Chapter 424: In Love

After Xiao Wu recovered, even his reputation improved. Mu Jingzhe was very relieved.

There was another piece of good news during summer vacation, and that was Shao Xis new work, which was all about treating illness with love. In the end, he had decided to turn it into a movie and had already started working on the project.

Initially, Shao Xi felt that some of the things he had imagined, such as those machines, might not be easy to produce. However, Director Jiang, who he had worked with before, liked this idea very much and was very sincere about it. He kept pestering Shao Xi to film it, even offering to forgo the director fees to do it.

In addition, Shao Xi had previously bought a film company. Coincidentally, he was very interested and he even wanted to be a screenwriter. Since he had worked with Director Jiang before, he decided to try producing the film himself. In the end, he decided to cooperate with him and give it a try. They would show their greatest sincerity together.

Shao Xi completed the adaptation of the script in late summer, and Director Jiang also started getting busy. Little Bei was delighted to hear that and said that she had to audition for the role of the young lady. Shao Xi didnt stop her.

Mu Jingzhe also wanted to collaborate with them, so in the end, the entire family got busy working on this.

It wasnt clear if this was good or not, but somehow, things still ended up this way. There was also a benefit to thiscommunication was easier. Furthermore, they could be a little more direct and wouldnt be careless about it.

After a busy summer vacation, the children returned to school.

Now that the kids had returned to school, although Mu Jingzhe was usually busy working, she felt a little relieved. Ji Buw.a.n.g heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Although he was also busy and concerned about Xiao Wu and the other children, with the children around, coupled with Xiao Wus previous issue, it had been a long time since he had been alone with Mu Jingzhe.

Because of the previous situation, his relations.h.i.+p with Jingzhe should have advanced and taken a step forward. However, because of Xiao Wu, he hadnt been in the mood to pay attention to this.

Now that the children had left, there was finally a chance for the two of them to be alone.

Ji Buw.a.n.g, who had been holding back for a long time, decided to spend some quality time with Mu Jingzhe. First, they had to watch a movie. Since she didnt dare watch horror movies, they could watch another movie. However, Mu Jingzhe knew that Ji Buw.a.n.g couldnt see anyones face and wouldnt enjoy it much. Thus, when they arrived at the movie theater, she chose a cartoon.

Pretty much everyone watching the cartoon was an adult with children, so Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buw.a.n.g were the only exceptions. However, Ji Buw.a.n.g didnt care. Had he gone there to watch a movie? No, he was doing it to be with Jingzhe.

Mu Jingzhe shared the same sentiment. Compared to the exquisitely-made cartoons of the future, animation at the time was very inferior in terms of technique and other aspects.

However, the movie actually turned out not to be too bad, especially when Ji Buw.a.n.g intentionally or unintentionally leaned his arm over.

Ji Buw.a.n.g usually talked big and sounded formidable, as he kept asking Mu Jingzhe to make an honest man out of him and whatnot. However, when one interacted with him, they would realize that he had a courage that people in this era didnt have, but he also had the carefulness of the men in this era.

For example, he had looked at Mu Jingzhes hand a few times, but he didnt dare hold it. He only dared to get a little closer, as if it was already very good that their arms were next to each other.

Mu Jingzhe had undergone a modern baptism. Modern fast-food-style love made intimacy very easy. Even without love, one could be intimate in all sorts of ways. At the time, she hadnt been used to it, so she could be considered conservative.

She hadnt expected a conservative like her to become an open-minded, bold person in this era.

Having their arms next to each other was nothing really. However, even so, she felt her heart palpitate for some reason.

Even the content of the cartoon seemed to become cute and funny.

However, Mu Jingzhe didnt really remember what she had watched by the time it ended. As they walked out of the movie theater, someone leaving in a hurry b.u.mped into Mu Jingzhe. Mu Jingzhe lost her footing, and Ji Buw.a.n.g quickly grabbed her.

Be careful. Upon saying that, he subconsciously grabbed Mu Jingzhes hand. After taking a few steps, he suddenly realized what he had done and felt his palm start to burn.

At this short distance, Mu Jingzhe could feel Ji Buw.a.n.gs palms start to sweat, but he couldnt bear to let go and didnt dare move.

Mu Jingzhe looked at their hands and smiled. When they came out, Ji Buw.a.n.g reluctantly let go of her hand. Mu Jingzhe couldnt help but scratch his palm playfully, instantly feeling Ji Buw.a.n.g go stiff.

Ji Buw.a.n.g felt his hands turn numb and almost jumped up. When he turned around and saw Mu Jingzhes calm expression, he knew that he might be too sensitive.

He was instantly a little vexed. He had thought it through very well, but after holding Jingzhes hand, he couldnt help but feel nervous.

Seeing that someone was selling popsicles in the distance, Ji Buw.a.n.g quickly offered to buy a popsicle for Mu Jingzhe and walked away.

He needed to calm down, and eating a popsicle would help.

Mu Jingzhe covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched him leave. So cute.

She hadnt been like this in the past. She didnt know why but she wanted to tease Ji Buw.a.n.g whenever she met him. Bah This wasnt teasing. It was just playing around.

Yes, she wasnt a pervert. She was just messing around.

Ji Buw.a.n.g bought them popsicles, and the two of them were about to leave when they accidentally b.u.mped into Shao Qiyang and Mu Xue. Upon seeing the two of them together, Shao Qiyang was stunned momentarily before returning to normal. He asked a thing or two about the kids.

When he learned that Xiao Wu was fine, Shao Qiyang heaved a sigh of relief. After Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buw.a.n.g left, he looked at their backs and felt conflicted. What was his Second Brother going to do?

Lets go. Mu Xue pulled Shao Qiyang over. Shao Qiyang came back to his senses and quickly held Mu Xue. Being pregnant, Mu Xue was a tad sensitive. Seeing that he looked dejected, she was a little upset. You still cant forget her?

No, Im thinking about my older brother. Shao Qiyang perked up. Dont overthink.

Shao Qiyang could clearly sense that Shao Qihai hadnt given up on Mu Jingzhe, nor was he prepared to accept anyone else as her partner. However, now that Mu Jingzhe seemed to have chosen Ji Buw.a.n.g, what should his older brother do?

Arent they divorced? Dont think too much about it, Mu Xue said.

Shao Qiyang acknowledged this and didnt say anything else.

After the movie, Ji Buw.a.n.g took Mu Jingzhe to eat. While they were eating, Ji Buw.a.n.g deliberately placed his arm on her chair, but in the end, he didnt manage to hug Mu Jingzhes shoulder.

Mu Jingzhe could feel his arm and guessed his intentions. She knew what this meant very well, so she had been waiting nervously. In the end she was nervous for nothing!

Ji Buw.a.n.g didnt even put his arm around her shoulder!

Mu Jingzhe waited during the entire meal, but in the end, it didnt happen. After the meal, she was full of food and anger. She grumpily followed Ji Buw.a.n.g, feeling indignant.

Therefore, when they walked out of the restaurant, as she was standing on a staircase step higher than Ji Buw.a.n.g, she hugged his shoulder first.

If he didnt hug her, she would hug him. If the mountain didnt come over, she would go to the mountain! Wasnt it just a shoulder hug after all? She had to hug him!
