MTL - Rebirth of the Little Mute-Chapter 6
Mu Xiao only returned home in the evening, and his father was still dealing with company affairs in the living room when he entered. Seeing him coming back, he immediately took off his glasses and asked him where he had been.
Mu Xiaoke just went to the nearby People's Park for a walk. He didn't understand why his father was so serious.
Of course, Mu Xiangyang could see that his son had a lot of doubts. To be honest, he also had a lot of questions as a father, "Did you run into Rong Yanzhe when you went out?"
Mu Xiaoke nodded, but he was very displeased with Rong Yanzhe's naive behavior of complaining. If he can't be caught, he will speak ill of him to his father. Sure enough, Rong Yanzhe and Mu Kai are the same kind of people.
"Is there any misunderstanding between him and you? He came to our house several times, and you were very resistant. Dad didn't quite understand what happened. You and him should have only met a few times. Did he bully you? ?”
Mu Xiaoke couldn't believe that he would hear his father ask him if he had been bullied, why he had never received such a greeting before, was it because he had a new life, or was it because everything that happened here was his imagination, that's why he got such a greeting? gentle.
"He didn't bully me..." Mu Xiaoke gestured, "I'm not used to getting along with this kind of person." Mu Xiaoke would not tell the things of his previous life, so he could only perfunctory Mu Xiangyang like this.
"It's fine if you don't have one." Mu Xiangyang looked at Mu Xiaoke, as if he wanted to say something more, but seeing that Mu Xiaoke's pants were dirty, he didn't want to keep him anymore, "Go change your clothes and get ready for dinner."
For the remaining half a month, Mu Xiaoke lived happily. His father was very busy with work, his elder brother had to live in school, and there was only him and a caring nanny at home. This gave him unprecedented freedom and privacy. He used this time to organize his mother's belongings, packed out all the things he could use, and put them in a storage box with a combination lock on the bookshelf.
A few days before the first year of high school, his father suddenly brought back a doctor during working hours.
Mu Xiaoke was unprepared. As soon as the other party saw him, he began to introduce himself, "Hello, I am Dr. Liang Lu from Zhengyang Psychological Consulting Firm."
Dr. Liang Lu looked very young, with a delicate appearance, and her shallow smile made it difficult to refuse her greetings.
Mu Xiaoke obediently nodded and said hello, a little confused about the arrival of the other party.
"Before... at Rong's house, do you remember meeting Dr. Xu? He helped you cure your throat before." His father was a little embarrassed, obviously hoping that he would accept this arrangement and receive psychological counseling.
"Doctor Xu suggested that you talk to a psychiatrist. Dad always remembers it, but he doesn't know how to say it. Now that school is about to start, I think about it, and I still hope you have a good talk with the doctor before school starts."
Mu Xiaoke looked at his father, then at the doctor in front of him, and finally agreed. He grew up with a psychiatrist since he was a child, even after he married in his previous life, he also saw a psychiatrist. The last time he lost his voice again, Rong Yanzhe seemed to be insane at that time, and Mu Xiaoke actually secretly He laughed at Rong Yanzhe so much, he was not the only one who should see a psychiatrist.
Mu Xiangyang found a quiet room for his son and the doctor. The doctor started very calmly and kindly guided him to find out the psychological crux.
Finally, the doctor frowned and went out. Mu Xiaoke followed her and listened to the results with her father.
"Xiao Ke does have a relatively obvious stress syndrome. Although Xiao Ke didn't tell me the story, I can feel that the things that make him fear are still around him. He lacks a sense of security. It is best to rest for a while."
"Can I go to class then?"
"There is no problem so far, but be careful not to experience the same stimulus again, otherwise the situation will be more serious."
"Mr. Mu, if you can, give your child more attention, give him more affirmation and encouragement, parents' care is more effective than many drugs."
The doctor left with a few suggestions.
Mu Xiaoke sat with his father, but his father didn't speak for a long time. Mu Xiaoke doesn't think that such a few simple words can change his father, but at least it can make his father feel a deeper sense of guilt.
"Xiao Ke, is it really like what the doctor said, are there things you are afraid of around?"
Mu Xiaoke heard his father speak in a very low voice, and it might be shameful to ask these words. The father-son relationship between him and his father is very complicated. Once a useless child has recovered, and suddenly Losing the ability to speak, he didn't know what his father was thinking, but the doctor said that Mu Xiangyang, as a father, needs to bear this responsibility.
Mu Xiaoke nodded slightly, affirming the doctor's statement.
What he is afraid of is the sudden betrayal of his family and the indifference of his family after being used like a shoe, as well as the insult and abuse from the so-called "husband".
These still surround him, making him often unable to sleep peacefully.
"So what do you think?"
"I want to live alone in the house left by my mother." Mu Xiaoke made a gesture, he was alone.
That house was bought by his mother before her death, and she specially bought it in the community opposite Shi No. 1 Middle School. His mother said that she would live there with her children so that Xiao Ke could eat the meals cooked by her mother every day. Take care of mom.
This house was taken over by Mu Kai in the previous life, and it seems to have become the secret place for Mu Kai and Fu Jiayun to have an affair.
In this life, Mu Xiaoke can't let Mu Kai take away the things left by his mother. Even though the two brothers have been brothers for ten years, they are only half brothers, and Mu Xiaoke dare not forget his mother who caused the death.
When Mu Xiangyang saw the request made by Mu Xiaoke, he immediately became embarrassed. Before Mu Kai went to live on campus, he asked him for this apartment, but Mu Xiangyang didn't take it seriously at that time, and directly agreed. After all, Mu Kai is also a delicate child. He has never lived in the school for so many years, and when he is not used to it, he will secretly apply to the school to live in the community across the road. This is what Mu Xiangyang and Mu Kai planned.
Why did Mu Xiaoke make such a request?
Could it be that the two brothers really had a conflict?
"Xiao Ke, your brother has asked for this house before. Look, why don't you stay at home and daddy will give you a new big room?"
"Can't I have it?" Mu Xiaoke's whole face fell down, tears were already rolling in his eyes, but he didn't make a fuss, and simply got up and left.
Mu Xiangyang quickly shouted: "Hey, Xiao Ke, this matter..."
Mu Xiaoke didn't stop.
Mu Xiangyang sighed heavily, he was used to his partiality, even if he had a doctor's order first, he would still give priority to Mu Kai.
But seeing Mu Xiaoke's disappointed and helpless look, Mu Xiangyang realized that he had gone too far.
"Forget it!" Immediately, he called the secretary, "Find someone to clean the house opposite No. 1 Middle School and buy some furniture."
"Is it the one Madam brought before marriage?"
The secretary's question made Mu Xiangyang even more guilty, "Yes, Xiao Ke will live there after school starts, and by the way, find a certified hourly worker to be in charge of cooking and cleaning."
On the official high school registration day, Mu Xiaoke and Mu Kai sat in a car and went to school together accompanied by their father.
Mu Kai cared about Mu Xiaoke very much along the way, and talked to Mu Xiaoke about various things in school, where to buy food, where to see a doctor, where to find a teacher, and explained everything in detail.
Mu Xiaoke nodded in response from time to time, but compared to Mu Kai's enthusiasm, he seemed a little cold.
After a while, the car arrived at the school. Mu Kai and Mu Xiangyang accompanied Mu Xiaoke to report to the class. When the homeroom teacher saw them, he immediately called Mu Kai, "Hey, why are you here, Mu Kai?" Kai greeted the teacher obediently, "Teacher, this is my younger brother, he is dumb..."
As soon as the words came out, the other students and parents around looked over, and the head teacher and Mu Xiangyang all looked a little ugly. In fact, Mu Xiangyang had already talked with the head teacher on the phone, hoping that the head teacher would take care of him more, but it didn't mean that they, as elders, wanted their children's flaws to be exposed in public.
"Hey, it's all right, it's just a temporary loss of speech, it's okay, Xiao Ke, your grades in the high school entrance examination are very good, you have to work harder in the future."
Mu Xiaoke nodded, and filled out the required information by himself.
When Mu Xiaoke was filling in things, the whole classroom was so quiet that not a single noise could be heard. Mu Xiaoke didn't know why they were silent, because he was dumb? Mu Xiaoke didn't care too much, and said goodbye to the teacher after completing the formalities.
When going downstairs, Mu Kai followed behind Mu Xiaoke, and began to explain his rude behavior just now, "Xiao Ke, I'm sorry, brother didn't mean to expose you, I just want to tell the teacher so that she can take care of you , as you can see, Mr. Chen has a very good relationship with me."
Mu Xiaoke immediately waved his hand, indicating that it doesn't matter, and greeted Mu Xiangyang to put his luggage. Mu Xiangyang didn't want to waste any more time, so he let Mu Kai go about his own business.
Mu Kai didn't understand, "Dad, won't you accompany me to report, and my younger brother said to leave the luggage, and the younger brother also lives in school?" In fact, he had wanted to ask for a long time. When he got up in the morning, he saw the driver carrying the luggage. What the **** is a suitcase?
"Your brother is going to live in Shihua. Now I'll clean it up for him. Don't you have to report in the third year of high school? You should hurry up and clean up the internal affairs of the dormitory, don't delay."
"Shihua... Dad, didn't you say..."
"Okay, this is the house left by Xiao Ke's mother. He can live there if he wants to. If you want to come out to live, Dad will find another place for you."
Mu Xiangyang was already dissatisfied with the fact that Mu Kai pointed out that Mu Xiaoke was dumb in public. Not only did Mu Kai not know how to restrain himself, he also cared about Mu Xiaoke's mother's house, so Mu Xiangyang became impatient with Mu Kai. But after all, this is his eldest son who has been loved by him for more than ten years. Seeing that Mu Kai is unhappy, he is a little bit reluctant, "Okay, okay, let's go eat hot pot together later, go and pack up."
Mu Xiaoke watched from the side, and finally followed Mu Xiangyang to leave. Even though he felt his brother's phoenix eyes were staring at him, he never turned his head and gave him another look.
