Take It Easy

look straight at me.

There were also a lot of people picking up the medicine, Zhou Yi waited in line for almost ten minutes before finally it was his turn.

When she came over to receive the medicine, Mu Qinglin had already read the manuscript sent by An Xiang, and typed it back sharply.

"Is there anything else going on?" Mu Qinglin asked.

Zhou Yi, "No..." After finishing speaking, she quickly added, "I want to find a temporary worker nearby."

Tang Yuanzhou gave her a lot of money, but it was to be brought back to the team and could not be used for personal use. She had to find a way to earn money to support herself in the next few days.

Zhou Yixin said.

In addition, since she was looking for a job here, she didn't need to take Mu Qinglin's car, and went back with her.

Mu Qinglin didn't analyze the twists and turns in Zhou Yi's heart. When she heard the word "temporary worker", Zhou Yi sent out flyers under the sun for an afternoon, and then sat in front of the computer to translate A whole night of data, occupied by the shocking scene of abruptly exhausting myself to the next step.

Even if Zhou Yi could bear this kind of temporary worker, Mu Qinglin didn't have the energy to stay on the side of the road with her to stay up all night. Besides, didn't she already pay?

When Mu Qinglin was thinking about a problem, his eyes would be a little dark and his expression would be serious.

Zhou Yi panicked from being stared at, and said in a low voice, "I'll go first."

"Wait..." Mu Qing grabbed Zhou Yi's wrist reflexively.

The familiar sense of restraint made Zhou Yi's nerves tense, and he froze in place for an instant.

At the end of that night, Mu Qinglin held her hand like this, panting and kissing her, while using the softest part of his body to push her to the most unbearable height.

She hadn't experienced that fatal taste for a long time, and her body was so sensitive that she couldn't control it, but Mu Qinglin knew her weakness best.

The extreme **** are piled up in the memory time and time again, and now her blood starts to burst with just a slight touch.

Mu Qinglin recalled that night slowly, her mind was not so stable, she unconsciously squeezed Zhou Yi's wrist when she pursed her lips.

Zhou Yi trembled all over, "Sister—"

Just this one word was enough to shatter Mu Qinglin's rationality, she wished she could immediately pull Zhou Yi into her arms, kiss her lips, touch her body, and force her to call her name with the softest voice.

Thinking of the thrilling morning after waking up from the wine, Mu Qinglin calmed down with enthusiasm, and let go of Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi instinctively stepped back.

This action hurt Mu Qinglin's eyes, she held the car keys tightly and said, "Xiao Jiu, don't hate me."

Mu Qinglin's voice was very low, from Zhou Yi's eardrums to her heart, it was so heavy that she even started to have difficulty breathing, she wanted to run away, but Mu Qinglin continued to speak, "I promised you in the hospital, I will definitely I will do it, but what has already happened, I don’t know how to apologize. Xiao Jiu, teach me, what should I do to get your forgiveness?”

Zhou Yi didn't know, she didn't feel for a second that Mu Qinglin was at fault, she asked for everything. Besides, the experience of that night was a treasure to her, and it had nothing to do with an apology.

Mu Qinglin quietly observed Zhou Yi's expression half hidden under the brim of his hat, panic, dodge, anxiety, guilt, everything, except for resentment.

The corners of Mu Qinglin's straight lips loosened quietly, "Or, do you think I only deserve to live in guilt for the rest of my life? Well, it should be like this. You already have someone else, I know it, but you still use that disdainful way Hurting you, I only deserve to live and suffer in the future, and go to **** after death, or one day I will be retaliated by those who have been punished by morality and law through my hands, and die violently on the street..."

"No!" Zhou Yi suddenly said, his words were urgent and heavy, "She and I haven't developed to that level! You don't have to curse yourself like that!"

Mu Qinglin felt turmoil in his heart.

Sure enough, it is false.

The girl she had her eyes on was still unable to hide her thoughts as before, and she only said a few words before she revealed all her secrets.

But, why can he easily turn back the excuse that made her give up, but keep his mouth shut about the real reason for leaving her?

Mu Qinglin's dark pupils locked Zhou Yi tightly, and his heart felt slightly cold.

Xiao Jiu, what happened to you when you were twenty years old?

So small, no one to help you.

Now that I finally mustered up the courage to come back, everyone around me still blames you.

It's hard, and those injuries are painful to look at.

…

Mu Qinglin shook her hand, then lifted it up, and under Zhou Yi's still stubborn gaze, stroked her already long hair, and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, I won't talk about it in the future."

Zhou Yi's eyes shook, recalling what she said just now, she immediately regretted beyond measure, she shouldn't have revealed these hidden clues to Mu Qinglin, but she was too impressed with the word "revenge", and couldn't hear it at all .

She really doesn't know how to act, especially in front of Mu Qinglin.

"You brought me here, do you really want to talk to me about the documentary?" Zhou Yi asked straight to the point, she couldn't last long hanging in the air like this.

Mu Qinglin said: "Not all. We really want to make a documentary, but we are still building a shooting team from yesterday to today, and tomorrow is the first official meeting."

"Hmm..." Zhou Yi responded, she just said on the phone that there will be a meeting tomorrow, "Then why did you call me out today?" Zhou Yi asked.

"I'll take you to see your ears." Mu Qinglin said, "When you came last week, I happened to accompany Fu Xiao for the prenatal checkup, so I should have seen you. Calculate the time, and the follow-up visit will be in about two days. Let you come from the university town by yourself. It will take an hour to come here, anyway, I have something to do, so I want to take you with me."

It turned out to be so.

When Zhou Yi's outrageous thoughts were confirmed, she was not only not happy, but even more flustered, "It doesn't matter anymore," she said cruelly.

"Who said that?" Mu Qinglin laughed, looked at the panic flashing in Zhou Yi's eyes, and said, "Aren't you still willing to call me sister? As long as you still call me, I won't let you go. "

Zhou Yi was speechless, because she had to admit that in order to fulfill the "sister" lie in WeChat, if possible, she actually wanted to be a bad person through and through.

And this "have to" gave Mu Qing the possibility of retiring and the next best thing. She had already grasped it when she was in the hospital, and she will only grasp it more and more firmly in the future.

"Xiao Jiu, I can't lie to you, six years of relationship can't be counted, now Mu Qinglin who is standing in front of you still has a lot of admiration for you.

But she's already pulling herself out really hard, and you have to give her time. Or, you can also cooperate with her, let her adapt to the role of a sister as soon as possible, really let go of you, and start a new life. "Mu Qinglin said the most false words in a sincere tone.

Zhou Yi's first reaction was that her heart seemed to be stung by swarms of bees. Thinking that Mu Qinglin could live a new life, she immediately held down the soreness gushing in her chest, and asked her, "How to cooperate?"

Mu Qinglin said: "Look at me like a steamed stuffed bun asking me what kind of stuffing I want to eat in the morning."

"..." The boss looked at it, when it was time to leave, could she still move?

But Mu Qinglin said: "You always avoid, who do I turn to to adapt to the new identity? Xiao Jiu, at the beginning, didn't you just want to be my friend? Isn't it good to return to the original point calmly now?"

"it is good…"

"Then don't keep your head down..." Mu Qinglin lifted Xia Zhouyi's chin with his knuckles, and said with a smile, "I didn't train you. Even if I did, are you sure you reacted like this before?"

no.

I used to walk sideways quickly.

"Okay, let's go first, standing here can't block the way." Mu Qinglin hooked Zhou Yi's shoulder, led her out, and asked by the way: "Is it easier to translate for temporary workers?"

It doesn't matter whether it's smooth or not, she can do any job now, that is, "Translation makes a lot of money."

Mu Qinglin laughed all of a sudden, "Little money fan..."

Mu Qinglin's familiar teasing tone was exactly the same as before, hearing it in Zhou Yi's ears, it almost made her heart stop.

She knew that if she wanted to live, she had to stay away from her sister, but she wanted her sister to live a new life more.

—

In the end, Zhou Yi was sent back by Mu Qinglin herself. She said she was going to school to pick up Mu Zhenghuai, so she dropped by.

This is true.

Mu Zhenghuai only had classes in the morning today, and had to go back to the research institute in the afternoon.

"Dad, do you have any materials that need to be translated recently?" Mu Qinglin asked.

Mu Zhenghuai, the co-driver, was looking at his mobile phone, and said melancholy: "Yes, there are several papers, adding up to hundreds of pages. Last week, Yan Chao arranged for someone to translate, and there has been no movement until now. , if you really delay the deadline for me, see how I deal with him."

It was rare for Mu Qinglin to see Mu Zhenghuai get angry, so he smiled and said, "Give it to me, I'll find someone to help her solve some financial difficulties."

Mu Zhenghuai regained his energy immediately, "Chinese to English, there are still a lot of professional vocabulary in it, can you find the right person?"

Mu Qinglin let out an "um" and said, "She has learned..."

"Who is it?" Mu Zhenghuai asked.

Mu Qing remained silent for a while, then said, "Zhou Yi..."

Mu Zhenghuai turned his head and carefully studied Mu Qinglin's expression, "Yanyan, do you know what you are doing?"

Mu Qinglin said: "There is no time when it is clearer than now."

"Have you forgotten what Dad said to you on the phone that day?"

"I haven't forgotten. You said that she has something on her mind. I've confirmed it. There is indeed. I want to know these things."

Mu Zhenghuai's speech speeded up, "Even if these things ultimately require you to make a choice, and it's a difficult choice, you still need to know?"

Mu Qinglin glanced at Mu Zhenghuai quickly, "Dad, what did Xiao Jiu tell you?"

Mu Zhenghuai said in a deep voice, "Not much, except for this sentence, she also said that this choice has something to do with her, and she is afraid that you will choose her."

Mu Qinglin parked on the side of the road, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and calmly organized her thoughts: what happened to Xiaojiu was related to her, and she had to make a choice in this matter, and the range of choice was between Xiaojiu and another or more Between two unknown partners, Xiao Jiu was afraid that she would choose herself.

Fear presupposes conflict.

Where there is intersection, there is conflict.

But the intersections in their life circles have always been pitifully rare. Tang Yuanzhou, Yang Ling, Peipei... Among the known intersections, there is no conflicting person or thing at all.

Mu Qinglin was in a state of confusion.

Mu Zhenghuai was afraid of her like this, coupled with Zhou Yi's evasive attitude, he didn't dare to say anything. Now that the conversation was out of the way today, he had to express his worries, "Yanyan, Dad can tell Zhou Yi Yi has feelings for you, and it is very deep. If she is willing to give up you to settle one matter, then this matter must be a dilemma between you. The person who makes the choice is the one who bears the consequences in the end, Yanyan , you should think about it."

"Think it over..." Mu Qinglin looked ahead, his eyes were firm, "No matter what I have to bear, I must know what happened to her at the age of twenty!"

Mu Zhenghuai couldn't help but sighed and said, "I'll send you the thesis later, don't pay the money, I'll let Yan Chao count it into the project funds."

Mu Qinglin let go of the steering wheel, turned to look at Mu Zhenghuai and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Mu Zhenghuai didn't want to talk, so he waved his hands and looked outside.

Mu Qinglin also didn't make a sound, but she knew that she should make a psychological preparation, a psychological preparation that was strong enough to resist any unknown.

—

In the evening, Yang Ling suddenly called Zhou Yi and asked her when she would leave. She hesitated for a few seconds and said truthfully, "I have something to do at the moment, so I have to stay for a few more days."

"That's great! Go home for dinner tonight!" Yang Ling said without any rejection: "I'll let Tang Yuanzhou cook your favorite dishes right away!"

Unable to stop Zhou Yi, he confronted the call record that Yang Ling had unilaterally terminated for a while, got up and went out to take the car.

After staggering for more than an hour, he finally arrived at Hongmen Lane. Zhou Yi was standing in front of the stone lion at the east gate, his heart pounding.

Mu Qinglin was always leaning here to wait for her.

She had also tasted what it was like to sit at the foot of a stone lion and wait for someone. After waiting for a long time, she was too uncomfortable to talk to that person anymore. Her sister waited for her for five years.

Five years, what concept...

Zhou Yi walked to the side of the stone lion step by step, supported it with one hand, and slowly pressed his forehead against it.

She seemed to feel the sharp pain of being grabbed by someone's heart. It was unbearable at first, but the stamina was equally strong.

Her sister stayed here for a long time, and she must have been paralyzed by the pain when she left.

Zhou Yi curled up her hand on it, pinching her palm with her nails.

"Xiao Jiu?"

A voice suddenly came from the side.

Zhou Yi paused, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his chest, and looked up.

It was the owner of the steamed meat shop she used to go to get bones for Wangcai, then Grandma Miao from the bun shop, Xiao Hu from the clinic, Uncle Ge from the grain and oil shop...

Zhou Yi walked all the way back to Buddha and Demon, and was very popular.

Some people even shed tears in Buddha Demon, such as Bei Nan.

Ming Kai said that her previous board was kept well and turned on once a week, and it still works well now.

Xiao Hei said that the front desk had changed to real flowers, and she could pick them as she wanted, and he would pay for them when they were bald.

Tang Yuanzhou said: "I'm back, so I'll stay here tonight."

Surrounded by kindness, Zhou Yi said with red eyes, "Okay..."

Coming up after the meal, Zhou Yi found that the furnishings in the room were the same as before, even the location of the trash can hadn't changed, and the bedding and toilet utensils in the bathroom had been replaced with new ones.

The sense of familiarity that came over her face made Zhou Yi mistakenly think that she was just on a long trip, so she pulled the chair under the desk and sat down. As before, I stepped on the beam of the desk, tilted up the chair and swayed.

On the opposite side, the Provincial Taiwan Building is still brightly lit.

Zhou Yi unconsciously went to find Mu Qinglin, and found her from room to room on the second floor, but she was nowhere to be seen.

The upturned chair stopped in mid-air.

Zhou Yi looked in that direction, his calm heartbeat gradually quieted down. The light fell from above, casting a shadow between her eyebrows and eyes.

She seemed to have lost only the most important thing during this trip.

Zhou Yi's head rested on the back of the chair, her eyes were blurred by the bright light above her head and hurt, she couldn't help but lower her head to hide, and bumped into the newly added bright light on the opposite side.

On the third floor, just a small room.

There was a man standing by the glass wall, looking in her direction.

Zhou Yi saw clearly who that person was, and was startled, the chair lost its balance and fell straight backward.

Zhou Yi fell on his back to the ground and hit the back of his head, the pain made him a little dazed, and he lay there for a long time before he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.

Zhou Yi slowly took out the phone from his pocket.

There was a message on the old WeChat, which was sent by...Mu Qinglin, she asked: [Is it hurting from the fall? 】

Zhou Yi wanted to say "Yeah", but hung his fingers on the keyboard for a long time, and replied: [No]

Mu Qinglin: [Then why don't you get up? 】

Zhou Yi pinched the phone and looked at it for a few seconds, then slowly got up from the ground, sat down on the chair, and replied: [Get up]

Mu Qinglin said: [If you really have nothing to do, come to my place and find you a job to earn money...]

Zhou Yi was taken aback for a moment, and quickly raised his head to look across.
