Chapter 8: Friends (1)
When Tao Qirui returned home, she remembered the 500 yuan that Lin Yansheng transferred to her. In fact, what she said was angry, where was she willing to accept the charity given to her by her rival.
But the hospital has already been there, and the medical expenses have been paid, and if you want to return the money to Lin Yansheng, you can't ask your mother for it, and your mother is unwilling to go to the hospital, so she has to take her mother there.
Tao Qirui pursed her lips, five hundred yuan, it may be a small amount of money for others, but it is a lot of money for herself, she secretly regretted it, why did she make such a fuss for anger.
But even if Lin Yansheng didn't come, she still had to take her mother to the hospital, thinking of this, Tao Qirui glanced up at her mother, and saw that her mother was wrapped in gauze on her head, and she was still bent over to work there.
She couldn't help but feel a little sad, her mother had worked hard to raise her, it was time to work hard to repay her mother, before she put all her attention on Mu Yi, and didn't pay attention to everything around her.
Tao Qirui bit her lip, stood up, and said, "Mom, I'll go out." ”
"Why are you going?" Tao Mu looked at Tao Qirui and frowned,
"The store is so busy, you don't help, you know to run out every day. Tao Qirui pretended not to hear and walked out the door quickly.
She wants to find a part-time job, earn enough five hundred yuan, and return it to Lin Yansheng. She Tao Qirui doesn't want to owe anyone, from today on, she can't be decadent and languishing, she has to cheer up, if she wants to attract others, she has to become better, and she won't become excellent just by self-pity and self-pity.
Tao Qirui was trying to find a part-time job, and Lin Yansheng had just returned home. She changed her coat and sat down on the couch tiredly.
The room was quiet, there was no sound at all, my parents hadn't come back yet, my brother wasn't there, and I was the only one in the huge space.
Lin Yansheng sighed and remembered the scene just now. Her mood was a little complicated, and a little disgusted.
She hates to be exposed to these things, and she also hates to fight with others and grab things, and for a moment, she even wanted to say to Tao Qirui, Mu Yi, take it, I don't want it.
But she never said it, although she didn't show anything on the surface, but Mu Yi's position in her heart was very important, and she wouldn't let herself lose her beloved for no reason.
In her heart, Tao Qirui's impression was not very obvious, but Mu Yiti had more times, and she also cared.
Maybe Mu Yi really likes Tao Qirui in his heart, otherwise why do he always mention that girl in front of him, and deliberately say that he wants to do this and that with her, or send her home or something.
Lin Yansheng closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and felt very annoyed, she really wanted to put these things aside, didn't think about anything, plunged into the world of painting, and never came out again.
But she always lives in the real world, and these things also need to be experienced by her, if a person escapes everything, then what else can she endure?
Maybe it will be as fragile as a piece of glass, and it will shatter when someone knocks on it. After sitting for a while, the phone suddenly rang.
Lin Yansheng glanced at it with his eyes half-open, and when he saw that it was Mu Yi's short message, he closed his eyes again, not wanting to read it.
After two seconds, the mobile phone rang again, and when it rang again, it didn't stop tinkling, Lin Yansheng opened his eyes, picked up the phone irritably, and pressed the call button.
"What's wrong?" her expression was annoyed, but her voice was calm.
"What are you doing?" Mu Yi's voice came from the other end,
"Suddenly he drove me home and didn't reply to my messages. ”
"Draw. She said absent-mindedly.
"Don't keep drawing, your brain hurts after painting for a long time. Mu Yi smiled,
"I'll take you out to play. ”
"I don't want to go. Mu Yi could hear the tiredness in Lin Yansheng's voice, and couldn't help but ask carefully, "What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
"Nope. Lin Yansheng sighed and said,
"I just went to see Tao Qirui. ”
"Tao Qirui, why are you going to see her?"
"She said her mother was injured and was supposed to call you, but I didn't tell you, I went on my own. ”
"Her mother is injured and called me?" Mu Yi shouted.
"What are you doing, there's a mess in that place. ”
"Don't you know why I went?" Lin Yansheng couldn't help but feel a little angry, this was the first time she had lost her temper with him since they had been together for so long.
"Yan Sheng. Mu Yi slowed his voice,
"You wait for me at home, I'll go now. ”
"Don't come. Lin Yansheng said,
"I want to be alone right now. ”
"Wait for me!" Without waiting for Lin Yansheng to answer, Mu Yi hung up the phone. Lin Yansheng looked at his phone with tears and laughter, feeling a little helpless.
She threw down her phone, went back to her room, changed her clothes, picked up a book and read it. Mu Yi really did what he said, and half an hour later, he was already knocking on the door of Lin Yansheng's house.
When the two of them saw each other at first glance, Mu Yi looked down at the look on Lin Yansheng's face carefully, and when he saw that she was cold and didn't look at himself, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"What's wrong with you, why are you angry?" Mu Yi rarely saw Lin Yansheng cold, at this time, he would rather Lin Yansheng be irritable and lose his temper with him.
But he also knew in his heart that Yan Sheng would not lose his temper easily, she was a gentle person, but it was easy to hold everything in her heart until this anger disappeared.
Mu Yi didn't want to let her hold back, he sat next to her, grinning, grimacing to make her laugh.
Lin Yansheng ignored him, and there was no one around him, just looking at the pages in front of him. Mu Yi's grimacing face was about to cramp, and seeing that Lin Yansheng didn't react at all, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, hold Lin Yansheng's face, and twist her to look at him.
"What the hell is going on?" Mu Yi looked at Lin Yansheng, who was squeezed into a bun face, and couldn't help but smile.
"You let go. Lin Yansheng struggled to break free of his restraints, frowned and said,
"Why are you here with me? Why don't you go to your Tao Qirui. ”
"Huh?" Mu Yi looked at her amusedly,
"My Tao Qirui?"
"I see you're very fond of her. Lin Yansheng said, raising his butt and sitting a little farther away from Mu Yi.
Mu Yi looked at her, and it took him a long time to react, he had worked hard for so long, and finally saw Lin Yansheng jealous, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, put his face in front of her, and said with a smile: "Are you jealous?"
"How could it be. Lin Yansheng pushed his face away, he came over again, she couldn't hold it back anymore, and laughed,
"What the hell are you going to do?"
"It's obviously jealous, and I don't admit it. Mu Yi put his arm around her shoulders, buried his face in her shoulder socket and rubbed it, hehe smiled.
"I'm not jealous. Lin Yansheng said,
"It's a fact, you mentioned her so many times, and she came to you every time she had something, isn't your relationship very close?"
"I did it on purpose. Mu Yi held her hand and gently stroked the back of her hand,
"I just want you to be jealous, but after mentioning it so many times, you only react now, you little fool. ”
"You!" Lin Yansheng looked at him angrily, seeing his honest look begging for forgiveness, he couldn't help but smile again,
"Why are you doing this?"
"It's not that you usually don't pay much attention to me, you're either busy with this or that, my buddies have never been in love like us, I feel like you don't love me. Mu Yi pursed her lips, like a girl.
Lin Yansheng then understood, she suddenly looked at Mu Yi, and suddenly understood why he always loved to cling to himself so much.
She smiled, shook Mu Yi's hand, and said, "Am I usually ignoring you too much?"
"You just knew?" Mu Yi asked rhetorically, leaning against her shoulder socket again.
"It's the first time I'm in love, and I don't understand it. Lin Yansheng's face flushed,
"Moreover, I feel that falling in love is not the whole of life, I have more things to do......"
"You see, that's what you usually tell me, and then you're gone. Mu Yi raised his head again and frowned,
"It's been more than half a month since I came back from vacation, and I've only seen you two or three times. Lin Yansheng looked at Mu Yi and said seriously,
"Don't you have anything important to do? Besides, it's annoying to stick all the time. ”
"I don't bother. Mu Yi said,
"And I don't have anything important to do, I'm bored to death playing games every day. ”
"What else is your life besides me and games?" Mu Yi thought, recalled, and then shook his head.
Lin Yansheng said with a smile: "You have to grow up after all, you have to think clearly about your future plans when you grow up, you can't always play like this for a lifetime." ”
"You talk exactly like my parents. Mu Yi felt a little dissatisfied,
"Besides, I'm still young, isn't being young just to play, why do you add so much burden to yourself?"
"I don't want to argue with you, maybe the two of us didn't think the same way. Lin Yansheng stood up and walked towards his room.
"Thinking differently, it doesn't prevent us from being happy together!" Mu Yi saw her stand up, and hurriedly followed her to stand up, and said with a smile,
"I'll take you out to dinner. ”
"I've eaten, you can go back first, I still have homework to do. Lin Yansheng said with a smile,
"It's getting late, let's meet again when we're free. Mu Yi stood in place, and was about to say something, but after Lin Yansheng said this, he turned around and entered the room, closed the door, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by something.
Under the bright light of the living room, he suddenly felt that his heart was helpless, and he felt helpless for a moment. He sighed, walked to the door, and asked through the door, "Then I'll come to you tomorrow?"
"No, I'm going out to find the teacher tomorrow. Lin Yansheng's voice came from inside, faintly and a little distant.
Mu Yi still wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words back, he turned around and walked towards the door, and when he closed the door, he was stunned for a moment before turning around and leaving.
The room became quiet again, and Lin Yansheng began to think about the problem, but no matter what, her attention would always involuntarily shift to Mu Yi's body, and she couldn't help but feel a little bored.
Unable to concentrate, she couldn't do anything, so she threw down her paintbrush, got up irritably, and looked out the window.
While enjoying the sweetness and companionship of love, she is tired of such companionship. She didn't know how to deal with this mood, which not only made herself uncomfortable, but also made Mu Yi uncomfortable.
Thinking wildly, Tao Qirui's face appeared in front of her again, and she suddenly felt even more irritable, I don't know why people are always easy to let themselves fall into this kind of irritability, suffering from gains and losses, and can't help but always think of him.
The night outside the window was getting darker and darker, she heard the sound of doors opening and footsteps outside the door, and knew that it was her parents who had returned, she turned around, closed the curtains, and settled down again, wanting to finish the painting, when her mobile phone rang.
In the quiet space, she was startled, thinking it was Mu Yi's message, and took out her mobile phone to look at it, only to find that it was sent by Tao Qirui.
"I'll pay you back for five hundred dollars!" Lin Yansheng couldn't help laughing, in fact, the five hundred yuan was also her own New Year's money, and she didn't help Tao Qirui out of any virgin mentality, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her head at the moment of transferring the money, as if she was showing off, and as if she was sympathizing.
This feeling made her feel very enjoyable, and she felt faintly ashamed and guilty. She turned off her phone, sat down on the stool again, looked at the drawing paper in front of her, and became fascinated.
Two months later, she really received Tao Qirui's 500 yuan, at that time she had already arrived at school, almost forgot about it, and when she saw the transfer, she couldn't help laughing, thinking that this girl was too serious.
After that, she put this matter behind her, took classes seriously every day, and video chatted with Mu Yi in her free time, and lived a comfortable life.
She had never heard Mu Yi mention Tao Qirui again, and this person seemed to have disappeared from their lives.
It wasn't until she came home during the winter vacation of her junior year that she saw Tao Qirui again. At that time, Lin Yanhuan had just returned home, and he hadn't been back for two semesters, and the whole family finally got together and agreed to go out for a big meal.
When Mu Yi heard about it, he told his parents that the family would also follow, and it would be a gathering of old friends.
Lin Shengming agreed, he remembered that Mu Yukai was grateful and funny for the plum tree he planted in the corner of his yard, the plum tree was never raised, and it still died, but Mu Yukai's heart was much more important than the plum tree.
Although he said that he had a life-saving grace for Mu Yi, but for so many years, Mu Yukai and his wife have been so good to their family, and they have all piled up what is delicious and useful to their home, this life-saving grace has long been repaid, and he doesn't care about these false feelings, taking it too seriously will make people's hearts burdened, in Lin Shengming's heart, he has long regarded Mu Yukai as an almost biological brother, although he has not said it on the surface, but the status in his heart is self-evident.
Shen Jingyou understood her husband's heart, the Mu family was so good to their family, so good that she felt a little burdened, she told Yu Qinling several times euphemistically that she didn't need to send too many things to the house, she couldn't pile them up, and besides, their family of four couldn't finish eating, and Lin Yansheng's sister and brother were still going to school in other places.
Where is Yu Qinling willing to listen, he only said in a loud voice that this is his intention, and they have to accept it if they don't accept it. Where did Shen Jing carry Yu Qinling, so she had to agree, and these burdens in her heart had to be used to be good to Mu Yi, so that she could feel more comfortable.
The two families have come all the way to the present, although the number of contacts is not very much, but the relationship is getting deeper and deeper.
They met in a restaurant in the city center, and Lin Shengming specially asked for a big box, planning to invite the Mu family to have a good meal.
Where is Mu Yukai willing, although the economic conditions of the Lin family are okay, but they are just ordinary people, it is okay to let the Lin family out of the small money, and he is comfortable with the big money himself.
Besides, the Lin family has a life-saving grace for their own family, even if they give all the money of the Mu family to the Lin family, Mu Yukai is also willing, but he is afraid that Lin Shengming will not want it.
Mu Yukai is a rough person, not very meticulous, he only knows how to be good to the Lin family desperately, and he has not seriously thought about whether the Lin family is willing to accept his kindness, whether there will be a burden on his heart, but in doing so, he will feel comfortable in his heart, and his life will be very smooth, and the business will be very smooth, and the money will come very quickly.
He attributed all this to the Lin family, he said to his wife and son that the Lin family was his own nobleman, without the Lin family, his family might not be in chaos now.
Along the way, Mu Yukai talked enthusiastically with Lin Shengming and his wife, and when he arrived at the box, he invited them to sit down, and his family sat down.
Where is Lin Shengming willing, the four of them stood there and gave each other for a long time, but they didn't give a result.
When they finally finished discussing, they looked back and saw that the three children had already picked their seats and sat down, looking at them with a smile on their faces.
"Dad, it's just a seat, just sit casually, and fight back and forth. Mu Yi said, taking a sip of orange juice.
"Hey!" Mu Yukai patted Mu Yi on the shoulder, almost slapping out the orange juice in Mu Yi's mouth,
"This is called etiquette, how can you be casual, you learn hard, don't talk nonsense and embarrass in front of others. Mu Yi pursed his lips and glanced at Lin Yansheng.
Lin Yansheng lowered his head and smiled, her sleeves were ripped off, and Lin Yanhuan whispered to her, "Sister, you sit next to me." ”
"Why?" Lin Yansheng looked at him, although he was puzzled, he still changed seats with him. On her right are her parents, and on her left are her younger brother and the Mu family, and after changing seats, she sat farther away from Mu Yi.
Mu Yi looked dissatisfied, and he wanted to sit next to her with a bowl at any time, but he was stared at by Mu Yukai and didn't let him move.
"Lao Lin, I know that you don't drink, so I specially ordered you a pot of tea, I will toast you a cup first, you replace the wine with tea, feel free. Mu Yukai said, first raised his head and raised his neck to drink.
Lin Shengming saw that Mu Yukai drank it, so he had to drink a cup, but how could he drink tea like this, so he had to treat it as if he was drinking wine.
"Look at these two kids of yours. Putting down the wine glass, Mu Yukai said with a smile,
"Yan has grown up to be a big girl, Yan Huan has also grown up, I think that head is taller than you. He nodded at Lin Shengming,
"The main thing is to be smart, hey, look at this in my family, where did the results from childhood to adulthood pass the passing line, I was anxious to see it. Mu Yi heard his father say this, and looked at him anxiously, but Mu Yukai pretended not to see it, and then said: "Fortunately, Yan Sheng Yan Huan helped him review his homework, otherwise this kid can take the second exam?" He pushed his son's arm and motioned for his son to toast Lin Shengming, Mu Yi had no choice but to raise his wine glass and said, "Uncle Lin, thank you!" He raised his neck and took a sip like his father, but he was panting with spicy breath, which made everyone at the table laugh.
"You slow down, you can't drink, don't learn from your dad. Yu Qinling hurriedly said.
"That is, the child should not let him drink, just drink. Shen Jingyou smiled,
"Besides, these are all small things, what do you remember in your heart, but it seems too polite. ”
"That's right. Lin Shengming said with a smile,
"Since we are all a family, don't say these kind words, and help each other is right. ”
"Where is the trivial matter!" Mu Yukai hurriedly said, patting the back of Mu Yi's head, and almost slapped a mouthful of orange juice out of his mouth again,
"You saved this kid's life, this is a small matter? This is a big matter, with this matter, I have to toast you again. As he spoke, he lifted his glass and drank it down.
"Okay, don't drink it, you haven't eaten yet, you're drunk first. Yu Qinling persuaded him to put down the wine glass, and smiled embarrassedly at Lin Shengming and his wife,
"Lao Mu is like this, don't care. ”
