chuan ignored her and lowered his head, as if he hadn’t heard
what she said. But Mu Xiaoya knew that he heard it because she saw
Bai Chuan’s eyelashes moved.

“You hurt me when you pushed me just now.” Mu Xiaoya said
intentionally.

Bai Chuan shuddered, he looked up anxiously, his eyes full of fear

and self-blame.

“But I’d feel more hurt if you don’t speak to me.” Mu Xiaoya then
unhurriedly said the later half of her sentence.

“I… I… I didn’t do it on purpose.” For the first time, this was the
first time that he tried to explain to someone after the numerous
manic episode he had in all of his life.

“I know. Can you tell me what happened just now?” Mu Xiaoya

thought that Bai Chuan wouldn’t break out without reason.

“The light… too noisy.” As if there was a feeling of unease, Bai

Chuan’s brows frowned tightly, “My head hurts.”

“Does it still hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Bai Chuan shook his head.

“Then go home and rest now, alright?” Mu Xiaoya stood up and

pulled Bai Chuan’s hand, wanting to send him home.

Who knew that Bai Chuan’s face suddenly turned pale white? He
was reluctant to stand up from the chair as he explained eagerly, “I…
I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“I know ah.” Mu Xiaoya couldn’t understand why Bai Chuan

suddenly got anxious again.

“Don’t go.” Bai Chuan held Mu Xiaoya’s hand tightly, begging her
with his eyes.

Mu Xiaoya blanked for a while.

“Don’t go, don’t hate me, I won’t be sick in the future anymore.”

Speaking and speaking again, Bai Chuan gradually lowered his head,
as if he had made a very unreasonable request, even he himself
didn’t dare to hope that Mu Xiaoya would agree to his plea. He only
pulled Mu Xiaoya’s hand, not letting it go even for a bit.

Her heart felt a painful ache. Bai Chuan’s few sentences seemed to
struck her right on her chest.

“I won’t go, I’ll return home with you.” Mu Xiaoya squatted down
and coaxed him softly.

“Really?”

“Isn’t it okay? Wait until I get permission from my parents and I’ll
live together with you.”

Live together? So I didn’t mess things up, right?

The edges on Bai Chuan’s lips raised up, revealing the usually
hidden deep dimples.

First Day Living Together

　　At the gate of the hospital, Mu Xiaoya took Bai Chuan to say
goodbye to her parents.

　　”Dad, mom, I’m staying at Xiao Chuan’s house tonight.”

　　”I see. I’ll pack some clothes for you tomorrow.” Shen Qingyi
nodded.

　　”No, I’ll go back and pack it tomorrow.” Mu Xiaoya refused.

　　”Alright.” Shen Qingyi answered, then turned to see Bai Chuan

standing beside her daughter and asked, “Xiao Chuan, does your
hand still hurt?”

　　”It doesn’t hurt.” Bai Chuan was in a good mood at this time
and didn’t feel any pain from his hand.

　　”That’s good, in the future … I’ll always come to accompany

Xiaoya when I’m free.” Shen Qingyi knew that her daughter was now
considered a married woman. Just thinking of this, Shen Qingyi’s
nose couldn’t help but get a little sour.

　　”Let’s go, the car is here.” Mu Ruozhou reminded his wife.

　　After saying goodbye to his in-laws, Mu Ruozhou and his wife

left by car. Shen Qingyi’s eyes couldn’t help but look back as the car
drove far away.

　　”Don’t look. You’ll be back tomorrow.” Mu Ruozhou comforted
his wife.

　　”Ruozhou you say our family’s Xiaoya just got married like
this?” Shen Qingyi didn’t think about this scene where her daughter
marries and leaves, but she never thought it would be so unexpected
and make them uneasy.

　　”It’s not far. We can see each other at any time.” Mu

Ruozhou’s heart was uncomfortable, but he still wanted to comfort
his wife.

　　”I know, I just don’t feel at ease.” Shen Qingyi worried. “You
say, what do you think about Xiao Chuan? What if he gets sick again
in the future, what can Xiaoya do against his great strength?”

　　“It’s unlikely, mother-in-law said that Xiao Chuan’s sickness

rarely outbreaks. Today was a special situation.”

　　“If it wasn’t… at the hospital just now, I would have really

gone back on our approval and not agree to it.” Shen Qingyi was
shocked by the appearance of Bai Chuan’s illness onset. She always
thought that Bai Chuan wasn’t talkative and didn’t know how to
communicate. She never expected that he had the tendency to
become violent when his illness onsets.

　　During the time Bai Chuan was receiving treatment in the

hospital, Shen Qingyi was hesitant. She didn’t care about the
marriage, but now that she witnessed Bai Chuan’s illness, she
regretted it and almost took Mu Xiaoya home at the spot. But in the
end, she saw Bai Chuan’s smile.

　　Shen Qingyi didn’t know how to describe that smile. It was a

smile that would make anyone soft once they see it. At that moment,
Bai Chuan was full of vitality, like a seedling struggling hard in the
spring to grow towards the sun; and her daughter, Xiaoya, was his
sun.

　　Shen Qingyi suddenly felt sad. She quietly looked back at her
husband and found that his face was similar to hers. At that time, Bai
Chuan’s mother cried. At last, her heart softened and left her
daughter to Bai Chuan.

　　”Don’t worry, the Bai family will take good care of Xiaoya.” Mu
Ruozhou comforted his wife, but also comforted himself at the same
time.

　　Bai Zheng was driving the car that carried Mu Xiaoya and his
brother Bai Chuan. He closed the window to isolate most of the
outside noise, then turned on the stereo and played soft piano songs.

　　This particular song was provided to them by Professor Feng. It

is said that it can help people with autism to ease their mood. He and
his parents had it prepared to play at home and in every car. When
Bai Chuan’s mood was unstable, they would play it for him.

　　While turning up the volume, Bai Zheng secretly observed the

situation behind him from the rearview mirror. Bai Chuan was very
quiet. He had reclined on the seat with his eyes closed, as if he had
fallen asleep. His body no longer emitted irritability, nor… the lively
smile that he revealed earlier.

　　It’s not that Bai Zheng has never seen Bai Chuan smile before.
From his childhood to now, Bai Chuan also had times when he’s
happy. Bai Chuan liked to read and purse his lips into a smile, his
eyes are bright and his ears red. They all like to watch Bai Chuan
smile. As long as Bai Chuan smiled, it was as exciting as seeing their
company’s performance double in one year. But the smile they just
witnessed- they have never seen before.

　　Did this smile only reveal itself for Mu Xiaoya?

　　While watching Bai Chuan, Bai Zheng was also watching Mu

Xiaoya. Mu Xiaoya was looking out of the window. It seems she was
watching the scenery along the way, but she always looked back,

www.asianovel.com
 108 Report
every once in a while, to confirm whether Bai Chuan was asleep or
awake.

　　The car quickly returned to the Bai family’s home. Without Bai
Zheng’s warning, Mu Xiaoya had already woken up Bai Chuan. They
got out of the car, but Bai Guoyu and his wife Li Rong arrived ahead
of them and were waiting for them at the gate of the home.

　　”Uncle Li, this is Xiaoya, Xiao Chuan’s wife.” Li Rong

introduced Mu Xiaoya’s identity to the housekeeper.

　　”I know, I know, the wife of the Second Young Master is good.”
Uncle Li had heard of Mu Xiaoya since long ago and discovered that,
like the rumors, their family’s little Two was really close to her.

　　“Xiaoya, this is Uncle Li, the housekeeper of the family. You

can find him if you need anything in the future.”

　　”Uncle Li.” Mu Xiaoya greeted Uncle Li.

　　”I don’t dare. Second Miss, if you need anything in the future,
just tell me.”

　　Bai Chuan was just ill, so they needed to rest at this time, so
everyone was done with the greetings and entered the house. Li
Rong took Mu Xiaoya to the door of Bai Chuan’s bedroom and left
after a brief explanation.

　　When the door closed, only Bai Chuan and Mu Xiaoya were left
in the room.

　　Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but look around Bai Chuan’s bedroom.
She took Bai Chuan to the bed, pulled back the quilt, and signaled
him to lie down and rest.

　　”I haven’t bathed yet.” Bai Chuan turned to look at the

bathroom.

www.asianovel.com
 109 Report
　　’Bai Chuan wants to take a bath?’ Mu Xiaoya subconsciously
glanced at Bai Chuan’s bandaged right hand and said, “Your hand is
injured. You can’t touch water.”

　　Bai Chuan looked down at his right hand and his eyebrows
twisted unhappily: “I want to take a bath.”

　　“…” Still likes to be clean, Mu Xiaoya was speechless. “You

probably don’t want me to help you wash, right?”

　　Bai Chuan was silent for a moment and seemed a little

embarrassed.

　　”You probably don’t want me to help you wash.” When Mu

Xiaoya saw that he was still troubled, she immediately laughed,
“Wait, I’ll get Uncle Li to come help you wash.”

　　”No, I’ll wash myself.” Bai Chuan refused immediately without

hesitation.

　　“They said you can’t touch the water.”

　　”Don’t wash … I can’t sleep.” Most people with autism will

have some obsessive-compulsive disorder. They will have their own
inherent rules of life that will not be easily changed or broken. Once
changed or broken, they will become anxious.

　　It was tentative that he really wouldn’t be able to sleep

because of this.

　　”Then you wait. I’ll get plastic wrap for you.” Mu Xiaoya went
out and asked Uncle Li for a roll of plastic wrap. She took it back to
the room and wrapped Bai Chuan’s injured right hand twice with
three layers. It was almost wrapped like a pig’s hoof, so she stopped.

　　”Okay, go wash. Don’t let your right hand touch the water,
okay?”

www.asianovel.com
 110 Report
　　”En.” Bai Chuan nodded obediently and turned to take a
shower in the bathroom.

　　Soon came the sound of water from the bathroom and Mu

Xiaoya was doing nothing, so she began to explore Bai Chuan’s room.
Bai Chuan’s room was minimalistic, except for the necessary
furniture; there was almost no decoration. Most of the books in the
room were placed in the corner near the balcony. There was a
bookshelf about two meters high, which was filled with all kinds of
books that Xiaoya has never seen. The thickness of the book caused
Mu Xiaoya to be seriously concerned. If the book fell and hit his head,
he would immediately have a concussion.

　　Bai Chuan likes to read. Mu Xiaoya remembers that there was

a big study in Grandma Bai’s house. There were many books in it.
When she was a child, she didn’t go to the library, instead she went
to Grandma Bai’s house to read. But Grandma Bai’s books were
world-famous books, so sometimes they were too boring to read. So
she would secretly bring comic books and force Bai Chuan to read
them together with her and didn’t allow him to read ahead by
himself.

　　The sound of the water stopped, and Mu Xiaoya knew that Bai
Chuan was almost done. Sure enough, after a while, Bai Chuan exit
the bathroom in his pajamas. He had wet hair on his head. The first
thing he did was raise his right hand to Mu Xiaoya, who stood on the
balcony, “Not wet.”

　　Mu Xiaoya looked at the hand which became a pig’s hoof

because of her and felt embarrassed.

　　”Sit down, I’ll untie it for you.” Mu Xiaoya asked Bai Chuan to
sit down, then went to the bathroom and took out a dry towel. Then
directly dried Bai Chuan’s wet head until it was half dry. Afterwards,
she bowed her head to remove the plastic wrap from Bai Chuan’s
hand. After removing the plastic wrap, Mu Xiaoya went to find a hair
dryer to help Bai Chuan thoroughly dry his half-dried hair.

　　During this period, Bai Chuan sat quietly allowing Mu Xiaoya’s
actions, and it seemed he didn’t even blink.

　　”Well, you go to bed. I’ll take a shower.”

　　Mu Xiaoya asked Bai Chuan to go to bed, then she went to the
bathroom to take a shower. Suddenly, she realized she didn’t bring a
set of clothes, so she had to temporarily take a T-shirt from Bai
Chuan’s wardrobe and change into it. When she got out of the
bathroom, she found that Bai Chuan, who should have been resting,
was still sitting at the head of the bed. His two big dazzling eyes were
staring at her, without a hint of sleepiness at all.

　　”Why don’t you sleep?” Mu Xiaoya asked strangely.

　　”Waiting for you,” Bai Chuan replied.

　　Mu Xiaoya was stunned at first, then suddenly smiled. She

went to the bedside, pulled open the quilt and sat beside Bai Chuan.
In these series of movements, Mu Xiaoya didn’t feel unnatural or
uncomfortable at all. She was now a wife and didn’t have the
consciousness of sharing a bed with her husband for the first time.

　　”Well, I’m back, can you sleep now?” Mu Xiaoya coaxed Bai
Chuan like he was a child.

　　Yes, in Mu Xiaoya’s eyes, Bai Chuan is a child, and she treats

him as a child. So even if the two shared the same bed at this time,
they didn’t have the slightest desire.

　　”Does it still hurt?” Bai Chuan suddenly asked.

　　”What?”

　　”Where I pushed you.” Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya’s waist.

　　”Oh, it doesn’t hurt.” Mu Xiaoya smiled suddenly.

www.asianovel.com
 112 Report
　　Bai Chuan thought about it and suddenly reached out to lift Mu
Xiaoya’s T-shirt.

　　”What are you doing?” Mu Xiaoya was startled, and quickly

reached out to stop his hand that caught the hem of her T-shirt and
nearly jumped out of her underwear.

　　”I want to see.”

　　”No, it’s okay, it doesn’t hurt at all.” Mu Xiaoya tried to

persuade him, but she forgot the persistence of people with autism.

　　Bai Chuan saw Mu Xiaoya disagree. He didn’t forcibly lift Mu

Xiaoya’s clothes but didn’t let go. He kept this action and stared at
Mu Xiaoya with a pair of wet eyes like a deer. The eyes were
determined, as if Mu Xiaoya didn’t let him see it then no one would
be able to sleep tonight.

　　”…” Mu Xiaoya immediately wanted to cry. How exactly did

she read so much information from Bai Chuan’s eyes?

　　”You … must see?” No, she didn’t believe it so she asked.

　　Bai Chuan nodded.

　　”Don’t look, okay?” Mu Xiaoya wanted to persuade him.

　　Bai Chuan continued to stare straight at her.

　　OK, you win!

　　Mu Xiaoya gritted her teeth, didn’t he just want to look?

Anyway, they were both husband and wife. It didn’t matter if he
looked. Besides, Bai Chuan didn’t understand anything. He just cared
about her injuries and won’t think about it.

　　Thinking about it this way, Mu Xiaoya released the hand that

held Bai Chuan’s arm, turned around, and took the initiative to show

www.asianovel.com
 113 Report
Bai Chuan her back.

　　Mu Xiaoya was on her side and couldn’t see Bai Chuan’s
expression. She just felt her clothes get rolled up little by little,
probably to the area where she was injured. Then, there were two
slightly hot fingers that gently pressed her waist and gently stroked
her.

　　Mu Xiaoya has never been touched on her lower back like this.
She felt agitated and a numbness that rushed up from her tailbone,
causing her to tremble a little.

　　”Am I hurting you?” Bai Chuan’s breath sprayed the side of Mu

Xiaoya’s face. The strong masculine breath instantly caused her
cheeks to flush.

　　Ba-dump, her face quickly changed.

　　Bai Chuan didn’t think much about it. Something must be

wrong with her.

To Promise

“No, it’s just a little itchy.” Mu Xiaoya didn’t dare turn around. At
this moment, from head to toe, she felt strange.

She really lost herself. How could she be like this? Mu Xiaoya bit
the pillow. She looked ugly and complained.

When Bai Chuan heard that Mu Xiaoya was okay, he couldn’t

help but touched her with his hand again.

Mu Xiaoya suddenly jumped up and yelled back behind her:

“Don’t touch it.”

“…” Bai Chuan had already withdrawn his hand. At this time, he
stared blankly at Mu Xiaoya.

Mu Xiaoya blushed. She knew her reaction was a little big, but
she didn’t know what was wrong with her. As soon as Bai Chuan’s
fingers touched her waist, she couldn’t bear it. No, it can’t be said it
felt uncomfortable, that is, the body had the uncontrollable feeling of
XXX, which made her feel a little uncomfortable and shameful.

It’s strange. Why didn’t I know my waist was so sensitive before

ah.

“I’m … sorry.” Bai Chuan has never seen a fierce and loud Mu
Xiaoya. After a long time of being dazed, he remembered to

apologize.

“No, it’s not you, it’s … it’s so itchy. I couldn’t help it at that
moment.” Mu Xiaoya hurriedly explained.

“I’m sorry.” Bai Chuan still apologized.

“I said it, it has nothing to do with you. You didn’t hurt me just
now.”

“It’s blue.”

“What?” Mu Xiaoya hesitated for a while before reacting. Bai

Chuan was talking about her waist, “It’s all right, it doesn’t hurt, my
skin is already white. It’s easy for it to turn blue. It will be fine in two
days. ”

Bai Chuan nodded, but he couldn’t get rid of the slightly blued
skin in his mind. The blue color was so dazzling on Mu Xiaoya’s white
back.

“I’ll … I’ll…” Bai Chuan wanted to say that he will never get an
episode again, but he was very clear in his mind that this matter was
beyond his control. “When my condition happens in the future. Don’t
worry about me.”

As long as Mu Xiaoya wasn’t near him during his onset, he won’t

hurt her.

“No.” Mu Xiaoya refused to think about it and wanted to say

something when she was in the hospital.

Bai Chuan was stunned and raised his head incomprehensibly.

He didn’t understand why Mu Xiaoya refused his request. When he
had an onset, he couldn’t control his emotions and movements. He
didn’t want to hurt Mu Xiaoya. He didn’t want Mu Xiaoya to hate him.
He was afraid that Mu Xiaoya couldn’t stand his condition and would
leave him.

 116 Report
“Xiao Chuan, why did you propose to me?” Mu Xiaoya knew that
Bai Chuan didn’t understand, so she guided him patiently.

“Because, I want you to be my partner.” Bai Chuan once

answered this question to Mu Xiaoya.

“Yes, everyone needs a partner, because partners can

accompany each other and take care of each other.” Mu Xiaoya said,
“Do you know what each other means? It means that when one side
is in trouble, the other side will show up to help them. I’m your
partner. If I don’t care about you when you’re having an episode, I’m
not qualified to be your partner. An unqualified partner is not needed.
Finally, they will divorce their other half. Do you want to divorce
me?”

Bai Chuan shook his head in horror. He didn’t, he didn’t want to

divorce Mu Xiaoya.

“Since you don’t want to, you won’t be able to say that again.”
Mu Xiaoya demanded.

“But … When I had an episode, I couldn’t control myself. I don’t

want to hurt you.” Bai Chuan didn’t want Mu Xiaoya to divorce him,
and he didn’t want to hurt Mu Xiaoya. He didn’t want to choose either
option. He was a little upset and didn’t know what to do.

From Bai Chuan’s simple thought process, he has never been so

entangled, like a small animal trapped at a crossroad looking around
blankly, not knowing which direction to go, in order to avoid the cars.

“Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, Xiao Chuan, calm

down.” Mu Xiaoya realized that Bai Chuan’s mood was suddenly
wrong again and was shocked. She never thought her words would
cause Bai Chuan’s mood to fluctuate so much. She cried out Bai
Chuan’s name, trying to call him back from his mind, but Bai Chuan
was trapped in his own conscience. Mu Xiaoya had no choice but to
mimic Grandma Bai’s appearance from the past, she forcibly held Bai

Chuan’s head, so their foreheads touched and forced his eyes to look
at her own.

“Xiao Chuan, it’s Xiaoya. Look at me, look at me.” Mu Xiaoya

shouted again and again, finally, Bai Chuan seemed to recognize the
girl in front of him, his breathing gradually calmed down, then his
empty and anxious eyes regained its focus.

“Xiaoya ~~” Bai Chuan called Mu Xiaoya’s name. Sweat dripped

down from his cheek and his face was full of fatigue.

“Close your eyes and calm down.”

Bai Chuan closed his eyes obediently and let his weight rest on
Mu Xiaoya’s forehead. He liked the touch and the distance between
them at this time, as if every breath he took was the smell of Mu
Xiaoya. This let him feel at ease and he no longer felt tired.

“I … did you almost get lost again?”

After a long time, when Mu Xiaoya thought Bai Chuan fell

asleep, Bai Chuan suddenly made a sound. His voice was light and
slow, obviously has broken away from the anxiety he revealed just
now, but his mood wasn’t very good, and he looked a little
depressed.

Mu Xiaoya took a deep breath, released her hand and let Bai
Chuan look at her directly, then showed a big smile.

“Look, you didn’t hurt me just now.” Mu Xiaoya said in surprise.

“…” Bai Chuan stared blankly at Mu Xiaoya.

“You see, although you almost had an episode just now, you
didn’t hurt me. You controlled it.” Mu Xiaoya continued, “This means
that you’re not out of control every time you have an onset. You can
control it by yourself, right?”

www.asianovel.com
 118 Report
Bai Chuan listened blankly. He had a good memory since he was
a child. He almost never forgets things, but every time he had an
onset, his memory would become very fuzzy. He couldn’t remember
whether he had taken the initiative to control his emotions before,
but even if he had, it must have been only a few times, otherwise
grandma wouldn’t have been so worried.

“Before in the hospital, you told me that you acted that way
because of the strange noise from that lamp. Did you head hurt
because of that noise?” Mu Xiaoya saw Bai Chuan was silent, and
continued to guide him patiently.

Bai Chuan nodded.

“Then, did it trigger you as soon as you heard it, or did you get
upset after hearing it for a while?”

“Listened for a while.” Bai Chuan lost his way, but he always
worked hard to endure, but no matter how long he endured, he
eventually lost his mind.

“Then if we had turned off the lights when we first heard the

sound, would you still have gotten upset?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

Bai Chuan shook his head.

“This is the solution. I will turn off the lights for you in the
future.” Mu Xiaoya said.

Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya quietly.

“Xiao Chuan, let’s make a promise.” Mu Xiaoya said, “I don’t

want to divorce you, and you don’t want to hurt me, right?”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded heavily.

“Then we will make a promise. If you feel uncomfortable in the

future, you should tell me right away. If another lamp makes a

 119 Report
strange sound, I’ll turn it off for you. If there’s something else I can’t
fix, I’ll hold you like I did just now, so you won’t get upset.” Mu
Xiaoya asked expectantly, “Ok?”

“I don’t want you to hate me.” Bai Chuan said with difficulty.

“Why do you think I’ll hate you?” Mu Xiaoya didn’t understand.

Why did Bai Chuan think that she would hate him? This wasn’t the
first time he told her that she would hate him.

“Grandma said …” Bai Chuan said, “Not everyone can tolerate

my condition indefinitely, so I have to work hard to control my
emotions and try to minimize the incidence so that others won’t hate
me. In this way, I can live by myself after she leaves. In this way,
after I have a partner, my partner won’t hate me.”

Compared to the moment when he proposed, Bai Chuan has

spoken eloquently, but he spoke in such an articulate manner that it
caused Mu Xiaoya to be extremely uncomfortable.

“I don’t want you to hate me. I’m afraid you will ignore me for a
long time, just like before.”

Mu Xiaoya held back her sour nose and asked, “When did I
ignore you for a long time?”

“When I graduated from high school.” Bai Chuan said, “That day
you came to my house and I was sick, and grandma asked you to go,
then you didn’t show up all summer. Later, when you went to college,
you visited less often.”

Mu Xiaoya remembered that day was the day when the college
entrance examination scores came out. She studied exceptionally
hard and got a very good score. Her parents were very happy and
gave her a sum of money to travel with her classmates. That day,
she ran to tell Bai Chuan the good news. Half the reason why she
performed well at the exam was because Bai Chuan helped her

www.asianovel.com
 120 Report
summarize the key points.

But that day, when she arrived at the door, she heard a strange
noise inside. Then Grandma Bai came out and asked her to go back.
She didn’t think much about it and left. After that, she was busy with
volunteer work, traveling, visiting relatives and preparing for school.
She had a very busy summer vacation.

When she got to college, she started to live on campus. With a

larger circle and more things she wanted to learn, she would have
less time to go back. ‘Occasionally when I go back on the weekends, I
also hurriedly walked away, and never ran to the white grandma’s
house as soon as I had time.’

“I’m sorry.” Mu Xiaoya suddenly remembered Grandma Bai’s

words that were said to her when she was dying.

“Xiaoya, Xiao Chuan’s world is small, and he can only hold

himself. But when he opens his heart up to someone, that person will
be his whole world.”

Therefore, when she filled his heart with happiness and was
welcomed into his world, she also left Bai Chuan’s world and left him
alone there.

Mu Xiaoya knew it wasn’t her fault. No one should be the world

of another person and no one should be born attached to another
person. But as long as she thought of Bai Chuan sitting alone in his
world, waiting for her to return, she felt sad and wanted to cry
uncomfortably.

In this lifetime, she made Bai Chuan wait for four years, then
she returned. But in her last life, she made Bai Chuan wait for eight
years and ultimately couldn’t return to his world.

“Don’t cry.” Bai Chuan clumsily wiped Mu Xiaoya’s tears from

her face.

“Xiao Chuan, I won’t.” Mu Xiaoya held Bai Chuan’s hand and
assured him earnestly, “I promise you, I won’t hate you because of
your condition and I won’t leave you because of it.”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded his head heavily, feeling happy. He

believed what Mu Xiaoya said. As long as she said it, he was willing
to believe it.

“Then you also promise me that you’ll tell me whenever you feel
uncomfortable so I can help you.”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded, Xiaoya won’t hate him because of his
condition, so he’ll work hard to prevent it.

“All right, pull the hook.” Mu Xiaoya held out her little finger.

Looking at Mu Xiaoya’s little finger, Bai Chuan’s smile gradually

widened. He remembered when they first met, Mu Xiaoya
accidentally stepped on a flower in grandma’s yard. She forced him
to do a pinky promise so he wouldn’t tell grandma and for him to not
move. Mu Xiaoya forcibly picked up his finger.

“You can’t tell if you pulled the hook.”

He didn’t tell, because the flower grew well again after two days
and grandma didn’t notice.

“You kept your word. Let’s be friends in the future.” Then Mu

Xiaoya unilaterally became friends with him.

“Hook.” This time, Bai Chuan took the initiative to hook Mu

Xiaoya’s finger.

This time, Mu Xiaoya no longer had an unilateral commitment.

A night of good sleep.

The sun was already high and bright outside, but Mu Xiaoya
couldn’t feel the sunlight because of the curtains on the balcony that
were pulled tightly. When she took her mobile phone and found out
that it was already 9.30, she immediately screamed and sat up.

“I’m gonna die, I’m so gonna die, why is it already past nine?!” It
doesn’t matter if she slept in her own house until noon, but she’s in
Bai Chuan’s house ah.

While wailing mournfully, Mu Xiaoya got up from the bed and ran
to the bathroom with naked feet, planning to find the clothes she
wore yesterday. The result was her searching for half a day without
even seeing a thread of it.

My clothes?

“You’re awake.” At this moment, Bai Chuan suddenly appeared at

the bathroom door, with a clean and tidy appearance, looking
extremely refreshed.

“Xiao Chuan? Do you know where my clothes is?” Mu Xiaoya

asked.

“The maid took it to wash.” Bai Chuan replied, his eyes glanced on
Mu Xiaoya’s bare feet.

“Wash it? Then what should I wear ah?” Mu Xiaoya had a bitter
face, surely she can’t just walk out wearing Bai Chuan’s T-shirt right?

Bai Chuan didn’t say anything. He walked to Mu Xiaoya, suddenly

www.asianovel.com
 124 Report
bending his waist and carried her horizontally.

“Eeeekk, Xiao Chuan. What are you doing?” Mu Xiaoya wrapped

her arms around Bai Chuan’s neck in panic and finally managed to
stabilize her body.

Bai Chuan strode out while hugging Mu Xiaoya and returned to the
bedroom. He put down the person on the balcony’s rattan chair, then
silently turned around and returned to the bedroom once again.

“…” Mu Xiaoya was somewhat muddled after these unexpected

turn of events, but soon attracted by the sight in front of her.

Mu Xiaoya knew that Bai Chuan’s room was connected with a

balcony, but what she didn’t expect was how beautiful the scenery
was from this place. At a glance, from the beautifully crafted Bai
family’s flower garden to the connected forest park nearby, her sight
was filled with endless lush greenery, stretched all the way to the
wide river far away. Occasionally, ships would pass by on the
sparkling lake, but no noise could be heard from the distance, it was
like a flowing and tranquil landscape painting.

Just this view on this Yuncheng’s extremely expensive land was

already a rare luxury. (Yuncheng = the name of the city)

“Wear this.”

Mu Xiaoya recovered from her absent-mindedness and saw Bai

Chuan holding a pair of slippers, bending his waist and squatted
down in front of her.

“You went to get me slippers?” Mu Xiaoya was a little surprised.

“Wear this, you can catch a cold.” Bai Chuan helped Mu Xiaoya
wear her slippers, then said again, “Clothes, I’ll get them.” After
saying this, Bai Chuan turned again and left the balcony.

Mu Xiaoya was unable to find the chance to speak out, so she

www.asianovel.com
 125 Report
starred dazedly at her feet, blanketed with the pair of slippers, as if
there’s still Bai Chuan’s lingering warmth on them.

Although Bai Chuan’s movements was somewhat awkward, and his

speech also wasn’t very coherent, but Mu Xiaoya truly can feel his
intention.

I was… taken care of by Bai Chuan?

“Rustle…” The sound of the wind blowing the pages on the book
woke her up. Mu Xiaoya raised her head and saw her own reflection,
smiling, on the balcony’s window.

“Clothes.” Bai Chuan returned with her clothes.

Mu Xiaoya stood up and took the clothes from Bai Chuan’s hands.
Her clothes had been washed, there was a faint lavender fragrance
floating around, just like the smell on Bai Chuan’s body.

“I’m going to change clothes.” Mu Xiaoya smiled, feeling that

today’s weather was especially good.

They went down after she changed her clothes, it was already
9.50.

Today is the weekend and none of the Bai family’s member left
home. Originally, Bai Zheng had to go for business matter, but when
they had the meal with the Mu family that day, his mother asked him
and his father to empty their schedule so he canceled his plan. He
later found out that the dinner appointment was at Saturday and that
it didn’t clash with his schedule, but he was too lazy to change his
schedule back at this point.

“Morning.” When Mu Xiaoya was halfway downstairs, she already

saw the Bai family all gathered neatly in the living room, her face
suddenly turned red in embarrassment. It’s almost ten o’clock, but
she still dare said that it’s morning.

www.asianovel.com
 126 Report
“Morning.”

“Morning.”

“Morning.”

However, the three members of the Bai family all gave her face
and one by one returned Mu Xiaoya’s greeting.

“…” This was so ironic, Mu Xiaoya’s face turned even redder, “I’m
sorry, I… I woke up late.”

“It’s alright, it’s good to get up late, it shows that you’re getting
used to live in here ah.” Li Rong laughed softly and said, “I let the
kitchen to leave some breakfast, you can go eat them with Xiao
Chuan.”

“You haven’t had breakfast yet?” Mu Xiaoya was startled and

looked at Bai Chuan. Bai Chuan woke up earlier than her so she
thought that he already had his breakfast.

“Wait for you, eat together.” Bai Chuan replied.

“Quick, quickly eat.” Li Rong was so happy, not just because he

waited to eat together with Mu Xiaoya, it was already enough that
her son could think of eating breakfast. As soon as the window was
opened, her son can see the already laid out breakfast on the dining
table.

Bai Zheng glanced at his excited mother, then looked at the ruddy
face of his brother. He turned his head silently and continued
lowering his head to read the newspaper.

“Then… let’s go eat breakfast.” After saying this, Mu Xiaoya and

Bai Chuan followed Uncle Li that has been waiting nearby to the
dining room.

“Look at them.” There’s no need for Li Rong to mention because

www.asianovel.com
 127 Report
Bai Guoyu can also see it, their hearts that were anxious for the
whole night finally could settle down. Bai Chuan’s recovery was much
better than other autistic patients, the chance of his manic episode
breaking out was also lower. However, it was not known why,
although Bai Chuan has fewer cases of breaking out, but after every
time he broke out, he will be depressed for a long time.

Just like yesterday when he was being silent in front of the

emergency room, it was normal for him to be like that. But the Bai
Chuan just now, not only he wasn’t depressed, he was in a very good
mood instead.

“This time, I can finally feel relieved.” Li Rong sighed.

Bai Zheng frowned, not sharing the same relaxed mood as his
parents. He didn’t deny the positive effect that Mu Xiaoya had on Bai
Chuan, but this effect was like a special drug, and it was the unique,
irreplaceable type of medicine. Perhaps because he had a failed
marriage himself, Bai Zheng has always been reluctant to believe
that there was any relationship, other than blood relationship, that
can’t be severed. The more Bai Chuan relied on Mu Xiaoya, the more
Bai Zheng will be worried about him. If Mu Xiaoya left him one day,
the greater the blow on Bai Chuan would be.

It wasn’t that Bai Zheng was being pessimist, he only understood

about human nature too much. Right now, Mu Xiaoya was someone
that had just graduated from university, her world was still simple
and kind so she can stay beside Bai Chuan with that kindness and
compassion within her, but what would happen after a while? Wait
until she was scared by Bai Chuan for a few times, wait until her
words couldn’t get through Bai Chuan, wait until his endless reliance
pushing down on her, wait until she find a better man…

He couldn’t be as optimistic as his parents. Of course he was

thankful to Mu Xiaoya, but the more he’s grateful towards her, the
more worried he was…

www.asianovel.com
 128 Report
Mu Xiaoya didn’t take too long to eat breakfast, only eating a few
bites before going out.

She took Bai Chuan along to Li Rong and said, “Ma, I want to take
Xiao Chuan out for a while.”

“Are you going to pack things? I’ll let the driver send you.” Li Rong
said, wanting to let Uncle Li prepare everything.

“No, there’s no need, I can just drive the car myself, just… I want
to borrow a car from you.” Mu Xiaoya shyly said.

“What are you saying with ‘borrow’? Aren’t all the things in this
house yours? Say ‘borrow’ again and mom will be angry.” Li Rong
pretended to be unhappy.

Mu Xiaoya also knew that she had said something wrong and
suddenly felt at a loss.

“When Xiao Chuan was eighteen years old, I bought an Audi as his
birthday present. Since he can’t drive it, then it’s best to just give it
to you.” Bai Zheng suddenly said, “Uncle Li, prepare the Audi in the
garage.”

Uncle Li quickly gave affirmation.

“Thank you.” Bai Zheng’s words made Mu Xiaoya felt relieved.

Although she was now married to the Bai family, it didn’t mean that
the Bai family’s things were hers, of course she couldn’t just take
them for granted. However, talking about borrowing, it did seem too
estranged, so she couldn’t help but felt like she was in a pinch. At
this time, Bai Zheng said that he gave Bai Chuan’s car for her use.
Although this car was still bought by Bai Zheng’s money, but as long
as it belonged to Bai Chuan, then she can use it with a more relaxed
heart.

“You’re welcome.” Bai Zheng nodded indifferently.

www.asianovel.com
 129 Report
Mu Xiaoya smiled. She found that this big brother of Bai Chuan,
although had been cold and indifferent towards her all this time, but
he’s still a nice person.

“By the way, mom, I also want to know how to contact the doctor
in charge of Xiao Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya said.

Everyone in the Bai family blanked and stared at her. Bai Guoyu
asked her directly, “You want to contact Professor Feng?”

“En.” Mu Xiaoya said while looking at Bai Chuan, “What happened

yesterday reminded me that I need to know more about Xiao Chuan’s
condition. If I’m more knowledgeable, then I can do more preparation
and prevention in the future so there won’t be another situation like
yesterday.”

Since she made an agreement with Bai Chuan yesterday, then she
will need to understand more about the reasons that could make Bai
Chuan’s condition to be out of control.

Everyone in the Bai family was stunned, their gazes towards Mu

Xiaoya was full of gratitude. Mu Xiaoya was using action to tell them
that she really wanted to integrate herself into Bai Chuan’s life, not
just simply accompanying him.

“I’ll help you make an appointment.” Bai Zheng said.

“Thank you.”

By the time Bai Zheng made the appointment with Professor Feng,
the car had already been prepared.

“Then, we’re going. We might be coming back later, so don’t wait

for us to eat dinner.” After saying this, Mu Xiaoya turned around and
looked at Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan froze for a while, then turned to the three person inside
the living room and repeated, “We’re going.”

www.asianovel.com
 130 Report
“Ok, ok, see you again.” Bai Chuan took the initiative to talk to
them again, and the Bai family instantly felt excited. They also got up
and sent Bai Chuan away, not putting their hands down until Mu
Xiaoya’s car was out of sight.

This whole treatment made Mu Xiaoya felt like she was playing as
Alexander the Great.

“I remember, didn’t you buy that Audi last year? If the sound isn’t
good anymore, then you should just throw it.” Li Rong asked her
facial paralyzed eldest son.

“I’ll send it now, isn’t it okay?” Bai Zheng asked in reply.

“Okay.” Li Rong laughed.

Professor Feng was a professor of psychology in Yuncheng

University, his main research was children with autism and he had
been helping Bai Chuan with his counseling since he was still five
years old. It can be said that beside Grandma Bai and Mu Xiaoya’s
role as his window to the outside world, Professor Feng had also
contributed some to Bai Chuan’s recovery so far.

Today is the weekend, Professor Feng was doing voluntary

counseling in a special children nursing home. When Bai Zheng
called him, he was chatting with an autistic child. Hearing that Mu
Xiaoya wanted to come over, Professor Feng especially emptied 20
minutes for her.

Mu Xiaoya arrived half an hour in advance, and because Professor

Feng was still unavailable, she and Bai Chuan could only wait at the
office.

This was the first time Mu Xiaoya came to this kind of place, so she
can’t help but be curious. Because she had to wait for half an hour,
she took Bai Chuan to stroll around the yard. But after only walking
for ten minutes, Mu Xiaoya couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled Bai
Chuan back to the waiting room, her heart felt uncomfortable for a
while.

Bai Chuan glanced at Mu Xiaoya, then stepped forward to give Mu

Xiaoya a hug.

“Xiao Chuan?” Mu Xiaoya yelped in confusion.

“You are sad.” Bai Chuan’s voice came from behind her ear, “When
you’re sad, you need a hug.”

www.asianovel.com
 132 Report
Mu Xiaoya blanked, this was what she taught Bai Chuan. But was
her expression really obvious that even Bai Chuan can sense it?

“Do you know what I’m sad about?” Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help
asking.

“I don’t know.” Bai Chuan shook his head. He didn’t know why Mu
Xiaoya suddenly felt sad, he only vaguely felt that she became sad
when they were taking a walk in the yard just now, but they
obviously didn’t meet anything there.

“I saw those people outside and can’t help but thought of the past
you.” If there was no Grandma Bai, if it wasn’t because Bai Chuan
was born in a wealthy family, would he be the same as those children
outside? Wearing sick patient’s uniform, squatting blankly on the
grass, looking up at the leaves on the tree and sky ahead, without no
one caring about them. Day after day, year after year, just living like
this their whole lives?

Those people outside? Bai Chuan glanced outside the window,

finally noticing the other children in the courtyard. He gazed at those
children and felt some familiarity. He remembered that he used to
live like them.

“I’m not outside.” Bai Chuan didn’t think that it was bad to stay like
so, he also liked to stay still within a quiet world because he can
think about many things. But Mu Xiaoya likes to be lively, she always
looked for him and talked like a chirping bird, so he could only
respond to her as best as he can.

“En, fortunately you’re not outside.” This was what Mu Xiaoya was
most thankful for. It was fortunate that Bai Chuan had a family that
loves him so much, not giving up on him, and not letting him become
like those children outside.

Alright then, although I don’t understand why Xiaoya doesn’t like

me outside, but since she doesn’t like it, then I won’t go outside.

www.asianovel.com
 133 Report
The way of thinking of the two people was different, but they
somehow reached a strange agreement.

“I’m sorry to keep you two waiting.” At this time, the office door
was pushed open and Professor Feng came in.

Mu Xiaoya hurriedly stood up from Bai Chuan’s embrace, her face

was with a hint of embarrassment, “Professor Feng.”

“Hehehe...” Professor Feng smiled at the embarrassed Mu Xiaoya

and teased her, “The young couple has a good relationship.”

“…” Mu Xiaoya’s face became even redder.

“Sit down, sit down, let’s sit down and talk.” Professor Feng
motioned them to sit down.

Mu Xiaoya sat back in her chair, Bai Chuan also sat next to her.
From the moment Professor Feng walked in through the door, Bai
Chuan only gave him one glance and then moved his sight away, all
of his mind fell unto Mu Xiaoya.

En, Xiaoya isn’t sad anymore. Bai Chuan raised the edges of his
lips in happiness.

Noticing this movement, Professor Feng raised his eyebrows in

surprise.

“Mu Xiaoya, I have been waiting for you to come find me for a long
time.” Withdrawing his gaze, Professor Feng then looked at Mu
Xiaoya.

“?” Mu Xiaoya somewhat didn’t understand.

“You may not know me, but I have known you for about ten
years.” Professor Feng laughed.

“Have we met before?” Mu Xiaoya was even more surprised, she

www.asianovel.com
 134 Report
didn’t remember meeting with Professor Feng, furthermore, she was
still an elementary school student ten years ago.

“Yes, through Xiao Chuan.” Professor Feng looked at Bai Chuan

with a smile.

After hearing his name, Bai Chuan subconsciously glanced at

Professor Feng but soon moved his eyes away. However, this look
alone made Professor Feng very pleased, all of these years he didn’t
get any reaction from him, but now, at least Bai Chuan was still
willing to acknowledge him.

“Through Xiao Chuan?” Mu Xiaoya felt unconvinced.

“That’s right.” Professor Feng explained, “A long time ago, it was

probably half a year after Bai Chuan followed his grandmother to live
in the old house. I found out about your existence during one of the
treatments then.”

“Xiao Chuan mentioned about me to you?”

“Yes, although to be precise, I discovered you first.” Professor Feng

explained, “At that time, Xiao Chuan won’t actively communicate
with people, but later I found you in his paintings. Usually, autistic
children don’t like talking and it can make their treatment very
difficult, we can only stimulate them through various auxiliary ways,
and then find what they’re interested in from their responses. Xiao
Chuan has scholar syndrome, so he has special talents in some
areas. In addition to mathematics, his paintings are also very good,
and our first communication was through this. From his paintings, we
can see parts of the world inside his eyes.”

“In the beginning, Bai Chuan’s paintings were of meaningless

landscapes, there would be intricate lines sometimes, and it was
difficult for us to find what he’s interested in. Until one day, a girl was
added to his painting.” Professor Feng meaningfully pointed his gaze
to Mu Xiaoya.

www.asianovel.com
 135 Report
Mu Xiaoya felt her heart jumped out a beat, there’s no need for
Professor Feng to point it out as she can already guessed that the girl
in the painting was herself.

“That painting was stored away by the Bai family, you should see it
when there’s a chance.” Professor Feng said, “It was the most
colorful of all the paintings Xiao Chuan has painted. One can well
imagine that you’re very dazzling in his eyes, that’s why he can paint
you with so many colors.”

Am I dazzling in Bai Chuan’s eyes?

Mu Xiaoya was somewhat surprised when she heard about this for
the first time. She looked back to Bai Chuan, wishing to seek
confirmation, but Bai Chuan didn’t have much expression on his face.

Professor Feng looked at the time, there’s still ten minutes before
he had to go to the next treatment.

“Bai Zheng said that you had some things that you want to ask
from me?” With ten minutes left, it should be enough to answer Mu
Xiaoya’s questions.

“Yes.” Mu Xiaoya quickly restrained her emotions and seriously

consulted about Bai Chuan’s condition, “Professor Feng, I want to
know what things that can stimulate Xiao Chuan condition to go
onset? Is there any way to prevent it? Also, is there anything that I
should take a note of when I’m with Xiao Chuan?”

Professor Feng frowned, thinking for a moment and said, “Patients

with autism received stimuli from the outside and react differently
from normal people. For example, sound, color and movement, if
they fall into their eyes, it will produce different reaction. It could
infinitely magnified, or it could also be infinitely reduced. For
example, for normal people, some noises was too light to be heard,
but for patients with autism, it would be like someone screaming in
high decibel right next to your ear with a loud speaker. On the

www.asianovel.com
 136 Report
contrary, there maybe somethings that you may hear as noisy, but
they will treat it as nothing. Patients with autism has weaker
adjustment capability, so if they’re stimulated too much, their illness
can break out.”

Mu Xiaoya immediately thought about yesterday night’s electric

sound that stimulated Bai Chuan.

“In addition to noises, there are also light or even other

unreasonable things.” Professor Feng said, “Most autistic patients will
have a certain degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder, everything
should be placed where they think it should be. If someone mess up
their things, they will feel uncomfortable and constantly want to
return them to their original place. If it wasn’t achieved, then their
illness can break out too.”

“So, I can’t casually move Xiao Chuan’s things, right?” Mu Xiaoya

asked.

“Xiao Chuan’s response in this matter is very light, although he

wants to return things to their original place, but it’s not enough to
stimulate his illness. At most, he will be restless. You should just pay
more attention to this, but there’s no need to be worried.”

“Is there anything else that I should pay attention to?” Mu Xiaoya
nodded her head and continued to ask.

“Satiate his curiosity.”

“Curiosity?”

“Yes, although autistic patient are closed in their own world, it

doesn’t mean that they have no curiosity. On the contrary, not only
they have curiosity, but it’s also very strong. It’s just that this
curiosity is rarely shown to the outside world.” Professor Feng said,
“And so, once they have a strong curiosity about something outside,
then their curiosity must be satisfied, otherwise their emotions can

www.asianovel.com
 137 Report
be easily agitated. Just like a child crying constantly about a new toy,
but patients with autism have a harder time reconciling with their
emotions, they won’t be coaxed easily like children.”

Mu Xiaoya nodded her head, showing that she understood.

“Also, the emotional intelligence of an autistic patient isn’t high.

When communicating with them, it should be done with simple and
forward words and gestures. Although Xiao Chuan is very smart, but
his emotional intelligence is still very low; he can’t lie, and he can’t
understand how to evade an issue. These will cause some problems
in life, such as avoiding to answer things that you don’t want to
answer, insisting to do something that you don’t want to do. It is at
this time that you will require a great deal of patience to be with him.
If this case happen, then the best way is to follow through with him,
and even if you don’t want to, you still shouldn’t act perfunctorily or
avoid him, instead, you should reason things out with him as much as
possible so he can understand.”

Mu Xiaoya thought about yesterday night when Bai Chuan insisted

to lift up her clothes to examine her wounds.

“Then, what can I do to help Xiao Chuan to recover?” Mu Xiaoya

asked.

“Your company is the best cure for him.” Professor Feng laughed,
“Of course, if you want some advice, then I suggest you to take him
out for a walk, talk to him about social topics, or do some activities
with him. These things will help him to integrate himself inside the
society. In short, let him have more contact with the outside world.
The more he’s interested in the outside world, the faster he will
recover.”

“Then, what should I do if his sickness break out?” Mu Xiaoya

asked.

“I… control.” Bai Chuan, who had been quietly listening, suddenly

www.asianovel.com
 138 Report
talked.

Mu Xiaoya blanked for a while.

Professor Feng was so happy he laughed ‘hehe’ and said, “At this
rate, I think the chance of him breaking out is very small. Even if it
happens, it still doesn’t matter, just let him calm down and then give
him a hug like before.”

Mu Xiaoya nodded solemnly.

“I can control, won’t get sick.” Bai Chuan still continued.

“Alright, I know.” Mu Xiaoya coaxed him.

Bai Chuan frowned, he always felt that Mu Xiaoya didn’t really

have confidence in him.

Then he must work harder and make Xiaoya be confident with him.

It was already lunch time when they exited the nursing home.
Mu Xiaoya didn’t eat much for breakfast and was already hungry.
She looked at the navigation and found a shopping mall nearby to
pick up lunch before heading home to pack.

“Xiao Chuan, what do you want to eat?” Mu Xiaoya parked the

car and asked Bai Chuan while searching for restaurants at this mall
with her mobile phone.

“I’m not hungry,” Bai Chuan replied.

“If you’re not hungry, you still have to eat ah. Eating on time
won’t hurt your stomach.” Mu Xiaoya said casually.

“Oh.” Bai Chuan froze and nodded.

“What do you want to eat?” Mu Xiaoya looked at the dazzling

amount of restaurants on her mobile phone, unable to make a
decision at the moment. She always felt that they were almost the
same and that there were no delicious dishes.

“When should I eat?” Bai Chuan asked suddenly.

“What?”

“Eat on time, when should I eat so it’s considered on time?” Bai

Chuan asked.

www.asianovel.com
 140 Report
“…” Mu Xiaoya didn’t understand how the topic became like
this, but after thinking about it, she suddenly responded, “When do
you… usually eat?”

“Eat when I’m hungry.” Bai Chuan replied.

“And when are you hungry?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“…” Bai Chuan seriously recalled and finally discovered that he

didn’t pay attention to the times when he became hungry, so he
shook his head honestly, “I don’t pay attention to when.”

Mu Xiaoya was stunned, then suddenly uncomfortable emotions

emerged from the bottom of her heart. After a long time, she asked,
“What time is it now?”

Bai Chuan took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, “12:31.”

“Okay. Then, at this time every day, you must remember to

have lunch. If you get delayed, you can’t wait more than an hour
before or after, you must eat.”

Bai Chuan understood for a moment, then nodded to indicate

that he understood.

“For breakfast, you have to eat before eight.”

“Before eight, what time?” Bai Chuan needs a specific time.

“…” Mu Xiaoya had to adjust her words. “Between seven to

eight, you must have breakfast.”

Bai Chuan nodded again.

“For dinner, between 6:30 and 7:30PM. Eat at these three times
and eat a lot, just remember to eat on time, okay?” Mu Xiaoya urged.

“Will remember.” Bai Chuan nodded seriously.

www.asianovel.com
 141 Report
“Remember to do it.”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded. “It’s time for lunch, let’s go eat.”

Are you reminding me?

Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but smile, turned off her phone, and

stopped picking a restaurant: “Let’s go, we’ll eat whatever restaurant
we see first.”

They went upstairs and located the restaurant closest to the

elevator entrance and had a simple lunch.

Coming out of the building, Mu Xiaoya planned to go to the

service desk with the receipt for a free parking voucher. When she
arrived at the service desk, she was suddenly attracted by the ad
beside her.

There was an advertisement sign for headphones. It was an

internationally famous brand that Mu Xiaoya heard about and could
be regarded as high-end compared to other headphones. In college,
Fang Hui bought one and Mu Xiaoya has used it several times and
the sound quality was really good. But what attracted Mu Xiaoya’s
attention wasn’t the sound quality of the headphones, but another
function of the headphones.

“Enjoy music with no noise.”

“Noise reduction 90%.”

Noise cancellation? Since then, the situation from the previous

light appeared again. Could Bai Chuan use the headphones to shield
the noise? Mu Xiaoya’s mind raced. After getting the parking
voucher, she took Bai Chuan to the headphone counter on the
second floor.

“Hello, what kind of headphones do you need?” Because it was

high-end headphones, there weren’t many customers in the store. As

www.asianovel.com
 142 Report
soon as Mu Xiaoya walked in, there were sale associates that
surrounded her.

“I want a pair of headphones with noise reduction.” Mu Xiaoya

said.

“This way please.” The associate led them to the counter where
the noise reduction headphones were and explained, “These
headphones have very good noise reduction. This Midnight Phantom
is the most cost-effective noise reduction headphone. With the latest
noise reduction technology, the noise is perfectly isolated while the
sound quality is very good. You can try them on.”

Mu Xiaoya’s eyes brightened. She picked up the headphone the

associate just mentioned, then turned over to cover Bai Chuan’s
ears.

Suddenly he had headphones on and Bai Chuan looked at Mu

Xiaoya perplexed.

“Can you hear me?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

Bai Chuan nodded.

Mu Xiaoya suddenly looked at the associate with

disappointment: “You, didn’t you say that the noise reduction is
good? Why can he still hear me?”

The associate was immediately embarrassed: “Miss, noise

reduction means that most white noise is reduced, so the audio
effect is better, but at the same time, it’s impossible to completely
isolate the noise.”

“Doesn’t your advertisement state that it can isolate 90% of

noise?”

“That also refers to white noise, and you’re standing next to the
headphones. How could this gentleman not hear you when you’re

www.asianovel.com
 143 Report
there?” The associate explained with a wry smile.

Mu Xiaoya took off the headphones on Bai Chuan’s head and put

it on herself. The ups and downs of the music immediately streamed
out of the headphones. In terms of sound quality, this headphone
was good, but Mu Xiaoya still felt that the noise reduction effect
wasn’t good enough. Because even when she wore the headphones,
she could still vaguely hear the noise in the mall.

Mu Xiaoya frowned, this was different from what she expected.

“Are there any better noise reduction headphones than this?”

Mu Xiaoya asked.

“This one.” The associate picked up a big red headset and

handed it to Mu Xiaoya. “This headset is the best one in our brand.
The headset’s material is carbon fiber and the weight of the entire
body is equivalent to the earphones that are used with cell phones, it
doesn’t feel heavy at all.”

Mu Xiaoya looked at the headphones in her hand and found they

were extremely lightweight.

“The material that covers the ear is the best sound insulation
sponge that can isolate outside noise to the greatest extent. If you
turn up the volume of the headphones, you can’t hear outside noise.”
The associate beckoned Mu Xiaoya to try.

Mu Xiaoya put on the headset, with the recent comparison, the

advantages of this headset were immediately revealed. She just wore
it and wasn’t playing music and she already felt it was a lot quieter.

Mu Xiaoya suddenly felt that this headset was good, so she

turned around and gave it to Bai Chuan again.

After Bai Chuan put on the headphone, his eyes lit up and he
obviously also liked the headphone’s sound insulation.

www.asianovel.com
 144 Report
“Do you like them?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

Bai Chuan nodded.

Mu Xiaoya immediately rejoiced and asked, “How much is this

headset?”

“Our store is doing a promotion today. With the discount, the

headset only costs 9,999.” The associate answered.

“How much?” Mu Xiaoya thought she heard wrong.

“Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.” The associate

repeated with patience.

“It’s so expensive ah.” Mu Xiaoya was stunned. Was the headset

really worth 10,000 yuan now?

“This headset is indeed a bit more expensive. In fact, if you

have lower requirements for noise reduction, the headset I
introduced to you just now is pretty good. It will only cost 2,888 with
the discount,” the associate suggested.

“…” How can that be said, there was no harm without the
comparison, who can see 2,888 after experiencing 9,999.

Mu Xiaoya glanced at Bai Chuan and found that he was quietly

listening to music and his eyes were slightly bright and his whole
person was much more relaxed. In addition, the big red headphones
that were on Bai Chuan’s head were extremely good-looking.

Mu Xiaoya gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll buy them.”

“Which?”

“The 9,999 ones.” Mu Xiaoya said with pain.

“Okay, I’ll give you a ticket. Please go to the service desk to

pay.” The associate quickly gave Mu Xiaoya a ticket.

www.asianovel.com
 145 Report
Mu Xiaoya took the ticket and Bai Chuan to the service desk and
opened Alipay for payment.

“It didn’t work ah,” the cashier said, glancing at the computer.

Mu Xiaoya was stunned and looked at her cell phone

subconsciously. A text message jumped out on her cell phone: Your
current purchase amount is 9,999.00 yuan. Due to exceeding the
credit card limit, the transaction failed.

“…” I forgot that my credit card wasn’t as big as it was four

years later.

“Excuse me, just a moment.” Mu Xiaoya pulled Bai Chuan to the

side and started looking for people to borrow money.

Her original deposit of 300,000 yuan was used to start up the

studio with Fang Hui, and Fang Hui’s own money was basically
invested as well, so it was impossible to ask Fang Hui to borrow
money.

How about my parents? I can’t. On the first day of marriage, I

bought a gift for my husband and then asked my parents for money,
that’s too shameful.

It was even more impossible to ask the Bai family. Counting her
connections, among the people she knows, Liang Nuonuo was the
only one who could lend her 10,000 yuan at once.

Liang Nuonuo was Mu Xiaoya’s college roommate. She studied

business administration and Mu Xiaoya wasn’t part of that major. But
because the business management major female dormitory was full,
she couldn’t live there. And Mu Xiaoya’s dormitory just happened to
be open, so the school assigned Liang Nuonuo there. Although the
two didn’t share the same major, they were destined to build a very
good friendship during their four years of college.

After graduating from college, everyone was looking for a job

www.asianovel.com
 146 Report
and going abroad. Only Liang Nuonuo returned to her hometown to
help her father grow cherries.

Mu Xiaoya called Liang Nuonuo, and the call was quickly

connected.

Mu Xiaoya: “Nuo Nuo, are you busy?”

Liang Nuo Nuo: “Not busy, what can I do for you ah?”

“That …” Mu Xiaoya was a little embarrassed, “Can you lend me

some money.”

Bai Chuan, who had been quietly waiting for Mu Xiaoya to make
a phone call, suddenly looked at Mu Xiaoya and his eyes flashed.

“How much?” Liang Nonuo directly asked the amount.

“Ten thousand, I’ll return it to you as soon as possible.” Mu

Xiaoya said quickly.

“Okay, you and Fang Hui just opened a studio together. It’s time
to use money, you can pay me back when you make money. I’ll
transfer it to your Alipay.” Liang Nuonuo said briskly.

“Thank you ah,” Mu Xiaoya expressed her gratitude.

“You’re still so polite to me. By the way, our cherries are ripe. I’ll
send you an address later and will send you and Fang Hui some to
taste.” Liang Nuonuo said.

“Your cherries are ripe?” Mu Xiaoya was surprised.

“Yes, ah, the cherry blossoms in the mountains are so beautiful

and red. When you and Fang Hui are free, I will show you ah.”

When Mu Xiaoya suddenly recalled her last life, the last

message that Liang Nuonuo sent her was to invite her to visit the
cherry orchard. In fact, the cherries ripen every year and Nuonuo

www.asianovel.com
 147 Report
would invite them to go there. Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoya has been
abroad for many years and has never been there once in those four
years.

“I’ll go once we’re free.” Mu Xiaoya promised that in this life,

she must go meet her friend once who she missed out on for four
years.

“Then I’ll wait for you. By the way, bring your husband when you
come ah. I haven’t seen him yet.” Liang Nuonuo knew that Mu Xiaoya
was married, but she only saw photos like Fang Hui and was curious
about Bai Chuan.

Mu Xiaoya glanced back at Bai Chuan and said with a smile,

“Okay ah.”

Bai Chuan saw Mu Xiaoya smile at him, and naturally smiled

back.

She hung up the phone and soon Liang Nuonuo sent over
money. Mu Xiaoya paid and went to the store to pick up the headset.

“These headphones also function as a radio, and can also record

…” The associate dutifully introduced the headphones’s additional
features to the two people, but Mu Xiaoya couldn’t remember the
words and finally perfunctorily said that she would go back and read
the manual.

That is to say, but who would actually read boring stuff like a
manual. She turned around and gave the task to Bai Chuan:
“Remember to read the instructions.”

Bai Chuan wore the headphones, took out the instructions

obediently and read it. When Mu Xiaoya returned home, Bai Chuan
had mastered all the functions of the headphones.

“I’m done.” Bai Chuan reported.

www.asianovel.com
 148 Report
“What?” Mu Xiaoya had already forgotten about the manual.

“Headphones.” Bai Chuan pointed to the headphones hanging

around his neck.

Xiaoya’s memory was still as bad as before. What she said will
be forgotten. But it doesn’t matter, he remembers it.

Bai Chuan put away the instructions, put them back in the box,
then touched the headphones around his neck.

This is the gift Xiaoya bought for me…

Although Mu Xiaoya earlier said that she would come home to

pack, Shen Qingyi helped her daughter pack in advance. Mu Xiaoya
had nothing to do, so she accompanied her mother to do housework.
When Bai Chuan saw Mu Xiaoya had returned to her parent’s house
and didn’t pay attention to him, he was quiet and obediently sat on
the sofa in a daze. Anyway, when he was in a daze, it was common
for him to stay that way all day long.

This scene fell into his father-in-law’s eyes and he couldn’t bear
it anymore. Before Bai Chuan was only a neighbor’s child, Mu
Ruozhou would often find him to do mathematical problems. One
point was that Bai Chuan can solve these math problems easily and
the other was that he wanted to find a method for Bai Chuan to
communicate more. Now that Bai Chuan is his son-in-law, he doesn’t
need a reason to take care of him.

‘Even in my heart, I can’t help but feel a little depressed. Other

people’s son-in-law is in a hurry to get along with their father-in-law.’
But when he comes, he has to get along with his son-in-law instead.

“Xiao Chuan, come over and help me look at these questions.”

Mu Ruozhou took a few Olympian math questions and put them in
front of Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan glanced at them and began to write with a brush.

Soon he wrote the entire formula and worked out the problem with

www.asianovel.com
 150 Report
the simplest and easy to understand calculation method.

“It could be solved in this way and be calculated with such a

simple formula.” After solving two questions, Mu Ruozhou was once
again convinced by Bai Chuan’s mathematical talents, instantly
discarding the identity of the father-in-law and turning into a fanboy.

Bai Chuan ignored him and continued to solve the problems,

then calculated the remaining mathematical problems together, still
using the original formula.

“So this formula can be used here? But if this formula is

replaced here.” Mu Ruozhou circled a large part of the calculation
process written by Bai Chuan on the draft paper with a red pen and
wrote a brand-new formula next to it. “With this formula, you can
save a lot of steps ah.”

Bai Chuan’s problem-solving methods are simple and clear, and

he never makes mistakes, but it’s strange that he only uses the
simplest formulas when solving problems. There are many clear
conclusions that can be reached in one step. He has to use three to
four steps. Although it was correct, it wasn’t the best methodology.
To this point, Mu Ruozhou felt very strange. At last, he can only
blame this behavior of Bai Chuan on his scholar syndrome.

Mu Ruozhou had read some articles on the Internet, saying that

many people with scholar syndrome see a problem in their eyes, and
the brain automatically comes up with formulas and calculation
processes. Perhaps the simplest formula can only come out of Bai
Chuan’s brain?

“I don’t understand.” Bai Chuan suddenly spoke.

“What?” Mu Ruozhou looked up.

“It’s too complicated for Xiaoya to understand.” Bai Chuan

replied that in order to let Mu Xiaoya understand the problem-solving

www.asianovel.com
 151 Report
process, he researched and used a mathematical formula learned
from elementary school instead. He spent more energy than he
needed to solve math problems.

“…” Mu Ruozhou remembered that his daughter wasn’t good at

math since she was a child, but she didn’t learn from her father who
taught math. Instead she liked to go to Bai Chuan next door to learn
math. The reason she did that was because if she didn’t understand,
Bai Chuan won’t scold her for being stupid.

Therefore, Bai Chuan’s problem-solving techniques only uses

the simplest formulas. Was it for his daughter?

The corner of Mu Ruozhou’s mouth was drawn, and he didn’t

know whether it was time to scold his daughter for being stupid, or to
scold her for using Bai Chuan like using a fucking knife to kill
chickens.1In Asia, usually you just break the chicken’s neck with your
hands and don’t need tools.

Because of this, Mu Ruozhou glared at his daughter several

times during dinner, causing Mu Xiaoya to feel inexplicable and didn’t
know what she did wrong.

After dinner, Mu Xiaoya chatted with her parents for a while

before taking Bai Chuan back to the Bai family’s villa. Refusing Li
Rong’s good intentions to find a servant to help her unpack, Mu
Xiaoya dragged her luggage and directly went to Bai Chuan’s closet.

Bai Chuan’s closet was large, but there weren’t many clothes
nor styles. At first, Mu Xiaoya wondered why Bai Chuan’s mom didn’t
buy more clothes for Bai Chuan, but on second thought, Bai Chuan’s
personality probably caused him not to wear them. And if there were
too many things in his room, Bai Chuan wouldn’t be happy.

“This half is my closet.” Mu Xiaoya dragged the suitcase in front

of the closet.

www.asianovel.com
 152 Report
“All for you.” Bai Chuan said generously.

Mu Xiaoya laughed: “No, your closet is too big. I don’t have that
many clothes.”

Bai Chuan blinked and didn’t speak. He stood by and watched

Mu Xiaoya open her luggage and hang the clothes one by one in the
wardrobe. When Mu Xiaoya finished hanging them, only then did he
understand Mu Xiaoya’s words.

Xiaoya’s clothes were really few, not as many as his.

“Don’t stand there. Go and take a shower.” Mu Xiaoya said and

took a pajama from the closet and threw it to Bai Chuan, “You go
wash first, I will go wash after you.”

Bai Chuan looked down at the clothes in his hands, then

obediently turned and left. Soon, Mu Xiaoya heard the sound of water
coming from the bathroom.

Mu Xiaoya didn’t bring many clothes this time, just summer

clothes. Her other seasonal clothes were left at home. She wasn’t in
a hurry to move in. Anyway, she will go home often to visit her
parents and take things away slowly.

After she finished unpacking her clothes, Mu Xiaoya went back

to the bedroom, placed the computer and some drawing tools she
had brought with her on the only desk in the room, then began to
tinker with her skin care products. To be honest, the skin care
products she was using now were significantly less effective than the
ones she used four years later, but the price was much lower.
Fortunately, she had just graduated from college and Milk Muscle
wasn’t popular on the computer yet and didn’t cause her to produce
excess oil, so she didn’t need to spend a lot of money to buy skin
care products.

Isn’t she a woman? Beauty should be treated as number one

www.asianovel.com
 153 Report
and one should always be willing to treat herself.

“Well, I have to work hard to make money ah.”

While sighing, the bathroom door was suddenly opened, it was

Bai Chuan in his pajamas who just finished his bath and walked out.

“I’m done washing.” Bai Chuan said and looked at Mu Xiaoya.

“Then I’m going to wash.” Mu Xiaoya went to the bathroom

holding the skin care products in her arms, and suddenly
remembered something before entering the door. She turned back
and said to Bai Chuan, “If I place something inappropriately, you tell
me, and I’ll fix it. “

During the day, Professor Feng said that some autistic patients
have obsessive-compulsive disorder in the placement of objects in
their space. She took over a large amount of space for herself and
didn’t know if Bai Chuan would be uncomfortable.

“No.” Bai Chuan shook his head.

“What?”

“Your things aren’t inappropriate.” As long as it belongs to Mu

Xiaoya, he thinks it is appropriate to put it anywhere.

It seems that the obsessive-compulsive disorder in Bai Chuan

wasn’t very serious. It was unnecessary to move her things, Mu
Xiaoya was so happy that she went into the bathroom with a smile.

The sound of water flowing in the bathroom was heard. There

were many things that didn’t belong to him in the room. Bai Chuan
wasn’t comfortable, but this discomfort was masked by the
satisfaction from his heart. Bai Chuan went to his desk and moved
the lamp back to its original place by one centimeter, but he didn’t
move Mu Xiaoya’s things besides it.

www.asianovel.com
 154 Report
After looking around the room again, he found that nothing else
was moved. Bai Chuan breathed a little sigh of relief, opened the
door, left the bedroom and walked to the third floor.

The Bai family’s villa has three floors, the first floor was the
living room, dining room and kitchen. The second and third floors
were the bedrooms and guest rooms. But because of Bai Chuan’s
particularity, everyone in Bai Chuan’s family left the entire second
floor to Bai Chuan in order to give him a comfortable space. The
other three people of Bai Chuan’s family lived in the bedrooms on the
third floor, but Bai Chuan almost never went up there.

In the room on the far right of the third floor, when Bai Zheng
had just taken a bath and went to pour himself a cup of cold water,
he was just about to read a book before going to bed when the door
was suddenly knocked upon.

Who was looking for him at this point?

Bai Zheng frowned, there was knocks on the door but no voice.
It couldn’t be the parents or the servants, was it… Mu Xiaoya?

This conjecture made Bai Zheng’s expression a bit subtle, but he

still walked over and opened the door.

“Xiao Chuan?!” Bai Zheng stared blankly at Bai Chuan who

appeared at the door.

“I’m looking for you,” Bai Chuan said expressionlessly.

“Ah? Oh, come in and say.” Bai Zheng quickly got out of the way
so that Bai Chuan could enter.

Bai Chuan went in according to his words and stood still in the
middle of the bedroom.

“That… you sit down and say, if you want something to eat, I’ll
let Uncle Li bring it over.” His younger brother visited his room for

www.asianovel.com
 155 Report
the first time, and Bai Zheng was in a hurry and didn’t know how to
greet him.

“No need, I’ll leave after speaking.” Bai Chuan shook his head.

“Uh, what do you want to talk about?” Bai Zheng curiously

asked, what was the matter that made Bai Chuan come to him
tonight.

“I want a salary.”

“?!” Bai Zheng was blindsided. What did his brother just say just
now, “What did you say?”

“I want a salary.” Bai Chuan repeated, and this time his voice
was obviously louder than before.

“…” Bai Zheng confirmed that he didn’t hear wrong just now.
His brother was really asking him for a salary. “Why?”

“Everyone in the company has a salary. The salary is paid

monthly. I worked for three years, six months and seven days …” Bai
Chuan began counting his employment at the company.

“Wait a minute …” Bai Zheng held his forehead, who wanted to

calculate salary with you, “I asked you why you suddenly want a
salary, before you didn’t want it.”

“Xiaoya has no money.” Bai Chuan straightforwardly said. Yes,

Xiaoya has no money, and she has to borrow money from others to
buy gifts.

“…” After hearing this answer, Bai Zheng really didn’t know
what to say. Mu Xiaoya has no money, so Bai Chuan came to him for
a salary. Was it wrong? Yes, of course. Mu Xiaoya, a college student
who just graduated, had no money. It was reasonable. Instead, their
Bai family didn’t think enough, and they didn’t expect to give them
some living expenses. He even forced his younger brother to come to

www.asianovel.com
 156 Report
his room in the middle of the night to ask for a salary.

“I’ll let the accountant settle your salary tomorrow.” Bai Zheng
deeply felt he made a mistake.

Bai Chuan nodded and reminded him, “Three years, six months,
and seven days.”

“Don’t worry, you won’t lose a dime.” Bai Zheng had black lines
on his face, how could he also reduce his brother’s salary.

Bai Chuan was immediately satisfied, turned, opened the door,

and left. The action was done in one movement without saying
goodbye to his “boss”.

“…” Bai Zheng.

When Bai Chuan returned to the room, Mu Xiaoya had come out
of the bathroom and was sitting on the bed wiping her hair with a
towel.

Bai Chuan looked around, walked to the bathroom to get the

hair dryer before walking to Mu Xiaoya.

“You’re back?” Mu Xiaoya smiled at Bai Chuan. She just came

out and didn’t see Bai Chuan and was surprised.

“En, I’ll help you blow dry your hair.” Partners help each other.
Yesterday Xiaoya helped him dry his hair. Today, he also wants to
help Xiaoya dry hers.

“You’ll help me blow dry?” Mu Xiaoya raised her eyebrows. “My

hair is very long and thick, and it will take a long time to blow dry.”

“I will blow dry.” Bai Chuan insisted.

After blow drying for a while, Bai Chuan found that Mu Xiaoya
was right, her hair was really hard to dry. Mu Xiaoya’s hair is about

www.asianovel.com
 157 Report
29 times the length of his hair, which draped from her scalp in layers.
It was difficult for the hot air to enter. He needed to lift her hair with
his fingers, then slowly blow dry until it was dry. It took about six to
seven times longer than when he usually blows dry his hair.

But Bai Chuan didn’t find it troublesome. He liked the feeling of

Mu Xiaoya’s long hair running across his fingertips.

“What are you doing?” Mu Xiaoya turned her face strangely, her
hair was dry, why did Bai Chuan still hold her hair?

“Before…” Bai Chuan smiled. “You took your hair and pricked it
on my face.”

With that, Bai Chuan held up the long hair and stuck it to his
cheek.

Itchy, not like that time, but very comfortable. Thinking about it,
Bai Chuan’s smile deepened unconsciously, and two dimples
suddenly appeared, greeting Mu Xiaoya happily.

“Ba-dump!”

Mu Xiaoya heard her heart beating.

Little theater:

Mu Xiaoya with braids: Brother Bai Chuan, why do you ignore

Bai Chuan continued to read without looking up.

Mu Xiaoya grumbled angrily, then used her two black and thick
braids to slap Bai Chuan’s face one by one.

Bai Chuan felt itchy and finally raised his head.

The second day.

Mu Xiaoya, who set up the alarm clock earlier, got up before it was
time for breakfast. She brought Bai Chuan with her to the Bai’s
family’s dining table.

Li Rong was secretly happy, she was thinking about how to find a
topic and chat with Mu Xiaoya, for fear that Mu Xiaoya would feel
dejected for being too reserved.

“Xiaoya, I remember that you studied design at university.” Li

Rong started to ask.

“Yes, I studied footwear design.” Mu Xiaoya answered.

“Footwear design? This is rare to see ah.”

“Originally, I applied for clothing design, but because of a few

minutes mistake, the examination was changed into shoes design.
However, after learning about it for a period of time, I think that
footwear design is really interesting.” Mu Xiaoya said, “Besides, the
shoes that was designed by myself seemed to be more comfortable
to wear.”

“Yes, that’s right, those shoes outside, although they look good,
but it can hurt the feet after wearing it for a while.” Li Rong had a
deep impression as she said, “The pair of high-heeled shoes I often
wear are all custom-made abroad.”

“I can also design high heels, I’ll help you customize a pair another
day, at that time, would you try my craftsmanship?” Mu Xiaoya
naturally knew that her craftsmanship can’t be compared with those

www.asianovel.com
 160 Report
shoes customized for Li Rong from overseas, but it has different
meaning for the daughter-in-law to help customize the mother-in-
law’s shoes, Mu Xiaoya thought that Li Rong would like it.
Furthermore, besides this, Mu Xiaoya really couldn’t think of any
other gifts she could give to Bai Chuan’s family.

Li Rong was really surprised after hearing Mu Xiaoya said these

words, “You can customize shoes?”

“En, I’m actually working with a classmate to prepare a studio

recently, and I plan to specialize in customizing shoes and designing
our own brand in the future. When the studio is done, I will first help
you customize your shoes.”

“That’s good ah, that’s good, then, I’ll be the first customer of your
studio.”

“En.” Mu Xiaoya saw Li Rong really liked it and her heart can’t help
but be happy too.

“Eat.” Suddenly, Bai Chuan put a peeled egg into Mu Xiaoya’s

bowl.

“Thanks.” Mu Xiaoya smiled and took the egg, eating it with small
bites.

After Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya eating, he then withdrew his

gaze and continued eating his own breakfast.

Just now, Xiaoya was focused on talking, so she forgot to eat her
breakfast.

Seeing this scene, the three people of Bai family’s hearts felt
complicated, mixed between sweet and sour. Sour, because Bai
Chuan never give them food, sweet, because Bai Chuan has learned
to care for other people, which meant that he had taken a step
forward to the outside world.

www.asianovel.com
 161 Report
“Footwear customization isn’t an easy thing to do in China.” Bai
Zheng suddenly spoke.

“Ah?” Mu Xiaoya was a bit muddled.

“Ordinary people doesn’t make customized shoes at all, and those

who make customized shoes also regularly go abroad to those well-
known brand to make shoes that was ordered in advance. It’s not
wise for two fresh graduates to do custom footwear.”Bai Zheng
analyzed, “The cost is high, the customer flow is low, it’s basically
difficult to be done.”

Although Bai Guoyu didn’t say anything, but he really agreed on

Bai Zheng’s analysis. Mu Xiaoya’s idea was good, but it was difficult
to be implemented.

“Bai Zheng, Xiaoya hasn’t even started yet, how are you so sure
that she can’t make it?” Li Rong gave her son a scornful glance. Her
eldest son really can’t speak too much, just a few words and it can
make the other want to die. Besides, what can’t be done? Is their Bai
family still lack this bit of money?

“…” The criticized Bai Zheng was speechless for a while. It should
be known that there were too many people outside begging him to
be their business coach but he was too lazy to do it. Today he took
the rare initiative but was instead given a cold shoulder, “I just want
to say, if you really want to walk on this road, then you should first
find a well-known company to cooperate with. After you have a
certain reputation in the industry, then you can open your own
studio.” Bai Zheng also knew that Mu Xiaoya didn’t know any well-
known companies, so he said considerately, “I know the general
manager of GJ, if you want, I can introduce you to their company.”

GJ was a very well-known sport shoes brand in the world.

“That’s right ah, accumulating some experiences before starting a

business will be helpful for your future work.” Bai Guoyu also

www.asianovel.com
 162 Report
advised.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoya already thought her answer, she knew

that Bai Zheng was being good to her. Actually, in her last life, she
also followed Bai Zheng’s thoughts. She first went to study abroad for
two years, then got the recommendation of a mentor, and continued
her way to a very well-known foreign shoe brand company as their
designer. It’s just that when she finally made a small achievement,
she already died young, and now when she thought about it, she
can’t help but feel that it was too pitiful.

“We don’t actually have such big ambitions.” Mu Xiaoya explained,

“I and Fang Hui, the classmate who opened the studio with me, the
two of us just don’t want to go out and work for others, so we
thought about opening our own studio. Although we’re talking about
making high-end customized shoes, the price certainly won’t be high.
The main target groups are only middle-class and high-level white-
collar workers. At the usual time ah, we’ll design some better-selling
sneakers and sell them online as our main source of income. We
didn’t think about making a lot of money, just to be comfortable and
not making losses is already enough.”

After Mu Xiaoya explained this, Bai Zheng stopped talking, and

even felt that he was being too troublesome. She actually only
wanted to open a small studio and play around, her requirement
wasn’t to make money, it was only not to lose it too much. Such a
strange business goal, it’s really… Bai Zheng awkwardly sipped a
mouthful of gruel, and didn’t continue to evaluate things anymore.

“So, how’s your studio coming along?” Li Rong asked with interest.

“We’ve found a good location and rented the studio, the next step
will be to decorate it. It may take another two months for the studio
to officially work.” Mu Xiaoya answered.

“Then, are you gonna be busy decorating for these two months?”

www.asianovel.com
 163 Report
“En. But most of the work will be done by my classmate, I’ll just go
to see it occasionally.” Because Mu Xiaoya just got married recently,
Fang Hui almost took over most of the work so as not to hinder their
honeymoon period. Only when discussing the decoration plan did she
contact Mu Xiaoya.

“Eat.” At this time, Bai Chuan passed over an egg to Mu Xiaoya.

“…” Mu Xiaoya was helpless, how come Bai Chuan continued on

giving her eggs ah? She whispered to remind him, “I can’t eat
anymore, don’t give me anymore eggs.” After that, she picked up the
second egg that Bai Chuan gave her and planned to eat it. Who knew
that when she just wanted to take a bite, Bai Chuan suddenly took
the egg back again.

“?!”

“You can’t eat anymore, I’ll eat.” Bai Chuan swallowed half of Mu
Xiaoya’s egg in one bite.

This… this is too intimate! Mu Xiaoya’s face turned red, she almost
dared not to lift her head and see the other Bai family’s
members’ faces.

Unexpectedly, the other three people there were all relieved even
after being given a mouthful of dog food, Li Rong also strengthened
the ideas in her mind.

After the breakfast session was finished, Bai Guoyu and Bai Zheng
went to work. Li Rong went to find Xiaoya, explaining to her what she
thought in her mind.

“Ma, so what you mean is, to let me bring Bai Chuan on a trip?” Mu
Xiaoya was surprised.

“That’s right.” Li Rong explained with a smile, “Because of what

happened with Xiaochuan’s grandma, your wedding didn’t get to be
held, but you still have to spend your honeymoon ah. Moreover,

www.asianovel.com
 164 Report
Professor Feng also said that it would be good for Xiaochuan to go on
a walk. Before, when we took Bai Chuan to go out, he wouldn’t budge
at all, but I think he will be happy if you’re the one who take him
out.”

Mu Xiaoya turned her head to look at Bai Chuan, he was sitting in

the garden while reading a book. Mu Xiaoya suddenly realized that if
she didn’t give him attention or not talking to him for a while, Bai
Chuan would be reading books or stayed still in a daze.

“Take him out for a walk and let him be more exposed to the
outside world. The greater his interest in the outside world is, the
faster he will recover.” Professor Feng gave her advice just yesterday
so Mu Xiaoya would naturally remember it. This time, Li Rong
mentioned about this again, so Mu Xiaoya’s heart was moved.

“If you’re assured with me, I do have a place in my mind, and it’s
also suitable for Xiaochuan.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“Of course, of course I’m assured.” Since the day Mu Xiaoya was
accepted as her daughter-in-law, Li Rong has chosen to believe in
her, and not to mention, what Mu Xiaoya did when Bai Chuan’s
condition was triggered had long been well-received by the Bai
family.

“Then… I’ll prepare the things we need to take Bai Chuan for the
tour.” Mu Xiaoya decided quickly.

“Right, you need to be prepared, I’ll let you pack your bags then.”
Li Rong said and left with excitement to find Uncle Li and make some
preparations in advance for the two people. As for where Mu Xiaoya
was going to travel, Li Rong didn’t care, anyway it can be thought of
later, it’s more important to prepare things now.

After deciding to go travelling, the first thing to do was to tell your

travel companion.

 165 Report
Mu Xiaoya walked over to Bai Chuan’s side and found out that in
the time when she was talking with her mother-in-law, Bai Chuan
already finished a third of the book that he just took out.

What book is this? Mu Xiaoya tried to look at a few lines of

sentences written on it, but the various advanced professional terms
made her, who had lived 4 years abroad, felt like she was an
illiterate. Mu Xiaoya gave up reading and looked away, she then
stretched out her palm and blocked out the book’s content.

As his sight was blocked, Bai Chuan lifted his head up

subconsciously. When he saw Mu Xiaoya, a smile was naturally
formed on his face.

“Does the book look good?”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded his head.

Mu Xiaoya suddenly wanted to tease him, so she deliberately

asked, “Then, am I good-looking or is the book good-looking?”

“You’re good-looking.” Bai Chuan answered without any hesitation.

Boom!

Mu Xiaoya covered her chest, her soul failed to return to her body
for a long time. This was a sentence when even if you know that the
other party was lying, you would still be happy to hear it, but this was
Bai Chuan who can’t tell lie ah, if he said that she looks good, then
she must really be good-looking in Bai Chuan’s eyes.

This recognition made Mu Xiaoya very elated that she smiled from
ear to ear unconsciously. She then said to Bai Chuan, “Let’s go
travelling.”

“Travel?” Bai Chuan frowned, he didn’t like travelling very much.

ly, his family wanted to take him on a trip, but it was too noisy
outside and the environment was also strange, and so he didn’t like

www.asianovel.com
 166 Report
going out at all.

“Yeap, just the two of us, we’ll go and play there.” Mu Xiaoya
continued, “I have a place that I always wanted to go but never had
the chance to, this time, you can accompany me to go ah.”

A place where Xiaoya always want to go but never had the chance
to?

“Okay.” Bai Chuan nodded. If Xiaoya wanted to go, then he’s

willing to accompany her. It’s okay if it’s a bit noisy, he can bring
along the headphones Xiaoya bought for him.

“I have a very good friend there, she especially wants to know you,
so I’ll introduce you guys at that time.” Mu Xiaoya said excitedly,
“Her family has a very large cherry garden, we can pick cherries and
eat them together there!”

“Okay.” Bai Chuan laughed, he remembered that Xiaoya really

liked to eat cherries, so every summer, when grandma asked him
what fruit he wanted to eat, he would always answered with ‘cherry’.

“I remember, you also like to eat cherry right?” Mu Xiaoya

remembered that every time she went to Grandma Bai’s house when
she was a child, there would always be cherries on top of the table.
Grandma Bai told her that Bai Chuan also liked eating cherries.

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded.

TL NOTE:

Unexpectedly, the other three people there were all relieved even
after being given a mouthful of dog food (being shown lovey-dovey
scene, it came from the term ‘single dog’ which refers to single
people)

That vacation looks very nice~ I love travelling to beautiful looking

places and I love the sight of the pink and white cherry forest~

Chapter 20

The cherry orchard that Mu Xiaoya wanted to go but never had the
chance to was the hometown of her friend Liang Nuonuo. After
graduating in her last life, she has been thinking of the places that
she hadn’t been able to go to, so Mu Xiaoya set it as her honeymoon
destination with Bai Chuan. Moreover, Liang Nuonuo’s cherry orchard
was located in the mountain area, according to Liang Nuonuo herself,
her hometown was picturesque, it was not lacking with other tourist
destinations outside.

The most important thing was the calmness of the mountain and
the fewer population, it should make Bai Chuan more comfortable.

After checking their luggage, they said goodbye to Uncle Li who

brought them to the airport, then Mu Xiaoya led Bai Chuan to enter
inside the waiting room. Because they had booked first-class tickets,
there wasn’t many people in the waiting room with them. Mu Xiaoya
calculated the time for the plane’s landing while contacting Liang
Nuonuo to pick them up there.

Liang Nuonuo: ‘After you get off the plane, take a taxi to the train
station and buy the latest trip to Rongxian. I’ll arrange someone to
pick you guys then.’

Mu Xiaoya raised her eyebrows: ‘Still has to take the train ah?’

Liang Nuonuo: ‘It’s inconvenient in rural areas. However, the

scenery on the road along the way is really good, the train itself is
the green painted one that’s about to be withdrawn from history.’

Mu Xiaoya: ‘But I still don’t really want to take it.’

Liang Nuonuo: ‘I can’t take you guys from the airport this time ah,

www.asianovel.com
 169 Report
wait until you guys arrive, this slave’s family will treat you guys well.
(winking.gif)’

Mu Xiaoya snorted a laugh. She turned to look at Bai Chuan and

found that he was turning his head to look at her with a questioning
expression on his face.

“Nuonuo said, we have to change and take the train after we got
off the plane. I estimate it would be almost dark when we get to the
cherry orchard.” Mu Xiaoya explained.

Bai Chuan nodded, indicating that he had no opinion on that. But

this Nuonuo, he seemed to have heard it in the past.

“Nuonuo, was she the friend who lent you money last time?” Bai
Chuan asked.

“You heard that?” Mu Xiaoya was a little embarrassed. She just

wanted to buy Bai Chuan a headset but still had to borrow money for
it, it was truly embarrassing. When she called, she deliberately
walked a little further, but she didn’t expect that Bai Chuan could still
heard her.

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded. That’s right, he heard it.

“Cough~~” Mu Xiaoya coughed uncomfortably.

“Here.” Suddenly, there was a silver bank card in front of her.

“This is?” Mu Xiaoya blanked.

“My salary card.” Bai Chuan said, “All for you, don’t need to borrow
money.”

The next day after Bai Zheng listened to his brother’s request, he
went to the company’s financial department to urgently settle Bai
Chuan’s accounts. And to not let his brother, who was particularly
sensitive to numbers, find any problems, he specifically instructed

www.asianovel.com
 170 Report
the financial department to count Bai Chuan’s salary up until the last
two digits after the decimal point. After that, before he went to work
this morning, he personally gave it to Bai Chuan.

“Your salary card?” Mu Xiaoya was a bit surprised, she took a while
to process things through. Li Rong had told her before that Bai Chuan
was working, it seemed that he did programming in their company.

“En, handing over salary card.” Bai Chuan’s hand stretched

forward again.

Handing over salary card? Does he understand what this means?

Also, how did Bai Chuan know about ‘handing over salary card’, who
told him about that?

Mu Xiaoya can’t help but asked him, “Who told you to hand over
your salary card?”

“Grandma said, when I get married in the future, I have to hand

over my salary card to my wife.” This was what his grandmother told
him the first day he went to work. Although it has been a long time,
but Bai Chuan had a good memory, and thus can remember it
clearly, “You’re my wife, so I give you my salary card.”

You’re my wife!

Bai Chuan’s tone was flat and not at all domineering, but Mu
Xiaoya can’t help herself from blushing.

This guy ah, he’s a natural at teasing, why didn’t I find it before?

“You’re giving me all your money?” Mu Xiaoya took the salary

card.

“Give you all, the password is my birthday, my birthday is…”

“I know, the day before the school’s term starts.” Mu Xiaoya

remembered that Bai Chuan’s birthday was on 31st August. When

www.asianovel.com
 171 Report
she was young, before the start of school’s new term, she would go
to Grandma Bai’s house and helped her preparing for Bai Chuan’s
birthday. That was Bai Chuan’s birthday, and also Mu Xiaoya’s last
summer vacation day’s big meal.

“En.” Bai Chuan’s smile lit up instantly as his dimples came out
again. Xiaoya remembered his birthday, although her memory wasn’t
good, but she remembered his birthday. Even though he hasn’t had
his birthday with her anymore since four years ago, but she still
hasn’t forgotten!

She didn’t forget~~

Unable to bear it, Bai Chuan jumped in joy a little.

“Then, I’ll spend it oh.” Mu Xiaoya wasn’t polite, she didn’t have
much money left after all. Although Liang Nuonuo will host them on
this trip and she wouldn’t have to spend much money, but she still
need money to cover the cost of their travel. Secondly, in their trip
this time, the Bai family didn’t give them any extra money, it must be
because they already knew the existence of this card. She just didn’t
know how much salary Bai Chuan had, can it support the family (she
and Bai Chuan)…

Mu Xiaoya thought for a moment, and suddenly understood the

sense of security that those married colleagues of hers said before.

After flying for two hours, the plane landed safely. They took their
luggage, and Mu Xiaoya called a cab and went straight to the train
station. Waiting for the train to come, Mu Xiaoya sent a message to
report to Liang Nuonuo.

As Liang Nuonuo said, the only train that operated in Rongxian was
really the green painted train, this was the first time Mu Xiaoya had
used such a train. The speed of the green train was really slow, no air
conditioning, the benches was hard, just like those old ones in the
museum. But none of these were the worst. The worst was that there

www.asianovel.com
 172 Report
were too many people on the train, and after the train started, the
passengers were free to move around. Not only that, but the tourists
from far and wide liked to chat on the way as the various topics and
dialects all mixed and buzzed around inside the train.

Mu Xiaoya turned her head to look at Bai Chuan subconsciously,

and as she predicted, Bai Chuan’s brows were frowning.

“Uncomfortable?” Mu Xiaoya asked with worry.

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded, he didn’t like the noisy environment.

“Then, listen to some music with your headphone.” Mu Xiaoya put

on the headphones that was around Bai Chuan’s neck, then took out
her phone and played the piano songs that was used to calm Bai
Chuan down.

Bai Chuan’s expression relaxed a little, but he was still pursing his
lips, it was apparent that he’s still feeling unease.

“We’ll sit here for two hours, two hours are really quick. You should
sleep for a while, I’ll call you when we arrive.”

Bai Chuan nodded uncomfortably, then he turned up the volume

on his headphones, laying stiffly on the hard bench of the green
train.

Mu Xiaoya didn’t dare to make any noise, she only sat quietly while
watching the scenery outside the window. As Liang Nuonuo said,
although the train was old and rusty, but the scenery along the way
was really beautiful.

The train was very slow, but there were many stops along the way,
it would stop almost every half an hour to pick up other groups of
guests. When it stopped for the second time, there were a pair of
grandparent and grandchildren sitting opposite her. The little girl was
about five or six years old, seemingly to have just separated from her
parents and was wailing her heart away.

www.asianovel.com
 173 Report
“Wuwuwuwu…I want my mommy, I want my mommy~~”

“Good child, don’t cry, we’ll be back after summer vacation.”

Grandma coaxed patiently.

At this time, Bai Chuan who had been sleeping quietly started to
move, as he seemed to be disturbed by the noise. Mu Xiaoya was
startled, she hurriedly pulled out a large box of chocolate from her
bag in front of the little girl.

Children of this age usually loves sweets but was restricted by their
parents. When she was suddenly shown so much chocolate in front of
her, her cries and wails stopped in an instant.

“Good little sister, don’t cry, let brother sleep for a while. This box
of chocolates is for you, alright?” Mu Xiaoya coaxed gently.

The little girl turned her head subconsciously to look at the

sleeping brother, and then she kept on watching and looking, she
couldn’t keep her eyes off. It made Mu Xiaoya think that there must
be something on Bai Chuan’s face, but there was nothing after she
looked carefully, his face was clean, her sleeping face looked just like
an angel.

“Brother’s eyelashes are so long ah.” Suddenly, the little girl

shouted, “Just like a giraffe.”

Mu Xiaoya blanked, and when she looked at Bai Chuan’s eyes, she
found out that they were really long, especially when he looked at
her with his glimmering eyes.

“Then, we shouldn’t wake the giraffe up, okay?” Mu Xiaoya

couldn’t help smiling.

“En.” The little girl was well-educated. After being told by Mu

Xiaoya, she not only stopped crying, her hands also didn’t go to get
the chocolates. But Mu Xiaoya insisted on giving the chocolates to
the little girl.

www.asianovel.com
 174 Report
“There’s no need. Just now we disturbed you, it was our mistake
originally.” The girl’s grandma refused.

“It doesn’t matter ah, this chocolate is my meeting gift to this little
sister, thank you for praising my husband’s eyelashes.” Mu Xiaoya
laughed.

“Your husband?” The old woman was somewhat surprised,

apparently she didn’t expect that the two couple who looked like
students were already married. But when she looked at them once
again, she felt that the couple looked very well-matched.

“En, we just got married.”

“Ah, then I guess this can be considered as wedding sweets?” the

old woman said as she gave her congratulations. She didn’t refuse
the chocolates anymore as it was a blessing to receive this kind of
sweets.

The train continued to move slowly, the continuous, monotonous

sounds of the railroad against the train always made people sleepy.
When they were about to stop at the third station, Mu Xiaoya was
also a little sleepy, and she unknowingly fell asleep beside Bai
Chuan.

A new group of passengers got on the train, large and small bags
were crowded in the corridor as the train became more noisy. Bai
Chuan moved and opened his eyes slowly when he found Mu
Xiaoya’s sleeping face against him.

I see it again, every time I wake up, I can see Xiaoya’s sleeping
face~~

Bai Chuan smiled slowly, he didn’t move a muscle as he kept on

staring at Mu Xiaoya, just like when he got up every morning these
days, he always stared at Mu Xiaoya for a while.

“Brother, sister will wake up if you look again.” Suddenly, a childish

www.asianovel.com
 175 Report
voice was heard. Because the child was too close, the headphones
couldn’t block out her voice.

Bai Chuan turned his head subconsciously and saw a pair of

unfamiliar grandparent and grandchild. The little girl was holding a
box of chocolates, the one which Xiaoya put in her bag this morning.
This discovery made Bai Chuan felt closer to the pair of old and
young in front of him.

“Brother, do you especially, especially~ like sister?” The little girl

asked innocently.

Bai Chuan blanked. Except with a few of familiar people, he would

take a few moments to answer other people’s questions.

“Don’t talk nonsense.” The old woman saw Bai Chuan’s expression
was not right, so she quickly taught her granddaughter.

“It’s also like that with me. When I was sleeping, mama would
always stare at me, she would wake me up with her stare every time
ah. I asked her why she stared at me so much, and she said that’s
because she really like me.” The little girl pouted with dissatisfaction.

“…” The old woman gave an awkward glance to Bai Chuan and
stuffed the girl’s mouth with chocolate, “Don’t talk anymore, eat
sweets.”

“En.” Bai Chuan suddenly opened his mouth, “Especially like.”

The old woman blanked a while, then revealed a kind smile. It took
a long time for this guy to answer, it turns out he was just shy ah,
very different with his wife’s character, but they complete each
other.

“Brother, although you like sister very much, but you can’t keep
staring on her, because the person who sleeps can also feel you
staring oh. It would be uncomfortable if you don’t get enough sleep.”
the little girl said to the big brother, “At most… you can watch for

www.asianovel.com
 176 Report
one minute.”

The little girl, with chocolate smearing her fingers, pointed straight
in front of Bai Chuan like a cute big sister.

Bai Chuan looked blankly for a long time before he gave a soft
hum.

The little girl took back her already aching little hands and secretly
sighed in her heart: These adults are so childish, even if I don’t let
you watch too much ah, but you still don’t have to think about it for
such a long time.

TL NOTE:

Unable to bear it, Bai Chuan jumped in joy a little. – I’m dying from
cuteness… （ｉДｉ）You know that pain when you watch a puppy /

“Just like a giraffe.” – if you guys still don’t know, giraffe’s eyes are

wedding sweets （喜糖）- according to asiaweddingnetwork.com,

giving out candy to friends and family represent that the couple
wants to share the festivities and get everyone’s blessings.
Generally, the four common candies are chocolate, rock sugar, melon
candy, and smaller cookie candies. These are the traditional symbols
of sweetness in a marriage.

Not At All Uncomfortable

“When you get off the train, someone will pick you up. The
license plate number is Rong 888*9.”1 In Chinese numerology, 888
has a different meaning, triple fortune, a strengthening of the
meaning of the digit 8. For this reason, addresses and phone
numbers containing the digit sequence 888 are considered
particularly lucky, and may command a premium because of it.

Bai Chuan dragged their luggage, and

Mu Xiaoya looked around the station exit for Liang Nuonuo’s car. She
said she will send a car to pick them up, but after a long time, she
didn’t see a car that was supposed to pick people up.

“Didn’t give a phone number either.” Mu Xiaoya muttered. She

was about to call Liang Nuonuo, but saw a man wearing a straw hat
and overalls waving to her from afar.

“Is it Mu Xiaoya?” The man’s voice was so loud that it could be

heard across the square.

Mu Xiaoya froze, and saw the man running over: “Little girl, are
you Mu Xiaoya?”

“I am, and you?”

“Nuonuo sent me to pick you up, let’s go. The car is at the front
entrance.” As he said that, the man reached out enthusiastically to

www.asianovel.com

pick up the suitcase in Bai Chuan’s hand. Who knew that before his
hand could touch the suitcase, Bai Chuan had already ducked away.

The man grabbed air, then gave a strange glance at Bai Chuan,
seeing that Bai Chuan had a calm face and didn’t speak, he thought
he did something wrong.

Was it because he just delivered goods to the city and the smell
of sweat was too heavy and people from the city wasn’t used to
smelling it? Thinking about this, the man immediately apologized:
“I’m sorry, the sweat on my body is too strong. It must have assailed
your noses.”

“No, you misunderstood, my husband is introverted and doesn’t

like physical contact with people.” Mu Xiaoya knew the other party
had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.

“Oh, hehehe… ok.” The man smiled and didn’t take it seriously
then. When he saw the other side didn’t need help taking the
suitcase, he led the two forward. “My name is Liang Cheng. I’m from
the same village as Nuonuo. You can call me Uncle Liang. I just
brought a cart of goods to the town this morning and just sold out
and was about to go back, then Nuonuo said she had two friends who
specially came to see her from the big city and asked me to pick
them up.”

“We inconvenienced you.”

“No inconvenience, no inconvenience at all.”

Mu Xiaoya smiled and wondered, “How did you recognized me

just now?”

“How did I recognize ah. We don’t usually see well-dressed

people like you in our small country town. I could easily find you at a
glance when you stopped at the square.” Liang Cheng smiled
cheerfully, “Especially your family’s man, coming from that station

www.asianovel.com
 179 Report
was just like coming out of the TV.”

Your family’s man? This description is really

direct and crude ah. Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but blush again.

How can I be married now, but still be ashamed of it? No, I

just have to have thicker skin. Mu Xiaoya shook her head and tried to
“cheer up”.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Chuan asked with concern.

“It’s okay, it’s just a little hot.” Mu Xiaoya used the hot weather
to cover up her blush, although Bai Chuan may not have
seen anything from her face.

Bai Chuan paused and found that Mu Xiaoya’s face was

sweating a lot, so he pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket to
help Mu Xiaoya wipe her face.

“I … I’ll do it myself.” Mu Xiaoya grabbed the handkerchief and

wiped her sweat, but her fingers still felt the coolness
of Bai Chuan’s fingertips.

‘Why is my temperature so much higher than Bai Chuan?!!’

Mu Xiaoya thought blankly.

“Okay, put the suitcase in the back.” At this time, Liang Cheng
shouted suddenly.

Mu Xiaoya turned her head and found that Liang Cheng was
standing in front of a truck, and he pointed to the back of it, which
also held a pile of empty fruit baskets.

“…” No wonder she couldn’t find the car herself. It turned out
that it was a truck that came to pick her up. Liang Nuonuo, that dead
girl, didn’t say it in advance, which made her just look for the license
plate number on a car.

www.asianovel.com
 180 Report
Liang Cheng helped the two and put their luggage in the car,
then said to Mu Xiaoya: “I have a small space in the front of the car,
so I can only take one person, or do you want your man to sit in the
back?”

Mu Xiaoya probed the car interior and found that there were
only two seats in the front of the car. Suddenly, she frowned slightly.
She would be uneasy is Bai Chuan sat alone behind in the truck, but
she would still be uneasy if Bai Chuan sat in the passenger seat up
front as well.

“Uncle Liang, let us both sit in the back.” Mu Xiaoya decided not
to be separated from Bai Chuan.

“The back will be bumpy, and we will be on the mountain road

for a long time. The bumps will be very severe.”

Then Bai Chuan can’t be left alone.

“It’s okay. Nuonuo said that the scenery here is very beautiful.
I will sit back and look at it.” Mu Xiaoya casually made an excuse.

“Okay, all right.” Liang Cheng didn’t persuade her again. “You
people from the city ah, are used to living in the city usually, like
to see our mountains and rivers here ah.” Their mountain scenery
is good, and occasionally some city friends like to come visit, so
Liang Cheng didn’t think there was any problem
with Mu Xiaoya’s excuse.

Mu Xiaoya smiled and didn’t speak, then climbed into the car
with Bai Chuan. She set their suitcases down and they sat on their
suitcases with their backs against the truck’s cab.

It took more than half an hour to drive from the country town to
Liang Nuonuo’s home and during that time, they spent more than ten
minutes on the mountain road. In the first half, the car moved
smoothly. When they entered the mountain, Liang Cheng shouted

www.asianovel.com
 181 Report
out, “The road is going to be bumpy, you have to stabilize yourselves
ah.”

“Okay.” Mu Xiaoya responded loudly, then turned her head to

remind Bai Chuan, when the car suddenly turned a corner. She was
thrown by inertia and landed into Bai Chuan’s arms.

Bai Chuan leaned against the car’s baggage compartment and

firmly held Mu Xiaoya in his arms.

“That … Uncle Liang said, the road ahead isn’t good. So,
let’s stabilize.” Mu Xiaoya said that as if she slapped herself and
couldn’t help but add. “Don’t get thrown like me.”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded seriously.

Mu Xiaoya sat up from Bai Chuan’s arms, then grabbed the

back of the baggage compartment tightly with both hands to prepare
for the next section of the mountain road that hasn’t
been traversed.

“Clang, clang dang, clang dang dang~~”

Their bodies rise and fell with the car and the back of their
waists stuck against the car’s baggage compartment. They bumped
down several times and ached. But Mu Xiaoya didn’t dare to reach
out to rub the ache, for fear that if she let go, her whole person
would lose its stability.

“Clang dang~~”

The car was bumpy again, just as Mu Xiaoya gritted her teeth
and was about to collide against the surface again, an arm
quietly cushioned Mu Xiaoya’s back. Mu Xiaoya only felt her back
was soft and her body was caught in a warm embrace.

“Bai Chuan?!” Mu Xiaoya turned back.

www.asianovel.com
 182 Report
“It hurts, I’m blocking it.” Bai Chuan’s voice was very low. If it
wasn’t for Mu Xiaoya’s ears, the voice would be almost lost in the
whistling of the truck. But Bai Chuan didn’t need Mu Xiaoya to hear,
he just didn’t want Mu Xiaoya to have the same bruises on her back
like him.

Xiaoya was too ticklish and she won’t let him touch her. If she
was injured, he couldn’t massage and apply medicine for her, so she
couldn’t get hurt.

Mu Xiaoya was quietly pasted within Bai Chuan’s arms. With

every bump from the car, both of them had closer contact.
Mu Xiaoya didn’t know how to describe her feeling at that time, but
she felt that this embrace seemed to be a circle of a small world and
all around it was quiet. She could only hear the other’s heartbeat and
breath. And all her feelings were in Bai Chuan’s powerful arms.

She didn’t know how long it took after that, but the car suddenly
stopped. Liang Cheng stepped out of the cockpit and said to the two
with a smile: “Here we are.”

“Here we are?” Mu Xiaoya suddenly returned to her senses.

“It’s Nuonuo family’s cherry orchard.” Liang Cheng said, while

helping to pick up the luggage that the two handed down.

“Thank you, Uncle Liang.” After getting out of the car,

Mu Xiaoya pulled out a box of chocolates from her backpack and
handed it over. “I have a box of chocolates. Here you go.”

“This won’t do, I said that this was on my way, so it was

convenient.” Liang Cheng waved his hand and said he would not
accept it.

“This is the souvenir gift we casually bought. It’s not expensive,

it’s to show our appreciation.”

“That’s fine.” The people from the mountains

www.asianovel.com
 183 Report
were straightforward. When they saw Mu Xiaoya really wanted to gift
it, they didn’t refuse it again.

“Soon Nuonuo will come down to pick us up in a minute.

“Mu Xiaoya smiled.

“Okay, then I’m leaving. Come and have dinner at this uncle’s
house when you’re free.” Liang Cheng waved his hand and drove
away in his pick-up truck with a clang-dang.

Until the sound of the truck could no longer be heard,

Bai Chuan’s brows slightly loosened. He had never seen such a noisy
car before, which was even louder than the train.

“Mu Mu!” At this moment, a bright female voice came down

from the hillside, then a girl in a plaid shirt ran down the mountain
like the wind.

“Nuo Nuo.” Mu Xiaoya was so happy that she let go of her

suitcase and ran to meet her. The two flower-like girls hugged on the
grassy hillside, smiling like two five-year-old toddlers.

Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya’s smile, and all the

discontentment that had accumulated from the noisy journey
instantly dissipated. His eyes were bright, even shone with some
satisfaction. He thought that if he could see Xiaoya’s smile every
time he had to experience such noise, then he felt that the noise
wasn’t so unbearable.

The two laughed enough, and Liang Nuonuo then devoted her
time to look at the young man who had been standing quietly under
the hillside. At his appearance, she immediately said with jealousy
and envy, “What a beautiful youth, how could he encounter you.”

“Jealous ah?” Mu Xiaoya laughed. “I got in line more than ten

years in advance. ”

“Xing Xing Xing,2means keep going forward…references a

historical poem I know your childhood sweethearts.”

They walked back a few steps and Liang Nuonuo extended her
hand to Bai Chuan: “Hello, my name is Liang Nuonuo, and I’m your
wife’s good friend.”

Mu Xiaoya turned her head to see Bai Chuan, but instead of

urging or reminding him, she quietly waited
for Bai Chuan’s response.

Bai Chuan first looked at Liang Nuonuo’s outstretched hand,

then looked at Liang Nuonuo’s face, his movement was slow and
expressionless.

Liang Nuonuo wasn’t impatient, still with a goodwill smile, she

patiently waited for Bai Chuan’s response. Bai Chuan’s situation has
long been mentioned by Mu Xiaoya, so she didn’t feel strange or
impatient at this time.

“Hello.” After two minutes, Bai Chuan finally gave a response,

but he just said hello and didn’t reach out to
shake Liang Nuonuo’s outstretched hand.

But just this answer made Mu Xiaoya very happy. Because it

took Bai Chuan only two minutes for him to accept her friend.

“I’ve decided, the next time I talk to him, I will definitely not
take action.” Her hand was outstretched for a long time and felt a
little sour, and Liang Nuonuo couldn’t help but rub her hand and
complain to roast Mu Xiaoya.

Mu Xiaoya ignored her, holding Bai Chuan’s hand, and they

went up the mountain.

Liang Nuonuo clutched Mu Xiaoya’s luggage and followed,

leading the two into the small wooden house in the cherry orchard.

There are five cabins total lined up in a row. They were built in

www.asianovel.com
 185 Report
the middle of the cherry orchard.

Liang Nuonuo gave Mu Xiaoya the middle room and then

introduced: “The kitchen is in the back and at the right is the
bathroom. Take a bath and change your clothes, then we will eat. I
live next door. You can call me anytime.”

“Okay.” Mu Xiaoya glanced briefly at the wooden house, the

internal space is very large, about twenty ft2. Although the
decoration of the room was simple, it was very sentimental.
Liang Nuonuo even prepared them a crimson mandarin
duck3Usually this image is associated with a happy marry
couple/lovers quilt, just like a bridal chamber.

“Then I’ll go make dinner first.” When walking to the door,

Liang Nuonuo turned back and winked at
Mu Xiaoya. “Friendly reminder.”

“What?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“The sound insulation here isn’t good, you guys … pay attention
at night.” After finishing, Liang Nuonuo quickly rushed out of the door
and happened to avoid Mu Xiaoya’s bout of rage from the humiliation
from her flying shoe assault.

When she missed, Mu Xiaoya turned around and

met Bai Chuan’s line of sight, so the disharmonious thoughts that
Liang Nuonuo drawn out from her brain suddenly overflowed and she
couldn’t accept them.

“It’s okay, I can wear headphones.” Bai Chuan said that

since Xiaoya bought the headphones for him, so he wasn’t afraid of
the noise as before.

“…” What’s the use of wearing headphones for that kind of

thing!!!

Bai Chuan Very Good

After taking a bath, Bai Chuan sat on the edge of the bed and
slowly wiped his hair. His movements were very slow, as if counting
the time. He stared at the door, waiting for Mu Xiaoya to return.

Just now he came back from the shower, Xiaoya said she would
go out for a while and to have him wait here.

“Squeak ~~”

The wooden door was pushed open, and Mu Xiaoya came in

with a medicinal scent, Bai Chuan’s eyes brightened imperceptibly
and his heart felt inexplicably relieved.

Returned! (#^.^#)

“Why haven’t you dried your hair yet?” Mu Xiaoya asked. When
she went out just now, Bai Chuan was wiping his hair. She calculated
the time and it had been about four or five minutes. How could
Bai Chuan still be drying his hair?

Bai Chuan froze, and awkwardly stopped his movements. Then

after a while, he remembered to answer Mu Xiaoya: “It’s dry.”

Bai Chuan felt a little guilty. Just now, he was waiting for
Mu Xiaoya to return. For a while, he forgot he was still wiping his
hair.

www.asianovel.com
 187 Report
Mu Xiaoya pulled out an ointment from a medicine box, then
turned and said to Bai Chuan, who was sitting on the bed: “Take off
your clothes and let me see your back.” The road was too
bumpy earlier. Mu Xiaoya was afraid that Bai Chuan was hurt, she
wouldn’t feel relieve until she had a look.

Bai Chuan didn’t hesitate. In front of Mu Xiaoya, he took off the

white T-shirt that he just put on, exposing the white shiny skin under
the clothes.

“Cough… turn around.” Her eyes were dazzled by

Bai Chuan’s white skin. Mu Xiaoya ignored the embarrassment of her
heart, walked to the bed and motioned to Bai Chuan to turn around.
Bai Chuan turned his back, revealing the bruised skin on his back.

Sure enough, it was blue.

Mu Xiaoya frowned, and looked at the big bruises with distress.

The bump was just a little more than ten minutes old. It was less than
an hour since they left the car, how could it be bruised to this
extent?

“Does it hurt?” Mu Xiaoya gently touched Bai Chuan’s back with

her fingertips.

“It hurts.” Bai Chuan doesn’t have the so-called male

chauvinism of ordinary men. If you ask him, he will say it hurts.

Mu Xiaoya immediately blamed herself: “Then why did you still

hold me? You wouldn’t be hurt like this.”

The weight of the two had been borne by Bai Chuan alone, and
the impact force on his back against the car’s baggage compartment
doubled. In order to hold her, Bai Chuan could only use one hand to
maintain the balance of her body, which will inevitably reduce the
buffer. Therefore, most of the bruises on Bai Chuan’s back were
caused by her.

www.asianovel.com
 188 Report
“If I hold you, I will be the only one hurt.” Bai Chuan replied.

With his heated eyes, Mu Xiaoya suddenly wanted to cry. Even

after two lifetimes, Mu Xiaoya had never truly thought about it. That
one day that he would hug her for a while because of the car, she
was so moved she wanted to cry.

In fact, Professor Feng and Grandma Bai were both wrong.

Whoever said that people with autism couldn’t express emotions–
Mu Xiaoya believed that Bai Chuan’s emotions could reached other’s
hearts directly.

“I … I’ll get you some ice.” With red eyes, Mu Xiaoya turned and
went out. When she turned to the kitchen to find
ice, she met her friend Liang Nuonuo.

“Mu Mu, why are you crying?” Liang Nuonuo saw

Mu Xiaoya’s eyes reddened, and immediately asked nervously.

“It’s all right, do you have an ice pack here?” Mu Xiaoya smiled
and tried to adjust her emotions.

“There’s ice in the freezer. I’ll wrap it in a towel for you.”

Liang Nuonuo didn’t want to continue talking when she saw
Mu Xiaoya’s eyes, so she didn’t ask again, and made an ice bag for
Mu Xiaoya with a towel.

“Thank you.” Mu Xiaoya turned around with the ice pack and
left, and Liang Nuonuo stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at
the direction her friend left at, her eyes flashing with worry.

When Mu Xiaoya returned to the room, Bai Chuan had

continued to sit with his back to her, as if he hadn’t moved since she
left. The bruise on his back seemed to have expanded a bit.

“Xiao Chuan, you lay on the bed.” Mu Xiaoya walked over with
the ice.

www.asianovel.com
 189 Report
Bai Chuan laid down obediently.

“It’s a bit of ice, but if you apply it, the bruises won’t spread.”
Mu Xiaoya explained.

“En.” Bai Chuan gave a soft hum.

Mu Xiaoya applied a towel wrapped with ice cubes to

Bai Chuan’s back. She gently carried the weight of the ice pack in her
hands, for fear of loosening her hands, she would further hurt Bai
Chuan’s damaged skin.

After the ice was applied, Mu Xiaoya once again took out the
ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis
and applied it on Bai Chuan. Her fingers gently stroked the back of
Bai Chuan’s back and lingered around the waist. The bruise on
Bai Chuan’s waist was the most severe. After applying the ice, a
trace of purple appeared in the blue. Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but
coat this area with the ointment several times.

“Xiaoya ~~” Bai Chuan suddenly made a sound.

“Huh?” Mu Xiaoya responded casually, her fingers still

applying the ointment.

“Why don’t I itch when you touch me, but you itch when I touch
you.” Bai Chuan turned his head back and asked earnestly.

“!!!” What, you touch me, I touch you?

Mu Xiaoya’s eyes looked at Bai Chuan’s curious eyes, then tried

to warn herself to not be crooked, “Because…because my meat is
itchy there, it just tickles.”

“Then why didn’t I grow up to be like that.”

“Everyone’s sensitivity aren’t the same. You don’t have a

ticklish waist. Maybe you grew up to be ticklish somewhere else.”

www.asianovel.com
 190 Report
“Oh.” Bai Chuan understood. He turned around and lay down
quietly. “It turns out that Xiaoya’s sensitive spot is her waist.”

“Spurt~~” Mu Xiaoya’s hand tightened and a good chunk of the

ointment was squeeze out instantly by her grip.

Looking at the big lump of white ointment on the back of her

hand, Mu Xiaoya applied it all on Bai Chuan’s back fiercely. His back
became so sticky and greasy that he would need another shower to
get it off.

For dinner, there are only three people, Mu Xiaoya,

Bai Chuan and the host, Liang Nuonuo.

“It’s only us, how about other people?” Mu Xiaoya asked

strangely, such a large cherry orchard couldn’t only
have Liang Nuonuo.

“Everyone else has gone home. They are all help from the
village.” Liang Nuonuo answered.

“What about uncle and aunt?”

“My parents went to see my sister. They won’t be back until two
days later, but they won’t be returning here. They are used to living
in the village.” Liang Nuonuo said.

Mu Xiaoya nodded clearly: “Do you really plan to plant cherries

here in the future?” This question, Mu Xiaoya knowingly asked,
because in the next four years, Liang Nuonuo did stay in her
hometown.

“I plan to open a Taobao1This is like an online store like the

United State’s Etsy website specialized shop that sells all kinds of
fruits.” Liang Nuonuo said with a smile. “We have good soil and
water here. The fruits we grow are better than those outside. I plan
to start with my cherry orchard first. If the benefits are good, we will
mobilize the villagers to work together.”

www.asianovel.com
 191 Report
“Do you want to make the whole village rich?”

“Yes ah. You have a high level of

consciousness.” Liang Nuonuo laughed.

“I’m sorry, I admire you.”

“Come and try our cherries.” Liang Nuonuo put a washed plate
of cherries in front of Mu Xiaoya. “It’s getting late today, and I can’t
show you around right now, but I’ll show you around tomorrow.”

Mu Xiaoya responded by taking a cherry and tasting it, and

found that it was juicy and delicious. It was a lot sweeter than the
cherries she usually eats, and her eyes brightened, and she picked
another one up. A cherry was placed in front of Bai Chuan:
“Xiao Chuan, taste it. This cherry is sweeter than the ones bought in
Yuncheng.”

Bai Chuan, who ate quietly, put down his chopsticks and
swallowed the cherry in Mu Xiaoya’s hand.

“Is it delicious?” Mu Xiaoya asked immediately.

“It’s delicious.” Bai Chuan nodded, but instead of continuing to

eat the cherries, he picked up the chopsticks again and continued his
unfinished dinner.

“Tomorrow, we can go to the orchard and pick our own.”

“En.” Bai Chuan stopped eating again, and after his good
response, he continued to eat.

Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan didn’t feel there was anything wrong
with how they communicated, but Liang Nuonuo on the side was
tired after watching for a while. Bai Chuan was so quiet, she even
forgot his existence when chatting with Mu Xiaoya just now. Now that
Bai Chuan had responded, but was like a mannequin talking, he
would only give a small response when Mu Xiaoya asked him. Once

www.asianovel.com
 192 Report
Mu Xiaoya stopped talking, he was quiet as if she didn’t exist…

‘Although I have known that autism was like this, now that I see
it with my own eyes. I personally can see the difference between
them and normal people.’ Liang Nuonuo was now deeply aware of
the difficulty and felt powerless. Was this person really Mu Mu’s
future husband? Will Mu Mu be able to guide him so patiently for the
next few decades? Just thinking about it, Liang Nuonuo instantly
understood the concerns that Fang Hui mentioned to her before.

Too tired, if Mu Mu lived like this, it would be really tiring.

“Why don’t you eat?” Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but remind

Liang Nuonuo when she was deep in her thoughts.

“Hic, thinking about things.” Liang Nuonuo returned to her

senses.

“What were you thinking about?”

“I was wondering if you two would model for me tomorrow.”

Liang Nuonuo said with a smile. “I plan to take some good-looking
photos and upload them to my Taobao store. You two should
cooperate with me and take some photos.”

“You want a model and you don’t even sell

clothes.” Mu Xiaoya didn’t understand.

“You don’t understand. These days, good-looking people always

attract attention. If I put both of you on my page, when guests
browse, they will stay for a few more seconds. Maybe they will buy
after looking?”

“Then you should do it yourself ah. I will take the pictures for
you. I was a design student; my technique will be better than
yours.”

The two got lost in a heated argument. For the remaining time

www.asianovel.com
 193 Report
for dinner, it became lively, but the only interaction was between
those two people. The third person, Bai Chuan, was like a quiet
puppet, who never took the initiative to interject.

After having dinner, Mu Xiaoya was afraid that Bai Chuan was
tired and asked him to go back to the room to rest first while she and
Liang Nuonuo sat under the cherry tree to continue chatting.

“Bai Chuan, has he always been so quiet?” Bai Chuan wasn’t

here anymore, and Liang Nuonuo dared to bring up the topic
about him.

“En, he’s been quiet since he was a kid.” Mu Xiaoya smiled, and
probably guessed what Liang Nuonuo was going to say next.

“Before…” Liang Nuonuo paused, then asked in a different tone.

“Is he better now?”

“It’s much better. I used to ask him questions when I was young,
but now he will occasionally take the initiative to speak.” But it
seems only when they were alone.

“That’s good. I thought he would only respond when you took

the initiative to talk to him.” Liang Nuonuo breathed a sigh of
relief once she found out he took the initiative to speak. At least it
wasn’t a unilateral communication.

“Thank you ah.” Mu Xiaoya thanked her suddenly.

“Why did you say thank you all of a sudden?” Liang Nuonuo was
surprised.

“Thank you for worrying about me.” Mu Xiaoya laughed.

“But, Nuonuo, don’t look at us with that look you just had.”

“I …” Liang Nuonuo was stunned, hesitated, then quickly

reflected that it was strange that Mu Xiaoya noticed at the dining
table, but she thought her change in topic was too sudden.

“You know, today, you sent a truck to pick us up and we
couldn’t sit in front? Bai Chuan and I can only sit in the back of the
van. When we enter the mountain, the road was very bumpy. In
order for me to be stable, Bai Chuan protected me the entire
time which caused his entire back to be bruised.” Mu Xiaoya looked
up at the starry sky, “I asked him if it hurts, he said it hurts,
but instead of two people being hurt, it was only him that was hurt
instead.”

“People with autism typically don’t lie. If Bai Chuan said it hurts,
then it really hurts. Although I don’t think it will hurt if I bumped
against the truck, he still protected me.” Mu Xiaoya’s eyes became a
little moist again. She wasn’t moved because Bai Chuan suffered
pain for her, she was moved because Bai Chuan was willing to
protect her.

Autistic patients were sometimes viewed as one-dimensional

personalities, that they either want to do it or don’t, but they never
weigh the advantages or disadvantages. Mu Xiaoya knew that even if
it hurts tens or thousands of times more than this, Bai Chuan will still
be willing to protect her.

“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t like to talk. Anyway, if I ask him,

he will answer me, then I will just ask a little more.”
Mu Xiaoya optimistically said, “So don’t look at us that way,
Bai Chuan has a cognitive impairment. He can’t understand the
emotions in other people’s eyes, but he can tell what kind of eyes are
different. ”

Liang Nuonuo listened blankly; her emotions were extremely

complicated.

“I’m sorry.” Liang Nuonuo’s face was full of guilt.

“You mean, when you had a truck come pick us up?”

Mu Xiaoya turned her head and asked in a relaxed tone.

eyes are as bright as the stars. ”

An Unexpected Popular

The wooden house in the cherry orchard didn’t have heavy

curtains in the bedroom. The sun shined in early from the window
and sprinkled sunlight directly onto their faces with enthusiasm. This
allowed Mu Xiaoya to clearly see the attitude of the two of them
when they first wake up in the morning.

She was being tightly embraced by Bai Chuan.

“Good morning.” Mu Xiaoya looked up and saw the

drowsiness in Bai Chuan’s eyes which didn’t recede yet.

Bai Chuan didn’t answer. He wasn’t completely awake yet, but

only felt movements in his arms and unconsciously tightened them.

“…” Mu Xiaoya, who was about to get up was held back.

Fortunately, Bai Chuan quickly woke up. The two changed their
clothes and walked out of the cabin. They looked at the cherry
blossoms in the garden and took a deep breath of the air full of
fragrant fruit. Mu Xiaoya felt comfortable.

“Does your back still hurt?” Mu Xiaoya asked Bai Chuan.

“It hurts.” Bai Chuan nodded.

“…” Forget it, I can’t ask. Even if there is a little pain,

Bai Chuan will still say it hurts. “Is it better?”

www.asianovel.com

“It’s better.”

“Let me see.” Mu Xiaoya walked over, lifted

up Bai Chuan’s clothes and looked at it. She found that the bruise
from yesterday had a deeper color, but it didn’t spread.

“Oh, what are you doing so early this morning, in broad

daylight?” At this time, the neighboring wooden door happened to
open, and Liang Nuonuo covered her eyes as soon as she went out.

Mu Xiaoya’s face froze, then turned to Bai Chuan and said, “I’ll
help you with a hot compress after running, then it will be fine after
two days.”

“Running?” Bai Chuan frowned.

“En, Professor Feng said you need to exercise more.”

Mu Xiaoya didn’t forget Professor Feng’s advice. She took
Bai Chuan out for a walk more often and let him interact with the
outside world and exercise more. In particular, when helping
Bai Chuan with the ice compress yesterday, Mu Xiaoya noticed that
Bai Chuan’s skin was pale, unhealthy, and the flesh was too soft
without any muscles. At first sight, he looked like an otaku who didn’t
exercise all year round.

“You have to run in the morning ah,”

Liang Nuonuo enthusiastically suggested, “You can run over there,
there is a lake there. You can run along the lake, it’s about 800
meters. The scenery by the lake is also good,”
Liang Nuonuo suggested.

Mu Xiaoya dragged the obviously unwilling Bai Chuan to jog.

They ran out of the cherry orchard and ran along the
mountain path for five minutes. Sure enough, she saw the lake that
Liang Nuonuo mentioned. In the early morning, the soft sunlight
sprinkled on the lake, reflecting a sparkling beauty. Mu Xiaoya ran
slowly, only feeling that every breath was fresh and sweet.

“Xiao Chuan, don’t stop, let’s run another lap then go back.”

After running
about one kilometer, Bai Chuan couldn’t run anymore. His
body didn’t listen to his brain, he shook uncoordinated and sweat
from his forehead dripped nonstop. The amazing amount of
perspiration shocked Mu Xiaoya.

Bai Chuan, who was tired and could only breathe through his
mouth, raised his head weakly, then obediently tried to force himself
to run. All he could feel were his limbs filled with lead, dragging him
down. He was so tired that he wanted to lie on the ground right then,
but Mu Xiaoya’s figure was in front of him and appeared to be
getting further and further away. It looked like she would run away if
he didn’t catch up to her. He bit his teeth and chased after her. He
made himself run hard this final time and felt for the first time that
time felt so long.

After finally returning to the cherry orchard, Bai Chuan couldn’t

wait to slump on the ground on the spot.

“Xiao Chuan, don’t sit down. Let’s take a few more steps. You
can’t sit down immediately after running.”

Bai Chuan couldn’t think at this time,

but instinctively followed Mu Xiaoya’s voice.

At the same time, Liang Nuonuo was preparing the meal and
looked at Bai Chuan who was breathing heavily and looked at
Mu Xiaoya reproachfully: “What’s wrong with Bai Chuan.”

“He’s too weak, he only ran two laps.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“Big sister, its unfortunately you’re not making steady progress

in increments ah. Wasn’t it almost two kilometers that you ran, isn’t
this too cruel?”

“Really?” Mu Xiaoya wondered; she usually runs five kilometers

in the morning.

“You have to think about the emptiness you felt when you ran
800 meters in physical education class.” Liang Nuonuo rolled her
eyes at her friend and let her experience it.

Mu Xiaoya reflected on whether she was really too cruel and

poured a glass of water for Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan wheezed for a long time before his brain had the
ability to think again. When he felt parch, Mu Xiaoya handed a glass
of water to his mouth. After he drained it dry, he gasped.

“Was it difficult?” Mu Xiaoya asked in distressed.

“En.” Bai Chuan has never been so tired.

“It seems that two laps are really too long, so let’s run one lap
tomorrow.”

“!!!” Bai Chuan raised his head in shock and opened his mouth
several times but couldn’t speak. Fortunately, Mu Xiaoya was very
patient and didn’t interrupt him. After a while, she heard him say,
“Can… we not run?”

For the first time in his life, Bai Chuan discussed with others
what he didn’t want to do.

“No, your physical fitness is too poor. You must exercise.”

Mu Xiaoya refused without any discussion.

The ray of hope in Bai Chuan’s eyes dimmed a little.

Mu Xiaoya looked so distressed that she almost promised him they
won’t run again, but fortunately, her rationality stopped her in time.

The beauty is mistaken ah ~~

“Oh.” Although he wasn’t willing, Bai Chuan agreed with

www.asianovel.com
 200 Report
Mu Xiaoya’s decision.

Grandma said that after marriage, there will be good and bad
things, but partners should be tolerant of each other. When he chose
Mu Xiaoya, he must tolerate the “bad things” brought by Mu Xiaoya.
Not to mention that everything since their marriage was good except
for running. Bai Chuan comforted himself and decided to tolerate the
“bad things” that Mu Xiaoya brought.

“Go take a shower and change your

clothes.” Bai Chuan sweated so badly that his entire clothes seemed
to be soaked with water, it was impossible to just change.

After having breakfast, Liang Nuonuo took them on a good tour

of the cherry orchard and introduced several beautiful scenic spots in
the mountain to Mu Xiaoya. Finally, they changed into work clothes
and followed her to pick cherries.

Mu Xiaoya picked half a basket of cherries and suddenly felt

back pain. She couldn’t help but doubt: “You let me help you pick
cherries and didn’t cheat me to do all this hard work for you, right?”

“In all honesty, naturally it was in order for you to personally

experience agritourism.” Liang Nuonuo firmly denied it.

“Agritourism, right? Okay, I’ve experienced it enough. I need to

rest.” As soon as Mu Xiaoya took off her hat and gloves, she
collapsed under a tree and didn’t move. “Xiao Chuan don’t pick
anymore. Rest for a while.”

Mu Xiaoya looked at Bai Chuan who was working hard picking

cherries silently, and she had an incredible look on her face. How
could he get so tired after running, but was okay picking cherries for
half an afternoon?

Bai Chuan stopped obediently and took his half basket of

cherries to Mu Xiaoya like he was offering her a treasure. Then took

www.asianovel.com
 201 Report
one of the largest cherries and sent it to Mu Xiaoya’s mouth.

Mu Xiaoya swallowed it with her open mouth and smiled while

saying it was sweet, then Bai Chuan immediately smiled happily.

Almost blinded with her dog eyes, Liang Nuonuo couldn’t help
rolling her eyes. Looking at the sky, Liang Nuonuo suddenly said,
“Now the light is good, it’s suitable to take pictures. I want to take
some pictures. Mu Mu, there are watermelons in the well next to the
kitchen. Go and cut them so we can eat.”

“Why don’t you put the watermelon in the refrigerator, but in

the well?” Mu Xiaoya wondered strangely.

“Because it’s better in the well.”

After that, Liang Nuonuo took the camera and started to take
pictures. Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan walked back. They went to the
well to get the watermelon and cut it with a knife in the kitchen.
Then one person held the watermelon and they sat on the steps of
the wooden house to eat.

En, the taste is cool and comfortable, which is completely

different from the coolness from when its stored in the refrigerator.

Liang Nuonuo, who took a photo with the camera, felt that it
was almost time to go back and eat watermelon, so she walked
back with her camera from the cherry orchard. But
unexpectedly, she saw two people eating watermelon. At this time,
they were sitting with their backs to the setting sun, and the red and
golden sunlight sprinkled down from the wooden roof, like the holy
light from heaven. They were vulgarly eating watermelon but were
caught in the pure and holy radiance.

Liang Nuonuo unconsciously raised her camera and

captured this scene.

“Well, you’re finished?” Mu Xiaoya discovered Liang Nuonuo.

 202 Report
“Where’s my watermelon?” Liang Nuonuo took a picture before
she realized that the couple each had half a watermelon, so there
wasn’t any left for her ah.

“There’s still some in the well, cut it yourself.” Mu Xiaoya said

indifferently.

“…” Liang Nuonuo walked away angrily. When passing by the

two, she also heard Mu Xiaoya asking Bai Chuan: “Isn’t it really cool
to eat the watermelon like this?”

So, you forget about your close friend and let your husband
experience the delicious and refreshing feeling of eating
watermelon?

Single dogs have to learn to take care of themselves.

Liang Nuonuo went to the well and fished a watermelon for herself,
then split it in two. She placed half in the refrigerator and took the
other half with a spoon, then sat down and ate watermelon with the
two people.

“After eating watermelon, I don’t need to cook dinner. I

told Aunt Liu not to cook.” Aunt Liu is a cook who provides meals for
the cherry orchard.

“What to eat.”

“You can still have dinner after eating half a watermelon ah?”

“I can’t eat, but Xiao Chuan can eat ah.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“…” Liang Nuonuo, who suffered two cruel hits, felt that the
watermelon in her hands changed in taste.

After having dinner, Liang Nuonuo sorted out the

photos she took, then sent it to her group on WeChat for publicity,
then bluntly requested the two to forward it: “You two eat my food,
drink my water, live in my house. Quickly, show your friend support

“OK.” Mu Xiaoya was straight-forward, “First of all ah, my

friends are all poor students who have just graduated, and few can
afford to buy cherries.” Cherries are so expensive now ah, almost
dozens of yuan per pound.1It’s like $5.60 per pound in the United
States right now… cherries are expensive for reals.

“And your husband? Did he forward it?” Liang Nuonuo looked

at Bai Chuan.

“He doesn’t need to. There aren’t many people in

his WeChat.” Bai Chuan’s friends on WeChat is estimated to be those
few Bai family members besides himself.

“No matter how few mosquitoes there are ah, they are also
meat. What’s more, isn’t the purpose of a WeChat to spread
information between friends of friends?” Liang Nuonuo said without
objection.

Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but turn around and said to Bai Chuan,
“Xiao Chuan, maybe you can send it on your WeChat.”

Bai Chuan, who was listening to the insects in the mountains,

nodded, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and
forwarded it on WeChat.

familiar figure in a panoramic picture in the cherry orchard.

“Lao Bai, look, isn’t this Xiao Chuan?” Li Rong asked her
husband excitedly.

Bai Guoyu came over to take a look. In the enlarged picture on

his wife’s phone, he really saw a figure who he suspected was
Bai Chuan.

“Xiao Chuan is picking cherries. He looks very happy.” Li Rong

said happily.

“……” The photos are blurry, it was almost impossible to see his
face. Where can she see that Xiao Chuan is happy? But… people
seem to be very energetic.

“Xiao Chuan said that these cherries are delicious, so I will also
buy them.” Li Rong looked at the Taobao URL address marked on the
WeChat, then resolutely opened the Taobao page and bought more
than dozen pounds. Not only that, she also forwarded her son’s post
to her WeChat friends and directly transferred this cherry
advertisement to a circle of ladies in Yuncheng.

Where did Xiao Chuan say it was delicious? This is obviously an

advertisement. Bai Guoyu was a little speechless about his wife’s
impulse purchase.

“You too.” Li Rong turned her head and continued to ask her
husband.

“…” So this WeChat post was transferred to the president

circle of Yuncheng.

At the same time, Bai Zheng, who was still working overtime in
the company, had just finished a WeChat message. At this time, he
was met with a prompt update from WeChat and clicked it
unconsciously. Then his tired eyes suddenly widened: Xiao Chuan,
even posted on WeChat?

Bai Zheng carefully studied the advertisement, then found his

“Come in.” Bai Zheng called the assistant.

“President.” The assistant walked in.

“Notify the administrative department that in the future, I will

buy the fruits for the company’s afternoon tea from the
shop on WeChat.”

WeChat?

Of course, the assistant has the boss’s WeChat. After leaving

the office, he subconsciously opened WeChat. As expected, he saw a
message forwarded by his president thirty seconds ago…
advertisement?

As a result, this advertisement was transferred to

Sudden Clap of Thunder1also means Surprising Turn of Events

The next day, Mu Xiaoya continued to take Bai Chuan for a

morning run, and ran a lap. Although Bai Chuan wasn’t as tired as
yesterday, he was still gasping for breath when he sat under a cherry
tree after running. His precious image of a gongzi was ruined at this
moment.

“Drink some water.” Mu Xiaoya gave water

to Bai Chuan in a timely manner.

Bai Chuan was too tired to speak and took the water to drink.

“You ran great today, tomorrow we will run an extra 100 meters,
okay.” Mu Xiaoya, with a finger on her head, talked to Bai Chuan with
a smile.

Bai Chuan looked at that finger, his tired body was still
protesting, but he nodded to Xiaoya’s smiling eyes.

“Great.” Mu Xiaoya cheered. “We run a kilometer today, then

add one hundred meters every day, so after one month you can
run…”

Four kilometers!

Bai Chuan never thought that such a simple math problem

would give him the urge to faint when he obtained the answer. Does

www.asianovel.com
 207 Report
he have to run every morning and experience this present
pain, progress every day, then after a month, experience the current
pain by four folds?

“I … I may get sick.” Bai Chuan felt that his current condition
was very bad. If his current status worsened four folds, he was
worried he would get sick.

“It’s not going to happen.” Mu Xiaoya waved her hands in tears

and smiled. “Are you trying to make excuses to avoid running?”

“I didn’t.” Bai Chuan was very aggrieved. He wasn’t looking for

an excuse. He was really worried that he would get sick.

“Well, do you want to run or not?”

“Run.” Bai Chuan agreed, aggrieved.

The successful Mu Xiaoya grinned, “Let’s go and have

breakfast.”

Mu Xiaoya pulled Bai Chuan off the ground, and the two

returned to the cabin for breakfast. As soon as the two arrived at the
wooden house, Liang Nuonuo, who was supposed to be preparing
breakfast, appeared to have an epileptic episode and was frantic as
she smiled foolishly at the dining table with her cellphone.

When she asked, she knew it was regarding

Liang Nuonuo’s Taobao store had extremely amazing sales
performance last night. At this time, she was very happy while
looking for help.

In order to ship the goods as soon as possible,

Liang Nuonuo organized employees to pick and pack wildly, and
there was no time to entertain Mu Xiaoya. Mu Xiaoya didn’t mind. In
the afternoon, she took food and water with her to have a picnic in
the mountains with Bai Chuan.

www.asianovel.com
 208 Report
From the cherry orchard, then turning, there was the lake they
ran past every early morning, then going up, you could see a lush
hillside, where there was a clear stream winding down to the village
under the mountain. Sitting beside the stream, you can have a
panoramic view of the whole mountain village, which is the best
scenic spot in Liangjia Village.

At the location, Mu Xiaoya laid a large picnic cloth under

the tree’s shade, then laid out the food and fruit
that Nuonuo prepared for them.

“Xiao Chuan, do you like it here?” Mu Xiaoya asked Bai Chuan.

“En, it’s quiet.” Then, Bai Chuan looked at the flowing stream
again, “It’s very nice.”

“Then shall we stay here until it’s dark? Nuonuo said there will
be fireflies in the evenings, and we can wait to see them.”
Mu Xiaoya had never seen fireflies, all her knowledge about fireflies
were from pictures and TV.

“En.” Bai Chuan likes it here and naturally had no problem. He

sat under the tree with a book and read it carefully.

Mu Xiaoya also took out her own design draft,

sat near Bai Chuan, and began to design the first pair of shoes
after her rebirth.

If she has any unexpected gains besides Bai Chuan after her
rebirth, it’s probably her knowledge of fashion trends up to four years
in the future. In the past previous four years, Mu Xiaoya had
designed a lot of shoes, most of which are women’s high-heeled
shoes, but the women’s high-heeled shoes she designed before have
very high requirements for leather and workmanship. That wasn’t
suitable for the small studio she and Fang Hui just set up. So,
Mu Xiaoya plans to design several cheap and easy to sell shoes.

www.asianovel.com
 209 Report
Sneakers are one of the most commonly worn footwear, and
they are suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter, so
regardless of the season, there is a market whenever they are made.
As Mu Xiaoya pondered, the brushes on her hands kept on drawing
the outline of the sneakers. Soon, she drew the frame. Subsequently,
Mu Xiaoya paused, pondered for a while, then the brush moved
again, and lightly outlined a few lines on the blank shoe, making the
pure white shoes more fashionable, but not cumbersome.

Then Mu Xiaoya drew several side views of this pair of

shoes respectively at the bottom of the design drawing and marked
various measurements and required materials for the shoes in
detail, in order to prevent the shoe from being distorted during the
production process.

After drawing, Mu Xiaoya turned a page and plans to draw a

new design draft. She intends to change the design of some parts of
the original draft so the shoes would reflect different feelings. Just as
she was about to draw, she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t
noticed Bai Chuan for a long time, so she turned back to see
Bai Chuan.

She saw Bai Chuan was still leaning under the tree reading a
book. She didn’t know when a leaf fell on his head, but he didn’t
notice it.

“Xiao Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya called suddenly.

Bai Chuan’s body seemed to be equipped with a special switch

that sensed Mu Xiaoya. Mu Xiaoya just made a sound
and he immediately looked up.

“Nothing.” Mu Xiaoya actually just wanted to call out

to Bai Chuan, and after that, she had nothing to say, so she smiled
and turned her head to continue drawing her own design draft.

Bai Chuan froze for two seconds, seeing Mu Xiaoya ignore him.

www.asianovel.com
 210 Report
He wasn’t angry and continued to look down to read his book. A tacit
understanding permeated between the two, and the two were as
quiet as a picture. There was no other sound in the whole picture
except for the stream and the birds.

Mu Xiaoya skillfully drew the second design drawing, and just

finished the body frame. Suddenly it was dark in front of her eyes,
she subconsciously looked up at the sky and immediately frowned.

I don’t know when that big black cloud floated over my head.
The sky in this mountain really changes ah.

“Xiao Chuan, it’s going to rain. Let’s go back quickly.”

Mu Xiaoya closed the design draft and stood up and ran
towards Bai Chuan. But she underestimated the speed of the
thunderstorm. Mu Xiaoya had just pulled Bai Chuan from the tree,
and the rain fell.

The two were instantly drenched.

Mu Xiaoya didn’t care so much. She stuffed the design draft

and Bai Chuan’s book into a backpack, then squatted down to collect
the picnic cloth and food.

Bai Chuan stood blankly in the rain, and for a while he was
unable to respond and didn’t know what to do. He wanted to help
Mu Xiaoya, but he was very uncomfortable because of his sticky
body. He managed to ignore his discomfort and took two steps in
Mu Xiaoya’s direction. Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky,
a loud bang.

Bai Chuan’s entire body froze, and his brain began to fall
into chaos.

Mu Xiaoya wrapped the picnic cloth from the ground into a

ball, picked it up casually, turned to Bai Chuan who was standing on
the side and said, “Xiao Chuan, let’s go to the foot of the mountain to

www.asianovel.com
 211 Report
avoid the rain.”

Then, Mu Xiaoya took the lead to run down the mountain road,
but after running for a while, she suddenly found that
Bai Chuan didn’t move and turned around strangely.

“Xiao Chuan?”

This time, Bai Chuan’s extremely sensitive switch to

Mu Xiaoya seemed to be malfunctioning. He stood in the rain like
a piece of wood, motionless, letting more and more rain drench
his body.

“Xiao Chuan.” Shouting, Mu Xiaoya ran back to Bai Chuan. Only

when she came to Bai Chuan, there was another thunderclap in the
sky, it was louder than the previous one and scared Mu Xiaoya.

“Ah, ahh~~~”

Bai Chuan’s chaotic brain seemed to be split by this thunder. He

screamed quickly, like a frightened beast, he turned around in terror
and stumbled to the bottom of the big tree.

“Xiao Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya was anxious, but she couldn’t be

afraid. She rushed forward and grabbed Bai Chuan’s arm to prevent
him from hiding under the tree.

Bai Chuan had lost his mind at this time. He was struggling in a
panic, trying to get rid of Mu Xiaoya’s grip and ran to the direction of
the big tree with all his might.

“Boom!”

There was another thunder, and Bai Chuan’s whole body

shuddered, squatting directly on the ground in shock. He held his
head and shivered.

“Xiao Chuan get up. Let’s leave.” The thunder was getting

www.asianovel.com
 212 Report
louder, and the rain was getting heavier. Mu Xiaoya was terrified.
This is the mountain. Not only are there no lightning rods, but it is full
of trees. It is too dangerous when there is lightning. She has to take
Bai Chuan down the mountain.

“Ahh, ahh, ah…” Bai Chuan crouched on the ground, his eyes
closed tightly, and a short shriek left his mouth. No matter how
Mu Xiaoya called out to him, he didn’t give a response. He looked
terrified, like a helpless and vulnerable child.

“Xiao Chuan get up. The mountain is too dangerous, we have to

go down.” Mu Xiaoya pulled hard, but she was too weak to
pull Bai Chuan at all. She even slipped and fell to the ground several
times because of excessive force.

“Xiao Chuan, you get up ah. Let’s go down the mountain.”

Mu Xiaoya wanted to cry, but Bai Chuan couldn’t see her tears at this
time. She was frustrated like never before. She overestimated
herself. The psychological preparations she had made and the
measures to deal with Bai Chuan’s state were all powerlessness at
this moment. A deep sense of weakness, along with rain, permeated
her body and mind.

What to do? What to do?

“Boom! Boom!”

There was another thunder, and Bai Chuan’s body vibrated with
each thunder.

Mu Xiaoya gritted her teeth and suddenly shook the cloth at her
feet, covering their heads from the rain. She knelt down and sat
beside Bai Chuan, covering his ears with both hands, holding
Bai Chuan’s head tightly in her arms.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

“Don’t be afraid, nothing will happen, don’t be afraid!”

Mu Xiaoya was talking to Bai Chuan, and to herself.

The thunderstorm continued, sweeping the ground

indiscriminately, the creeks in the mountain became more and
more turbulent and the trees were overturned. But the place covered
with the picnic cloth seems to be its own world, standing still in the
wind and rain.

The thunderstorm in the mountains violently rained down, but it

finally started to cease after half an hour of downpour.

Mu Xiaoya felt the rain outside becoming lighter. She looked down
at Bai Chuan who was huddling in her arms, his eyes were still tightly
closed, his face the colour of white, he’s obviously frightened. The
two were poured by the rain for almost half an hour, although the
picnic blanket had some degree of waterproof function, it can’t be
helped that their clothes were still wet. Mu Xiaoya shivered, feeling
the chill seeping inside her body, her lips faintly appeared purple.

“Xiao Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya whispered Bai Chuan’s name, her voice

trembled because of the cold.

Bai Chuan’s eyelashes moved, but he still didn’t open his eyes.
However, Mu Xiaoya felt relieved inside because he reacted to her
voice, it indicated that Bai Chuan has eased from the state of
extreme fear just now.

“Xiao Chuan, the rain has stopped, there’s no more thunder, let’s
go back.” Mu Xiaoya tried to release her hands from Bai Chuan’s
ears.

“Mmmm~~” When Mu Xiaoya’s hands just moved, Bai Chuan

shook subconsciously, feeling that rumbling thunder still sounded
loudly beside his ears, he instinctively drilled himself back to Mu
Xiaoya’s arms, afraid that he would make crying sounds.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here, I’m here with you.” Mu Xiaoya soothed
him patiently, she had no idea of what to do for a while.

In fact, a normal person will also be scared by such a dense

www.asianovel.com
 215 Report
thunder, let alone an autistic person like Bai Chuan. However, an
ordinary person can quickly adjust their emotions after being scared,
and when they realized that there’s no actual danger, they can
quickly get rid of that fear. However, Bai Chuan is unable to do it. The
thunder in the world outside had stopped, but it still continued inside
Bai Chuan’s world.

She had to figure out a way to divert Bai Chuan’s attention, make
him feel that the thunder wasn’t so terrible and scary so that he can
break himself away from fear.

How to do it? Mu Xiaoya calmed herself down an thought carefully.

At this time, Bai Chuan has still not fully awaken, and although Bai
Chuan responded to her voice, but this reaction wasn’t enough to
arouse him up, so what else could she do?

Just now, Bai Chuan leaned close to her despite her trying to wake
him up, so Mu Xiaoya closed his ears again. At this time, Mu Xiaoya
lowered her head and discovered that she was holding Bai Chuan’s
face in her palms. Bai Chuan’s appearance was really exquisite, his
skin was fair without blemish, long and thick eyelashes, tall nose
bridge, thin lips… that looked kissable, as long as she lowered her
head…

This is looking… oddly delicious, what’s going on?

Inside Bai Chuan’s world was terrible, with big and dark clouds
floating around, they covered the once blue sky as rain poured down
heavily, leaving him with nowhere to hide. The warmth in front of him
was the only reliance he can find inside this endless darkness, who is
it? Who brought this familiar warmth? It’s very familiar, surely he can
remember it…

Bai Chuan thought hard, he had an intuition that as long as he

remembered who the warmth belonged to, the thunder would stop
immediately.

www.asianovel.com
 216 Report
All of a sudden, something even more warm and soft entered his
world, a familiar smell brought by this warmth wrapping him inside
and filled his nose. Inside Bai Chuan’s chaotic brain, the dark sky
seemed to be suddenly split open by an axe, revealing the bright and
clear sky behind as he finally recognized something.

This is Xiaoya’s smell.

Bai Chuan opened his eyes abruptly. Inside the dim light, he can
see the silhouette of Mu Xiaoya, very, very close to him. It was even
closer than when Mu Xiaoya was lying in his arms at night, and right
at that moment, he can even counted the number of Mu Xiaoya’s
eyelashes. Two eyes, upper and lower eyelids, a total of 268 lashes.

What is Xiaoya doing? Is she kissing me?

That’s right, Mu Xiaoya was kissing him. She couldn’t hold back,
after all, she was fascinated by the beauty in front of her and
philandered Bai Chuan.

When Mu Xiaoya finally noticed the change in Bai Chuan, she knew
that he was awake. She opened her eyes in surprise and was met
with Bai Chuan’s curious eyes. Bai Chuan didn’t have anything
against the kiss, that’s also what loving should be ah, Mu Xiaoya
thought like this and was seized with the sudden impulse to deepen
their kiss. She stopped for a while, and whispered in a small voice,
“Open your mouth.”

Bai Chuan obediently opened his mouth, and Mu Xiaoya came over
again, invading his territory as if she’s a feudal lord inside her own
land.

Just when the two unskilled tongues about to touch, a burst of

untimely phone ringtone suddenly sounded noisily inside their
cramped space.

Mu Xiaoya abruptly released Bai Chuan, her face was so red that

www.asianovel.com
 217 Report
she looked like a boiled shrimp. It was obvious that she started it
first, but at this time, she seemed like a girl who had been cheated
off her first kiss, she was so shy that she didn’t dare looking up.

“Hello.” Mu Xiaoya picked up her overly high-quality phone, it’s still

not broken even after being soaked in this big rainstorm.

“Mumu, where are you ah? It was raining hard just now, are you
alright?” The caller was Liang Nuonuo.

“I’m alright, we’re going back there now.” Mu Xiaoya gave a

subconscious glance to Bai Chuan. Bai Chuan was completely calm at
this time, his eyes were even brighter than before. He seemed more
energetic, but his face was still pale, “Help us prepare some ginger
soup.”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoya lifted the plaid linen that
was used to cover them. A sudden bright light dazzled the two of
them as they narrowed their eyes unconsciously.

“See, the rain stopped.” Trying her best to ignore the

embarrassment just now, Mu Xiaoya smiled at Bai Chuan.

Not embarrassing, not embarrassing, we’re husband and wife after

all, a kiss is nothing ah. Besides, Bai Chuan might not understand
what it means.

“En.” Bai Chuan responded with a hum. The rain stopped, he knew
about it from the moment Mu Xiaoya brought him out of the
darkness.

“Then, let’s go back.” Mu Xiaoya stood up and pulled Bai Chuan.

Being poured by such rain for so long, the two people can be said as
drenched as a rat. They were soaked from head to toe, outside to
inside, furthermore, their clothes were thin summer clothes, at this
moment, they were tightly glued to their bodies, making them
uncomfortable.

www.asianovel.com
 218 Report
Mu Xiaoya’s black underwear was even more obvious with her
white shirt.

Bai Chuan couldn’t help but stare at her straight.

“What are you looking at?” Mu Xiaoya covered her chest

subconsciously.

Bai Chuan blinked, he didn’t understand why Mu Xiaoya wanted to

hide, he just subconsciously felt that the black colour underneath her
white clothes was so garish.

“Black.” But since Xiaoya asked him what he was looking at, he
still had to answer.

“…” Mu Xiaoya suddenly felt panicked. This straight answer really

can render someone speechless ah.

Black, is it the black underwear, or is it just purely looking at the

black colour? Mu Xiaoya’s reason was telling her that Bai Chuan’s
‘black’ must be that he was looking at something black, but her brain
still can’t help but imagine something that’s not suitable for children.

The most unreasonable thing was, she obviously was just helping
her own husband, but she’s still imagining that he’s taking advantage
of her, enough!

“Xiao Chuan.” Taking a deep breath, Mu Xiaoya tried to calm

herself down, “If a girl’s clothes are wet, it would be rude of you to
stare at her like this, okay?”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded his head, telling her that he understood.

Mu Xiaoya was relieved, then heard Bai Chuan asked again, “Can’t
I look at you?” He likes looking at Mu Xiaoya, because he feels
inexplicably at ease whenever he looks at her.

If your husband ask you if he can look when your clothes are wet,

www.asianovel.com
 219 Report
how do you even answer that?

“…” Oh my god, Mu Xiaoya mourned in shame. If she didn’t know

that Bai Chuan was so innocent, she really will think that Bai Chuan
was teasing her.

“I can’t?” Bai Chuan felt a little at a lost, but he still turned around
and stopped looking at Mu Xiaoya.

“Can.” Mu Xiaoya gritted her teeth, “Only when we’re alone.”

Forget it, the marriage certificate had been issued, lips had
touched, let him look if he wants to look, I still won’t lose any meat
anyway.

Bai Chuan immediately beamed with joy.

“Hurry up, help me collect the things on the ground and go back.”
The rush of rain just now had scattered all of the things they brought,
Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan also picked up the trash so as not to
pollute the environment.

When they returned to the cherry garden, Liang Nuonuo was

shocked to see the couple in such a miserable shape. She quickly let
the two to take a bath and change their clothes, and then prepared
some ginger soups and cold medicines, but Mu Xiaoya still caught a
cold the next day.

The cold bore down menacingly that Mu Xiaoya couldn’t even get
up from the bed.

“You ah, why don’t you just drag Bai Chuan and run home? It’s the
same rain, but Bai Chuan is fine while you became like a bear.” Liang
Nuonuo gave Mu Xiaoya a cold medicine while scolding her, “I think
you should exercise yourself more in the future.”

“I’m already like this but you’re still ridiculing me.” Mu Xiaoya sat
up from the bed with Bai Chuan’s support and gulped down the cold

www.asianovel.com
 220 Report
medicine with the warm water that Liang Nuonuo gave her.

“Try and see if you have a fever.” Liang Nuonuo passed her a
thermometer.

“No need ah.”

“There’s no doctor in the village, if you have a severe fever, I have

to drive you to the county in advance. Hurry up and measure it, I’ll
take you to the hospital if your temperature is high.”

Mu Xiaoya felt that her own temperature wasn’t high, but when
she wanted to decline once more, Bai Chuan suddenly reached out to
take Liang Nuonuo’s thermometer and stared at Mu Xiaoya in
silence. In fact, Bai Chuan also didn’t like hospitals, but he knew that
hospitals were the place to treat illnesses. He didn’t want Xiaoya to
go to the hospital, but he wanted her to be healthy.

“I’ll measure myself.” Facing against Bai Chuan’s stare, Mu Xiaoya

can’t keep on persisting and accepted her fate to measure her
temperature, putting it under her armpit, and reclined back on the
bed.

“I’ll come back in ten minutes.” Liang Nuonuo got up and went out
to do her own business.

Mu Xiaoya felt uncomfortable and worried about Bai Chuan. She

glanced at him and said, “You should also take a cold medicine, just
for prevention.”

“I don’t have a cold.” Bai Chuan didn’t like taking medicine. Since
he was still a child, his grandma had given him a lot of medicines,
especially when he was sick, he head to take dozens of different
medicines in a day. After eating them, he will feel uncomfortable in
his stomach and his head will be dizzy.

“But I have a cold ah, you’re with me every time, you can be
infected too.”

www.asianovel.com
 221 Report
“It’s okay.”

“…” Mu Xiaoya found that Bai Chuan can be quite stubborn, “Then,
you’re not allowed to stay with me unless you take the medicine.”

Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya silently, then obediently picked up

the medicine to prevent the cold from the box. He casually took the
water that Mu Xiaoya had not finished and drank the medicine with
it.

Mu Xiaoya was immediately satisfied. Although he can be quite

stubborn sometimes, but he’s still obedient ah. However, the biggest
surprise in this event wasn’t that she fell ill, but that Bai Chuan
recovered very well after his condition was triggered. There were
hardly any negative emotion left and he didn’t apologize to her from
self-blame. Does this mean that Bai Chuan has improved again?

Ten minutes later, Liang Nuonuo returned and took a look at the
thermometer. Mu Xiaoya had a low fever and didn’t need to go to the
hospital. Although she didn’t need to go to the hospital, but her
recovery was quite bad, she was dizzy for a full two days and
coughed for three days before her spirit came back to her.

Today, the recovering Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan walked out for a
round, and when they came back for lunch, they saw Liang Nuonuo
with a dark face while talking on the phone with someone.

“Nuonuo, what happened?” Waiting until the phone was ended, Mu

Xiaoya asked with concern.

“My nephew, that little ancestor doesn’t want to eat, really making
me mad to death.” Liang Nuonuo looked helpless.

The nephew from Liang Nuonuo’s mouth was her sister’s child.
Liang Nuonuo’s sister married early, so now the child was almost ten
years old and in third grade. Because she was ill these days, Liang
Nuonuo’s parents returned from the eldest daughter’s house and

www.asianovel.com
 222 Report
brought their grandson conveniently. However, when the old couple
returned, they threw the child directly in the cherry garden and let
Liang Nuonuo took care of him. Liang Nuonuo had complained to her
about this once before.

“Is it because the weather is hot these days? Why don’t you take
some watermelons for him?” When the weather is hot, people can
easily lose their appetite.

“What’s with the hot weather? He just doesn’t want to eat, only
knows how to solve questions.”

“Solve questions?”

“That’s right ah.” Liang Nuonuo said helplessly, “My nephew is a

nerd. When other children love playing outside, he only loves
studying inside. Don’t care if it’s winter or summer, weekend or
holiday, if it’s not reading books, he would be solving questions. His
grades are good, but my sister is afraid that he would become a nerd
so she forced him to come here, wanting him to spend a good
summer vacation in the countryside. In the end, he just brought over
some math books and solved math questions everyday.”

“There’s still such a child who loves studying like this?” Mu Xiaoya
was stunned.

“You also think that it’s strange ah.” Liang Nuonuo smiled bitterly,
“I went to ask him to eat just now but he had to say that I disturbed
his thinking process and that he had to solve the math problem in
the book before he can eat. He also said that if I want him to eat, I
have to help him solve it.”

“Can’t you solve it?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“You haven’t seen it! That’s not elementary school level math! I
can’t understand any subject written there.” Not only did she not
understand it, she was also deeply despised by her nephew, saying

www.asianovel.com
 223 Report
that this auntie that graduated from college but she still can’t do
elementary school’s math. Liang Nuonuo felt a slap on her face, but
she still can’t refute it.

“I just called my sister and she said that she also can’t move him
when he’s solving his questions, so she only leave me to do
whatever.” Liang Nuonuo said fiercely, “I’ll immediately grab him
here.”

If words failed, Liang Nuonuo intended to use force.

Mu Xiaoya raised her eyebrows and watched Liang Nuonuo going

in. After a while, she pulled out a little fat boy with glasses.

“Eat first!”

“No! I haven’t solved the question yet!”

“Eat first then you can continue!”

“Don’t want! My thoughts will be interrupted by then!”

“If it’s interrupted then you can think again later, just eat first!”

“How about you lend me a computer? I’ll ask my classmate

online.”

“Don’t worry, your mother already said to let you play all summer
holiday, you don’t need to do anything else.”

Mu Xiaoya saw that the two became more and more noisy and the
meal will soon be cold. Although it’s summer, but a cold food will still
affect the taste ah.

“Okay, okay, isn’t it just about solving some math problems?

C’mon, I’ll help you.”

The two people that were pulling at each other stopped and said in

Mu Xiaoya took the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)

problems and the scratch paper from the chubby Liu Qu and handed
it over to Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan gave one look and immediately reported the answer,
“128.”

“Write the process ah.” Mu Xiaoya was helpless.

“Oh.” Bai Chuan then picked up the pen and wrote on the scrap
paper, not even a minute has passed, but he had done writing down
the process.

Seeing the shocked eyes of Liang Nuonuo and little fatty, Mu

Xiaoya felt a little proud but pretended to be casual and passed them
the paper, “Now we can eat.”

Liu Qu was too impatient to take back the scratch paper and
looked over the simple and clear-cut answer process on it, he
immediately looked at Bai Chuan with a face full of worship.

“How did you think of this?” The little fatty’s eyes were full of stars
shining adoringly.

The chubby boy asked with a loud voice, a pity that Bai Chuan just
ignored him. Seeing that the stars inside the little kid’s eyes about to
go out, Mu Xiaoya looked at him with pity. She poked Bai Chuan with
her finger and Bai Chuan finally raised his head.

“He asked you how you figured it out.” Mu Xiaoya recounted the
little boy’s question.

 226 Report
“I knew at a glance ah.”

“…” A mortal’s IQ can’t be compared with a genius.

A scholar lord always likes to play with another scholar lord, the
chubby boy Liu Qu immediately regarded Bai Chuan as his idol and
ran around him all the time, big brother this, big brother that,
shouting and insisting to ‘play’ with him, making Bai Chuan frowned
in annoyance.

This rare scene made Mu Xiaoya thoroughly abandoned the

thoughts to send the child away, not interfering with the little fatty
pestering Bai Chuan anymore.

However, after Liu Qu annoyed Bai Chuan for the whole afternoon,
he finally got Bai Chuan’s response.

“Big brother Bai Chuan, how do I learn, and what knowledge should
I learn so I can become as smart as you?”

“You can’t do it.”

“I will work very hard.”

“You still can’t do it even if you work hard for a lifetime.”

“…waaa~!” The little boy who got attacked, wept and didn’t pester
Bai Chuan anymore.

Bai Chuan relaxed his eyebrows, feeling that the entire world
finally became peaceful and quiet again.

“Xiao Chuan, what are you doing, attacking him like that?” Mu
Xiaoya felt like she didn’t know if she should laugh or cry.

“I didn’t.” Bai Chuan’s face was innocent and pure, “I was born like
this, he can’t do it.”

“…” Alright, it seems quiet reasonable.

“Bai Chuan, you did it beautifully!” Although Liu Qu was crying
sadly, but Liang Nuonuo was so happy instead. She took out her
nephew’s IMO exercise booklet and handed it to Bai Chuan, “Solve all
the questions here ah, don’t leave him any to do, I’ll see if he can still
hide himself depressingly inside if there’s no problems he can solve
then.”

“…” This kind of auntie who cheat her own nephew, there’s no one
else except for Liang Nuonuo.

Primary school student’s IMO exercise book only has a few topics
and Liu Qu had done almost half of it, so it only took Bai Chuan half
an hour to finish the rest of the problems together. After he finished
solving those problems, Mu Xiaoya took Bai Chuan out to watch
fireflies.

Last time they went to the riverbank to watch fireflies, a thunder

shower disrupted their plans, and it even made Mu Xiaoya sick in bed
for a few days. Now that she’s better, Mu Xiaoya remembered it
again. The two sprayed some mosquito repellent and held hands
while walking towards the previous hillside.

At this time, there’s still a little dim light in the sky, so they had to
wait until the sky turned completely dark and the fireflies should
come out then.

The two sat by the stream and waited patiently. Mu Xiaoya turned
her head and looked at Bai Chuan fiddling with the headphone in his
hands. She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What are you doing?”

“Recording.” Bai Chuan replied.

“The headphones can record?” Mu Xiaoya was surprised.

“Yes.” Xiaoya forgot again, the saleswoman clearly explained this

when we bought this.

“Then, what are you recording?”

www.asianovel.com
 228 Report
“Record the sounds here, I like hearing them.”

“What sounds?”

Bai Chuan didn’t speak. He turned on the recording mode, and

then raised the headphones to the stream in front of him. Mu Xiaoya
blanked for a moment, and soon came to understand that the sounds
here referred to the sounds of nature.

The sound of the flowing stream, of the wind blowing occasionally,

of the birds singing from far away, of the bugs on the grass, and of
the rustling leaves around them…

All these things mixed together, they didn’t lose to any grand
symphony in this world. It seemed that Bai Chuan really liked it here
and wanted to record them down.

Mu Xiaoya didn’t bother him and sat quietly aside, waiting as quiet
as when Bai Chuan waited for her, she just looked at him recording
the sounds of nature, waiting for the fireflies to appear.

Suddenly, a little faint light rose from the stream, followed by the
second dot and the third dot, more and more light rose up from the
wet grass, brightening up Mu Xiaoya’s eyes. She wanted to call Bai
Chuan but found that Bai Chuan was also looking at this side while
holding his headphones.

Soon, the fireflies flew out, and the small hillsides were instantly
illuminated with their flickering warm lights. The two sat still, feeling
like they’re in the middle of the glimmering Milky Way.

“This is my first time looking at fireflies.” Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help

but sigh in awe.

“It’s not.”

“What?”

www.asianovel.com
 229 Report
“You’ve seen it before.” Mu Xiaoya’s memory has always been
bad, but Bai Chuan remembers all of it, “You’ve seen it when you’re
six.”

“When I was six?” Mu Xiaoya frowned, trying to remember whether

she had seen fireflies when she was a child in vain.

“In grandma’s yard, two fireflies suddenly appeared. You were very
happy and sang then.” Bai Chuan remembered, that day was the
128th day he knew Mu Xiaoya. She was wearing a flower skirt and a
pair of pink sandals when she came to grandma’s house to eat
watermelon.

“I also sang?” Mu Xiaoya’s eyebrows jumped in surprise. However,

when she was six, she was still in kindergarten at that time, she
seemed to like singing when she was a kid.

“En, you didn’t sing again after that.” Bai Chuan’s voice seemed to
be filled with a bit of regret.

Mu Xiaoya turned her head and looked at Bai Chuan and felt that
she had turned back to her childhood, “Want to hear me sing?”

“Want.” Bai Chuan’s voice unconsciously became a little louder in

anticipation.

“Wait a bit ah, I’ll find a music accompaniment.” Mu Xiaoya

laughed and took out her phone, opened the national K song app,
and found the not so easy Ordinary Day, “I think this song is
especially suitable ah.”

It’s not that Mu Xiaoya was narcissistic, she actually sang pretty
well, she also won the campus’ top ten singer awards. However, she
went to study abroad, her study and work schedule were too tight,
which made her gradually forgot that she actually like singing.

The music started, Mu Xiaoya followed the beat and naturally and
accurately entered the music.

“I wake up naturally at 7.30 every morning

The wind chime rings and it’s a day with light clouds

The smell of sun basked clothes are very comforting

All is soft and tranquil

At every intersection, flowers bloom in the sun

From the front of the tiny store comes the sound of a lovely love
song

It doesn’t take long to arrive at (my) destination

People passing by are full of goodwill

This is the most ordinary day

Do you miss it too?”

Bai Chuan listened with a blank expression, there seemed to be

something twinkling inside his eyes, he tightly held the earphones
inside his embrace, didn’t dare to move a muscle, afraid that even a
little wind would disrupt this song.

There actually weren’t many things to do in a cherry garden, you

can experience all the daily life in just one day, but the couple didn’t
feel that it was boring. On the contrary, they had a leisurely life. Bai
Chuan likes the peace and tranquility in the cherry garden, while Mu
Xiaoya felt alive, every day was full of meaning.

Because the two people were in a good mood, they took the basket
and helped Liang Nuonuo picked the cherry tree. They picked the
ones that looked especially delicious, and Bai Chuan would diligently
delivered it to Mu Xiaoya. After Mu Xiaoya ate it, Bai Chuan would
smile until his eyes squinted in happiness. Sometimes, when they

www.asianovel.com
 231 Report
wanted to go out for a walk, they would go to the field in the
mountain and picked some watermelons to eat. Knocking on the
watermelons was also a study on its own, even though Mu Xiaoya
tried to learn it for half a day, she still can’t tell which watermelon
was ripe and which wasn’t ripe. It was at this time that Bai Chuan
revealed his impressive skill as he seemed to be able to distinguish
the sounds of each watermelon by nature and easily picked out the
sweetest one.

“I’ll leave buying fruits to you later ah.”

“En.”

After picking the watermelon and bringing it back to the cherry

garden, they put it in the well to cool it down for one night and the
next day’s lunch can be considered to be done.

When Liang Nuonuo had some spare time, she had the two of them
do some product development, such as cherry wine and cherry jam.
It takes time to ferment wine, so the two learned to make jam in the
mean time. However, Bai Chuan who has always been smart, seemed
to be lacking in this area as he can’t learn anything no matter how. In
the end, he only helped picking cherries and passed them to Mu
Xiaoya who will then process them into jams.

The two stayed in the cherry garden for a few more days before Mu
Xiaoya finally decided to leave. In fact, they already stayed for
almost half a month, although they weren’t willing to leave, but they
had to in the end.

Before leaving, Liang Nuonuo loaded Mu Xiaoya with many

souvenirs, as well as the cherry jams and wines they produced in the
cherry garden.

“Why not stay a few more days and leave? Taobao business is so
busy during this time and I can’t entertain you much.” Liang Nuonuo
said with some guilt.

“I can’t stay anymore, Fang Hui had renovated the studio. I’m here
for half a month, and became like a hands-off shopkeeper for half a
month (one who asks others to work but does nothing herself). If I
don’t go back, she probably would want to cut off relationship with
me.” Yesterday, Fang Hui sent a message to tell her that the studio
was renovated, but she was reluctant to send her a photo, so she had
to go back and see it for herself. To say it was a surprise was actually
urging her to go back ah.

“Then, okay, come back to play next summer.”

“Okay, but you’re not allowed to pick us up by truck and tractor.”

Mu Xiaoya demanded. Bai Chuan liked it here, and if he’s willing to
come again next year, Mu Xiaoya won’t mind coming for a trip.

Liang Nuonuo thought about the situation when the two came and
immediately laughed, she then drove her dad’s van personally to
send them straight to the train station.

Two hours on the green train, one hour of airport taxi, the two
finally boarded the plane back to Yun City. When she told the family
that they were coming back, Li Rong asked Uncle Li to book the
tickets which was still the first class for a three hours flight.

Bai Chuan wasn’t used to transportation and basically slept on the

train and plane. Mu Xiaoya asked the stewardess for two blankets
and gave one to Bai Chuan before putting up the headphones and
rest herself. Of course, the one Mu Xiaoya used was the headset that
came with the plane, while Bai Chuan brought the headset that Mu
Xiaoya gave her.

Mu Xiaoya slept in a daze before a sharp cry pierced through her

earphones straight to her eardrum suddenly. Mu Xiaoya opened her
eyes abruptly as many people in the first class woke up in unison. A
stewardess hurriedly ran from the back position to the seat on her
front left.

“Madam, please keep quiet.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’ll calm him down now.” A somewhat tired
female voice spoke to the stewardess while apologizing to the few
guests around.

“Little friend, don’t cry, sister will give you some candies.” The
stewardess wanted to help coax the child together, but who knew
that the child shouted even louder, the sound was so sharp as if it
could stab straight into human’s brain.

“Don’t touch him, he’s afraid to be touched by other people.” After

the woman said this, she turned her head to coax her child again,
“Be good, Xiao Mang, be good, take a deep breath, don’t be noisy,
alright?”

“A, A, AA!!” The child seemed to be even more irritable and his
yelling became more and more rapid, until finally the other
passengers could not bear it anymore.

“What are you doing as a mother? You can’t even coax your own
child.”

“This kid doesn’t look that young anymore, why can’t he be

sensible?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my child has autism, he… he didn’t mean it,
I’m sorry…” The woman stood up and bowed around, sincerely
apologizing.

So it’s autism ah, no wonder it’s hard to coax him.

As soon as everyone heard it, their faces showed a touch of

sympathy and they no longer accused the child of being insensible.
They just wore their headphones, turned the sound up and stopped
looking at their side.

Although everyone said nothing, but the woman was so ashamed.

She looked at her son who can’t calm down completely, gritted her
teeth and helplessly looked to the stewardess aside, “Can you pour
me a glass of water? I’ll give him some medicine.”

Other than this, she didn’t know how to comfort her child from his
sudden bout of episode, she couldn’t just let him shout and cry and
annoy other passengers.

“Yes.” The stewardess turned to pour some water immediately.

Mu Xiaoya looked at the woman’s pale and desperate face. She

suddenly turned her head and took off the headphones on Bai
Chuan’s head.

“Lend it to me for a bit.” After Mu Xiaoya said this, she stood up

and walked to the front row.

The woman saw Mu Xiaoya coming over and thought that she was
another passenger who got annoyed by her son as she immediately
apologized. Mu Xiaoya waved her hand, then held the headphones in
her hand. In front of the woman’s surprised eyes, she directly
covered the screaming child’s head.

The child’s cry gradually eased, and after a while, the child finally
calmed down and sat back in the chair obediently.

“This is…” The woman looked at Mu Xiaoya in surprise.

“My headphones are soundproof, and there’s soothing music

inside, I thought it might be useful to your child so I tried it. I didn’t
expect that it would be useful.”

“Thank you so much.” The woman’s hand holding the pillbox

tightened. Her child was quiet, so she didn’t need to give him
medicine.

“You’re welcome, please take a good rest.” Mu Xiaoya smiled and

turned back to her own seat. When she sat down, she found that Bai

Chuan was looking at her with complaint, his expression was one that
Mu Xiaoya had never seen before.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“Headphones, mine.” Bai Chuan felt very depressed. Why did

Xiaoya give his headphones to others? There’s still the sound that he
recorded inside.

“I know ah, but we lend them first for a good use, they will give it
back to us when the plane landed.” Mu Xiaoya coaxed him.

Bai Chuan frowned, still unhappy, “Mine.”

Why can’t he be coaxed this time?

Mu Xiaoya stared at the rarely serious Bai Chuan. All of a sudden,

she took the chance and puckered her lips, immediately giving the
ignorant Bai Chuan a kiss.

“Just lend them for an hour, alright?” Mu Xiaoya acted coquettishly.

Bai Chuan blinked and blinked, then sat upright and stopped
talking.

Does he… agree?

It turned out that acting coquettish was also useful for someone
with autism ah.

TL NOTE:

Without his headphones, Bai Chuan’s eyebrows creased all the way
through the rest of one hour flight, although Bai Chuan didn’t say
anything, but Mu Xiaoya can see clearly that he’s not comfortable,
thus making her felt a bit of regret for lending his headphones to that
kid just now.

When the plane finally landed, Bai Chuan didn’t stand up but sat
still in his seat, looking at the front seat with his keen eyes. Mu
Xiaoya knew, Bai Chuan must have waited for the other to return his
headphones back.

Luckily, that mother didn’t made the two people wait for long as
she returned the headphones just after the plane safely landed.

“Thank you for your headphones.” The woman said her gratitude,
her hands still holding on to the 7-8 years old child. The little boy was
wearing a western style clothes with short pants, with a school bag
on his back, his small fair face was pouting cutely, this appearance of
his looked nothing like the once screaming child before.

“You’re welcome, later you should also buy something like this, it’s
useful in critical times.” Mu Xiaoya suggested.

“En.” The woman thanked her again before turning around, leaving
along with her child.

When they’re gone, Mu Xiaoya returned the headphones to Bai

Chuan. Once Bai Chuan received it, he firmly hung it on his neck, for
fear that it’d get taken away by someone else.

When Mu Xiaoya looked at him acting like this, she found it funny
and somewhat felt sorry, “Later, I won’t lend your headphones to

www.asianovel.com

other people again.”

“En.” Bai Chuan smiled happily.

They got off the plane, took their luggage and trying to go to the
parking area. The Bai family’s car had already been waiting for them
ten minutes before the plane’s arrival, but Yun city’s airport was
really too big, Mu Xiaoya wasn’t familiar with the airport,
furthermore, her sense of direction wasn’t good, so they can’t find
the parking lot that was told by the Bai family’s chauffeur for quite
some time.

“Parking lot P2, so is this the way to P2 or is it that way?” Mu

Xiaoya already stood in front of the airport map for 5 minutes. This
vicinity only had this one map, and it didn’t have a clear direction
symbol, thus she felt uncertain of which way she should go to. She
recalled she once went to P1 when she returned to her country in her
past life because of carelessness, circling one full round, she wasted
a whole half hour.

“This way.” Bai Chuan waited five minutes for Mu Xiaoya and
determined that she wasn’t resting but that she can’t find the right
way, so he decided to speak.

“You know the way?” Mu Xiaoya lifted her head in surprise.

“It’s drawn on the map.” Bai Chuan pointed to the P2 direction on

the airport map with a flat face. It’s clearly drawn here, why should
one know the way?

Mu Xiaoya’s eyes immediately brightened, that’s right ah, Bai

Chuan has scholar syndrome, perhaps beside his mathematics skill,
his sense of direction is also strong ah.

“Then you lead the way.” Mu Xiaoya said with a smile.

“En.” Pulling his luggage, Bai Chuan lead the way in front. He
didn’t look at whatever symbols along the way, as if he’s already

familiar with the airport’s layout, left turn, descend the stairs, right
turn, walk straight, then they finally found the Bai family’s car.

The Bai family’s driver had seen the two from afar and came out,
eagerly helping the two people to move their luggage.

“I didn’t know you’re really great at looking at maps ah.” Mu

Xiaoya couldn’t help but praised him.

However, Bai Chuan didn’t feel that he’s great at looking at maps,
it’s just Mu Xiaoya that has always been like this, making a fuss over
trivial things. In the past, every time he helped Mu Xiaoya solved
some math questions, she would act like this, he’s rather
accustomed to it.

After they got on the car, Mu Xiaoya started discussing with Bai
Chuan how to divide the gifts, naturally, it was just Mu Xiaoya that
talked the whole journey while Bai Chuan silently listened to her on
the side.

“We went to the countryside this time, so there’s nothing that we

can buy, aside from those local specialties, there’s only Liang
Nuonuo’s cherry wine and cherry jam.” Mu Xiaoya asked Bai Chuan,
“Luckily, we also helped when Nuonuo made the wine and jam,
right?”

“En, cherry, I plucked them.” Although Bai Chuan didn’t like

talking, but when Mu Xiaoya asked him, he absolutely have to
answer.

“Then, let’s give the jams. When we get back, you can say to mom
and dad that you personally picked the cherries. Like this, surely
mom and dad won’t feel that our gifts are too light.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“Okay.”

Seeing that her goal has been achieved, Mu Xiaoya showed a

devilish scheming smile.

The driver in the front row listened to them chatted on the whole
journey and can’t help but felt happy. He had been the Bai family’s
driver for more than ten years, but this was the first time that he
heard second young master talked this much inside the car. And
also, how can the master and madam regard their cherry jam as a
light gift? Whatever the second young master give them, even if it’s
only a feather, they would regard it as a treasure. This second young
mistress, she’s clearly enticing and coaxing the second young master
to interact more with his family.

The time of the two people’s arrival just happened to be in the

middle of afternoon, it’s perfect to avoid the traffic jam at night, so
the car drove unimpeded, straight to the Bai family’s mansion. Once
they were home, Uncle Li immediately welcomed them, ordered
some servants to take the luggage and prepared something to eat,
afraid that the two would be tired after a long journey.

“Uncle Li, there’s no need to prepare food, it will be time for dinner
in a while.” Mu Xiaoya said as her finger pointed to the big bag of
local specialties in the back trunk, “Take them to the kitchen, Xiao
Chuan likes the cured meat, you should choose some to make
dinner.”

“Yes. Quick, send it to the kitchen and prepare it for dinner.” Uncle
Li immediately issued the order.

“Where is father and mother?” After the two returned, there’s only
Uncle Li that welcomed them, Mu Xiaoya guessed that there’s no one
in the house right now.

“Master and Eldest young master are at work, they haven’t

returned home yet. Madam went to attend a charitable foundation
activity, however, they all would surely come for dinner.” Uncle Li
answered.

Mu Xiaoya nodded and didn’t ask anymore. She and Bai Chuan
went back to their room to wash up.

After seeing Mu Xiaoya walked away, Uncle Li took out his phone
and started sending out multiple messages.

‘Master, Madam, Eldest young master, Second young master and

Second mistress had safely returned home. Furthermore, they
brought back a lot of delicacies and local specialties, they will share
them with you at night.’

After sending out the reports, not waiting for their reply, Uncle Li
beamed with smile while fixing his glasses. He instructed the kitchen
to prepare the food for 5 people.

The message was circulated quickly within the Bai family’s circle.

Once Bai Guoyu looked at his phone, he turned his head and asked
his assistant, “When can I get off work?”

“Chairman, your last meeting will end at around 6 o’clock, but you
have a dinner appointment with the chairman from Tai Heng.” The
assistant reminded him.

“Cancel the appointment and moved the meeting half an hour

earlier.”

“Eh, yes.” The assistant blanked for a while. Although it’s quite
odd, but he still had to comply. Afterwards, he immediately made
frenzied phone calls and told the participating personnel to move up
the meeting time.

In the same multi-storied building, inside a different floor’s meeting

room, Bai Zheng was swearing at people with a black face.

“Look at the report of the previous quarter and see the results you
made. If it’s still like this in the next quarter, you all can scram from
here.”

After scolding the sales department, Bai Zheng continued to scold

the advertising department.

“Look at your advertising plan, what kind of bullshits are they?
We’re working on virtual game, is it the same as those traditional
online games outside? Are your brains all covered by shit? Redo it,
and give the new plan to me before eight.”

The meeting room was silent as no one dared to refute even half a
sentence, after all, they wanted the meeting to quickly end. When
Bai Zheng finally left, they all exhaled loudly. The director for the
advertising department was more worried, when other people got
scolded, then it was just getting scolded, but he had to redo
everything before eight, he felt stifled the more he thought about it.

Bai Zheng returned to his office with a frown, his assistant gave
him a glass of water in time. Just now, the general manager scolded
people so much, he must be feeling thirsty right now.

“General manager, this is the letter of intent for cooperation from

Tengfei Technology.” Waiting until Bai Zheng finished his cup of
water, his assistant then passed him a document.

Bai Zheng looked over and asked, “How’s the progress of the game
development department?”

“Zhang Gong had just came here, he let me ask you when Second
young master will be back to work.” The assistant said.

“What?” Bai Zheng frowned, “They still haven’t figured out a

solution yet?”

“Still no progress.”

“Can’t all of them work without Xiao Chuan?” Bai Zheng couldn’t
help but cursed. Xiao Chuan is only on vacation for more than half a
month, and the entire game development department can’t even
write a small program? More than half a month, and the work has not
progressed at all!

The assistant was afraid to answer, even though he’s unspecialized

www.asianovel.com
 242 Report
in programming, but he knew that there’s no one that can be
compared with the Bai family’s Second young master. Their Yifeng’s
development of virtual games is so much ahead of the current
industry, and wasn’t it all because of Second young master’s scholar
syndrome’s brain? This scholar syndrome ah, they can’t be compared
with ordinary people.

“General manager, the phone rang during your meeting, it seems

to be a message from home.” The assistant gave a reminder.

Bai Zheng stopped, then took the phone for a look, his expression
subconsciously softened. He put down his phone and instructed,
“Cancel all the left over work, I want to get off work on time today.”

“Yes.” The assistant turned around and left the office, he took out
his phone and called the bullied advertising department’s head,
“General manager wants to get off work on time today.”

“Brother, I’m unable to repay your great kindness, let me treat you
for a meal ah.”

The assistant laughed and hung up the phone.

On the other side of the city, Li Rong, who just finished with the
charity auction, was declining a dinner invitation from the chairman
of the charity foundation.

“Mrs. Bai, how about going to Xianghe Hotel for dinner?”

“No, no, my son and daughter-in-law are returning from their

honeymoon today, I have to go back and have a welcome dinner with
them.” Li Rong said politely.

“Has Bai Zheng married again?” The chairman was shocked.

“Not him, my second son.” Li Rong smiled, said her farewell,

turned and left the place.

When Uncle Li was in the middle of preparing dinner in the kitchen,
he received three identical short messages, “Will come back for
dinner.”

At 6.30 in the evening, everyone from the Bai family appeared on

the dining table on time. Some portion of the dishes presented were
all local specialties brought by Mu Xiaoya. During the meal, Mu
Xiaoya also took out the cherry wine for everyone to taste. The two
men of the Bai family all praised continuously, Mu Xiaoya can even
heard how exaggerated the praises that came from Li Rong’s mouth.
However, thinking of the others’ intentions, Mu Xiaoya just smiled
and didn’t expose them.

After having dinner, Mu Xiaoya talked to the Bai family about their
life in the cherry garden. Although they stayed in the cherry garden
for half a month, but they led a leisurely life. In addition to picking
cherries every day, they also sat under the tree to enjoy the cool
breeze. Mu Xiaoya said it casually, but the three people in the Bai
family all listened with keen interest. Especially if it’s about Bai
Chuan, even if it’s just a small matter, they will give great response
back.

Mu Xiaoya also gave out the gifts they prepared, “Dad, mom,
brother, we went out to play this time, there’s nothing except for
cherries there, so I and Xiao Chuan can only make some cherry jams
together for you.”

“You guys’ cherry jam?” Li Rong tightened her grip.

“Me and my classmate were the ones who brewed it, but the
cherries were picked by Xiao Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“Xiao Chuan picked them?” Now even Bai Guoyu and Bai Zheng
became a little restless.

“En, two big baskets full, almost fifty pounds.”

The three of the Bai family suddenly opened their glimmering eyes
and looked at Bai Chuan eagerly: ‘Is this gift made by Bai Chuan
himself?’

Bai Chuan looked at them with a baffled expression.

Mu Xiaoya promptly reminded, “Xiao Chuan, where’s the gift that

we prepared?”

“Upstairs, I’ll get it.” Bai Chuan answered, stood up and started
walking upstairs in a not so fast and not so slow pace. The three
members of the Bai family watched Bai Chuan going up and then
going down the stairs blankly, then continued to stare at the three
bottles of jam inside Bai Chuan’s hands.

“I picked the cherries.” Bai Chuan stood in front of the three people
that were staring at him with burning gazes, then repeated the words
that Mu Xiaoya asked him to say, “Eating jam can improve beauty,
strengthen the spleen and stomach, and is good for the body. These
are for you.”

Then, he was like a leader giving trophies to his subordinates one

by one, from left to right, Bai Zheng, Li Rong and Bai Guoyu.

The three of the Bai family each held a bottle of jam and looked at
the exact same packaging. At the same time, they came up with an
idea: In a while, I have to write my own name, lest it get taken by
mistake or eaten by some thief.

Bai Chuan’s biological clock was very stable, he wakes up every

morning at six. When he was in the cherry garden before, the
morning sun made him get up half an hour earlier. But after they
returned home, with the thick curtain covering the window, Bai
Chuan’s biological clock returned to its original state. Similarly, Mu
Xiaoya’s too.

However, although Bai Chuan would wake up at six every morning,

Mu Xiaoya would just sleep until she naturally wakes up, then
resumed to plop on the bed again.

Bai Chuan had been up for five minutes, he stood at the bed and
looked anxiously at Mu Xiaoya sleeping, wondering whether to wake
her up or not.

“Xiao Chuan, I’ll run with you every morning, remember to wake
me up ah.” This was what Mu Xiaoya said to Bai Chuan before going
to bed last night.

But now…

“Xiaoya, get up, run.” Bai Chuan carefully nudge Mu Xiaoya.

“Mnnhh~, don’t want, I don’t want to get up.” Mu Xiaoya wrapped

herself with a quilt, turned over and went to sleep.

This was the third time already, and the only differences between
the three times he tried to wake her were probably just their
dialogues. The first time, she asked to sleep for another five minutes,
and now, she just simply refused to get up.

Waiting for another five minutes, Bai Chuan called her two times

www.asianovel.com
 246 Report
before he finally realized the reality, that was, the sleeping Mu
Xiaoya can suddenly turned hostile. And that she disliked getting up
early.

After being rejected three times, Bai Chuan decided to go out and
run on his own. He promised to Mu Xiaoya that he wouldn’t give up
halfway, although the one who gave up first was Mu Xiaoya…

Have to run for another extra 100 meters every day, so I should
run 2700 meters today.

After changing to sportswear and putting on his sports shoes, Bai

Chuan pushed the door and went downstairs, walked through the
living room, straight to the garden outside. At the gate, he
encountered Bai Zheng who was also going to run.

Seeing his brother dressed up in sportswear, Bai Zheng suddenly

widened his eyes. There was a trace of shock on his usually
inexpressive face, “Bai Chuan, what… are you doing?”

Bai Chuan also noticed his big brother and mumbled back a word.

“Run.”

Run, of course I know that you want to run, I know that you want to
run as soon as I take a look at your appearance, the question is, you
actually want to run?

Bai Zheng’s heart was full of thousands of words, but his mouth
only said, “Together?”

Bai Chuan didn’t say anything and just ran out of his own. He
calculated already, run from the gate down to the foot of the hill,
straight to the second traffic light, that was about 1 km, then run
again for another 350 meters before going back home, it was exactly
2700 meters.

Bai Zheng saw his brother ran first and immediately followed. Bai

www.asianovel.com
 247 Report
Chuan’s speed wasn’t fast so he can caught up with him in two steps.
The two ran for about a hundred meters before an intersection
appeared in front of them. Bai Zheng considered that his brother
might be unfamiliar with the surrounding environment so he took the
initiative and proposed, “Xiao Chuan, run to the left side, there’s a
small park there.”

Bai Chuan ignored him, following his own route and ran downhill.

Bai Zheng saw that his brother ignored him, but he didn’t get
angry and instead continued to catch up. It’s just a different route,
nothing to fuss about, the only point of running today was that he
can run together with his brother, this was something that he never
even dreamed of before. Thinking like this along the way, Bai Zheng
felt that the sole of his feet were like wind, his steps were light and
fast.

Just after the two brothers of the Bai family ran out together, the
master and madam got up from bed, went and sit on the living room
as Uncle Li delivered the coffee that had been prepared for this
morning and reported to them first-hand of the good news.

“Master, Madam, Eldest young master and Second young master

went to run together.”

“What?” Bai Guoyu was pleasantly shocked that he almost spilled

his coffee.

“Cough cough…” However, Li Rong, who had taken a sip of the

coffee, was now coughing desperately.

“Uncle Li, what did you say? Xiao Chuan going on a morning jog?”
Somehow, the first thing Li Rong did was to find out if she heard him
wrong.

“Indeed. Five minutes ago, Second young master went down the

www.asianovel.com
 248 Report
stairs alone and met with Eldest young master at the gate, so they
cheerfully went on their morning jog.” Uncle Li smiled while repeating
his words.

“Alone? He’s not with Xiaoya?” Li Rong asked.

“Yes, Second young mistress wasn’t there.”

The couple stared at each other with shock, their faces showed
how unbelievable it was. Their autistic, introvert, non-sociable child,
would somehow get up early and went to jog? Morning jog ah, what a
bright and healthy activity, this wasn’t what an autistic person likes
to do.

The so called seeing is believing, before they saw it with their own
eyes, the couple chose not to believe it first. The two adjusted their
sitting postures, each holding a cup of coffee, glancing at the gate
from time to time.

“Master, madam, the two young masters went out for less than ten
minutes and won’t come back so soon.” Uncle Li reminded
thoughtfully.

“Cough… I know.” Bai Guoyu awkwardly put down his cup of

coffee.

Uncle Li smiled and went to the kitchen to tell the cook to boil a
few more eggs. These two ran out for a jog, they would need more
protein ah.

Having been reminded by Uncle Li, the Bai couple finally realized
that it’d take at least half an hour to finish morning jog, they didn’t
have to look at the door in such a hurry. And so, one picked up the
phone, while the other picked up the newspaper to keep themselves
busy.

But they only watched for a while before hearing the maid’s
greeting from outside the door, “Eldest young master, Second young

www.asianovel.com
 249 Report
master.”

Already returned?

The two quickly put the things in their hands and looked at the
door together to find Bai Chuan’s slightly ruddy face as he panted
lightly while entering the gate. However, Bai Zheng who was behind
him, his face wasn’t red, neither was he gasping, it felt like he hadn’t
gone out to run.

Bai Zheng was a little depressed, his body was just warmed up but
Bai Chuan suddenly stopped running. After they ran just a little more
than one kilometer, Bai Chuan turned around and ran back home. He
hurried to catch up and proposed that they run some more forward
so they can reach the purpose of exercising. In the end, Bai Chuan
answered him with a sentence:

“Xiaoya said I only need to run 2700 meters today.”

“…” Xiaoya said, Xiaoya said, of course what I said can’t be

counted as words ah. Talking about exercising, can she be compared
with me? Bai Zheng who had exercised his body without fail for
seven to eight years couldn’t help but compared them fiercely in his
heart.

“Xiao Chuan, you went for a run?” Li Rong waited for Bai Chuan to
get closer before asking.

Bai Chuan’s steps halted, he looked at his mother and lightly

nodded his head.

“Why did you suddenly think of running?” In fact, Li Rong had

already guessed the answer, it must be Xiaoya that asked him to run.
However, even if Li Rong knew it, she still wanted to talk to her son,
because she knew that as long as it was about Mu Xiaoya, Bai Chuan
would definitely answer.

“Xiaoya said my strength is insufficient.”

www.asianovel.com
 250 Report
“Pfft~~” Bai Guoyu who had just escaped from a calamity, finally
sprayed his coffee too.

The three members of the Bai family was shaken by Bai Chuan’s
‘insufficient strength’, they all blanked right until Bai Chuan returned
to his room.

“It’s… Does it mean the same as what I think?” Li Rong asked her
husband.

“Cough…” Bai Guoyu’s face blushed, “Don’t think about it, what
does Xiao Chuan know ah?”

Bai Zheng felt that his dad was right. His brother was just a little
more than a pure teenager, so it certainly wasn’t the things that just
slipped past his mind.

“Well… I hope Xiao Chuan understand things a little bit so I can

hug my grandson earlier ah.” After the initial shock, Li Rong started
to feel regret. If what Mu Xiaoya said about him having ‘insufficient
strength’ really referred to that thing, then wouldn’t their Bai family
about to have a baby?

“Don’t be too greedy, it’s already good that Xiao Chuan is doing
better now.” Bai Guoyu advised his wife.

“I know, but I can’t help but look forward to it.” Li Rong sighed.
“Before, I only thought about Bai Chuan’s healthy growth, and we
didn’t even dare think about his work or marriage. But now, Xiao
Chuan is not only able to work, but he’s also married. It’s going this
well, how can I not think about this? What’s more, what if this really
can happen then?”

Bai Guoyu made a mental connection with what his wife was
saying, so his heart couldn’t help but felt a little emotional.

“It’s a pity ah.” Li Rong said with a troubled expression, “We don’t
understand anything about Bai Chuan, just like a piece of white

www.asianovel.com
 251 Report
paper, we also don’t know if he can… do that.”

As soon as the two words ‘do that’ came out, Bai Zheng’s face
suddenly turned black. He never thought that he and his parents
would one day sit down together and talk about… that.

“Bai Zheng.” Li Rong suddenly stared at her family’s eldest son.

“Ah?” Bai Zheng lifted his head up.

“How about… you go and teach you brother?”

“Clang!” Bai Zheng suddenly overturned the hot coffee delivered

by a maid, immediately drenching his body.

“Eldest young master, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” The maid was so
scared that she wanted to cry, why did she make this mistake so
early in the morning?

“It’s okay, take the things away.” Bai Zheng wiped his hands with a
few napkins and waited for the maid to leave. He couldn’t help but
frowned at his mother, “Ma, what are you saying ah?”

When Li Rong saw his eldest son’s frown, she knew that he was
angry, so she didn’t dare to ask Bai Zheng’s help anymore, only
turning her head and stared at her husband with a wronged look.

“Cough… Bai Zheng ah, what’s your opinion on the project

mentioned by the project department?” Bai Guoyu safely shifted the
topic.

Li Rong rolled her eyes and looked at the direction of the second
floor. She started to think: Do I have to act as a mother-in-law and
give Xiaoya a hint? Wouldn’t it seem like I was hurrying her? This
doesn’t seem like what a good mother-in-law would do ah…

Mu Xiaoya knew nothing about the series of incidents triggered by
Bai Chuan’s words that morning, it was just at breakfast, she
suddenly noticed that everyone looked at her like something was
wrong.

It must be that Bai Chuan went for a jog at morning and shocked
them.

Mu Xiaoya quickly found the perfect explanation for herself.

After breakfast, everyone was ready to go to work, even Mu Xiaoya

had an appointment with Fang Hui to meet at the studio.

Bai Chuan sent Mu Xiaoya to the gate.

“I’ll return at night.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“What time?” Bai Chuan asked the detail.

“En~~ six o’clock. I’ll return home at six o’clock.”

“Okay.” Bai Chuan nodded his head. Watching the other person
leave until the car was no longer visible, then turned back to the
mansion, ready to return to his room and wait for Mu Xiaoya.

Six in the evening, he can pass it after reading for a while easily
ah.

Bai Chuan returned to the room and picked a book from the
bookshelf. Just when he was about to go to the balcony, the bedroom
door was suddenly knocked.

Bai Zheng stood outside the door, he wasn’t sure if Bai Chuan
would open the door. Before, when they entered Bai Chuan’s room,
the never knocked the door, because Bai Chuan might not open the
door for them. So every time they had to look for Bai Chuan, or when
they told a servant to deliver things to him, they all just directly
entered his room. But now Bai Chuan was married, the room wasn’t

www.asianovel.com
 253 Report
his alone, so Bai Zheng didn’t just push the door and entered like
before.

He thought about it, if Bai Chuan didn’t open the door after five
minutes, then he would wait until night to speak with him.

“Click.”

The door opened, Bai Zheng was surprised as he stared at Bai

Chuan in front of him. He was once again assured that Bai Chuan’s
condition had really improved.

He learned to open the door ah~~~!!

“Not Xiaoya.” Bai Chuan expressed his disappointment once he

saw Bai Zheng’s face.

“…” I apologize that I’m not your wife.

Bai Zheng took a deep breath and exhaled a chaotic air, he asked,
“Xiao Chuan, when do you plan to go back to work?”

“Not going.” After saying this, Bai Chuan closed the door directly.

“…”

If you weren’t my brother, I would’ve fired you a hundred times

already…

TL NOTE:

I can’t- Bai Zheng is so pitiful~~（*´▽`*)

Also, let’s us offer a solemn pray for the spilled coffee in the Bai

Mu Xiaoya drove the car near the studio. From a distance she saw
a brand new door plague, H&Y, two huge English flowery alphabet,
artistically carved on the door, letting everyone that passed it to feel
a sense of fashion from this studio.

Mu Xiaoya parked the car, walked quickly to the door, she couldn’t
wait to push it open.

The sun poured in from the floor-to-ceiling window, paving the

ground with brilliance, surrounded by lush greenery from all sides
and fresh design, which made people feel comfortable when they
look at it. In the studio, there were several desks and several
workbenches which weren’t packed and close to each other. And in
the corner, just like Mu Xiaoya’s original idea, a small coffee bar was
installed, with all kinds of coffee appliances on the bar.

This… is the ‘surprise’ Fang Hui said to me last time real?

“You look so silly.” Didn’t know where Fang Hui came out from, she
only looked at Mu Xiaoya who was blankly standing on the door, and
made fun of her.

“Fang Hui, this… how did you do this?” Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help
asking, although she hadn’t done any decorations herself, she also
had eyesight ah. Just talking about the coffee appliances on the bar,
they can’t be bought if you don’t have hundreds of thousands.
Indeed, she wanted to make a coffee bar at first, but she just planned
to buy something similar online and install it wherever.

“How much did you spend on this decoration? The sofa, bookshelf,
desk, there’s no peculiar smell at all. We can’t install these things
with our little bit of money ah. Moreover, this decoration is
www.asianovel.com
 255 Report
completely different from the original design you gave me.”

“Is it better or is it worse?”

“Of course it’s better! The question is, where did the money come
from ah?”

“We didn’t spend any money.” Fang Hui said proudly.

“Didn’t spend any money?” Mu Xiaoya blanked, “How is it that you

didn’t spend any money? Is it your dad…”

Fang Hui’s family was quite rich, and it’s not impossible for Father
Fang to support his daughter in starting a business.

“My dad brought two bottles of wine over, and I put them in the
refrigerator. We’ll drink together when we start our business.” Fang
Hui said.

“It’s not your dad? Then?”

“One of us has a nouveau rich daddy, the other married to a

wealthy and influential family. If it’s not me, then…” Fang Hui
stopped to let Mu Xiaoya digest the information.

“A person from Bai Chuan’s?” Mu Xiaoya guessed, “How come? I

didn’t even tell them where the studio is.”

“You can find anything with money ah. Besides, when we

registered, didn’t we write down the address on the business license?
Now the industry and commerce website has online publicity and one
can check them if they want to.” Fang Hui gave Mu Xiaoya a bottle of
water from the refrigerator and said, “On that day when you were out
of Yun City, someone came to the door, said that he’s Bai Chuan’s
brother’s assistant, bringing along a designer directly to me. They
didn’t bother me with design plan, material selection, decoration,
labor and other expenses, I only gave the keys and went home to
sleep.”

www.asianovel.com
 256 Report
“But I remembered that you wanted that coffee bar, so I told them,
and voila~!” Fang Hui sat down on the sofa and continued, “Doing all
of this for free, the only requirement they gave me was to not bother
you with renovations during your honeymoon.”

“Bai Zheng?!” Mu Xiaoya never thought that Bai Zheng would find
someone to decorate her studio.

“Didn’t you find it weird that I never took the initiative to find you
in the past half month?” Fang Hui asked.

“I thought that you just knew how to be tactful ah.” Mu Xiaoya

smiled sheepishly.

“Bah! You ran out for honeymoon yourself and made me renovate
a large studio like this. If someone didn’t help, I would’ve bothered
you to death.” Fang Hui said in annoyance. It was already good to let
Mu Xiaoya spend her honeymoon in their initial stage of pioneering
this business, but Mu Xiaoya still dare to think that she won’t bother
her at all?

“Then, how much does this cost?”

“It’s about five or six hundreds, there’s no need to think about it

too much, just think that this is the Bai family’s gift for you.” Fang
Hui made the decision for Mu Xiaoya.

“…” Mu Xiaoya was at a loss for a time, thinking that she really
couldn’t afford this with her current economic strength, so she had to
keep this in mind and wait for an opportunity to return the favor
later.

“I made some plans in the past two days. The studio won’t have
any business in the early stage, thus we won’t need many people, we
can just hire one or two people.” After visiting the studio, the two
started talking about work.

“I don’t have any opinion. When do you want to open then?” Mu

www.asianovel.com
 257 Report
Xiaoya asked.

“How about tomorrow? We can put two flower baskets and set off
firecrackers or something.”

“…isn’t it too casual?”

“I also don’t want to be casual ah, but the problem is that there’s
not a lot of people around here, if we organize a big event with no
one to watch, wouldn’t it be such a waste of money and energy
then?”

Mu Xiaoya nodded, thinking that what Fang Hui said made sense,
“By the way, how were the design drawings I sent you before?” She
also didn’t just go on vacation when she went to the cherry garden,
she drew several design drawings that were passed on to Fang Hui.

“I already gave the blueprint to my uncle.” Fang Hui’s uncle was

the owner of a shoe factory. There’s a very large shoe processing
factory under his hand, making international brands, and also
producing a few shoes to sell himself. Mu Xiaoya made a pair of
women sneakers during the final exam of the second semester and
gave it to Fang Hui as a birthday gift. Fang Hui really liked it and was
seen wearing it when she went home by her uncle, thus he asked
Fang Hui to take it off for him to copy.

Fang Hui had a quarrel with him at the time, but she successfully
made her uncle spend 5000 yuan to buy Mu Xiaoya’s first design.
Later, Mu Xiaoya cooperated with the other party several times, Fang
Hui also helped to talk about the share from her design drafts. Two of
her designs were sold very well, which gave Mu Xiaoya some profit,
and that’s how she managed to save 300 thousand yuan to open
their business.

“My uncle, that unscrupulous merchant, said again that he wanted

to buy out*, so he got cursed by my mom.” [*to purchase the right of
the design’s production]

www.asianovel.com
 258 Report
Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but laugh.

“After being re-educated by my mother, my uncle finally accepted

my proposal.” Fang Hui said excitedly, “Now the shoes has been put
into production and my uncle agreed to sell it in his store and online
store first, putting our trade mark on them, and adding our website
URL inside the product box.”

“This good?” not just helping them sell in retail, but also helping
them advertise.

“However, we have to share half of the profit with him.” Fang Hui
added.

“Of course we should, such a good distribution channel and free

advertising can’t be bought with just a little money.” Not to mention
how much her own design drafts’ worth, just with how Fang Hui’s
uncle paved the way of a complete distribution channel for them,
even if she didn’t receive a share of the profit, it wasn’t
necessarily not doable.

“Who made him my uncle? Shouldn’t he help his nephew starting

her business?” Fang Hui’s convenient take was justified.

“I finally know why the rich are getting richer, it’s because they
help each other.” Mu Xiaoya sighed.

“You think ah, excelling in college, mixing in society, one should

have high EQ and wide connections. If it weren’t for my uncle, how
can I dare to open studio?” Although she didn’t lack money, she’s
also not so foolish as to throw away money like a toy.

“How many shoes did our first batch were put into production?”

“I originally planned to set aside 300 thousand for this early

stage’s cost, planned to do less at first, wait until we gain some profit
back then continue to produce more, but now we didn’t even spend a
dime on the decoration, so I just throw in the 700 thousand

www.asianovel.com
 259 Report
altogether.” Fang Hui said.

“All?” Mu Xiaoya was shocked.

“Don’t worry, with my uncle’s distribution network, even if the

sales situation is less than ideal, it won’t be difficult to cover the cost,
rest assured ah.” Fang Hui said with confidence.

Mu Xiaoya was really not as good as Fang Hui in selling things,

seeing her so determined, she didn’t say anything more.

The two also discussed the sales plan after the shoes went on the
market, the official flagship store’s operating method, and the matter
of recruitment. After talking about these big and small things,
afternoon came in a flash. Mu Xiaoya looked at the time, it was
already more than 5 o’clock. Remembering her promise with Bai
Chuan, she got up from the chair.

“Fang Hui, I have to go home now.”

“Eh? Why?” Fang Hui was just screening a few resumes to show Mu
Xiaoya.

“I promised Bai Chuan to go back at six.”

“…I don’t think you’re looking out for your husband, you’re just like
a mother who has a child ah, have to go home and cook for the child
as soon as you get off work.”

“Where do you single dogs understand the romance of us, married

couple?” Mu Xiaoya attacked verbally.

“You hurry roll out! You think you guys can ridicule us singles,
what’s wrong with being single? I’m single today, that doesn’t mean
that I’ll be single tomorrow.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, then I have to wish you the best romantic encounter
tonight.”

www.asianovel.com
 260 Report
Fang Hui listened happily, and just when she was laughing, an
express delivery boy came from the door, carrying a big box in his
hand, “Excuse me, which one is miss Mu Xiaoya?”

“Me.” Mu Xiaoya was surprised.

“Hello, this is your courier, please sign here.”

Mu Xiaoya signed the paper and looked at the big box with a
confused expression.

“What did you buy?” Fang Hui asked.

“I didn’t buy it ah.” Mu Xiaoya also wanted to ask.

“What is this thing?”

“It looks like a jigsaw puzzle.” There’s a shop information on the

delivery list, which was a Taobao shop that specializes in jigsaw
puzzles.

Regardless, Mu Xiaoya just shoved the puzzle into the back seat
and drove home. She tried to rush, but still got home late because of
the traffic jam. At this time, Bai Chuan had been waiting for her for
more than ten minutes at the door.

Mu Xiaoya didn’t expect that Bai Chuan would be waiting for her at
the door and she felt guilty at once, “Sorry, I’m late.”

“It’s okay.” Bai Chuan wasn’t angry, because Mu Xiaoya had

improved a lot compared to before. In the past, Mu Xiaoya would
always told him that she would come to see him in two days, but
every time she walked out, it would be one or two months before
they can see each other again. It was only ten minutes this time, so it
can be said to be really quick ah.

At dinner, it seemed that the other Bai family all had to attend
social engagements, so Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan simply ate dinner

www.asianovel.com
 261 Report
and went back to their room. Mu Xiaoya opened the jigsaw puzzle
she received in the afternoon, revealing a nearly 50 inch puzzle
frame and five big bundle of puzzle pieces.

“How much pieces are there?” Mu Xiaoya turned over the

documents, glanced at the numbers and suddenly exclaimed, “Five
thousand?!”

Who did this puzzle come from, and they also knew the address of
the studio. Mu Xiaoya turned over the packaging bag and found a
complete picture of the puzzle: A pair of a man and a woman sitting
in front of a wooden house while eating watermelon.

“Liang Nuonuo.” With just one glance, Mu Xiaoya already knew

who sent this package of puzzles. This chap actually took their
photos to custom-make such a large puzzle, “How can I arrange such
a big puzzle ah?”

Mu Xiaoya impatiently took out her phone and began to reason

with Liang Nuonuo, “Liang Nuonuo, what do you mean by sending me
such a big puzzle ah?”

“Aish, it arrived so soon. How is it? Do you think that photo is

particularly artistic? No need to thank me, it’s my wedding gift for
you.” Liang Nuonuo said with a smile.

“The photo is good, but why did you make it into 5 thousand puzzle
pieces ah? How can I piece them together ah? Don’t you know I have
a hard time even just looking at a map?” Mu Xiaoya was 100% sure
Liang Nuonuo was intentional.

“Such a good looking photo, of course you have to piece it together

slowly so it can have more appeal, good luck oh~” After saying this,
Liang Nuonuo just hung her phone and stopped talking with Mu
Xiaoya.

“…you did it on purpose.” Mu Xiaoya said fiercely, but there’s no

www.asianovel.com
 262 Report
way to get revenge on her ah. When she turned around and was
about to put away the puzzle, she found Bai Chuan was on the floor
while doing something.

“Xiao Chuan, what are…” Mu Xiaoya squatted down to take a look

and suddenly stopped talking.

She saw Bai Chuan sitting cross-legged on the floor with the
opened puzzle packages beside him. Bai Chuan held the scattered
puzzle pieces and quickly putting them together with an unbelievable
speed. Some of the pieces were placed in the middle and some in the
corner, with a fast and determined movements, as if he didn’t need
to think, he placed the pieces right where they belonged.

Mu Xiaoya looked at him quietly, and after half an hour, she

already saw her own face on the puzzle board.

Five thousand pieces of jigsaw puzzles can be pieced together with

just a glance, so… is this another skill of someone with scholar
syndrome?

Mu Xiaoya was sitting on the floor, looking at Bai Chuan putting the
puzzle pieces one by one and repeating the same action five
thousand times. This should be an extremely boring thing to watch,
but the constantly perfected drawing looked so wonderful in front of
her eyes.

Some people say that the perfect condition between men and
women was when the men spoil the women, while the women adore
the men, at this moment, Mu Xiaoya suddenly felt that her marriage
was this kind of ‘perfect condition’. Whether it’s recognizing the road,
looking at the map, doing math problems, or putting together
puzzles… Bai Chuan always shows that same kind of specialty, she
can’t help but want to adore him, Bai Chuan was far better than what
she thought at first.

When Bai Chuan put the last puzzle piece on its place, Mu Xiaoya
couldn’t wait and immediately took out her phone to take a picture.

“I’ll send it to Nuonuo now, she thinks that 5 thousand pieces of

puzzle will be able to upset me? Humph!” Mu Xiaoya took a picture of
the puzzle, flaunted it to her circle of friends, and wrote an extremely
cocky essay:

‘Took only two hours to complete the five thousand pieces of

puzzle, it was so easy, who dares to give me something more
difficult?’

After a while, a bunch of messages came continuously:

‘Mumu, is this a wedding photo? You’re so creative ah.’

‘This watermelon, just a glance and you know it’s delicious.’

www.asianovel.com

‘No, no, the groom looks more delicious.’

‘Damn, Xiao wants someone else’ husband, be careful

Mumu, someone will come to challenge you someday.’

Fang Hui: ‘It was Bai Chuan who put them together oh~’

Mu Xiaoya replied to Fang Hui: ‘En.’

Liang Nuonuo immediately replied: ‘Don’t rely on your husband if

you have the ability.’

Mu Xiaoya posted a sticker of rolling her eyes and replied: ‘I have a

husband, why can’t I rely on him? If you have the ability, you can
also find one ah~’

Liang Nuonuo: ‘Beaten again…’

When Mu Xiaoya saw Liang Nuonuo conceded, she felt refreshed

and replied with a few comments before turning around with a smile
and said to Bai Chuan, “They’re all envious of me.”

“Envious about what?” Bai Chuan didn’t understand.

“Envious that I have a husband ah.”

Bai Chuan blanked, thinking that this matter had a relation with
himself, his eyes unconsciously brightened up.

“No, what they’re actually envious of is because I have you as my

husband. Not everyone’s husband is this handsome and smart.”

Bai Chuan’s slightly brightened eyes suddenly shone even more

brightly. Am I handsome and smart enough to make others admire
Xiaoya?

“I can still piece together even bigger puzzles.” He wanted others

to be more envious of Xiaoya.

“I know, but this one is already so big ah, let’s hang this puzzle
first, okay? Hang it on the bedhead as our wedding photo?” Speaking
of it, their marriage was somewhat hurried and they didn’t go
through a normal process, hence there’s no banquet or wedding
photos. It seemed that after rebirth, she followed the logical train of
thoughts and became Bai Chuan’s wife, but they still had those old
married couple method.

At this time, when she looked at the puzzle, Mu Xiaoya suddenly

came up with ideas to make up their wedding photos.

“En.” Bai Chuan took the finished puzzle, looked at the pure white
wall, and began to think about how to hang it up.

“I’ll call Uncle Li to help.” Mu Xiaoya went out of the bedroom to

find Uncle Li. When Uncle Li heard her request, he immediately
climbed upstairs with a toolbox in hand. Mu Xiaoya thought that Bai
Chuan who pieced the puzzle together for so long should be thirsty,
so she turned to the kitchen and poured a glass of warm water for
him.

Carrying two glasses of water, when Mu Xiaoya about to turn

around and go upstairs, Bai Zheng suddenly came in from the
outside, holding a glass in his hand, about to pour some water
himself.

“Brother.” Bai Zheng was a man with his own aura, furthermore,
he’s also quite reserved and seemed not approachable, and every
time Mu Xiaoya saw him, she can’t help but felt somewhat cautious.

“En.” Bai Zheng nodded, then casually entered the kitchen and
poured himself a glass of water.

Mu Xiaoya stood at the kitchen’s door for a while, mulling over for
a while, then said, “Brother, thank you.”

“?” Bai Zheng looked at Mu Xiaoya with surprise.

www.asianovel.com
 266 Report
“The studio, the decoration.” Mu Xiaoya reminded.

“You’re welcome.” Bai Zheng responded indifferently. He

mentioned about this matter with the assistant in a passing, actually,
he didn’t done anything excessive, so he didn’t feel that he helped
much.

“En…” Bai Zheng’s answer was too cold, and every word seemed
to express that he didn’t want to converse with Mu Xiaoya. Mu
Xiaoya felt a little embarrassed, so she just walked out silently with
the two glasses of water.

“That…” Who knew that just when Mu Xiaoya turned around, Bai
Zheng suddenly took the initiative to speak.

Mu Xiaoya hurriedly turned again to see Bai Zheng.

“Do you really want to thank me?” Bai Zheng asked with a taut
face.

“Of course.” Although she didn’t know why Bai Zheng asked her so
suddenly, Mu Xiaoya still answered straight-forwardly.

“Then… can you help me with something?” A trace of

embarrassment flashed across Bai Zheng’s face.

“What is it?” Mu Xiaoya asked curiously.

“Cough… can you ask Xiao Chuan to come back to work next
week? He has been on vacation for almost a month already.” Bai
Zheng’s eyes flickered, he was too embarrassed to look at Mu
Xiaoya.

“Okay, I’ll tell him.” Mu Xiaoya smiled and agreed. She didn’t ask
Bai Zheng why he asked her to tell Bai Chuan to get back to work,
because she knew that if it wasn’t because Bai Chuan had rejected
him, Bai Zheng wouldn’t come to her. Such a loss of face, Mu Xiaoya
naturally won’t expose him.

www.asianovel.com
 267 Report
“Thank you. When your studio opens, I’ll let someone send some
flower baskets.” After that, Bai Zheng strode forward and left the
kitchen before Mu Xiaoya can say anything. Looking at that back, it
was clear that he was trying to hide his embarrassment.

Mu Xiaoya looked at him almost running and couldn’t help but

burst out laughing.

Back in the bedroom, Mu Xiaoya found that the puzzle hadn’t been
hung yet, she looked at Uncle Li with surprise.

“Second young master doesn’t let me nail at the head of the

bead.” Uncle Li was holding a hammer in his hand, his face was
depressed, “But if we don’t nail it, how can this be hung up ah?”

Mu Xiaoya was stunned, but she didn’t worry about it, instead, she
first gave Bai Chuan a glass of water, waited until Bai Chuan emptied
it then asked, “Don’t want to hang the puzzle?”

Bai Chuan looked at the position of the head of the bed and shook
his head gloomily.

“Then, why don’t you let Uncle Li put the nail?”

“Uncomfortable.” Bai Chuan frowned, his voice seemed aggrieved.

He wanted to hang the puzzle, but as soon as Uncle Li wanted to
hammer the nail in, his head suddenly hurt. He didn’t want to let Mu
Xiaoya down, nor did he want to have another episode. The dilemma
of not knowing what to do made him felt unwell and wronged.

Uncomfortable? Mu Xiaoya blanked, “You don’t like the sound of

the nail hammered in?”

Bai Chuan shook his head.

“Then, you don’t like that there’s a nail on the bedhead?”

“En.” Bai Chuan felt even more uncomfortable that his thoughts

www.asianovel.com
 268 Report
were guessed by Mu Xiaoya. He had promised Mu Xiaoya, and he
really wanted to hang the picture of them together, but he didn’t
understand why he couldn’t bear the extra nail at that place.

“It’s not that I intentionally disagree.” Bai Chuan didn’t know how
to express his feeling, thus he could only held his breath and
squeezed this one sentence out.

He didn’t intentionally disagree, but he also couldn’t say clearly

why he did that, fortunately, Mu Xiaoya understood.

“Then we just won’t nail it.” Mu Xiaoya comforted him, “It can be
hung up without nails, it’s just a bit more troublesome, maybe we
can do that tomorrow. Uncle Li, can I trouble you to help me put up
this picture without nails tomorrow?”

“Yes, no problem.” Uncle Li spent so many years in the Bai’s

mansion and also watched Bai Chuan grew up, he understood
immediately what Mu Xiaoya meant in her words just now. The
second young master was vexed to see the nail on top of the
bedhead, then he would just call on a professional tomorrow to
prevent Second young master from seeing the nail.

When Bai Chuan heard this, her furrowed eyebrows immediately

relaxed, a look of joy appeared clearly on his face.

Uncle Li promised and immediately returned to his place carrying

the toolbox. Bai Chuan carefully put the puzzle that made Mu Xiaoya
proud of him on the desk, for fear of accidentally bumping and
messing it up.

“Xiao Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya walked to Bai Chuan’s side and asked

naturally, “Were you confused just now?”

“Confused?” Bai Chuan rarely comes into contact with this word,
and at the moment, it seemed somewhat incomprehensible.

“Confused means that you’re in a dilemma when deciding

www.asianovel.com
 269 Report
something.” Mu Xiaoya explained patiently, “Didn’t you want to hang
the painting, but you don’t want the nail to be put up there, and
that’s why you felt uncomfortable?”

“En, headache.” Bai Chuan honestly nodded.

“Then later, didn’t we think of a solution together?” Mu Xiaoya

asked again.

“En.” Although Xiaoya isn’t good at math and has a bad memory,
but she’s still very clever in some ways.

“So, have you discovered that, in fact, many confusing things all
have solutions that can satisfy everyone? The next time you
encountered something that confuses you, don’t be anxious, don’t
feel uncomfortable, you can think about it quietly and surely you can
find a solution. Moreover, you won’t get a headache this way” Mu
Xiaoya stared at Bai Chuan with encouragement.

Mu Xiaoya’s words were a bit long, and the causality implied was
somewhat complicated for Bai Chuan. Fortunately, Bai Chuan’s
memory was very good, he repeated this sentence over and over
again until he understood what Mu Xiaoya meant.

“En, later, I’ll think about it.” Bai Chuan earnestly promised.

“Awesome!” Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help praising him.

Bai Chuan showed a light smile.

“The day after tomorrow, can we go and see my parents?” Mu

Xiaoya had wanted to go and visit her parents ever since they went
back from the cherry garden, but being high school teachers, they
didn’t have what one called ‘summer vacation’. They had to give
makeup classes in the school for the senior students and returned
home after 10 at night. Mu Xiaoya can only find them at weekend at
every summer vacation.

www.asianovel.com
 270 Report
As long as he’s with Mu Xiaoya, Bai Chuan would have no problem
wherever they go.

“There’s one more thing I want to discuss with you.” Mu Xiaoya

said seriously, “This time, I might have to use your salary card to buy
some gifts for my parents.”

Xiaoya wants to use his salary card? Then use it ah. Bai Chuan
stared at Mu Xiaoya, waiting for her to continue.

Mu Xiaoya waited for a while, but she still didn’t see Bai Chuan’s
reaction when she finally realized that she didn’t use an interrogative
sentence just now, so that must be why Bai Chuan didn’t know to
answer. She immediately asked, “Can I use it?”

Although Bai Chuan said that he gave the money in the salary card
for her to use, but Bai Chuan himself had no idea about the concept
of money. However, as a couple, Mu Xiaoya felt that she had to let
him know what she would spend his money on.

“Give it all to you.” Bai Chuan replied.

“Then, I won’t be polite.” Mu Xiaoya happily smiled. This sentence

of ‘give it all to you’, every time she heard it, she can’t help but be
happy ah.

After that, the two freshened up and went to bed. Before going to
bed, Mu Xiaoya took the phone and hesitated whether to set the
alarm clock or not. If it was just for breakfast with the Bai family, she
can just set it at 7.30, but if she want to run with Bai Chuan, then it
must be set at 5.30.

Half past five, it’s too early ah… Mu Xiaoya pondered but still
thought that it was too tiring. But, I promised Bai Chuan to run with
him, aish…

Wait, wait, it seems like I didn’t get up and run this morning…

www.asianovel.com
 271 Report
“Xiao Chuan, have you gone for a jog this morning?” Mu Xiaoya
asked.

“Run.” Bai Chuan replied, “2700 meters.” He’s not lazy ah.

“You went alone? Why didn’t you wake me up?” Mu Xiaoya was
shocked.

“You said you don’t want to get up.” I clearly called you three
times already.

Because I said that I don’t want to get up so Bai Chuan didn’t

continue waking me up and went to run alone, then doesn’t that
mean…

Mu Xiaoya rejoiced in her heart and said coquettishly, “Then later,

can you go on your morning jog without me?”

“Okay.” Bai Chuan nodded.

Mu Xiaoya cheered under her breath, then set the alarm clock at
7.30. How wonderful it was to be able to sleep two more hours in the
morning ah~

And thus, at the next morning, Bai Chuan got up at 6 o’clock on

time, changed clothes, went out, met Bai Zheng on the gate, and the
brothers ran together again. Bai Zheng was glad to find out that Bai
Chuan continued to run forward at the place where he made a 180
yesterday. Just when he thought that it was possible for him to run
with Bai Chuan today, Bai Chuan actually only ran fifty meters more,
and decisively returned again.

“…” Bai Zheng felt his happiness hasn’t even finished yet.

“You’re not running 2700 meters today?” Bai Zheng couldn’t help
asking.

“Today 2800 meters.” Bai Chuan, who had been running for more

www.asianovel.com
 272 Report
than half a month, had become accustomed to the amount of
exercise he has done at this time, thus he can speak with ease while
running. But, although he didn’t feel tired, he didn’t want to run an
extra meter more.

“Yesterday 2700, today 2800, so you add 100 meters everyday?”

Bai Zheng grasped the rule.

“En.”

So, according to this increasing ratio, if I want to run a five

kilometer happily with my brother, I still need… 22 days?

And also… has Mu Xiaoya told Xiao Chuan about going back to
work yet?

After breakfast, Bai Chuan sent Mu Xiaoya to work as usual. When

Mu Xiaoya arrived at the studio, Fang Hui was biting on a fruit
pancake.

“Have breakfast yet?” Fang Hui asked Mu Xiaoya.

“Yeap.” Mu Xiaoya replied, then opened the computer while

saying, “I read the resume you sent to my mail yesterday, I don’t
think there’s any problem, let the people come for an interview.”

“Alright, I’ll interview them later, you’re in charge of putting the

shoes on Taobao. It’s best to hang a few design drafts, that way
people can see our product’s style at a glance.” Fang Hui said.

“Okay.”Those who studied design naturally knew how to make

drawings, it wasn’t hard for Mu Xiaoya to design the page layout on
Taobao, however, this kind of thing waste quiet a lot of time, she
spent a whole morning finishing the page layout of just one type of
shoes.

At noon, the two went to a shopping mall nearby to eat. Fang Hui
suddenly asked Mu Xiaoya, “Your family’s Bai Chuan is so sticky with

www.asianovel.com
 273 Report
you, you have to work every day, won’t Bai Chuan make trouble at
home?”

“He won’t, Bai Chuan is very quiet. If you don’t bother him, he can
read books quietly all day by himself.” Although Bai Chuan had
autism, he’s not disturbing other people.

“Idling away one’s time is also not good ah. Didn’t you say last
time, what Professor Feng told you about letting Bai Chuan move
more and have more interaction outside for his improvement? How
about you bring him to the studio with you? Don’t worry, I don’t mind
you spreading dog food around.” Fang Hui said generously.

“Who says Bai Chuan has nothing to do? Our family’s Bai Chuan
has a job ah.” Mu Xiaoya complained.

“Has a job? What kind of job?” Fang Hui asked curiously.

“It seems to be programming, I also don’t know very well. Bai

Chuan’s mother said it accidentally last time but I didn’t ask in
detail.”

“Woah, have a job, that means he can make money ah.”

“That’s of course, Bai Chuan gave his salary card to me. I’m gonna
use Bai Chuan’s money to buy my parents some gifts later.” Mu
Xiaoya said in a small murmur.

Who let you discriminate against my family’s Bai Chuan? I’ll let you
know that my family’s Bai Chuan is very powerful, no less than
normal people.

“Salary card? How much is in his salary card? How much salary
does he get in a month?” Fang Hui couldn’t help wondering.

“I also don’t know, haven’t seen it yet ah.”

“Then, how about you look?” Fang Hui suggested.

www.asianovel.com
 274 Report
Mu Xiaoya was also curious, so she nodded, and the two sped up
their meal, then went to the ATM on the first floor to check the
balance together.

When Mu Xiaoya entered the password, Fang Hui didn’t follow

along, she just stood at the door of the machine compartment and
waited for Mu Xiaoya to tell her the answer. As a result, after waiting
for a long time, she still didn’t see Mu Xiaoya made any movement
and thus thought that the machine was broken.

“Is the machine broken?” Fang Hui asked.

Mu Xiaoya didn’t answer. She silently withdrew her bank card,

walked out of the compartment with a dull look, and then gestured
an ‘eight’ to Fang Hui with her fingers.

“Eight hundred thousand?”

Mu Xiaoya shook her head.

“Eight millions?”

“Eight digits.” Mu Xiaoya took a deep breath.

“Shut up! So much money? Are you sure that’s a salary card, not
the shares the Bai family gave to Bai Chuan?” According to Bai
Chuan’s age, even though he’s working, it should only be just a few
years, where did he make so much money? It’s possible if it’s the
company’s share dividend.

“No matter.” Mu Xiaoya clutched the bank card tightly in her hand,
“Alright,” she breathed out a dry air and said, “I’m going to buy the
30 thousand yuan massage chair just now and send it to my
parents.”

“Come on.” Fang Hui looked at Mu Xiaoya with contempt, holding

her husband’s eight-digit salary card and buying a mere 30 thousand
yuan thing, does she need to still grind her teeth like this?

“Okay! Order one!” Mu Xiaoya walked like a breeze, and went
straight to the showroom on the first floor.

Cup of Happiness

In the early morning of the weekend,

Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan returned to Mu Xiaoya’s parents’ home
together. Before leaving, Li Rong packed a bunch of gifts in the car
and told Mu Xiaoya to give them to the Mu father and
mother. Mu Xiaoya wasn’t pretentious and thanked her in-laws, then
loaded them all into the car.

An hour later, the two arrived at the Mu family’s home.

Mu Ruozhou and his wife, Shen Qingyi, had been waiting at the door
for a long time. Looking at the Audi vehicle from afar, they greeted
them with a smile.

“Xiao Chuan.” As soon as the car stopped, Shen Qingyi went up

to help Bai Chuan open the passenger seat’s door.

Bai Chuan got out of the car, looked at Shen Qingyi for a
while, before slowly spitting out three words.

“Thank you, mom.”

Although these three words were spoken in two separate

segments, this kind of autonomous conversation was extremely rare

www.asianovel.com
 277 Report
for Bai Chuan, who has autism. Shen Qingyi understood that and
naturally she was extremely excited.

“Ai ya, Xiao Chuan thanked me. Lao1It’s a title just to show
seniority aka that he’s the elder of the family, respectful title Mu, did
you hear it just now?” Shen Qingyi turned to ask her husband who
was standing next to her.

“I heard it, you move fast.” Mu Ruozhou was very depressed. He

clearly stood closer to the car. If he had just opened the door just
now, his “thank you” would have been for him.

Bai Chuan paused, glanced at his father-in-law, and called out,

“Dad.”

“Hey!” Mu Ruozhou was instantly healed, and his

eyes happily narrowed into a smile like his wife.

On the other side of the car, Mu Xiaoya, who hadn’t had her
parents’ attention for a long time, couldn’t help but “be jealous”:
“Look at you two’s attentiveness. If I didn’t know your son-in-law
came to visit you, I would have thought it was the leader who came
to visit.”2In China, they are communist, so they have a “leader” of
the communist party which is the “executive leader/ruler” of
China. Haha, BC’s importance is the same as the head of
China basically.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Shen Qingyi only gave
her daughter a minuscule of attention.

“Where am I talking nonsense? The car wasn’t

even parked yet, and you helped opened the door. No mother-in-law
opens the door for her son-in-law.”

“How can Xiao Chuan be the same?”

“Why is it different? Can’t my family’s Xiao Chuan open the

door?”

www.asianovel.com
 278 Report
“Yes!” When Shen Qingyi, who was about to speak to spite her
daughter, unexpectedly Bai Chuan spoke first.

“…”

Since this step was demolished, Mu Xiaoya happily bent over on

the spot. The Mu family’s elders were stunned for a while, then
laughed along with their daughter. Their family’s son-in-law was
special, but his reaction speed towards their daughter was really fast,
which was no different from ordinary people. In this way, their
worries in their hearts lightened.

Shen Qingyi even admitted to Bai Chuan: “It’s all my fault. I

shouldn’t have opened the door for you.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Although he didn’t take offense and his

mother-in-law apologized, Bai Chuan felt that he still had to
forgive her.

Mu Xiaoya was done with the greetings. She opened the trunk
and pulled out a large number of gifts. There were different color
bags that could be casually picked and there was more than a
dozen.

“Why are you bringing back so many things?”

Shen Qingyi saw and helped pick things up from her.

“Don’t blame me ah.” Mu Xiaoya pointed to two of the

most simple and crude plastic bags and said, “These two bags were
brought back by me. The rest were all prepared by my mother-in-
law for the Mu in-laws.”

“This …” Shen Qingyi and her husband glanced at each

other and frowned, “Then how can we take it all? Our family haven’t
given your husband’s family any gifts, so it’s inappropriate to accept
these.”

“Yes ah.” Mu Ruozhou looked at the gift bags that the three had

www.asianovel.com
 279 Report
just finished unloading and couldn’t help but add, “Our family
and the Bai family have a disparity in economic strength. Although
we don’t want to do anything, but these things received by the Bai
family isn’t good to accept either.”

With the Bai family’s economic strength, such things weren’t

much to them, but for the Mu family, every gift received was too
expensive. The Mu family didn’t want to accept too many expensive
gifts because it makes them feel pressured.

“I say, you two think too much.” Mu Xiaoya knew her parents
best, they were proud, virtuous and extremely cherished their
reputation. They were a little thoughtless when it came to social
relationships, but in fact, this kind of reason was flimsy and
overcome. “I’m already married into the family. You can choose what
to do with them, I am already living over there.”

“This …” When the Mu family’s elders heard this, they suddenly

felt if they didn’t accept the gifts, it would be inappropriate.

“Otherwise, you can tell my mother-in-law yourself.”

Mu Xiaoya said and moved to make a phone call.

“Well, Xiaoya is right. We are all in-laws and it has nothing to do

with social relationships so long as we have a clear conscience in our
hearts.” Mu Ruozhou promptly stopped his daughter from making
that phone call.

“That’s right. When I go back, I’ll return with some gifts.”

“We received so many things, what will be the right thing for us
to gift back?” Shen Qingyi frowned.

“I think the jar of chopped peppers in our refrigerator is good. I’ll

take them back later in the evening.” Shen Qingyi is from the
Sichuan Province, and likes to eat chili, and even likes to personally
cook them. She has a habit of making and chopping chilies at home

www.asianovel.com
 280 Report
every once in a while. So, in the Mu family’s refrigerator, there were
chopped chilies made by Shen Qingyi all year round.

“How much can that thing be worth?” Shen Qingyi wasn’t fond
of this idea.

“But the Bai family doesn’t have it ah. I want to eat it as your
daughter, but still can’t.”

“Xing xing xing,3It means walking constantly, but I think she’s

jokingly saying I’m going, I’m going to be playful I’ll prepare a few
more jars this evening.”

Joking around, the four went into the house with the gifts.

As soon as Mu Xiaoya entered the living room, she tossed the

gifts on the coffee table, then collapsed on the sofa.

“Look at you, being so lazy. I hope you’re not like this at the Bai
family’s home.” Shen Qingyi barely glanced at her daughter’s
posture.

“Almost.” Mu Xiaoya slouched back and sighed with discomfort.

No matter where she went, the most comfortable she felt was in her
parents’ home.

“Xiao Chuan, is Xiaoya the same in your house?”

Shen Qingyi turned to ask her son-in-law because her son-in-law
wouldn’t lie.

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded. In his eyes, Mu Xiaoya is Mu Xiaoya,

which is the same everywhere.

When she saw Bai Chuan nod, Mu Xiaoya suddenly began to

reflect on her behavior in the Bai family’s home. In front of others,
she was definitely not like this. Did he mean in their bedroom?

“Looks like, if anything, I have to carefully say some words to

www.asianovel.com
 281 Report
you today.” Shen Qingyi said, but she was reluctant. Then after those
words, she went to the kitchen to cook her daughter’s favorite
dishes.

Bai Chuan was pulled by his father-in-law to solve some math

problems while his mother-in-law prepared lunch in the
kitchen. Mu Xiaoya, who has nothing to do, made a nest in the living
room and used her cellphone to cast onto the TV screen in the living
room to watch a movie. When the movie was almost finished,
Mu Xiaoya’s cellphone suddenly rang. She glanced at it, then ran out
of the living room. Shortly after, a few workers in overalls were
brought in.

Suddenly it was noisy, and the Mu family’s elders were

startled, they separately leaned out from the study and
kitchen. Bai Chuan completed the math problems in his hand, and
slowly walked out from behind his father-in-law.

“What is this?” Mu Ruozhou looked at the three extra

workers who were suddenly in the living room.

“Put it here, yes. Right there.” Mu Xiaoya pointed to the open

space next to the sofa as the spot for people to put things down at,
then turned to answer her father’s question, “Massage chair.”

The workers moved quickly and placed the massaged chair

down. They quickly unpacked it, debugged it to ensure that there
were no issues, then asked Mu Xiaoya to sign for it.

“You have up to one month to return it and up to three months

to get it replaced. If you have any questions, please call us at any
time,” the worker said.

“Okay, thank you.”

After Mu Xiaoya finished signing, the workers cleaned up the

trash and quickly left the Mu family’s house.

www.asianovel.com
 282 Report
“Xiaoya, what’s with this massage chair?” Shen Qingyi was still
holding a green onion in her hand and stood beside the massage
chair when she asked her daughter.

Mu Xiaoya winked at Bai Chuan who was standing next to his

father-in-law.

However, Bai Chuan’s reaction to Mu Xiaoya was a blank face.

“…” It’s over, yesterday I explained to Bai Chuan.

“What are you doing, why are you looking at Xiao Chuan?”
Mu Ruozhou couldn’t help but glance at his daughter’s line of
sight with narrowed eyes and a frown.

Wink?

When Bai Chuan thought of that keyword and his memory was
instantly revived. He thought of what Mu Xiaoya told him last night.

“Xiao Chuan, I used your salary card to buy a massage chair for
my parents, but this massage chair is a little expensive.4Bro, wasn’t
this like a super super like less than 1% cost of what was on that
salary card? LOL My parents will definitely scold me for spending
money recklessly. So tomorrow, say that you bought it for them,
okay?”

“Okay.”

“I’ll wink at you then. ”

“En.” Bai Chuan agreed without hesitation. However, he didn’t

understand the meaning of the wink until his father-in-law “winked”
at him.5The father-in-law didn’t actually winked at him, but narrowed
his eyes and probably blinked and caused BC to remember the
“wink”.

“I bought it.” Although Xiaoya didn’t “wink” at him correctly,

www.asianovel.com
 283 Report
Bai Chuan perfectly cooperated with her.

With a loose look, Mu Xiaoya quietly gave a thumbs up

to Xiao Chuan.

“You bought it?” The Mu family’s elders were startled. “Why

did you buy a massage chair?”

“My salary, I bought it for you.” Xiaoya only asked him to say
that he bought it. As for why, she didn’t tell him, so Bai Chuan can
only say that.

However, even if Bai Chuan didn’t say, the Mu family’s

elders automatically made up a reason on his behalf. In a short while,
they soon deduced a suitable reason for him.

“Did Xiao Chuan buy this to show filial respect?”

Shen Qingyi looked at her husband with joy. They didn’t expect that
they could enjoy their son-in-law’s filial piety so quickly?

“Your salary?” What surprised Mu Ruozhou even more was

that Bai Chuan was able to earn his own salary.

“Mine.” Bai Chuan nodded.

The two knew that the gift was most likely bought by their
daughter, but the money was from Bai Chuan’s salary, which made
the meaning totally different. Thinking about it this way, the two
people looked at that brand-new massage chair and immediately felt
that everything was good.

“Dad, Mom, this massage chair is good for massages on

the cervical spine. Please try it quickly.” Mu Xiaoya pushed
her mother who was the nearest and pressed the person onto the
massage chair. The Mu family’s elders were teachers, so they
prepared lessons or grade papers all day long. Their spines weren’t
good, that’s why Mu Xiaoya bought this massage chair.

www.asianovel.com
 284 Report
The massage chair was already
debugged. Mu Xiaoya selected the mode and clicked the start
button.

The two took turns on the massage chair for half an hour. They
didn’t think the massage chair would be really effective. Anyway,
they were both comfortable while the sun shone on their faces.
Shen Qingyi couldn’t help but make more dishes for lunch.

After lunch, Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan went next door because
Bai Chuan said he wanted to find some books.

Although the courtyard next door has been unoccupied for some
time, the Bai family has it cleaned regularly. The green plants in the
garden have been carefully trimmed, so it didn’t look messy.

Entering the living room, Mu Xiaoya was in a trance for a

moment.

In her memory, she hasn’t been here for many years, but the
furnishings haven’t changed at all. The sofa was still floral print, the
curtains were still milky white and even the tea set on the coffee
table were the same.

Mu Xiaoya picked up one of the teacups and saw a small gap on

the blue and white porcelain cup at a glance. It wasn’t big, but it was
a bit abrupt.

Looking at this gap, Mu Xiaoya felt inexplicably

familiar with it. “The shape of this gap is pretty, it’s heart-shaped.”

Bai Chuan glanced at it and remembered something again, and

his eyes flashed a smile.

“Wasn’t this missing a long time ago?” She hadn’t been to

Grandma Bai’s house for a long time, but she felt familiarity towards
this gap, it would probably be a long time before she recalls it.

 285 Report
“Eight years, three months, and five days.”

“… Remember so clearly ah.” Although she knew

that Bai Chuan’s memory was good, but every time she heard such
an accurate detail, Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s been so
long, why wasn’t it change?”

“This gap is heart-shaped. If you drink water with this cup, every
sip will lie in your heart, and the water will taste better. If you drink it
enough, you will find happiness.” Bai Chuan gently looked at
Mu Xiaoya.

Mu Xiaoya looked back at Bai Chuan dumbly.

This kind of silly sweet line would only appear in shoujo comics.
This wouldn’t have been said by Bai Chuan, nor by the wise elderly
Grandma Bai, so counting them, Mu Xiaoya begin to doubt herself.

“I said that?”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded.

“When I was in high school, I seemed to be fascinated

by shoujo comics.” Mu Xiaoya scratched her chin awkwardly, and
also guessed another possibility, “This gap, I made it.”

“En.” With that, Bai Chuan pointed to a place at the corner of

the table.

Mu Xiaoya understood, Bai Chuan meant that she used the

corner of the table to bang the teacup against to make that gap.

Mu Xiaoya looked at the cup and imagined the situation when

she seriously duped Bai Chuan, thinking about that scene made her
feel it was somewhat funny.

“I lied to you then.” Mu Xiaoya said with a smile.

www.asianovel.com
 286 Report
“No.” Bai Chuan shook his head. “Drink too much and you can
really obtain happiness.”

“Happiness? Do you know what happiness is?”

“Know, happiness is being with Xiaoya.” Mu Xiaoya asked

casually, but Bai Chuan replied very seriously.

This answer was akin to a sharp blade and cut

Mu Xiaoya’s heart which caused it to burst with pain.

“You’ve been drinking water with this cup ah.”

“En.”

Suddenly her nose started to sour, and Mu Xiaoya’s eyes turned

red. She believed that many people have said or heard a lot of casual
words or deliberately fool others when they were young. Some won’t
believe it; others will believe it. Even if they believe it, it would only
be temporary because innocence will fade, maturity and reasoning
will allow them to distinguish between truth and falsehood. But
Bai Chuan was different, in his world, as long as he believes in
something, he will believe it for a lifetime.

For more than eight years, Bai Chuan remembered her casually
saying a few words, but she forgot about it, or rather the events
didn’t leave any impression on her at all.

“Sorry, I forgot.”

“It doesn’t matter, you have bad memory.” Grandma said that
his memory is a gift from heaven, not everyone has it, so it didn’t
matter that Xiaoya forget, he remembers.

Originally, Mu Xiaoya was crying because she was guilty. As a

result, when Bai Chuan suddenly uttered that sentence of no
complaints, she couldn’t help but smile: “Yes, I have bad memory.
But this time, I definitely won’t forget.”

www.asianovel.com
 287 Report
Mu Xiaoya turned around and wiped her tears with the back of
her hand.

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll remember.”

“Xiao Chuan, I’ll remember.” Mu Xiaoya turned around and

directly stared at Bai Chuan, and firmly said.

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded, as if he saw the girl who always did
math problems incorrectly again.

“Ah ah, why did I do it wrong again?” Mu Xiaoya in a school

uniform rubbed her hair frantically, “Xiao Chuan, teach me again. I
promise, I’ll remember this time.”

“En.” The youthful Bai Chuan skillfully raised his pen and began
to explain the use of the same formula for the fifth time.

In fact, Bai Chuan had a secret that he never told others. He

secretly hoped that Mu Xiaoya would never remember the formula,
so that she would come look for him after school every
day.6Remember, she never asks her parents for help cause her dad
always calls her stupid and scolds her lol.

“Go, let’s go to the library to find books.”

Although it was the same type of residential house, the Bai

family’s study was much larger than the Mu family. Because the Bai
family only had two people living in it, Bai Chuan and Grandma Bai,
Grandma Bai had opened up all the bedrooms on the first floor and
built a small library for Bai Chuan.7Basically she ripped down all the
walls for the bedrooms to make one big room… All the books that
Bai Chuan read and wants to read have been collected and stored in
there.

Every time Mu Xiaoya enters this study, she was deeply

shocked. There were bookshelves that lined the walls in
uniform rows, and they were all densely packed with books.

www.asianovel.com
 288 Report
Grandma Bai even equipped a mobile staircase beside the
bookshelves which made it convenient for Bai Chuan to climb up and
down. There was a small desk in the middle of the study, surrounded
by a sea of books. It seems that as long as you sit there, even if you
were illiterate, you could immediately learn more knowledge from
ancient and modern times.

“What book are you looking for? I’ll help you find it.” The
number of books were far too many to count. It was a waste of time
for them to find it. Mu Xiaoya just looked at several rows of
bookshelves and found that the books didn’t seem to follow any
organization rules. In this situation, it will be a waste of time to find
it.

“I found it.”

Mu Xiaoya turned around, and she saw that Bai Chuan was
holding a book with a green cover.

“You found it so soon?” So lucky?

“I remember them all.”

“You mean, you remember where the books are located at?”
Mu Xiaoya was shocked.

“En.”

Mu Xiaoya thought it was fun, so she couldn’t help it and said,

“Then, help me find a book.”

“Okay.”

“Have I put any books here before?” Before high school,

Mu Xiaoya was obsessed with comics. As soon as the holidays arrive,
she will go over to Bai Chuan in the guise of learning. As soon as her
parents entered, she would put it on the bookshelf casually so that
nobody would find it. Although she wasn’t sure, she thought maybe

www.asianovel.com
 289 Report
she had left one or two comic books here.

“Pure School Grass,”8The title means that the most handsome

boy in school – school grass is pure and innocent…lol so title is about
ML. Bai Chuan replied.

“What?”

“Pure School Grass.” Bai Chuan repeated it in exactly the

same tone.

“Shoujo comics?” Mu Xiaoya vaguely remembered, it seemed to

be a comic book she was particularly fascinated with in junior high
school.

“En.”

“This comic, you have it here, where?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“The east shelf, the sixth row from bottom to top, and the 128th
to 136th books from left to right.” Without waiting for Mu Xiaoya to
finish her words, Bai Chuan clearly stated the specific location.

“There are nine volumes ah.” Mu Xiaoya started looking

for the books according to Bai Chuan’s instructions. “East, one two
three four five six, this row, from left to right … Ah, found it.”

Comic books were always smaller than ordinary books,

so she quickly found it after locating the row. Mu Xiaoya located the
entire series, “Pure School Grass”.

“The cover is so new and well-preserved.” Mu Xiaoya flipped

through a few pages casually, then found the manga characters
inside were gorgeous and gave people goosebumps. The
protagonist’s eyes were actually diamonds and they were light blue.
When she smiled, there were gorgeous rose petals in the
background. Really, what a special effect, Mary Sue, how could I like
this kind of thing before?

www.asianovel.com
 290 Report
Thinking of it like this, in fact, sometimes people were strange.
They once like something, but one day, they will find it’s boring.

“Are you looking for another book?” Mu Xiaoya shook the

goosebumps from her body and put the comic back.

Bai Chuan shook his head.

“Well, let’s go.”

When they arrived, they went straight to the direction of

the study . When they left, they walked towards the door, which was
in the opposite direction from before. This caused Mu Xiaoya to see a
portrait on the living room wall at a glance.

It was a portrait of Grandma Bai. In the portrait, Grandma Bai

was dressed in a dark cheongsam, had her hair in a neat bun, with
pearls on her ears and her hands folded onto each other. She sat
gracefully on a mahogany chair and looked at everything in front of
her with adoring eyes.

“I painted it.” Bai Chuan followed Mu Xiaoya’s line of sight and

saw the oil painting as well. He painted it for grandma, and she liked
it very much. She hung it on the stairway so she could see it every
time she went up or down the stairs.

“You did it?” It’s no wonder that Grandma Bai had such a loving
look in her eyes, she was looking at Bai Chuan.

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded. “The third day after I painted

it, grandma was hospitalized.”

Mu Xiaoya was stunned for a while and felt distressed. In

fact, his memory is too good and sometimes it wasn’t necessarily a
good thing.

“Do you miss her?” Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but ask.

www.asianovel.com
 291 Report
“I think.” Bai Chuan nodded.

Yes ah, how can Bai Chuan not think? Bai Chuan’s memory is so
good, that there were very few people in his world to remember. If
he wants to forget, he couldn’t.

Suddenly, her body was squeezed into a familiar embrace.

Mu Xiaoya looked up in surprise and found that it

was Bai Chuan. She didn’t know when he put the book down. At this
time, he embraced her gently: “Don’t be sad.”

Sad? Didn’t you feel sad just now?

No, she was obviously afraid that Bai Chuan was sad, how could
she be sad.

“Xiao Chuan, do you still feel sad when you think of grandma?”
Mu Xiaoya asked dully.

“No.” Bai Chuan shook his head, “Grandma said, everyone’s life
has a time limit. She had hers and I have mine. Grandma’s time limit
was up, so she left. I was reluctant but not sad.

“Grandma was right.”

Maybe only autistic patients like Bai Chuan can be calm and
rationally face the departure of loved ones.

However, this is actually quite good. When the time comes and
she leaves, he could do the same?9Did anyone else forgot that she
died from her genetic disease in her last life? LOL cinnamon roll is
going to suffer! This time he won’t just be reluctant, but sad.

Go Back to Work and Support a Wife

They lingered in Grandma Bai’s yard for a long time and didn’t
return home until it was almost supper.

Shen Qingyi has already prepared a table of dishes, all of which

were Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan’s favorite dishes to eat.

“Dad, mom, what kind of food do you like to eat ah?”

Mu Xiaoya ate her favorite dishes for a while and suddenly noticed a
problem. She has lived with her parents all her life, and she has
never noticed what they like to eat.

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?” Shen Qingyi asked
strangely.

“I just want to know, because since I was a child, you made me

my favorite dishes. I don’t know what you like to eat.”

“It’s different after marriage. Finally know how to love

your parents.” Shen Qingyi’s face was happy.

“Mom ~~” Mu Xiaoya coquettishly begged for mercy, but her

heart was full of guilt. What can she do for her parents, even if it was
a little…

“Stir-fried pork with chili and braised pork ribs.”

Bai Chuan suddenly made a noise.

www.asianovel.com
 293 Report
Bai Chuan suddenly named these two dishes and the three
members of the Mu family was instantly stunned. Mu Ruozhou asked
curiously: “How do you know that I like to eat braised pork ribs?”

“And stir-fried pork with chili, how did you know I like to eat it?
“Shen Qingyi also asked.

Mu Xiaoya stared at her parents dumbfounded: Did they mean

that Bai Chuan was right?

“I remember.” Bai Chuan replied.

“Remember?” Shen Qingyi and her husband looked at each

other, “Did we mention this in front of Bai Chuan before?”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded.

“…Look at you.” Shen Qingyi suddenly began to despise her

daughter, “Bai Chuan came to our house a few times and remember
what we like to eat. You have lived in our house for more than 20
years. Besides growing meat, what else have you done?”

“How can it be the same? In terms of memory, how can

Xiao Chuan and I be on the same level?” Mu Xiaoya said that
aggrieved.

“I’ll help her remember.” Bai Chuan saw his wife was criticized
for not remembering what her father and mother liked to eat. He
quickly expressed his willingness to help her remember. If he
remembers, they will never forget.

“Okay, give Xiao Chuan some face, let’s not talk about it
anymore.” Shen Qingyi responded with a smile, letting her
daughter off the hook.

Because Mu Xiaoya came early today, Shen Qingyi began to

load her daughter with things to bring back to her in-law’s house
after dinner.

www.asianovel.com
 294 Report
“It’s still early.” Mu Xiaoya was reluctant to leave.

“What’s early? It will take an hour to drive back.”

Shen Qingyi motioned to her husband to hand over the prepared
chopped peppers to their daughter.

“Here take it, this was made by your mom last month. This
batch of peppers is especially spicy. Please remind your family when
you eat them.” She reminded her daughter to send the gift in return.
Finally, she smiled at Mu Xiaoya and they both thought for a while. It
seems that they couldn’t give anything good and settle for things
they made themselves. In any case, they couldn’t compete with the
Bai family in terms of financial resources.

“We are all in the same city. If you want to come back, please
come back to see us at any time.” Shen Qingyi said.

“I want to see you every day.” Mu Xiaoya said reluctantly.

“Then why were you in a hurry to married? If you didn’t get

married, you could stay at home this entire time.” Mu Ruozhou said
and looked at his daughter. He suddenly felt tired and bent. He
doesn’t feel angry, but yes, he blames his daughter for marrying
someone too early.

“No!” As soon as Bai Chuan heard his father-in-law was

against Xiaoya’s marriage, he immediately was worried and
protected Mu Xiaoya behind him.

“…” As soon as Mu Ruozhou saw Bai Chuan’s defensive

posture, he couldn’t laugh or cry. This kid doesn’t understand that
I’m just joking ah.

“Okay, won’t steal from you. Take Xiaoya away.”

Shen Qingyi said with a smile.

The two left.

 295 Report
The Mu family’s elders watched the car leave, then went back
into the house. Although they were reluctant, their faces were
relieved and gratified. This time, they discovered that
Bai Chuan wasn’t only able to earn money through working, but even
knew how to protect and love Xiaoya. Wasn’t this their requirements
for their future son-in-law?

Therefore, Bai Chuan fared better than they thought,

and Xiaoya also lived better than they thought.

On the way back, Mu Xiaoya began to

praise Bai Chuan’s performance today: “You performed very well
today. My parents obviously like you more.”

“Is it because of the massage chair that was purchased with my

salary card?” Bai Chuan asked.

“Hic…” Why do you ask something so realistic? “That’s part of

the reason, but there’s more, you remember what my parents like to
eat, which is also very good.”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded inexplicably.

“By the way …” One thing Mu Xiaoya kept forgetting to ask,

“Xiao Chuan, how much do you earn every month ah?”

“500,000 yuan and a bonus at the end of the

year.” Bai Chuan replied, he didn’t know how to calculate the bonus
at the end of the year, so he didn’t say a specific figure.

“500,000?! That’s 6 million in annual salary16mil yuan is $845k

in USD plus the end of the year bonus … Then you have worked for
more than three years?”

“Three years, six months and seven days.”

Mu Xiaoya subconsciously began to calculate the wages, but

after a while she gave up. In short, she was sure that

www.asianovel.com
 296 Report
Bai Chuans salary card hasn’t be used in those three years. The first
expense was probably from today’s massage chair.

“What do you do in the company? Why is the salary so high?”

Mu Xiaoya asked.

“Main responsibility is programming…” Bai Chuan uttered a

series of professional terms one after another. Hearing this,
Mu Xiaoya became confused. At last, she could only persuade him
that she knows.

Forget it, she didn’t want to enter the scholarly god’s world.

However, when it comes to work, she seems to have

promised Bai Zheng to let Bai Chuan return to work.

“Xiao Chuan, why don’t I see you going to work?”

Mu Xiaoya asked in surprise.

“Accompany you.”

“…But I also need to go to work during the day ah, so you can’t
accompany me.”

“Waiting for you.”

“…”

Mu Xiaoya was touched, but at the same time felt some

pressure. She knows that she is a very important existence
for Bai Chuan, but when a person’s entire life revolves only around
you, the people around him will feel infinite pressure, especially
Mu Xiaoya. If Bai Chuan sacrifices working and life just to wait for her
and accompany her, then she will feel that when she goes out to
work, it was akin to a betrayal.

Even if she doesn’t have much time left, she can’t let
Bai Chuan live like this. She wanted him to be healthy and

www.asianovel.com
 297 Report
get along well with others.

After crossing the intersection, Mu Xiaoya pulled over and

stopped the car. She turned around and looked at Bai Chuan. She
was very calm and seriously asked: “Xiao Chuan, do you like to
work?”

Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya who spoke and listened, but

Mu Xiaoya added: “Don’t compare it with my work.”

“…Like.” Bai Chuan nodded after a while.

He likes his current job very much. This job

can produce amazing things through simple coding. And every once
in a while, there will be a new project that is very complicated that
will appear at work. It needs him to unravel it little by little. He likes
the process of decryption very much.

“Will you go back to work next week?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“You want me to work?” Bai Chuan asked, with

incomprehension in his eyes. This made Mu Xiaoya feel bad, as long
as she answered yes, she denied Bai Chuan’s desire to
accompany and wait for her like he does now.

“Xiao Chuan, do you know what the husband does after

marriage?” Mu Xiaoya didn’t answer Bai Chuan’s question directly,
she decided to persuade him with an acceptable reason.

Bai Chuan shook his head blankly. He only knew that when he
got married, he could always be with Mu Xiaoya.

“After marriage, the husband earns money to support his

family. If you don’t work, how can you support your family and
me ah?” Mu Xiaoya pretended to be distressed.

“I’ll take care of it. I’ll go to work on

Monday.” Bai Chuan immediately promised that he would support his

www.asianovel.com
 298 Report
family and Xiaoya.

Anxious to show that Bai Chuan was too cute, Mu Xiaoya didn’t
hold back and kissed Bai Chuan’s cheek before restarting the car to
leave.

Bai Chuan covered his face and his eyes reflected the city’s
neon lights, which glittered colorfully, and he finally revealed a
shallow smile.

It was already eight o’clock when the two returned home. As

soon as the car was parked, Uncle Li greeted them.

“Second young master, second young lady. I’ve hung up the

puzzle for you.”

“Thank you Uncle Li.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“Second young lady is very polite. By the way, there are frozen
watermelons in the kitchen. Second young lady, second young
master would you like some?”

“No, thank you.” Mu Xiaoya shook her head, then gave Uncle Li
the chopped peppers she had brought from home. “This is chopped
peppers that my mom personally made.”

“If it’s made by her, it must be delicious. Tomorrow’s dinner

happened to be chopped chili fish, so this is just right.” Uncle Li
said.

“…” She didn’t know that dinner was planned every day.

The two went to the living room together. As soon as they

entered the house, Mu Xiaoya smelled a refreshing watermelon
fragrance.

It seems that today’s fruit after dinner was watermelon. No

wonder Uncle Li asked them if they wanted to eat watermelon.

www.asianovel.com
 299 Report
The Bai family were all downstairs, and Mu Xiaoya naturally
wanted to say hello. The two walked into the living room following
the watermelon scent. They saw the three members of the Bai
family sitting on the sofa with half a watermelon in their arms.

“…” What’s wrong with this strange picture?

Was it strange to eat watermelon? Eating watermelon is

certainly not strange.

Was it strange to hold half a watermelon and eating it with a

spoon?

There was nothing wrong with eating watermelon, and there

was nothing wrong with this bold and unconstrained way of eating
watermelon. But in the high-end villa, in the luxurious living room, int
front of three people who wore exquisite clothes, wasn’t it reasonable
to cut the watermelon into smaller pieces, then poke it with a small
fork?

“Xiao Chuan, Xiaoya, you’re back?” Li Rong greeted the two

with a white porcelain spoon in her hand.

“Dad, Mom, Brother, how’s the watermelon?” Mu Xiaoya calmed

down after a while.

“Yeah ah, yeah ah, we have never eaten watermelon like this
before. I didn’t expect that it would be so enjoyable to dig and eat it
directly with a spoon.”

“Ha ha ha… it’s quite enjoyable.” Mu Xiaoya didn’t know what

to say and could only go along with it.

“It’s all thanks to the inspiration you and Xiao Chuan brought
us.” Li Rong said excitedly.

“We?” Mu Xiaoya was dumbfounded, she just returned from her

maiden home and didn’t do anything ah.

www.asianovel.com

“As soon as I saw the puzzle in your room, I like it. I couldn’t
help but want to eat the watermelon like you.” During the day, Uncle
Li helped hang the puzzle and Li Rong followed him to have a look.
When she saw the two people’s interaction in the puzzle, she liked it.
So, she grabbed her husband and eldest son at dinner and forced
them to eat watermelon together like in the puzzle.

Mu Xiaoya looked at the other two people. One was

embarrassed and the other looked down and didn’t say anything; he
didn’t stop eating the watermelon in his hand.

“Then… then you just continue to eat. We will go up and change

clothes first.” Mu Xiaoya didn’t feel that it was suitable to continue
staying here and was ready to slip away.

“Wait a minute, can you take a picture for us, I would like to
make a puzzle later and ask Xiao Chuan to help us.” Li Rong said.

Still taking pictures!

The Bai family’s father and son were eating the watermelon in
their hands and paused.

“OK.” Mu Xiaoya took out her cellphone.

“You two come here ah. Let’s take a picture together.” Li Rong
turned her head to tell the two men who were sulking and
eating watermelons.

The men who ate the watermelon glanced at each other silently.
It wasn’t known what kind of mental journey they had gone through.
Finally, they sat down with the watermelon on her left and right, then
they all looked at the camera.

After taking the picture, Mu Xiaoya gave the photo to Li Rong

via WeChat, then ran away with a smile to the room on the second
floor to reveal her unbridled smile.

Ai yo~~~ Bai Chuan followed his wife, she was so
cute, hahaha…

Downstairs, after the Bai family took the picture, the father and
son immediately separated from each other and sat back in their own
position, intending to finish eating the watermelon in their hands as
soon as possible to get out of this embarrassing predicament. But
they didn’t expect that their watermelons weren’t completely
consume yet when that photo had spread all over the rich circle of
Yuncheng City.

Some people even secretly sent a direct message on WeChat to

ask Bai Zheng: “Does the Bai family plan to go into the fruit
business ah. How come it’s been cherries and
watermelons recently?”

Bai Zheng: “…”

Mu Xiaoya finally eased up a little, turned around and saw her

mother-in-law’s circle of friends’ notification, then immediately
smiled and put it away.

After taking a bath and changing into their pajamas, the two sat
cross-legged at the end of the bed and looked up to admire
the puzzle hanging on the wall.

“Xiao Chuan, are you still uncomfortable?” Although the puzzle

was hung up, Mu Xiaoya knew that there were still nails behind the
puzzle.

“No.” Bai Chuan looked at the puzzle and shook his head
gently.

Mu Xiaoya suddenly felt relief and had the mood to appreciate

this puzzle carefully. After looking at it for a while, Mu Xiaoya had to
admit that Liang Nuonuo’s photo-taking ability was good as the
composition and lighting were almost perfect. Even with her

www.asianovel.com
 302 Report
academic studies in design, she couldn’t pick out any disharmony.

Also, Mu Xiaoya likes the mood in the photo. On that day, she
and Bai Chuan were helping Liang Nuonuo pick cherries, so they
dressed casually. Simple long-sleeved shirts, the pants and sleeves
were tied up and their hair was messy after a day of labor. She and
Bai Chuan sat shoulder to shoulder, with sweat on their faces,
watermelon in their hands, smiling from the bottom of their eyes. The
sunshine was behind them and a basket of freshly picked cherries in
the corner. The whole picture was full of life, quiet and beautiful.

“I like this photo.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“I like it too.” Bai Chuan didn’t know how to evaluate it,

but when he looks at this puzzle, he had a very nice feeling.

Early the next morning, Bai Chuan got up on time to run, and
met his elder brother at the entrance as usual.

Today, Bai Chuan’s running distance should be 2900

meters. While running, Bai Zheng plans to run 1450 meters with
Bai Chuan today, then let Bai Chuan turn back to complete the rest
of his jog. He will continue to run forward to run his own 5 kilometer.
Otherwise, this amount of exercise every day wouldn’t be enough.

After running for a while, at the familiar traffic light intersection,

Bai Zheng knew that he was about to run back for the
remaining distance. Just thinking about it, Bai Chuan suddenly turned
around.

That is, to turn back.

Bai Zheng didn’t stop. He took an alternate path and continued

to run forward. After running about seven or eight meters, he was
still a little uneasy, so he glanced back and suddenly stopped.

Because, Bai Chuan actually stopped in place and didn’t move.

www.asianovel.com
 303 Report
Bai Zheng was a little puzzled and hurried back. When he was
about to ask Bai Chuan why he didn’t go back, he heard
Bai Chuan said, “You have to run.”

“…” Run, whose run, it’s your task to run 2900 meters, not
mine. I have to run 5 kilometers every day. But… to his brother’s
solemn expression, how could Bai Zheng say that. What’s more, this
is the first time his brother showed concern for him, although it
wasn’t right.2Basically all the other mornings, they always returned
together, so for some reason BC thinks that BZ has to obey the same
goals as him.

With a sigh, Bai Zheng took the initiative to admit his “mistake”:
“I miscalculated the distance.”

Seeing that Bai Zheng realized his mistake in

time, Bai Chuan didn’t speak anymore, instead he turned around and
continued to run back the same way.

Bai Zheng followed him with a complicated look, pondering for a

while about going to a gym to use the treadmill to make up the
remaining distance.

Running to the gate, the two stopped at the same time, and
the servant quickly handed them a towel for them to wipe their
sweat. Bai Zheng wiped the sweat on his neck. Suddenly, he felt that
someone was staring at him, so he looked over.

“I’m going to work.” Bai Chuan was waiting for Bai Zheng to
look at him. Seeing him look at him, he immediately finished what he
wanted to say, then left in big strides.

“…” If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. If you weren’t my
brother, you would have been fired a hundred times.

Humph!

Because Bai Chuan was going to come back to work tomorrow

after his vacation. After breakfast, Mu Xiaoya took Bai Chuan to the
supermarket in the city. She planned to buy some wedding candies
to give to Bai Chuan so he can share with his coworkers when he
returns to work tomorrow.

“How many people are there in your company?”

Mu Xiaoya asked.

Bai Chuan froze, and suddenly began to take out his cellphone.

“What are you doing with your cellphone?” Mu Xiaoya said

strangely. This was the first time Bai Chuan didn’t have an
immediate answer when she asked him about a number.

“I don’t know how many people there are in the company, so I

asked my elder brother.” Bai Chuan replied.

“……” Asking Bai Zheng was the equivalent to asking how

many employees there were in Yifeng Group ah. According to this
amount, if we buy that many wedding candies, how much
will it cost?

“Cough… not that … how many people are there in your

department? It’s the people who have regular contact with you at
work.”

“Fifteen.” Actually, there wasn’t 15 employees in the game R&D

department, but only 15 who can contact Bai Chuan.

“Fifteen, there’s not many.” Mu Xiaoya looked at the wedding

candy in front of her and decided to choose more expensive ones.
“Then we will buy twenty packets of wedding candy. You will give it
to them when you go into work tomorrow.”

“There’s only fifteen people, why buy twenty

packets?” Bai Chuan, who is extremely sensitive to numbers,

“Five extra packets will be given to anyone you like.”

“Oh.”

After choosing the candy, Mu Xiaoya went to buy a pink

card, then took Bai Chuan home.

In a flash, it was Monday.

Today, she asked someone to come in for an interview in the

morning, so Mu Xiaoya left half an hour earlier than usual. Before she
left, she reminded Bai Chuan again to remember to take the wedding
candies to the company and give them to his coworkers.

Mu Xiaoya walked for about ten minutes when the car that
picked up Bai Chuan arrived.

Because Bai Zheng and Bai Guoyu didn’t go to the company this
morning and were going to a different location for a meeting, Bai
Zheng specially asked his secretary to pick up Bai Chuan to go to
work.

“Xiao Chuan.” The door opened, and Wang Jing who was
dressed professionally, walked down from the car with a smile on her
face. Wang Jing was Bai Zheng’s secretary. When Bai Chuan and
Grandma Bai lived together, Wang Jing almost always took
Bai Chuan to and from work.

When Bai Chuan saw her, he tightened his hand with the
wedding candy bag, then pursed his lips and stood still.

“Second young master, Secretary Wang has come to pick you

up for work.” Uncle Li opened the door for Bai Chuan. Bai Chuan used
to live in the villa occasionally, so Uncle Li also met Wang Jing several
times. He has a good impression of Wang Jing, because he if has a
problem, as long as second young master likes someone, Uncle Li
will naturally feel that person is a little more favorable. Moreover, this
was the Bai family’s infectious disease, which almost everyone has.

www.asianovel.com
 306 Report
“No,” Bai Chuan refused.

“No, why don’t you want to go suddenly? Didn’t you just

promise to second young lady this morning?” Uncle Li wondered.

“Xiao Chuan, we have to go to work. People in the R&D

department have heard that you are returning and are waiting to
welcome you.” Wang Jing also persuaded with a smile.

“Don’t call it,” Bai Chuan looked at Wang Jing and said stiffly,
“Don’t call me Xiao Chuan.”

Wang Jing’s face changed, but she forced her face to smile and
asked, “Xiao Chuan, did I do something wrong? If so, tell me, I
promise to change.”

“Don’t call.” Bai Chuan frowned angrily. How could this person
not understand? He said that she wasn’t allowed to call, but she still
called.

At this time, Bai Zheng walked out of the house and heard the
noise. He came over with a sullen face, and asked Wang Jing:
“What’s going on?

“President, I don’t know, Xiao Chuan…”

“Don’t call.” Bai Chuan’s roar this time was

obviously much louder than before, and quickly scared Wang Jing to
silence.

As soon as Bai Chuan’s mood fluctuated, no one else dared talk.

After a while of silence, Bai Zheng felt that Bai Chuan’s mood eased
a little, he asked Bai Chuan softly, “What’s wrong Xiao Chuan? Why
aren’t you going to work?”

“No, don’t let her send me. She’s not allowed to call me Xiao
Chuan.” Bai Chuan said and pointed at Wang Jing.

www.asianovel.com
 307 Report
Wang Jing’s face turned pale, and she looked at Bai Zheng in a
panic and explained, “President, I didn’t do anything. I don’t know
why… the second young master would say this.”

Bai Zheng glanced at Wang Jing. Instead of blaming her on the

spot, he waved and said, “You go back to the company first.”

“Yes.” Although Wang Jing was willing to explain, she didn’t

know where the problem was, so she could only sigh and drive away
anxiously.

When Wang Jing left, Bai Zheng asked Bai Chuan with a serious
look: “Did Wang Jing do something to you that wasn’t good?”

Bai Zheng’s eyes were heavy. At this time, as long as Bai Chuan
nodded, his anger would burst out from the bottom of his eyes, but
Bai Chuan responded with a blank expression.

“Why didn’t you let her take you to the company all of a
sudden?” Bai Zheng thought Bai Chuan didn’t understand, so he
reworded his question.

“Because Xiaoya doesn’t like it,” Bai Chuan replied.

Mu Xiaoya? Bai Zheng thought about it and immediately

recalled that when he was in the cemetery, he asked Wang Jing to
stay and send Bai Chuan and Mu Xiaoya back to the Mu family’s
home. It seems that Wang Jing did something to upset
Mu Xiaoya. So, Mu Xiaoya asked Bai Chuan not to have contact with
Wang Jing which caused today’s fuss?

“Is second young lady jealous?” Uncle Li guessed.

“…” Women were trouble.

No matter what the reason was, since Bai Chuan doesn’t like
Wang Jing, then Wang Jing won’t be allowed to appear in front of Bai
Chuan: “Uncle Li, let the family driver send Xiao Chuan to the

www.asianovel.com
 308 Report
company.”

“Okay.” Uncle Li immediately turned around to arrange the

driver.

“Wait, big brother will change the driver for you.” Bai Zheng
said to Bai Chuan.

“Thank you.”

Bai Zheng’s cold face instantly loosened, just for this thank
you, he was willing to change the driver ten times.

To Give Out Wedding Candies

Yifeng Group.

The security guard of the building saw a black commercial

vehicle approaching from afar. When the car got closer, he saw the
license plate, then the security guard ran over quickly and opened
the door to the back seat.

“Second Young Master, you have returned to work.” As a

qualified security guard, he memorized the license plate numbers of
all the senior leaders of the company, let alone the license plates of
the Chairman’s family.

Bai Chuan glanced at him, slowly exited from the car, then took
out a packet of wedding candy from the bag and handed it to the
security guard.

“For me?” The little security guard was a little sluggish. He has
been a security guard at the company for two years. Not to mention
that every day, at least four times a week, he helped Second Young
Master Bai open the car door and this is the first time that he spoke
to him.

“Wedding candy.” Xiaoya said that the extra five packets

of wedding candy can be given to people who were pleasing to the
eye. The security guard is very pleasing to the eye and often helps
him open the door.1Aww, so nice, he knows how to appreciate

www.asianovel.com
 310 Report
people!

“We… wedding candy?” The little security guard stammered in

shock. After a long time, he said congratulation, “Second Young
Master… new, happy newlywedded.”

Happy newlywedded?

After he got married, he was really happy. Bai Chuan liked

this blessing very much, and immediately felt that he didn’t give this
packet of wedding candy wrongly.

Standing next to the little security guard was a middle-aged

security guard. When he saw him, he quickly came to say
congratulation, hoping that he could also touch the boss’s son. Who
knew that Second Young Master Bai would just glance at him and
calmly leave?

“Why is the wedding candy just for you?” The middle-aged

security guard looked at the little security guard discontentedly.

“Second Young Master… Did he talk to me just now?” The little

security guard asked the other in a daze.

“Didn’t say, look at you, being a fool. I’ll take half the wedding
candy.” The middle-aged security guard snatched the wedding candy
from the little security guard’s hand and opened the bag. Between
the colorful candy paper, a pink note stood out. The middle-aged
security guard took it out and the little security guard leaned over to
look at it.

“Thank you for taking care of Bai Chuan.” A cartoon character in

the shape of a bride followed.

“This is written by the Second Young Lady?” The middle-aged

security guard asked the little security guard.

“I think so.” In the wedding candy, there was a note with a

www.asianovel.com
 311 Report
cartoon character of a bride. Except for the wife of the Second Young
Master, there could be no one else.

“It seems that Second Young Master married a good wife ah.”

When entering the lobby, there were people that greeted

Bai Chuan the entire way, but everyone was very careful to keep a
distance, so that the flow of people in the space around
Bai Chuan wasn’t too dense. This was a strict instruction issued by
the HR department of Yifeng Group before Bai Chuan arrived at the
company. All the employees of Yifeng Group knew that Bai Chuan is
autistic and doesn’t like close contact with people, so if they meet
Bai Chuan in the company, they need to keep as much distance as
possible.

All the way to the elevator room, Bai Chuan ignored everyone
and stood in front of the elevator, waiting.

When Bai Chuan stood there, the security department forced

the elevator to stop on the second floor and informed the employees
in the elevator through the elevator speaker: “You are all at the
second floor. Go down the stairs and free up the elevator for
the Second Young Master to use.”

The people in the elevator didn’t feel it was strange. They were
used getting off from the elevator on the second floor and walking
down the stairs. So, when the elevator arrived at the lobby on the
first floor for Bai Chuan, there wasn’t even a single paper in the
elevator.

The employees of Yifeng Group were also accustomed to this

scene. As soon as Bai Chuan enters the elevator, they naturally
scattered at the door of each elevator.

In fact, at the beginning, Bai Zheng had considered getting a

special elevator for Bai Chuan, but taking into consideration that
Bai Chuan only uses the elevators twice a day, the total time was

www.asianovel.com
 312 Report
less than five minutes, so it was a bit exaggerated to dedicate an
elevator for this. So, he asked the security department to cooperate
as much as possible when Bai Chuan took the elevator.

This incident, the Yifeng Group deliberately didn’t notify the

entire company, but the employees of the company were all elites.
After several incidents, they also mastered the law. Generally, when
they see Bai Chuan standing at the elevator door, they automatically
distance themselves. Of course, there were some new employees
who didn’t know about the rules and accidentally took an elevator
with Bai Chuan, but in this situation, the number of people in the
elevator was small and there wasn’t a crowd, so Bai Chuan wasn’t
uncomfortable and he didn’t have a reaction.

For the sake of this unwritten rule, Yifeng Group specially added
an extra benefit to its employees: three minutes late isn’t counted as
being late. In other words, Yifeng Group gave everyone in the
company three minutes so Bai Chuan can use the elevator.

The people in the game R&D department have long been

informed that Bai Chuan was returning to work today. If it was an
ordinary person who returned to work after taking such a long
vacation, the company’s colleagues will symbolically welcome them
back and organize a ceremony. However, Bai Chuan wasn’t an
ordinary person. The programmers in the R & D department treated
Bai Chuan as their idol, even if they were mentally dying, they didn’t
dare run over to express their earnest feelings. If they expressed
themselves and Bai Chuan had an issue, the President will chop them
with a knife.

So, they can only do their own things step by step, as if

everything was usual. But…2So, basically, since BC is special, there
is no welcoming party or anyone to greet him and everyone gotta act
like it’s a normal day and not disturb him or the President will kill
them

A’Tong Mu: Whether our new AR game is released as scheduled,

Xing Xing: Have you sorted out the questions and sent them to

Juebu Tutou:8the translation is not bald It’s all done, it will be

There was no other way. Their Second Young Master usually

doesn’t talk to people or read emails, so if they have
any questions they wanted to ask the Second Young Master, they can

www.asianovel.com
 314 Report
only use a special software that allows their messages to be
display on Bai Chuan’s computer screen.9This is a common thing to
do in the tech industry, not sure why it’s special here…

Speaking of which, the R&D department once had a painful

lesson. When Bai Chuan first came to the R&D department, he
ignored everyone. They had a technical problem that couldn’t be
solved. They communicated with Bai Chuan, but Bai Chuan ignored
them. Without a solution, one of the programmers came up with the
“bad idea” to hack the problem directly into Bai Chuan’s computer.
Thinking that Bai Chuan would look at his computer every day, he
would see the problem at that time. Who knew that when the
connection between computers happened that it was
counterattacked by the firewall Bai Chuan set, not only did it failed to
invade successfully, but also destroyed all the data on
that computer.

It was a terrible loss. At that time, the programmer was about to

cry. In the end, Bai Zheng, the President, came to talk to the Second
Young Master for a long time, then the Second Young Master raised
his expensive hand to restore it.10THIS MAN IS WORTH 6MIL YUAN
ANNUALLY AT MIN! And they also agreed to install a small program
on his computer to automatically open new mail, which was the basic
solution to the communication issue.

“Ka-cha~~”

Bai Chuan pushed open the door of the office and walked in. Just
when everyone quietly looked at Bai Chuan and thought he was
going to his office, they instead watched Bai Chuan, who had just
entered the door, turn around and stop in Juebu Tutou’s office.

“Second… Second Young Master?” Juebu Tutou’s real name is

Yu Qian.11his name means excess money. Must be nice. When he
saw Bai Chuan standing in front of him as soon as he entered the
door, he couldn’t help but feel guilty. Did he already sort through all
the information that he sent to Second Young Master’s email box?

www.asianovel.com
 315 Report
How did Second Young Master know so quickly?

Bai Chuan didn’t say anything, he just took out a

packet of wedding candy and gave it to him.

Yu Qian looked at the package, which was particularly festive.

This unidentified object was suspected of being wedding candy. He
was so happy that he didn’t dare to move. Are you joking, did their
Second Young Master seem like someone who liked people enough to
give them wedding candy?

“Wedding candy.” Bai Chuan uttered.

“Wedding candy?! For… for me?” Yu Qian immediately showed

an incredulous expression; it’s really was wedding candy ah.

“En.” In order to complete Xiaoya’s task, Bai Chuan also went

out of his way and interacted with the others.

“Thanks… Thanks… Second Young Master.” Yu Qian took the

wedding candy with a mysterious look.

When Bai Chuan saw him take it, he turned around and walked
to the next desk. Then took out the packet of wedding candy and
handed it over.

With the precedent of Yu Qian, the other people’s

reactions were much calmer. Although they still thought it was
magical, no one was dumbfounded anymore. After giving
congratulations, they respectfully took the wedding candy.

Bai Chuan gave out the fifteen packets of wedding candy one
by one. He personally went to each target person’s desk and
delivered it. After the last packet was delivered, Bai Chuan was
relieved and went back to his office.

After he finished giving out the wedding candy, he left behind

an office of stupid computer programmer apes.

 316 Report
“OMG, in my lifetime, I can actually eat the wedding candy
personally delivered by Second Young Master.” It wasn’t known who
sighed in the group, but the chat group of the R&D department
immediately exploded into flames.

“Second Young Master is married, right? Wasn’t it because

lao furen passed away?”

“I heard that the marriage was done in order to fulfill

lao furen’s last wish. I secretly heard from the gossip group of the
administrative department. The source is the President’s assistant.”

“You’re shameless, to go to that black person12I think they are

referring to Wang Jing and if they are, that means her coworkers sees
her as a black-bellied person or a green tea bitch lol family’s
administration department.”

“But if the source is the President’s assistant, then

the information is reliable.”

“Shouldn’t the point of this conversation be that Second Young

Master took the initiative to personally deliver wedding candy to us
today?”

“Ah, Second Young Master took the initiative to talk to me

today.” This sentence, no one didn’t need to ask, they all knew it was
Yu Qian, but his sentence was ignored by everyone tacitly, and the
discussion of the wedding candy continued.

“Second Young Master’s bag isn’t big. It seems that its only our
department that got it ah.”

“You say, who made Second Young Master give out wedding
candy?”

Just after the question was asked, a photo suddenly flashed in

the internal chat group. It was a pink note with a striking cartoon
portrait of a bride and next to it: ‘Thank you for taking care of

www.asianovel.com
 317 Report
Bai Chuan’.

Suddenly, the group quieted down, and the sound of unpacking

the wedding candy echoed in the office. They found that in every
packet of wedding candy had the same pink note.

“Wuwu ~~ I like the Second Young Lady.”

“Go away, do you want to die?!”

Working with Bai Chuan, who has autism, many people in the
R&D department have to pay attention to or accommodate
Bai Chuan. Although the salary for this group in Yifeng was very high,
the details of the accommodation wasn’t just salary. These
accommodations were like giving up seats to people in need on the
subway. You don’t have to be thanked by others, but this thank-
you,13They are giving an example of how they randomly
accommodate to BC and that MX’s pink note really made them warm
cause the accommodation they gave before was always expected
and no one ever showed them gratitude will always make you feel
warmer.

The warmth also made them feel like their distance from
Bai Chuan was getting lessened.

In H & Y studio.

Mu Xiaoya took two cups of coffee. One cup was given to Fang
Hui, who was tired and paralyzed on the sofa, while the other was for
herself.

“Smelling the coffee, I feel like I have recovered some energy.”

Fang Hui sat up and took a sip of coffee.

“Why do you invite so many people over for an interview?” For

two and a half hours, they interviewed nearly twenty people who
were looking for a job. They didn’t even have time to drink water.

www.asianovel.com
 318 Report
“I think that about half of them are good. Who would have
imagined that many would come?” Fang Hui sighed, “Is it
that difficult to find a job now?”

“I haven’t tried looking for a job, I don’t know.” Mu Xiaoya went

abroad to study in her last life and directly opened a studio in this
life. She really didn’t know how the current domestic market was
like.

“For a 5,000 yuan14That’s $705 USD job, why is the

competition so fierce?” Fang Hui couldn’t help but sigh.

“Not everyone can be as lucky as us.” In this respect,

Mu Xiaoya was more grounded than Fang Hui. The Mu family’s elders
were both teachers. This old couple have worked for decades and
today’s salary bonus deductions were only a little over
10,000 yuan.

“Also.” Fang Hui family is nouveau riche, but when she was a
child, she suffered several years of hardship, but was still completely
unaware of the world’s reality, “Which two do you think are suitable
for the positions?”

“I think the guy who works part-time at a coffee shop.”

Fang Hui glanced at the bar behind them and immediately

understood Mu Xiaoya’s meaning: “I see, then this recruit. There’s
also a little girl who uses PS15That’s photoshop very well. We
can definitely use her when we open a Taobao store. Let’s use these
two.”

“Okay.” Mu Xiaoya had no real opinion.

“By the way, when you came in this morning, did you say
that Bai Chuan returned to work today?” After talking about work,
Fang Hui began to gossip.

“En.” Mu Xiaoya nodded.

www.asianovel.com
 319 Report
“I really can’t imagine how an autistic person goes to work?”

“Why, look down on people ah. Our family’s Bai Chuan has three
years of work experience and is senior level talent with an annual
salary of 6 million.” Mu Xiaoya greatly emphasized the six
figures and poked her square on the face.

“What’s the big deal? My father’s company has a net profit of

over 100 million per year.”16Lol fucking rich people syndrome, oh
my daddy/mommy is so wealthy and their income is so high, their
accomplishments make me a much better person than you. Maybe if
your luck was better, you would have been born wealthy. Haha I see
this a lot in real life. Fang Hui was reluctant to show weakness.

“Are you going to use your father’s wealth to fight me?”

Mu Xiaoya squinted.

“Forget it. Now you have two dads. My family are upstarts, it’s
really unnecessary to fight.” Fang Hui puts up her fist to “admit
defeat” and said, “I give up.”

These two paused their garrulous talk, and contrary to

expectations, Mu Xiaoya recalled Bai Chuan. As soon as she
arrived to work, she was busy with interviews with Fang Hui and
didn’t have the chance to ask Bai Chuan about work. Although
Bai Chuan has been with the company for more than three years,
there wasn’t anything uncomfortable, but as the “culprit” who
deceived Bai Chuan to return to work, Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help
worrying.

Mu Xiaoya took out her mobile phone and sent a message

to Bai Chuan: At work?

Bai Chuan responded quickly: En!

Mu Xiaoya: You must be very busy after returning from a long

vacation.

www.asianovel.com
 320 Report
Bai Chuan: Not busy. (No one dares to
stipulate Bai Chuan’s workload. He always likes to control how much
he does, so he never felt busy.)

Mu Xiaoya smiled and continued to ask:

Is anything uncomfortable or not the same as before?

Bai Chuan: Yes.

Mu Xiaoya frowns: Where is it uncomfortable?

Bai Chuan: I want to leave work and see you at home.

Mu Xiaoya stared at this message and was stunned. Then the

whole person smirked uncontrollably.

“What are you looking at, smiling so much?” Fang Hui grabbed
Mu Xiaoya’s mobile phone, glanced at the content, then the whole
person’s teeth felt sore. “I’ll go. Bai Chuan is an expert in flirting
ah.”

“Return the phone to me.” Mu Xiaoya took the phone back from
Fang Hui.

“Hello, are you sure Bai Chuan has autism?” Fang Hui’s voice
was pinched to mimic the two’s recent conversation. “Where is it
uncomfortable? Yes, I miss you, I want to get off work. This level of
speech isn’t just clear, but the EQ is provocative ah.”

“He meant that when he used to go to work, he wouldn’t want

to leave work, but now that we’re married, he wants to leave. It’s just
plain words and not provocative.” Mu Xiaoya explained.

“That’s what I mean ah.”

“Why, can’t autistic people think of their wives?”

Mu Xiaoya wasn’t happy.

www.asianovel.com
 321 Report
“I see. What you mean is that if it was someone else, they will
say it deliberately,17If it was normal people, they will deliberately be
flirting with her basically… but your family’s Bai Chuan said it from
the heart, right?” Fang Hui concluded.

“Yes.”

“Oh my God ah, I can’t stand it!” Fang Hui left the table with a
sour pat on the table.

“Where are you going?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“Go to a recruitment website and post a message to recruit a

boyfriend.” Fang Hui replied indignantly.

Mu Xiaoya smiled, and continued to send messages

to Bai Chuan: Go to work. I will be home at six.

Bai Chuan: En, I’m going home at six too.

Mu Xiaoya: By the way, have all the wedding

candies been delivered?

Bai Chuan: Yes, there are four packets left.

Mu Xiaoya: Did they like it?

In the R&D department, Bai Chuan saw this message from

Mu Xiaoya and didn’t know the immediate answer. Instead, he
quickly tapped a string of code with his fingers on the keyboard,
edited an instruction, then clicked to execute. As soon
as Bai Chuan hit the ENTER key, outside the office, there were fifteen
computers in the R&D department in which a message appeared
simultaneously.

[Do you like today’s wedding candy?]

At the same time, the programmers froze. No one expected that

www.asianovel.com
 322 Report
they would have to give feedback after receiving the wedding candy.
But it wasn’t good if they didn’t answer. Their Second Young
Master was very domineering. If they don’t answer, they wouldn’t be
able to use their computers. So, in less than ten seconds, everyone
submitted their answers, as if they were all fluid as water.

Bai Chuan then picked up his cell phone and replied to his wife’s
message: They all like it.

Mu Xiaoya: Work hard and remember to eat.

After Bai Chuan’s reply, he subconscious glance at the time. It

was 11:45, and there were 46 minutes left until lunch.

Yifeng Group has its own staff canteen, and in order to cater to
the employee’s taste, there were all kinds of Chinese and Western
food. It was lunch time for Yifeng Group from 11:30 to 1:30 every
day in the afternoon. But the programmers in the R&D department
were special, because they often stay late to work overtime, so they
had all kinds of energy supplement rations in the office all year
round, they ate when they were hungry, and they have long
forgotten the normal three meal times.

So, when the colleagues from the other floors came down
for the meal, people in the R&D department didn’t move at all. When
they felt hungry and the cafeteria was closed, they could only go to
the break room and make noodles.

Naturally, Bai Zheng won’t let his younger brother fall into that
situation, so he will send a special person to deliver lunch to
Bai Chuan every afternoon. Although Bai Chuan might not eat it, at
least it ensures that when Bai Chuan wants to eat, he will eat
nutritious food.

After a while, it was 12:31.

Bai Chuan’s hand seemed to be put on a timer, and right at that

www.asianovel.com
 323 Report
minute, he immediately stopped his action of typing on the keyboard.
He habitually turned to the table on his left side, but this time, he
didn’t find the familiar food on it, then frowned doubtfully.

Strange, if I was hungry before, there would be food in this

spot ah.

Bai Chuan looked up blankly, and for a while he couldn’t

remember who used to deliver meals to him, so he didn’t know who
to look for at this time.

What should I do? I promised Xiaoya to eat well. It’s time to eat,
but there’s no lunch.

“If something is delayed, it can’t be more than an hour before

and after, you must eat.” In a panic, Bai Chuan suddenly thought of
Mu Xiaoya’s words again.

With one hour left, he still had time, and Bai Chuan gradually
relaxed.

The relaxed Bai Chuan’s brain started to work and he began to

think about who else he could find in the company. Soon, he thought
of a person, so he took out his cellphone and made a phone call.

The phone quickly connected. Bai Chuan didn’t wait for the
other party to speak, he immediately said: “Where’s my lunch?”

He was having lunch with the other bosses. Bai Zheng, whose
eyes were full of delicacies and seafood: “…”

“President Bai, did something happen at the

company?” Someone saw Bai Zheng’s complexion was wrong.

“Sorry, I have to step out and make a call.” Bai Zheng picked
up the phone and went out to call his assistant.

Lu Yang was Bai Zheng’s assistant. He just returned from the

www.asianovel.com
 324 Report
cafeteria and was preparing to sort out the materials for Bai Zheng’s
meeting in the afternoon. He received a call from his boss.

“President.”

“Have you eaten?”

Lu Yang blinked in wonder. When did the President care about

whether he has eaten or not, but he truthfully replied:
“Just finished.”

“Have you forgotten to eat ah?”

Lu Yang, even if he was stupid, could hear that something was

wrong. He was scared and almost cried: “President, if I did something
wrong, please make it clear. I will correct it.”

“When you’re hungry and know how to eat, why didn’t you
remember to send Xiao Chuan food?” Bai Zheng asked.

“Second… Second Young Master.” Wang Jing had always

delivered meals to Bai Chuan, but at this time, Lu Yang certainly
couldn’t say that Wang Jing didn’t deliver it. So, he could only
promise, “I’ll send it to the Second Young Master.”

“Humph!”

For the first time, Lu Yang, who was humph by Bai Zheng,
shivered with fear. He turned to find Wang Jing and showered her
with questions, “Secretary Wang, you didn’t deliver the meal
to Second Young Master today?”

Wang Jing said with a face full of grievance. “I… I wanted to

deliver, but this morning, the President said that he doesn’t want me
to take care of Second Young Master anymore.”

Lu Yang frowned, and strangely glanced at Wang Jing. There

were three secretaries in the President’s office. Wang Jing’s ability

www.asianovel.com
 325 Report
wasn’t outstanding, but she was kept in the President’s office
because she was patient and took care of Second Young Master.
What’s going on now? On the first day of his return from vacation,
she offended him?

“The President doesn’t let you take care of the Second Young
Master anymore, so you don’t hand over your work? If you don’t
deliver the meal, why didn’t you remind others to send it?” Lu Yang
asked.

“I’m sorry, I’ll send it now.” Wang Jing said that as she was

“No need! I will personally deliver it.” Where did Lu Yang dare to
give the task to Wang Jing? He went to the cafeteria to prepare the
meal, then sent it to the office in the R&D department.

“Second Young Master, lunch.” Lu Yang placed the lunch box in

front of Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan looked at the time. It was 12:46,18He called his

brother at 12:31, this is really fast, Lu Yang is sure able, to do all this
in 15 minutes, please note this is a huge corporation, so for him to
run to the president’s office to yell at Wang Jing, then to the cafeteria
to make him food, then up the elevator to the R&D, that is fucking
speedy. To give you guys perspective, my company is very small and
it takes me about 6 minutes just to walk to my office from the
timeclock he still had time to finish the meal. So, his impression of Lu
Yang was good, since he sent him the meal in time. After thinking
about it, he took out a packet of wedding candy and gave it to Lu
Yang.

“Thank you, Second Young Master.” Lu Yang was flattered and

surprised when he took it, then suddenly felt that as long as there
was this packet of wedding candy he wouldn’t be in trouble when the
President returns in the afternoon.19Lol BC just handed out a jail free

Another Onset

“The shoes are already on the market.” In the studio, Fang Hui sat
next to Mu Xiaoya with a computer tablet.

“How?” Mu Xiaoya asked. Their first batch of their brand-name

shoes were sold through the exclusive store of Fang Hui’s uncle, but
the price is 50% higher than the other shoes in his shop, so
they weren’t too optimistic on projected sales.

“It was only put out this afternoon, the sales data we will look at
tomorrow.” Fang Hui said.

“Evenings and weekends are prime time for sales. It will take
about two days to know the popularity of our shoes.”
Mu Xiaoya said.

“I suddenly feel nervous, what should I do?” Fang Hui frowned.

“Didn’t you promise me that it didn’t matter if we don’t make a

profit and don’t lose money? Why are you nervous now?”
Mu Xiaoya smiled.

“When you have a business, isn’t it naturally to want to make

money and not lose money?” Fang Hui’s mood was bad.

“Okay, there’s no use thinking about it now.” Mu Xiaoya closed

the computer and stood up, carrying her bag. “I think it’s better for

www.asianovel.com
 327 Report
us to go home early and get some sleep. We will know the results
tomorrow morning.”

“No, what time is it? You’re getting off work now?” Fang Hui
looked at the time, and it wasn’t past five o’clock yet.

“There’s nothing to do today and I promised Xiao Chuan that I’ll

be home at six o’clock today. Last time, I was late and made him wait
for me.1If only she knows that that 15 minutes late was compared to
a few months late in BC’s mind… This time, I have to go back early
so I can be the one waiting for him.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“You guys are childish. You wait for me, I’ll wait for you.” As an
adult, Fang Hui couldn’t accept this kind of love which seems like
kindergarten children meeting each other to go to school every day.

Mu Xiaoya smiled and didn’t explain. The way she got along
with Bai Chuan was simple and almost childish. But this childish thing
might be the most important thing for Bai Chuan right now.
Mu Xiaoya doesn’t know how long her patience will last or whether
she can keep her promise to Bai Chuan every time. But, at least now,
she was willing to cooperate with Bai Chuan’s childish way of getting
along.

“Go.” She waved her hands to shoo her off and

Mu Xiaoya pushed open the door and then drove back to the villa
half an hour earlier.

Yifeng Group.

In the past afternoon, Bai Zheng had finished talking about an

external cooperation. When he came back, he called all the
department heads and had meetings with them nonstop. He didn’t
come back to his office until he was almost off-duty.

“President.” Assistant Lu Yang smartly delivered a cup of warm

water to quench his thirst.

www.asianovel.com
 328 Report
Bai Zheng took a sip, moistened his throat and said, “After a
while, arrange for a driver to take Xiao Chuan back.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange it.” Lu Yang immediately answered.

“Also, organize the meeting materials for me

and order me dinner.” While talking, Bai Zheng took off his suit
jacket and hung it on a hanger, then rolled up his sleeves. When he
was about to continue working, he saw that his assistant was still
standing at his desk and didn’t leave.

“Something else?” Bai Zheng asked.

“President…” Lu Yang hesitated a moment and took out a bag

of red things from his pocket and put it on Bai Zheng’s desk.

“What is this?” Bai Zheng frowned.

“Wedding candy,” Lu Yang answered.

Bai Zheng was stupefied for a moment, wedding candy?

“Did you get married?” Bai Zheng subconsciously began to

consider their work schedule. “The last few projects are very tight,
and the fifth generation of VR games will be released soon. I won’t be
able to grant you leave because of this period of time. Because of
this, I can ask the Finance Department to send you an extra red
envelope which will be your wedding gift. After the rush is over, I will
give you a big holiday.”

” …I didn’t get married.” Lu Yang, who wasn’t married, said

awkwardly.

“You didn’t get married, then why are you giving me that
wedding candy?” Bai Zheng was speechless.

“This is the wedding candy that Second Young Master gave

me.”

www.asianovel.com
 329 Report
Xiao Chuan? Bai Zheng looked coldly at the packet of wedding
candy again with a different look.2Big bro is jelly!

“I heard that when Second Young Master arrived at the

company today, he came with a large bag of wedding candies. At the
door, he gave a bag of wedding candy to security guard Xiao Chen.
Then to the entire R&D department, there isn’t one person who didn’t
receive the wedding candy. This was given to me when I went to
deliver the meal at noon.” As Bai Zheng’s assistant, Lu Yang clearly
knew his boss’s love for his younger brother, Bai Chuan. Even if ten-
million-yuan worth of investment projects were completed, Bai Zheng
will be happier when his family’s Second Young Master made some
progress in autism.

“And… open it up and have a look.” Lu Yang reminded again.

Bai Zheng glanced at Lu Yang, took

the wedding candy and opened the packet according to his words,
then pulled out the pink note inside. Then he stared at it for a long
time without speaking.

Lu Yang knew at this time, he should leave, so he was going to

take back his wedding candy and go out to arrange a driver
for Second Young Master. Unexpectedly, his finger just touched the
edge of the happy candy and was held down by Bai Zheng.

“President, this is the wedding candy that Second Young

Master gave me.” Lu Yang suddenly had a bad premonition when he
saw Bai Zheng’s overbearing posture.

“Didn’t you bring it to me?” Bai Zheng asked.

“I… that’s…” It was just to show you…

At Bai Zheng’s cold sight, Lu Yang really didn’t have the

courage to say what he wanted to say.

Abandoning the wedding candy, Lu Yang despondently left Bai

www.asianovel.com
 330 Report
Zheng’s office. When he closed the door, he dared to mumble, “He
didn’t receive a wedding candy from his younger brother but goes
and steals mine. I want to be granted some happiness. I’ll find a
girlfriend this year.”3Maybe he will pair up with Fang Hui!

Bai Chuan’s attendance to work was extremely accurate, he

walks into his office at 8:50. But on the contrary, he’s not so precise
about his working hours. He usually leaves the office after finishing
one of his tasks and suddenly realizes its time to go home. Then at
this time, the R&D desk clerk, Xiao Li, will call the driver to let them
know to wait at the company’s entrance.

Therefore, when Bai Chuan leaves work, it’s usually irregular,

but after a long time, Xiao Li was able to predict the approximate
time range. Bai Chuan will leave his office between 6:00 to 7:30
every evening. However, no one came out of their
offices punctually at the end of the day. But today, from 1:00 to 5:30,
Bai Chuan didn’t care that the program in his hand was only half
written, he immediately shut down his computer and walked out of
the office.

“Second Young Master is leaving work?” The programmers saw

Bai Chuan suddenly left the office, then they quietly talked in the
group chat again.

“No, the last program he was working on was only half

written. Second Young Master has obsessive-compulsion disorder
and won’t leave work unless he finishes it.”

“But Second Young Master is almost at the elevator door.”

“Maybe to use the restroom?” There was a restroom near

the elevator entrance.

“Idiot, Second Young Master has a bathroom in his office.”

In order to make Bai Chuan feel comfortable, Bai Zheng

www.asianovel.com
 331 Report
prepared everything he could in Bai Chuan’s office. It can be said
that as long as Bai Chuan was unwilling, he didn’t need to take a
single step outside his office. So gradually, people in the R&D
department knew that once Bai Chuan leaves the office, he must be
ready to go home.

Bai Chuan walked out of the big office, then walked to the
elevator on the right side.

“Second… Second Young Master, are you leaving work?” Xiao

Li, the clerk asked with uncertainty.

Bai Chuan didn’t speak, instead he pressed the button for the
elevator. When the elevator came up, he stepped in.

“Xiao Li, Second Young Master is leaving work to go home?” Yu

Qian poked out his head and asked.

“I don’t know ah. Second Young Master didn’t answer.” Xiao Li

hesitated for a moment and decided to pick up the desk phone to
inform the driver downstairs. “Second Young Master just went
down.”

“It seems that Second Young Master is really leaving work.” Yu

Qian turned back and announced to everyone.

“Who, who cured our Second Young Master’s obsessive-

compulsive disorder.” Someone cried out miserably, Second Young
Master just returned from his one-month long vacation and didn’t
dare to expect how much Second Young Master should work, but
they were hoping he would finish the program he had at hand ah.

“No, I don’t think Second Young Master’s obsessive-compulsive

disorder was cured, but when Second Young Master’s message
arrived to us simultaneously from the control center,4They are
calling BC’s computer the central control center loool Second Young
Master’s priority changed to execute a higher-level task.” A’Tong Mu

www.asianovel.com
 332 Report
suddenly stood up and said.

“What’s the higher-level task?” Everyone wondered in

confusion.

“His wife called him home for dinner.”

“…”

It took Bai Chuan three minutes to take the elevator from the
office to downstairs, and another one minute to get on the car and
fasten his seatbelt. He calculated that it would only take 20 minutes
to drive from the company to the house. He can make it home before
six.

After the driver began driving, Bai Chuan sat in the backseat
and silently counted the time. He calculated the time to get off work,
the time to get on and off the elevator, the speed, but he forgot to
calculate traffic. In other words, the former Bai Chuan has never paid
attention to traffic while commuting to work.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, most companies in the city was

already off work. This was the peak time for traffic congestion. Less
than ten minutes after driving, the car obviously slowed down. It
wasn’t until six o’clock that they were a little more than halfway.

The driver responsible for taking Bai Chuan home didn’t know
that Bai Chuan had a need to go home before six o’clock. After
encountering the traffic jam, he lowered his speed and
slowly matched the turtle speed of traffic. He drove forward with
patience until a sudden burst of sound came from behind.

It’s six o’clock!

Bai Chuan glanced outside the car and found that

he didn’t return home on time. He suddenly became anxious. He
wanted to go home and see Xiaoya. He hurriedly reached out to
open the door, trying to get out of the car to walk back, but when he

www.asianovel.com
 333 Report
tried to open it, he found that he couldn’t open it. Then he tried it a
few more times to no avail.

Why couldn’t he open it?

The anxiety was instantly magnified infinitely, and the action of

opening the door became more and more violent. At last,
Bai Chuan hit the door with his body, trying to open the door.

“Second young, Second Young Master, what’s wrong with you?

You can’t get out of the car now.” The driver was just assigned to
take Bai Chuan home. He has never seen this scene before. He was
scared and didn’t know what to do.

“It’s six o’clock. I’m going home. I’m going home. It’s six
o’clock.” Bai Chuan kept repeating six o’clock, going home, while
hitting the door with his own shoulder, making a muffled sound.

“Second young, Second Young Master, don’t hit the door.” The
driver was scared but he couldn’t do anything but shout.

“It’s six o’clock, I’m going home.” Bai Chuan kept repeating
this sentence and couldn’t hear any outside sound.

“Second young, Second Young Master!” If he hits it like this

again, he will be injured. The driver gritted his teeth, looked at an
empty seat, moved the car to the side of the road, then pulled the
emergency break, took off his seatbelt and climbed to the backseat
to prevent Bai Chuan from injuring himself.

The driver tightly held Bai Chuan’s waist from behind and pulled
back hard, but the space in the compartment was small, and coupled
with Bai Chuan’s strength during his onset, the driver couldn’t hold
Bai Chuan back at all, so he could only minimize the impact. In the
space, the driver was even hit in the face by Bai Chuan’s elbow
several times, clenching his teeth in pain.

While the driver was thinking about what to do, Bai Chuan, who

www.asianovel.com
 334 Report
was struggling violently in his arms, suddenly stopped. He stopped
hitting the door, slowly reached into his pocket, and pulled out his
cellphone that was brightly lit from his pocket.

Did someone call Second Young Master? However, the ringtone

from the phone rung with a strange Didi. Even he couldn’t hear it if
he didn’t pay attention to it, and definitely wouldn’t have been able
to hear it with Second Young Master’s onset.

“Hey, Xiao Chuan, are you off work? When will you be

home?” When the call was connected, Mu Xiaoya’s voice came from
the phone.

“It’s 6:10, 6:10, 6:10.” Bai Chuan glanced at the time on the
cellphone, and his whole person began to enter a state of panic
again.

“Hey, hello, Xiao Chuan, what’s wrong with you?”

Mu Xiaoya heard Bai Chuan and knew something wasn’t right, then
asked anxiously.

“6:10, 6:10, 6:11…” As time passed by another minute and one

second, Bai Chuan became more and more anxious, which made him
unable to focus so he could answer Mu Xiaoya’s question.

When the driver saw that Bai Chuan was unable to

communicate normally, he could only press the speaker button on his
cellphone and shout to the person on the other end of the phone,
“Hello, I’m the driver who is tasked to send Second Young Master
back. Second Young Master seems to be having an issue.”

“What, what’s going on?”

“Just now, Second Young Master kept trying to get out of the car
and hit the door with his body. Finally, I managed to stop him.
Now…” The driver glanced at Bai Chuan and said, “He’s not hitting
the door and been saying 6:10. Oh, he also said 6 o’clock and going

www.asianovel.com
 335 Report
home.”

“Sir, what’s your surname?” Mu Xiaoya, who guessed the

reason, calmed down.

“My surname is Ma.”

“Sir Ma, please put the cellphone to Xiao Chuan’s ear and turn
the volume to the maximum.” Mu Xiaoya commanded.

The driver looked at it, put it in place, then heard the girl in the
cellphone say to Bai Chuan in a very light tone: “Xiao Chuan, I’m
going to come pick you up. Will you wait for me in the car?”

After repeating this sentence five times consecutively,

Bai Chuan gradually returned to his senses: “Are you coming to pick
me up?”

“Yes, I’m already on the way. Will you wait for me in the car for
a while?”

“OK.”

“Then give your cellphone to the driver next to you. I have

something to tell him.”

Bai Chuan turned his head dumbly, glanced at the strange

driver next to him, and passed the cellphone. Sir Ma took the phone
and put it against his ear: “It’s me.”

“Sir Ma, please send me your GPS

coordinates on Xiao Chuan’s cellphone. Before I come, watch him
carefully and don’t let him get out of the car or hurt himself. I have to
trouble you.” Mu Xiaoya sincerely asked.

“Okay!” Sir Ma didn’t dare to let Bai Chuan out of the car. He
locked the car from the inside, then sat beside Bai Chuan to guard
him. At the same time, he called to inform the company to report

www.asianovel.com
 336 Report
that Second Young Master, the chairman’s son, something had
happened, and he couldn’t explain it.

The moment Lu Yang received the call, his frightened face was
completely pale with fear, and he rushed into the President’s office:
“President, Second Young Master had an issue on the way home.”

“What?!”

In fact, the place where Bai Chuan’s car was located was very
close to the Bai family’s villa, so Mu Xiaoya arrived at
Bai Chuan’s location faster than Bai Zheng, but the traffic jam was
more serious at this time. Seeing that she was less than a kilometer
away from Bai Chuan and that the car was blocked, she decided with
difficulty to walk.

“Uncle Li, I’ll run over first, and you can slowly drive the car
over.” Mu Xiaoya anxiously pushed the car door open and ran out
without waiting for Uncle Li’’s response.

Mu Xiaoya ran between traffic, runs for a few steps, and felt that
her speed wasn’t fast enough. Mu Xiaoya simply took off her high-
heeled shoes and ran with them in her hands. After running for about
ten minutes, Mu Xiaoya finally saw Bai Chuan’s car.

She ran over to the window of the backseat and

saw Bai Chuan inside.

Bai Chuan was sitting upright in the back seat, holding his
mobile phone in his hand, and she wasn’t sure what he was saying.

Seeing that Bai Chuan was okay, Mu Xiaoya was relieved. She
leaned down, and gently knocked on the window next to Bai Chuan,
and called out, “Xiao Chuan.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Chuan turned his head and saw
Mu Xiaoya outside the window. His eyes lit up immediately and he
was excited to open the door and get out.

www.asianovel.com
 337 Report
The driver didn’t stop him this time. He unlocked the car and let
Bai Chuan open the door smoothly.

“Xiaoya.” Bai Chuan hurried out of the car and grabbed

Mu Xiaoya’s arm. Mu Xiaoya was pushed by him and stumbled. The
person took two steps back and the high-heeled shoes in her hands
fell.

“I’m here.” Mu Xiaoya didn’t care about picking up her shoes

and carefully observed Bai Chuan’s expression. Fortunately, it
doesn’t look too serious.

“Xiaoya, Xiaoya, Xiaoya…” Bai Chuan kept shouting, and

Mu Xiaoya let him shout. He shouted and Mu Xiaoya replied until
Bai Chuan calmed down.

“At six o’clock, I didn’t go home.” Bai Chuan’s voice was full of
grievances. He promised Xiaoya that he would go home at six
o’clock, but now it’s 6:46 and he’s still not home.

Did this really happen because he didn’t arrive home on time?

“It’s okay.” Mu Xiaoya said calmly and softly, “Aren’t I here to

take you home?”

“I’m late, I didn’t go home on time at six o’clock.”

“I’m was late too ah. Last week, I was late because of the traffic
jam and you were waiting for me.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“I don’t want you to wait for me. When you wait, time is very
slow.” Bai Chuan didn’t like the feeling that time moved very
slowly.

So, when you were waiting for me, did you always feel that time
was slow?

“…I didn’t wait for you ah. I came to you.” Mu Xiaoya suddenly

www.asianovel.com
 338 Report
wanted to cry.

After thinking for a

while, Bai Chuan thought that Mu Xiaoya’s explanation seemed very
reasonable.

Yes, Xiaoya didn’t wait, instead she came to find him. This
realization made Bai Chuan a little bit happy and he couldn’t help
but smile.

“Shoes.” After smiling, Bai Chuan noticed

Mu Xiaoya’s shoes besides her feet. He bent down, helped
Mu Xiaoya straighten the crooked heels, and help put them
on Mu Xiaoya’s feet.

Mu Xiaoya raised her feet and put on her shoes.

“Xiao Chuan, let’s go home.”

Mu Xiaoya pulled Bai Chuan back and returned to the car.

Traffic was still congested. People constantly honked which

caused headaches. When a driver merges their car into traffic, it
caused traffic to slow even further. But Bai Chuan in the backseat
was no longer impatient. Sir Ma took a look from the mirror.
Their Second Young Master was holding the girl’s hand just now and
their eyes were bright as if they were in a good mood.

He deduced this is Second Young Master’s wife from listening to

the security guard Xiao Chen who was given a wedding candy at the
company today.

At a distance of more than ten meters from their car, Bai Zheng
stopped and watched Bai Chuan’s car leave until Lu Yang
drove over.5The brother also ran over in traffic like Mu Xiaoya

“President, what about Second Young Master?” Lu Yang asked

strangely when he saw that Bai Zheng who got out of the car to run
to find Second Young Master but was stunned on the side of the road

www.asianovel.com

instead.

“Go home.” Bai Zheng thought of the note in the wedding candy
and the state of Mu Xiaoya who ran barefoot in traffic just now. It
seems that he was finally convinced that this woman was sincere
towards his younger brother.

“Go back to the company.” Bai Zheng return to the car.

“Ah?” Lu Yang was surprised. This person with brother complex,

whenever Second Young Master had an issue, usually he always goes
to see him, but not only didn’t he go see him, he still was in the
mood to return to the company?

Has Nothing to do with Virtue or Responsibility

Soon after the two returned to the villa, Uncle Li, who drove
Mu Xiaoya to them, also returned. As soon as he entered the door, he
hurried over to see Bai Chuan, only to find that Bai Chuan was sitting
quietly in the dining room for dinner.

“Second Young Master, are you okay?” Uncle Li asked

worriedly.

“He’s okay.” Mu Xiaoya nodded her head gently.

“How could it happen so suddenly?” After a sigh of relief, Uncle

Li asked. Before, Bai Chuan had never had an issue before
commuting to work or being in the car.

“I made an appointment with Bai Chuan at six o’clock in the

evening. He was stuck in a traffic jam, and he was anxious, so… it’s
all my fault.” Mu Xiaoya blamed herself.

“How can I blame you?” Uncle Li didn’t expect Bai Chuan to

suddenly get upset because he failed to return home on time, but
this matter shouldn’t be the Second Young Lady’s fault, the fault is…
Where is the fault?

Was the fault because Second Young Master was being too
persistent, didn’t know how to change, or cared too much about
lao furen’s final request? If you have to place blame, the only fault

www.asianovel.com
 341 Report
can only be because of Second Young Master’s condition. Uncle Li
looked at Mu Xiaoya, who blamed herself, and suddenly felt
uncomfortably. Second Young Master and Second Young Master’s
wife were both young and good, they were the perfect couple. But
how could Second Young Master…

“Fortunately, there’s nothing wrong with Xiao Chuan, he was

just anxious. Uncle Li can you call dad and mom and let them know
so they won’t worry about it.” Mu Xiaoya asked Uncle Li with a smile.
She knew that Uncle Li must have reported to others about
Bai Chuan’s issue.

“Okay.” When Uncle Li made a phone call, the master and

madam were already on their way back. After listening to Eldest
Young Master for a while, they no longer heard anything else he said
and immediately had intentions to return.

After Bai Guoyu and Li Rong returned home, Bai Chuan had
recovered as usual, with a calm mood and a rosy complexion. Their
hearts relaxed and they comforted Mu Xiaoya again. They weren’t
reproachful, but instead told her a few words. They reminded her
that Bai Chaun’s autism causes him to be stubborn and inflexible.
He strongly focuses on the time, so Mu Xiaoya should try to not be
specific on the time when she wants to meet with Bai Chuan.
Because in the event of an accident that makes it impossible to meet
at the appointed time, Bai Chuan will become irritable.

“Xiaoya, mom and dad say this to you to remind you in good
faith, we aren’t trying to say you were at fault. Xiao Chuan is just like
this, so you must be shocked. It’s not your fault. You must not take it
to heart.” Li Rong was worried that Mu Xiaoya would think too much
about it.

“I know. I haven’t been with Xiao Chuan for long and didn’t
know many of his habits. It’s good for you to mention it to me. I’ll pay
attention to it from now on.” Mu Xiaoya understood Li Rong’s
meaning in her heart. She didn’t think much about it, but

www.asianovel.com
 342 Report
Bai Chuan suffered today, so she couldn’t help but blame herself.

“It’s fine if you understand.”

“Dad, Mom, I’ll go upstairs to check on Xiao Chuan.”

Mu Xiaoya was worried about Bai Chuan and went back to the
bedroom.

After Mu Xiaoya left, Li Rong was still worried. She looked at her
husband and anxiously said: “You say, does Xiaoya feel that
Xiao Chuan is too troublesome?”

Bai Guoyu pondered for a moment and replied, “Xiaoya didn’t

say anything, so I can’t make a wild guess.”

“Aren’t you worried? If Xiaoya feels that Xiao Chuan is

troublesome and wants to leave…”

“We promised Xiaoya’s parents, if Xiaoya wants to leave, we

won’t stop her.” Bai Guoyu reminded Li Rong, although he
didn’t want Mu Xiaoya to leave.

“I’m… afraid of Xiao Chuan’s sorrow.” If Mu Xiaoya really

wanted to leave, Li Rong wouldn’t stop or stand in the way, but as
long as she thought of Bai Chuan, she couldn’t bear it.

“Don’t think about it, and…” Bai Guoyu said, “Let’s talk as little
as possible about Xiao Chuan and Xiaoya.”

“You also think that I just reminded Xiaoya deliberately, do you

think Xiaoya will think too much about it?” Li Rong was worried.

“No. I just think that when Xiaoya married into our family, our
family care too much about Xiao Chuan.1Basically, they treat them
too differently, like they don’t treat Xiaoya as well as BC and it can
lead to an misunderstanding which can harm their interpersonal
relationships After a long time, there will be misunderstandings. I
think it’s also time for them to move out. This way,

www.asianovel.com
 343 Report
some misunderstandings can be avoided in advance.” Bai Guoyu
suggested.

“What if Xiao Chuan has another fit?” Li Rong was upset.

“Can you make Xiao Chuan calm down in the car with a phone
call?” Bai Guoyu asked his wife.

No, Li Rong knew that all they could do before was prevent
Bai Chuan from harming himself until he calmed down.

When Mu Xiaoya returned to the bedroom, Bai Chuan was

sitting at his desk writing something.

“Xiao Chuan, it’s almost time to take a bath and rest.”

Bai Chuan had just returned to his emotional baseline2Baseline
means your typical ‘normal’/clear state of mind, and
Mu Xiaoya thought he should rest early.

After Bai Chuan finished the last stroke, he left the desk
obediently, took the pajamas Mu Xiaoya handed him, and went to
the bathroom to take a shower.

When the sound of water came from the bathroom,

Mu Xiaoya walked to the desk with curiosity to see
what Bai Chuan was writing. It was a loose-leaf
notebook. Bai Chuan didn’t close the notebook, so the notebook was
spread out on the desk. On the white
paper, Bai Chuan wrote densely with beautiful handwriting: it was six
o’clock, and I wanted to go home.3I think he’s writing an apology or
the reason why he had an onset….basically he grew as a person
because before he never really explained himself but keeping in
mind that Mu Xiaoya said they were now married and she wanted to
help him, he decided to try to explain why this incident occur to her
so they can understand and prevent this from happening in the
future.

With this one glance, the tears that Mu Xiaoya endured this
entire time, instantly fell. Suddenly, she couldn’t even contain herself
and cried.

“I’ve washed.” Mu Xiaoya was stupefied for too long. She didn’t
know when Bai Chuan had finished washing and had already stood
beside Mu Xiaoya.

“Okay, then I’ll wash too.” Mu Xiaoya turned to leave but was
suddenly pulled by Bai Chuan.

“You’re crying.” Bai Chuan frowned, and asked with

some remorse, “Is it because I didn’t come home on time today?”

“No.” Mu Xiaoya wiped and dried her tears as if she could cover
up the fact that she had cried for a long time.

“Why are you crying then?” Bai Chuan wondered.

“I really didn’t cry.”

“Crying.” Bai Chuan’s tone was firm, his eyes were bright and
had an expression that he clearly saw.

“…” At this time, Mu Xiaoya eagerly wanted to be left alone for

a while, to sort out the bad emotions in her heart,
but Bai Chuan couldn’t understand that or understand her
words, instead he was persistent and asked why she was
crying. Mu Xiaoya didn’t know how to answer because there were too
may emotions that piled within her together and she couldn’t say
why exactly she was crying. She just felt tired and sad.

“I don’t want to say, okay?” Mu Xiaoya’s voice pleaded with a

hint.

Bai Chuan froze, struggling for a while, and suddenly leaned

over and embraced Mu Xiaoya. He gently coaxed in her ear: “Don’t
cry, hug.”

“Wuwu …” Mu Xiaoya’s accumulated emotions burst from her
heart. She wanted to sort it out by taking a bath but released it once
Bai Chuan coaxed her like a child, it was as if a floodgate has
opened.

“I just want to cry. Why do you keep asking, keep asking?”

“Don’t ask, don’t

ask.” Bai Chuan clumsily patted Mu Xiaoya’s back.

After this venting session, Mu Xiaoya’s mood was much better.

After washing, she and Bai Chuan laid in bed early. Before they went
to sleep, Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya and had an expression as if
he wanted to say something and couldn’t sleep.

“What do you want to say?” Mu Xiaoya was helpless.

“I want to say.” Bai Chuan immediately sat up from the quilt

excitedly. “I won’t ask you things that you don’t want me to ask, so
in the future, can you stop crying?”4Bro this kid got so excited cause
he thought he finally found the solution to the issue and wanted to
share his findings with her LOL

“…No!” Mu Xiaoya thought and wanted to cry again, “If I want

to cry, I’ll cry. Why can’t I cry?”

“Then… then you can do whatever you like.” Bai Chuan lay back
down innocently. Grandma is right, women’s thoughts are really
complicated.

The next morning.

At the breakfast table, Mu Xiaoya’s mental state was obviously

not very good. The other members of the Bai family saw her and
knew what was going on. They didn’t speak openly. For a while, the
atmosphere at the table was somewhat depressing.

After breakfast, Mu Xiaoya sent Bai Chuan to the door. Today

www.asianovel.com

Bai Zheng was also going to the company, so Bai Chuan took the car
with Bai Zheng to directly go to the company without having to wait
for a driver to pick him up.

“I will be back at six o’clock today.” Before entering the

car, Bai Chuan assured Mu Xiaoya again very seriously.

When Mu Xiaoya heard this, the smile on her face froze. Again?
Is it necessary to come back every day at that time in the future?

“I will arrange for the driver to bring Xiao Chuan back by six
o’clock.” Bai Zheng suddenly glanced at Mu Xiaoya, who had frozen,
and said that.

Mu Xiaoya glanced at Bai Zheng, and understood the other

party’s meaning, smiled, and thanked him.

“…Let’s leave.” Bai Zheng didn’t say anymore, opened the door
to leave.

Mu Xiaoya’s expression was very familiar now. It can be said

that every once in a while, his face and parents’ face will look like
that. That’s the feeling of responsibility, pressure, fatigue and
heartache. That’s the feeling when you get when you really realize
that it’s not easy to take care of Bai Chuan and, only those who
really care about Bai Chuan, would carry this expression. He hoped
that Mu Xiaoya could find a way to relieve that pressure and he also
respected Mu Xiaoya, who was having a hard time making peace
with herself.

“Wait a moment.” At this moment, Mu Xiaoya suddenly called

Bai Zheng.

Bai Zheng’s motion of getting in the car was paused, and he

looked over again.

“That, the driver who sent Xiao Chuan back yesterday, Sir Ma. It
seems that he was accidentally hurt by Xiao Chuan yesterday

www.asianovel.com
 347 Report
because he wanted to stop him from hitting the door.”
Mu Xiaoya found the injury on the driver’s face, but she was only
looking after Bai Chuan at the time, so she didn’t have time to ask.

“…I see.” Bai Zheng paused for a moment, then nodded that he
knows what to do. Yesterday, thanks to the driver’s cleverness, he
locked the car. If he didn’t, Bai Chuan might have run out of the car
and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Haiyuan Road.

Fang Hui drove to work in a spirited manner. Before the car

entered the parking lot, she saw Mu Xiaoya’s Audi from afar. She
wondered why Mu Xiaoya arrived earlier than her this morning
but found that Mu Xiaoya was sitting dazed in the driver’s seat and
the car was still running.

What’s this girl doing?

“What are you doing?” Fang Hui powered off her car and
couldn’t help but walk over to knock on the window.

“Fang Hui?” Mu Xiaoya returned to her senses and looked back.

“Dang, a big pair of panda eyes. Are you indulging too much
through the night or are you worried about our sales volume for our
shoes the entire night?” Fang Hui couldn’t help but joke.

“Because of Xiao Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya replied weakly.

“Because……” Fang Hui’s face changed abruptly. Looking at

Mu Xiaoya’s eyes, she suddenly saw a “yellow”5LOL the word yellow
in Chinese is often associate with porn or sex light. “It’s
overindulgence ah. You finally became a genuine married
woman…”

“Fang Hui, I’m going out, I have something to do and will be

back in the afternoon.” Mu Xiaoya ignored Fang Hui, as

www.asianovel.com
 348 Report
if she suddenly made a decision. She reversed her car and left.6Bro
she really left her friend hanging!

“…” Fang Hui, who was left behind and was bathed in a large
amount of exhaust said, “What’s the matter ah?”

After leaving the studio, Mu Xiaoya went directly to Yuncheng

University. She decided to talk to Professor Feng.

Since it was sudden, Mu Xiaoya could only try her luck and go to
Professor Feng’s office. She was then told that Professor Feng had
class in the morning, so she went to the large classroom where
Professor Feng had the class and quietly listened in the large
classroom. She didn’t get up from her seat until all the students who
went to the podium to ask Professor Feng some questions left. She
left her seat and smiled at Professor Feng.

“Is something wrong with Xiao Chuan?” On the tree-lined

avenue of Yuncheng University, the two were walking while talking
about Bai Chuan.

“Did you see?”

“Even if you don’t see, if you consider the time, it was almost
time for you to come back and see me?” Professor Feng said.

“What do you mean?” Mu Xiaoya was puzzled.

“It’s not easy to get along with people with autism. Although
Xiao Chuan has adjusted very well, there are still many differences
he has compared to ordinary people. Normal couples will have
problems with each other over time, let alone you and Xiao Chuan.”
Professor Feng said, “You came later than I expected.”

Mu Xiaoya smiled bitterly.

“But you still came to me, I’m very happy.” Facing

Mu Xiaoya’s surprised eyes, Professor Feng smiled, “This proves that

www.asianovel.com
 349 Report
you don’t intend to give up on Xiao Chuan. You came to me, you
want Xiao Chuan to change for the better, right? ”

“En.” This is what Mu Xiaoya thought.

“Let’s go to my office for a cup of tea and see what I can do for
you.” Professor Feng smiled comfortably and led Mu Xiaoya to his
office.

In the office, Mu Xiaoya told Professor Feng about the situation

in detail of Bai Chuan before and after his personal crisis. Professor
Feng listened carefully before he said.

“Usually, people with autism have self-established trajectory

and once its disrupted, or they think they fail their task, or they can’t
complete it in their time frame, it will be difficult for them to calm
down in a short amount of time.”7This can lead to a crisis and a post-
crisis recovery, the Mandt System is something you can google to
look at a visual of this emotional response.-Yserieh

“I know that’s why Xiao Chuan was upset yesterday.” Mu Xiaoya

pointed out.

“No, you misunderstood what I meant.” Professor Feng smiled.

“Yesterday, Xiao Chuan didn’t return home, but you calmed him
down.”

“Is there anything wrong with that?” Mu Xiaoya asked.

“No, it’s very good, very good.” Professor Feng said it twice in a
row, and his voice was a little excited, “I didn’t know that versatility
was a universal feature of autistic patients, but you
let Xiao Chuan learn to adapt yesterday.”

“Adapt?” Mu Xiaoya froze.

“Yes.” Professor Feng said, “We always think that autism is like
a glass cover, which separates autistic patients from normal people,

www.asianovel.com
 350 Report
but once we break through this glass cover and they can
communicate smoothly, there’s not much difference between autistic
patients and ordinary people. In theory, what normal people can do,
they can do as well.”

“The way you handled the situation was a very successful

situation. When Xiao Chuan couldn’t come home in time, you offered
to take the initiative to find him, he understood and accepted, then
he calmed down. Although, this is due to your good communication
skills and Xiao Chuan’s high acceptance of what you communicated.
At that moment, you let Xiao Chuan realize that there was another
possibility to solve his one issue. This is almost the same as common
sense for ordinary people, and it’s particularly difficult for autistic
patients, especially those with emotional processing issues. If you
can make Xiao Chuan realize this independently, he will slowly learn
how to adapt.”

“Self-awareness? How can I do that?” Mu Xiaoya frowned.

“Don’t worry. Don’t be too stressed. Didn’t I just say this

requires good communication?” Professor Feng comforted with a
smile, “So, you have done a good job now, as long as you stay with
him like this, he will naturally develop it slowly. ”

“I see. I will.” Mu Xiaoya promised.

“After talking about Xiao Chuan, let’s talk about you.” Professor
Feng suddenly said.

“Me?” Mu Xiaoya froze.

“Actually, family members of autistic people need psychological

counseling more than autistic people in these situations.” Professor
Feng said in a meaningful way, “In fact, autistic people can live in
their own world; they may not feel pressured. But the pressure is still
with their family members. In a skilled home8think group home for
those in the US, more than half of the parents give up on

www.asianovel.com
 351 Report
rehabilitation treatment for their children every year. And
occasionally, some parents leave their children with autism at the
door of a skilled facility.”

“I didn’t want to give up.” Mu Xiaoya hurriedly explained.

“Don’t get excited. I just want to tell you, if you feel tired, feel
sad, even if you ever want to give up, that’s normal. Don’t be too
harsh on yourself, don’t give yourself too much pressure. When you
want to talk, you can come to my place anytime.” Professor
Feng said.9We all need a Prof. Feng in our lives lol

Mu Xiaoya understood the meaning behind Professor Feng’s

words. Professor Feng was afraid that she would be trapped in a
huge circle that she can’t give up on Bai Chuan and was responsible
for him. She was taken away by this kind of self-virtue and finally
crushed by this kind of pressure. He could see that she wasn’t in a
good state of mind today and was counseling her in order to relieve
that pressure.

However, where would she be kidnapped by virtue? She never

even thought that she had any noble sentiment. If so, she would
have accepted Bai Chuan’s proposal in her last life.

What she was doing now, was because she wanted to do it.

It has nothing to do with virtue or responsibility.

She had experienced a world without Bai Chuan and doesn’t

yearn for it. In contrast, she cherishes the present more.

“Thank you, Professor Feng. I understand what you mean.

I won’t be trapped inside.” Mu Xiaoya replied.

Whether there was joy or sadness, it was the future where she
was willing to transverse with Bai Chuan. Her life was too short, how
could she easily let go?

It was already lunch time when she came out from Yuncheng
University, thus Mu Xiaoya found a restaurant nearby for lunch. While
waiting for the meals to be served, she suddenly remembered Bai
Chuan.

She wasn’t in her best state when she sent Bai Chuan to work in
the morning, she also didn’t know if Bai Chuan had noticed or not.
Although Bai Chuan wasn’t very sensitive to other people’s emotion,
but Mu Xiaoya always feels that Bai Chuan can capture her emotions.

When the meals were served, Mu Xiaoya took a photo of her food
and sent it to Bai Chuan.

Not long after, Bai Chuan already responded to her message:

‘There’s still ten minutes before 12.31.’

“…” Really not flexible ah. Mu Xiaoya smiled helplessly, but then
she thought about it and felt that the meal time she had set for Bai
Chuan couldn’t be changed anymore. Anyway, eating on time was
indeed a good habit.

But… the response is so fast, so he shouldn’t be affected by that

matter,right? After making a guess, Mu Xiaoya slowly relaxed and
concentrated on eating the food in front.

Ten minutes later, Mu Xiaoya had just finished her lunch and her
phone suddenly rang. She opened it and found that it was a lunch
picture from Bai Chuan, four dishes and one soup, which looked
nutritious and healthy.

Mu Xiaoya smiled and returned the message with six words: ‘You
have to finish it oh~’

www.asianovel.com
 353 Report
Fifteen minutes later, Mu Xiaoya received a reply from Bai Chuan;
a photo of a clean plate, indicating that he had finished his food.

This photo made Mu Xiaoya’s mood better again, so she continued

straight to the studio.

Back in the studio, Mu Xiaoya saw Fang Hui sitting in front of the
glass window while drinking a cup of coffee as soon as she entered
the door. She smiled and walked over to sit, “Bring me a cup of
coffee too.”

“Missing from work without a good reason, once coming still dare
to prompt the major shareholder, your guts isn’t small ah.” Fang Hui
gave her a glance without moving an inch.

“But I already asked for leave face to face oh…”

“Xiao Xin, make a cup of coffee.” Fang Hui shouted to the side.

“Alright.” Ying Xin was a newly recruited employee of the studio.

Today was his first day of work, and he noticed Mu Xiaoya as soon as
she entered the door, so he had been preparing coffee before Fang
Hui told him to do so.

“Your cup of coffee.” After a while, Ying Xin served the coffee to
her.

“Thank you, you are…” Mu Xiaoya remembered that the boy came
for an interview yesterday, but she couldn’t remember his name.

“My name is Ying Xin, you can call me Xiao Xin, I came to the
interview yesterday.” The boy introduced himself.

“Hello, I’m Mu Xiaoya.” Mu Xiaoya smiled and said, “Thanks for the
coffee.”

“You’re welcome.”

www.asianovel.com
 354 Report
“Xiao Xin, go call Leng Yi here.” Fang Hui ordered.

“Okay.”

A while later, Ying Xin brought with him a young girl wearing a cute
bow knot on the top of her head over.

“These are our newly recruited employees, Ying Xing and Leng Yi.”
Fang Hui also pointed her finger to Mu Xiaoya and introduced her,
“This is your other boss, the future big designer, Mu Xiaoya.”

“Hello, boss.” The two greeted in unison.

“Don’t call me boss ah, our ages are almost the same, you can just
call me Mumu.” She and Fang Hui just graduated from college this
year, so their age wasn’t that different from Ying Xin and Leng Yi.

“I already told you guys earlier, our studio isn’t big and it’s just us
four here, everyone is about the same age, so don’t be too cautious
when we get along. It’s more intimate to casually call each other, so
it’s all okay as long as we take the job seriously.” Fang Hui said.

“We will.” The two answered in a more relaxed manner.

Several of them were newcomers to the society, so they got along

in the afternoon and soon got acquainted. Leng Yi specialized in
graphic design, after graduating from polytechnic school, she had
one year of experience in opening an online store, so she felt no
pressure to take over the online store in the studio. After working for
one day, H&Y studio’s online shop finally looked presentable, even in
the afternoon, there’s still one person that asked about the price.

“Fang Hui, just now we have a customer inquiring online.” Mu

Xiaoya immediately told Fang Hui the good news.

“What’s so strange about it? I already sold dozens of pairs

already.” Fang Hui said disapprovingly.

www.asianovel.com
 355 Report
“What? When did it happen? Why didn’t I know about it?”

“I wanted to tell you this morning, but you ignored me all the time
ah.” Fang Hui spread her hands.

“Quick, quick, tell me about it.” Mu Xiaoya dragged Fang Hui aside
in excitement.

“My uncle called me in the morning and said that our shoes market
is going well.” Fang Hui smiled, “Although we only opened for one
day, but 50% of the outlets have already opened orders, one sold
one pair, the other sold two pairs. And in 80% of the stores, the
shoes that had been inquired and fitted on were also in good
condition. My uncle also said, based on his years of shoe sales
experience, our shoes…have the chance to be sold out.”

“Then we can earn the rent for the next six months?” Mu Xiaoya
was very excited.

“Of course ah. Finally, we don’t have to be worried about having no

money to pay the rent.”

Leng Yi and Ying Xin looked at each other silently: Our company
seems to be a bit poor, will our salaries be paid next month?

At Yifeng Group.

In the large outer room of R&D department, a courier holding a

bouquet of roses appeared suddenly in the office.

“Excuse me, which one is *A’Tong Mu?” The courier shouted at the
door. [T/N: Astro Boy]

“Me, me.” Astro hastily pulled the headphones off, stood up and
ran over.

“Hello, your bouquet of roses, please sign here.”

www.asianovel.com
 356 Report
“Thanks.” After Astro signed the paper, he held the bouquet across
the office.

The other bullied programmers: Dang! Work is so busy, but this

guy actually has the time to care about his girlfriend?!

After receiving the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of all single
programmers in the room, Astro carefully placed the bouquet on the
chair beside him.

*Pang Zi who was sitting in front of Astro turned around and asked,
“You chap, you’re gonna break up with your girlfriend?” [T/N: Fatty]

“Go away, *you crow’s beak, can’t you say something better?”
Astro glared at Fatty. [T/N: one who made inauspicious remark]

“You boy, there are only two situations where flowers will be sent,
first is Valentine’s day, the other is offending your girlfriend.” Fatty
laughed, “According to you sending flowers every once in a while, I
estimate it won’t be long before you separate ah.”

“You scram!”

“This brother isn’t cursing you, it’s because your old tricks aren’t
new, you have to find the root cause of the problem ah.” As a person
who had been through the same thing, Fatty clearly knew that
sometimes women can’t be easily coaxed, otherwise, how can he be
dumped every time?

“Yesterday was my wife’s birthday and I forgot about it because of

work, she was very angry and cried about it.” [T/N: wife-to-be]

“Then you must coax her properly ah.” Fatty’s tone was a bit
serious.

“Exactly, I’ll get off work on time today, I won’t work overtime no

matter what anyone say.” Astro said determinedly.

www.asianovel.com
 357 Report
“Don’t worry, as long as the server doesn’t collapse, us buddies
won’t call you back.” Fatty guaranteed.

Wife cried angrily?

Bai Chuan who usually ignored the sounds outside, suddenly

picked up some key words. He glanced at the office outside, stood
up, pushed the door and went out, going straight to the two people
who had just conversed.

“S-second young master?” The two were startled as they saw Bai
Chuan who suddenly appeared in front of them. Although their
locations were very close to Bai Chuan’s office with only a glass door
separating them, but Bai Chuan has always been completely shielded
from things that he wasn’t interested in. Based on their three years
of experience, even if the were doing karaoke, Bai Chuan won’t even
lift his head and look over, so why he suddenly came out today?

“Wife cried?” Bai Chuan asked.

“Ah, r-right ah.” Astro was bewildered, how can Second young
master suddenly concerned about my wife?

“Wife cried, what to do?” Bai Chuan asked, his face full of curiosity.

“…” The two looked at each other, and suddenly felt ‘when good
fortune comes the mind works well’. Finally, Astro asked cautiously,
“Second young master, did you also make your wife cry?”

“En.” Bai Chuan nodded.

Such a big news ah, suddenly, the sound of typing keyboards

stopped, and all of the onlookers quietly perked their ears up high.

“Cried, what should I do?” Seeing that Astro didn’t answer, Bai
Chuan continued to ask.

“Uh… cried, cried, have to… send flowers to coax.” Astro

www.asianovel.com
 358 Report
answered.

“Flowers?”

“Right, flowers.” With that said, Astro also showed the roses he
had just bought online that he planned to give to his girlfriend after
work.

Bai Chuan glanced at the bouquet in Astro’s hand, then reached

out his hand… and took it away.

“…”What kind of operation is this? Bai Chuan returned to his office

quickly before Astro could finally reacted, “Second young master,
that’s my…Uh… mmmm…!”

The two colleagues sitting in front and back of Astro, one

responded acutely by holding him down, while the other covered his
mouth. They pressed Astro down to ensure Bai Chuan returned to the
office before releasing his hands.

“What are you two doing? That’s my flower.” Astro said angrily.

“Don’t you have a conscience?” Said the colleague in front.

“Can’t you be sympathetic?” Said the colleague behind.

“How can I have no conscience and be unsympathetic?” Astro

flustered in grieve.

“How much is a bunch of flowers? You still want to get it back from
Second young master?”

“But… that’s the flower I want to give to my girlfriend ah.” Astro

explained.

“As a normal person, can’t you just buy it again?”

“Second young master has autism, but you still want him to go buy
himself? You ate the wedding sweets yesterday in vain ah.” The two

www.asianovel.com
 359 Report
of them spoke in succession while the other colleagues nodded in
agreement.

“I… I’ll just buy it again.” Astro felt wronged, he’s obviously robbed
of his flowers but still condemned by the others ah.

Resentful, Astro turned around and ordered a bunch of flowers

online. Humph! I ordered a better and expensive one this time.

Because of the situation that happened yesterday, Bai Zheng told

his assistant to arrange the driver to send Bai Chuan back home at 5
pm today, to ensure that he won’t be hindered by the rush hour.
Hence, when Mu Xiaoya came back from the studio, Bai Chuan was
already waiting at the door of the mansion while holding a beautiful
bouquet of roses in his hand. to him was Uncle Li who was in excited
tears, already rubbing his phone, ready to take a lot of pictures.

Who gave the idea to teach Bai Chuan how to give flowers?

Mu Xiaoya raised her eyebrows in surprise, then opened the door

and got off the car.

“Flowers, for you.” Mu Xiaoya just got off the car and Bai Chuan
already sent the flowers in front of Mu Xiaoya’s face.

“Why are you giving me flowers?” Mu Xiaoya deliberately asked.

“Coax you.”

Aiya, Second young master, how can such a thing be said

deliberately ah. Uncle Li suddenly felt that he had made a mistake.
He was excited that Second young master actually knew how to buy
flowers, but forgot that Second young master wouldn’t know how to
say romantic words ah.

Mu Xiaoya laughed and enjoyed the situation, “Thank you, I really

like it.”

www.asianovel.com
 360 Report
Aiya, luckily, Second young mistress didn’t care about it. In
addition to being happy, Uncle Li didn’t forget to record this scene
with his phone, and soon filled up the album he dedicated for Second
young master with abundance of new pictures.

Bai Chuan saw Mu Xiaoya smiled, and he soon didn’t feel the weird
feeling he felt this morning anymore, he smiled: As expected, flowers
are useful, coaxing is successful ah.

Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help but lowered her head and breathed in the
flower’s fragrance, but was instead surprised to find a greeting card
hidden in the rose petals. She unfolded it curiously, looked at it, then
glanced at Bai Chuan meaningfully, “To my most beloved… meow
sauce?” [T/N: Miao miao jiang]

Bai Chuan didn’t understand the meaning of Mu Xiaoya’s words,

hence he’s still looking at Mu Xiaoya with a smile. Uncle Li who stood
on the side immediately twitched his eyes after Mu Xiaoya read the
card’s content: What does this mean? Does Second young master
like someone else? No way ah.

“Second young mistress, the flower shop must have misplaced the
card.” Uncle Li knew his family’s Second young master couldn’t
explain it, so he hurriedly helped him.

Mu Xiaoya ignored Uncle Li and looked at Bai Chuan, “Who’s

‘meow sauce’?”

“Don’t know.” Bai Chuan shook his head.

“Who is the flower for?”

“The flower’s for you.”

“Where did the flowers come from?”

“I got it from the office.”

Because the market response of their shoes was better than

expected, so Fang Hui accelerated the promotion of the official
website of their studio and put a new store with only three shoes on
the Taobao homepage for now. On the homepage of the store, she
especially showed the studio which contains the physical photos of
the studio, address and telephone number. Thanks to Bai Zheng’s
decoration, the studio looks high-end and stylish, one look and
anyone can see the artistic style and strength of the studio, which
gave it a lot of bonus points.

The promotion on Taobao’s homepage was extremely powerful,

not even one afternoon had passed, their new store had received a
lot of clicks and bookmarks, they even sold a pair of shoes. This
broke Fang Hui into a state of joy, and as soon as she waved her
hand, the four of them went to the restaurant to celebrate, eating the
profits of ten pairs of shoes in one sitting.

“Fang Hui, come here and see, is this bracelet good looking?” At
tea time, Mu Xiaoya sat at the bar counter and browsed the official
website of a certain brand of jewellery store.

“Let me see.” Fang Hui walked over and glanced, “Oh? They have
a new model, this model is okay ah, it must be beautiful if worn.”

“Then I’ll buy this one.” Mu Xiaoya placed an order online and
chose to pick up from the store.

“Are you going to the store to pick up the goods? This store is quite
far from us, it’s better to let them deliver via courier ah, it’d only take
the same day to deliver within the same city.” Fang Hui suggested.

“I’m going to give it in a while ah.” Mu Xiaoya answered.

www.asianovel.com
 363 Report
“Give? To who?” Fang Hui curiously asked.

“Bai Chuan’s colleague’s girlfriend.”

“…isn’t this relation too far apart?” Fang Hui was a little
speechless.

“Yesterday, Bai Chuan took a bouquet of roses for me.” Thinking of

the bouquet yesterday, Mu Xiaoya wanted to laugh again, “I only
knew when I asked him, but apparently he took them from his
colleague that originally wanted to give it to his girlfriend.”

“…a-ahh.” Fang Hui was convinced if it’s Bai Chuan.

“So, ah, I have to return something for this colleague ah.” Although
Mu Xiaoya didn’t know exactly what happened yesterday, but she
knew that Bai Chuan took someone else’ thing anyway. Bai Chuan
didn’t understand human relations, so as his wife, and the recipient
of the flowers, she had to be the one to mend it. Hence she bought a
gift and prepared to go to Yifeng Group to apologize to the innocent
colleague who was robbed by Bai Chuan.

“It’s also tiring for you.”

“But I received the flowers ah.” And it was the first time Bai Chuan
gave her flowers.

“Isn’t it just a bouquet of roses?” Fang Hui couldn’t help but spit
out, “You’ve never seen the world, get married in a few years and
guaranteed you’d think twice before accepting those flowers.”

Mu Xiaoya smiled, of course she would receive the flowers, but if

the people who gave them was different, the meaning would also be
different.

After choosing the gift, Mu Xiaoya got off work in advance. The

shop she planned to get the bracelet from was in a mall not far from
Yifeng Group, so Mu Xiaoya went to get the bracelet first, then

www.asianovel.com
 364 Report
ordered chicken cutlets and cokes for 15 people in the fried chicken
shop outside the mall. She ordered the food to be sent to Yifeng
Group’s game R&D department, and then went to the Yifeng Group
with the bracelet alone.

Mu Xiaoya hadn’t been to Yifeng Group before, and because she

wanted to give Bai Chuan a surprise, she didn’t say anything in
advance, hence she was stopped by the front desk receptionist in the
lobby downstairs.

“We’re sorry, you can’t go up without an appointment in advance.”

The receptionist explained patiently.

“…” Mu Xiaoya felt a little helpless, it seemed that she can’t keep
this surprise. Taking out her phone, Mu Xiaoya was about to send a
message to Bai Chuan when she suddenly heard someone calling her
name.

“Miss Mu? Miss Mu, is it really you? Do you remember me? I’m
Wang Jing.” Wang Jing seemed to have just came in from outside,
holding a pile of documents and information in her hands. Seeing Mu
Xiaoya looking at her, she hurried to come over.

“Secretary Wang.” Mu Xiaoya nodded, of course she remembered

Wang Jing, although she had only seen this one side of hers, but how
can she easily forget about this ‘ex-wife’ of Bai Chuan?

“Are you here to find Second young master?” Wang Jing glanced at
the phone in Mu Xiaoya’s hand, “When Second young master is
working, he’d be very attentive and hardly react to outside voices so
he might not pick up your call, let me bring you to his office then.”

“Then… I have to trouble you.” Mu Xiaoya didn’t worry that Bai

Chuan wouldn’t answer her phone, but Mu Xiaoya was still willing to
go with her in order to keep her surprise for Bai Chuan.

Wang Jing took Mu Xiaoya through the entrance hall and entered

www.asianovel.com
 365 Report
the elevator.

“Second young master’s R&D department is on the 22nd floor.”

After pressing the floor button, Wang Jing started introducing to Mu
Xiaoya.

“I know, Xiao Chuan had told me before.” Mu Xiaoya replied.

“Oh, okay.” Wang Jing was silent for a moment, and suddenly, a
struggling expression appeared on her face. When she met Mu
Xiaoya downstairs, Wang Jing actually had wanted to ask her but she
didn’t know how to open her mouth, now there’s only the two of
them in the elevator, she felt that it’s a good time to talk. Wang Jing
struggled for a while and finally faced Mu Xiaoya to ask what had
been puzzling herself these days.

“Ms. Mu, can I ask you a question?”

“What is it?” Mu Xiaoya looked at Wang Jing strangely.

“It’s like this, I used to be Second young master’s life assistant,

and I had been getting along well with Second young master, but
after Second young master returned to work after his holiday, he
suddenly started to be resentful towards me. I want to know if I had
done something wrong which made Second young master unhappy.”
Although Wang Jing had been asking why Bai Chuan would suddenly
resent her, the expression in her eyes clearly revealed that she knew
that this matter had something to do with Mu Xiaoya.

She thought a lot during this time, and she discovered that Bai
Chuan’s changes should have happened since she first sent Mu
Xiaoya back to the Mu house.

“It’s not that Xiao Chuan suddenly started to resent you, but that I
told to him that I don’t want you to assist him anymore.” Mu Xiaoya
answered quite clear-cut and forward.

As expected, it was like this.

www.asianovel.com
 366 Report
“Why?” Wang Jing’s voice couldn’t help but filled with a trace of
anger, she didn’t know what she did to offend Mu Xiaoya until Mu
Xiaoya would treat her like this.

Her qualifications and record of service in Yifeng Group wasn’t

deep. When she first came to the company, her ability wasn’t strong
and her daily work pressure was very heavy. It wasn’t until she
worked part-time as Bai Chuan’s life assistant, taking care of all of
Bai Chuan’s needs in all of aspects in his work, that her pressure
could finally somewhat lessened.

Later, she slowly discovered that the chairman and general

manager cared about Bai Chuan very much, thus she thought, as
long as she can have a good relationship with Bai Chuan, she can
establish herself in Yifeng Group. Therefore, every time she picked
Bai Chuan up for work, she would continue to desperately chat with
Bai Chuan. But no matter what she said, Bai Chuan almost never
responded to her, thus she thought of another way.

She did a little trick and changed her form of address of Bai Chuan.
She found that no matter whether she called Bai Chuan as ‘Second
young master’, or by directly calling his name, Bai Chuan would
responded the same way to her. So in order to show how ‘close’ her
relationship was with Bai Chuan, she began to call Bai Chuan
affectionately with ‘Xiao Chuan’.

This method was very useful, just changing the form of address, it
distinguished her from the other assistants. She became the most
‘loved’ life assistant among all Bai Chuan’s life assistants, and
because of this, she made a positive change and her bonus for each
quarter was the highest in the general manager’s office.

But beside playing such petty trick, she thought that she didn’t do
anything unfair to Bai Chuan, she was sincerely good to Bai Chuan so
she really couldn’t understand why Mu Xiaoya did this.

Mu Xiaoya felt Wang Jing’s anger, and the emotions in her heart

www.asianovel.com
 367 Report
became somewhat complicated. After all, the reason why Wang Jing
burned Bai Chuan’s face in her last life was still unclear, so it was
also unclear if Wang Jing was truly being good to Bai Chuan or not. If
the fire in her last life was truly an accident, then Wang Jing was
innocent, and she would has no reason to blame her.

But no matter what the reason was, as a person who knows the
ending, Mu Xiaoya can’t like Wang Jing no matter how she sees her.

“Because I don’t like you.” Mu Xiaoya’s answer was simple and

direct. For people that she didn’t like, Mu Xiaoya has always been
impatient. She didn’t have much time in her life, and she didn’t want
to waste it on insignificant people.

“?!” Wang Jing’s face was full of disbelief, she apparently didn’t
expect Mu Xiaoya to say such a thing so straightforwardly.

“I apologize, I know this sentence isn’t very nice to hear, but I truly
don’t like you very much. You can think of this as a wife who doesn’t
like the appearance of a beautiful other woman beside her husband.”
The elevator arrived at the 22nd floor at this time and the door
opened with a smooth sound, “I can go in myself, thank you for
bringing me over.”

After saying this, Mu Xiaoya ignored Wang Jing and walked out the
elevator.

So it’s just like this, no matter if you did it deliberately in the last
life, you will have nothing to do with Bai Chuan in this life.

“Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?” Xiaoli at the front desk
politely asked Mu Xiaoya who walked out of the elevator.

“Hello, I’m here to find Bai Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya looked at the

environment in 22nd floor curiously, and she realized that there
wasn’t just one office in 22nd floor, if she didn’t ask, she wouldn’t
know which one is Bai Chuan’s.

www.asianovel.com
 368 Report
“Looking for Second young master? You are?” Xiaoli’s expression
became serious when she heard that she was looking for Bai Chuan.
Their family’s Second young master couldn’t be looked casually by
some stranger.

“I’m his wife.” Mu Xiaoya answered.

“Ah! You’re the Second young mistress?!” The girl’s expression

changed into a surprise in a flash, “I had one wedding candy that you
gave yesterday, they were particularly delicious!”

“One candy?” Mu Xiaoya said strangely, “I remembered that I put

around ten sweets in every bag ah.”

“Second young master didn’t give me the wedding sweets ah, I

only cadge one from the person in R&D department.” Xiaoli smiled
genially, Second young master only gave the wedding sweets to the
personnel in his office, he didn’t give them out to other people ah,
that one candy she ate wasn’t easy to get.

The person who spoke didn’t feel anything, but the person who
listened felt embarrassed, and the smile on Mu Xiaoya’s face couldn’t
be pasted on anymore. If she knew it would be like this, she would
buy more packages of wedding sweets. If she had it in her pocket
right now, wouldn’t it be a good time to give to some more people?

“Second young mistress, Second young master is in his office,

please go straight from here, Second young master is in the
innermost small office.” Xiaoli pointed to an office room on the left.

“Okay, thank you.” Mu Xiaoya followed her words and entered. Just
when she turned around, Xiaoli already announced her arrival in the
group chat, so when she stepped in from the door, fifteen bright
faces radiated by the computer’s blue screen all looked over in
unison.

That scene… how to say it? It’s kinda horrifying…

www.asianovel.com
 369 Report
“H…hello.” Mu Xiaoya’s greeting couldn’t help but tremble a bit.

“Hello, Second young mistress.” The fifteen people answered in

unison like they had a tacit agreement before, this scene was just
like when a military leader was inspecting and their subordinate
shouting out their slogan back.

“…” Mu Xiaoya smiled awkwardly and walked to Bai Chuan’s office

step by step under the eyes of everyone in the office.

TL NOTE:

What do you think about Wang Jing? Did she do it deliberately? It’s
a possibility, since she already has an impure reason for getting
closer with Bai Chuan. Even Grandma Bai had gotten mad to Bai
Chuan before, what’s more an insicere person like Wang Jing? (ﾟヘﾟ)

Chapter 38

Bai Chuan’f office was at the end of the aisle, his office and the
outside was separated by a transparent glass wall, so as long as he
looked up, he can see the outside situation. But Bai Chuan’s
concentration during work was unusual. He squinted his eyes as he
looked on the computer screen, his line of sight wouldn’t move
anywhere outside that box. At this time, if only he would look a bit
behind the screen, he would surely see Mu Xiaoya standing outside
the glass wall.

Mu Xiaoya didn’t enter the office directly, she only stopped right
across Bai Chuan’s desk, watching Bai Chuan quietly across the glass
wall. She has never seen what Bai Chuan looked like when he was
working; he was equally attentive as usual, but he has this calm and
confident temperament which made her stunned.

“Beep, beep beep…”

Bai Chuan’s phone suddenly rang, and a special prompt sound

caused him to immediately stop typing on the keyboard and picked
up the phone.

Mu Xiaoya: ‘Are you busy?’

It’s Xiaoya, Bai Chuan’s eyes brightened, and he quickly replied:

‘Not busy.’

Mu Xiaoya: ‘Then… lift your head up.’

Bai Chuan blanked, somewhat puzzled, but he raised his head

obediently. Then… he saw Mu Xiaoya standing outside his office
while waving at him.

www.asianovel.com
 371 Report
They’re… only separated by a transparent glass wall.

It’s Xiaoya, Xiaoya is outside the door, Xiaoya has come here to
see me.

“Xiaoya.” A big smile raised up from the edges of his mouth, his
whole person, like a black and white picture that was suddenly
painted with colors, instantly became vivid and alive.

Mu Xiaoya saw how Bai Chuan was flabbergasted in the same

place like a foolishly happy person, then finally thought to move out
of his office. He ran out in a hurry, and even hit the corner of the
desk when he was leaving, sweeping the documents all over the
place.

“Xiaoya.” Running in front of his wife, Bai Chuan took her wife’s
small hands very naturally, squeezing them in passing.

I’m holding her, it’s really Xiaoya. Thinking about it this way, the
smile on Bai Chuan’s face couldn’t be suppressed anymore and
became even more bright.

“Damn! What happened just now?”

“Did Second young master just ran out of his office?”

“So Second young master can run?”

“…”

The crackling sounds of keyboard sounded again in the office, all

gossips were about Bai Chuan.

“Why did you run so fast? Is it hurting?” Mu Xiaoya looked at Bai

Chuan’s left leg with a distressed expression. She heard the thudding
noise when he hit the corner of the table just now.

“It didn’t hurt then, but it hurts a bit now.” Bai Chuan answered.

www.asianovel.com
 372 Report
This rash action of him really made Mu Xiaoya felt distressed and
funny, but rather than this, the hot, burning eyes around them made
Mu Xiaoya uncomfortable. She gently shook Bai Chuan’s arm and
whispered, “Can you help me introduce?”

“Introduce what?” Bai Chuan didn’t understand.

“Introduce me to your colleagues here ah.”

Bai Chuan froze up for a moment, looked up at his surroundings,

and was immediately greeted by the fifteen excited faces shining
against the blue light.

How to introduce? Bai Chuan, who had never spoken to so many

people, was a little ignorant.

Is he baffled? Moreover, Bai Chuan had difficulty talking one-on-

one, and suddenly letting him talk to so many people at once would
make him more uncomfortable. Just when Mu Xiaoya started to
reflect whether she was being too difficult to Bai Chuan, she saw Bai
Chuan suddenly let go of her hand, turned back to his office, then
quickly hit something on his computer keyboard.

What is he doing? Mu Xiaoya was puzzled.

Bai Chuan quickly walked out of the office again with a relaxed
face and said happily, “The introduction is finished.”

“What?”

Mu Xiaoya just started feeling doubtful when the people in the

office suddenly stood up and greeted her in unison again, “Hello,
Second young mistress.”

Mu Xiaoya turned back subconsciously and saw a line of unusually

striking text floating on the computer screen nearest to her: ‘This is
my wife, Mu Xiaoya.’

www.asianovel.com
 373 Report
Eh??

Mu Xiaoya quickly went to another computer and found that the

display screen of each computer in the office was exactly the same
at this time. The white text on the blue background, Bai Chuan’s
introduction was floating on the screen: ‘This is my wife, Mu Xiaoya.’

Did Bai Chuan introduce me in this way? And, he just directly refer
me as his wife, this… is really simple and powerful, and also very
masculine ah…

“Hello everyone, I’m Mu Xiaoya, Bai Chuan’s wife. You guys can
just call me Xiaoya, please don’t call me Second young mistress, it
sounds a bit strange to hear.” Bai Chuan can introduce her with
texts, but Mu Xiaoya didn’t have this ability, so she can only
introduce herself once again.

A wave of good greetings came again inside the office.

“That’s right.” Mu Xiaoya turned back and whispered to Bai Chuan,

“Where did you get the rose from yesterday?”

“Astro gave it.” Bai Chuan answered.

“Astro?” Mu Xiaoya blanked for a while, isn’t this the name of that
cartoon…, “Who is Astro?”

“I-I’m Astro.” Astro, who wasn’t far from the two, heard his name
and quickly came out to claim it.

“You’re Astro?” Mu Xiaoya confirmed.

“It’s me.”

“I’m really sorry, Bai Chuan took your flowers home yesterday.” Mu
Xiaoya said apologetically.

“No, no, that flower, I it was my initiative to give it to Second

www.asianovel.com
 374 Report
young master.” Mu Xiaoya’s sudden apology left Astro a little caught
off guard, moreover, he wasn’t angry yesterday so he was somewhat
overwhelmed by this apology.

“I saw the card in the bouquet.” Mu Xiaoya pushed the gift box she
had been carrying to Astro, “This is just a bracelet I picked up at the
mall next door, please give it to your girlfriend as compensation for
yesterday’s present. I hope that Bai Chuan’s behavior yesterday
didn’t affect your appointment with her.”

“No, it’s… it really doesn’t matter. I later went to the florist and
ordered a bunch of flowers. It didn’t affect the date at all, we were
very happy, really.” Astro didn’t dare receive the gift as he pushed it
back vigorously.

“Just accept it ah, else I’d feel uncomfortable.”

“There’s really no need, really no need…”

“…” Pushing back and forth a few times, Mu Xiaoya saw Astro just
simply wouldn’t receive it, so she turned and looked at Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan didn’t understand human relationships, but he

understood Mu Xiaoya’s intention, isn’t she just asking Astro to
receive her gift? Bai Chuan took the gift box and placed it directly on
Astro’s table, then said stiffly, “For you.”

“!” Astro, who was just refusing it determinedly, immediately

stopped speaking and dared not push it anymore. He squeezed the
box for a while, then said shyly, “Then… then I will accept it.”

Mu Xiaoya was satisfied, she turned around and said to everyone,

“It’s my first time coming here but I didn’t bring any gifts to
everyone. I just saw a delicious-looking chicken cutlet in the mall just
now, so I ordered it for everyone and it should be delivered in a
while, I hope everyone can enjoy them together then.”

“Ordered chicken cutlet for us?”

www.asianovel.com
 375 Report
“I just ate wedding sweets yesterday, and today I still can have
chicken cutlet to eat, isn’t this simply too lucky?”

“Second young master’s wife is going to come often ah, our

mouths will be blessed a lot.” Didn’t know who suddenly shouted this
form of address out, but the perpetrator received an unceasing iron
slap back from the other colleagues.

“It’s okay.” Mu Xiaoya didn’t mind, she even laughed and said, “I
must come often later then.”

Everyone saw Mu Xiaoya didn’t seem to mind this title, even

seeming to like it, so the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.

“Second young master’s… cough, Xiaoya, do you want to try the

game developed by Second young master?” Someone suddenly
suggested.

“That’s right ah, that’s right, have you played it before?”

“I haven’t, actually, I don’t really know Bai Chuan’s work very well.
I asked it once, but his explanation was too professional and I can’t
seem to understand it.” Mu Xiaoya said embarrassedly, “Can you
guys tell me about it?”

“Can ah, of course we can, we actually are the one who’s

developing the game.”

“Here, here, you will know by playing it yourself.” Everyone led Mu

Xiaoya to the game experience area in the corner of the office filled
with white instruments arranged on one platform, the chair looked
like the one in a science fiction movie. There’s a frame on the side of
the chair, and on that frame hung up an AR glasses.

“Have you seen this before?” Astro asked, pointing to the AR

glasses.

“Seen it, there’s an experience area in the mall, is it a 5D game?”

www.asianovel.com
 376 Report
AR games have dedicated experience areas in major shopping malls
now, although Mu Xiaoya hadn’t played it before, but she had seen it
quite a lot of times.

“We’re much more advanced than those outside. The AR games

and videos outside can only repeat some simple game actions or
enter the screen as a bystander. The game we developed can control
the actions in the game more smoothly and naturally through some
connections, such as running, jumping, turning, and can be directly
synchronized into the game through our own actions. Our ultimate
goal is to study virtual games in the truest sense, of course, there are
still some gaps, but our technology has surpassed most of the same
type of games in the market. Come, you can directly experience it.”
After bragging about what Bai Chuan made, Astro then gave the
glasses to Mu Xiaoya to let her experience the game herself.

Mu Xiaoya put the AR glasses on herself.

“Second young master, you should play together.” Some people

handed another pair of glasses to Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya who had already put on her

glasses, then he took and put his glasses silently too.

Someone put two controllers in their hands and reminded Mu

Xiaoya, “This is the weapon in the game, you can just follow the
operation guide.”

Mu Xiaoya tried the feeling in her hands, and nodded in

acknowledgment.

“Load the game.” Astro told someone to switch on the game

machine.

When she first put the glasses on, Mu Xiaoya could only see a vast
expanse of white chequered screen, but with the start of the game, a
countdown of 5 to 1 started to play, and when it finished, the white

www.asianovel.com
 377 Report
screen in front of her turned into a city street. Mu Xiaoya raised her
head subconsciously, and her vision changed accordingly. She found
that she could do nothing except for turning her head to adjust her
perspective in the game.

Is this a virtual game?

“Tap tap…” there was footsteps approaching her, Mu Xiaoya

turned her head and saw a young man holding a double gun at the
alley behind her. The teenager wore Martin boots, a cool leather
jacket with a circle of bullets tied around his waist. He walked out of
the corner and walked to Mu Xiaoya two steps away before stopping.

Is this a shooting game? Mu Xiaoya looked down at her hand and

saw that, indeed, she was holding a gun.

“Second young master, say something ah, measure the audio

effect.” Everyone was staring at the computer screen, watching the
two people in the game and couldn’t help reminding Second young
master who had walked to his own wife but said nothing.

Is this… Bai Chuan?

“Xiao Chuan?” Mu Xiaoya probed and shouted.

“En.” There was no expression on the cool handsome boy’s face,

but the voice was indeed Bai Chuan’s.

“It’s really you?” Mu Xiaoya looked surprised, this game’s

simulation level was truly high, the sound felt as if Bai Chuan was
really in front of her.

“It’s me.” The cool handsome boy even nodded.

Suddenly a system message appeared in the lower left corner of

Bai Chuan’s field of vision: ‘Second young master, I’ll put two NPCs in
a moment, you have to shoot it dashingly in front of your wife ah.’

www.asianovel.com
 378 Report
Yu Qian finished sending the system message and didn’t wait for
Bai Chuan’s answer. After tapping several times on the keyboard,
two enemies armed with machine guns quietly began their ambush
to the couple who was standing and chatting in the middle of the
road. Because it was a man-machine mode, the NPC’s movement
was obviously quite awkward. At this time, as long as Bai Chuan lifted
his gun and shoot twice, he could immediately become the hero who
saves the beauty, however, what can be done if Bai Chuan from the
start until now was entirely looking at his wife and didn’t notice the
system’s message just now? Hence…

With two pitapat sounds, the couple fell to the ground instantly.
The big and bold word of ‘Big Failure’ was clearly shown in the
screen.

“…” The office fell into silence, fatty thumped on his own stupid
head that dared to act on his own with iron fists. Putting what NPC?
Isn’t it just messing with everything?

Mu Xiaoya silently stared at the body of ‘Bai Chuan’ for a while,

then took off her glasses and said awkwardly, “It seems that… we’re
attacked.”

“It’s okay, we can restart it again.” Astro said, this time he

changed the program and only equipped the NPCs with daggers, he
didn’t believe that they could lose.

“No need, I’m not very good at this kind of game.” Mu Xiaoya put
away the glasses, “But this game is really amazing, I really felt as if I
was inside the game.”

“Of course, this is the effect we want to pursue, we used…”

Everyone started explaining to Mu Xiaoya on top of each others’
mouths about the unique characteristics of the game, talking about
the problems they encountered during development, and now, their
‘striving to be the first and fearing to be the last’ appearance was
even more lively than reporters on the tail of a really hot news. Mu

Xiaoya could barely understand at the beginning, and later she could
only smile foolishly at the professional names popping up here and
there. Fortunately at this time, the chicken cutlet was just delivered.
Everyone swarmed to divide the cutlet, which resolved the
awkwardness just now.

Mu Xiaoya exhaled silently, secretly thinking: These people’s

ability to express things aren’t much stronger than my family’s Bai
Chuan ah.

“Second young master, Xiaoya, come on and eat.” Everyone was

eating the chicken cutlet, not forgetting the two.

“You guys eat ah, me and Bai Chuan will go out to eat in a while.”
Mu Xiaoya answered.

When everyone heard it, they all thought in unison: so, it’s a date,
then there’s no need to give them the cutlet ah.

Bai Chuan heard that Mu Xiaoya was going to take him out, his first
reaction was that it was yet the time to go off work, so he gently
pulled Mu Xiaoya’s sleeve and reminded her in a low voice, “It’s not
yet time to get off work.”

“Then, will you go or not?” Mu Xiaoya raised her eyebrows.

“…” Bai Chuan frowned, which is more important? Going off work

on time or wife calling me out? After struggling for a while, Bai Chuan
tried to continue and persuaded, “It’s not time to eat yet.”

“Then, do you go? Or not?” Mu Xiaoya still said this one sentence.

Being asked twice, is it because Mu Xiaoya felt upset? Bai Chuan

pursed his lips and decided after much difficulty, “…go.”

“Pfft~” Mu Xiaoya, who originally planned to wait for Bai Chuan to

leave work together, to not let down a certain person’s difficult-to-
make choice, she can only openly and justly bring this certain person

“Look, KFC, Grandma Bai definitely won’t let you eat ah. I hid it in

“I lined up to buy hamburger ah.”

“You’re late.”

“You’re so annoying! Do you want to eat or not?!” Young girl Ya

for a hamburger.

“Where are we going to eat?” Bai Chuan held a special attachment

to his first time skipping work.

“It’s not yet the time to eat, let’s go shopping for a while.” Mu
Xiaoya replied casually while driving the car.

“I already said it, it’s not the time to eat yet.” Bai Chuan, who had
his rules disrupted, wrinkled his nose uncomfortably, he couldn’t help
but whispered a little.

“…” Was I being complained? Mu Xiaoya felt novel receiving a

complain from Bai Chuan, so she deliberately didn’t reply, driving the
car in silence, trying to see what Bai Chuan would say next.

“We should eat after half past six.” Mu Xiaoya decided to help Bai
Chuan this time.

“It’s only five o’clock now.” The company’s working time was until
half past five, but they already came out now, so they will completely
be able to make it on time.

After saying these three sentences, Bai Chuan was quiet for two
minutes, then he repeated these exact sentences again.

“It’s not the time to eat yet… we should eat after half past six…
it’s only five o’clock now.” Bai Chuan murmured these three
sentences back and forth quietly, with an interval of two to three
minutes, as if he was set with a single playback software, he
repeated it tirelessly.

At first, Mu Xiaoya didn’t feel annoyed, and instead felt that he was
a little cute because Bai Chuan didn’t like talking on ordinary days.

www.asianovel.com
 382 Report
But at the same time, she kept thinking that he’s like a little old lady,
which looked amusingly tense.

However, as the time spent talking these exact sentences grew

longer, Mu Xiaoya slowly realized that something was wrong. Bai
Chuan’s repeated words wasn’t spoken because of his desire to
speak, but that it was because he can’t control himself. It was like
that night when he kept writing in his notebook that he must go
home at six o’clock, it was because of the obsession caused by his
inability to adapt after his rules had been forcibly disrupted. This
obsession requires him to return to the ‘right’ path before he can
calm down again.

Although the situation wasn’t serious this time, after all, Bai Chuan
didn’t get triggered, he was only slightly uneasy, but Mu Xiaoya knew
that her behavior today still made him uncomfortable.

Mu Xiaoya parked her car in the underground parking lot of a

shopping mall in silence, turned off the engine, and then turned her
head to look at Bai Chuan who was still muttering like a broken
record without him knowing it himself. She opened her mouth and
asked, “What time is it now?”

“It’s 5.20, there’s still ten minutes before work is finished.” Bai
Chuan’s subconscious mind still thinking about how he didn’t get off
work on time.

“When did we come out of Yifeng?” Mu Xiaoya continued to ask.

“4.50” He got off work forty minutes early.

“Thirty minutes, half an hour, you have been repeating that the
time has not yet arrived and that you shouldn’t be off work.” Mu
Xiaoya paused for a moment, then asked, “Are you angry with me?
Blaming me for taking you out?”

“No.” Bai Chuan shook his head without thinking, although he still

www.asianovel.com
 383 Report
shouldn’t come out early, but he’s not angry ah.

“Then why do you keep talking about it? If you keep talking about
it, then doesn’t it mean that you’re not happy? If you’re not happy,
then that means you’re blaming me, and if you’re blaming me, that
means I did something wrong. But I asked you clearly just now and
you agreed to come out with me yourself, and now you’re blaming
me when we’re already out?” Mu Xiaoya’s expression was a little sad,
this kind of sadness wasn’t because Bai Chuan harping on her, but it
was because she saw Bai Chuan being like this.

“I… I’m not angry, not blaming you, I… I…” How to explain this?
Bai Chuan was anxious, worried until his whole face flushed red.

He’s really not angry, he just felt a bit of discomfort. When he

couldn’t adapt to something new, he couldn’t help repeating the
same thing over and over, this was Bai Chuan’s condition, Bai Chuan
really couldn’t control himself.

Bai Chuan clearly knew all the characteristics of his own condition,
he had seen many doctors since he was a child, he also had read a
lot of books in this area, he can even accurately recite the various
reactions that autistic people would have during their onsets,
however, whenever this symptoms appears, his brain would be
muddled. His right brain would be telling him that he should stop
repeating those sentences, but on the other hand, his left brain
would act as if it had its own initiative.

Bai Chuan sometimes hated the rationality of his right brain. When
he was triggered, he even wished that his right brain’s reasoning
would cease to exist. Like this, he wouldn’t feel guilty every time he
came back to his senses, he wouldn’t be afraid of the possibility that
Xiaoya would loathe him either.

“I clearly wanted to make you happy by going to the company to

find you. Since you blame me, then I won’t go to find you anymore.”

www.asianovel.com
 384 Report
Mu Xiaoya was still talking, and every word she said made Bai
Chuan felt uncomfortable. This discomfort gradually prevailed,
helping his right brain to suppress the behavior of the left brain, and
Bai Chuan’s urge to repeat those sentences gradually eased down.

“I… I don’t blame you.” If Xiaoya feels sad hearing it, then he will
stop this behavior in the future, at least, he won’t make any noise.

Yes, just don’t say anything, just repeat it inside, this way, Xiaoya
won’t find out about it. Or just go home and write it in the notebook,
in short, as long as it’s not discovered by Xiaoya then it’s okay. If I’m
not discovered, then Xiaoya wouldn’t hate me.

“I won’t do it again in the future.” After finding a solution, Bai

Chuan spoke with a lot of confidence, “I’m not angry, you have to
come and find me again.” He likes it when Mu Xiaoya went to find
him, likes it when he raised his head and suddenly finds her standing
there, Bai Chuan even felt that maybe in the future, he would
subconsciously look outside from time to time when he’s in the office.

Mu Xiaoya gazed at Bai Chuan who vowed in all sincerity, her heart
felt complicated: Have I guided him correctly?

Professor Feng said that an autistic person’s life path is extremely

simple, they don’t do socializing, living by themselves, and even
studying things alone. Their daily life’s trajectory is like a single
straight line, and there will never be forks or turns, therefore, once
they’re determined that their path was suddenly disrupted, they
would easily become uneasy. They will express their uneasiness and
urgency through actions, words, and all other behaviors that they can
use. If the level of anxiety is too great and reached a certain point,
their condition can easily get triggered to a break out.

Bai Chuan became anxious because he can’t go home on time,

leaving work early and not eating within the determined time, but
this level of anxiety still wasn’t enough to make him troubled,
although it can’t be helped that it made him lose control by

www.asianovel.com
 385 Report
repeatedly saying the same things over and over. He needed to
relieve his uneasiness through this repetition, as it was actually a
method of his self-regulation. To put it more seriously, he was
actually treating himself.

However, right now, Bai Chuan was willing to stop this treatment
because of her few words.

Is it right to do it like this? Mu Xiaoya was hesitant. On one hand,

she hoped that Bai Chuan can become better, even a little bit of
progress was needed, but on the other hand, she didn’t want Bai
Chuan to feel uncomfortable.

“I know you didn’t do it on purpose, you just can’t control it right?”

In the end, Mu Xiaoya just couldn’t harden her heart facing Bai
Chuan’s conscience-stricken expression.

“En.” Bai Chuan heavily nodded his head, his face was as if he was
relieved of a heavy load.

Xiaoya understood me.

“Then, how about we make an exchange?” Mu Xiaoya suggested.

“Exchange?”

“Yeap.” Mu Xiaoya wanted Bai Chuan to become better, but she

couldn’t bear seeing him felt uncomfortable, so she wanted to give
Bai Chuan some compensation, “If something similar happens in the
future, for example, if I do something that makes you uncomfortable,
then you can ask me for a request. As long as it’s within my ability, I
will agree with whatever you ask of me. In exchange, you can’t talk
like that with me anymore. Uh… if you really can’t endure it, then,
you can’t repeat it more than three times.”

Mu Xiaoya held three fingers up so it can be seen by Bai Chuan

clearly. She hoped that this exchange would relieve some of Bai
Chuan’s anxiety.

www.asianovel.com
 386 Report
Bai Chuan stared blankly at the three fingers in front of him while
his brain began to analyze the meaning within Mu Xiaoya’s words:
Xiaoya said that if a similar situation occurs in the future, then Xiaoya
will agree with one of my request? Just thinking about it, the
restlessness in his heart eased a lot.

After the understanding dawned on him, Bai Chuan decided to give

it a try, so he couldn’t wait to ask, “Then… can I make a request
now?”

“You can, what do you want me to do?” Although Bai Chuan spent
thirty minutes talking in repeat today rather than three times, but as
their first ‘interest exchange’, Mu Xiaoya didn’t mind being generous.
Moreover, she was also curious about what Bai Chuan would ask of
her.

“Smile.”

“?”

“I want you to be happy.” Bai Chuan didn’t like Mu Xiaoya’s

appearance right now; her eyes were as gloomy as the fog he saw
when he was jogging in the morning, he didn’t like it.

Hearing this, Mu Xiaoya actually wanted to cry, but in order to

keep her promise, she still forced herself to smile as best as she can.
She didn’t look in the mirror, but she must force her expression not
to be unsightly right now, because she had to convey the warmth
inside her heart to Bai Chuan through her smile.

And at the moment when Mu Xiaoya’s smile unfolded, Bai Chuan

found that his urge to repeat those sentences was just like the fog
after the sun rises; it all disappeared without a trace.

Because of this matter, the two was so delayed that it was almost
six by the time they arrived at the restaurant upstairs. They then
took their number, ordered some food, and waited for the dishes to

www.asianovel.com
 387 Report
be served. Mu Xiaoya looked at the time, and it was exactly 6.30, it
accidentally fit with Bai Chuan’s set of time.

Mu Xiaoya looked at Bai Chuan who showed no reaction in the

whole process and became unsure for a moment. Was this his own
‘exchange’ function, or was it because Bai Chuan had been eased
down because they’re eating at the specific time?

But today, she did not intend to continue to investigate him, Bai
Chuan’s condition needs to be guided patiently, and Mu Xiaoya felt
that she had guided enough today.

“When we finished eating, I’ll take you to a place.”

“En.”

After dinner, Mu Xiaoya took Bai Chuan to the third floor on the
East Area where it was concentrated with shoe stores in the mall.
This was also Mu Xiaoya’s main purpose of coming to this mall,
because one of the store in this mall was Fang Hui’s uncle’s. Inside,
there were the three shoes that she designed.

When they walked into the specialty store, she simply swept
around and Mu Xiaoya quickly found the three shoes she designed,
which were placed in the center area, the new hot-sales area.

“Xiao Chuan, look.” Mu Xiaoya picked up one of the shoes and

showed it to Bai Chuan.

“The one you drew.” Bai Chuan didn’t disappoint Mu Xiaoya and
recognized the shoes at a glance. This was the one she drew when
they were in the cherry orchard, sitting by the creek, the day when
they encountered a heavy thunderstorm.

“En.” Mu Xiaoya said with a little pride, “I watched the game you
developed today, so I will show you the shoes I designed. This is a
brand co-founded by Fang Hui and me, the logo of our studio.” That
said, Mu Xiaoya showed the soles to Bai Chuan. On the white soles,

www.asianovel.com
 388 Report
there’s a small circular pattern, which was an artistically processed
pattern of the two English letters H and Y. It looked like a flower from
afar, but when they looked closer, it would reveal the two letters.

“H is Fang Hui’s Hui, Y is…”

“Xiaoya’s Ya.” Bai Chuan replied.

“That’s right.”

“Customers, do you like this shoes?” At this time, the store clerk
came over and glanced at the shoes on both of their hands and
immediately started promoting, “These are the shoes jointly
designed by our company and H&Y studio. It’s the new model for this
year. The shoes looks simple and elegant, and it’s very comfortable if
worn. The upper fabric is very breathable, and even if one wear it in
the summer, it won’t feel suffocating. These shoes are selling very
well in our store, do you want to buy a pair back?”

“No need…”

“Yes.” Bai Chuan interrupted Mu Xiaoya’s words, “I want this pair,

this pair, also this pair, I want them all.”

Bai Chuan pointed out three pairs in a row, each pair was designed
by Mu Xiaoya, he remembered every pair of shoes designed by Mu
Xiaoya in the cherry garden that day.

“Okay, what size do you want?” After selling so much, the

welcoming enthusiasm of the store clerk became more eager than
before.

“A pair for size 36, 37, 43, and 44, two pairs for size 45.” Bai Chuan
said a series of numbers.

“That… which size on which model?” The clerk wanted to confirm.

“I want every model.”

www.asianovel.com
 389 Report
“What you mean is… you want to buy three pairs for each shoe
size?” The clerk asked again, she didn’t dare to believe her own ears.

“Six pairs for size 45.” Bai Chuan was afraid that the clerk would
make a mistake.

“Are… are you sure?” how can this still be called buying, it’s a
wholesale ah…

“Sure.” Bai Chuan nodded affirmatively, he never miscalculated

any number before.

“Bai Chuan, what are you doing…” Mu Xiaoya was shocked and
speechless since Bai Chuan started speaking out numbers after
numbers, she smiled awkwardly to the clerk and decisively pulled Bai
Chuan aside, “Why do you buy so many shoes? And, even if you want
shoes, you can just tell me ah, why do you spend so much money to
buy that much?” Fang Hui asked for several pairs of their shoes from
the factory yesterday and piled them in the studio. If Bai Chuan liked
these shoes, she can just take some from the pile without having to
spend a dime.

“Want to buy, want to support.” Bai Chuan firmly said.

“Then, you don’t have to buy so much ah, it’s alright if you just buy
a pair.”

“Give people.” Bai Chuan said again.

“Give who?” Mu Xiaoya was curious, Bai Chuan can actually take
the initiative to buy something to give people.

“You said it, when your studio officially opens then you will give
father, mother and brother.” Bai Chuan thought that Mu Xiaoya must
have forgotten again.

“…” Mu Xiaoya didn’t forget ah, she did say that she would give
them her shoes when they were having their breakfast that day, but

www.asianovel.com
 390 Report
Mu Xiaoya promised to custom-make their shoes instead of sending
these ‘two to three hundred yuan a pair’ of these mass-produced
shoes ah.

“Then you don’t have to buy so many, for three people, it’s enough
to just buy three pairs ah.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“Six people.” Bai Chuan counted, “My parents, your parents,

brother, and also me.”

In the end, Mu Xiaoya swiped Bai Chuan’s card delightfully, bought

18 pairs of shoes that she designed, and then returned to the
mansion to give the Bai couple and Bai Zheng three pairs each.

Everyone in Bai family: …our family’s Xiao Chuan is so generous,

giving us three pairs at once.

Author’s Note:

After they returned home, Uncle Li brought two servants to hold

the several boxes of shoes and followed Bai Chuan to give the
presents one by one.

The first one was Bai Zheng, who heard the knock on his door and
opened it.

Bai Chuan: “Shoes, Xiaoya designed it, give you.” boom boom
boom, three pairs in a row stuffed into Bai Zheng’s hands before he
left.

Bai Zheng who held the three pairs of shoes: …

The second one, the Bai couple.

Bai family’s couple was pleasantly surprised: “Xiao Chuan, why are
you here?”

Bai Chuan: “Shoes, Xiaoya designed it, give you… both.” Then a

series of six pairs were given to the couple who were in their
pyjamas.

The Bai couple: …

Bai Chuan went back to the bedroom, asking for a praise: “I gave
them all.”

Mu Xiaoya, who just came out of the shower: …you sent the shoes
in the middle of the night?

Every morning, when Bai Chuan came back after running, Mu

Xiaoya would then wake up. After she washed up, Bai Chuan would
be about ready as he waited for her inside the room to go downstairs
together for breakfast.

Mu Xiaoya walked inside the changing room when she saw Bai
Chuan sitting on the chair while seriously tying up his shoelaces.
There was an empty shoebox at his feet, the huge H&Y logo on it was
very eye-catching.

Mu Xiaoya smiled, walked over and said, “Wearing these shoes,

you should match them with a light-colored clothes.” Then Mu Xiaoya
went to Bai Chuan’s wardrobe and pondered for a while, quickly
selected a gray T-shirt and a pair of light-colored washed jeans
before turning around and handed them to Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan looked at the blue shirt he was wearing and obediently
took the clothes Mu Xiaoya gave, put down the shoes that he was
just going to wear, and got up to change.

Bai Chuan’s appearance was handsome, so he won’t look ugly

wearing any clothes, but Mu Xiaoya likes seeing Bai Chuan wearing
light-colored clothes, especially when he was reading a book at the
balcony with the sun shining around him, it was as if the time
stopped and softened for him.

“The clothes aren’t worn properly.” Bai Chuan’s T-shirt wasn’t

smooth and there was a crumple around his waist. Mu Xiaoya
reached out and helped to straighten them, but because of the
difference in height, her nose was right at the position of Bai Chuan’s
collarbone, and when she pulled on the clothes, she can smell the

www.asianovel.com
 393 Report
fragrance of shower milk coming from him.

Bai Chuan just came back after running, and although he just took
a shower, the skin around his neck was still slightly red.

“You just ran, are you tired?” Mu Xiaoya asked softly. When she
first took Bai Chuan to run, Bai Chuan looked just like he had nothing
left to live for, and it left a deep impression on her.

“Not tired.” Bai Chuan lightly shook his head, in fact, as early as a
month ago, he had adapted to the intensity of running, and also
found that after running every morning, his mental state became
much better.

“You don’t hate running anymore?”

“Don’t hate.”

“Then you have to keep at it oh, strive to develop abdominal

muscles.” Mu Xiaoya talked casually, but after talking, her eyes
moved downward involuntarily, looking at Bai Chuan’s abdomen. Her
brain visualized the picture of Bai Chuan’s abdominal muscles after
taking off his clothes, even just thinking about it had made her eyes
twinkling.

“En.” Bai Chuan earnestly promised.

With just running, how can he develop abdominal muscle? Mu

Xiaoya was also just arbitrarily saying things, but hearing Bai Chuan’s
serious promise still made her felt good, “Put on the shoes, let’s go
for breakfast.”

The two came downstairs and went to the dining room. After they
said hello to the Bai couple, Mu Xiaoya vaguely felt that there was
something wrong with the dining room today. When she was still
wondering about it, Bai Zheng walked in dressed with a western-style
suit. Mu Xiaoya looked at Bai Zheng, and her eyes immediately
shined, suddenly realizing what was wrong just now.

www.asianovel.com
 394 Report
What’s wrong with today was that the Bai couple was dressed too
casually.

On weekdays, Father Bai and Bai Zheng would always wear suits
and leather shoes, but Father Bai today was wearing casual sport
clothes instead, and the always donning exquisite attire Mother Bai
was now only wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans.

“Pa, you won’t go to the company today?” Bai Zheng glanced at

his parents and asked while sitting down.

“I have an appointment to play golf with Guo Dong today.” Bai

Guoyu said.

“Didn’t you have the appointment with him in the company at

ten?” Bai Zheng asked with curiosity.

“It’s not an important meeting, I can just discuss it while playing

golf.” Bai Guoyu said, his eyes as if they were sweeping under the
table.

Bai Zheng followed his father’s eyes and glanced under the table.
With just one glance, he understood what’s going on and suddenly
showed a look of disgust.

Golf? The golf clubs are about to rust at home, and the one who
has never gone out to play golf suddenly changed the meeting place
to the golf course just to find an opportunity to wear the new shoes.

Childish!

Bai Zheng moved his eyes away in disgust and fiercely grabbed a
sandwich before biting it ruthlessly. Abandoning official duties
because of private interest, furthermore, there were only two days
left before the weekend, can’t he wait for the weekend to show off?

“Xiaoya, the shoes you designed are really beautiful and versatile
with clothes.” Li Rong stood up and showed her daughter-in-law

www.asianovel.com
 395 Report
directly, “Look, doesn’t it match with my clothes?”

“En.” Mu Xiaoya was a little embarrassed to be praised, these kind

of style was originally very versatile anyway.

“Not only is the style beautiful, it’s also very comfortable to wear,
the soles are soft and light, and it’s comfortable to walk with this.
This shoes’ quality is no less than those of famous brands.”

“It’s good if you like it.”

“Xiao Chuan, look, mom wears the same pair of shoes as the one
you’re wearing.” When Bai Chuan walked in, Li Rong saw the shoes
he wore at a glance. Although the shoes were all sent by Xiao Chuan,
but there were 3 pairs of shoes in total, for her to wear the same kind
of shoes with Xiao Chuan on the same day, it was like a rare tacit
understanding between them. Her husband didn’t have such a tacit
understanding, her eldest son didn’t even wear Xiaoya’s shoes.

“En.” Bai Chuan glanced at her mother’s shoes and nodded in

recognition. This little hum made Li Rong’s smile suddenly turned
brighter.

On the side, Mu Xiaoya was already embarrassed and could only

bury her head to eat in focus. Although she understood the joy of the
Bai family for receiving gifts from Bai Chuan, but this kind of childlike
praise and attention was really embarrassing. Especially with these
few people here, when they go out, everyone of them were all
prestigious people in Yun City ah.

Although Mu Xiaoya hadn’t been in the Bai family for a long time,
she already found that there was an unwritten rule in the Bai family,
that was, when the family eats together, as long as there’s no special
circumstances, even if someone finishes eating in advance, they
won’t take the initiative to leave the dining table. They will slow down
their eating speed until the last person finished with their food, and
then get up and leave together. And usually, the last person to finish

www.asianovel.com
 396 Report
eating was Bai Chuan.

Throughout the breakfast, Bai Zheng was very silent, he waited

until Bai Chuan had eaten almost all of his meal before he said,
“House, I’ve bought it.”

House? Is Bai Zheng going to move out? Mu Xiaoya looked

curiously, then found that Bai Zheng was looking at her while saying
this sentence.

“It’s in the area near your studio, compound penthouse, renovated,

the renovation time had taken around one year already, can directly
stay there.”

“Why… did you buy near my studio?” Mu Xiaoya asked in a daze.

“The location is good, it’s not far from Yifeng so it’s also convenient
for Xiao Chuan to commute from there.” Bai Zheng said, “The
developer of this district is a friend of mine, he kept this house for
himself so the interior inside wouldn’t need to be rebuilt again. But
you have to pick up the furniture yourself.” After saying this, Bai
Zheng took out a purple card from his pocket and handed it to Mu
Xiaoya.

“This is the shopping card of Meihe Furniture Mall, there’s a million

in it, you and Xiao Chuan can go there on weekends to pick the
furniture.

“Is the house bought for us?” Mu Xiaoya was surprised.

“Of course ah. Didn’t we promise you before? When you get
married, we’ll buy you a new house so you can move there if you
want.” Li Rong said.

Although Mu Xiaoya never mentioned it, they knew that Mu Xiaoya

wasn’t exactly comfortable living in the mansion. After she came
back every day from work, besides eating, she would spend most of
her time on the second floor with Bai Chuan, the Bai family of course

www.asianovel.com
 397 Report
would notice it. Furthermore, they had promised Mu Xiaoya and Bai
Chuan to let them live alone when they got married. Professor Feng
also suggested that they should give Bai Chuan a more comfortable
environment, and so, the Bai couple discussed it with Bai Zheng to
prepare this house.

“But… there’s no need to buy a new house ah. If we’re going to

move out, we can just move inside the family’s compound,
grandma’s house is also empty ah. Moreover, Xiao Chuan and I are
familiar with that place.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“That place is given to you, and we also reserve a place for you
here, just live wherever you want to live.” Li Rong said with a smile.

“That’s right, you will be very busy at the early stage of your
business, if there’s a house nearby, wouldn’t it be more convenient?”
Bai Guoyu was also someone who built his business from scratch, so
he knew the hardship of starting a new business. Although the Bai
family didn’t lack the money that Mu Xiaoya earned, but he
appreciated Mu Xiaoya’s determination and ambition to create her
own brand, especially after wearing the shoes designed by Mu
Xiaoya.

“Then… the shopping card isn’t needed, we will buy the furniture
ourselves.” Mu Xiaoya knew that she couldn’t reject the house, so
she has to give at least the card back.

“Furniture, just count it as my housewarming gift for you.” Bai

Zheng said with a blank expression.

“But, the house…” Mu Xiaoya whispered, she was really

embarrassed to receive more.

“The house was my parents’ gift, I only give some furniture.” Bai
Zheng saw Mu Xiaoya wanted to reject it, he immediately frowned
and said, “Or, do you prefer I give you another house?”

www.asianovel.com
 398 Report
“No, no… it’s not like that… thanks, brother.” Mu Xiaoya was
afraid that Bai Zheng would really buy another house, she was
scared and hurriedly put away the shopping card.

Mu Xiaoya discovered that with the Bai family, you can’t be polite
at all. The more polite you are, the more gifts you’ll receive.

After breakfast, everyone went out together neatly. Bai Zheng and
Bai Chuan went to the company, Bai Father went to the golf course,
while Bai Mother invited her girlfriends to go out, thus the four Bai
family went out the door together.

Uncle Li walked over with Bai Father’s golf club and looked at the
family’s attire, and with great eyesight, he expressively
complimented them, “Master, Madam, Second young master, what
you are wearing today, whether it’s clothes or shoes, one glance and
everybody would know that you are family ah.”

Bai Father and Mother suddenly beamed with joy.

“Humph!”

A cold hum came from Bai Zheng in his suit.

Bai Zheng’s work efficiency was very high. He just mentioned the
house in the morning, and not long after he arrived at the office, he
already asked his assistant to send the property certificate. Mu
Xiaoya looked over and found that the real estate certificate was
written with the names of her and Bai Chuan’s names.

“So it’s not your or Bai Chuan’s name only, but the names of you
two together.” Fang Hui looked at the property certificate and said,
“The Bai family had thought a lot ah.”

With the Bai family’s financial resources, it was entirely possible to

buy a house for Mu Xiaoya, but they did not do so. They specifically

www.asianovel.com
 399 Report
wrote the names of Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan on the certificate, with
this, they were telling Mu Xiaoya that they put her and Bai Chuan in
the same position.

“Right ah, I didn’t expect it.” Mu Xiaoya felt warm in her heart.

If it’s only her name that was written in the certificate, Mu Xiaoya
would turn around and transfer the house to Bai Chuan, but now that
the names of the two of them written in this one certificate together,
Mu Xiaoya won’t do anything. The Bai family’s intention was so
obvious that if she did something more, it would instead become
hypocritical.

“This house’s size is more than 130 square meters, and it also has
a loft, there must be a lot of rooms in it. Go back and reserve one for
me, if I work late in the future, I can just go to your house to crash
down.” Fang Hui joked.

“If you’re not embarrassed becoming a light bulb, then you’re

welcomed in my house.” Mu Xiaoya gave her a glance. [T/N: a third
party, disturbing a couple’s lovey-dovey moment]

“Classmate Mu Xiaoya, I find that since you married into a wealthy

family, you’re becoming more and more stingy. In the past, you’re
clearly willing to split the 1.5 meter bed with me, but now you’re not
willing to spare me a bed in that 130 square meters?”

“Who made me someone with a family? If I’m still single, let alone
a bed, I’ll give you even the house ah.” Mu Xiaoya said generously.

“Tut!” After joking, Fang Hui suggested, “After lunch, why don’t I
accompany you to see your new house?”

“No way… I want to wait until the weekend and go see it with Bai
Chuan.” Mu Xiaoya said.

“Okay, then I won’t disturb you guys, I’m just going to wait until
the interior is done.” Fang Hui understandingly nodded. Wedding

house ah, compared with girlfriends, naturally should go with

“If you’re fine on the weekend, you can come along too.” Mu
Xiaoya invited her.

“Why?”

“Don’t you always want to see Bai Chuan?” Mu Xiaoya smiled.
