"Is there any secret to repairing calligraphy and paintings?" Cheng Yijie looked at her almost polished before asking.

"There's no secret." Mu Qingcheng didn't raise his head, "Only by operating day after day, year after year, can we truly achieve 'rejuvenation skills'"

Cheng Yijie slowly stood up. "It's already 6 o'clock, are you going to practice until midnight, or tomorrow?"

The lights have been on in the room, Mu Qingcheng looked out of the window in shock, the twilight has piled up in the sky, and it is gradually spreading around, she actually consciously worked overtime for a whole hour, not that she is unwilling to work overtime, but that the working hours are too long and easy to get tired, which is harmful and unbeneficial to the repair of calligraphy and paintings. It's all thanks to Cheng Yijie, in order to snub him, causing her to be too selfless.

Mu Qingcheng began to clean up the things on the wooden booth, and as soon as he finished cleaning up, his hand was grabbed by Cheng Yijie. She retreated, trying to break out of this hand, but Cheng Yijie pulled her tightly and dragged her behind the door in one breath.

"You've snubbed me for almost three hours, have you gotten rid of your anger?" Cheng Yijie's eyes stopped on her face, and his eyes didn't blink.

Mu Qingcheng stared at him wordlessly and dissatisfied, his style of "enforcement" inspired her more and more rebellious at this moment.

Cheng Yijie looked at her for a while, his eyes were so deep and bright, Mu Qingcheng's heart was pounding again. But she kept her mouth shut, her eyes fixed on the front, not wanting to speak.

Cheng Yijie lowered his head, trying to find her lips, but she dodged him. Two clusters of soft light flashed under his eyes, making her heart pound and full of sour light. "Tell me why you're angry, I've waited so long, it's time to give me an answer."

"When did I become your girlfriend? You've gone too far to ruin my reputation like this! Mu Qingcheng finally asked repeatedly, "Are you deliberately tricking me?" You pushed me into such an embarrassing situation, let a bunch of reporters besiege me, and you yourself hid away to watch my jokes? When I called you that day, I was surrounded by reporters, you heard it, it was all thanks to you, why didn't you even have a phone call to explain your condolences later? ”

A tense, gloomy atmosphere suddenly brewed in the room.

For a moment, the corners of Cheng Yijie's mouth rose slightly. "I couldn't say it clearly on the phone, I didn't come to explain it in person. I'm serious, the things you've done with me aren't up to the level of a girlfriend? I have admitted it in public, and you still want to deny it? ”

Mu Qingcheng's heart throbbed, and his face turned red. She lowered her eyes and said bluntly, "It was all forced by you, and I can't admit anything just because of that." It's like if a girl is raped, does she have to marry a rapist? ”

"Compare me to a rapist." Cheng Yijie frowned lightly, "What, being my girlfriend, making you so aggrieved and reluctant?" ”

"I don't like to be forced, and I don't want to be your girlfriend for no reason." Mu Qingcheng said sullenly, a wave of confusion welled up in his heart, he was anxiously waiting for his explanation these days, and now he finally stood in front of her, and he could be regarded as giving her an explanation in person. However, she suddenly had a certain feeling of avoidance. You don't know him well enough, she says to herself, you have to keep your distance and don't become his captive easily.

Cheng Yijie lifted her chin. "You mean, unwilling to admit our relationship?"

Mu Qingcheng was forced to meet his gaze. She didn't say anything, just rolled her eyes slightly, and looked at him hesitantly.

"Answer my question." Cheng Yijie's tone was still "forced".

"I-I-" Mu Qingcheng stammered, slurring, "I mean, we've known each other for too short, and we still need time to understand and test...... I ......"

"How much time does it take?" Cheng Yijie asked.

"I ...... I do not know. She replied in a low voice.

He stared at her deadly, his twinkling eyes not turning.

"Good!" He finally said, "If it takes time to understand the trial, we have time, and I have enough patience!" But—" he squeezed her chin, "now everyone knows you're my girlfriend, and if you get too close to other men, you're ruining your own reputation." Especially that little white face, stay away from him, don't draw any more avatars for him! ”

Mu Qingcheng's eyes widened, Xia Mo, the long-tongued woman, reported everything to Cheng Yijie. She took a deep breath. "What the hell do you want?"

Cheng Yijie stared at her. "It's very simple, I want you to be my girlfriend, my future wife."

"Why me?" Mu Qingcheng asked boldly and frankly, "There are many women with better conditions than me, and there are many people who are willing to take the initiative to give them a hug, you can choose as much as you like." ”

"You're right, but none of them can pique my interest." The corners of Cheng Yijie's mouth curved into a charming arc, "Little orange, you are the only exception." I believe fate, you can't hide from it. ”

Mu Qingcheng was stunned, she didn't expect that it would become the only exception in his mouth. He has never been interested in any other woman? That is, he hasn't had a girlfriend before? "As I said, my attempt is to rob the sex. This is the first time I've ever tried to do this to a woman," she remembered, and the shameful intimacy of them that night on the moonlit balcony......

"Little orange!" He shouted.

"Huh?" She looked up, as if she had woken up from a big dream.

"What are you thinking?" He asked.

Her face flushed and she bit her lip involuntarily. "I didn't ...... Didn't think about anything. ”

The curvature of the corners of his mouth widened. "Let's go, let's go to dinner together, and we'll have a good talk."

The two walked out of the calligraphy and painting restoration room, and Mu Qingcheng closed the door.

The museum had long since closed for work, and there was silence all around, except for the footsteps of two people echoing in the empty corridors.

"What do you want to eat?" After getting in the car, Cheng Yijie asked.

"There's a nice café, I wonder if you're interested?" Mu Qingcheng wanted to go to the "spend time" specialty café, and after going with Gu Hengyu last time, she fell in love with the environment there. Since Cheng Yijie is willing to give her time, she also hopes to have more common topics with him and increase the distance between them. Of course, this distance is mental, not physical.

"As long as you're interested, I'm sure I have too." After Cheng Yijie asked for the address, he sped up the speed of the car and sped away in the direction where the café was located. Just like when Hengyu came to the previous year, he also found a parking space in the community where Gu Hengyu's cousin lived, and then walked with Mu Qingcheng to the "Spend Time" café next to him.

There are many guests in the café, Cheng Yijie and Mu Qingcheng found a relatively quiet seat to sit down, the clumsy wooden tables and chairs, the seats are facing two large glass windows that have fallen to the ground, Mu Qingcheng looks out of the window, there are few pedestrians and vehicles at night, and the dim street lamps pass through the shadows of the trees and are projected on the ground, and the shadows are sufficient. Compared to the daytime, it is a different kind of peaceful scenery.

Cheng Yijie stared at Mu Qingcheng, a little dizzy. Her unpowdered face was delicate and calm, and a faint purple wrapped around her, which looked particularly quiet, and he intuitively felt an intoxicating fragrance emanating from her. And the silent eyes seemed to be making a wordless confession.

He was thinking about what topic to find, but Mu Qingcheng was alarmed by the ringtone of her mobile phone. She glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button with a frown.

"Sister, what are you doing? It's been months since we've been home, and we miss you so much. "Yin and Yang weird voice, except for her brother Mu Guangzong, who is not a loser, who else can be. She suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, this younger brother usually ignores his sister, and will take the initiative to call her, which must be no good.

"Tell me something." She responded very directly.

Mu Guangzong laughed twice, and really went straight to the point: "Sister, I owe a gambling debt, and I really don't have money to pay it back, so I can only ask you for help." ”

"Gambling debts?" Mu Qingcheng was taken aback, "You actually went to gamble, that thing can't be ......"

"Don't be wordy!" Mu Guangzong interrupted her impatiently, "What you should care about is how much money I owe. ”

"How much do you owe?" Mu Qingcheng felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"200,000." With such a large amount, Mu Guangzong actually said in a relaxed tone, "Sister, I know you will definitely be able to help me pay it back." ”

"How is that possible!" Mu Qingcheng exclaimed, "I took home all the money I could save every month, and I didn't have any savings at all, where can I get you 200,000!" ”

"Less, sister." Mu Guangzong sneered, "Everyone knows that you have caught a golden beetle son-in-law, and the newspapers and the Internet are full of your news." You yourself enjoy the wealth, but you don't dare to say a word to us, aren't you afraid that we will ask you for money? Your man is so rich, 200,000 yuan is nothing to him, don't pick it out like this, you will be laughed to death if you say it. ”

Mu Qingcheng was so angry that he was about to have a seizure, and suddenly realized that there was Cheng Yijie sitting opposite, and he must have heard what he said just now. I wonder how he would feel if he knew that her brother was thinking about his money. Such an ugly thing, she has no face to let him know.

She got up embarrassed and wanted to change places to speak, but Cheng Yijie put his hand on her shoulder. "I'll order food, you wait here." He whispered and quickly walked away.

Mu Qingcheng sat down again and patiently explained: "The news was all written by reporters, and there was nothing like that. ”

"People have made it public on TV, and my parents and I have seen the video, do you still want to deny it?" Mu Guangzong was very impatient, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not interested in listening to it, hurry up and send the money home." If you can't pay the money, people will come to your door, and your parents will suffer. ”
