Is this person trying to talk to him?

Ning You is not sure.

In his circle, very few people will talk to him about topics of color. The only time was at a company party when an employee came back from a trip to Japan and told what he had seen and heard, saying that a beautiful woman is called "bijin" in Japanese, and another employee immediately answered, "Isn't that beautiful man called jida?"

At that time, all the employees laughed together, and only Ning You didn't realize it until the next morning. It was a dirty joke.

He doesn't think Li Mu is a frivolous person, on the contrary, he thinks Li Mu is very simple and honest.

He looked at Li Mu in bewilderment, not knowing whether Li Mu felt embarrassed or what, he threw the sentence "I'll chop wood, call me when I'm done" and went to the other corner of the courtyard.

Ning You was the only one left beside the big ox, and his full body was still waiting for him to "squeeze it dry".

He put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and concentrated on the work at hand.

There was a rhythmic sound of chopping wood and the sound of milk pouring into an iron bucket in the yard. Although the two of them didn't discuss anything, they inadvertently formed a tacit understanding.

At this time, if an acquaintance of Ning You came to visit the chalet, they would be surprised that this young master, who did not touch the sun with his fingers, could milk the cow in such a down-to-earth manner.

More than ten minutes later, Ning You squeezed a whole bucket of milk. He stood up and pounded his sore lower back, and shouted to Li Mu, "Li Mu, I'm done."

"Okay." Li Mu slashed down with an axe and split the round log into two halves, "You put it over there, I'll install it later."

In fact, Ning You knew where the plastic bucket for milk was placed. He could finish the finishing work together, but seeing Li Mu's neat chopping of wood, he suddenly became interested, and went to Li Mu's side and asked: "Can I try?"

Li Mu wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm, looked at Ning You suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure?"

Milking a cow doesn't require much physical strength, and chopping firewood requires not only physical strength, but also a test of skills. Li Mu always felt that this was not something the weak Ning You could do.

"Don't underestimate me." Ning You felt Li Mu's questioning and said slightly dissatisfied.

When he was the chief engineer of the company, there were many people who didn't say it on the surface and questioned his ability behind the scenes. But later, he proved with his strength that the chief engineer is not necessarily the one who can do scientific research the most, but he must be the one who can manage the most scientific research.

"That's fine." Li Mu picked up a log from his feet and erected it on the pier, cut a small hole with the axe, and then said to Ning You, "First let the axe head get stuck like this, and then lift it up together with the wood. , and then use the strength of the waist to drive the arms to split down hard, which will be easier."

Ning You remembered that when Li Mu split firewood, he didn't start with a small cut.

"Okay, I'll try it out."

In the first step, Li Mu had already prepared for Ning You, and then Ning You only needed to raise the axe and chop it down.

However, he took the long axe handle from Li Mu's hand and lifted it up with force, and a trace of regret flashed in his heart immediately.

This is too, Shen, too.

"Can you carry it?" Li Mu asked.

"Can."

Although Ning You is not strong, he is good at physics. He adjusted the distance between his hands and lifted the axe smoothly, but when the axe gradually passed over his head, an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.

Oops, out of control.

By the way, use your waist to exert force.

Ning You wanted to get the over-the-top axe back on track, but he overestimated his ability to control his body.

Seeing that he was about to be pulled backwards by the axe, Li Mu took the axe in his hand with one hand and wrapped his waist with the other, so that he could successfully avoid falling.

"Don't carry it if you can't carry it." Li Mu lowered his eyes and looked at Ning You in his arms.

"I can carry it." Ning You grabbed the clothes on Li Mu's chest with his hand, "I just didn't carry it in the right place."

Li Mu found that Ning You was leaning on his arm, and had no intention of standing up straight. He glanced at the hand holding his clothes, looked at Ning You inexplicably and asked, "Aren't you up yet?"

"I, my waist flashed." Ning You whispered.

Li Mu had a headache: "Are you an idiot?"

Without waiting for Ning You to answer, he paid attention to the position of his hands and hugged Ning You Heng.

"Lie down."

Back in the house, Li Mu put Ning You on the quilt, and then went to the medicine cabinet to get a bottle of safflower oil.

Ning You picked up the clothes on her back and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."

Really troublesome.

Li Mu didn't allow Ning You to sleep on his bed, just to avoid unnecessary reverie. But now looking at the slender waist that Yingying was holding, he only felt that his head hurt a lot more than before.

In order to fully expose the waist to facilitate the application of the medicine, Li Mu pushed down Ning You's trousers waist, and inevitably saw two waist pockets.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of sunlight all the year round, the skin on Ning You's back is softer than tofu, and Li Mu didn't wash his hands after chopping firewood, just smeared safflower oil on the white skin, he somehow had a strange feeling. ...the feeling that he has soiled the eldest lady.

Can't think any more.

Li Mu raised his head and tried his best not to look down, but someone who was lying on his stomach just didn't make him feel better.

"Um...ah...it hurts..."

"Shut up." Blue veins appeared on Li Mu's forehead, "What the hell is the big man shouting?"

But it just hurts.

Ning You bit his lower lip aggrievedly, but Li Mu obviously relaxed his movements. After rubbing a few times, the pain gradually replaced the comfort.

"Um...yes...that's where..."

Li Mu: "?"

For a moment, Li Mu suspected that Ning You was doing it on purpose.

But he looked at Ning You's heartless humming, and was sure that the white swan didn't think about that at all.

After rubbing the safflower oil, Li Mu sat down beside Ning You cross-legged and said, "Ask you something."

"Huh?" Ning You turned her head to look at Li Mu.

"How old are you?" Li Mu said.

"Guess what?" Ning You didn't answer directly.

Li Mu's age has never been accurate, especially since he has been in many mountainous areas in recent years, and he has come into contact with people who never take care of their skin. Before, he even recognized women in their thirties as aunts in their fifties.

But Ning You's age should not be difficult to guess.

"Twenty-two, three." Li Mu said.

As an older young man who had reached the age of twenty-nine, Ning You was very satisfied with Li Mu's evaluation of him.A smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "You guessed it right."

Li Mu nodded and said casually, "My brother."

Soon, Li Mu will turn twenty-six years old, so no matter whether Ning You is twenty-two or twenty-three, he is older than Ning You.

And Ning You didn't expect Li Mu to come here, he turned his head rebelliously and said, "No."

"Nothing to eat." Li Mu said.

The rebellion in Ning You's heart was fleeting. He knew that Li Mu was his great benefactor. In addition, Li Mu in his eyes was at least thirty-five years old, and it was not too much for him to call Li Mu a brother.

Thinking of this, Ning You turned her head again, buried the lower half of her face in her arms, looked at Li Mu and said in a muffled voice, "...Brother."
