Chapter Twenty-Five: The Long Road We Walk Slowly
Mu Liang's words are like fireflies in the evening, shining slightly, so that I will not be lost in the dark.
I don't know when my mom stopped, but when I woke up, a few hours had passed, and in the early hours of the morning, I could only calm down and prepare for class until I fell asleep.
Luckily, I was able to go to work again the next day, escaping the oppression of a few hours at home.
As soon as he arrived at the office, Zhong Qi stepped forward and asked, "What happened yesterday?" ”
I smiled and replied, "That's what you saw." ”
Everyone didn't know why, but when they saw Zhou Jiaqi gossiping, Zhong Qi didn't ask anymore with interest, so I didn't say anything more.
During the lunch break, Xiaowen at the front desk told me to hurry up, and when I arrived in the hall, I found that it was a guy from a bubble tea shop who had delivered two boxes of milk tea and other cold drinks and mille-feuille cakes. There is also a note on the box: Thank you for taking care of Xiang Wan.
I was stunned, and my first reaction was Mu Liang.
The little brother in the bubble tea shop smiled and said, "Big customer." In the morning, a handsome guy called to order it, saying that it must be delivered at noon. ”
Xiaowen looked at me with a smirk on her face and pushed my arm.
Since there were no students during the lunch break, it seemed that the voice of talking in the hall was several times louder than usual. Other colleagues in the office also came out to see the excitement. As soon as I saw that it was to give everyone cold drinks, I came up to me playfully and asked if I had made a local tyrant boyfriend.
I was so embarrassed that I blushed and didn't know how to respond.
Zhong Qi said with a smile next to him: "Oh~~~ I seem to know the inside story, and I have seen the true face of Lushan." ”
Everyone went to Zhong Qi to listen to the gossip again, and I was so anxious that I glared at him. Zhong Qi lit a cigarette and responded with a smile: "Don't say it, don't say it, drink it." ”
I rolled my eyes at Zhong Qi, but fortunately he didn't say anything about yesterday's embarrassment. Yu Guang saw Zhou Jiaqi standing not far away, and her colleague handed her a cup of milk tea, but she didn't drink it after taking it, but her expression was very strange.
Everyone started talking from praising my boyfriend to complaining about his boyfriend and complaining about his object, until a student came, and everyone dispersed.
Today's classes are small, mainly in the evening. Mu Liang got off work and came to the rest area of the hall to wait for me. The classroom is at an angled angle to the resting area, just enough to see where he is sitting. When the students stood up after the demonstration, they saw a familiar shadow go to the rest area of the hall.
Look at the figure is ...... Zhou Jiaqi?
There was a little bad premonition in my heart inexplicably. She shouldn't have a class tonight, why is she showing up at this time?
In class, I didn't have time to go out and see clearly, I was pestered by students to change my paintings, and I didn't have time to take care of the situation in the hall. Finally got out of class, and before I could pack my things, I pushed the door and went to the hall. It's just that Mu Liang was alone at this time, and he smiled at me: "It's over?" Can I send you back? ”
I looked around, and there was no shadow of Zhou Jiaqi.
On the way back, I was waiting for Mu Liang to say something, but he talked about all kinds of interesting things, but he didn't talk about Zhou Jiaqi chatting with him just now? I was suspicious, and I always felt that Mu Liang was hiding something.
Maybe he saw that I was not interested, and asked, "Is it too abrupt and angry at noon?" ”
I shook my head and replied without any tone, "No." ”
"Oh." Mu Liang lowered his head and stopped answering.
None of us said a word, but along the way I became angrier and angrier, and gradually distanced myself. The more I watched him silently follow me, the more inexplicable I became. I didn't look back until I entered the community gate. Inexplicably glassy, I feel very sour, obviously Mu Liang is already so good, but I ......, maybe I am too insecure. After walking for a while, I began to regret it a little, but my self-esteem endured it and didn't look back.
Before I went upstairs, I received a large message from Mu Liang: "I want to be your jingle cat, I am also afraid that you will be chased away by others, so I sent something over privately, I was too abrupt, I didn't consider whether your situation would be embarrassing, but I really want to be able to meet Auntie's requirements, I'm afraid you didn't stick to it, I'm sorry." ”
Seeing Mu Liang's information, his heart trembled, his eyes were sour, and he took a deep breath and endured it.
"Seeing you smile less, I must not have done enough. I've been under a lot of pressure at work lately, and I can't let myself fail, I want to protect you and be the one who gives you peace of mind. ”
I pinched my phone and brushed the moisture from my eyes. It's obvious that he doesn't have a sense of security, so how can he be angry.
When I got home, my mother was already asleep, and even though I was already tiptoeing, I woke her up. Mom said coldly: "What's the point of this job?" Coming back in the middle of the night, the salary is still low, and it is a shameful thing. ”
It's late at night, and I don't have the heart or power to refute my mother. After finishing his work, he lay on the bed and looked at Mu Liang's information. He texted me a lot of jokes and shared music with me as usual. In fact, I'm afraid that he doesn't belong to me, liking me will make him very tired and tired, I'm afraid that he will retreat on the emotional road, and the world seems to be left alone, cowardly, I only deserve to watch others blossom and bear fruit on the emotional road. He was the one who didn't get angry when he heard his mother's "crazy speech", and he didn't stop there.
Decided to reply to Mu Liang.
"Are you worth it? You can be a better person, or you can choose a better person to be your girlfriend. I'm insecure and tired with me. I mustered up the courage to send it out, and my palms were already sweaty.
"Nothing is worth it, Xiang Wan, you are my destiny, I value it like a treasure. I'm not good at talking about love, and I've only flirted with you, although I can only tell you jokes when you're unhappy, and I can only walk silently with you. But I don't give up and don't admit defeat, we go slowly on the long road, we insist together, you don't need those non-existent invisibility cloaks, I can be your trash can, I want to be your jingle cat. I know you don't believe forever, and you are the only one from the day I meet you again. ”
Seeing Mu Liang's persistence, I put my phone on my chest. What's Zhou Jiaqi? What is the pressure of the original family? It's good to be yourself, and I'm fortunate to have it, but I'm not going to die.
I had that dream again, trembling on the rickety suspension bridge, trembling with fear and not being able to take a step. The rope was cut off one by one, and finally couldn't stand, fell into the abyss, and kept falling...... "Late, late...... Don't be afraid, I'm ......" The voice came from nowhere, but it seemed to surround me. I silently let go of my nervousness and fear: drop it... It doesn't have to be worse than it is now.
Suddenly startled, I opened my eyes, and I was still lying on the bed. Although the sweat had penetrated the pillow, and Mu Liang's good night message was still on the phone, his heart suddenly became steady.
At lunch the next day, I was going to save money to buy something for my mother, but I didn't go to eat with everyone because I had been saving money recently, so I bought a box of instant noodles and sat in the office waiting for the water to boil.
