When they got on the road, Tang Moling felt more at ease.
He couldn't open the window because it was raining, so as time passed, the window would begin to get foggy. He wanted to get a towel, but Mu Jingzhe consciously wiped it away to prevent the mist from fogging up his vision.
When some leaves fell on the rearview mirror, without needing him to say anything, she opened the car window and removed them.
When he felt thirsty and wanted to retrieve the teacup to drink some water, Mu Jingzhe saw that.
"I'll do it. I'll help you. Just focus on driving."
Mu Jingzhe removed the lid from the teacup and handed it to him. After he finished drinking, she covered it and placed it back.
Anyway... he didn't have to worry about anything.
As Mu Jingzhe moved, Tang Moling could detect a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose. It smelled like soap, but it also didn't feel like it. It was a little arousing.
The children relaxed halfway through the journey and asked many questions about cars. Mu Jingzhe, who knew a lot, answered simply. If she occasionally encountered strange and unconstrained questions that she couldn't answer, she would honestly say that she didn't know either.
Their way of interacting and their conversation surprised Tang Moling.
Didn't adults have to pretend to understand everything in front of children even if they didn't know anything? Or shouldn't the adults find some excuse and scold the children for asking the questions they didn't have an answer for?
Why was Mu Jingzhe so calm?
Besides, the content of their conversation had exceeded Tang Moling's expectations. Why was it that as they talked, the range of the topics became wider and wider? Later on, they even started talking about dimensions and natural phenomena. There were all sorts of subjects, some of which even he didn't know about.
He actually didn't know these things?
Was this possible?
Who was he? Who were these bumpkins? They were only a few years old!
Tang Moling was surprised.
Then, they continued to astonish him.
When they were close to the county city, they started memorizing poems and textbooks. Later on, they even played an idiom game.
Shao Xi answered the most questions and was the fastest. Even when Little Bei dug out the dictionary from her bag, she couldn't beat him.
The dictionary was the reward Shao Xi had wanted after he'd received the first royalties.
The five siblings finally had their own dictionary. When they had nothing to do, they would read the dictionary and learn idioms.
Later on, by the time they started revising the foreign language they had learned and began singing alphabet songs, he already felt numb.
"Didn't they just start learning?" the numb Tang Moling asked Mu Jingzhe."Is it that easy to learn foreign languages?"
It was a little different from what he thought.
"It's hard for ordinary people, but not for them." Mu Jingzhe shrugged."They're smart."
She knew that they had learned the alphabet, so she had taught them to sing the alphabet song. They had immediately mastered it.
Tang Moling took them to the county city.
Although it was raining, the art school was still lively. It was even livelier than before. There was also a group of observers there.
Mu Jingzhe and the children arrived late and were busy getting to class, so they didn't notice them. They only thought that they were parents who were there to visit.
After Mu Jingzhe took them to class, she turned around and saw Ji Buwang.
When Ji Buwang saw her, his eyes lit up like light bulbs that had suddenly been turned on.
Mu Jingzhe's scalp instantly turned numb.
Because Ji Buwang could only see her face, he was very happy every time he saw her. She could understand that.
However, every time she came, he would look for her and keep staring at her. She couldn't quite take it.
She had thought that she would be able to avoid it today.
Alas, that was not the case.
"Jingzhe, you're here. I was wondering if you wouldn't come because of the rain today."
"Of course we came. We can't hold up the children's lessons because of the rain." Mu Jingzhe nodded with an awkward smile.
Ji Buwang looked at her expression."Jingzhe, this expression... Did you not want to see me?"
Mu Jingzhe: "..."
There it was again.
He studied her expression once more.
The thing was, he was always spot-on.
While facing Ji Buwang, Mu Jingzhe felt like she was facing a facial micro-expression expert.
She took a deep breath and looked at Ji Buwang expressionlessly and coldly."Take a guess?"
That's right, she didn't really want to see him.
She didn't hate Ji Buwang, but it was stressful to be scrutinized like this.
Ji Buwang laughed and then quickly apologized."No, I wasn't making fun of you, Jingzhe. I didn't do it on purpose. I was just really happy."
He couldn't see other people's faces, not even his own, so he couldn't distinguish between beauty and ugliness. In any case, in his opinion, Mu Jingzhe was the most beautiful person.
She was as pretty as his mother.
On Mu Jingzhe's face, he could also see all sorts of expressions.
He didn't know if others were like Mu Jingzhe, always wearing all sorts of expressions and smiles, but in any case, Mu Jingzhe was the cutest.
Her emotional reactions, smiles, and various expressions were all so fascinating.
Every time he saw Mu Jingzhe, he would unlock new expressions. It was extremely interesting.
However, he had never seen what crying looked like.
"Jingzhe, when are you going to cry? Can you cry?"
Mu Jingzhe: "..."
Listen to him. How demanding was this? Not only did he want to study her, but now he wanted her to cry?
Mu Jingzhe refused heartlessly."No."
Ji Buwang said regretfully, "Alright, remember to call me when you want to cry in the future."
Mu Jingzhe couldn't help but say, "Get lost."f𝗿𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝙣o𝙫𝚎l - 🅽🅽novel
"Don't be angry, Jingzhe, don't be angry, " Ji Buwang hurriedly said.
Mu Jingzhe sighed."I'm leaving."
"Wait, don't leave yet. I have something to tell you today."
Ji Buwang started talking about serious business with Mu Jingzhe."Shao Zhong is really talented in music. He has an absolute sense of music, and his future is limitless."
Ji Buwang hadn't expected to chance upon such a good seedling.
There were very few musical instruments in this school. With his ability, he could totally learn more musical instruments.
Mu Jingzhe naturally knew how awesome Shao Zhong was, but...
"I'll work hard to allow him to study later."
She would earn more money!
A trace of doubt flashed past Ji Buwang's face."No, I'm telling you this because I have something to discuss with you. We can let him learn more musical instruments, and I can help to provide them. I have quite a few at home."
"At your home?"
"Right, they're just piling dust at home anyway. We might as well let them be of use."
Ji Buwang nodded and took out a piece of paper."I've counted what we have at home. If you agree, I'll bring them all for Shao Zhong to learn them. The other students can use them too."
Therefore, after the piano, Ji Buwang was going to bring yet more musical instruments to school.
Mu Jingzhe numbly took a look at the list.
It was really quite a complete set. There were Western instruments, like violin, cello, guitars, harps, and even drums, as well as traditional Chinese musical instruments, like yangqin, guzheng, and pipa.
"Do you have all these at home?"
Mu Jingzhe was astonished.
"Yes, if you agree, I'll get someone to bring them over." Ji Buwang naturally wanted Mu Jingzhe to bring the children to his house to learn, but he didn't dare push his luck.
"Is it convenient?"
"Of course." Ji Buwang said that there was nothing inconvenient about it."There are also enough music classrooms. If you agree, I'll call home and have them brought over."
Ji Buwang even had a phone installed at home.
"What a rich family." Mu Jingzhe raised her thumb and made a joke before thanking him seriously.
"Thank you, Ji Buwang. Xiao Wu was fortunate to meet you."
Ji Buwang smiled."I'm lucky I met you."
Mu Jingzhe: "..."
So... mushy.
