Chapter 31: Tenderness That Belongs Only to You
This time at the meal, Yan Xiaoyu was not as arrogant as before, this time, the two people sitting opposite each other were like they were separated by something, and no one said anything more.
The two of them finished the meal quietly, as if they had a lot of words, and they seemed to be thinking about how to say them.
Yan Xiaoyu was very unaccustomed to such an environment, she tried hard to find something to talk about, but just when she raised her head and just wanted to say something, she saw Mu Tingchen looking preoccupied.
Yan Xiaoyu gave up and didn't say anything more.
Yan Xiaoyu, who ate this meal, was uncomfortable.
"I'm done. ”
Mu Tingchen gently put down the knife and fork in his hand, and looked in the direction of Yan Xiaoyu in a daze.
At this time, Yan Xiaoyu tilted his head, biting the corner of the fork uncomfortably, in a daze. He didn't notice that Mu Tingchen's eyes were already looking at him.
Mu Tingchen looked at Yan Xiaoyu with a smile, his eyes were full of tenderness.
If there were others present, they would be surprised that Mu Tingchen, who had always called himself cold, would still have such a gentle side.
Mu Tingchen's hand unconsciously stretched out to Yan Xiaoyu and gently wiped away the residue at the corner of her mouth.
"Huh?"
At this time, Yan Xiaoyu reacted, raised his head, and looked at Mu Tingchen suspiciously, but found that the hand he had just wiped his lips had put on his lips, savoring something.
Yan Xiaoyu's face turned red, and he stood up in a panic, pointing at Mu Tingchen, not knowing what to say for a while.
"What, want to be eye-catching?"
Mu Tingchen raised his head lightly as if nothing had happened, looked at Yan Xiaoyu who was flustered, and suddenly had a bad taste.
"I, I ......"
Yan Xiaoyu, who was speechless, didn't know what to say, his mind was blank now, but he couldn't believe that Mu Tingchen, who had always been abstinent, would make such an action to himself.
"After eating, let's go. ”
Mu Tingchen's tone was full of gentleness, not as cold as when he was in C City, not as formal as he was in the company, just like an old husband and wife who have been in the company for a long time.
Plain with tenderness.
"Good. ”
Yan Xiaoyu smiled obediently, nodded slightly, pulled out the chair, and walked out in a dashing manner.
Mu Tingchen sat on the chair, looking at Yan Xiaoyu's figure that had already walked away, thinking slightly.
He knew that he was tempted, as if he had been five years ago, and he had no power to resist the little woman in front of him, and perhaps his tenderness was only available to her.
Mu Tingchen saw that Yan Xiaoyu not far away was already standing there, and kept waving to him, signaling him to go over, before he slowly got up and walked towards her with a smile.
Two people walking on the empty streets of New York.
There is no more noise during the day, and only silence and a hint of coolness are left at night.
Yan Xiaoyu hugged himself slightly, and suddenly regretted that he went out with so little wear today.
"Hmm. ”
Yan Xiaoyu, who couldn't help but shudder, felt a trace of warmth when he just wanted to find a topic to say something.
"Leng doesn't know when you'll learn to take care of yourself. ”
Before Yan Xiaoyu could speak, he heard Mu Tingchen's words coming from his ears.
Mu Tingchen gently put his coat beside Yan Xiaoyu, gently wrapped around Yan Xiaoyu's thin waist, and whispered, "Do you want me to take care of you for the rest of your life?" ”
"Isn't it possible for a lifetime? ”
Hearing Mu Tingchen's words, Yan Xiaoyu murmured quietly.
"What do you say. ”
Maybe he didn't hear Yan Xiaoyu's words, Mu Tingchen pulled her in front of him and asked patiently.
"No, it's nothing. Let's go, let's go back, it's too cold outside. ”
Yan Xiaoyu laughed, did not repeat what he had just said, flexibly broke out of Mu Tingchen's arms, and trotted to the front.
"Whew. The ghost knows what he has just experienced, is this still Mu Tingchen, he must be dreaming, since yesterday, it must be fake. ”
Yan Xiaoyu stopped at the corner of the street and slapped his chest vigorously, looking disbelieving.
"Yo, where did you get the chick. ”
When Yan Xiaoyu was still thinking about complaining about Mu Tingchen, he heard a frolicking sound not far away.
This.
Yan Xiaoyu looked back in horror, only to find that he had unknowingly run a long way, but Mu Tingchen did not catch up.
Broken Chinese, getting closer.
"Is this a quarrel with your boyfriend? Do you want your little brother to comfort you? ”
On the other side of the street, Yan Xiaoyu watched five or six people walking towards him.
The man who took the lead, speaking broken Chinese, seemed to identify himself as Chinese.
"Why, where does my brother want to take me to play? ”
Yan Xiaoyu didn't refute, and followed the man's words, but her whole body entered a state of alert, thinking about how to escape at any time.
You must know that in the face of these five big and three rough men, even if Yan Xiaoyu has learned taekwondo or something in those years, it is useless at all.
You have no chance of winning.
Yan Xiaoyu could only delay the time, praying for Mu Tingchen to come over and help him.
"Let's go, brother will take you to the bar to warm up. ”
This time, the man did not speak Chinese again, as if Yan Xiaoyu's identity was confirmed, and spoke fluent English.
But Yan Xiaoyu didn't seem to understand, and looked at those people with a stupid look.
"Hahaha, today is a good encounter. ”
Seeing that Yan Xiaoyu didn't understand what he said, the group of people immediately burst out laughing, and couldn't help cheering at their own people.
"Cut, idiot. ”
Yan Xiaoyu silently rolled his eyes in his heart, measured his strength, maybe put down the person who came to him first, and then run away desperately, there may still be a chance.
It's close, it's close.
The person who took the lead walked towards Yan Xiaoyu with a sigh, and when he just wanted to reach out and touch Yan Xiaoyu's face, he was slapped to the other side by a strong force.
"Who. ”
On the dark street corner, a person stood beside Yan Xiaoyu, and she didn't have to guess, she also knew who that person was.
The familiar taste and warm palm made Yan Xiaoyu want to cry at that moment.
"I've called the police, if you don't want to leave yet. ”
When the group of people saw that Yan Xiaoyu was not alone, and that person also said to call the police, they immediately laughed and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." ”
After saying that, he beckoned the group of people and ran away without looking back.
"Why, the business came abroad?"
Yan Xiaoyu knew that Mu Tingchen was ridiculing what she said to him at the beginning, but now he is reluctant to refute it.
The hands of the two people clasped tightly seemed extraordinarily warm on a cool night in London.
No one mentioned that he was going to be engaged anymore, nor when she would leave.
After returning from the United States, Yan Xiaoyu's life seems to have returned to the past, and he is still busy from Mu Tingchen's home to the company.
The day of Mu Tingchen's engagement is getting closer and closer.
These days, Yan Xiaoyu has been thinking about it for a long time, since he didn't say that he would give up the engagement with him, and he didn't agree to give himself a chance.
Perhaps, when the day comes, I should really let go.
Yan Xiaoyu, who returned to Mu's house, took out the dishes in the refrigerator as always, and when he wanted to do something, Yan Xiaoyu glanced at the date on his phone.
It turns out that tomorrow is the day of his engagement.
Yan Xiaoyu put down the dishes in his hand, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar environment around him, and suddenly felt some inexplicable pain in his heart.
Maybe after tomorrow, he won't be here again, maybe Lin Wan is coming.
I still lost.
Yan Xiaoyu thought of this, his eyes were a little dry, and he couldn't help touching the corners of his eyes, only to find that he didn't know when he cried.
At this time, there was the sound of the key opening the door outside the door, Yan Xiaoyu immediately wiped his face indiscriminately, and walked to the kitchen.
Mu Tingchen, who was already accustomed to Yan Xiaoyu's existence, was looking forward to going home and seeing Yan Xiaoyu.
Looking at her busy figure in the kitchen, Mu Tingchen suddenly thought, if time can stop, if that person is Yan Xiaoyu.
Mu Tingchen's mobile phone rang suddenly, breaking the quiet pictures.
Mu Tingchen looked at the name displayed on his mobile phone and answered helplessly.
"Tingchen, tomorrow is the day you get engaged to Wanwan, you will come to the house for a meal, let's discuss what we will prepare tomorrow, we will be lively, and we will ...... then."
"Mom, I see. I can't go tonight, so I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
I was still thinking about saying something on the other end of the phone, but was interrupted by Mu Tingchen and hung up the phone neatly.
"This kid, Wanwan, he's like this, you..."
Mu Ma on the other end said softly to Lin Wan.
Lin Wan seemed to be used to it, turned around, smiled and comforted Mu Ma and said, "It's okay, Tingchen is busy, let's not bother, we will get engaged tomorrow, we have to be happy." ”
"Yes, yes, let's discuss. ”
Lin Wan over there looked like a good daughter-in-law, listening carefully to Mu Ma's words.
And Yan Xiaoyu here clumsily took out the last dish, and shouted to Mu Tingchen heartlessly: "Come and eat, I made a big dish today." ”
This time, Mu Tingchen looked at Yan Xiaoyu with some incredulity, the color of the dishes in front of him was not as dark as before, but bright and appetizing.
"Come and try it. ”
Yan Xiaoyu handed the chopsticks to Mu Tingchen with a treasure.
Mu Tingchen, who took the chopsticks, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but admire Yan Xiaoyu's cooking skills.
"Why, it's so delicious today. ”
"Really. ”
Hearing Mu Tingchen's appreciation, Yan Xiaoyu, who had been busy for a long time, seemed to be tired all of a sudden, and said: "Isn't this the last meal, I want to make it better and leave a good impression on you." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Xiaoyu regretted it, she saw Mu Tingchen's hand that was about to stretch out his chopsticks, and he paused there.
"No, you're engaged tomorrow, and it's not a matter for me to stay here, right, I'm thinking I'll leave tomorrow. ”
"Let's go?"
