"Every time I call you and you don't answer, what's the use of holding your phone on you?" he said angrily.

"I didn't hear that. Lin Yansheng looked at him strangely,

"What's the matter? With such a big temper today?" Mu Yi shook his head irritably, suddenly held Lin Yansheng's face, and said in a slow voice: "I'm sorry, I'm a little fierce to talk to you." ”

"It's fine. Lin Yansheng smiled,

"It's nice to see you angry with me. She opened the door, and the two of them walked in one after the other.

"You're not angry, are you?" Mu Yi looked at Lin Yansheng's face and said with a bitter face,

"Something happened today and I don't know what to do, that's why I'm in such a bad mood. ”

"Not angry. Lin Yansheng put things on the table and turned to look at him,

"What's going on?" Mu Yi sat down in his chair, absentmindedly looked at the contents of the bag, and said calmly, "Tao Qirui's matter." Lin Yansheng didn't speak, just looked at him.

"Her mother died, she messaged me, crying like something, I had no choice but to pass. Seeing that Lin Yansheng was not angry, Mu Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly explained,

"I sent you a message! I called! But you didn't reply!" Lin Yansheng took out her mobile phone, and sure enough, there were several unread text messages displayed on the screen, and she said: "The things in my hand are too heavy, and I can't hold my phone." ”

"If you don't tell me, I'll go out with you, I'll just pick up the things. Mu Yi said, leaned in front of Lin Yansheng, and said with a smile,

"I'm on vacation today, where are we going?"

"I have something to do today, and I can't go out. Lin Yansheng said, seeing Mu Yi's expression unhappy again, and then said,

"If you want to stay with me, you can play computer games, and when I'm done, we'll go out to dinner in the evening. ”

"Finally, on the weekend, you don't have to be busy. Mu Yi began to be coquettish again, he never got tired of using this trick, but this time Lin Yansheng didn't appreciate it, she smiled: "Where do I have a weekend like you?" Okay, I'll get busy first, you can play by yourself." Mu Yi watched Lin Yansheng disappear into the room with his things, exhaled, leaned on the table, and was stunned with a bitter face.

Lin Yansheng finished the sketch, and it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening. She stretched her waist, looked at her work with satisfaction, and listened to it with her ear turned out, silent, not knowing what Mu Yi was doing.

She stood up, opened the door lightly, and saw Mu Yi lying on the sofa on her side, already asleep.

She took a thin blanket over him, sat down next to him, and watched his sleeping face in silence.

Don't look at him when he is awake, noisy, sometimes it is very annoying, but after falling asleep, he is like a child, with his mouth slightly open, quiet, and only making shallow breathing sounds.

Lin Yansheng couldn't help but smile, leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek, tucked the quilt corners, and turned up the degree of the air conditioner.

Mu Yi's physical fitness is not very good, he is easy to get sick, and he is very arrogant, he doesn't pay much attention to the details in this regard, Lin Yan doesn't know how many times he said in his life, it's best not to sleep with the air conditioner on when he sleeps, but he always doesn't pay attention to it.

As soon as she had a cold and fever, she stuck to Lin Yansheng again, so she had to accompany her. But although he didn't care about himself, when he was born to Lin Yansheng on the same issue, he seemed to have become an old father, and he couldn't wait to hang her on his trouser belt and watch her every day before he was satisfied.

Lin Yansheng saw these in her eyes and remembered them in her heart, she knew that Mu Yi was sincere to herself, he regarded her as more important than himself, and Lin Yansheng could understand it.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting beside him, how long she had been watching him, until Mu Yi stretched and opened her hazy eyes to look at her.

He was startled by her and almost fell off the couch.

"Yan Sheng, you scared me to death. He stroked his chest and exhaled a few breaths. Lin Yansheng smiled, got up and turned on the light, and said, "How many times have I told you, don't sleep with such a low degree, be careful of catching a cold again." ”

"How can I get sick so easily, I'm in good health!" Mu Yi turned over and sat up, yawned, and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall,

"It's half past eight! Why don't you call me?"

"I see that you sleep so soundly, I can't bear to call you. Lin Yansheng straightened his hair in the mirror and said,

"Let's go, let's go down to dinner. ”

"I wanted to cook for you in the evening. Mu Yi called out dissatisfiedly,

"I studied with my mom all afternoon!"

"Forget it, it's so late, will you make it for me next time?" Mu Yi looked at Lin Yansheng's slender back, his face suddenly turned red, he leaned in front of Lin Yansheng, grabbed her shoulder, and asked softly, "I'm not going back that night?"

"Huh?" Lin Yansheng turned his head to look at him, seeing that his face was a little abnormal. She thought for a moment, and suddenly understood his words, her face turned red, and she hammered him on the chest a few times, and reprimanded softly,

"What are you talking about!"

"I don't want to go back, I'm with you!" Mu Yi took advantage of the situation to hug her and pecked her on the cheek a few times.

"Don't make a fuss, you'll go back after eating later. Lin Yansheng pushed him away and pretended to be annoyed and said,

"Don't even think about spending the night with me. She pinched his face, laughed, and took his hand and walked outside.

"No, I can't walk, so I'm going to sleep here. "Mu Yi played a scoundrel,

"Back pain, leg cramps, can't walk, can't walk. ”

"Then I'll call Uncle Mu and ask him to pick you up. ”

"Okay. Mu Yi laughed,

"My dad is more active than me in this matter, and he wishes I could have stayed with you. Lin Yansheng stood still, snapped and slapped him on the head,

"What's going on in your head? Haven't you woken up yet?"

"Wake up, wake up. Mu Yi's eyes rolled, he had already made up his mind, he held Lin Yansheng's hand, her hand was a little cold, like a small piece of Xiaoice in his hot palm, he couldn't help but hold it tighter.

The two ate a bowl of noodles downstairs and finished dinner. When Lin Yansheng was downstairs, he rushed Mu Yi back, Mu Yi was reluctant in every way, pestered her upstairs, plopped on the sofa and lay down, and said, "I have a headache, don't go back!"

"If you feign illness again, we won't see each other for two weeks. Lin Yansheng said angrily.

"It's a real headache. Mu Yi put the back of his hand on his forehead,

"I seem to have a fever. ”

"Why do you have a fever? It's not cold yet. Lin Yansheng said, but looking at his cheeks was indeed a little red, she touched his forehead, it was really a little hot.

"Wait. She hurriedly turned around, took a thermometer in a drawer, and took his temperature. 38 degrees, really feverish, Lin Yansheng became anxious, she rummaged through the medicine box to find the antipyretic, fed Mu Yi to swallow.

"I can't go back, I have a headache. Mu Yi hugged Lin Yansheng's arm and sprinkled coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, if you don't go back, you won't go back. Lin Yansheng hugged him and asked him to get up,

"You go sleep in my room, sleep on the couch, I'm afraid you'll get sicker." ”

"And where do you sleep?"

"I can sleep anywhere. Lin Yansheng helped him, asked him to lie down on the bed, covered the quilt, and got up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Mu Yi grabbed her hand.

"Hurry up the draft. ”

"It's so late, don't rush, stay with me for a while. Mu Yi tugged at her hand and asked her to sit next to her.

I don't know where he got so much strength when he was sick, Lin Yansheng couldn't break free, so he had to sit down.

"I thought we'd be together every day when you came back, but it turned out that we would only see each other once in a few days. Mu Yi said, he closed his eyes and rested his head on Lin Yansheng's lap,

"I'm not happy. Lin Yansheng stroked his hair, her tentacles were warm, and she whispered, "Go to sleep." Probably because of the effect of the drug, Mu Yi quickly fell asleep.

Lin Yansheng tucked the quilt for him and returned to the studio. She picked up her pen and started working again, and the night outside the window grew thicker and thicker, as if the beast had opened its jaw and devoured the whole world.

She was tireless, and in the early hours of the morning, she was really sleepy, so she lay on the table and squinted for several hours, and when she woke up, her neck and arms were sore and numb, and she had goosebumps all over her body when she moved.

She inspected Mu Yi's condition and saw that his fever had subsided, so she relieved herself and prepared to cook breakfast for him.

She doesn't know much about cooking, and she usually cooks indiscriminately, but today Mu Yi is sick, so she can't prevaricate with nonsense.

It took a lot of effort to boil out a pot of porridge, and I felt that the taste was okay. She put the porridge in the pot and warmed it, washed up, put on a coat and went out.

The morning air is sober and cool, and it is refreshing. Lin Yansheng stopped the car and went straight to the destination, and when she arrived at the alley, she got out of the car, glanced at the things in her hand, and then walked inside.

She was ready to be kicked out by Tao Qirui, even so, she still came, somehow, as soon as she heard Mu Yi say that Tao Qirui's mother had died yesterday, the scene of her coming to take them to the hospital that day flashed in front of her eyes.

The dilapidated little supermarket, the thin mother and the stubborn daughter, thinking of this, Lin Yansheng smiled helplessly, the world is impermanent, but I didn't expect this impermanence to come so quickly.

The doors of the small supermarket were closed, and the shelves outside had been removed. Lin Yansheng stood still in front of the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, it took a long time before someone came to open the door, Tao Qirui looked at her from the crack in the door, her face was tired, her hair was scattered, as if she hadn't slept for several nights.

Seeing Lin Yansheng, Tao Qirui was slightly surprised, but she quickly reacted and opened the door to invite Lin Yansheng in.

Her behavior was unexpected by Lin Yansheng, and she thought that she would still be hostile to herself and drive herself out.

The two of them sat down on chairs facing each other, the light in the room was dim, and Tao Qirui turned on the light. Under the light, her face looked more and more haggard.

"I'm sorry this happened...... Lin Yansheng said, his voice was soft, but there was still a faint echo in the empty room.

"Needless to say, I've heard enough of these days. Tao Qirui looked at Lin Yansheng and suddenly smiled, she shook her head and said,

"Mu Yi told you, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Don't worry, I was too panicked yesterday to send him a message, I haven't been in touch with him for a long time. Tao Qirui explained, looking at Lin Yansheng's expression.

"I don't care. Lin Yansheng smiled slightly,

"I'm not that stingy. ”

"I know. Tao Qirui said, sighing,

"So you're here today to see how I'm doing?"

"It's not. Lin Yansheng hurriedly shook his head,

"I didn't expect it - after listening to what Mu Yi said, I was also quite surprised, and I felt a little uncomfortable, so I wanted to come and see you. ”

"Why?" Tao Qirui asked softly,

"There's no affection between me and you. ”

"I also think it's weird. Lin Yansheng smiled bitterly,

"I don't know why, I just want to come and see you. ”

"Forget it. Tao Qirui sighed, she turned to the counter, slowly combed her hair in front of a mirror on the counter, and said slowly,

"It's also a kind of fate. ”

"Maybe. ”

"To be honest, I was thinking about robbing Mu Yi from you. Tao Qirui suddenly laughed,

"Now that I think about it, I think it's ridiculous, there is such a thing as feelings, where you can grab it. Lin Yansheng looked at her and was silent without speaking.

"Even if you snatch it, you will lose it one day, there is nothing in this world that will accompany you for a lifetime, even this body, when you are old, you will die and decay. Tao Qirui said, her movements gradually becoming sluggish.

"That being said, I still try to leave some good memories for myself when I come to the world, and these are the only things I think can be taken with me. ”

"Good memories?" Tao Qirui looked back at Lin Yansheng,

"Look at this kind of life of mine, what are the good memories?"

"Although your mother is gone, didn't she leave a good memory in your heart when she was alive?" Lin Yansheng tried hard to redeem Tao Qirui's negative mentality, and after saying this, she looked at Tao Qirui's expression carefully, for fear that she would be angry.

Tao Qirui looked at herself in the mirror blankly, and it took a long time before she smiled and said, "That's what you said." Lin Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"These days, you and Mu Yi are the only ones who come to see me. Tao Qirui said, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth,

"I really didn't expect it. ”

"Maybe we can be good friends. After this sentence came out of Lin Yansheng's mouth, Lin Yansheng was taken aback by himself.

But she didn't regret it, there was a quality in the girl in front of her that attracted her, although she couldn't say what it was, but she could feel that it was a firm and tenacious belief.

At this moment, Tao Qirui had already combed her hair, she exhaled, stood up, regained her spirits, and said, "Okay, I'm going to pack up and go to work." ”

"Don't you rest for a few days?" Lin Yansheng hurriedly stood up.

"I don't have a break, my mother's funeral has been dealt with, and there is no reason for me to continue to take leave. Tao Qirui smiled.

"Then you-" Lin Yansheng looked around at the surrounding environment, the shelves were empty, and the goods were gone,

"Don't you plan to stay here any longer?"

"This shop was originally rented. Tao Qirui said, she glanced around, and there was some reluctance in her eyes,

"How much effort my mom put into this shop to support me. Now that I'm grown up and she's gone, there's no need to keep the store anymore, and besides, I'm too busy at work to take care of it, so I have to transfer the goods out and return the store. ”

"And where do you live now?"

"Lived by myself. Tao Qirui walked up to Lin Yansheng, patted her shoulder like a boy, and said with a smile,

"Thank you for coming to see me, and I apologize for my previous hostility towards you. Lin Yansheng shook her head with a smile, she suddenly remembered the things in her hand, hurriedly stuffed them into Tao Qirui's hand, and said: "This is what I specially bought, I think you will definitely not sleep well at night these days, so I bought something to help you sleep and calm your nerves." ”

"Thank you, you're so considerate. Tao Qirui suddenly became a little embarrassed, she glanced at Lin Yansheng, and quickly lowered her head, for a long time, before she said,

"Actually, after so long, I don't like Mu Yi very much. After saying this, she waited for Lin Yansheng's response, but after waiting for several seconds, she looked up and quickly glanced at Lin Yansheng, and saw that Lin Yansheng was still smiling gently, so she continued: "I mean seriously, I really treat him as a friend now!"

"That's good. Lin Yansheng nodded, waved the mobile phone in his hand, and said,

"What about me? You haven't agreed to my friend request yet. Tao Qirui looked at her helplessly, but she didn't expect Lin Yansheng to still be entangled in this problem.

Outside the door at this time, the sun had already risen, and there were rays of sunlight projected through the crack in the door, Tao Qirui looked at the sunlight a few times, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and agreed to Lin Yansheng's friend request.

She was completely decadent and depressed for several days, and today, there was finally a glimmer of brightness in her heart.

As she was about to leave the place where she had lived for more than twenty years, she stood in the doorway and looked back at it.

The shelves, the clutter piled up in the corners, everything was so familiar to her, so familiar that she wouldn't bump into them when she walked with her eyes closed.

In this small supermarket, her mother took care of her growing up, and the dust waving in the sun seemed to be the molecule that made up every picture of her life with her mother.

She saw the picture of her mother praising her when she received the award, the picture of her mother scolding her when she made a mistake, and the picture of her mother, who had always been thrifty, spending more than 200 yuan to buy a cake for herself.

On the shelf near the door, mother and son laughed at each other, smearing cake cream on each other's faces.

Thinking of these, Tao Qirui felt sad and warm, she had no father since she was a child, and the most her mother said to her was that no one will be by your side for a lifetime, no matter who it is, will leave after all.

At that time, she felt that her mother was ruthless and cold, and she always felt that her mother would leave her one day, but now that she thinks about it, her mother's words are actually for her own good, so that one day when she leaves herself, she will not be so sad that she can't even live her life.

Tao Qirui took a deep breath, and saw the hazy figure of her mother in front of her through tears, she bent her waist, smiled at herself gently and kindly, and waved her hand, Tao Qirui could hear her say to herself: "Xiao Rui, live well, Mom has always been there." ”
