Take It Easy

Chapter 107: as old

I still want her to see her own thoughts, and hope that these thoughts can make her change her mind.

Zhou Yi clenched the steering wheel and quickly glanced at Mu Qinglin.

She had lowered the back of the chair before, but now she was leaning inside with her coat covered, her head tilted to her side, every time Mu Zhenghuai asked, she had to think for a long time before she could answer, the sleepiness was visible to the naked eye.

But didn't people say that the subconscious reaction is the most real reaction?

This person, she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, she could still call her name, and... she even said that going home with her to get the computer meant going home with her.

Is that what you always thought in your heart?

After thinking about it for a long time, I learned to talk in my sleep.

When the red light came on, Zhou Yi stepped on the brakes and stopped the car smoothly in front of the zebra crossing.

She sat quietly for a few seconds, slowly moved her hands on both sides of the steering wheel to the top, bowed and pressed her forehead to the back of her hands, and closed her sore eyes.

After making the phone call, Mu Qinglin opened his eyes, saw Zhou Yi who was lying on his stomach, hooked his finger holding the phone back, and said, "Tired?"

Zhou Yi woke up for a moment, and his mind was slowly clouded by emotions. He sat up and said, "It's kind of annoying to stop and go in the city."

Mu Qinglin was immediately happy, "That's how I came here when I was your driver in the past, and now Feng Shui takes turns. If Mr. Zhou persists, the past period will be fine."

Zhou Yi looked at the red light that was about to end the countdown and remained silent. She actually hopes that this road has no end.

In the second half of the journey, Mu Qinglin didn't go to bed anymore, and was busy replying to WeChat and talking on the phone.

When she arrived at the garage of the community, she still hadn't finished making calls.

Zhou Yi originally wanted to wait, but when he understood her gesture to signal him to go first while the other party was talking, he left the car keys on the seat and went upstairs alone.

The door lock is still the same.

Are her fingerprints still there?

With an attitude of giving it a try, Zhou Yi pressed his finger on it.

There was a crisp sound of "beep", and the door opened.

Zhou Yi curled up with trembling fingers, stood in the corridor for a while, and opened the door to come in.

The furnishings in the house are the same as before.

Her slippers were still placed by the wall, and there was a little monkey on the locker to store the odds and ends, and her upturned tail was tied with a rubber band by her hand. Even so, it hugged her keychain with extra earnestness.

Zhou Yi watched in silence for a while, didn't move anything, leaned on the wall with his hands, bent over to put on slippers and walked inside.

It is still bright at 7:30 in midsummer, and the natural light illuminates the still air, which is clean and cool without a trace of dust.

Every piece of furniture in the house is.

Zhou Yi walked from the living room to the balcony, and from the balcony to the study.

Her public basic course textbooks and the industry treatises that Mu Qinglin scavenged everywhere are a bit out of place.

But when they are squeezed next to them by the white bookend, they seem to be neat and tidy, and there is no distance between them.

On the desk is the business notebook that Mu Qinglin often takes with her when she goes out, as well as the professional graphics notebook she chose for drawing.

Her pencils are six or seven long and short, all of which are stuck in Mu Qinglin's pen holder.

Their personal belongings, mixed together, show her their once overlapping lives.

But these actually happened after she left.

Mu Qinglin brought it back from school alone and put it on.

How would she feel?

In addition to these school utensils, are her clothes and daily necessities put together with hers?

Zhou Yi's calmness was completely changed by what she saw. She strode out of the study and entered the bedroom. She hesitated for a long time before carefully opening the door of the closet.

really…

A lot of her clothes were hung side by side with Mu Qinglin's, even the ugly university uniform, and the camouflage uniform that she almost threw into the trash can after the military training.

Zhou Yi held the cabinet door tightly, his throat was dry and tight.

No wonder Mu Qinglin wanted to go back to the hospital.

She just looked at it as if she was about to be drowned by the huge waves surging in her chest. Living here alone, don't you want to live?

…

"Hey! Who are you! Why are you at Miss Mu's house!" Suddenly, a woman's vigilant voice came from the door of the bedroom. She was already old and sounded strange.

Zhou Yi stood still, and closed the closet door after the turbulent emotions calmed down a little, then turned to look at the door—it was a gray-haired aunt who spoke just now, with an apron hanging around her neck.

"If you don't speak again, I'll call the police!" the aunt pretended to be calm.

Zhou Yi stepped forward and said, "I am her younger sister."

"You're not, I've seen Pepe, it doesn't look like this, ah! I remembered!" Auntie's expression suddenly became excited, she took out her mobile phone from her pocket, tapped the screen with one finger for a long time, excitedly Said: "It's really you! You used to be as white as gnocchi, and your hair wasn't so long! Now it's changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you!"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment by his aunt's words, "Do you know me?"

"I don't know, but I have your photo." The aunt turned the phone, pointed to the photo of her sitting cross-legged on the sofa and eating watermelon, and said, "Miss Mu sent it to me before she moved out, let me remember yours." Look, if she sees you here one day, she will come back."

The blood on Zhou Yi's face faded, "When did it happen?"

"It's been more than four years." The aunt said, "Ms. Mu had an accident while driving. No problem was found at the time. Who knew that the internal bleeding later scared the whole family. After she was released from the hospital, her father personally Take her back."

The aunt recalled the scene that had been a long time ago, "But Ms. Mu seemed reluctant to leave. She almost quarreled with her father because of this, but she agreed after she didn't quarrel. But Ms. Mu didn't bring anything when she left, and she even asked me to leave on a regular basis." Come and clean.

This photo is what she sent me at that time. I thought she would be back in a few days without taking anything with her. Who knew it would be the fifth year in the blink of an eye. "

"It'll be good if you come back." The aunt happily nodded her mobile phone and said, "I'll call Miss Mu right away and ask her to come over!"

"Auntie..." Zhou Yi finally spoke out. The second she heard the word "accident", she became an unconscious dead tree. Every word Auntie said was like a cold storm blowing over her body, wearing away her decayed body. will.

Before breaking, Zhou Yi gritted his teeth hard, not wanting to let his aunt call, and sprinkle a handful of salt on Mu Qinglin's healing wound.

"You don't need to call, she's here." Zhou Yi said.

The aunt laughed loudly, "Oh, it's really you who came, and Miss Mu came back."

Zhou Yi's constricted heart couldn't work normally, and his limbs began to feel numb and cold.

She thought that Mu Qing was afraid to live here when she returned home, but it turned out that someone refused to let her live.

ACCIDENT…

"Auntie, do you know why she had an accident?" Zhou Yi asked calmly.

The aunt shook her head, "I don't know..."

Zhou Yi let out a "huh" and swallowed, trying to make her voice as clear as possible, "Thank you for remembering her so clearly." Otherwise, she might never know it in her life.

The aunt quickly waved her hand, "What's there to thank, Ms. Mu is so nice, I naturally want to remember her. You don't know, when Ms. Mu was still living here, every morning, she would take away the dishes that hadn't been moved at home. I mentioned that the sanitation booth was given to my wife. Without her dishes, our old couple would not even be able to eat a decent meal. Later, it was her salary that helped us pay for our granddaughter’s schooling. We must remember her kindness in our lives , What I said to you is nothing at all."

Zhou Yi said quietly: "She has been fine."

"Yeah, it just makes people feel distressed." The aunt sighed and said with emotion: "My wife was embarrassed to accept Miss Mu's food at first, and asked her why she didn't keep it for herself, and she said she couldn't cook. My wife turned around and asked her why she still had to buy vegetables if she didn’t know how to cook. She said that she waited for a girl to come back and cook for her, but she was taken back by her family before she could wait. Well, thinking about it now, she said That girl is probably you."

Auntie looked at Zhou Yi and said earnestly, "Girl, you won't leave this time, will you?"

Auntie's words pierced Zhou Yi's heart.

No matter who asks this question, no matter how she asks, she will never be able to give them a satisfactory answer.

What should I say so as not to disappoint them?

Zhou Yi stood stiffly, and before the auntie's eyes gradually became tense, there was a sound of opening the door.

Mu Qinglin is back.

The aunt immediately turned around and went out, and said to Mu Qinglin overjoyed: "The girl you asked me to pay attention to is here!"

Mu Qinglin's voice was faint, with a smile in his throat, "Well, I know, I came with her."

"Okay, okay! Then I won't clean up today, you go and talk! The house is clean."

"Well, it's been hard work."

"No hard work, no hard work, let's go."

Soon, Mu Qinglin came to the door of the bedroom with regular footsteps, looked at Zhou Yi with a smile and said, "The computer is not here."

Zhou Yi stood in the already sinking twilight, his heart was oppressed by the heavy emotions, and he couldn't feel it, "After so many years, can it still be used?"

"Yes..." Mu Qing turned around and walked towards the study, "Auntie doesn't know how to use a computer, but she knows how to turn it on. Every time she comes to clean it, she will turn it on for a few hours, and turn it off when she leaves. "

"Did you remind Auntie?" Zhou Yi asked from behind.

Mu Qinglin turned his head, "Mmm..." and then continued to walk inside.

Half a minute later, Mu Qinglin tapped Zhou Yi's computer twice with her thin white fingertips, and said helplessly, "Six seconds to boot, it's even faster than the new one I bought. What kind of computer are you?"

Zhou Yi didn't answer, but looked down at the boot reminder in the lower right corner of the screen, her chest heaved slightly, "Sister, have you ever thought that I might not come back?"

The sudden new topic made Mu Qinglin pause for breath, and after a while, she said softly, "Thought about it..."

Zhou Yi looked up at Mu Qinglin, "In this case, you bought this house for nothing." If you can't live in it, you probably won't rent it either.

It seems that most of the wages of working for so many years are covered by it, and I will continue to pay property fees and parking space management fees in the future...Maybe someday there will be other unknown fees, but so what?

She has someone who wants to live here with her. If she is not here, she can only leave it empty, or one day the family will have no energy to take care of her and come back alone.

It's still too early to tell Zhou Yi about this, Mu Qinglin was afraid of scaring her away, but the words were rushed to this point, she had to say something.

Mu Qinglin thought for a moment, smiled lightly, and said, "That's my fate too, I admit it."

I still want her to see her own thoughts, and hope that these thoughts can make her change her mind.

Mu Qinglin, you are actually quite despicable.

After laughing at himself in his heart, Mu Qinglin found a computer bag and put Zhou Yi's notebook in it, and walked out with it, "It won't happen in the future."

Zhou Yi was still immersed in the impact of Mu Qinglin's last words, and couldn't help herself. After hearing the sound for a long time, she understood the meaning of her words—the words had already been spoken, the relationship had been broken, and she would never stop talking because of her. Stupid.

Zhou Yi felt a little uncomfortable.

Apart from being sad, I am glad.

Well, her sister has long legs and will be able to walk out soon.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Mu Qinglin asked.

Zhou Yi said, "Anything is fine..."

Mu Qinglin couldn't help laughing, "Your words are too embarrassing for me."

"Why don't you go back to where you live and eat at the roadside stall?"

"Brother asked me to live in Hongmen Lane for a few days, so it is convenient to go to your unit."

"That's just right..." Mu Qinglin walked up to Zhou Yi and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten there for a long time, and I still miss the taste."

Zhou Yi pursed her lips and breathed slowly, not revealing why she hadn't gone for a long time, but thinking of those scenes, her voice was still a little tense, "Okay..."

Mu Qinglin glanced at her face, and changed the subject calmly, "Mr. Mu gave me the reward for the translation of last night, and I will forward your WeChat."

With that said, Mu Qinglin took out his mobile phone to transfer the money to Zhou Yi, then closed the door of the study and left.

Zhou Yi followed behind, delaying to check WeChat.

The lights in the corridor were not turned on, and the outside light could not come in, so it was a bit dark.

Zhou Yi got used to it for a second, and saw the number of the transfer: 2000.

"This is too much." Zhou Yi followed Mu Qinglin and said.

Mu Qing smiled at her, "Where does anyone think there is too much money? Take it quickly."

Zhou Yiyu felt uneasy, just flipping through an EI meeting, which is not worth so much money at all.

Mu Qinglin said: "If you think it's too much, you can ask Teacher Mu to refund it yourself. I just ask for money, and I don't say how much. He gave the two thousand yuan on his own initiative."

How dare Zhou Yi...

Zhou Yi accepted the money hesitantly, then found Mu Zhenghuai's WeChat, and said to him: 【Mr. Mu, thank you. 】

Mu Zhenghuai returned quickly: [Students compared the original text, and you have revised the descriptions in a few places very well, so I didn't teach you in vain. 】

Zhou Yi walked into the living room, and the afterglow of the twilight shone on her body.

On the day at school, Mu Zhenghuai walked away so resolutely because of her retreat, she thought he would regret teaching her, but she didn't expect him to teach her in vain.

His words are definitely worth a thousand words.

As if Zhou Yi had been acquitted, his shoulders suddenly lightened.

Although she knew it was only a small part, she still wanted to cherish this rare second of relaxation.

"Sister, I invite you tonight." Zhou Yi said.

Faced with the accident, Mu Qing's eyes quickly softened, "Then I have to seriously think about what to eat later."

Zhou Yi said generously, "You can eat anything."

Mu Qinglin looked at her, and almost couldn't resist raising his hand to touch her eyes that finally had some vitality and light.

"Wait for a while." Mu Qinglin said suddenly.

Zhou Yi nodded and saw Mu Qinglin hastily entered the bedroom with the computer.

She really wanted to follow in to see what Mu Qinglin would do there, who hadn't been here for more than four years, but in the end she just shut herself out of the gate, so as to hold back her eagerness to move.

In the bedroom, Mu Qinglin put the computer on the dresser, opened the drawer, and took out the earrings that Zhou Yi personally gave her that summer five years ago.

On the day she left here, Mu Zhenghuai was in such a rush that she forgot to take it.

Later, I never dared to come here alone. It is rare to have someone to accompany me today, so I should take it back.

But she can't wear it for the time being, and she wants to surprise her with it when the person who sent her is willing to spend time on dressing her up again.

Mu Qinglin came out of the house and called Zhou Yi who was leaning against the wall to go downstairs.

Zhou Yi glanced at the pockets of her trousers, which were not flat before, thinking that she must have gone to get something, but she didn't know what it was.

The emotion of wanting to ask but not being able to ask lingered in Zhou Yi's heart for a long time.

When she came down to the garage and saw Mu Qinglin's car, she suddenly remembered what her aunt said, and couldn't hide her thoughts.

"Sister, Auntie said you had an accident with your car before? What kind of accident?" Zhou Yi spoke quickly.

On the contrary, Mu Qinglin remained calm. She put Zhou Yi's computer in the back row, and said casually, "I uncovered the secrets of a delivery financial management MLM organization. I was retaliated against on the way home and collided with the opposite car. Fortunately, the speed of the car It's not fast, it's nothing."

Nothing can cause internal bleeding?

Can a person with such a good temper like Mu Zhenghuai be so scared that he would rather quarrel than take her home?

wrong!

Zhou Yi's steps to get into the car were nailed in place.

Take revenge, Du Wenfei, it's better not you!

"Sister, can we change the meal to tomorrow?" Zhou Yi asked standing by the car.

Mu Qinglin, who was about to enter sideways, stopped, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Yi, "Hmm..."

"I see you off…"

"No, it's not on the way, I'll go out and take a taxi."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, without waiting for Mu Qinglin's reaction, he directly closed the car door and almost ran into the elevator room.

Mu Qinglin looked at her motionless, his eyes gradually became darker.
