Quite awkward

Chapter 132 "Ayu, are you disgusted by me doing this?"

After one night, the temperature in Yunnan and Guizhou dropped to five degrees Celsius.

Before going to bed last night, Qi Yu did not close the window tightly in order to get some fresh air. Strands of cold air came in through the gaps. When she opened her eyes and woke up, she felt her throat was dry and itchy, and there were signs of nasal congestion.

She got up, washed, packed her things, put on her coat and went out.

I knocked on the door of the next room, and after a while, the door opened from the inside.

Seeing her wake up so early, Mu Yanqing was a little surprised. He lowered his eyes and observed her complexion. The dark circles under her eyes had faded, but she still looked listless.

"Brother, do you want to have breakfast?"

"it is good."

Mu Yanqing walked straight out of the room and walked side by side with her to the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, he asked in a gentle voice, "Ayu, are you feeling unwell?"

Qi Yu rubbed his nose and replied, "Maybe I have a slight cold, nothing serious."

"I'll go get some medicine with you later. Don't let your cold get worse."

After he said this, Qi Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

After breakfast, the two checked out of the hotel and went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine.

There was a coffee shop next to the pharmacy. Mu Yanqing went in and bought himself a cup of American coffee. He then noticed that thermos cups were being sold nearby. He called Qi Yu over and asked her to pick a cup she liked.

"Drinking more warm water is good for your throat."

Qi Yu pointed at the iced Americano in his hand and smiled, "Brother, you drink iced coffee yourself."

"I didn't sleep well last night and I'm a bit busy today, so I can only order a cup of coffee. Don't follow my example."

Hearing him say that he didn't sleep well, she frowned slightly, sighed, and felt a little guilty.

"Actually, you don't have to stay next door with me. I often stay in hotels alone."

Mu Yanqing casually picked up a pink thermos cup and explained calmly, "It's not about the hotel. I had a little conflict with Chen An last night, and I couldn't sleep because I was thinking too much."

"what?"

In Qi Yu's memory, the brotherhood between his eldest brother and second brother has been very harmonious since childhood, thanks to their happy and wealthy family environment.

Therefore, when she suddenly heard that the two of them had a conflict, she was very surprised, and she had a hunch that their conflict might be related to her.

Without even thinking, she asked bluntly, "You guys talked about me, didn't you?"

Mu Yanqing pretended not to hear, put down the cup in his hand, and urged her: "Hurry up and choose one, I'll pay the bill."

Qi Yu picked up a thermos cup with a blue mermaid print on it, glanced at him lightly, then turned around and went to the bar to pay the bill.

The two walked out of the coffee shop. It was drizzling outside, and the car was parked a hundred meters away.

Seeing this, Mu Yanqing was worried that getting wet in the rain would worsen Qi Yu's cold, so he took off his coat and covered her head with it.

The next second, Qi Yu quickly pulled off the clothes on her head, put them on her arm and returned them to him, her tone helpless.

"Brother, I'm no longer a child who needs to be taken care of all the time."

Mu Yanqing was startled when he heard this and asked softly, "Ayu, are you disgusted by me doing this?"

"Brother, I want to say that you don't have to always think about taking care of me, because I can take care of myself. Even without your reminder, I know that I need to take medicine and drink warm water when I have a cold, and protect myself from the rain when it rains."

Qi Yu's tone revealed a hint of anxiety, but he was not angry.

She just wanted to get along well with her eldest brother, meet him occasionally to chat and share their lives, but she didn't want his life to revolve around her alone.

Seeing the hurt look in her brother's eyes, her heart tightened and she felt uncomfortable.

Her intention was not to hurt him, but to tell him that she was fully capable of taking care of herself and did not need his meticulous care.

Mu Yanqing didn't give her any response.

The atmosphere at this moment is colder than the cold air, and time almost stands still.

Qi Yu glanced sideways and saw that he was wearing a thin gray shirt, and his upper body still maintained a thin and upright posture.

"Brother, put on your coat first."

Hearing the sound, he looked up at the gloomy sky, then put on his coat again and looked at her silently for a moment, with subtle emotions growing in his heart.

"Stand still here while I get an umbrella from the car."

Qi Yu was stunned and lost in thought for a moment.

There was a hint of concern in the firm tone, and she almost thought it was Mu Chenan who was talking to her.

Looking at his tall back as he walked through the rain, she suddenly realized that what she had just said did not achieve the desired effect.

After a while, Mu Yanqing came over holding a black umbrella to pick up Qi Yu. The two stood under the umbrella, looking at each other in silence.

After getting in the car, he turned to look at the person sitting in the passenger seat. His voice was light and calm, but his tone was serious.

"Ayu, I don't have much time to be with you. When I have the chance to care for you, I hope you won't avoid me. I don't treat you like a child, but apart from me, no one will truly care about your health. I never need you to repay my kindness to you."

“Brother…”

Qi Yu tried to interrupt, but he took over the conversation again.

"Ayu, don't think my concern is a burden. Don't worry, I'm busy too and don't have time to visit you often, but when we have the chance to meet, we can just get along normally as before. I'm not forcing you to do anything, so why do you look so embarrassed?"

At the end of his words, he raised his lips and made a joke, which also eased the originally tense and serious atmosphere in the car.

Qi Yu sighed softly: "Brother, you have already said everything, what else can I say?"

Mu Yanqing put his hands on the steering wheel and smiled: "Because I know you very well. Okay, I'll take you back to the dormitory."

"Okay." Qi Yu raised his eyebrows, and finally let himself go, not planning to dwell on this matter anymore.
