Take It Easy

Xiao Jiu, if you run a second slower, I might kiss you desperately.

Yang Ling and Tang Yuanzhou had already fallen asleep.

Zhou Yi was afraid that he would wake them up and be unable to explain why he went out, so he had no choice but to walk out of the house with his hands tied, and he finally took a breath when he walked into the street where he was about to fall asleep.

Her steps are very gentle, and every time she takes a step forward, she asks herself "Are you okay?"

If she is not ill, she will never allow Mu Qinglin to find her.

It's past eleven o'clock now.

"Hey, it's so late, who are you looking for?" The provincial gate guard stopped Zhou Yi who had walked to the door, and asked her.

Zhou Yi glanced into the sentry box, but Lao Cai was not there.

"Look for Mu Qinglin." Zhou Yi said.

The doorman was a young kid who was afraid of making mistakes and strictly followed the regulations. He took the visitor record book and questioned Zhou Yi for a long time, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call Director Mu and ask her to come pick you up. One can't get in."

Zhou Yi let out a "hmm" and turned to look at the familiar office building of Provincial Taiwan.

Nothing seems to have changed, the buildings are still as high, the lights are still as bright, and the people are still so...beautiful...

"Wait for me a while." Mu Qinglin came over quickly, shook Zhou Yi's bare forearm, and walked up to talk to the guard, "Xiao Jin, this is my sister, I asked her to come here."

Xiao Jin nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'm about to call you."

"Pen..." Mu Qinglin took the visitor record book and prepared to register for Zhou Yi.

Xiao Jin handed over the pen with both hands, and said, "It's already registered, just sign later."

Mu Qinglin, "Hmm..."

After signing, Mu Qinglin called Zhou Yi, and walked in side by side with her.

There was a distance of less than half a meter between the two, and neither of them took the initiative to speak. The surrounding air was dry and silent, which made those who were already hesitant even more guilty.

Zhou Yi pursed her lips and tried to open up the topic, "Where's Lao Cai?"

Mu Qinglin said: "I retired the year before last, and now I am enjoying my grandchildren at home every day, enjoying the happiness."

"Very good..." Zhou Yi replied, a lifetime is not long, nothing is more precious than an ordinary life, she has long understood this, and planned it, but later things backfired.

"Lao Cai mentioned you before he left." Mu Qinglin said suddenly.

Zhou Yi paused, turned his head to look at Mu Qinglin's profile, which was warmed by the dim street lights, "What did he say?"

Mu Qinglin cleared her throat, and imitated Lao Cai's tone, "Why hasn't your little friend come over these past few years? I've always thought about inviting her to drink tea. There are so many people coming and going in and out of the stage every day. Sai has a high degree of education, but in the end he is not even as good as a kid who just entered college, and he knows how to say thank you when he drinks my tea.

After finishing speaking, Mu Qinglin laughed first, turned to look at Zhou Yi who had lowered her eyelashes and said, "Xiao Jiu, I never asked why Lao Cai likes you so much?"

How did Zhou Yi know, it seems that from the first time they met, Lao Cai liked her very much, not only invited her to blow the heater in the sentry box, but also warmed her hands with hot tea.

She still remembered that she was ordered by Tang Yuanzhou to apologize to Mu Qinglin with the newly cooked pork ribs when she came back—

Mu Qinglin saved her life from those bastards, but she locked Mu Qinglin out of the door, but she was very angry. Tang Yuanzhou was very angry when he discovered this evil deed through surveillance. However, The last thing the bucket of ribs went into was her stomach.

"Maybe Lao Cai didn't give birth to a daughter himself, so it depends on how other people kiss each other." Zhou Yi said casually.

Mu Qinglin smiled, and swiped open the door with his badge to let Zhou Yi advance.

After that, they waited for the elevator, went upstairs, and came to Mu Qinglin's office. The two of them didn't say a word.

"What do you want to drink?" Mu Qinglin asked Zhou Yi who was observing his office without any trace.

Zhou Yi said, "I'm not thirsty..."

"Orange juice, then."

"..." Mu Qinglin went out with a water glass, came back in less than three minutes, and gave Zhou Yi a glass of iced fresh orange juice.

Zhou Yi said, "Thank you..."

Mu Qinglin didn't say anything, walked to the desk and sat down, turned on the computer, and tapped on the keyboard.

A series of mechanical sounds struck Zhou Yi's heart, and within a short while she was disturbed. Just as she was about to ask Mu Qinglin why she was here, she saw her look away from the screen and looked at her. To himself, "Xiao Jiu, come here."

Zhou Yi subconsciously clenched the water glass, and found that Mu Qinglin was looking at her hand, so she immediately relieved herself, put the glass on the table, walked to her table and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mu Qinglin got up, leaned on the back of the chair with one hand and said, "Come and sit..."

Zhou Yi stood still for two seconds, then walked over and sat down under Mu Qinglin's gaze.

Mu Qinglin's body temperature still remained in the chair.

Zhou Yi feels like sitting on pins and needles.

From the corner of the eye, she caught a glimpse of Mu Qinglin leaning down with her hands on the edge of the table, and she could hardly resist standing up.

Mu Qinglin's arm was just next to her shoulder, it was too close, she could smell a faint fragrance on her body with just a breath, it was obviously cool and elegant, very suitable for summer, but Zhou Yi felt dizzy, Nerves tightened.

Mu Qinglin didn't seem to notice Zhou Yi's stiff body, so he opened a folder with the mouse, and said at a place not more than ten centimeters away from her: "The papers here need your help to translate into English. The degree is sorted, and the file suffix is ​​also marked with the latest delivery date, you can see if there is any problem."

Zhou Yi glanced roughly, there should be no problem, but, "These are the papers in Teacher Mu's project?"

There is no need for Mu Qinglin to hide things that can be seen from the name of the file, "Yes, Mr. Mu is too busy recently, let me find someone to look it up. Can you help me?"

What can I do for you, Mu Qinglin is a student of English and knows so many people, she can find publication-level translations if she wants to, so where can she get a layman?

Seeing the word "Optics" in the title of the document, she knew that Mu Qinglin had come to pick it up for her from Mu Zhenghuai.

Moreover, as early as in the hospital, she had already asked her if she was the easiest translator, so there was no need to guess.

Do you want to decline?

Zhou Yi asked herself in her heart.

It's better not to be shameless, the more hypocritical you are, the longer you drag her.

Zhou Yi settled down and asked Mu Qinglin, "Do you want the first chapter tomorrow?"

Mu Qinglin nodded, "Well, this article was added temporarily. It is for graduate students who are doing experiments outside and don't have time to translate it by themselves. The submission for the EI conference will be accepted by the system tomorrow night."

Zhou Yi said, "Okay, I will definitely finish reading tonight."

Mu Qinglin turned to look at her, "Aren't you sleepy?"

The sudden staring, the distance is still so close.

Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately lifted her hand from under Mu Qinglin's arm, grabbed the mouse and double-clicked to open the file, looked at the statistics at the bottom, and said, "I finished it before I was sleepy."

Mu Qinglin frowned, "You sleep so late every day?"

Zhou Yi, "No, just today. I had nothing to do in the afternoon and went to sleep. I slept too much."

"No wonder..." Mu Qinglin smiled and straightened her body.

When her hand moved away from the edge of the table, Mu Qinglin's naturally hanging fingertips swept across Zhou Yi's arm, and she was so surprised that she couldn't help pressing down her finger on the mouse, and the file was minimized, revealing the screen below.

The background of the screen was darker than the pure white background of the document, Zhou Yi's vision was wrong for a moment, and he felt that hand had landed on his head.

"It's still that lazy bastard, if he can lie down, he must not sit up." Mu Qinglin said with a smile.

Zhou Yi lowered her eyes, her nose was slightly sore, and now she only patted her twice casually with this hand, and rubbed her hair with her fingers for other girls.

pretty good…

The girl in the convenience store looks very obedient, and she smiles very sweetly and well-behaved.

Zhou Yi blinked her eyes, hid her redundant emotions, looked at the screen again and said, "You send the compressed package to my WeChat, and I will send it to you."

Mu Qinglin's raised hand fell down again, pressing on Zhou Yi's shoulder who was about to get up, "Go back and have a computer?"

"No..." Her old computer was taken to school, and later...Gao Ge said that the things she left in the dormitory were taken away by Mu Qinglin.

"Just turn over here, and go back when you doze off." Mu Qinglin said as he walked towards the sofa.

Zhou Yi looked up and saw that she took out a tablet of medicine from her bag, took a pill and poured it into her mouth, and then swallowed it with the orange juice she hadn't finished drinking.

Zhou Yi hesitated to speak, and finally did not remind Mu Qinglin that she had just used that cup, but asked a more urgent question, "What medicine did you just take?"

Mu Qinglin took out a bag of mouthwash and put it in his mouth, spit it out half a minute later, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's a sleep aid. I haven't slept very well in the past few years, especially the week before the menstrual holiday. If you don't take the medicine, you will suffer from insomnia. Two or three o'clock."

Halfway through the conversation, Mu Qinglin had already lay down on the sofa, covered her eyes with her arms, and said softly behind her, "You can't disturb me by turning over yours."

Zhou Yi could clearly see the exhaustion from Mu Qinglin, and subconsciously wanted to ask her why she suffered from insomnia. When the words came to his lips, he remembered what he had done, and all the questions seemed to have answers.

Holding the mouse, Zhou Yi whispered, "Why don't you go home and sleep?"

Mu Qinglin reacted very slowly, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Auntie has symptoms of menopause and can't sleep well at night. I usually don't go back after working overtime after eleven o'clock, so as not to wake her up."

Zhou Yi nodded silently, and probably wouldn't be able to fall back asleep after waking up.

Aunt?

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Mu Qinglin silently.

She moved out to live on her own right after graduation, and now she is going home?

Why?

Is it, or because of her?

Zhou Yi's heartbeat was too slow, she forced herself to pull her gaze away from Mu Qinglin, and reopened the paper.

A dull silence soon spread in the office.

Zhou Yi tapped the keyboard quickly, but her voice was very soft. Just when she thought that Mu Qinglin had fallen asleep and could let go of her hands and feet, she suddenly said, with deep sleepiness in her voice, "When you leave, take Get my badge, or you won't be able to get out."

Zhou Yi paused her fingers, looked up at the beautiful woman on the sofa breathing calmly, and said, "Okay..."

This sound was softer than ever before.

Mu Qinglin's naturally curved fingers curled back, and the corner of his mouth quietly drew an inconspicuous arc, "I'll take you to get the computer after the meeting tomorrow."

Where can I get it? Zhou Yi wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Mu Qinglin, "I'll sleep for a while."

Zhou Yi, "Hmm..."

After that, the small office was so quiet that only the slight sound of keyboard tapping could be heard.

Almost never broke.

Because Zhou Yi always had an illusion that when she stopped, she would hear Mu Qinglin's breathing.

—

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yi finished the translation. She created a new folder, put the typeset document in it, turned off the screen and left.

Halfway there, Zhou Yi touched his pocket, quickly turned back, put something on the floor at the corner of the table, and left again.

Passing the low table in front of the sofa, Zhou Yi bent down to get the badge lying on it.

From this angle, when she raised her eyes casually, she saw Mu Qinglin who had changed from lying on her back to sleeping on her side. One of her arms was hanging outside the sofa, and the other was pressed into the enviable depression of her waist. She breathed lightly and long.

Zhou Yi's not so clear thoughts were disturbed by this scene.

Many years ago, she decided to continue liking Mu Qinglin regardless of the consequences. She was also lying like this, the posture may be different, and the light is not as bright, but the throbbing produced by the long breath is exactly the same.

Zhou Yi's fingertips trembled, and he missed a thin work badge, and let it fall on the table, making a very clear sound.

This sound did not alarm Mu Qinglin at all.

Unexpectedly.

In my impression, Mu Qinglin is very vigilant, if she moves a little, she will wake up in a daze, hold her tighter, and tell her not to mess around.

The inability to wake up is the cause of that pill?

Zhou Yi glanced at Mu Qinglin's bag, and made a big move when he went to get the badge again.

Mu Qinglin still showed no signs of waking up.

Zhou Yi held his badge and remained motionless.

Half a minute later, she walked up to Mu Qinglin and squatted down, looking at her carefully from a distance of only a book.

Time seemed to favor her. Five years, such a long period of time, did not leave any obvious marks on her face. On the contrary, the sense of story that settled between the eyebrows and eyes when they first met was diluted to make people unable to move their eyes. Soft, from the bridge of the nose all the way to the lips...

These lips are terrible when they are kissed on the body, and when they are wrapped around the lips, they become a drug that will make people dizzy and weak. Once touched, they will be completely addicted.

Zhou Yi's fingers pinching the badge tightened, and the dark tide surged in her eyes, pushing her to lean on those lips.

She followed it uncontrollably, and in the blink of an eye, she touched Mu Qinglin's slow breath.

It only needs to move forward an inch to touch her lips.

Zhou Yi watched quietly, as if weighing.

A few seconds later, she suddenly looked away, straightened her body and left Mu Qinglin's office without hesitation.

Soon, Mu Qinglin opened his eyes, the sleepiness in his pupils was gone.

She lay down for a while and sat up, put her hands on her sides, smiled softly, and said, "Xiao Jiu, if you run a second slower, I might kiss you desperately."

Mu Qinglin sighed for a long time, got up, walked to the desk and sat down, opened the document translated by Zhou Yi, read it carefully, helped her correct a few clerical errors, and then sent the document to Mu Zhenghuai's mailbox, leaving a message Said: [Teacher Mu, it's time to pay. 】

It was just after four o'clock when Mu Qinglin finished all this, and he could still sleep for a while. She pushed the edge of the table with both hands and slid the chair back.

Naturally moving down, she glanced at the flashing light at the corner of the table, and Mu Qinglin paused for a moment. After that, she pushed the chair back a bit, and bent over to pick up the things on the ground.

It was the pearl earrings that she was looking forward to meeting Zhou Yi that day. The next day, when she came home from the hospital to take a shower, she found that she had lost one of the pearl earrings. Not blind, can you not see when you go in and out every day?

Besides, how long has she moved in, and how long has she lost her things?

"Heh..." Mu Qinglin couldn't help laughing, looked down at the round pearl in his palm, and asked it softly, "Are you stupid?"

The author has something to say:

Are there any sugar residue in these chapters? yes, yes, yes
