At that time, Shen Mu was still in the first grade of junior high school.
Because he was busy studying in key junior high schools, it was already New Year's Eve when Shen Mu went on winter vacation.
Since junior high school, Shen Mu has rented a house near the school, but during holidays, he usually returns to that home.
But in that family, his father, his stepmother and his half-brother were more like a family.
Because he is not old enough to fly a shuttle, and his school is far away from his home. In order to catch up with the New Year's Eve dinner, Shen Mu came to school with his suitcase and then called a shuttle.
But the school gate is too crowded, full of parents coming to pick up their children to take home for the New Year.
Although he never expected his family to pick him up, such a scene still made Shen Mu feel a little sad.
Shen Mu was still young at that time and was far less strong than Shen Mu as an adult.
When he returned home on the shuttle, he found that all the lights in the house were dimmed.
He opened the door and went in. There was no one in the room.
Shen Mu curled up on the sofa covered with a blanket and watched TV alone for a long time. The temperature in the room was very low, but he was too lazy to turn on the air conditioner. He didn't even bother to eat dinner.
Later, he was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. After looking at his brain, he discovered that his father had sent him a message a few hours ago, saying that they would play outside for a few days before going back. He also transferred a large amount of money to him and wished him well. Happy New Year.
Shen Mu felt his eyes were dry.
He knew that his half-brother had an early holiday, and then the three of them went on a trip. But he didn't expect that they wouldn't even come back for the New Year.
Perhaps, they want to have a New Year where the three of them are together.
I don't know why, but from that time on, Shen Mu, who already had a low body temperature, became more afraid of the cold.
On the first day of the new year, many shuttle drivers are at home to celebrate the New Year, so the price of flying shuttles at this time is high, several times higher than usual.
But Shen Mu still took the shuttle across the star districts, from the second star district to the first star district.
He suddenly missed that person very much and wanted to see him. But he is very sensible and does not want to disturb their family's New Year celebrations. So, he decided to watch secretly.
At that time, Shen Mu's companion beast was in a period of rapid growth, requiring him to expend a lot of mental energy to nourish it, and the companion beast during this period was particularly attached to him.
At that time, Shen Mu was not in a good mood, so he released the companion beast and held it. He hid not far from the door of the man's house, stroking the companion beast's fur while lost in thought.
Unexpectedly, the companion beast that always clung to him and liked to crawl into his arms suddenly jumped out of his arms while he was in trance, spread its four fluffy calves and ran towards the door of the house.
Just as Shen Mu was about to run over and pick up his companion beast, he saw someone walking out.
At this moment, Shen Mu felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He had to hide subconsciously. Then looking at the tall and upright figure, he slowly squatted down and gently stroked the back of his companion beast.
Shen Mu's companion beast is usually not allowed to be touched by anyone except him. But when she saw that person, she fluttered in front of his legs enthusiastically, and then happily rubbed his trouser legs after being touched.
I saw the man gently picking up the companion beast, stroking it and whispering softly: "Whose little rabbit are you? Why did you run out in the cold?" The
companion beast felt comfortable under his touch and nestled in his arms obediently. Enjoy it. It looked completely worthless and didn't even care that it was called the wrong species.
In fact, Shen Mu's companion animal is a rhinoceros, but this species is too rare, and its appearance is very similar to a rabbit. Therefore, being mistaken for someone is very common.
Shen Mu couldn't help but stare blankly.
Because of the reaction of the companion beast, and even more because of that person.
That man is taller and more handsome than he was a few years ago. In other words, he has always been handsome, but now he is more handsome than he was a few years ago, with the charm of a mature man.
Shen Mu's heartbeat was fast, and he hesitated whether he should go forward and say hello.
But he didn't know if his brother, who had given him warm care when he was young, would still remember him after so many years. He knew that his brother's name was Gu Juan, but his brother didn't know his name. When he was still young, he was called "baby" by the other party in just a few meetings.
Shen Mu thought that Gu Juan would most likely not remember it, and it would be rude to disturb others during the New Year.
Shen Mu's heart felt sour. While he was hesitating, Gu Juan was called in for dinner by his family, and he was carried in along with his companion animal.
Obviously, Gu Juan didn't know that this was a companion beast, and he probably just regarded it as a little white rabbit that ran away from someone's family.
It's really worthless, so just leave with others.
The successive experiences in the past few days made the still young Shen Mu feel a little aggrieved.
At that moment, he also wanted to follow them in and eat with them.
But he can't.
Shen Mu stood in the cold winter wind for a long time that day, and then used his mental power to call back his companion beast.
Then we called a shuttle and went home.
The memory came back, and the adult Shen Mu absolutely didn't want to admit it. At that time, he was still very hopeless and his eyes were red.
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu, call Brother Mu?" Song Xiangnan called Shen Mu in the team voice, "Brother, you won't be disconnected, right?"
"No." Shen Mu came back to his senses and coughed lightly.
"Oh, okay, now that we have formed a team, let's sign up quickly!" Song Xiangnan said impatiently.
"Okay, now you are the captain, lead the team directly." These processes only require the captain to operate, and after the operation is completed, the team members can click to agree, so Shen Mu basically has nothing to do. So he stretched out and drank the milk slowly.
"Breeder, why aren't you talking today?" Song Xiangnan felt a little confused. The other party usually talked a lot, but today he didn't say a word since he went online.
Soon, a message appeared in the chat on the team channel: My throat is not feeling well today. Is it okay to type?
"Ah, your throat feels uncomfortable. Are you okay?" Song Xiangnan asked quickly.
Cat Breeder: It's okay, I just might have to type today, is that okay? Please, please, Maomao sells cute emoticons.
"Okay, okay, of course." Song Xiangnan replied.
After they signed up, they formed a team and played a few games of third row, and then went offline.
After all, if you have to go to class tomorrow or go to work if you have to go to work, you can't get up too late.
After turning off the live broadcast, Shen Mu and Song Xiangnan both came out of the game room. Then Shen Mu saw Song Xiangnan's sad face, not happy.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mu asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a message from his psychiatrist Su Bei. There were only two sentences in the message: I am a cat breeder. You didn't recognize each other during the live broadcast just now.
Shen Mu burst out laughing.
It's such a fantasy.
