Chapter 11: The Engagement (1)

Lin Yansheng returned home before lunch. The door was wide open, and there was a faint sound of talking inside.

Lin Yansheng looked inside suspiciously, changed his shoes, Mu Yi hasn't contacted him until now, I'm afraid he hasn't woken up yet, and the ones who came to his house at this time should be his parents.

The voice came from his bedroom, very low, and he laughed twice from time to time. Lin Yansheng put down his bag and looked inside, it turned out that Lin Yanhuan was here, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, and he was feeding Mu Yi with a bowl, Mu Yi twisted left and right, refusing to eat, looking coerced.

"Yan Huan, why are you here?" Lin Yansheng said with a smile, looking at his younger brother in surprise. Lin Yanhuan has already worked, he is very busy every day, he goes out early and returns late, and it is rare to see each other when he lives at home, let alone after moving out.

Up to now, their sister and brother haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and when they see him today, they see that he has lost some weight, but his face is more serious, presumably because of the work that has made him pay some attention.

Originally, his parents insisted that he continue to study for a doctorate, but Lin Yanhuan was unwilling, he said that he could learn knowledge under any circumstances, and he wanted to enter the society quickly to accumulate practical experience.

The younger brother's mind has always been unpredictable and stubborn, and his parents couldn't resist it, so they agreed.

"Today's day off, Mom and Dad asked me to come and see you. Lin Yanhuan said, he put the bowl to Mu Yi's mouth, and wanted to stuff the spoon into Mu Yi's mouth.

"Yan Sheng, you're back!" Mu Yi saw Lin Yansheng as if he had seen a life-saving straw, he pushed Lin Yanhuan's hand away, lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.

"No!" his hand was suppressed by Lin Yanhuan,

"I'm not sick yet, I can't get out of bed. Lin Yansheng smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed, touched Mu Yi's forehead, and said, "What Yan Huan said is true." How many degrees is it now?"

β€œ37.5°。 Lin Yanhuan said, and handed the bowl to Mu Yi's mouth again.

"This porridge is unpalatable, and I don't eat it. Mu Yi called,

"Besides, 37.5Β° is a fever, I'm already well, don't treat me as a disabled person!" Lin Yanhuan stared at him coldly, unmoved.

Mu Yi turned his eyes for help to Lin Yansheng and said: "Yan Sheng, you take care of him, I can't beat him, I can't beat him, I was forced by him all morning, I want to eat braised pork, what did I do to sin me." ”

"Forget it. Lin Yansheng took the bowl in Lin Yanhuan's hand and said with a smile,

"Why don't you go back to my house today, I haven't been back for a long time. When Mu Yi heard this, he jumped up from the bed excitedly, he raised his foot and kicked Lin Yanhuan's waist, and said, "Get up quickly, I want to get dressed." ”

"Whatever you want. Lin Yanhuan frowned, dodged his feet, got up and went out. As soon as he arrived at Lin Yansheng's house, Mu Yi seemed to have arrived at his own home, scurrying here, touching there, gobbling up a bowl of rice, swallowing medicine, measuring his temperature, and sure enough, the fever had subsided.

Mu Yi said triumphantly to Lin Yanhuan: "Look, I just said that I was lying on the bed, and I was all cured when I came out for a run." ”

"How old are you?" Lin Yanhuan didn't answer his words, but asked coldly. Mu Yi looked at him and said dumbfoundedly, "24." ”

"Do you think you're still a three-year-old child?

Mu Yi looked at the door with a smile, turned his head and said to Lin Yansheng: "How have you endured it for so many years? ”

"That's what he did to you. Lin Yansheng said with a smile,

"Never did this to me and my parents. Mu Yi rolled his eyes dissatisfied, suddenly tidied up his collar, and said, "But what he said is right, after all, I am also a member of society now, so I have to be steady." He said excitedly,

"Yan Sheng, you don't know, when I went to my father's company for an internship, those employees looked at me, they didn't dare to arrange any work for me, if it wasn't for my father's iron order, it is estimated that I would have fished over this week. I also blame my dad, I got so much work at once, where did I do it, I was tired and lost more than a dozen hairs, you touch it, see if my hair is missing?" He put his head under Lin Yansheng's hand and rubbed it.

Lin Yansheng touched it twice seriously and said, "It's not less." ”

"No, I felt like I couldn't hold up my hairstyle when I brushed my hair this morning. Mu Yi said with annoyance.

"Your dad is also for your own good, you are tired now, and you will be easier in the future. ”

"How do you talk like my mother. Mu Yi approached Lin Yansheng and said with a smile,

"But also, how can our daughter-in-law not be like my mother. Lin Yansheng glanced at him sideways, and said, "How are you talking in a smooth tone now, do you want to be beaten?" She raised her hand to hit him, Mu Yi hurriedly dodged, touched the back of his head and grinned.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked, "By the way, where did you go this morning?" I woke up and didn't see you, I wanted to call you, but as soon as Lin Yanhuan's plague god came, I didn't have to call. Lin Yansheng lowered his head and sorted out the books on the bookshelf and said, "I went to see Tao Qirui." ”

"Huh?" Mu Yi looked at her in surprise and asked,

"Why did you go to see her?" Lin Yansheng exhaled and said, "She is also reallyβ€”really pitiful, I want to comfort and comfort her." Mu Yi lowered his head, thought for a long time, and said: "Also, I can't imagine how I feel if my mother is gone, it should be very painful, and I should go to see her." ”

"After all, she helped you a lot in your studies before, so don't be so cold to her in the future. Lin Yansheng said, carefully wiping off a speck of dust hanging from Mu Yi's eyelashes.

"Aren't you jealous?" Mu Yi lay on the table and looked up at her, well-behaved like a little boy.

"It's all said, what else do I eat? Lin Yansheng smiled,

"You can't stop you from associating with the opposite sex just because you're with me. It's good that you know in your heart, if you don't count in your heart and do things that don't respect you and me, it can only mean that you are not a person worthy of my trust. ”

"It's not that serious. Mu Yi hurriedly smiled,

"I know very well that I keep a very, very safe distance from other girls. ”

"I know. Lin Yansheng pinched his nose and smiled gently. Lin Yansheng rarely did not drive him back, but went out for a walk with him.

The two came to the rooftop where they watched the sunset, snuggled up to each other and sat down, thinking of the events of the year, they both felt funny and warm.

Several high-rise buildings were built in front of him, blocking the horizon in the distance, and Mu Yi said dissatisfiedly: "After building so many buildings, I can't see the sunset." Lin Yansheng leaned on his shoulder, looked at the buildings, and suddenly asked, "Mu Yi, what do you like about me?" Mu Yi didn't expect her to ask this question, he scratched his forehead and said, "As long as it's you, I like it." ”

"There's always an eyebrow. Lin Yansheng asked,

"What is there about me that makes you like me?" Mu Yi cupped her face and said seriously: "I don't know, I can't say, but as long as you are with me, I feel very happy." ”

"Me too. Lin Yansheng squinted his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Yan Sheng. Mu Yi paused slightly,

"Otherwise, let's get engaged. ”

"What?" Lin Yansheng looked at him in surprise and pulled down his hand,

"Engaged?"

"Hmm. Mu Yi nodded firmly,

"I thought about it, the banquet will be held in the Guofu Restaurant, and as for relatives and friends, we will invite some good relations, everyone will get together for a meal or something. By the way, look at what kind of wedding dress you like, let's go buy one-"

"Wait. Lin Yansheng looked at him helplessly,

"I haven't agreed yet, why are you planning so much?"

"I think you'd agree. Mu Yi held her hand and said excitedly,

"I can't wait to see you in your wedding dress. ”

"Mu Yi. Lin Yansheng frowned,

"Don't you think we're engaged too early now?"

"It's not early. Mu Yi shook his head and looked at her with a pair of big innocent eyes.

"We both just graduated, my career hasn't started yet, you just came to your father's company for an internship, and now is the time to be busy, is it too early to get engaged?"

"I don't think so. Mu Yi said,

"An engagement is an engagement, a busy job is a busy job, and the two are not the same thing. After getting engaged, you can still do your business, and I will still practice my habits, isn't it good? ”

"I'll talk about that later. Lin Yansheng turned around, looked at the scenery in the distance, and stopped talking.

"Besides, it's just an engagement, we can get married in a year or two, and we won't delay you or anything. Mu Yi looked at her face carefully, thinking that she was angry.

That's right, I can't find anything to refute, but Lin Yansheng just feels uncomfortable.

Engagement, marriage, these two words are too far away in her heart, she has never thought about it at all. But she has been with Mu Yi for more than four years, and she still has to come to this point after all, she is not unwilling, but she feels that it is too early and out of place.

"Yan Sheng, you can say something. Mu Yi shook her arm and turned her face to look at herself.

"I think it's too early. Lin Yansheng's face was squeezed into a bun by him, and he frowned vigorously and said.

Mu Yi looked at her pitifully, and squeezed her face again,

"We've been together for four years, and we've all reached marriageable age, so it's too early. ”

"I wasn't prepared. Lin Yansheng said again, she pulled his hand down and released her face.

"Let's start preparing now. Mu Yi said with a smile,

"When I go back in the evening, I tell my parents that tomorrow I will ask my parents to come to my door. ”

"Mu Yi. Lin Yansheng stood up, she stomped her foot anxiously,

"Won't you ask for my opinion?"

"I asked for it. Mu Yi also stood up and held her shoulders,

"You think it's too early, you're not ready, it's okay, it's just an engagement, just hold a ceremony, and when you're ready and think it's not too early, let's get married again, how about it?" Lin Yansheng looked at Mu Yi, knowing that if he didn't agree now, he would keep pestering him until he agreed.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing undesirable about what he said, it's just an engagement, not a marriage, and it can't delay anything, since that's the case, it's better to give yourself a peace of mind and give Mu Yi a peace of mind, thinking about it like this, Lin Yansheng sighed and nodded reluctantly.

"Oops!" Mu Yi suddenly patted his head and shouted,

"No, Yan Sheng, you just pretend that I didn't tell you anything today, I'll send you back now, let's go. ”

"What are you doing?" Lin Yansheng looked at him strangely, feeling that he was a little inexplicable. But Mu Yi asked where she went, sent her home, and didn't know where to run, and didn't let Lin Yansheng go out, and waited for her at home.

Lin Yansheng frowned, puzzled, Lin Shengming and Shen Jingyou also looked at her suspiciously, and asked her what happened to Mu Yi.

Where did Lin Yansheng know, she shook her head, turned around and entered her room. Sitting down in the chair, she felt a little messy in her heart, and she was a little irritable.

After waiting for about an hour, Mu Yi came back. Holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms, he solemnly knelt in front of Lin Yansheng, and said affectionately: "Yansheng, marry me." Lin Yansheng frowned and looked at the play he had worked so hard to prepare, feeling a little funny and helpless.

Lin Shengming and his wife crowded at the door, looking at the scene in front of them in surprise, their son was standing behind them, also frowning and looking at this scene coldly.

"Didn't I already promise you just now?" Lin Yansheng frowned and said.

"It was different just now, it was too unceremonial. Mu Yi smiled, stuffed the flower into her arms, reached out and took out a small box from the inner bag, it was a ring he had just bought in the store, he opened the box, handed it to Lin Yansheng, and said again: "Yansheng, marry me." Lin Yansheng looked at him and hesitated for a while, she felt that this was a little naΓ―ve and ridiculous, she didn't care about any sense of ritual or not, but looking at Mu Yi's serious appearance, she still stretched out her hand and nodded.

Mu Yi smiled happily, he put the ring on her ring finger, stood up, glanced at her with a smile, and then looked back at Lin Shengming and his wife.

"Uncle and aunt, do you agree to marry Yan Sheng to me?" he asked, looking at them expectantly.

Lin Shengming and Shen Jingyou looked at each other for a long time before they said: "This is a matter between you and Yan Sheng, as long as you decide, it's okay." ”

"Yan Sheng promised me. Mu Yi took Lin Yansheng's hand and grimaced at Lin Yanhuan,

"You'll have to call me brother-in-law from now on. Lin Yanhuan snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Mu Yi didn't care, he looked at Lin Yansheng and felt that as long as she was by his side, even if it was the end of the world, he was not afraid.

So, at Mu Yi's insistence, Mu Yukai and his wife quickly agreed to this matter. They were not opposed to this family affair, but they were very active, planned and operated it well, and were determined to give their son and Yan Sheng a very satisfactory engagement banquet.

They booked a restaurant, prepared an invitation, and spent a lot of money to show their heart and enthusiasm.

Lin Yansheng let them be busy and didn't participate, she still hid in the studio to paint, and rarely even went out.

It wasn't until Mu Yi urged her to choose a wedding dress that she knew how things had got.

"It's almost all arranged, you just have to choose your clothes and show up when the time comes. Mu Yi leaned over her and said contentedly.

These days, he is not even very busy with work, so he patronizes this matter, following his parents to visit Lin Yansheng's parents, giving a dowry, choosing a location, and arranging the scene, but he does not feel tired, but feels very happy.

Originally, her mother wanted Lin Yan to decide some things, but Mu Yi was afraid of disturbing her work, so she refused, so she took everything on herself.

He guessed Lin Yansheng's mind, and tried his best to choose her favorite and most satisfying, when he stood in the middle of the scene and looked around everything, he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Lin Yansheng seeing all this.

"Whatever wedding dress to choose for engagement, you can choose a dress. Lin Yansheng is used to Mu Yi deciding a lot of things for her, as long as she doesn't make too much of her own opinions, she can accept it.

"Okay, then you pick it first, I'm afraid that if it is custom-made at that time, it will take some time. Mu Yi pulled a chair and sat down next to her, looking at her with his chin propped up.

Lin Yansheng put down the pen in his hand, turned his head to look at him, and saw that although he didn't seem to have slept well, his eyes were shining, like two water-soaked grape beads.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch his hair and asked, "Didn't you rest at night?"

"Hmm. Mu Yi buried his face in her arm and replied sullenly. Lin Yansheng looked at him distressedly and said, "No matter how busy you are, you have to sleep well." ”

"I'm happy. Mu Yi didn't look up, still said sullenly,

"When you are happy and excited, it is not easy to fall asleep. Lin Yansheng cupped his face and said with a smile: "Why are you stupid like a child." Mu Yi looked at her, pursed his lips and smiled, really like a simple child.

Lin Yansheng touched his face with pity and said, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk and pick out a beautiful little dress." ”

"I'll go with you. Mu Yi hurriedly said.

"No, I haven't been out for a long time, and I want to walk alone. Lin Yansheng said,

"You sleep here for a while, and we have dinner when I come back. ”

"No, how can you choose a dress without a boyfriend, no matter how useless I am, I can help you come up with ideas and look at each other. Mu Yi wrapped his arms around her and said coquettishly.

"You listen to me once. Lin Yansheng sank his face and pretended to be angry,

"Every time I rely on you, can I do it if you rely on you once?" Mu Yi saw that she was angry, so she let go of her arm and said reluctantly: "Okay, then call me when you are about to come back, I will pick you up, remember to call me!"

"Got it. Lin Yansheng pushed him to stand up,

"Hurry up and go to sleep, I see your eyes are too sleepy to open. ”

"Then you stay with me until I fall asleep. Mu Yi took her hand and looked at her expectantly.

"Good. Lin Yansheng watched him lie on the bed, folded the quilt for him, sat down on the edge of the bed, and read a book with him.

After Mu Yi let out a thin and even breathing sound, she put down her book and stood up, putting on a coat and going out.

She had already found several stores on her mobile phone and followed the instructions on the map to browse one by one. It's been a long time since I've gone out for a walk like this, and although my foot hurts a little at the end, the whole person seems to be relaxed.

In the end, she found two suitable dresses in a store, and after ordering them, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Tao Qirui.
