Chapter 126: Promise You
The summer in City B is too hot, and Aunt Mu can't stand the 360-degree sun over City B without dead ends.
She is going back, first, Muqiao's father is alone at home and has no one to take care of. Second, she doesn't want to be a light bulb here, which will affect the relationship between me and Muqiao.
Mu Qiao joked: "Mom, you just realized that if you weren't here, the relationship between me and Ziran might have developed faster." ”
Aunt Mu expressed her shame and immediately packed her things and went straight to the airport.
Before leaving, she repeatedly told me that her daughter-in-law of the Mu family could only be surnamed Bai, so that I would definitely live up to her hopes.
In fact, the relationship between me and Muqiao is already very clear.
The middle layer of window paper is easy to break, and Mu Qiao's temperament is still the same as back then, timid, and that layer of window paper has been hovering among us.
Until the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, his birthday.
During that time, the company happened to be busy with a big case, and I was busy all day long, and I couldn't tell what year it was.
I was busy working in front of the computer when Mu Qiao called.
He said it was his birthday and asked me if I was free to spend time with him.
Of course, I can't say no, even if it's an ordinary friend. After all, birthdays are only once a year, and they are not a common occurrence every month.
I said, "Of course, it's just an hour." ”
He said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you." ”
I heard him on the phone in a tone so gentle that I could pinch out the water, and I had a premonition that he was going to do something.
Sure enough, in his sea-view room, he decorated it with his heart.
Candlelit dinners, medium-rare steaks, and crimson red wine sparkling in the decanter, there is a great style of wine that is not intoxicating and everyone is drunk.
I raised my goblet in my hand.
"Muqiao, I wish you a happy birthday."
He smiled slightly, and the cup in his hand collided with mine in the air.
It was as if I saw sparks colliding in the air.
Dried the wine in the glass.
"Can you give me a gift for my birthday?"
Haha, I was prepared, and on the way here, I went to the mall and spent a lot of money to pick a high-end and high-grade tie.
With his current status, this tie naturally can't be too shabby.
I took it out of my bag and handed it to him: "Of course, I didn't come with two hands empty, that would seem like I was too insincere." ”
He is not satisfied yet, you must know that I, Bai Ziran, do not give gifts to boys easily.
He put his tie aside and ignored it.
I said, "Why don't you take it apart and take a look, does it fit your heart?" ”
He made a pun: "I love what you give, but you know, what's my favorite gift?" ”
I poured myself a glass of wine and drank it.
"I'm not the roundworm in your stomach, how do I know?"
It is said that the wine is strong and intimidating, and his alcohol consumption is not too good, commonly known as three glasses poured.
Before he spoke again, he drank two more glasses to himself.
A handsome face shone an ambiguous pink under the cover of red candles, like a shy girl's home.
He said: "Ziran, for so many years, every birthday wish, I have made a wish that you will come to me. ”
I said, "You've got your wish, and now I'm really by your side, drinking with you, eating steak, talking to you." ”
He glanced at me in a daze: "I don't want your people here, I want your heart to be here." ”
I sighed: "Alas...... You're such a greedy man, well, my heart is here, what do you want? ”
He knotted his tongue: "You, I, I want you to promise to be my woman." ”
I didn't hesitate: "Okay! I promise you. ”
He obviously didn't expect me to agree so simply, poured a large glass of red wine down, and looked at me directly for a long time, as if he didn't quite believe what I said?
I thought he hadn't heard, and said again, "I said, I promise to be your girlfriend." ”
He was a little agitated, got up with his glass, staggered, and probably wanted to come to me from the other side.
However, before he could take a single step, the whole person fell to the ground with his head down, unconscious.
Fortunately, there was a thick carpet on the floor, otherwise, I suspect he would have hung the lottery.
The way he looks, I wonder, if he wakes up tomorrow, can I pretend that he didn't say anything, and if he asks, I'll say he didn't say anything and get drunk.
It's really hard to get someone as big as him into bed.
I remembered that year, he was the groom for Qiao Zimo at my wedding.
His nose is sour, he has never been good at drinking, and he also blocked a lot of wine for me that day, he is the man in this world who really cares about me.
He was also very drunk that day, and the three of us women managed to put him on the bed.
It's better for me to be alone now.
I watched him lying on the ground, and he didn't move for a long time.
Summer in City B is always hot, and when I came, the sea breeze blowing outside carried a heat that could be used to cook instant noodles.
Although there was air conditioning in the house, it was not cold either.
I thought to myself, it doesn't matter if he lies on the floor for a while.
I drank the rest of the wine in the decanter, and ate the steak on the plate, Western food is like this, it is pitiful, I am not full, and I have finished the steak on Muqiao's plate.
Next, how to get the big guy Muqiao to the bed, it's a big project, how can I do it if I don't have enough?
In fact, I overestimated my abilities.
In the end, I had to barely drag him to the sofa in the living room.
In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the city is surrounded by colorful colors at night.
There is stillness in movement, and there is movement in stillness.
The landscape lights on the Ring Road are particularly dazzling, with the lighthouse shining faintly on the sea.
I sat in front of the window on the floor, looking at the outside world, and I was very emotional.
It is said in the deification that the marriage of mortals is destined, and from the beginning of birth, the immortals under the moon have tied the red thread with the person at the other end who is destined to live a lifetime with him, no matter how you want to change, it is impossible.
I'm thinking, my fate with Qiao Zimo is like an immortal under the moon who is greedy for a cup, and when he tied the red line, he shook his hand and tied it wrong.
When he woke up, he realized that he was wrong, and he couldn't just make the mistake, so he twisted it off and pulled it again.
Perhaps, the person who is destined to grow old with me in this life has always been Mu Qiao, we went around and around, and finally turned back.
I remembered that during the Lantern Festival that year, I saw the young boy under the lotus lantern in the People's Park.
There is really a sense of a gentleman who is unparalleled in the world, and a stranger is like a jade.
In front of him, I feel much more at ease, at least I won't have the feeling of being scared all day long with Qiao Zimo.
Muqiao, will it be the one I choose in the end?
