Take It Easy

she dreams.

Zhou Yi's whole body hurts, even her bones and bones. Her language ability seemed to be completely exhausted the second she heard Mu Qinglin's voice. No matter how hard she racked her brain, she couldn't think of a single word to refute.

Mu Qinglin didn't seem to need it that much either, she calmly lowered her head and looked down at Zhou Yi, the hand on her wrist stroking her muscles and bones.

Zhou Yi didn't notice it, she stared blankly at the mottled wall above her head and was silent. After an unknown amount of time, she still had only one sentence, "Mu Qinglin, I'm sorry."

Mu Qinglin's thumb had just touched the skin on Zhou Yi's wrist that was covered by the bracelet, and she stopped when she heard that, "Now you don't even want to call out, Sister Sheng?"

Zhou Yi's eyes were pierced by the hurt expression that flashed across her face. But she didn't avoid it, she just stared at her numbly, until her face disappeared from her eyes.

Mu Qinglin got up and stood beside the bed for a while, then took out Zhou Yi's mobile phone from his pocket, and put it on the bed.

When she raised her hand, her fingertips swept lightly over the gourd that fell below, and then turned away without hesitation.

The subtle sound of the door lock closing shocked Zhou Yi's heart, and his eyes fluttered.

She didn't dare to move, fearing that her eagerness would reveal something to Mu Qinglin.

Within two or three seconds, there was no more movement at the door, and Zhou Yi raised his numb arm with difficulty, covering his sore eyes.

Soon, suppressed crying came out from the crack of the door, disturbing the silence in the corridor.

Mu Qinglin leaned against the wall by the door, frowning, and pursed her lips into a straight line.

—

Downstairs, Mu Qinglin opened the car door and came up.

Fu Xiao, who had just squinted in the driver's seat for a few minutes, woke up immediately.

After helping Mu Qinglin answer the phone call in the afternoon, Fu Xiao was really worried about her state, so he followed her out to be her driver and accompanied her to find someone. After knowing Zhou Yi's residence, he dared to let her go up and wait alone. Stay in the car and write.

"Really back?" Fu Xiao asked.

Mu Qinglin closed his eyes and leaned against the seat, and let out a dull "hmm" from deep in his throat.

Fu Xiao was surprised, "Then why did you come down alone? Where is Zhou Yiren?"

"She's on top." Mu Qinglin gritted her teeth, opened her eyes and said, "She said she doesn't like me anymore."

"How could this happen?!" Fu Xiao couldn't believe it.

Mu Qinglin gave a short laugh, and said with exhaustion all over his body: "I want to know more than you. Before, I always thought that I had a tough attitude and insisted on going to the southwest, and she would only run away if she was scared.

There are not many important people around her, and missing one would be a stab in her heart, and she was afraid of it for granted. But I have apologized countless times on WeChat, and I told her personally just now, her reaction..."

Mu Qinglin leaned forward, holding the hair on her forehead with her hand resting on her lap, "Her reaction should be shock, as if it was incredible. Xiao, this reaction is wrong. If she is only angry because of this, Shouldn't you be happy to hear my compromise?

Taking a step back, even if people's hearts will change, and she doesn't care about me that much now, shouldn't she act indifferent when she hears me say that? Why is she so shocked? "

Fu Xiao was at a loss for words, she had only a handful of contacts with Zhou Yi, the reason why even Mu Qinglin couldn't figure it out, how could she know.

After being silent for a while, Fu Xiao patted Mu Qinglin's stiff shoulder, and said in relief, "You can find the reason slowly. Now that you know she is fine, you can let go of the biggest stone in your heart."

Mu Qinglin lowered his hands, resting his wrists on his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Yes, at least he's fine."

Five years ago, on the third week of Zhou Yi's disappearance, Fu Hui called suddenly and called Mu Qinglin to the police station, asking her if she knew a local number whose name was not real, and said that the number was on the morning of the day Zhou Yi disappeared and on the third day. I called her a few days ago, and the call time was not short.

After Mu Qinglin entered that number into his mobile phone, it didn't connect to anyone.

She doesn't know.

Later, Mu Qinglin couldn't fully recall what Fu Hui said, but he probably cited some real cases of young girls who encountered online fraud and finally suffered misfortune, so she had to prepare for the worst.

She said that Zhou Yi was very smart and not short of money, so it was impossible for him to fall into this kind of trick.

But as time went on, it got longer and longer, and when Fu Hui said, "Sister, a natural person can be declared missing after two years", she finally panicked.

That day, she made countless phone calls to Zhou Yi, but she was still unable to get through.

Some thoughts took the opportunity to rage in her mind.

She still dare not think about how she survived that period of time, but Zhou Yi dared to yell "I don't like" three words at her in front of her.

"Heh..." Mu Qinglin sat up with a low laugh, his eyes were dark and silent, "He said he didn't like me with something I gave him. Xiao Jiu, what do you think of me?"

Fu Xiao didn't know the meaning of Mu Qinglin's words, so she didn't ask any more questions, and when she had almost calmed down, she looked at the time and said, "I'll be back at twelve o'clock, or do you want to go up again?"

"Go back, I can't go up anymore." Mu Qinglin looked at the densely packed buildings not far away, and said in a low voice, "I'm not rational now, every time she says "no", she stabs my lung tube with a knife, I'm so angry, I can do anything. I just started talking nonsense. "

Fu Xiao frowned, "What did you say?"

"Say, 'You are my girlfriend, what's wrong if I give you a hug'. "It's fun to say this in a joking tone, and it tastes completely different when you say it in a self-righteous tone when you are angry, "No matter what the relationship is, as long as you say such things when the other party is unwilling, it is disgusting. I really **** her off. "

Fu Xiao can understand Mu Qinglin's mood, no one's five years is more than a number that can be finished with lips touching lips.

True love will be easily stabbed.

When it hurts, the mind will be out of control.

It doesn't matter if you don't go up, if you say something, or...do something, Mu Qinglin will regret it later.

"Then I'll take you home now?" Fu Xiao asked.

Mu Qinglin turned his head back, looked at Fu Xiao and said, "Xiao, thank you for today."

Fu Xiao smiled and said, "Why are you being polite to me?"

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do next?" Fu Xiao asked casually as he was heating up the car.

Mu Qinglin opened her mouth and let out a long breath, "I don't know. You should have heard what the owner of the noodle stall and the owner of the hotel said when I was looking for her in the afternoon. From a little girl who is afraid of being tired and afraid of heat, she spends money without blinking an eye." From catching thieves with bare hands, living in a room without air-conditioning, and being reluctant to add eggs worth two yuan, the current state of Zhou Yi can be said to be completely unfamiliar to me, and I need to get to know her first to know what to do next."

"Do you have this patience?" Fu Xiao was worried.

"I'm not sure, let's take a step at a time. Her house is rented for a month, and she should have something to do, so she won't be able to leave for a while."

After Mu Qinglin finished speaking, he gave a low laugh and said, "In my life, I have used such an ambiguous term as 'take one step and see one step at a time'. "

Fu Xiao, "Emotions are something that grinds people's hearts."

Through the half-open window, the sound of the engine gradually became low and gentle.

Fu Xiao shifted gears and refueled, and the car slid out slowly.

Passing the intersection, Fu Xiao looked at the spacious and empty road ahead, and asked hesitantly: "If, I mean if, Zhou Yi really doesn't plan to like you anymore, what should you do?"

Mu Qinglin's eyes reflected on the glass moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said: "She is dreaming..."

—

In the dimly lit room, Zhou Yi kept the posture Mu Qing had left without moving for a long time, until the wind gushing in from the window began to feel a little cool, then she removed the arms covering her eyes and wanted to sit up.

With a movement of the body, the wound on the abdomen was pulled, causing Zhou Yi to fall back in pain.

She frowned, thinking sullenly, a small knife wound, every time it gets better, there will be moths.

Thinking of something suddenly, Zhou Yi didn't care about the pain, sat up in a panic and turned on the light, pressed the black short sleeve with trembling hands, and then moved away.

no blood...

fine…

Mu Qinglin probably wouldn't have noticed when she hugged her.

Zhou Yi felt relieved.

Thinking of the anger in Mu Qinglin's eyes that couldn't be concealed even by the thick night, Zhou Yi's unconscious heart began to ache again.

She deserves it.

Even if Mu Qinglin beat her to death today, she wouldn't complain at all, but... what about the next month?

It must be Mu Zipei who said that Mu Qinglin would come to her, followed by Mu Zhenghuai, Tang Yuanzhou, and Yang Ling. Soon, everyone will know about her return.

She didn't want to mobilize people like this, she just wanted to help the team find some money, and she was afraid that one day she would die suddenly and not see Mu Qinglin, she would not be reconciled, so she wanted to come back and take a look at her from afar...

After dawn, would she still dare to stay here?

Zhou Yi didn't know, her mind was blank now.

Zhou Yi checked the room irritably, and after making sure that the camera had been removed, she took off her short sleeves, took out the roll of medical gauze that Han Qiu had packed for her from her bag, tore off a section and folded it up for later use, then lowered her head To dismantle the old one.

After the impact in the afternoon, her wound opened again, and the blood seeped out and soaked the gauze. But she didn't dare to come back at that time, fearing that Mu Zipei was still there, and the blood would have dried up after a few hours of dawdling, otherwise Mu Qinglin's hug would have stained her clothes.

The pure white shirt and light blue trousers she is wearing today are very beautiful.

Zhou Yi tore off the tape that glued the gauze, and looked inside. The blood scab had glued the wound to the gauze, but she didn't have hydrogen peroxide on her hand, so she couldn't soak it.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and tore it down bit by bit.

After the wound was treated, Zhou Yi's whole body was covered in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.

She went to the bathroom and rinsed with cold water to feel a little better.

As soon as a person relaxes, the body begins to give back the most real response—hunger.

The meal on the plane was only enough to fit between the teeth. After getting off, Zhou Yi didn't drink a drop of water. Coupled with all kinds of tossing, I was already a little tired.

Zhou Yi subconsciously fumbled in her pocket, trying to find her phone to check the time.

The second he didn't touch anything, Zhou Yi stopped breathing.

The mobile phone seemed to be thrown out by her and hit the thief.

Mu Zipei was there at the time, as long as someone picks up her mobile phone, Mu Zipei will definitely recognize the gourd hanging below, then she...

Zhou Yi's flustered eyes froze when he passed by the bed.

The mobile phone was on her bed, and the gourd was neatly arranged.

It is self-evident who let it go.

But she didn't give any hint when she did something she didn't like and insisted on saying she didn't like it.

Why?

She retreated again and again, but she didn't respond, so she was completely disappointed and didn't bother to mention it?

That's fine, she just couldn't imagine the scene of them seeing each other again.

…

Zhou Yi picked up her mobile phone and went out, and found a 24-hour convenience store, where the cashier was dozing off behind the counter.

Zhou Yi walked around the shelf again and again, she felt that she was looking at it seriously, but nothing came into her mind.

Turning around to the cashier, his eyes became vigilant, and Zhou Yi suddenly came back to his senses, and picked up a bucket of instant noodles and came to pay the bill.

"Five yuan, I'll sweep you." The cashier said with a smile.

Zhou Yi let out a "hmm" and took out his phone to click on the WeChat QR code.

The screen was broken badly, and it was difficult for Zhou Yi to respond even if he clicked hard.

This powerlessness is familiar.

Zhou Yi's empty mind was quickly filled with messy memories, colliding and buzzing.

Zhou Yi tried hard to hold his breath to calm himself down.

When the screen lost control and jumped into the chat box with Han Qiu, Zhou Yi instinctively swipe left with his thumb, wanting to exit.

This movement went against the direction of the shattered screen, and it pierced Zhou Yi's nails like a broken glass needle, causing her to be unable to react for two seconds due to the pain.

Seeing the blood flowing out from the cut and filling the entire gap between the nails, Zhou Yi finally couldn't hold back, and squatted down with the help of the cash register.

If there were no accidents on patrol, she should still live for many years.

But she hasn't seen Mu Qinglin for so many years, how can she live?

I still want to see you again.

I want to see you many, many times.

The cashier was a student from a nearby school, young, startled by Zhou Yi's sudden movement, he leaned forward and said, "It's all right, the instant noodles don't cost much, you can eat them, I'll pay for you. "

The girl was about to open her WeChat and scan the QR code, but Zhou Yi had already stood up, "Thank you, no need, mine will be ready soon."

The talking Zhou Yi lowered her head, but the girl could still see her universal eyes for a moment.

"Miss, are you okay?" the girl asked worriedly.

Zhou Yi, "Very good. Try to see if you can scan it."

Zhou Yi handed over the QR code.

The girl tried several times without success.

"I really don't need to scan it, it's only five yuan." The girl said kindly.

Zhou Yi stood there for a while, and said, "Is it convenient for Fang to add your WeChat? You pay for me, and I will transfer the money to you."

Seeing that Zhou Yi insisted, the girl had no choice but to add friends with her.

After transferring the account, Zhou Yi asked again: "Can I exchange some cash with you?"

The girl was taken aback, as if she understood Zhou Yi's meaning - it would be inconvenient to do anything without a payment code, she needed money that could be spent.

"Wait a minute, let me see how much I have on me." The girl took out her wallet from below and looked through it, "Two hundred, is it enough?"

Zhou Yi, "That's enough, thank you."

The girl handed the cash to Zhou Yi, and pointed her to where to get the hot water, and watched her leave before remembering to check her phone.

210…

Zhou Yi transferred the amount to her, and there is a message below: [Sorry, I don’t have any money right now, if I can save some extra in the future, I will thank you again...]

The girl is a child of a poor family. She has done many illegal jobs since she was a child, and she has received countless cold looks during the period. This is the first time she has met someone who respects her like Zhou Yi and is willing to remember her kindness. It was warm in my heart, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I thought of the process of her going from dazed to collapsing after she came in, and finally regaining her calm.

After thinking about it, the girl clicked to accept the payment, returned the extra ten yuan to Zhou Yi, and said: [Miss, come on! Persevere a little longer, and all the big things will pass! 】

Zhou Yi didn't see this message.

She was sitting on the curb opposite Jiangping University, lost in thought.

If she hadn't left back then, she must have been admitted to graduate school now, and she would study for a doctorate in the future. If she was lucky, she would go to the postdoctoral mobile station to stay for a few years, and she would be able to come back to teach after writing enough resumes. .

This is what she promised her sister.

Now there is nothing left.

She can study in university for up to six years, and even if she comes back now, she has no chance to continue her studies.

She had worked so hard to get into high school and college, but in the end she became the worst one in her circle of friends.

If he knew it earlier, he should have believed in his fate, so why go all the way with her.

…

Zhou Yi watched the red and blue interlaced lights on the security patrol car pass by the door, and quickly disappeared into the night.

She lowered her head and blinked her eyes, picked up the soaked instant noodles at hand, and stuffed them into her mouth, but her throat was so blocked that she couldn't swallow a mouthful.

Zhou Yi raised his head, forcing himself to swallow.

She still has to run the foundation tomorrow, which requires physical strength.

But it was really too hot, from the lips all the way to the stomach, the pain was so painful that the tears couldn't stop falling down.
