Xie Tingyue thought about it for a long time and shook his head.

He has indeed never seen Chu Mu, but he has done so in his previous life… But who can have a ‘last life’ like him?

He thinks he may be drinking too much, otherwise why would he think about it and feel that the atmosphere is getting more ambiguous? Liquor is easy to drink, so one shouldn’t drink too much.

In short, he couldn’t understand the man in front of him.

But this does not affect his decision, the other party treats him well, sincerely, without malice and has really help him so he should return it.

Take good care of him in the future.

“My brother’s classmate named He, that He family?”

As he was thinking Chu Mu’s clear voice reached his ears.

Little brother?

Xie Tingyue felt these two words came out of Chu Mu’s mouth, he was too close and inexplicably made people feel a bit shy but he quickly shook his head and smiled: “It’s just a children playing, you don’t need to worry”

“This He family, I have heard that it is a businessman from the North, who has recognized the Mu family as godfather—” Chu Mu looked at Xie Tingyue, “The Mu family is the emperor’s merchant, did you know?”

Xie Tingyue nodded.

Not only did he know that the Mu family was the emperor’s merchant but he also know that the Mu family was re-elected emperor’s merchant. They are good at doing business and had good connections.

Chu Mu: “The He family is not a small clan, many people are cooperating with their shops. When you deal with them be careful. And—” He paused

Curious Xie Tingyue asked: “And what?”

After Chu Mu paused, he said warmly: “He family and Qi family are at odds with each other. Many years of feud, it is not just business fight it seems that they are personal enmities.”

Xie Tingyue: “What feud?”

“Such private matters—” Chu Mu thought for a while, “It’s better for the Qi family to say it himself. Have you met Qi Wenhai recently?”

“Hmm”

Xie Tingyue knew what Chu Mu was reminding him, and he praises Chu Mu’s gentlemanly demeanor, not talking behinds people back. The enmity of the Qi family…seems rather hard to say.

Counting the several cups that was used for drinking, he took away the bottle in front of Chu Mu: “Let’s stop here, drink more and you’ll hurt your body. It’s also uncomfortable if you get too drunk.”

Chu Mu seemed surprise by his boldness and smiled: “But I’m not drunk yet, I haven’t have enough drinks. And even if I am, I know you will take care of me.”

But his hands and feet are fast, and took the cup very quickly. Chu Mu, a patient couldn’t stop it even he wanted to, in the end he had to sigh and smile while watching him clean up.

After everything was cleaned up, Xie Tingyue didn’t feel great, he seemed too, a little drunk. He didn’t want to trouble others, so he went to sleep.

He didn’t know how long it has been, a figure came to the bed, sat down and gently stretch out his hand and touched his forehead.

“Those past.. I want you to think about it but I don’t want you to remember”

“Here with me, you can be more presumptuous”

**

At night, Xie Tingyue woke up suddenly.

Chu Mu is sick!

He was in cold sweat, clenched his teeth, his lips were dark blue and his whole body was trembling, his eyes were tightly closed, he was unconscious and did not moan but it was obvious that he was uncomfortable!

Xie Tingyue immediately got up and went out of bed and lit a candlelight: “Someone come!”

He was so anxious that he didn’t even wear his shoes, he checked Chu Mu’s forehead its cold! He touched it again, it’s really cold!

Chu Mu was still trembling, it was impossible to die easily with this temperature but it was just too scary, a living person would not have this kind of condition!

Is it too cold?

Xie Tingyue pulled his quilt and put it on Chu Mu.

Chu Mu seemed to feel more comfortable his brows were slightly loose, but after a while he began to shake again!

Not enough!

The tea on the table is cold and can’t be fed, servants did not arrive yet, he don’t know what medicine to give, and time is running, Xie Tingyue encountered this situation for the first time and do not  know what to do and can only hug Chu Mu tightly.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here, we’ll get the medicine right away…”
