CHAPTER 9: “Sold”

“Slap!” Li Mu was slapped as soon as he entered the door, Li Mu stared at Hua Tian blankly.

“What’s the matter with you? Why didn’t you answer your phone?” Hua Tian only then saw Li Mu’s appearance clearly and asked with concern. It was already 12 o’clock. Hua Tian waited until his hair turned white.¹not literal meaning, it’s just an exaggeration of Hua Tian. He worked so hard to cook a table of good dishes, but after waiting for so long, Li Mu hadn’t returned home. He couldn’t help but slap him when he saw Li Mu come back.

“I…” Li Mu smiled happily looking at Hua Tian’s anxiousness. Someone still cares about me. As soon as he relaxed, his legs suddenly softened, and Li Mu fell on Hua Tian.

Hua Tian quickly hugged Li Mu and walked him to the room. “What happened to you? Why didn’t you call me? Where is your phone? I called the company and they said you were out long ago.”

Li Mu took out the phone from his trouser pocket. It shows that there are indeed 21 missed calls.

Hua Tian carried Li Mu onto the bed, and when he saw Li Mu take out the phone, his anger was provoked again. “Slap!” Li Mu was slapped again.

“You idiot, you can’t answer the phone? I’ve been so worried about you and I almost called the police!”

Li Mu was beaten by Hua Tian and didn’t think there was anything wrong, only that Hua Tian really cared about him. (Baby Mu, you are not saved). Seeing that Hua Tian was going out, he hugged Hua Tian’s waist and said: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t hear the phone ringing. Don’t go, don’t leave me alone.”

After Hua Tian applied the medicine all over, he woke up Li Mu, who was fast asleep.

“Now you have to answer my questions, don’t lie to me, otherwise I will leave.” Hua Tian pretended to be angry.

Li Mu quickly hugged Hua Tian again, and hurriedly said, “I won’t lie to you.”

Hua Tian lay down beside Li Mu, hugged him, then put Li Mu’s head on his shoulder as he asked, “Where are your parents?”

Li Mu leaned on Hua Tian, ​​feeling that he was warm enough to melt. Hearing Hua Tian’s question, he paused and said in a low voice: “My biological parents left me at the door of an orphanage. It was not until I was six that my ‘uncle and aunt’ adopted me. They are now traveling around the world.”

Hua Tian held Li Mu tightly. Li Mu leaned against him with a tight hug. He felt that Hua Tian really cares about him and said softly: “I’m fine. Sometimes I wonder if I am a bothersome person. No matter in the orphanage or in the school, no one wants to take the initiative to talk to me. Every time I tried to play with them, they would all run away.”

Hua Tian thought, ‘It would be strange for them not to run because of the way you wear your glasses.’ “When did you start wearing glasses?”

“I don’t remember, it seems that when I was very young, the dean said that I had poor eyesight since I was a child, so he took me to the hospital to have glasses. I listened to the doctor’s words very much. I wear glasses every day except when I am sleeping.”

Hua Tian smiled secretly in his heart and asked: “Are your uncles and aunts treating you badly? Why don’t you call them Mom and Dad?”

Li Mu said with inferiority: “I wanted to call them Mom and Dad, but Aunt said don’t call them that, they are just my uncle and aunt. Hua Tian, am I very annoying? Uncle and Aunt don’t want to treat me as their child, and don’t want to see me.”

“You are so cute, not annoying. Why don’t they want to see you?”

Li Mu smiled gratefully at Hua Tian, ​​”Uncle and Aunt are very kind to me, sent me to school, and sent someone to take care of me. But they only usually call once a month. Never came to ask about my grades. I rarely see them. But I still studied very hard. Hoping that they can take me with them one day. But since I was a smart and obedient child, they gave me the company as soon as I was ready and told me to take good care of it. Then they traveled around the world. I haven’t seen them for 3 years now.”

Hua Tian thought, ‘How is this good for you? Obviously, it’s just to train a servant who works hard. They want you to make money to spend for themselves, and you even help them count the money as if you were totally sold.’ However, on the outside, with a charming smile on his face, he said seductively to Li Mu: “Are you lonely?”

“Yeah.” Li Mu replied stupidly.

“Want someone to accompany you?”

“Yeah.”

“I can accompany you, but…”

“But what?” Li Mu hurriedly asked.

“You have to listen to me obediently.”

“Well, then I would always listen to you.” Li Mu said sincerely. 

(Now you’re totally sold ¬‿¬)
