Take It Easy

She is my girlfriend and can indeed accompany me for the rest of my life.

Zhou Yi looked at the word "Yanyan" floating on the phone screen, tried to suppress all the feelings in his heart, connected the phone, and called her briskly, "Sister!"

Mu Qinglin's voice was a little anxious, "Where's the person?"

"Outside..."

"I'm going to take the exam soon, but I'm still wandering around, come back quickly!"

Mu Qinglin was already a little angry, but it wasn't the way of being really angry, or anxious, Zhou Yi could tell that she really wanted to slap her with the same words as before, but when she closed her eyes, her mind Repeatedly, it was her powerless and painful eyes in the heavy rain.

Zhou Yi covered his eyes with his hand, then raised his bangs to the back, resisted the rush of emotion and said, "I'm buying breakfast right now, what do you want? Is it still sweet?"

Mu Qinglin didn't answer at all, "I'll give you ten minutes, and if I don't see anyone, I'll change the gate password."

"Oh, let's change it. I have recorded six fingerprints on both hands."

"deleted…"

"sister-"

Mu Qinglin had already thrown the phone on the bed, and Zhou Yi could hear her walking.

Soon, as usual, she will help her draw the curtains and open the window to let the sun shine on the bed.

Although Zhou Yi can't see it now, she can clearly recall the scene of lying on the bed and watching the past—

In the vast blue morning, Mu Qinglin was leaning against the window with her hands in her pockets, the clear morning light wrapped her body with a layer of soft gold rims, she sighed and scolded her for being too lazy, she needed to be screamed every day.

The more you scold her, the more you feel sorry for her. It's not about rebellious psychology, it's just that Mu Qinglin's feeling of being bumped into his heart by a sunny smile is so comfortable, peaceful and stable, plain and real, full of life. However, who would have thought that such a cruel thing was hidden behind the tranquility.

…

Zhou Yi called a special car and tortured the driver along the way.

Finally back in the community, the takeaway errand she was looking for arrived just in time.

This takeaway is considered an online celebrity shop, and it is a distance from Mu Qinglin's home. Zhou Yi and the errands arrived at the same time, which could wipe out the time difference that took her more than 20 minutes to get home.

Zhou Yi shrewdly put the schoolbag that might reveal her true whereabouts in the locker downstairs, and then sneaked in through the crack of the door, wanting to see what was going on at home.

As soon as he looked up, he was caught by Mu Qinglin who was leaning on the table and swiping his phone.

"Go out..." Mu Qinglin said as he walked over, "I'll delete a fingerprint first."

Zhou Yi kicked off his shoes and ran in, hugged Mu Qinglin's waist, and blocked her back with his body, "It's only ten minutes late, there should be room for negotiation, right?"

Mu Qinglin stepped back and corrected, "16 minutes and 23 seconds."

"So long? Am I too old to walk?" Zhou Yi pretended to be surprised.

Mu Qinglin leaned against the edge of the table and said flatly, "Who are you mocking?"

Zhou Yi put the breakfast behind Mu Qinglin, propped his hands on the edge of the table, stepped on his feet, moved to Mu Qinglin's mouth and touched it, and said: "It's not you anyway, you are at most, um, this, you should always be strong. "

Seeing that Mu Qinglin was about to laugh, Zhou Yi thought it was a bad idea, and said to her, "Eat first, I'll take a bath" and quickly ran away, but Mu Qinglin grabbed his wrist, and he recognized that call One is familiar with it, "Sister, I was wrong, I did it on purpose, I will definitely dare to do it next time, so just tell me what to do."

Mu Qinglin didn't say anything, her calm eyes fixed on Zhou Yi's face for a few seconds, then let go of her and said, "Don't dawdle, you are taking the third high school entrance examination, the road conditions in the old city are bad, and there will be traffic jams late."

"No. 3 middle school?" Zhou Yi dug out his phone and glanced at the photo of the admission ticket taken before, shouting "what's my fate" and ran away.

Mu Qinglin stood there for a long time without moving. If she judged correctly, the redness in Zhou Yi's eyes that hadn't completely receded was due to crying.

—

It was almost half past seven when everything was cleared up.

Zhou Yi was checking the things to be brought into the examination room for the last time. When she saw Mu Qinglin coming in, she hurriedly said to her, "Sister, call a car for me. I didn't go to No. 3 Middle School in advance, so I don't know the exact location. "

Mu Qinglin came over and leaned against the table, "I'll see you off..."

Zhou Yi looked up, "Can you drive?"

Mu Qinglin said, "Well, Dr. Lu hasn't come these days, so he's resting well."

not coming?

It's not like Dr. Lu's style.

Suddenly thought of something, Zhou Yi tentatively asked: "Did you not let Dr. Lu come on purpose?"

Mu Qinglin stuffed two extra pens into Zhou Yi's stationery storage bag, "If you know it, pack it up quickly."

The emotions that had not been calm for a long time came back in Zhou Yi's chest.

She moved slowly to the side, wondering if she should be thankful that such a big disaster didn't take away such a loving Mu Qinglin.

Her so plain but heartwarming, slowly gathered in her heart, and finally became grand and splendid.

In this way, it is even more difficult to see her painful appearance when she was embarrassed by that past.

I'm dead, I don't want to, I don't need to go... These words are on Zhou Yi's lips, but he can't say them.

She concluded that as long as she spoke, Mu Qinglin would definitely say "Xiao Jiu, hurry up" to her as before.

The person she likes is actually also a difficult person.

"What are you looking at with your head down? Is there money on the table?" Mu Qinglin pinched the two protruding bones on the back of Zhou Yi's neck and said.

Zhou Yi was held silent by her.

Mu Qinglin's stretched brows gradually frowned.

"Xiao Jiu, do you still have any doubts about the college entrance examination?" Mu Qinglin asked.

The matter of Dai Lin was clearly laid out there, and Zhou Yi ran away early in the morning without seeing anyone, and when she came back with red eyes, she couldn't help being suspicious.

Zhou Yi shook his head and walked up to Mu Qinglin, rubbed his forehead against her neck, then raised his head and made up a reason, "I'm just a little worried that I won't get ahead of the exam, this time I'm going to take the exam with people from the whole province."

Mu Qinglin didn't believe it, Zhou Yi's tone was too chatty.

Looking down to see the bloodshot eyes that suddenly gathered in her eyes, Mu Qinglin paused for a moment, pulled out his hand from his trouser pocket, hooked her by the back of her neck, pulled her to his lips and kissed her, and said, "I can't pass the exam." If you fail the exam, why cry?"

"Ah..." Zhou Yi later realized that he couldn't hold back, buried his head on Mu Qinglin's shoulder and rubbed his eyes, and said, "This is sentimental, okay, you don't understand the artist's mind."

"What kind of artist are you, a tattooist whose tattoo skills are denied by the boss himself?" Mu Qinglin snorted.

Zhou Yi took a step back angrily, pointed at her nose and snorted, "Oh oh oh, now you're starting to dislike me."

Mu Qinglin grabbed Zhou Yi's fingers, pulled her back to hold her, and said in a low voice after a while, "Can you really take the test?"

Zhou Yi said "hmm" in front of her, "You said that the time I wasted before was disappointing Dai Lin's wishes, so what else can I complain about?"

"Then you just now, forget it, you won't tell if you ask me." Mu Qinglin patted the back of Zhou Yi's head and said, "Let's go, if it's too late, the road will really be blocked."

Zhou Yi didn't hug her enough, so she reluctantly left Mu Qinglin, took her things and walked outside behind her buttocks.

The neighborhood of the No. 3 Middle School was overcrowded. Mu Qinglin followed the traffic police's instructions and drove all the way, but still couldn't find a parking space, so she had to pull over temporarily and let Zhou Yi get off first.

Just as the handbrake was pulled, someone knocked on the window glass.

The two turned their heads to look at the same time.

Tang Yuanzhou bent over and stood outside, beckoning Zhou Yi to lower the window.

Do as you please.

"Mu Qinglin, go see Xiao Jiu off, and let me stop the car." Tang Yuanzhou said quickly.

Mu Qinglin didn't refuse, just unfastened his seat belt and got off, saying hello to Yang Ling who hadn't seen him just now.

Tang Yuanzhou taught Zhou Yi a few words concisely, and finally said: "If you fail the exam, you can only go back to Buddha Demon and continue to work for me."

When Yang Ling heard this, she slapped Tang Yuanzhou on the back angrily, and his face turned green from the pain.

"Dogs can't spit out ivory!" Yang Ling said angrily, and turned her head to look at Zhou Yi with kind eyes, "Xiao Jiu, don't be stressed, just do your best."

Zhou Yi was really not nervous at first, but when these two people said it, his palms were sweating, "Can't you have a little confidence in me? I still want to use this exam to make a name for myself."

Mu Qinglin didn't hold back, laughed, and said, "I'm just a flat-headed boss with the last name, and I don't have a lintel to give you glory."

"Come on, go in later, you have to find the examination room first." Mu Qing took Zhou Yi's hand and walked over as if no one else was there, and the latter's heart that was so beaten by the blow suddenly came back to life.

Before entering the cordon, Zhou Yi suddenly turned around and hugged Mu Qinglin, and said to her amidst the noise of people: "Sister, I will definitely do my best this time, don't worry about me."

Mu Qinglin lowered his head and smiled and asked, "Why are you suddenly so understanding?"

Zhou Yi let her go, used a storage bag to block the glare of the sun on her forehead, and said, "People are forced to grow up overnight."

She might almost, one morning.

After watching Zhou Yi enter the school for a long time, Mu Qinglin called and asked Tang Yuanzhou where he parked.

The three stood on the side of the road and chatted for a while.

The exam officially started, Tang Yuanzhou and Yang Ling left first.

Mu Qinglin leaned against the car alone, lost in thought.

When the sun started to rise, she took out her mobile phone and made several calls, and finally reached Wang Hejing.

Wang Hejing said: "Lao Cai specifically sent me a WeChat message to tell me that the girl had been waiting for me at the post for several days and asked me to help. I didn't expect that she was going to ask about you."

"You said everything?" Mu Qinglin asked.

Wang Hejing, "I said it. She said she could be by your side for the rest of her life, so I said it."

"Xiaomu, is my decision wrong?" Wang Hejing said.

Mu Qinglin looked up at the old teaching building of No. 3 Middle School, and was silent for a moment, "No, she is my girlfriend, and she can indeed accompany me for the rest of my life."

"Sure enough, she lied to me that I was just a friend." Wang Hejing laughed on the other end of the phone, sounding relieved.

Mu Qinglin looked sideways, "Is she scared?"

Wang Hejing said: "As far as your relationship is concerned, she has to take it to heart more or less. After answering your call, she said that she ran away during the college entrance examination last time. She was afraid that you would still think about it, so she should go back to find you.

I didn't stop her, and watched her run out all the way, and was hit by someone and fell to the side of the road. The little girl squatted there and cried for a long time, and the car that was called couldn't wait to hurry, so she wiped her face, got up and walked out. "

Mu Qinglin held the phone and didn't speak.

She thought that Zhou Yi's eyes were red because of the college entrance examination, but because of Dai Lin, it turned out that she was forced by herself to suddenly become considerate.

"Xiao Mu, can you be okay?" Wang Hejing asked.

Mu Qinglin regained consciousness, retracted the bent leg a little, and said firmly: "Yes..."

—

Zhou Yi didn't like to be crowded. After the Chinese test, she sat downstairs until everyone had left, and then hurried out, took Mu Qinglin's hand and said, "Quickly ask me how I did in the test!"

Mu Qinglin took her pencil case and replied calmly, "You don't need to ask, it must be fine."

Zhou Yi glared, "Can you have a sense of ceremony?"

Mu Qinglin, "Can the sense of ritual be eaten?"

Zhou Yi's stomach groaned in disbelief.

After the meal, Mu Qinglin took Zhou Yi to a nearby express hotel.

The third middle school was far away from home, so it was inconvenient to go back and forth. Knowing that Zhou Yi was here on the day of the exam, Mu Qinglin booked a hotel for her to take a lunch break.

As soon as Zhou Yi entered, he fell asleep.

Mu Qinglin sat on the chair by the window, watching her quietly.

"Om—"

There was a continuous vibration in the phone.

Mu Qinglin quickly pressed the power button to switch to mute, looked up at Zhou Yi, made sure that she didn't wake her up, and then left the room gently to answer the call outside.

"Doctor Lu..." Mu Qinglin said.

Lu He, "I've made arrangements here, leave tomorrow afternoon?"

Mu Qinglin hesitated.

This morning, Zhou Yi was busy in the examination room. She didn't stop even after she finished talking with Wang Hejing outside. Eventually, she thought of a way that might take her that last step.

Lu He mentioned this method before - go to the patrol team that Shang Ning has dedicated his life to see, if he really understands them, he might feel relieved.

In addition, Lu He has her own hospital there. She used to be able to be hospitalized and receive systematic treatment, which is more effective than Lu He coming to see her regularly.

But that place carried too many memories of Shang Ning, every time Mu Qinglin went there, he just walked far away, not daring to touch anything.

Now, she has to force herself to go back.

It's just that Zhou Yi will definitely feel very uncomfortable knowing that she is going to leave, and now she loves her more than anyone else.

"Can you postpone it for a day?" Mu Qinglin asked.

Lu He, "What's the matter?"

"Xiao Jiu knows about me. If she doesn't want a good reason, she will probably follow her."

"Our trip is not a tourist trip."

"I know, so I want to postpone it for a day and wait until I have coaxed her well before leaving."

"Alright, the time is set, you can keep me informed."

"it is good…"

With this in mind, Mu Qinglin waited until the end of the Zhou Yi exam.

In the evening, Zhou Yi didn't want to go to have a break-up meal in class, but Mu Zipei reluctantly agreed after spending a long time with him.

In this way, it is useless for Mu Qinglin to talk to Zhou Yi about his going away for a while.

Mu Qinglin leaned outside the door and thought for a while, then said to Zhou Yi who came out after changing clothes, "Can I bring my family with me for dinner tonight?"

Zhou Yi was a little confused, "What family?"

Mu Qinglin, "I..."

"..." Mu Qinglin's appearance caused quite a commotion in the box, but with her two identities as Zhu Li's student and Mu Zipei's sister, no one thought much about it, and was finally relieved by these gangs during the period. The "Crazy" of the group toasted one by one, and she fooled them all by substituting tea for wine.

Turning her head to Zhou Yi, Mu Qinglin flicked her untouched wine glass with her index finger and said, "Disrespect me?"

Zhou Yi was quarreled for half the night, his brain was buzzing, and when he heard the words, he secretly poked Mu Qinglin's toe, and said, "No respect, I don't need to take advantage of Teacher Zhu to curry favor with you."

"That Wei Zhao who stared at you half the night without any plans, give me an explanation?"

"..." It's just the front and back tables, there's nothing to explain.

Zhou Yi glanced at the opposite side depressedly, and was so frightened by Wei Zhaohong's Guoguo eyes that he picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.

After drinking, Mu Qinglin immediately added another glass for her. The reason was, "Congratulations to Teacher Jiu for unlocking a new stage in life."

For the third cup, Mu Qinglin said, "Xiao Jiu, I poured it, are you sure you don't want to drink it?"

Zhou Yi didn't have a capacity for alcohol, and after three drinks, he basically lost his mind.

Mu Qinglin took advantage of the gang's quarrel, quietly got her out, and led her to the parking lot.

Zhou Yi was confused, she went wherever Mu Qinglin took her.

After returning home and locking the door, Mu Qinglin pulled her to sit on his lap, curled her hair with his fingers and said, "Xiao Jiu, I'm going to leave Jiangping for a few days. To get medical treatment."

Zhou Yi silently rubbed Mu Qinglin's neck to play.

Mu Qing leaned back and leaned against the sofa, leaving enough space for her.

"The place I'm going to is not suitable for a sick cat system like yours, and it will be very troublesome in case of high rebellion."

"I promise I won't talk to you in such a hurry as last time."

"How many times a day to contact, how to contact, and how long to contact is all up to you."

"At the most when you start school, I will definitely come back and give you back a healthy Mu Qinglin."

"Xiao Jiu, you are growing up for me, and I want to stand in your way in everything as before..." Mu Qinglin curled Zhou Yi's hair, let go of her fingers, helped her to the back of her neck, and brought the belt in front of her, "I didn't lie to you about what happened that night. I was really uncomfortable. Even if I hold the pen now, the finger will still shake. I will definitely not be able to stand it again."

"Hmm..." A voice suddenly came from in front of him, Mu Qinglin was stunned for a moment, and looked down.

Zhou Yi supported the sofa behind her and sat up, his eyes were still a little bit drunk, "It's up to the start of school, it's agreed. Mu Qinglin, if you don't come back after school, I'll go there to find you If you want to see if I have Tang Yuanzhou's fate, don't come back."

"I don't want to watch..." Mu Qinglin wiped the corner of Zhou Yi's straight mouth with his thumb, and asked her with a smile, "Have you been pretending to be drunk all this time?"

Zhou Yi held Mu Qinglin's finger in his palm, and leaned over to kiss her, "You don't use wine to trick me, can I pretend to be drunk?"

Mu Qinglin panted, "How did you tell?"

Zhou Yi, "You've been staring at my wine glass all night. I felt something was wrong, so I mixed mineral water into the wine dispenser while you were out to answer the phone."

"not angry?"

"There's nothing to be angry about, I know what your purpose was in the past, that's..."

Zhou Yi left Mu Qinglin, looked at the thick emotions in her eyes and said, "When I think about you leaving, my heart feels sore, it hurts."

—

Mu Qinglin was leaving this time, and Zhou Yi went to see him off.

Watching her go through the security check, counting the time and waiting for the plane to take off, then hastily wiped away her sore eyes and went to the parking lot to find Tang Yuanzhou.

Responding to Mu Qinglin's exhortation, Tang Yuanzhou pulled Zhou Yi back to the Buddha Demon.

For a period of time after that, she spent hours in the studio chasing pictures every day, working so hard that the balance of her bank card gradually increased.

Once, she saw that the official account of Muqinglin Community, which she followed, tweeted the property payment information, and handed it over by the way.

After receiving the deduction reminder from the bank, I suddenly found that the balance was a little too much.

She opened the APP and took a look. The transaction records on the card had been inaccessible for almost half a month.

Scrolling forward, it was basically all done by her shopping in the supermarket near Mu Qinglin's house.

Zhou Yi stared at those records, feeling very empty in his heart, and ran back to his room to sleep after taking a few mouthfuls of dinner.

Just after twelve noon the next day, the studio door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Hei ran over excitedly with a computer in his hand and said, "Third! Third!"

Zhou Yi asked absently, "What third?"

"Your grade!" Xiao Hei poked at the score on the screen and said, "You are third in the province!"

"Oh..." Zhou Yi's reaction was mediocre, and he was only third. It seems that the review in the last period was a bit vain, but this result should be regarded as the top one, right?

Zhou Yi glanced at the screen and asked Xiao Hei, "Do you think the third one is the best?"

Xiao Hei was so excited that he jumped up, "That's great! With your grades, you can choose your school and major at will!"

"I don't know what major to study."

"Huh? Why don't we spend some money for consultation? I guess no one in the store understands this."

Zhou Yi had no idea, but Ming Kai made a suggestion, "Spending money for consultation is purely an IQ tax, so it's better to ask Mu Qinglin, I remember that the "Ping An Jiangping" she was in would do news related to this every year , should have eyebrows."

A few seconds after Ming Kai finished speaking, Mu Qinglin called, "Aren't you going to announce the good news to me?"

Zhou Yi said in a muffled voice, "I just got third place in the exam."

Mu Qinglin, "That's fine, I don't even have a ranking."

Zhou Yi was speechless, and said in his heart that you were recommended.

"Xiao Jiu, congratulations." Mu Qinglin suddenly became serious, "I should have said this to you face to face. I'll make it up when I go back. Is it too late?"

As soon as Zhou Yi heard the word "Hui", she thought of Mu Qinglin, her heart was so sad that she couldn't stand it, she turned her chair to avoid Xiao Hei and Ming Kai, and said, "It's not the champion, there's no need."

"In ancient times, if you were to catch a son-in-law under the list, someone would **** it away if you weren't careful. It's fine if you're not the top pick, and you're a little bit safer, otherwise I'll have trouble sleeping and eating here." Mu Qinglin said with a smile.

Zhou Yi pouted, "I can't be a man's son-in-law with my gender."

"Indeed, you can only be a daughter-in-law."

"Sister—" Zhou Yi was speechless for a while, "Don't tease me, my eyes are sore when I hear you laugh now."

Mu Qinglin's voice fell silent, "Have you decided to apply for a major?"

Zhou Yi, "No, can you give me some advice?"

"Tell me what you like first."

"like you…"

"It's business."

"No, never." She was just learning before, but now she has finished learning for the first time, and she needs to think about the next step. She really has no idea.

Mu Qinglin understood, thought for a while, and said: "Teacher Mu is engaged in optical application research. Every year, many people apply for his graduate and doctoral degrees. He should be quite famous. Are you interested in learning and become his apprentice in the future?" ?”

Zhou Yi didn't understand, "Who is Teacher Mu?"

Mu Qinglin, "My dad..."

Zhou Yi was stunned suddenly. Was it too arrogant to be an apprentice to his girlfriend's father?

"Which major should I apply for?" Zhou Yi asked.

Mu Qinglin, "Optical Engineering, the third college of Jiangping University, a first-level key discipline. Teacher Mu is an external professor there. I remember that there are courses with undergraduate courses."

Zhou Yi licked his mouth, "I'll go and have a look when the application system is open."

"Do you really want to take the test?" Mu Qinglin said.

Zhou Yi, "Oh, it's the same if you don't know what to study."

"I will regret it in the future, don't say that I misunderstood my son."

"The mistake is also your family's mistake, who said you?"

Mu Qinglin couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed over there.

Zhou Yi felt uncomfortable when she heard it, bent down on the table, and asked her sullenly, "When are you coming back?"

Mu Qinglin's laughter faded, "It will take a while."

"Well, tell me in advance when you're coming back, and I'll ask the housekeeper to clean it." Zhou Yi said.

Mu Qinglin, "OK..."

The two chatted about the daily routine, and gradually faded the sadness brought about by missing.

In the end, Zhou Yi did apply for optical engineering, but it was only a voluntary choice, and he did not obey the adjustment.

On the day of receiving the notice, almost half of the people in Hongmen Lane came to announce the good news to Zhou Yi. Afterwards, there was a crowd of people, offering all kinds of gifts, and Zhou Yi was forced to be a tourist attraction for several days.

The day before the official report, Tang Yuanzhou asked Xiao Hei to clear the first floor, set up a few tables, and asked the Buddha and demons to see Zhou Yi off.

Zhou Yi was speechless, "Jiangping University is less than 20 kilometers away from here, just take the subway and go back."

Tang Yuanzhou patted the table angrily, "Is it a matter of distance? I don't know that the university dormitory has access control, so I can't go home every day."

Zhou Yi peeled a salted peanut and stuffed it into his mouth, "I don't know, it's the first time I read it."

"Let's go!" Tang Yuanzhou was annoyed, "When I see you now, I get angry!"

Zhou Yi generously poured himself half a bowl of peanuts, took it to sit outside the door.

It was extremely hot at the end of August. Fortunately, Hongmen Lane is near the river, so the wind can bring some cool air. Of course, it can also bring mosquitoes.

Zhou Yi sat for less than five minutes before her legs were covered with bites. She scratched her legs depressedly and wanted to scold the whole family of mosquitoes. She opened Baidu and found that there are thousands of species of mosquitoes, so she decisively gave up this idea.

Another peanut was put into his mouth, and the phone that was placed on Zhou Yi's lap suddenly rang.

Exclusively for Mu Qinglin.

Zhou Yi's feeble heartbeat suddenly became very fast.

When leaving, she said that she would be back from school at the latest.

It will be reported tomorrow.

Zhou Yi grabbed the phone and connected, "Sister..."

There was a shout from Mu Qinglin, "Well, what are you doing?"

Zhou Yi, "Eating peanuts, being bitten by mosquitoes, and..."

"what?"

"I wonder when you will come back."

Zhou Yi heard Mu Qinglin laugh, and the male voice passing by at the end sounded familiar, like the owner of the steamed meat shop in Dongtou.

Zhou Yi's body was faster than his consciousness, he got up quickly, stood on the steps and looked east.

Mu Qinglin was walking from a place less than ten meters away from her, and when she came to her, her voice came out of the receiver again, "I'm back..."
