Chapter 20: Peers

In Xinxin Hot Pot City, Mu Zixu and the three of them were still eating hot pot and chatting with relish.

At this moment, Mu Zixu had put away his thoughts and took his thoughts back to the dinner table. He had already thought about the task, and the next step was to wait for the dinner to end and take the time to go to the rooftop for a field trip.

And the current dinner is just a good opportunity to get closer to Meiyu and get to know this mysterious neighbor.

Mu Zixu decided to make the most of this opportunity.

"Oh, I thought you hated hot pot and it didn't taste good." Meiyu smiled.

"Where. The hot pot is delicious, it's just quite delicious. Hehe. Mu Zixu hurriedly said, of course, this sentence was indeed from the heart.

At this time, Pei Tianming interjected: "Did you hear what we discussed just now?" ”

Oops, I was so focused on thinking about the problem just now that I didn't pay attention to their conversation at all, and it seems that I will have to practice multi-purpose skills in the future.

Mu Zixu thought about it, but could only shake his head helplessly.

"Cut, I guess you must have been thinking about your daughter-in-law just now, that's why you're so distracted, right?" Pei Tian understood Mu Zixu's glance and said with a disdainful face.

"It just so happens that we were discussing your daughter-in-law." Meiyu dragged his delicate chin with a jade hand, staring at Mu Zixu seriously.

"What?" Mu Zixu's hand holding the wine glass shook, and the beer inside almost spilled.

"Haha, just kidding, Meiyu just said that next Saturday is her birthday, and asked us if we should go to her house for a birthday party." Pei Tianming came out at the right time to relieve Mu Zixu.

"I see...... Of course you have to go! My favorite birthday cake is my favorite! Mu Zixu pretended to smile humorously.

"When the time comes, many of my colleagues will come, and most of them will be beautiful women! So, what I said just now wasn't exactly joking, was it? Meiyu held his chin and smiled.

"Then I'll have to go! When the time comes, if I take a fancy to any goddess, you can say a few more kind words for me as a good neighbor. Mu Zixu joked. After speaking, before Meiyu could speak, he suddenly changed his words and asked, "What about Meiyu, where is your boyfriend?" Will it come then? ”

After saying that, he picked up his wine glass in a good time, ready to appreciate the ridiculous reaction of Mei Yu's made up lie.

And Pei Tianming on the side also looked at Meiyu with a wicked smile on his face, there was no news about Meiyu having a boyfriend at all, he was the one who came out in the beginning, so of course he knew what Mu Zixu meant by asking at this moment.

Who knows, the next sentence of Mei Yuyun and the light breeze completely made the two of them unable to laugh.

"Of course come back, this party is the one he organized for me!"

Mu Zixu and Pei Tianming suddenly stared at each other and stiffened.

"What's wrong? You guys? Meiyu looked at Mu Zixu suspiciously, and then at Pei Tianming, looking like he didn't understand why they had such an expression.

"Oh, nothing, nothing, your boyfriend is so nice! When the time comes, you must get to know each other well, hehe. Mu Zixu hurriedly forced a polite face.

But obviously, a sour feeling spread from the bottom of his heart, which quickly affected his taste system, and the originally delicious hot pot was replaced by bitterness......

After eating, Pei Tianming went back to work directly to the company, and Meiyu explained that he was going to work and asked Mu Zixu if he wanted to go back together, anyway, he was on the same road.

It was really an honor to be able to walk with a beautiful woman, so Mu Zixu almost immediately postponed going to the rooftop of the hospital.

Hot Pot City is not too far from the community where they live, and the two of them didn't hail a taxi, just walking side by side on the lively and noisy street.

Although this city is filled with thousands of complex flavors, walking beside Meiyu, Mu Zixu can still clearly feel the faint aroma of Yiren.

"You...... Have you been working in Mobile City? Mu Zixu finally broke the silence and decided to take this opportunity to learn more about Meiyu's situation.

"Not really...... I've done a lot of jobs, all sorts of things, like waiter, vegetable server, typist, and I sold Amway for a while...... In short, I like novelty, and I don't like to nest in one place in the same place......" Meiyu stroked the hair in front of his forehead and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"It's great that you can get in touch with different industries and absorb different levels of knowledge. It's all life experience. Mu Zixu smiled, thinking that she was the same as me, before becoming an online writer, I had done no less than her......

"I didn't expect you to be quite good at complimenting, in fact, in other words, I'm a bit unreliable." Mei Yuwan smiled, Mu Zixu found that she really likes to laugh, and her smile is really beautiful, a shallow dimple on the left and right cheeks is just right, even if it is harsh and cold, it will be melted by this warm smile.

"Where, I'm actually the same as you, I've also traveled a lot of places and done everything." Mu Zixu hurriedly said seriously.

"Let's talk about you, I heard Pei Tianming say that you write novels, to be honest, I really admire people like you." Meiyu turned his words, and looked at Mu Zixu seriously.

"What is there to admire...... You can see it, I can't even open the pot. Mu Zixu smiled bitterly. By the way, do you usually like to read novels? ”

How he wished she liked to read and read suspense novels......

In his full expectation, Meiyu really nodded: "I like it, when I'm usually fine, I watch it on my phone, and sometimes I watch it on the computer." ”

"And what is your favorite type of watching?" Mu Zixu asked expectantly.

"Crossing, Gong Dou, the president or something. Anyway, it's the kind that girls like. Mei Yuyun replied lightly.

"Oh......" Mu Zixu was suddenly a little disappointed in her heart, thinking that in this respect, she was really no different from ordinary girls.

As a writer, Mu Zixu has the same common problem as other people in the same industry, that is, he always feels that the type he writes is pure and elegant, while other types are clichΓ© and not worth seeing......

Obviously, in Mu Zixu's mind, suspense is the most elegant of all kinds of literature, how he hopes that Meiyu can also like to see the type he writes, but it backfired.

Regarding the matter of reading novels, because of different genres and hobbies, it can only be carried out here, Mu Zixu was disappointed in his heart, and he couldn't find a new topic for a while, and the two fell into a short silence.

At this time, the two happened to pass by a large hardware store, and Meiyu seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "I'm sorry, I have to go in and buy something." ”

"I'll be with you." Mu Zixu said and walked into the hardware store with her.

"Boss, I want a saw, a hammer." Meiyu said straight to the point to the owner of the shop.

The boss agreed and went to get it for Meiyu.

"What do you want a saw and a hammer for? Is something broken at home? Mu Zixu asked curiously.

"Oh...... yes, I want to nail a wooden box for cats. Meiyu replied casually, and she couldn't tell whether what she said was true or not.

The boss quickly brought the saw and hammer, Meiyu paid, and the two continued to walk back with tools.

"You like cats too? I also love kittens and puppies and stuff like that. Mu Zixu said with a smile.

"That's good, my cat can go to your house in the future." Meiyu smiled happily.

"By the way, let me help you with such rough work as a saw and hammer, this is not what a girl should do." Mu Zixu pretended to be macho and said with a smile.

"Oh...... No need, my boyfriend said help me. Meiyu said a little embarrassed.

"That's right...... That's good. If you need my help, feel free to call me. Mu Zixu swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva and pretended to smile heartily.

Although he was worried about going to the rooftop of the hospital, Mu Zixu at this moment still hoped that the way home could be a little longer, a little longer, so that he could stay with Meiyu for a while.

But it backfires, time is a very strange thing, sometimes the more you want it to be longer, it is fleeting, sometimes the more you want it to be shorter, but it has to give you a life like a year.

Soon they arrived home, and the two stood in front of their respective doors saying goodbye.

"Thank you for your hot pot ......" Mu Zixu returned the saw and hammer in his hand to Mei Yu and said.

"You're welcome, are we good neighbors?" Meiyu showed her signature charming smile.

"So...... Good bye. Mu Zixu waved his hand and turned to open the door.

He walked into the room and watched her open the door and enter the room through the cat's eyes, until all that was left in his eyes was the cold closed iron door, and then he turned around and let out a long sigh.

What's wrong with me?

Now that I know she has a boyfriend, why can't I let it go?

Was it because of my doubts about her identity, or was it ......

Mu Zixu suddenly felt that his heart was very messy, and there were some things that he still felt that he couldn't tell clearly.
