Chen Muye brought me a bowl of black soup to drink, which tasted a little sweet and a little astringent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Drink and sleep, and you'll be fine when you wake up. He took the empty soup bowl and told me to lie down and cover it with a blanket.

"Will you never wake up again?" I stared at him with wide eyes.

He laughed.

"It's called good soup, and when I was sick when I was a child, my mother would cook it for me to drink, and after drinking it, it would become good. ”

"Obedient?" I paused. "What does that mean?"

He groaned.

"Sleep! I'll understand when I wake up. ”

I closed my eyes. Lin Mai's shadow and Fu Yan's shadow flashed in front of him......

I snapped my eyes open.

"What's wrong?" asked Chen Muye as he stood at the door.

"Don't go, I can't sleep. ”

He put the soup bowl in his hand on the table and stayed at the head of my bed until I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was almost dusk, and I sat up and felt refreshed.

Chen Muye walked over with a book in his hand and reached out to touch my forehead.

I fended off his hand.

"I'm fine. ”

"Well, you understand the magical effect of the soup, right?" he laughed.

"Well, not only have I become well-behaved, but I'm still very hungry, and I want to eat the pumpkin buns made by Shen's mother. ”

He went downstairs, and I got up, put on my coat, and saw the book he had just opened on the desk, with the lion's ring on the cover, and went out to the balcony, and the sky was overcast, and the heavy clouds were hovering overhead, a sign of the coming storm.

Chen Muye brought the pumpkin buns and soothing tea made by Shen's mother, I ate two pumpkin buns, drank all the soothing tea, and the spirit was much better, so I changed my clothes and went out for a walk with Chen Muye, the small park in the center of the community, the area is not large, all kinds of flowers are blooming, the fountain water is bubbling happily, we walked to the fountain, picked a bench and sat down.

He looked at the fountain and talked about the book.

"The Lion's Ring is an interesting story. ”

"Do you think you're a lion or a rabbit?"

He fell silent, and I was asking myself.

"Sometimes it's a lion, sometimes it's a rabbit. After a long time, he responded.

"That's why I love that book. And...... "And I once rewrote the ending for Lin Mai, bowing my head and biting my lips, as if it was a past that was not worth mentioning.

"What?" he asked.

I got up.

"It's getting dark, it's time to go home. ”

He followed.

"I'm not going to send you back, there are still a lot of clothes to collect on the balcony. ”

The humid weather in Nancheng is a headache, and the clothes are often dried for a long time without drying, and the sales of dehumidifiers and dryers in Nancheng have been far ahead in the country.

"Then you drive carefully. I told him.

He looked at me and smiled.

"Hmm. ”

The warm smile made my heart beat faster, and I quickly turned around and walked away, forgetting to say goodbye.

Shen's mother had already prepared dinner, and when she saw me coming back, she greeted me and said, "The chairman and Mrs. will come back for dinner, Miss Wan will wait for them a little." ”

"Okay, I know, thank you Mama Shen, you can get off work!"

Shen's mother went to the room and took out a handbag.

"Zhu Zhu went to Haonan's house for dinner, and I went back to eat something casually. ”

"Then it's better to stay and eat casually!"

"Nope. She had walked out of the drawing-room door, and opened her umbrella with a clatter, was it raining?, I asked, she didn't hear it, her footsteps clattering on the bluestone slabs in the garden.

Did Chen Muye get drenched in the rain? I sat motionless on the sofa, and such a question flew through my mind.

Mom and Dad arrived home soon, and it was raining, so I suggested that they take a shower before eating, anyway, the food would not cool down so quickly when placed in the thermostat.

"What about Chen Muye?" asked me during the meal.

"Home. ”

Mom glanced at Dad, and the two exchanged information with their eyes.

"Are you dating?" asked my mother.

They both looked at me at the same time.

I thought about it for a moment and replied lightly: "I have this plan." ”

"Oh, it's the first time I've heard of it!" Mom turned her gaze to Dad. "Isn't Chen Muye from your company?, how is his character?" Without waiting for my father to respond, he immediately added to me: "No wonder I haven't seen Lin Mai very much recently." ”

The outstretched chopsticks stopped in mid-air and retracted them, feeling as if they had been hit hard and uncomfortable.

"What is his character, you should ask Xiaowan. I didn't listen to Dad's response.

"I'm full. I put down my chopsticks and got up.

"Don't you want to eat more?" asked my mom worriedly.

"I ate pumpkin buns in the afternoon and wasn't hungry. "I'll go straight upstairs.

Sitting on the bed reading a book, seeing that he was thirsty, he took a cup and went downstairs to pour water, and Aunt Fen came and chatted with her parents in the living room.

"Aunt Fen. I called her.

She beckoned to me. "Come on, Xiaowan, I have something for you!"

I walked over and she handed me a paper bag. "This is my graduation gift from Uncle Lin and I. The last time I prepared it too hastily, so I had to make up for the big one. ”

"Ah Fen, you're too big for her. My mom said with a smile.

"Xiaowan is so cute, I just want to pong her!" Aunt Fen took the opportunity to caress my baby's fat face.

"Thank you, Aunt Fen, then you can talk first, and I'll pour some water to drink. "I went to the restaurant with a paper bag to pour water.

I heard Aunt Fen say to my mother: "Originally, I called Lin Mai to come over, but Xiao Yan suddenly felt unwell, and he accompanied her to the doctor." ”

I walked up the stairs with a glass of water, and it felt like I was climbing a mountain and wading through water.

I just got back upstairs and heard the cell phone ringing in my room. Koala said she was outside my house.

"It's freshly made, you can eat whatever you want!" Koala placed the box containing the dessert on the table on the terrace.

I looked at the dessert box and was stunned.

She sat across from me.

"I've put a box underneath. ”

"Oh. I smiled at her and reached out to open the box, which was my favorite muffin. "I happened to be hungry. Thank you. ”

"What about Chen Muye?"

"Of course he went home. ”

"He won't let me see you. ”

"How so?"

The koala tuddled her hair back. "I can see through it, there is nothing he doesn't dare to do. ”

I was amazed.

"Such a high rating?"

"What's the matter, you're not happy?"

I cut it.

"What's my business?"

"Preferably. ”

When we went downstairs, Aunt Fen was already gone, and my mother complimented the sweetness of the koala belt, and the koala modestly said that if they thought it was delicious, they would provide takeaway and leave a takeaway leaflet. I sent her to the gate and laughed at her for doing business in front of her family.

"The inferior nature of businessmen is open to money. She teased herself.

"Zhu Zhu asked us to go to Haonan's house for dinner tomorrow, will you go?"

"Go, is it Zhu Zhu's meaning or the meaning of Haonan's family?" Koala asked me.

I was unimpressed.

"Is there a difference?"

"The difference is big, if it is Zhu Zhu's meaning, then we will appear as friends, our performance can be relatively casual, if it is the meaning of the Haonan family, then we are our mother's family, and we should be cautious. "She made a lot of sense.

I took it.

Haonan's family lives in Beicheng District, the three-bedroom house is spacious, Haonan's father and Haonan are like a middle-aged version and young version carved out of a mold, Haonan's mother who became a photocopier is a Hong Kong native, often travels back and forth between Nancheng and Hong Kong, and specially prepared a meeting gift bought from Hong Kong for us.

Koala and I quietly observed, fortunately, Haonan's family has a similar personality, and there is no worried impression that everyone will be disappointed, about the relationship between Zhu Zhu and Haonan, Haonan's parents bluntly said to us that they only have one son, Haonan, as long as Zhu Zhu does not disappoint them, they will not treat her badly.

"Zhu Zhu is so lucky. I whispered to the koala.

The koala didn't respond, perhaps thinking of her own situation, a little sad.

"Zhu Zhu's face is not sour?" I pulled the koala's thoughts back to reality.

Only then did the koala sigh and respond: "She's just like you, a fool has a fool's luck." ”

I snorted and took the double skin milk handed over by Haonan's mother.

After dinner, Koala and I went downstairs first, and waited for about a quarter of an hour before Zhu Zhu came down.

"Mother's family, how do you feel?" Zhu Zhu asked us.

"Not bad. I rushed to answer. "When Shen's mother officially came out, everything fell into place. ”

"It's not that simple. The koala calmly poured cold water on the side.

Zhu Zhu was anxious, pestering the koala to say one, two, three.

"They said that as long as Zhu Zhu didn't disappoint them, what was the standard?" said Koala calmly.

Zhu Zhu sighed, worry written on his face.

I reassured her to ignore the koala's alarmism.

"I think Haonan's parents are very easy to get along with. ”

"It's too hasty to make this conclusion when we first met!" Koala then poured cold water on it, Zhu Zhu and I were so cold from head to toe that we had to let us rejoice before we stopped, and being with someone who was too calm and rational would be a lot less fun in life.

The two of them put her in the middle, and they had to force her to ally with us right away.

"Qin Wan, you are a vagrant every day, and now you are taking the opportunity to create civil strife!" Koala was in a hurry to point the finger at me, this trick worked quickly, Zhu Zhu immediately asked me: "Xiaowan, when do you plan to work in our company?"

The koala smirked at her and announced that she had pulled the game back, and I was so angry that I drove away without looking back.

When I was about to reach the door, a person suddenly jumped out of the light from the headlights, and I was startled, and slammed on the brakes, so frightened that the car nodded vigorously.

I opened the car door, and was trying to find that person to theorize, and found that it was Chen Muye.

His hair was disheveled, the tie of his white shirt was half ripped open, his blazer was clutched in his hands, and half of his sleeve was sweeping the floor. When he saw me, he didn't speak, but sat down on the ground. Like a scoundrel.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked him.

"It's boring, I've been standing for a long time, sit down. ”

"Don't sit on the ground, go in! My parents are out of town, I'll go park the car first. ”

"Will you send me back?"

I let out a stunned sigh.

"You can call a taxi for me. He sat on the ground with his head hanging and said in a calm voice.

Did he drink? I leaned in and sniffed it, but it didn't smell of alcohol.

"Forget it, you get in the car, I'll send you back. ”

He got up, pulled the car door and drilled in, and I felt sorry for the lace cushion on the seat.

The car made a U-turn, drove out of the gate of the villa area, and ran wildly on the wide city express lane.

"What's wrong with you?" I couldn't help but ask Chen Muye, who was sitting next to me without saying a word.

He moved, choked up and said, "I don't want to be that lion, but I don't want to be that rabbit either." ”

"It's just a fairy tale, a reminder not to be greedy, not to be delusional, to be down-to-earth. ”

"I just want to do what I want to do. ”

"The lion and the rabbit did what they wanted!"

He suddenly burst into laughter.

"A stupid author writes a stupid story. ”

"But there are still a lot of people who like that story. Don't you think that each of us can see our own shadow in the story? ”

"Stop!" he exclaimed.

I hit the brakes, and it turned out that the car had reached the outside of his apartment building.

"Thank you for sending me back. He dragged his coat out of the car.
