Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 118 Doesn’t That Still Mean You Like Me?

"Hanyu, can you understand the game?" Mo's mother looked at the monsters fighting below, touched Mo Hanyu's hand, and asked softly.

"...Okay." Mo Hanyu actually had no interest in these things. He just sat down here because he knew Qin Xiao would come. He didn't expect to change seats in the end.

As Mo Hanyu was thinking this, his mother seemed to see through his thoughts and asked with a smile, "You have a good relationship with that kid from the Qin family, right? I remember... his name is Qin Xiao?"

"Yes." Mo Hanyu's mouth curled up uncontrollably when he heard his mother mention Qin Xiao. "He is my friend, my first friend."

Mo Hanyu held his mother's hand in reverse, as if recalling something interesting, his eyes emitting a gentle and bright light, and he was in high spirits: "I was a little scared when I saw him at first, but he is really nice... I like him very much."

Mother Mo chuckled: "You told me this yesterday...really."

Last night, Mo Hanyu went to his parents' room as promised and talked to his mother. Although his mother was afraid that Mo Hanyu would be nervous and asked Mo Jian to hide, Mo Hanyu still knew it the moment he entered the room.

Although Mo Hanyu didn't know why, he still pretended to be ignorant and talked to his mother. As he talked, he relaxed and told her everything about Qin Xiao and the others - of course, he didn't mention a word about Mo Ze.

After listening to his description, Mo's mother seemed to be interested in Qin Xiao and asked him if he could introduce him to her. Mo Hanyu naturally agreed, and was so excited that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he got up a little late the next day. As a result, Qin Xiao didn't call him and left with the two of them...

When Mo Hanyu thought of this, his expression became gloomy again.

"How about inviting Qin Xiao to have dinner together after the game today?" Mo's mother asked with a smile, "Although you are often together, I haven't spoken to him yet."

"No need." Mo Hanyu thought about what happened just now, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He shook his head and said, "No need to call him. I won't play with him for the next two days."

Mo's mother:?

"What's wrong? Weren't you fine just now?" Mo's mother laughed.

Mo Hanyu was upset and told her what happened this morning: "He didn't even call me. When I asked him, he lied and said he was afraid of disturbing me... It's true."

When Mo Hanyu thought of this, his lips pursed slightly, seeming very unhappy.

"Then what are you going to do?" Mo's mother blinked and asked.

"Hmm..." Mo Hanyu thought about it carefully, "Then I won't talk to him all day today."

Mother Mo was amused when she heard Mo Hanyu's childish words: "Well, then we won't go find him and let him know his mistake."

Mo Hanyu nodded vigorously: "That's right."

Mo's mother looked at Mo Hanyu's lively expression, found it interesting, and her eyes were full of smiles.

In fact, Mo Hanyu rarely smiled.

Maybe it was because Mo Jian forbade him to go out when he was a child, and she was busy at the time, so she could only let Mo Hanyu stay alone in the room. After a long time, Mo Hanyu spoke very little, and even didn't say two words for three days. He didn't smile when he saw them coming. He seemed to be more mature than other children, knowing that they would eventually leave after they came, leaving him alone in the room.

Mo's mother once told Mo Hanshang to spend more time with his younger brother, but Mo Hanshang was a restless person. He went to college and made friends, so he basically spent all his time playing with his friends. He only returned home once every six months or so, and when he returned home, he would only visit Mo Hanyu once every two or three days.

Sure enough, although Mo Hanshang was always very enthusiastic towards Mo Hanyu, Mo Hanyu's feelings towards Mo Hanshang became cold. Both his expression and attitude were completely cold.

Mo's mother once asked him the reason. Mo Hanyu was silent for a long time, and then he spoke when his mother thought he would not answer.

"He'll hate me."

At that time, Mo's mother did not understand why Mo Hanyu said that. Even now, she did not understand why Mo Hanyu was so sure. She tried to persuade him softly for a long time, but Mo Hanyu did not say anything. He just shook his head and turned his back to her, obviously not wanting to communicate anymore.

Mo's mother felt alienated at that moment, and this feeling made her panic. So she spent a few months to solve her own problems, and then stayed in Mo Hanyu's room, chatting and playing games with him. At first, Mo Hanyu didn't want to communicate with her, he just sat quietly in the corner of the bed, staring at her without saying a word.

It took Mo's mother several months to get Mo Hanyu able to communicate normally with others. She taught him to read and write, and patiently tried to understand his inner thoughts, but it was not smooth sailing.

Mo Hanyu seemed to have built a wall in his heart, refusing anyone's inquiry and isolating himself inside. He was like a detached bystander, watching her busying around with cold eyes, always standing inside the wall without responding.

Sometimes Mo's mother even doubted whether he found this funny.

When Mo Mu asked him what he wanted to do, he always had only one answer:

He wants to go out.

Mo's mother patiently told him that it was not possible for the time being, and to wait a little longer, wait a little longer...

Wait until you are strong enough to protect yourself, then go out.

But Mo Hanyu still couldn't help it.

He ran away in the winter when he was five years old. It was a snowy winter with a biting cold wind that seemed to cut through the bones and hurt people.

When Mo's mother found out, she was terrified and immediately informed Mo's father. Mo Jian acted quickly and found him before anything happened.

Looking at the child with his head hanging down weakly and his eyes blank in Mo Shan's hands, Mo's mother suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

But Mo Hanyu was not as she imagined. After being scolded by Mo Jian, he was silent all night. The next day when Mo's mother went to see him, she found that Mo Hanyu was as if nothing had happened and was frighteningly well-behaved.

Mo's mother wondered if he had been separated from his peers for too long, so she suggested that children of similar age in the tribe play with him. However, those children seemed to be very repulsed by Mo Hanyu because of his appearance.

Children can't hide things, whether they are kind or malicious, they express it quite directly. And Mo Hanyu is a sensitive child, he can easily sense their attitudes and emotions from others. Although he didn't say it clearly, Mo's mother could tell from his subtle expressions that interacting with those children made him feel painful.

Mo's mother originally wanted to look for other children who could date Mo Hanyu, but Mo Hanyu's condition obviously did not support her doing so, so she had no choice but to give up.

Then comes awakening.

After learning that Mo Hanyu was a natural evil cultivator, Mo's mother looked as bad as Mo Jian's, but she quickly calmed down and wanted to say something to Mo Hanyu, but was stopped by Mo's father.

“…I want him to go into the mountains.”

Although Mo Jian looked heavy-hearted and it was obviously difficult for him to make this choice, he still said so.

When Mo's mother heard this, she was stunned at first, and finally couldn't help but get furious.

"I can't let my child go to that kind of place, Mo Jian. You've locked him up for such a long time, and now you let him go to such a dangerous place alone. Is there something wrong with your brain? Isn't Mo Hanyu your child?"

Father Mo looked at her with a complicated look. After she finished venting, he said softly, as if explaining, "He will have to go there eventually... I asked the national teacher, and he said that there are his things there, and he needs to go there."

"Let that Imperial Master go to hell!" Mo's mother said angrily, "How much does he know about Han Yu?"

"...I know more than you think." Mo Jian had an unpleasant expression on his face. He took something out of the bookcase next to him and handed it to her.

It's a painting.

"This was painted by the national teacher, from Han Yu's birth to the present day." Mo Jian said. Although it goes without saying, Mo's mother also saw it.

The painting depicts Mo Hanyu at different ages: just born, one year old, two years old...six years old.

"What does that mean? Maybe he just—"

"Ningzhi, you clearly know it." Mo Lan seemed very tired. He rubbed his forehead and looked at her weakly.

"On the reverse side, there's a portrait of Mo Ze." Mo's father said again. Mo's mother turned it over and was stunned when she saw the person.

This painting is of extremely high quality and lifelike. If it weren't for the crease just now, Mo's mother would have doubted whether he would walk out of the painting in the next second.

"Is this Mo Ze?" Ye Ningzhi asked suspiciously.

"It's exactly the same as the portrait handed down by the Mohist school." Mo Jian covered his forehead and closed his eyes.

Although there are many things that prove that the National Master really knows Mo Hanyu very well, Ye Ningzhi still disagrees and even proposes to duel with Mo Jian.

"I'll listen to you if you win." Ye Ningzhi, who had never fought with him since they got together, said this.

Mo Jian of course did not agree, saying that he would not do it. If he did it unilaterally, he would definitely get hurt, and Ye Ningzhi would feel bad. Ye Ningzhi looked at him for a long while, and left after saying "When Mo Hanyu comes back, come find me then"

When Mo Hanyu left, Ye Ningzhi cried in bed for half the night and her eyes were swollen the next day. She didn't see Mo Jian for several days. Although she was confused, she ignored it because she was still angry.

After Mo's father went back, she started a unilateral cold war. No matter what Mo's father said, she looked indifferent and didn't want to pay attention to him. Until Mo Hanshang came back and had a big fight with Mo Jian and flew away from home. Looking at Mo Jian who was tired and sighing in the room, Ye Ningzhi couldn't bear it after all. She sighed, walked in and hugged him.

It's said to be four years, but who can say for sure whether he can come back or not. Just when Ye Ningzhi and others were getting so anxious that they wanted to find out where the place was and demolish it, Mo Hanshang walked into the house carrying Mo Hanyu.

Looking at the child she hadn't seen for four years, Mo's mother was so excited that she almost cried. She hugged Mo Hanyu tightly and stroked his slightly longer hair. She felt that he seemed to have gained muscles, grown taller, and his body became stronger.

She had imagined countless times what kind of expression Mo Hanyu would have towards her when he returned home, complaining, indifferent, disappointed... even resentful. But Mo Hanyu had none of those. He happily hugged her back, and like other children, he smiled and told her that he missed her very much.

Ye Ningzhi was deeply moved, tears streaming down her face, and she didn't notice at all that the father and son were quarreling again.

Mo Hanyu has changed a lot since his return. His personality has become more cheerful and he smiles more often. Mo's mother even thought that it might not be such a bad idea to let him go on this trip.

This thought was completely wiped out after seeing the scars on Mo Hanyu's body.

Although Mo Hanyu said it was nothing, Ye Ningzhi was so heartbroken that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so she woke Mo Shan up and scolded him.

Although Mo Hanyu has changed a lot, Ye Ningzhi always feels that he is still suppressing something. Until she came here and found that Mo Hanyu's eyes were shining when he was interacting with Qin Xiao, and he laughed more times than he had since he was a child, Mo's mother became interested in Qin Xiao.

Ye Ningzhi looked at Mo Hanyu tenderly and touched his head again: "Does it still hurt?"

Mo Hanyu was slightly stunned, and shook his head, seeming a little embarrassed: "No...it's nothing actually."

Mo Hanyu looked at her and whispered, "I think... he should have realized his mistake. Otherwise, I..."

Mo's mother found it a little funny. It had been less than ten minutes since he said that, but he had already coaxed her into submission.

Mo Hanyu pursed his lips and looked at Qin Xiao, only to find that he had fallen asleep.

Perhaps it was out of habit, Qin Xiao leaned against Mo's father unconsciously, and after falling asleep, his head rested relaxedly on Mo's father's arm.

After seeing this, Mo Hanyu couldn't help but grit his teeth, and turned back with a pursed mouth.

Mo's mother obviously saw it too, and she was trying not to laugh. Seeing Mo Hanyu's expression, she suddenly wanted to tease him: "What's wrong? Do you want me to ask your father to come back?"

"No need." Mo Hanyu suppressed some anger in his voice, shook his head, and tried to make himself look not so concerned, "It's better to watch the game here."

Mother Mo couldn't help but chuckle.

Mo Hanyu's face turned slightly red, and it was unclear whether he was embarrassed or angry.

……

Mo Jian felt something strange in his arm, took a look, and found that it was the Qin family's child who fell asleep, so he didn't pay much attention to it. It was not until several rounds later that the child still did not move and slept soundly that Mo Jian finally had some doubts.

Does this child sleep so well?

The noises around him seemed to want to overturn the venue, and there was a sense of pressure coming from the venue. Although there was isolation, it would still make weaker people feel palpitations. Even so, he could still sleep so soundly...

Have you not had a good sleep for a few days?

Mo Jian thought about Qin Xiao's recent affairs and could understand. It was normal for such a young child to be so tired after worrying about him all day and serving as a sparring partner.

Mo Lan was thinking about it, and then he saw Qin Jinyi being woken up by a slap in the face.

"Get up and watch the game." Qin Jinyi grabbed Qin Xiao's cheek and pulled him up, "You've been leaning on me for several hours."

Qin Xiao opened his eyes, struggling to break free, and looked at Father Mo. He finally realized that he was not Mo Hanyu, and bowed his head to apologize to him.

Mo Jian waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.

Qin Jinyi hugged his neck and whispered in his ear: "This is the last game, don't sleep."

"... Got it." Qin Xiao glanced at the venue tiredly. As expected, Bai Shuheng and Xu Junyi were entering from the entrances on both sides.

Qin Xiao took a look at their magical beasts, which were completely new to him.

"It's about to begin. It's about to begin." Mo Hanshang couldn't help but get excited when he saw this.

Mo Hanyu glanced at him in confusion: "Don't you like Bai Shuheng? Shouldn't you be worried now?"

"I told you, you should call him brother, right?" Mo Hanshang stretched out his hand to hit him, but Mo Hanyu had learned his lesson and hid directly beside Mo's mother. Seeing this, Mo Hanshang had no choice but to reach out and pull his ear.

"And don't talk nonsense. He and I are just friends. We're not in love yet." Seeing that he was struggling hard, Mo Hanshang let go of his hand.

"You still like me." Mo Hanyu glanced at him, "What's the point of being friends if you don't like me?"

"...You're right if you say so." Mo Hanshang paused and decided not to explain to Mo Hanyu the difference between what they said.
