299: It's good to be back
With that, I walked on my own, completely unconcerned about Mina behind me.
I think that if I could look back at that time, maybe I would have noticed Mina's abnormality and become suspicious, and many of the things that followed would not have happened.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and the appearance of Mina made Ji Muqing and me happy, but I didn't expect that while we were happy, the seeds of the devil had been quietly planted.
"Xiaoqing, look who's back. I pushed the door in, and a burst of aroma came to my nose, Ji Muqing got up very early and was making breakfast.
Hearing my voice, she came out of the kitchen and naturally saw Mina behind me.
Ji Muqing couldn't be more happy, threw down the spoon and ran over, "Mina, you...... It's great that you're back. β
It can be seen that Ji Muqing is really happy, and she hugged Mina into her arms, like a big sister, shushing and asking for warmth.
Mina doesn't know if it's because of guilt in her heart, or because of the long time of separation, she always feels a little rusty.
Timid, not like before, he talks about everything, he is lively and cute, and he is very endearing.
"Mina, what's wrong with you, you're still so outside?" I felt it, and Ji Muqing naturally felt it, her relationship with Mina was much closer, and she was naturally the easiest to notice.
However, Ji Muqing and I didn't take this seriously, it was all Mina who was embarrassed.
Ji Muqing was very enthusiastic, took off Mina's backpack, pulled her into the kitchen, and asked her what she wanted to eat, "I've learned to cook now, I'll make it for you what you want to eat." Look, this is my fried poached egg, isn't it good? This is love, this is a five-pointed star, and this, put two wolfberries on it for a while, and make it look like a smile. β
Mina's gaze swept away from those well-designed things one by one, and her tone couldn't hide her admiration, "Wow, that's amazing, I haven't seen you for a few days, you've learned to cook, and you're doing it so well." It's all taught to you by Brother Zhao, right?"
Ji Muqing raised her head proudly, "No, I taught myself all this, huh...... Well, to be honest, it was he who taught it, but, as the saying goes, the master leads the door and learns to be a person. The main thing is that I'm smart and a fast learner. You see, this octopus is in the shape of a self-design. β
I couldn't help but interject, "Did you design it, or did you fail and can only make it into an octopus?"
Ji Muqing ran over and hammered my chest with a small pink fist, "I hate it, don't expose others." β
After this punch, she remembered that there was still Mina in the room, and her face flushed with shame, "Oh, Mina, I'm so sorry, I ...... I forgot about you, you won't laugh at me, will you?"
"How come, seeing that you and Brother Zhao have such a good relationship now, I'm really happy for you. Oh, by the way, I heard you're engaged, right?"
Ji Muqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, it was decided a month ago." I wanted to inform you, but I really don't know where you are. But it doesn't matter, you are back now, you can attend our wedding, so that when the time comes, you will be my bridesmaid, and I will ask Brother Zhao to find a very handsome man to be the best man, maybe you can make up your yin fate. β
"Good...... All right. Mina stammered in reply.
I always felt that something was wrong with Mina's return this time, as if there were a lot of secrets.
She has always treated Ji Muqing as a family member before, what is there that even her family can't tell?
"Xiaoqing, I'll come, you go and talk to Mina. β
Seeing that Ji Muqing always had endless words, I took the initiative to take on the burden of the chef and leave time for the two of them.
Ji Muqing took Mina's hand and sat on the sofa in the living room, asking questions, while Mina had been sitting silently, responding to Ji Muqing's questions, and had never taken the initiative to say anything to Ji Muqing.
I saw these abnormalities in my eyes, but I didn't take them to heart, and this is probably the most wrong thing I have done in the past three years.
At breakfast time, Ji Muqing proposed to let Mina go back to work again.
Mina was quite embarrassed, "Sister Qing, there is no one in that position now, if there is, you should arrange another position for me, I can't let others lose their jobs because of my appearance." β
Ji Muqing reached out and stroked her head, "Look at you, you are still as kind as before, you really haven't changed at all." You can rest assured, that position has always been reserved for you, and the current secretary is only responsible for some unimportant documents and meetings, and I personally follow the important things. β
"You don't know how tired I am when you leave, you come back this time, you have to do a good job for me, and make up for all the work you didn't do before. β
Ji Muqing joked that this is enough to show that she does not treat Mina as an outsider, but as a relative.
Between relatives, it should be like this, and you can say whatever you want.
After breakfast, I drove them to the company, and along the way, Ji Muqing and Mina sat in the back seat and kept talking.
I'm a little jealous, when Ji Muqing was with me, I never talked so much.
Look, since Mina came back, Ji Muqing has been talking non-stop.
Hey, my fiancΓ© is not as good as her sister.
"Xiaoqing, you are eccentric, you are usually with me, you talk to me, why are you with Mina, your conversation box is opened?"
Ji Muqing poked my back with her finger, "Don't become cautious, this is different, I haven't seen Mina for a long time, I always feel as if I have endless words." If you want to, you can do it, and if you don't want to, you can bear it. β
Mina showed a look of envy, "Brother Zhao, Sister Xiaoqing, your relationship is getting closer and closer now, and you are becoming more and more like a family, I'm really happy for you." β
"What kind of family, not married, don't count. Ji Muqing blushed shyly, turned her head to look out the window, and I could see the corners of her mouth raised from the rearview mirror, smiling.
I hurriedly said, "Someone has accepted my marriage proposal, and they have accepted my proposal ring, do they still want to pay the bill?"
"If you want to repay the debt, it's impossible, you can't escape from the palm of my hand in this life. β
Talking and talking, Ji Muqing and I talked about it, you and I said it.
I saw Mina sitting alone in the rearview mirror with a smile on her face, but the smile didn't look happy at all.
I "cough" twice, and motioned with my eyes to Ji Muqing to go and see Mina.
Ji Muqing hurriedly grabbed Mina's hand, "Mina, don't worry, no matter if I can take out his palm or not, you are my dearest sister." β
Ji Muqing said this, nothing more than to reassure Mina and give her a reassuring pill.
But Mina's reaction was always faint and didn't make much waves.
After dropping them off at the company, I drove away.
Watching Ji Muqing hug Mina's back and gradually move away, I always have an indescribable strange feeling in my heart.
I just don't think something is right, but I can't say exactly what it is.
I stepped on the accelerator and the car drove out with a bang.
When I arrived at the martial arts hall, someone had already come before me, and unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng came so early today.
Pei Xiaofei and Xiaodong also came early today, and the three of them were muttering something there.
I got closer and listened for a while, only to know that Pei Xiaofei and Xiaodong were called by Lu Xiaofeng so early.
"Let me tell you, the Da Pei Yuan Dan that the master wants to refine is amazing, not only can he live forever, but he can also beautify and improve his skills. β
Xiaodong looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a confused expression, "No, anything can even be eaten with the skills of picking up girls, this is amazing, you must be bragging." β
Lu Xiaofeng said "oops", "Why don't you believe it, what I said is true, I heard the master say it with my own ears." β
I really want to slap him, when did I say these things, but I'll bear with it first, I want to know what this kid is going to do next.
Among the three of them, Pei Xiaofei is the most calm and rational, "No, I remember that the master seems to have said that Da Pei Yuan Dan can prolong life, not immortality." β
"That's because he didn't tell us the truth, for fear that we would think about it. Lu Xiaofeng was trying to brainwash the two of them, "You say, if it doesn't have such a miraculous effect, would that Tianshan Laosu use such a big battle to help the master find medicinal herbs everywhere?"
"That old man is also a thief, he can actually think of using medicinal materials and asking the master to help him refine one. Eh, you say, since Master can practice, why can't we practice? Let's take a few days off, find a few kinds of medicinal herbs, and then we practice by ourselves. β
"If we succeed, then we will be developed, buy 10,000 pills, no, no, no, 100,000, 1 million, those rich people must rush to buy it......"
I can tolerate the front one, I can think of it as a child who is curious and adventurous, but I can't tolerate it in the back.
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to bring Pei Xiaofei and Xiaodong to a bad rhythm, and he could actually think of using Pei Yuandan to sell something.
Not to mention that these things can't be measured with money, if you really want to make Pei Yuandan such a vulgar thing, let the rich live a long life, and go to the rich to fish and flesh the rich people, isn't that indirectly helping the rich to bully the poor?
Immediately, I slapped it down, "You kid, what nonsense, huh?"
Hearing my voice, the three of them were startled, subconsciously got up, and obediently stood in a row.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled "hehe" and scratched his head, "Master, when did you come, why didn't you make any sound at all." β
I reprimanded, "Don't change the subject, now is the time to reprimand you." β
