Chapter 427: Challenge

Challenge Day.

Mu Sicheng woke up from the dormitory, dazedly dressed, squeezed toothpaste on himself, brushed his teeth and washed his face, after a simple cleaning, Mu Sicheng opened his mouth and yawned, the corners of his eyes overflowed with a little tears, and he unintentionally swept the rest of his eyes to the messy desktop that he hadn't had the chance to clean up after reviewing for the whole night before.

On the corner of the desk stood a small calendar, which had been given to him by Liu Huai earlier.

Mu Sicheng was a big man, not used to keeping a calendar, and even forgot some key exams, but Liu Huai was always careful, so he marked some important lab reports and exams on his calendar, and put them on the corner of Mu Sicheng's desk.

The last line on the calendar is a reminder of an exam that has long since passed, followed by a reminder of a make-up exam date added by Mu Sicheng himself.

Mu Sicheng looked at this calendar, slowly walked up, he lowered his head and tapped the date on the calendar with a red pen, muttering to himself under his breath, "One, two ...... seven, seven days."

"It's been another seven days since I've stolen anything in reality."

Mu Sicheng's pen paused.

...... After meeting Bai Liu, because of this and that, too many things are messed up, he seems to have never committed theft in reality.

If she's still around and knows he hasn't stolen anything in a week ......

Mostly childishly yet seriously, I guess, he'd draw him a little red flower in his discipline book.

Mu Sicheng gripped the red pen in his hand slowly clenched, he lowered his eyes and snorted very softly, raised his hand and casually drew himself a small red flower under today's date, raised his hand and put on his jacket's cap, pushed open the door of the dormitory and walked out.

The wind slipped in through the cracks in the unclosed window and blew the page of the calendar with the scribbled little red flower on the corner of the desk nearly over.

Underneath this little red flower, there is also a drawing of a dirty sketchy hobo and a laughing arrogant monkey, next to which is written - [Hobo and Monkey] Challenge First Show Date!

Mu Ke sat at the dining room table slowly sipping porridge from a porcelain spoon, across from his silent and somewhat apprehensive looking parents.

The first to open his mouth was Mu father, he clenched his fist slightly tightly and coughed, "Mu Ke, it's like this, you asked for that money before and I approved it to your company, as for dad, he doesn't care if you can make it back to the capital or not, it's good that you're happy."

"Dad is trying to discuss something with you today."

Mu Ke put down the china spoon as he wiped his mouth well with a paper towel, then calmly looked up at his father who was looking at him expectantly.

For as long as he could remember, his father had given him what he wanted, barely holding him accountable for the consequences of anything he did, even when sometimes something would wander over the edge of gray and bury someone, and his father didn't care.

Mu Ke had always assumed that to be so good to him, his father must have loved him, and that's what everyone around him had told him.

But there is also the case that his father had not expected him to do anything worthwhile in the first place, and had long ago prepared a backhand, so he could fall however he wanted.

And for the first time in Mu Ke's memory, his father looked at him with such expectant eyes.

"Xiao Ke," his father said, "I have a child out there who happens to be a year younger than you, and would like to pick him up."

Mu Ke gave a soft chuckle, "Just a year younger?"

His father coughed awkwardly, "Xiao Ke, don't get me wrong, I really didn't see that you had a congenital heart disease after you were born before I intentionally went ahead and had this baby, this baby was just an accident, I was drunk at the time ......"

"Mom knows that too." His father looked to his mother next to him, "I admitted my mistake to your mother as soon as I got back, and she was angry with me for a long time, and at one point wanted to divorce me, but eventually forgave me and didn't let the other man hit the baby."

"After all, the child was innocent, and ultimately the mom decided to raise it with me, so this child was raised outside by the mom and me."

His mother raised her head and looked at Mu Ke with complicated eyes, and finally nodded slowly, "That child is also very understanding and lovely, about the same age as you, and mom just couldn't be cruel."

Mu Ke's eyelids fell very softly, "Like kids a year younger than me, you guys are perfectly capable of reproducing yourselves."

He smiled and raised his eyes, "It's because you're afraid you two will have a second one or a cripple like me that you've found someone else, isn't it?"

There was a silence throughout the table.

Father Mu took a deep breath, "Xiao Ke, you are our first child, we have deep feelings for you, and have always treated you well, and have kept that child outside for so many years, never letting you know about it, for fear that if you knew about it your heart would feel bad and something would happen to you."

"I'm telling you now because I see you're doing better."

"You want money give money, I strongly support whatever you want to do, after so many years, never said a word against you, how many people in my position can do what I did?" Father Mu looked deeply into Mu Ke's eyes, "Do you know how many people with your disease died long ago?"

The smirk on Mu Ke's face widened, "If you guys want to say no to me, it must have been at the very beginning when I was born, right?"

"You must have thought quite a few times that it would have been better if I had died sooner, like those who have the disease."

"Mu Ke--!" Father Mu slapped the table in anger and slapped him hard, "What a bastard thing to say!"

Mu Ke was slapped so hard that his face was tilted to the side, blood slowly slid down from the corner of his mouth, the side of his face instantly became red and swollen, he laughed in a low voice, sticking out the tip of his tongue to lick away the blood from the corner of his own mouth, turning his head to face Mu Father squarely, he laughed in a gentle and elegant manner, "But on the other hand, I'm so excellent, and it would be a pity for me to die."

"Father, you must have thought quite a few times that if only your illegitimate son were as exceptional as I am, you wouldn't have to choose between us so painfully."

"It's a pity that he can't compare to me." Mu Ke slowly pushed back his chair and stood up, he looked levelly at his speechless father Mu and laughed softly, "The one who lived a long time is just a mediocre waste with mediocre qualifications, the one who lived a short time is so gifted that he can't be asked for more."

"But even so, you've finally made your choice now."

Mu Ke lowered his eyelashes that fluttered a little, his tone even, "It's more important to live a long life."

"You pick him up." Mu Ke owes his parents a small, decent debt of gratitude and heads out the door.

"Xiao Ke," Father Wood suddenly spoke out, his tone slow and tired, "Just now it was Dad's fault, I ...... shouldn't have hit you so hard."

"But you must know that you don't know what day you'll be gone, and your mother and I, we wouldn't dare, and couldn't, put everything and affection on a dying man like you, and any other man, he wouldn't dare to press too much of a chip on you."

"We always have to plan for our future."

Father Wood's voice went heavy as he said:

"You should be satisfied, Xiao Ke."

Mu Ke's back lurched as he gave a quiet hmmm and pushed the door open to walk away, "I'll go find someone willing to put a chip on my shoulder."

Tang Er hit was the first to arrive in the conference room.

Liu Jiayi came behind, her whole body was cleaned up very energetic, the top of her head tied a very tight ponytail, at a glance is to use all the strength of the hands, pull Liu Jiayi's eyes are flying to the sides into a hanging eyes, she looked at Tang Er hit pointed to the top of her head: "Can you give me a loose? It's too tight."

Tang Er hit a slightly awkward tug twice.

Liu Jiayi breathlessly shouted a pause, "Tighter." Her eyes were being pulled into two thin slits.

Xiang Chunhua loves to give her this tight high ponytail for 10 minutes, but Liu Jiayi can't take it, but every time the other girl comes over with a comb in her hand and asks expectantly if she needs her to brush her hair ......

Liu Jiayi couldn't even say no.

Anyway, it's just better than her brother's tie.

After three minutes, Mu Sicheng kicked the door in, and as soon as he took a look at Liu Jiayi's pigtails, which had been pulled to the side, he began to scoff loudly, "What a cliché you are! What a non-mainstream look!"

Liu Jiayi a blank stare over: "Tang Er hit me into this, quickly come over to help me get a little bit, later have to go on stage to accompany Bai Liu lottery."

Mu Sicheng scornfully swept a glance at Tang Er fight, then rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his fists, "Still Captain Tang, you can't even tie a little girl's pigtails well, look at me!"

Fifteen minutes passed.

Liu Jiayi looked expressionlessly at her ripped up chicken nest like look in the mirror, she pulled up the corner of her mouth, "You can't even tie a little girl's pigtails well?"

Mu Sicheng sheepishly withdrew from the range of Liu Jiayi's mirror, his eyes shifting outward: "Everyone has their own areas of ineptitude ......"

Two minutes later, Mu Ke pushed his way in.

Tang Er hit and Mu Sicheng's eyes looked to Mu Ke for help, Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi, who was sitting in a chair with black breath and a head full of chicken nests, looked at each other for a moment and instantly stepped forward in understanding, "Let me help."

An hour later.

Liu Jiayi looked at Mu Ke, who was carefully combing her hair strand by strand, as if she were dead: "Still not well?"

Mu Ke shook his head solemnly, "It'll take about three more hours, I'm putting a hair mask on this split end of yours or it won't be smooth when I tie it up later."

"......" Liu Jiayi collapsed on the table with empty eyes, "I just wanted to tie a pigtail ...... "

Mu Ke shook his head disapprovingly, "You're very popular, you should have every strand of hair handled properly."

"I'd better wait for Bai Liu to come over and get it for me." Liu Jiayi jumped up onto the chair and stomped around, pulling away from Mu Ke and holding her face in a complex and contemptuous sigh, "You three men with an average age of over twenty-five, you can kill a monster in a matter of seconds, how come you can't even tie a pigtail on a kid like me? Is that hard?"

"Are all men so uncoordinated?"

Tang Er hit frowned and retorted, "Su Yang is very good at this."

"Nonsense, he's married with kids, of course he's good at it ...... " Liu Jiayi said with a subtle pause in her eyes, "The Reverse God is also good at this, and he can tie different looks. "

"Is this a special skill for married men?"

Liu Jiayi's words just fell, Bai Liu pushed the door and walked in, his afterglow swept Liu Jiayi sitting cross-legged on the chair, his eyes moved up to see Liu Jiayi by Tang Er beat and pulled to the right side of the ponytail, set in Mu Sicheng made out of the chicken nest ponytail.

Naturally, he reached up to undo this ponytail, combing two simple strokes through the half-conserved hair Mu Ke had done with his five fingers, quickly gathering the broken hair around it, separating it into three strands and overlapping them twice, loosening the rubber bands hanging from his wrists and tying them up easily.

A quick and easy braid with the right amount of looseness is ready, and the whole process takes less than three minutes.

Liu Jiayi: "......"

Tang Er typed: "......"

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Mu Ke: "......"

Bai Liu looked towards these team members who were looking at him with strange expressions and raised an eyebrow as he asked rhetorically, "Why are you looking at me with this expression that I seem to be a good wife and mother?"
