Take It Easy

Do you know their stories?

Zhou Yi froze there, her heart was beating fast, but her mind was blank.

"Yanyan—"

Mu Qinglin let go of Zhou Yi, bent her legs and leaned beside her.

"Ok…"

Zhou Yi suddenly didn't know what to say.

Not long ago, Mu Qinglin turned around and gave her a clear answer to the question she was struggling with.

She didn't feel a trace of happiness, but felt heavy in her heart.

She still had a deep memory of the hug that was so tight that her whole body ached.

Mu Qinglin couldn't bear her to go back, but she did it anyway.

Zhou Yi frowned for a moment and then let go. After a long silence, he said, "Yanyan, why did you say this all of a sudden?"

Mu Qinglin shook his head with a smile, "Not suddenly. Before you came back, I asked you twice whether you like the job of a wildlife ranger. You failed to answer the first time. The second time, you said that you might like it a little bit, but you like me more, so you will still come back with me..."

"Yanyan..."

"Listen to me."

Mu Qinglin touched the blush on Zhou Yi's cheeks from the alcohol, and continued: "Later, I went to ask Fu Xiao, and she said that you promised to come back with me, so it doesn't matter if you like it or not; On the day that Han Qiu ended the life of that black rhino with his own hands, Lao Wan and the others understood the significance of that documentary to me, and I also learned to understand her choice from my mother's perspective.

That day I asked my mother, if you like this profession as much as she does, should I remind you to make you think clearly before making a choice, but you are too obedient, you will come back after you say it, if you can’t adapt to life here, you have to find a way to adapt . Xiaojiu..." Mu Qinglin couldn't help kissing Zhou Yi, "You are too capable, and you can adapt right away if you say you want to adapt, so much so that I forgot to ask you if this is the life you want. "

"Yes!" Zhou Yi spoke quickly, "I have never been so happy as I have been in the past six months! Every day I open my eyes and I am you, and I am still you when I close my eyes. There is no pressure, no worries, and no worries.

This is the simple life I promised you before. After graduation, you can go to the Sixth Institute as a researcher, or stay in school as a teacher. Why don’t I want it? ! "

"Okay, I see, what are you doing so fiercely?" Mu Qinglin raised his hand, and his index finger flattened Zhou Yi's frowning eyebrows bit by bit, "But I still want to ask you, I really don't want to go back to the grassland, continue To do something you might like a little bit?"

"..." Zhou Yi hesitated, she thought about it, just thought about it for a while, whenever she wanted to cut through the surface to make some decision, she would stop immediately, so there was no conclusion so far.

Mu Qinglin could imagine Zhou Yi's state of mind at that time, and knew that the root cause of her inability to think deeply was her own, but she had already told Zhou Yi, "Xiao Jiu, you are the girl I like, eight years ago You chased after getting rich to my feet and appeared in front of me, which gave me a chance to like someone who was bound by the past. I hope my love is stress-free and truly makes you feel happy."

Speaking of which, she should do it.

"Xiao Jiu, if you don't know about your parents, the efforts you have made to reintegrate into this city and to be able to walk around my eyes will only move and make me happy. Then I will love you even more, but we know, It's clear." Mu Qinglin said, word by word, "You have always been a good girl, the pride and love left by your parents are enough for you to benefit from, and will also be remembered by you all your life. Come on, if you don't do something for them, can you feel at ease?"

Zhou Yi was dumbfounded.

She is unsteady.

I didn't realize it at first, I just drew some pictures.

The more discussions about parents and Shang Ning on the Internet, the clearer it becomes.

As soon as someone said it tonight, he was enlightened, and he uncontrollably started to think about it.

Mu Qinglin caught Zhou Yi's wavering and felt a stab in his heart.

She is still stingy, and she is not willing to let her go so far away.

Fortunately, she could bear it.

Mu Qinglin smiled lightly, and said, "You are also a smart and capable girl, capable of doing things that ordinary people can't do. You shouldn't be mediocre in the first place."

Mu Qinglin's understanding and generosity made her heart surge, her throat swelled, "Yanyan—"

Mu Qinglin tilted his head and kissed Zhou Yi's throat lightly, and the depths of his pupils suddenly lit up with light, "Sometimes you are a cool girl, the wider the place, the more you can spread your wings and fly high. The one you let I am amazed, and I admire it even more.”

This light enveloped Zhou Yi, she looked at Mu Qinglin for a long time, her voice was more stubborn and aggrieved, "But I am also the girl who brought you out, and I like you more at any time."

"Xiao Jiu..." Mu Qinglin's chest rose and fell, and the eyes that had been laughing all night quickly became watery. She raised her head and smiled helplessly, "I don't live up to it, I want to cry now."

Zhou Yi was afraid that Mu Qing would cry.

As soon as she cried, her wandering heart immediately had a direction.

Zhou Yi hugged Mu Qinglin's neck tightly, pressed her side face tightly against her, and said firmly: "Auntie and I are different from my parents. They will do that because they have been doing that since the beginning. The goal was clear. And I, just being in that environment at the time, just did that.

I like wild protection, five years is not five days, I always miss it, and I want to do something for my aunt and my parents who protect us so well. But when I think of you, all my thoughts still go to you. "

"Xiao Jiu..."

"Yanyan, I have liked many things, studying, painting, tattooing, wildlife conservation, coffee and you, none of which I really chose on my own initiative, some for my parents, some for my friends, except you.

You are the one I chased after with a shameless face, the one I would rather be struck by lightning than insist on liking you. If you really can't have the best of both worlds, then I will choose you, from now on, without hesitation. "

Zhou Yi's loud words hit Mu Qing Lin's heart, causing the tears that had accumulated in her eyes to roll down quickly.

More than half a year ago, when she saw the thirteen paintings that Zhou Yi kept on her tablet, she knew that Zhou Yi had not let go of the patrol team and the grassland, but this girl was so powerful that it took only more than two hundred days to draw I have become an expert when it comes to coffee, manage "this city" well, and arrange the relationship with her properly.

Cooking two meals for her every morning and evening, and sending various holiday gifts;

Ask her to watch a movie from time to time, or make her a cup of coffee with your own hands;

No matter how long you kiss, you will never get tired of kissing, and you are always passionate about being an AI.

Occasionally, I also know to have a little fun.

For example, secretly using her hair tie, secretly wearing her jewelry, she was on a business trip, secretly put on her pajamas, and slept on her pillow.

It's not that she has an exquisite heart and knows how to please her, it's purely a deep instinct of love.

She looks stupid like this, but she can be easily coaxed to get carried away, and she can't think of asking her if she is satisfied with her current life.

Until today when she saw the unanswered comment, she finally made up her mind to force herself to speak first.

God knows how complicated her mental journey was from afternoon to night.

She really fell in love with this girl.

She even said in her own words that she owed her even a second of separation, so how could she be willing to lose thousands of miles when she left?

But to do what she says, she can't trap her in the name of love.

So, she spoke.

She thought she would be sad for a while if she opened her mouth.

I didn't expect this girl to be so determined.

No, she should have thought about it.

This girl has always been like this—it seems that she has no life plan, but she has a clear purpose in every step she takes, and she does her best.

For her parents, for her friends, for her lover... There is no single step that is purely for herself...

Is such a life complete?

Mu Qinglin suddenly recovered, and heard Zhou Yi say: "Yanyan, let me stay."

Mu Qinglin remained silent, looking at Zhou Yi deeply.

For a long time, it seemed like a decision was made.

Mu Qinglin couldn't wait to cup Zhou Yi's face and kiss her lips.

Zhou Yi responded enthusiastically.

There is no structure, and desire is the most primitive emotion in the human body. The more straightforward the entanglement and sucking between the lips, the easier it is to arouse it.

The two came to bed kissing.

…

Both of them went a little crazy tonight.

In the end, the light in her eyes was scattered, and she still couldn't stop the continuous burst of love in her body.

it has been deleted.

In the dead of night, Mu Qinglin leaned down and hugged Zhou Yi, and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Jiu, it's my honor to be chosen by you, thank you."

The end of Zhou Yi's wet eyes was red, and after thinking for a while in the cloud of thoughts, he said, "It should be, you're welcome."

Mu Qinglin laughed happily, "Stupid again..."

Zhou Yi thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out how stupid he was, so he didn't make a sound, watching Mu Qinglin lay down beside him, flicking the wet hair on the side of her face, "Xiao Jiu, you can put 100% love and Time is given to me, but I can't accept it without distractions."

Zhou Yi was puzzled, "Why?"

"Because you said I'm like your sky." Mu Qinglin leaned close with his folded arms, "The sky is right there, no one needs to go around it all the time, on the contrary, you who live under the sky should It is always free and open. So Xiao Jiu, don't worry, don't want me to cry, you don't care and run to me, don't want anything else. "

"I don't…"

"Without you who were still hesitating one second, would you choose me unswervingly the next?"

"Yanyan..." Zhou Yi hugged Mu Qinglin's neck, said in a hoarse voice with a strong nasal voice, "Why can't you pretend to be stupid and be selfish for once?"

Mu Qinglin still said those words, "I met you too late, I have passed the age of selfishness."

There was a thin layer of moisture in Zhou Yi's eyes, "The more you are like this, the more I can't just let myself go."

Her attitude made Mu Qinglin satisfied, but also distressed.

The girl spent her first 26 years working hard for those around her, successfully pleasing them, and forgetting about herself.

If she can draw a stroke of luck for the dead with her own hands, how heart-warming and steadfast will her days be in the future?

There is a fork in front of her, and it is like spring all the year round.

Then she has to fight for her no matter what.

After a moment of silence, Mu Qinglin said, "Xiao Jiu, let's make an agreement."

Zhou Yi looked up, "What agreement?"

Mu Qinglin said: "For two years, put aside me, my mother, your parents, and all the people who made you work hard to get close, and just rely on your instinct to make a choice."

This will be the first time in Zhou Yi's life that he has made a choice for himself, fair and pure, without adulteration.

"The girl I like is a brave girl, she never clings to anyone's vines. So, I hope she has a choice in her life to make only for herself." Mu Qinglin's clear words shook Zhou Yi's eardrums.

for myself…

Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi forgot to tell her such an important sentence.

So…

"I took the initiative to choose you, isn't that the choice I made for myself?"

"Forget it, but love is never the whole of life. Xiaojiu, what is rich and colorful is life."

Zhou Yi was stunned for a long time, then nodded heavily, his eyes were red, "Okay!"

Mu Qinglin finally smiled, "The filming plan for the Wildlife Documentary is two years. During these two years, you can go back with me to watch it and think about it. I believe that if you have a stable relationship and a mature mind, you must Be sensible, and the decision you make must be well thought out. At that time, whether you decide to only have me, or want to do something extra while you want me, I will support you unconditionally."

Zhou Yi still had the same word, "Okay..."

She was lucky in her three lifetimes to meet such a rational lover who is good at favoritism, avoiding her troubles, teaching her to grow up, bearing her cowardice, allowing her to be willful, and now indulges her frivolously.

With her here, where does she have a bad chance?

Zhou Yi closed her eyes and kissed Mu Qinglin's lips, "Yanyan, thank you too."

Mu Qinglin's response was swallowed into her throat and buried in the sunniest part of Zhou Yi's heart.

—

On the first day of the next day, Mu Qinglin took Mu Zipei out to play unmoved.

This time, Zhou Yi sat in the co-pilot instead of waiting outside the gate, taking a hasty look at the license plate.

Mu Zipei was hungover and didn't want to go far, so they went to watch a movie, and then came out, each with a cup of ice cream.

Mu Zipei shook her shoulders and complained, "During the third year of high school, I only bought Xiao Jiu an ice cream, and I was scolded by you for half an hour. Now, hum!"

Mu Zipei glanced at Zhou Yi's hand, and said very unhappy, "Why does she have two **** and I only have half!"

Mu Qinglin folded his legs and said calmly: "Xiao Jiu used to be a sick child. If you give her ice cream in winter, I won't scold you. Who are you scolding? Now you can't break her arm with two of your hands. Who will eat more if you don’t give her more?”

"You just prefer her!" Mu Zipei shouted.

Mu Qinglin said: "If you know it, don't humiliate yourself, your face is not hot, I'm tired of talking about it first."

Heartbroken, Mu Zipei ran away and sat alone, and came back after a while, gasping for breath, and said, "Du...Du Wenfei!"

Zhou Yi and Mu Qinglin frowned at the same time, and followed Mu Zipei to look.

On the side of the road not far from the shopping mall, Du Wenfei curled up on the ground like a piece of rotten meat, emitting a stench.

The clothes on her body were so dirty that the original color could not be seen, her feet were light-fitting, her hair was cut to pieces, like a dog chewing on her, the exposed face was full of bumps, and the bridge of her nose collapsed, all of which were sequelae of previous plastic surgery.

"People around here call her a lunatic." Mu Zipei said in a low voice, "I heard that when she first came here, she would bite anyone she saw, and almost infected a child with HIV, which made her dad beat her up. My brain was broken, and I have been wandering around here since then, living by rummaging through trash cans every day. Ah, someone said that she had snatched bones from a dog, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Zhou Yi didn't say a word, but his cold eyes were fixed on Du Wenfei.

Her case was not of the same nature as that of Guo Hong and the others. Although minors were involved, but because they were already fourteen years old and both parties were voluntary, the sentence was not heavy.

For her, public opinion is the severe punishment.

Saliva hurts a person's self-esteem far more than prison, Zhou Yi is not surprised that she will end up like this today.

Not as happy as expected.

She just felt sorry for Du Wenfei.

Du Rong's family background was not as good as it was before he fell from the horse. As long as she gritted her teeth, she could rely on those resources to get ahead, but she chose a dead end.

…

"Oh my god!" Du Wenfei suddenly opened his eyes and looked over, scaring Mu Zipei to jump behind Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi didn't move, and looked at Du Wenfei calmly.

As the cold wind blew past, Du Wenfei closed his eyes and shrunk even tighter.

Mu Zipei said incredulously: "She seems to be really crazy, she didn't respond when she saw Xiao Jiu."

Mu Qinglin forcibly turned Mu Zipei's head to make her watch less excitement.

Looking at Zhou Yi, the two knew each other well - Du Wenfei was not crazy.

Why she pretended to be crazy, they didn't care at all.

The filming of the documentary was almost ready, and they were about to get busy, and they didn't have the extra thought to look back at those unworthy people and things.

"Sister, Xiao Jiu, hurry up! I'm freezing to death!" Mu Zipei shouted from a distance.

Mu Qinglin turned her head and looked at Zhou Yi with a smile. Without saying a word, she put her hand in her palm with satisfaction, interlocked her fingers, and walked for a while without haste.

—

The documentary aired in midsummer two and a half years later.

Once it was aired, it received rave reviews, and two of the hidden easter eggs earned enough tears from the audience.

One is that Mu Qinglin edited some shots taken by Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi in the southwest into the feature film;

One is the flashing back of Shang Ning.

They are not only the photographers of the documentary, but also the participants.

Their names are written in the end credits.

So far, Mu Qinglin has finally fulfilled his wish—let them be known, and at the same time fulfilled the promise he made to Zhou Yi on the eve of going to the newspaper office—

Xiaojiu, no matter whether you can see what you want to see when you go to the newspaper office tomorrow, your life will be as complete as mine.

This consummation is called a hero's return.

She justified the names of Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi, and saved their last efforts in vain.

—

It's the summer solstice again.

"This city" has recruited a newcomer, a little gossip but good-natured little girl named Cai Miao.

Cai Miao stared at Mu Qinglin, who would sit at a fixed place to drink coffee almost every weekend, but never paid for it, for a long time. After all, he couldn't hold back. He ran behind the operating desk and asked his colleagues, "Who is she?"

The colleague said: "The reporter from the provincial TV station next door."

"Oh, is she married?"

"over…"

"Liar, she doesn't even have a wedding ring on her hand."

"People can't keep a low profile."

"Be so low-key that you don't accompany your husband on the big weekend, and sit here drinking coffee alone? Who are you coaxing?" Cai Miao was a little annoyed.

The colleague put down the work in his hand, touched her for a moment, and asked her, "Haven't you met our boss since you joined the job?"

Cai Miao was taken aback, and his eyes suddenly sparkled, "I heard that our boss is not only the boss, but also the head of some mysterious organization, always elusive."

The colleague said "um" solemnly, with a very low voice, "the boss's action has a code name, do you want to know what it is called?"

Cai Miao nodded, "Yeah, yeah, I think so, tell me!"

Colleague, "Call—Pull the vegetable seedlings!"

The colleague suddenly grabbed Cai Miao's shoulder, causing her to scream out of fright, attracting Mu Qinglin's attention.

When Cai Miao saw her smile, Bai Jing's face instantly turned red.

The colleague noticed the clue, bumped her elbow and said, "Do you like her?"

Cai Miao hesitated for a long time, then whispered, "Ah..."

After saying that, Cai Miao saw that the translucent glass door was pushed open, and a young woman pushing a suitcase in a hurry went straight to her sweetheart, and leaned over to kiss her on the lips.

Cai Miao was stunned, "Her, them!"

The colleague raised his hand, gestured to Zhou Yi who was walking past, and said, "Hi boss, long time no see."

Zhou Yi gave a faint "hmm" and turned to Cai Miao, "Are you new here?"

Cai Miao has already left his body.

Li Cuo hurriedly came over and patted her on the head, and said to Zhou Yi, "This is the Cai Miao I told you about. She is quick at work, but a little silly."

Zhou Yi nodded imperceptibly, then turned around, rolled up the cuffs of his shirt, and walked behind the console.

Soon, she returned to the window with a cup of fragrant coffee and placed it next to Mu Qinglin.

The two raised their eyes and looked at each other, overwhelming the crowd.

At that second, Cai Miao heard the voice of heartbreak, she clutched her chest in grief and said, "Why didn't anyone tell me that my sweetheart is the boss' wife!"

Li Cuo solemnly reminded, "Boss and Teacher Mu came together through untold hardships, so don't make trouble."

"Oh..." Cai Miao shrank her head in fright, and grabbed the wall to look at the two people by the window.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu their bosses are too good-natured, they give up their hands when they give up their hands, and do so when they want to pinch their faces. , being annoyed by Teacher Mu, she still has a little childishness.

what!

This is exactly what love looks like at its best!

When she went outside, she wore armor and was invincible. Once she came back, there was only tenderness in front of her, and the years were quiet.

What could such a beautiful couple have to do with "hard work"?

Cai Miao was suddenly curious, and quickly caught up with Li Cuo, asking her, "Do you know their stories?"
