11. Helpless

Yuan Mu personally picked a bag of fruit and carried it, and rang the bell nervously.

"Coming, coming......"

The voice stopped on the other side of the door, and the door opened after a while, Luo Meijuan smiled a little reluctantly: "Why are you here, is there something wrong?" ”

"I have time today, I came to visit you, is it convenient for you now?"

"Hey, it's convenient, come in." Luo Meijuan opened the door and turned around to get her indoor slippers.

"Auntie, I brought fruit for you." Yuan Mu handed his hand forward.

Luo Meijuan hesitated for a moment and didn't stretch out her hand: "Look at you, come here, what else do you bring." ”

"Eat more fruits, it's good for your skin." Yuan Mu handed the bag forward again, and looked at Luo Meijuan very sincerely.

“…… Okay, I'll take it this time, thank you, don't bring it next time. ”

Yuan Mu was in a relaxed mood, and the aunt said that there would be a next time, proving that the aunt at least did not reject herself. However, Yuan Mu didn't answer, because next time she would definitely have to bring something, so she was embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed.

"Auntie is making tea?"

There was a set of tea sets on the coffee table in the living room, the water was about to boil, and it was rumbling, Yuan Mu stood next to the pier, staring at the pink kettle, and with a "pop", the glowing kettle switch popped up, and the light went out.

"Yes," Luo Meijuan saw her staring seriously, and said, "The kettle was chosen by Qiqi, and the quality is very good...... What tea do you want to drink when you sit? I have Tieguanyin, Pu'er, chrysanthemum tea, and rose tea. ”

Yuan Mu sat on the pier: "Chrysanthemum tea, thank you, Auntie." ”

"Defeat the fire, I also drink this." Luo Meijuan began to make tea.

Making tea is a quiet process, as soon as it is quiet, the atmosphere is not right, like the broken refill is very unsmooth, and I can't see which sharp and thorny white paper is shaved roughly, which makes people irritable. Yuan Mu worked hard to think about what topics he could say, and after working so hard for a long time, the tea was ready.

"Thank you, Auntie." Yuan Mu grabbed the teacup with both hands and tasted it, "It's delicious." ”

"Okay." Luo Meijuan said modestly, obviously absent-minded. This flower tea tastes like tap water when swallowed, and it her throat a little, Luo Meijuan couldn't stand it after two sips, and asked Yuan Mu: "Does Teacher Sheng know that you are coming?" ”

Yuan Mu nodded: "I know." ”

"Is she busy?"

"I don't know."

"I guess I'm not busy, I'll call and ask." Luo Meijuan talked to herself, called Sheng Fengshi, and immediately connected.

The room was very quiet, and Yuan Mu could hear the sound of Sheng Feng on the other side of the earpiece, but she and Luo Meijuan were a little far away, and she heard it very lightly, and Yuan Mu's upper body involuntarily leaned forward, and he looked sideways to identify it carefully. The communication between Luo Meijuan and Sheng Fengshi is as natural and smooth as living water, in contrast, the relationship between Yuan Mu and Luo Meijuan is not called "communication", it can be called "traffic blockage".

"Then you can come over without any arrangements, it's not far from the end of work." Luo Meijuan persuaded.

"It's too late now, it's a long journey, and when I get there, you should all eat, or another day."

"It's not too late, it's not too late, Weiliang has a party today, it just so happens that you came to eat together, you can still walk together after eating, okay?"

"Alright, I'll go now. Yuan Mu likes movies, if you don't mind, you can watch one with her, I'll do my best. ”

"Okay, I'll see you later."

Hanging up the phone, Luo Meijuan picked up the remote control and switched to movie on demand, handed the remote control to Yuan Mu and said: "When you say that you like to watch movies, you find what you want to watch, will you use it?" ”

"Yes."

Although it shouldn't be, Yuan Mu did feel a sense of relief. On the screen is the recommendation page, Yuan Mu didn't change the channel immediately, he watched a few recommended movies first, and unexpectedly found that there was an old movie from a few years ago, which was quite impressive and chose to play it.

"Don't sit on the pier, it's inconvenient to look sideways, come and sit here." Luo Meijuan greeted her and glanced up at Yuan Muxuan's movie, the name of which was "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko". Luo Meijuan didn't care too much and thought: Little girls love to watch some cats and dogs movies.

After Yuan Mu sat over, he was about a meter away from Luo Meijuan, this distance made Luo Meijuan quite comfortable, and she couldn't help but judge Yuan Mu in her heart: although his temperament is a little dull, he is really a painful child. The guests sat here watching a movie, Luo Meijuan was not easy to walk away, while drinking tea, she accompanied Yuan Mu to watch, at first she just felt that the colors were coordinated, and after watching it for a few minutes, she was a little immersed in it, and gradually forgot about the embarrassment and calmed down.

The pace of the movie is slow, Yuan Mu and Luo Meijuan sit quietly on the sofa, watching intoxicated, and they can't even notice the passage of time.

When the doorbell rang suddenly, Yuan Mu immediately sat up straight, turned his head to look in the direction of the door, and then turned around and was startled, two lines of tears on Luo Meijuan's face were flowing to her chin and were dripping down.

“…… Aunt? ”

"Hey, I'll open the door." Luo Meijuan was so sad that her tears were still flowing, she pressed pause, took two tissues and walked while wiping. Yuan Mu thought about it and followed him to the door.

Sheng Fengshi saw Luo Meijuan's appearance, but he was only slightly surprised, handed over the fruit bag, and looked at Yuan Mu behind, Yuan Mu explained: "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko, grandpa passed away. Sheng Feng nodded and entered the door to change his shoes. Luo Meijuan was in a hurry to watch the movie, walked in front, and asked Yuan Mu softly when Sheng Fengshi: "How long is the movie?" ”

"Half an hour." When Luo Meijuan paused just now, Yuan Mu saw the progress bar.

"Hungry?" This question is more light-hearted.

"A little." Yuan Mu replied softly.

The three of them sat down, Yuan Mu was still one meter away from Luo Meijuan, the length of the sofa was limited, and there was only less than half a meter left between Yuan Mu and Sheng Fengshi. Sheng Feng put the handbag on his lap and took out a small plastic bag from it, Yuan Mu opened it to see that there was a croissant and a box of yogurt inside. Yuan Mu tilted his head and stared at Sheng Fengshi for a while, and a very warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, Teacher Sheng." ”

"No, you don't." Sheng Fengshi said politely.

"Divide it in half?"

"I've eaten it."

Yuan Mu nodded and looked away.

The movie was playing, Luo Meijuan was sobbing, Yuan Mu was eating silently, Sheng Feng slowly exhaled without a trace, and then inhaled deeply, like this, with a steady and violent heartbeat. Outside the window, it was getting dark.

Luo Meijuan didn't remember the hospitality until she listened to the ending song, wiped away her tears, choked up and said, "I'm sorry, you're all hungry, right?" I'm going to cook, whatever you want. ”

Yuan Mu got up: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Sit down, sit down, you talk." Luo Meijuan walked to the kitchen sadly.

Now that the sofa is spacious, Yuan Mu is still sitting in place, not opening up the distance between the two people. "Teacher Sheng, did you come here today to delay work?"

"It's part of my job."

Yuan Muxin took a dull stick, slowed down for half a minute, and asked, "Will I give you bread and yogurt?" ”

Sheng Feng thought for a moment: "Okay." ”

"How much?"

Sheng Fengshi was stunned: "Mobile phone payment, forgot about jì." ”

"It's so convenient to live in a big city." Yuan Mu suddenly sighed, and suddenly became bold, "Teacher Sheng, I invite you to dinner, is it okay?" ”

"I'll take a look at the payment history." Sheng Fengshi took out his mobile phone.

Yuan Mu's courage was pricked with a needle, and it was completely released in an instant.

The sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen, and the lights in the room were warm, giving people the illusion of being at home. In a trance, Yuan Mu looked at Sheng Fengshi's face and felt that he would never get tired of watching it for a long time. Unconsciously, Yuan Mu stared at her for two or three minutes, and Sheng Feng couldn't bear it anymore and glared at her.

Yuan Mu hung his head, ashamed: "I'm sorry." ”

"Do you often stare at people?"

"No, only staring at you."

Sheng Feng was speechless.

"I like you."

"You said so."

"I like it."

"Thank you."

Yuan Mu thought about it and had nothing to say, so he was silent. When Sheng Feng, he felt that the silent Yuan Mu was the cutest.

Luo Meijuan came out one after another, she was still soaking in the ocean of sadness, not caring about the active atmosphere, Sheng Fengshi and Yuan Mu were so happy that they didn't speak, and the three of them had a quiet dinner at the same table, and the scene was harmonious in the weird. After eating, Sheng Fengshi and Yuan Mu stayed for half an hour, and then said goodbye and left.

The two dropped by.

Although they don't say anything, even if they see it from a long distance, they don't think that these are two unrelated people. Sheng Feng is always very sober, so she can always feel that there is a tacit understanding between her and Yuan Mu that does not need to be deliberately maintained-as Yuan Mu said, "heart to heart". "Saving zĂ i" is a state, it is an objective fact, and if you don't do anything to cover your ears and steal the bell when you are in the limelight, you will not deny this "save zĂ i". In the face of potential danger, Sheng Fengshi was reluctant to sit still, but since contact with Yuan Mu, Sheng Fengshi has felt helpless more than once. Because the word danger is often accompanied by temptation.

Yuan Mu got off the bus at the school with Sheng Fengshi and asked, "Can I send you home?" ”

"No, you can't."

Yuan Mu asked again: "Are you free tomorrow?" I would like to invite you to dinner. ”

Sheng Fengshi: "I'm afraid I don't have time. ”

Yuan Mu: "If I want to discuss with you the plan to communicate with Zou Qi next week, are you free tomorrow?" ”

Sheng Feng pondered for a long time, during which Yuan Mu was not in a hurry or rushed, only looked at her with a pair of transparent eyes, and the students around him came and went, Yuan Mu had good eyes and was single-minded. In the end, Sheng Fengshi said, "Yes." ”

"Thank you!" Yuan Mu was overjoyed, glanced at the time and said, "Don't delay you, I'll call you when I go back, okay?" ”

"Okay."

"Well, goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

Sheng Fengshi turned and walked away, about twenty meters away, glanced back, and immediately regretted doing so. It was already dark, the street lamps and neon lights painted the streets with unreal light, Yuan Mu still stood in her direction, crossed the pedestrians and smiled at her - of course, he couldn't see his face clearly, this was intuition, even beyond intuition, Sheng Feng knew that Yuan Mu was smiling, and he pursed his lips and smiled a little bit at the corners of his mouth.

“……”

You shouldn't have looked back.

Helpless, helpless.
