Chapter 268: Tomb Sweeping
"You're right. Mu Ningyuan clenched the steering wheel, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.
Miao Miao will always be a rational and emotional person, no matter what the process is, she will only care about the ending. Maybe there were countless times in the middle of thinking, "Forget it, it's only this once in life, I'm just in love with a man, what's wrong with me? I can go to him", but in the end, she didn't act.
Those sleepless nights, those insincere entanglements, and the regrets in her heart whenever she saw the similar outlines between Miao Qiqi and Mu Ningyuan, in her opinion, were all manifestations of human vulnerability. She showed weakness to herself, telling herself that she was just a mortal and that it was normal for her to have these emotions.
But in the end, she still didn't take the initiative to contact Mu Ningyuan even once.
So she would never tell Mu Ningyuan how hard she had in the past three years.
Since he didn't mention it to Mu Ningyuan at the beginning, time has passed, and it seems that it will be useless to mention it again. What is past is what is past.
"But Miao Miao, either you, don't appear in front of me again in this life. Mu Ningyuan's voice was word by word, "Or, you have to entangle with me for the rest of your life." ”
Miao Miao exhaled softly and did not speak.
Mu Ningyuan's gaze kept falling on the front, not daring to look at Miao Miao's expression.
But she seemed to feel that Miao Miao seemed to be smiling.
Miao Miao came to the grave with Mu Ningyuan for the first time, and the mausoleum keeper was very surprised when he saw the two of them appear: "Oh, are you here together?"
Mu Ningyuan and Miao Miao are both junior high school in appearance, and it is easy to impress people, plus the two worship the same person every year, and the mausoleum keeper was once speculating about the relationship between the two.
Now seeing the two of them appear together, accompanied by a little girl, the mausoleum keeper is even more puzzled about the relationship between the two: "Are you relatives?
He would think so, also because when Miao Miao came, Rong Rui was with him most of the time, and when the mausoleum keeper saw the combination of a man, a woman and a child, his first reaction must be that they are all husband and wife.
But this time, the man who followed Miao Miao changed one!
"When did I get a husband? Why don't I know?" Miao Miao laughed.
"The ...... who was with you before," the mausoleum keeper realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something.
Mu Ningyuan frowned, and glared at the mausoleum keeper with some displeasure: "I am her daughter's father." ”
beat around the bush, but could not utter the words, "I am her husband".
The mausoleum keeper smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I thought it was ......"
A few years ago, the women and children who came together were all another man, and the man in front of them came alone, and no one would have thought that these two people were a couple!
Besides, since they are husband and wife, they have to separate to sweep the grave, what kind of strange thing is this?
Miao Miao didn't intend to explain her relationship status to an inconsequential stranger, so she just smiled and didn't answer. did not correct what Mu Ningyuan said, which was obviously misleading about the relationship between the two.
Mu Ningyuan noticed Miao Miao's acquiescence, and the little bit of peace in his heart was a little scattered.
The cemetery is a mountain, the stairs are very long, although they are smooth, but with Miao Qiqi's small arms and legs, it is still a little difficult to climb the ladder, Mu Ningyuan wanted to bend down and hug people, but Miao Qiqi refused very neatly: "I don't want you to hug me!
The little princess also has her own choices. Every time I came to visit my grandparents, Qingyi carried her up the stairs, Miao Qiqi was a very dedicated person and would not throw herself into the arms of others at will.
So Ban Qingyi walked in front with Miao Qiqi in his arms, and Mu Ningyuan and Miao Miao left behind.
It's not Qingming today, there are very few people who come to sweep the tomb, and there are only a dozen people scattered in the huge cemetery. Miao Miao was wearing low-heeled shoes, stepping on the steps one by one, and her voice was regular and crisp.
Mu Ningyuan walked one step behind Miao Miao and looked at Miao Miao's back silently.
"He's been with you for so many years. Mu Ningyuan spoke in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Miao Miao sneered and shook her head, "A man's possessiveness, ......"
"What about you?"
Miao Miao turned around.
Mu Ningyuan looked at Miao Miao fixedly, as if he wanted to look into her deep eyes: "Whether it's Mo Jingyu or Su Bang Curtain, have you ever been angry?"
"Mu Ningyuan, in fact, being angry is not the most uncomfortable. Miao Miao raised her hand, pulled her hair behind her ears that was blown by the mountain wind, and chuckled, "The most uncomfortable thing is that you clearly know that you are not qualified to be angry, but you still can't control your anger." ”
It was a bit tongue-twisting, but Mu Ningyuan still understood it instantly.
Because of this feeling, after divorcing Miao Miao, Mu Ningyuan has had countless times.
He looked up at her.
Miao Miao's height was not low, but at this moment, he was two steps higher than Mu Ningyuan, and he was able to look at him from a bird's-eye angle. The mountain wind tossed her long hair, and she held flowers in her arms, her eyelids drooped slightly, and her expression was peaceful.
"If only I could be honest and jealous. Mu Ningyuan spoke.
Miao Miao smiled meaninglessly: "What you should do, isn't it learning to let yourself go?"
"You're relieved now?"
Miao Miao opened her mouth and wanted to answer-
"Mom, what are you doing! Hurry up and chase us!" Miao Qiqi and Ban Qingyi had already climbed to the destination, Miao Qiqi grabbed Ban Qingyi's neck and waved at the two from afar, "Slow death!"
"Just come. Miao Miao raised her voice slightly and quickened her pace.
Mu Ningyuan stood in place for a few seconds, calming the fierce heartbeat in his chest a little before keeping up with Miao Miao's footsteps.
Actually...... After so many years, if you still look at each other, you can make your heart beat out of order and completely forget the time.
Miao Miao closed her eyes, silently exhaled a long breath in her mouth, and then opened her eyes, and her eyes were already clear.
Sweeping the tomb is a boring process for children like Miao Qiqi, but fortunately, Ban Qingyi accompanied Miao Qiqi throughout the whole process, Miao Miao put the flowers in front of the tombstone, carefully wiped the photos of the little flowers on the tombstone, and closed his eyes with his hands together.
Mu Ningyuan has always been by Miao Miao's side, silent.
The husband and wife in the photo are smiling happily, both of them were kind people before their deaths, Mu Ning thought in his heart more than once, if Miao Miao's parents were still alive, what would they think about him and Miao Miao being together.
"Mu Ningyuan, I have demons in my heart. Miao Miao turned her back to Mu Ningyuan, and her gaze fell softly on the photo of the tombstone.
"Maybe I won't be able to forgive you in this life. ”
"You've been obsessed with someone who complains about you, is it worth it?"
"You and Mo Jingyu are childhood sweethearts, they grew up together, and after so many years of relationship, they can still change their minds and fall in love with me. ”
"Then it's not impossible to fall in love with someone else, right?"
Mu Ningyuan was stunned.
It seemed that in that moment, he understood Miao Miao's heart.
It was never her own complaints that she was worried about, it was him.
