Chapter 69: Overnight
In the autumn of Sijiu City, the wind at night is very strong, cold and unpredictable, like a child playing hide and seek, appearing and disappearing for a while, mercilessly teasing the people shuttling in the wind.
Li Mu braved the increasingly fierce autumn wind and walked alone on the sparsely populated streets. With his hands in his pockets and his unhurried steps, the hem of his dark jacket with the zipper open danced with the wind, and the occasional brushing past people with shrunken shoulders made his elongated figure look even more erect.
After this failed dinner, the sky had already darkened, and he couldn't stand Tang Yu's eyes attacking and pleading silently, thinking that on the night they first met, Li Mu could only once again exert his warm male attributes, and sent her to the door without hesitation.
Wait a minute, it's different from what I planned! Didn't you just say that you would just have a meal, and then go back to your own house to find your own mother? What is the situation of making such a scene now?
Thinking of the girl's seemingly reluctant appearance when parting, Li Mu's whole body trembled, only to feel an inexplicable cold wind down the neckline into the back of his neck, and said in his heart that this piece of sugar is not easy to bear, if he doesn't get it right, he can be sweet to death, it is best if he feels wrong, otherwise it will be a big trouble in the future......
"Alas......"
Stopping at the fence of his school, looking at the tightly knit electric gate and the silent security room, his stunned expression made him look like a statue of stasis, he took out his mobile phone and pressed the unlock button, the numbers on the fluorescent screen ruthlessly reminded him of the fact that he had missed the curfew time.
After staring for a long time, he sighed helplessly, clicked on the phone book and dialed Ye Xiaoxia's number.
"Xiaoxia, I'm locked at the school gate, you hurry up and ......"
"Wood, I can't go back tonight, the moth is gone, and there is no one in the dormitory.
"What the hell?"
"Don't talk about it, I'm busy!"
"I'll ......"
According to the noisy voice on the phone, he quickly judged the environment Ye Xiaoxia was in, and combined with the analysis of this kid's preferences, he might not know which Internet cafΓ© he would be hiding in all night. It's no wonder that the strings in his head have been tight for the studio these days, and now it's understandable to relax and relax, the boss gives his employees a holiday, not to mention his brother who is busy.
He found Liu Ye's number again, and planned to go to his house again to make up for the night, but he didn't expect the result to be even more extreme this time.
"Sorry, the user you dialed is turned off, please dial again later. SorryοΌtheβ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Hung up the phone with a wry smile, Li Mu looked at the moonlit and starry sky speechlessly, and didn't know what to complain about. A phone call for help can win the bid one after another, and there is no one who is very lucky, and for a moment, he even had the illusion that he would be able to win the jackpot when he went to buy the Mark Six lottery.
Leaning on the cold iron fence, letting the palm-sized colored screen brick flip between his fingers, Li Mu silently recited the string of numbers that might be his last hope, but there was a look of embarrassment in his eyes.
"It's so late, won't it be abrupt......"
After thinking about it again, he looked at the fading lights around him, and could only compromise with reality, the phone was clenched in his palm, but he did not flip through the phone book, but directly pressed the number on the keyboard without hindrance.
"Hey ......"
After a moment's tone, a confused voice sounded on the other end of the connected phone, apparently unconscious, half-asleep.
Li Mu's expression was even more helpless, he hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said cautiously and softly under the other party's re-inquiry: "Sister, it's my ......"
"Li Mu?" The woman on the phone seemed to be suddenly sober, and her lazy tone revealed a bit of blame, "What time is it, what are you doing?" β
"It's only eleven o'clock......" Li Mu didn't have much to say about her good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, so she could only play haha perfunctory, "Isn't this an emergency." β
"Say it." I didn't ask what it was, nor did I ask what the reason was, the two words of understatement revealed not only trust, but also the friendship between sisters and brothers.
"Hey......
Feeling her acquiescing attitude, Li Mu scratched his head embarrassedly in the autumn wind.
β¦β¦β¦
Tang Luo returned to her home in a state of almost half distraction, and she didn't come back to her senses until the moment she turned on the light.
Leaning against the door, she smiled softly, just like the night she was rescued by Li Mu before, but the depths of her smart eyes revealed a bit of unprecedented hope and firmness, and she slowly closed her eyes, as if she wanted to engrave everything that happened today into her mind, and after her mind was settled, she changed out of her high heels and walked towards the bedroom with her bag.
Compared with Li Mu's casualness, she has let go of everything and doesn't care about it.
If her previous best friend's plan was the direction she worked hard for, then after almost fruitless attempts, now she only sees it as an aid; As for the rest, the girl decided to follow her own method, because she believed that there would be a good result between herself and Li Mu.
After changing into pajamas and cleaning up the mess in the house, she threw herself on the sofa and dialed her best friend's phone with a bit of joy.
"Chenchen, have you slept? I'm telling you, ...... today."
β¦β¦β¦
At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the major colleges and universities had already turned off the lights and rested, but at this time, Yang Rong forcibly cheered up, risking the terrible consequences of getting up tomorrow morning and becoming a panda, sitting in the living room in a daze, waiting for her unreliable younger brother.
In a trance, she began to think about how it had happened.
When it was close to eleven o'clock, she had just climbed into bed and quickly fell asleep, and her mobile phone was resting on the bedside table, but after receiving a sudden call from Li Mu, her peaceful night was ruined.
She has already decided, as soon as people step into the house, she will tear up the bastard who has disturbed her own beauty sleep and make dumplings!
"Kara"
With the faint fluorescence of the mobile phone screen, Li Mu inserted the key into the lock hole and turned, the door opened in response, he walked into the room lightly, and carefully closed the door, without making a big sound during the whole process.
Seeing that the room was pitch black, he relied on his previous memory, reached out and fumbled for the light switch on the wall, and after touching it with his right hand, he pressed it, and the whole living room suddenly brightened.
"Coming?"
"Ouch!" The abrupt voice startled Li Mu, and when he saw clearly that the person who spoke was Yang Rong, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, exaggeratedly patted his chest, and sat on the sofa with a low body, looking like he was palpitating, "Sister, you scared me to death." β
"Are you embarrassed?"
Yang Rong, who was wrapped in pajamas, stepped forward, knelt beside him, grabbed his ears with his bare hands and twisted them fiercely, ignoring the other party's shouting of pain and grievances, and slashed his head and covered his face: "If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you know how to toss your sister, right?" β
"Do you know that lack of sleep is a woman's natural enemy, and my beauty sleep will be wasted if I sleep less than ten minutes! It's good that all the good times are all over for you! I'm disfigured tomorrow, are you responsible?! β¦β¦β
"Sister, sister! You're light, ......."
His ears were twisted arbitrarily, even Li Mu, who was hard-boned, couldn't bear the heart-rending pain, and what was even worse was that he had no reason or could resist it, so he could only follow the direction she was exerting force, and begged for mercy without any image.
"How can it be so disfigured, what is there to destroy your natural beauty......"
"Do you understand the dark circles under your eyes? If you don't sleep well, you'll become a panda! How do you let me meet people? β
"Why can't you see people......"
"You've learned to be poor, haven't you?"
"It hurts, it hurts, my ears are about to fall off!"
"Well deserved!"
"I was wrong......"
β¦β¦β¦
"You, you really don't let people live in peace."
After a brutal ravage of Li Mu's ears, Yang Rong finally put away his playful thoughts, and stood up angrily and went to the kitchen: "Are you thirsty?" Sit down first, and I'll pour you a glass of water. β
"I'm sorry for you." Li Mu bowed slightly, sat upright on the sofa, put his mobile phone and keys on the living room table, but the smile on his lips was undiminished, "I said sister, can you be a little security-conscious, don't press the door key under the doormat in the future, how unsafe?" β
"Get used to it." Yang Rong stood in front of the water dispenser in the kitchen, holding a cup of water for him, and responded indifferently: "You know, I always like to lose everything." β
"Reasonable, I am speechless."
Li Mu looked around the furnishings in the house, looking at her simple and clean home, which was no different from the first time he visited, and he was a little restrained.
"Drink water."
She sat down cross-legged on the sofa, and looked at the young man with a glass of cow drink for a long time, in a trance, the past and the present overlapped each other, and now when she looked at it, although the person in front of her had faded away from the young and immature, he was still the simple boy of the past, and the only thing that changed between the sister and brother was the first time they met, and the only thing that seemed to change was the friendship that grew deeper and deeper over time.
"Ah-" Drinking all the water in the cup, Li Muyi wiped the water droplets on his chin and said with a smile: "I was blown by the wind for a long time, and I was finally saved." β
"Virtue." Yang Rong shook him in the eye without hesitation, pulled a pillow and hugged it in his arms, his white wrist supported his round jaw, his soft gaze fell on the young man beside him, and a slight smile bloomed on his lips:
"Tell me, what's wrong with you again, why are you homeless?"
