Mood (1)
"I ...... in the museum. She replied.
"You wait there, I'll look for you." Cheng Yijie had already guessed that Mu Qingcheng would take the initiative to find him because of Li Xiaole's murder.
Mu Qingcheng replied with a low "yes" and hung up the phone.
"I was going to treat you to dinner, but now it seems that you won't be able to appreciate your face." Chen Yufei said in a muffled voice.
Cheng Yijie smiled apologetically. "Another day, my girlfriend is looking for me, of course I can't help but go."
"Yijie!" Chen Yufei changed to a solemn tone, since the last time Cheng Yijie offered to help her boyfriend as an elder brother, she no longer called him "Brother Yijie".
Cheng Yijie raised his eyes to look at her, waiting for her to continue.
"You've decided to give up the entire forest for her?" Chen Yufei's tone was resentful, "Finally can't stand the pressure at home? Still is...... Are you in love with her? ”
"Marriage is a mess." Cheng Yijie only replied with four short words.
"Since it's a messenger, why did you only choose her?" Chen Yufei became excited, "The women around you are much better than her, why don't you find someone else to do business?" ”
"She's the best fit." Cheng Yijie said casually, "Since I want to pay for my family, I will naturally have a comprehensive consideration." ”
"Really?" Chen Yufei sneered, "I don't think she may be serious about you, I ran into her when I went to watch "Impression of West Lake" last night." My brother finally bought two tickets, and I called you to make an appointment, but you said that you would go with her when you were free. As a result, when my brother and I met her, she was with another man. That man looks like a rich and handsome man, and his temperament, conversation, and cultivation are very good, and the conditions should not be much worse than yours. ”
Cheng Yijie had already guessed that she was talking about Gu Hengyu. "That person, I know, is her colleague." He acted like he didn't care, "Watching a show with a colleague, it's not a big deal." ”
Chen Yufei's face was very ugly. "I'm thinking about you, I'm worried that you're planted in the hands of that woman."
Cheng Yijie was like hearing a joke. "If I had been planted in the hands of a woman, would I still be standing in front of you?"
Chen Yufei wanted to say something, but he stopped him. "Yufei, I have always treated you as my own sister, no matter whether you call me 'brother' or not, my feelings for you will not change. I also sincerely hope that you can find a good home. ”
Chen Yufei smiled bitterly. "Don't talk about it, it's sad to talk too much. Let's go, don't keep your girlfriend waiting. ”
After Mu Qingcheng and Cheng Yijie talked on the phone, they sat in the calligraphy and painting restoration room, thinking about Li Xiaole's tragic death and thinking about many things that had happened.
The wind rose at dusk, and when the sky was dark, it began to rain. Her eyes were vaguely projected on the raindrops on the window, and the room was so quiet, so quiet that it made people panic, so quiet that it was suffocating.
Until Cheng Yijie's call shocked her back to her senses. "I'm at the entrance of the museum, come out." It was a very plain sentence, but her heart beat faster without arguing, packed up as fast as she could, and trotted out all the way.
Cheng Yijie leaned on the pillar at the entrance of the museum, the sky was already dark, and the rain, fog and light were intertwined behind him into a hazy net, he seemed to have come out of this net, and each hand was holding a bundle of rain.
"I have something I want you to help me with." Mu Qingcheng greeted the light, and the arc of his face was soft and delicate.
Cheng Yijie's gaze was fixed on her face. "I know, it's for Li Xiaole's business, she is your cousin's good friend."
Hearing him say this, Mu Qingcheng knew that he learned about it from Chen Yufei, which showed that he had been involved in this case. "Can you tell me how Li Xiaole was killed?"
"Let's go eat first." Cheng Yijie smiled at her, "It's so late, aren't you hungry?" ”
Mu Qingcheng was indeed hungry. "Where to eat?"
"Go home and eat." Cheng Yijie's tone and words were so intimate that Mu Qingcheng's heart trembled, "Cheng Lang showed off his cooking skills tonight and prepared a sumptuous dinner for us. ”
She pursed her lips. "Well, it's hard to say no."
Cheng Yijie opened the umbrella in his hand, and it was raining on the way back, but fortunately, he had an umbrella fixed on his car, which could come in handy. He naturally grabbed Mu Qingcheng's waist and walked into the rain.
It was only a short distance to the place where the car was parked, and the autumn rain was cold, but Mu Qingcheng felt an unusually warm feeling, seeping into her skin from his palm through the fabric. The umbrella led the soft wind, and she under the umbrella was also surrounded by a layer of soft feeling, like a warm ocean wave, gently hugging and stirring her. She was so greedy for the short time she spent strolling in the rain with him, and when she got into the car, she was stunned.
Mu Qingcheng thought that Cheng Lang would dine with them, but when he got home, Cheng Lang was not there at all.
"He's on a date." Cheng Yijie saw her doubts, "I asked him to make dinner for us before leaving." ”
Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but smile. "You're using your brother as a babysitter."
"I'm here to remind him all the time that he can't be a parasite." Cheng Yijie thinks he is very reasonable.
Mu Qingcheng thought of his parasite brother, and his good mood immediately became dim.
"Eating good food makes you feel better." Cheng Yijie put his hand on her shoulder comfortingly, "Cheng Lang, in addition to photography, is good at cooking." After eating his cooking, you will definitely be in a good mood. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet. ”
"Bet on what?" Mu Qingcheng was a little curious.
"If you lose, stay with me at night." Cheng Yijie frowned when he saw Mu Qingcheng, but he became more and more arrogant, "If I lose, you stay, and I will accompany you." ”
Mu Qingcheng wanted to look angry, but he couldn't help laughing. "Your brazenness is truly invincible."
Cheng Yijie had a charming smile on his face. "It seems that you don't need food to make you feel good."
Suddenly, he reached out and took her hand. She shook her body involuntarily, can this hand transmit electricity?
He held her tightly and led her to the dining room.
There were several dishes on the table, all steaming. Braised prawns, oyster mushrooms with oyster sauce, sweet and sour crispy tofu, steamed golden pomfret, preserved claypot rice, and duck soup with cordyceps flowers are all as good as the chef's masterpieces.
"I told Cheng Lang that if he can't be a good photographer in the future, he can change careers and open restaurants, and the business will definitely be good." Cheng Yijie fully affirmed Cheng Lang's cooking skills.
"Well," Mu Qingcheng agreed, "Youran is very happy, I look at them, they look very hot." ”
"Are we hot?" Cheng Yijie asked ambiguously.
Mu Qingcheng lowered his eyelids and kept silent. An expression of shame and resentment rose to the corners of her mouth. It's so annoying, no matter what he says, he can get a chance to take advantage!
"I know, you want to know about Li Xiaole's murder." Cheng Yijie looked at her with a smile for a while, then turned to the topic, "But the police have confidentiality requirements, and I can't disclose the details." The only thing I can tell you is that Li Xiaole's death may have been retaliated against for doing something contrary to the right path. ”
"Revenge?" Mu Qingcheng was surprised, "You mean, the murderer is for revenge?" ”
"Quite possibly." Cheng Yijie said, "You can ask your cousin if Li Xiaole has a feud with anyone." ”
Mu Qingcheng immediately called Yang Xirou, but Yang Xirou said that Li Xiaole has a very good personality and is very upright, everyone likes her, and it is really hard to believe that she will have any enemies.
"Li Xiaole also went to the gate of your community that day, she went shopping with her cousin, and when she passed by, she happened to meet the pregnant woman who was chased and killed." Mu Qingcheng lowered his head and was sad, "They witnessed such a tragedy with their own eyes, and their psychology was greatly impacted. Unexpectedly, not long after, Li Xiaole also ......"
"I remember, the little white face sent you back to the dormitory that day, passing by here?" Cheng Yijie's voice sounded in her ears, "I heard that you also went to watch the performance of "Impression West Lake" together? ”
Mu Qingcheng raised her head, and Cheng Yijie came to her from the opposite side at some point. She came into contact with a pair of slightly teasing eyes, her heart was empty, but her mouth argued: "So what, he and I are colleagues and friends, normal exchanges, is there any problem?" ”
"No problem." Cheng Yijie's answer surprised Mu Qingcheng, but it made the uneasiness in her heart worsen.
"I ...... I saw you on TV. She decided to divert his attention, "Everyone else is hiding far away, only you rush forward, it's really amazing." ”
The smile on Cheng Yijie's lips was quite interesting. "Your set won't work for me."
"Which one am I?" Mu Qingcheng pretended to be confused.
Cheng Yijie was silent, stared at her, and spoke leisurely for a while: "After eating, leave the dishes and chopsticks for Cheng Lang to come back and clean up, let's go out." ”
"Where to go?" Mu Qingcheng was a little stunned, she thought that she would not be able to leave if she came.
"Go on a date. How can you get to know each other better if you don't date. Cheng Yijie leaned down, her lips almost close to her ears, "Dating at home lacks emotion, so I chose a particularly emotional place." We don't have to go to work tomorrow and Saturday and we can enjoy it. He finished speaking but did not get up, his warm breath still blowing in her ears.
Mu Qingcheng felt that the roots of her ears were crispy and numb, and the tingling sensation gradually spread, and her heartbeat was also out of rhythm, but on the surface, she pretended to be calm: "You are like this, it will seriously affect my eating." ”
Cheng Yijie chuckled and rubbed for a while before returning to sit down opposite Mu Qingcheng.
Mu Qingcheng was teased by him like this, and his appetite was gone, so he simply put down the dishes and chopsticks. "I'm full, I can go."
