Chapter 20: Rift (1)
This night, Mu Yi slept very deeply, I don't know if he knew the reason for the identification results or because his body was too tired, he didn't even have a dream, he slept until dawn, and he didn't know when to turn off the alarm clock in the haze. When he was woken up by Aunt He, he jumped up from the bed, looked around blankly, the sun shone in through the window, and a hazy light and shadow were reflected on the desk through the curtains, he actually slept at this time! Mu Yi hurriedly got out of bed and put on his shoes, opened the door and glanced at Aunt He, rubbed his eyes, and looked like he had returned to his childhood.
"Wake up, come down and eat. Aunt He said with a smile and wiped her hands on her apron.
"Auntie, what time is it?"
"It's past nine o'clock. Aunt He said, "Wash your face and come down to eat." After speaking, she turned around and walked downstairs, but was stopped by Mu Yi again: "Auntie, where are my parents?
"Your parents have already gotten up, and they went out for a walk now, Yan Sheng, I didn't see her, maybe she was still sleeping. Aunt He smiled and went downstairs.
Mu Yi turned his head to look at Lin Yansheng's room, he yawned, returned to the bedroom, washed up briefly, and changed his clothes. When he walked to Lin Yansheng's door, he paused slightly before raising his hand to knock on the door, but no one answered after knocking for a long time. He suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar, and hurriedly pushed open the door, and saw that the room was empty, and there was no one at all. He hurriedly searched around the house, and there was no one in the bathroom, and the suitcase in the corner was gone. "She's gone again!" Mu Yi thought to himself, but strangely did not feel surprised, he suddenly felt a little tired, as if this result had been expected in his heart. He shuffled out the door, staring at the railing for a moment before slowly walking downstairs.
"Eh, where is Yan Sheng?" Aunt He was bringing out the hot milk, and when she looked up, she saw Mu Yi coming down the stairs in a daze, and couldn't help asking.
"Gone. Mu Yi said, his tone sullen.
"Gone?" Aunt He asked in surprise, "Where have you been? Have you gone home?"
"Forget it. Mu Yi sighed and sat down at the table, his expression was gray and shrouded in a puff of decadent dust, "Let's eat first." ”
When Aunt He saw him like this, she didn't dare to say anything. This incident happened at home in the past few days, and even the mood of Mu Yukai and his wife was a little low. The usual lively home has become extremely dull, and Aunt He doesn't smile very often. She sighed with Mu Yi and said, "Let's eat, I see that you have been tired and thin for the past two days, and your face is like this." ”
Mu Yi suddenly felt a burst of sadness, he looked up at Aunt He, and the loss in his heart was even worse. The people around him cared about him and felt his feelings, except for her. He lowered his head and almost buried his face in the rice bowl, and no one saw the tears flickering in his eyes, the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of his eyes.
"Silly boy. Aunt He looked at him, and she was also a little emotional in her heart. She watched Mu Yi grow up, except for Mu Yukai and Yu Qinling, no one knows this child's character better than her. He is simple, passionate, and will give everything when he believes in anything, but the effort never seems to be proportional to the return. At this time, seeing his uncomfortable appearance, she also felt very uncomfortable in her heart, turned her head and secretly wiped a handful of tears, and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Although he felt tired, Mu Yi still rushed to the company to deal with some official business waiting for him to handle. In fact, Mu Yukai can do this, he persuaded his son to concentrate on dealing with Lin Yansheng's affairs, but Mu Yi refused. He didn't respond to his father's persuasion, he stubbornly pursed the corners of his mouth, and just did what he was doing. For him, this is also a kind of rest, he can not think about those troublesome things for a short time, which makes him feel a little relaxed.
But after dealing with the matter, Lin Yansheng's figure came to his heart again, and his heart instantly became heavy, as if a big stone was pressed on it. Mu Yi sat on the back of the chair, looking at the computer desktop in front of him, and on the desktop was a photo of Lin Yansheng. At that time, she was still in high school, her long hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was dressed neatly and neatly, and there were always drops or two drops of paint on it, which she accidentally stained while painting. Mu Yi looked at her in a daze, I don't know how long I watched, there was a sudden knock on the door, the secretary girl pushed open the door and poked in half a head, and asked softly, "Mr. Mu, are you going home to eat or at the company?"
Mu Yi came back to his senses, he sat up straight, and said, "Go home and eat." ”
"Okay, then I won't order your share. The secretary girl said, she saw that Mu Yi's face was very wrong, so she didn't say anything more, retracted her head and closed the door. Mu Yi pretended to pack up the things on the table, and after hearing the sound of the door closing, his movements stopped, and he was stunned for two seconds, then took the mobile phone on the table and dialed Lin Yansheng's number.
The phone rang twice and was hung up. Mu Yi threw his phone on the table, looking a little irritable. He stood up, packed his things and prepared to go home. Halfway through the car, he patted the steering wheel in annoyance, turned around, and drove towards Lin Yansheng's house. He felt very tired, but he had to cheer up, this matter was not dealt with yet, and he couldn't let himself mess up first. When he arrived at the door of Lin Yansheng's house, he saw that the leaflets that were stuffed in the doorknob were all removed, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
After knocking for a while, Lin Yansheng came to open the door. Her expression was cold, and when she saw Mu Yi, she was in a trance for a moment, but she recovered immediately. She lowered her gaze from him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Didn't I let you stay in my house, why did you come back again?" Mu Yi suppressed the impatience in his heart and said in a voice as slow as he could.
Lin Yansheng exhaled and said, "I want to come back, and I will feel more comfortable staying at home." ”
Mu Yi looked at her, there was indescribable emotion in his eyes, and he waited for a long time before asking, "Do you feel bored while staying in my house?"
Lin Yansheng glanced up at him, and saw that there was something wrong with his expression, and his heart moved, and a little guilt came out. She bit her lip and said, "No. She seemed to be about to explain, but the words came to her lips and she took them back, sighed, and said, "Come in." ”
Mu Yi followed her footsteps and walked in. The living room looked a little messy, and there was a bowl of noodles on the dining table, which had already been lumped, and it looked like people had no appetite at all. Mu Yi looked at the scene in front of him, helpless and distressed in his heart, he looked back at her and asked, "You have no one to take care of you here, Aunt He cooks at home, why do you have to come back here?"
Lin Yansheng sat down at the table and looked at him, but pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
"Obedient, come back with me. Mu Yi said.
"Nope. Lin Yansheng said, "I want to live in my home." ”
"Why?" Mu Yi didn't understand, "Have you suffered any grievances in my family? Is it Aunt He who didn't take good care of you or my parents who embarrass you?"
"Nope. Lin Yansheng said, she straightened her back, and her face was a little serious.
"Then why do you say that?" Mu Yi walked up to her and half-squatted down, he put his hand on Lin Yansheng's hand and looked up at her, "Or are you angry with me?"
Lin Yansheng pushed his hand away, she frowned, and said, "You don't want to be like this." ”
Mu Yi was stunned, he looked at her suspiciously, stood up, and asked, "Why don't you do this?"
Lin Yansheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "We can't go back to the past, Mu Yi, do you understand?"
Of course Mu Yi understands, but he doesn't want to understand, so he keeps pretending that he doesn't understand, and that's the case now. He said: "I don't understand, as long as I still love you and you still love me, everything will be fine." ”
Lin Yansheng looked at him in disappointment, she shook her head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" Mu Yi—" she sighed again, "Sometimes feelings can't control everything. ”
"What do you want to say?" Mu Yi looked at her, his heart overflowed with bitterness, he seemed to sense something bad.
"You ask me why I don't live in your house. Lin Yansheng said that it was very difficult for her to say these words in her heart, and she didn't want to hurt Mu Yi with this, but she had to do this, "I am under a lot of pressure to live in your house, and I can't afford your pity for me." Something bad has happened to me, but that's not a reason for me to be sympathized with by you. Now I just want to be alone and live a quiet life so that I can forget those things and forget those bad memories. ”
"Pity, sympathy?" Mu Yi looked at her in disbelief, she definitely didn't expect her to treat herself and her parents like this, "Why do you think so?" Yan Sheng, I have absolutely no pity or sympathy for you, I feel sorry for you, I-"
"I know. Lin Yansheng interrupted him, her eyes turned red, "I know you want to be nice to me and make me feel better." But for me, it only made me feel more burdened, as if I had suddenly become disabled and couldn't take care of myself. That's compassion for me, it's compassion! If it happens to you, you'll feel the same way. ”
Mu Yi looked at her steadily, and his heart suddenly turned into a desert, making people feel desolate and uncertain. After a long time, he suddenly smiled, shook his head, and looked away.
Lin Yansheng looked at him, not knowing if he understood what he said.
Mu Yi sighed, looked at the ceiling, didn't know what he was thinking, he lowered his voice and muttered, "Yan Sheng, why do you want to do this?"
Lin Yansheng frowned and looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he meant by this.
"Why do you want to think about everything so complicated?" Mu Yi continued, his eyes full of disappointment and depression as he looked at Lin Yansheng, "I always thought that after all my efforts, I have become the closest person to you, I am qualified to enter your heart, and I am qualified to be the person you are willing to accompany you." He smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that in your heart, you thought of me like this." ”
Lin Yansheng looked at him blankly, she didn't seem to understand, desperately trying to understand his words.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Mu Yi looked at her, "You tell me, what should I do?"
Lin Yansheng clenched the hem of her skirt, she hung her head, not knowing how to answer. She didn't know the answer to this question, she didn't even know what she should do now, let alone what she should ask Mu Yi to do.
Looking at Lin Yansheng's appearance, Mu Yi felt even more tired. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can do whatever you want, I won't force you." ”
Lin Yansheng still hung his head and didn't respond.
Mu Yi looked at the bowl of noodles on the table, sighed, and said, "Don't eat that noodles, you can't digest the cold noodles." I'll go back and ask Aunt He to cook some food, and then I'll bring it to you." With that, he turned to leave.
"No need. Lin Yansheng suddenly said that she didn't want to do this, which made her feel as if Mu Yi had become one of her servants, "I'll just make do with some food." ”
Mu Yi stopped in place, he didn't look back, and after two seconds, he asked, "Have you thought about what to do about Peng Zhan?"
Hearing this name, Lin Yansheng's fists suddenly clenched even tighter. She thought about it all night and hesitated. In her heart, she must have wanted him to be punished, but his threat to herself was vivid, and she was afraid of the consequences, and this fear was stronger than her urge to want him to be punished. When Mu Yi asked this question, her heart was still entangled, and she didn't want to answer easily.
Mu Yi waited for a long time without waiting for her answer, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at her, and saw that Lin Yansheng's fists were clenched tightly, and his body was tense like a stone sculpture. Mu Yi's heart softened, and he said slowly, "There's nothing to be afraid of. He threatened you, and that will only increase his guilt, so don't hesitate because of that. ”
"You don't know. Lin Yansheng said, turning his head in embarrassment.
"If you're afraid he'll send the picture out, don't worry, I won't leave you because of this. Mu Yi said, expressing his thoughts a little eagerly, "You can't let him threaten you with this, you have to be strong." ”
"You're not me, how do you know?" Lin Yansheng said, she stood up, breathing a little heavily.
"Of course I know that my heart is no better than yours. Mu Yi said.
"Well, I don't want to talk about that. Lin Yansheng turned around and stopped looking at him, she felt extremely irritable.
"Are you just dragging it out?" Mu Yi said, "The police have already investigated and can be prosecuted and tried, and the longer this kind of thing drags on, the worse it will be." ”
Lin Yansheng's body trembled slightly, she recalled her mood when she first saw that photo, a sense of fear suddenly grabbed her heart, she shook her head vigorously, gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, forget it." ”
"What are you afraid of?" Mu Yi stepped forward, he grabbed her hand and wanted to twist her around, "I've always been by your side, my parents are too, and we also went to ask Uncle Zheng to help us." What the hell are you afraid of, we won't fail. ”
Lin Yansheng broke free of his hand, she took two steps back, looked at him fragilely, and muttered, "Forget it, I won't sue, so be it." She couldn't imagine what it would be like for her parents to find out about it, she didn't want them to know, but if she went to court, they would find out.
"You weren't like this before, why are you so forward-looking now. Mu Yi looked at her with some disappointment, in his mind, she should be extremely strong now, showing the same indifference as Lin Yanhuan, calmly handling everything, and putting the culprit in prison.
Lin Yansheng glanced at him, turned his head again, and muttered, "You go." ”
"Did Peng Yan threaten you again?" asked Mu Yi, trying to find a reason and excuse for Lin Yansheng's weakness at this time.
"It's not. ”
"Then why? Did you just give up and let him get away with it?" Mu Yi said eagerly, "He may also harm the next girl!"
Lin Yan raised her head violently, she looked at him, her eyes were full of indescribable ingredients, for a long time, she showed a mocking smile and said: "If someone can also feel this kind of feeling, then it is not impossible." ”
Mu Yi looked at her in disbelief, he was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
After the words came out of Lin Yansheng's mouth, she immediately regretted it. She scolded herself for how she could have such a thought in her heart, and secretly looked at Mu Yi's face. Seeing that Mu Yi was stunned and didn't say a word, her heart became more and more confused.
"Didn't he say he wanted to mediate privately?" she said after a few seconds of silence, "then mediate privately." ”
Mu Yi hadn't come back to his senses yet, and just hummed at her words.
"You go, I want to be alone. Lin Yansheng turned around, she didn't want to see his appearance, as if she had seen a ghost.
Mu Yi looked at her back, and for a moment, he felt that this back was so strange, and it was not the Lin Yansheng he knew at all. Hearing this, he lowered his gaze, looked at the floor, his mind was in chaos, he didn't know what he was thinking, he turned around in a daze, and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he whispered, "I'll ask Aunt He to cook some food and send it over." Then he walked out the door quickly. After the door was slammed shut, Lin Yansheng's heart also trembled, she collapsed on the chair, and looked at the bowl of noodles in front of her sadly, the bowl of noodles was the same as her mood at this time, cold, like an iceberg covered in fog.
