Chapter 166: Companions and Family
Just now, Xue Mufeng showed the harmonious relationship between himself and his subordinates to the fullest, and even the way he spoke was the same as Mu Yunxi's, making it clear that he was sure that Youna would find her memories in this small city, and after the carriage arrived in Panhu City, he rushed to Shiyun Temple with Daoqing and Pei Qiu to discuss the relevant matters of the trial of the three sects, leaving Youna alone.
Looking at the address recorded on the paper, she remembered what Xue Mufeng had explained, and her teeth were slightly exposed.
First of all, she should think about how to help her companions, instead of meeting a few family members who have never met, Xue Mufeng and Mu Yunxi's behavior is simply difficult for strong people, and the fact that she actually has a family makes people feel incredible, the straight-line distance between Panhu City and Glaze Island is thousands of kilometers, according to Mu Yunxi, could it be that she crossed the ocean when she was a child?
Forced by Xian Cheng to meet with her sister, Mu Yunxi asked her and Lan Lingxiang to go into the city separately, in order to use the time to send the two cousins to the Yan family mansion in the hidden pavilion, so that she could get familiar with the city as soon as possible.
I don't know what happened to Lan Lingxiang, who was in the city earlier than her? There are so many clothes in the commercial street, and Lan Lingxiang is such a beauty-loving person, should you pick a few more? Hey! Maybe people are just like her worried about the trial of the three religions, so how can they have the leisure to dress themselves?
The female clerk of the store saw that she was procrastinating for a long time, so she personally selected clothes for her, and when she came back to her senses, a short skirt with a pink cloud pattern had been placed on the shelf, she took the skirt and compared it on the lower body for a while, feeling not very satisfied, and asked the female clerk to choose a few more.
Usually she prefers light-colored clothes, with a shoulder bag decorated with Liuying, which is a little mature, I am afraid that it is difficult to please the elders, the Gothic costumes are too gorgeous, the clothes of ordinary materials are too low-key, the healing outfits are easy to attract attention, and the off-the-shoulder outfits and suspender outfits are even more lovely.
After tossing and turning in the fitting room for a while, she finally picked a long-sleeved dress with white trim and sky blue pleats, and then chose three other different styles of clothes and went to the cash register to line up to pay.
Standing in the front row of the line is a pair of twin sisters dressed as beautiful girl idols, the two of them tied a side ponytail on the left and right, put the shopping bag in their hands on the table, and waited for the female clerk to scan it with a barcode reader one after another, the process took about ten minutes, until the waiting time was too long, resulting in a small complaint in the team, the two hurriedly paid the money, before leaving, the girl with a side ponytail on the left side of the head happened to meet the eyes of Youna, she thought for two seconds, pointed at Youna, and let out a shout of "Oh!"
"Shen Fangli, why are you here?"
This name has long made Yuna's ears tired of hearing it, and she thought, you don't understand it anyway, so just admit it.
"Old classmate, do you still know me?" the ponytail girl on the left pulled the ponytail girl on the right in front of her, "And my sister, you won't even forget her, right?"
Yuna scratched her head and was stunned for a moment.
"Please, I'm Duan Ruoxian, this is my sister Duan Ruoyin, we used to be roommates in the same dormitory! Have I really changed so much in the past few years? It seems that you need to use scare therapy to help you recall. With that, Duan Ruoxian stretched out his claws towards Yuna.
"If you don't get rid of your bad habits, you won't have a boyfriend. Seeing this, Duan Ruoyin immediately grabbed Duan Ruoxian's hands from behind, but was broken free by Duan Ruoxian in a few clicks, "I haven't seen her for many years, and my sister is just a little excited." ”
"I'm almost going to kill you, huh!" Yuna clasped her hands to her chest and smiled awkwardly, "By the way, why are you buying so many clothes? ”
"Of course, it is to participate in the audition of the 'Singer Project' to be held in the Hidden Pavilion next Monday, and Yan Wensha will personally serve as a judge to select future stars with idol potential. As he spoke, Duan Ruoyin's left hand and Duan Ruoyin's right hand spelled out a love heart, and said in unison, "Our slogan is: 'The natural strings that dance the heartbeat, and convey the joyful charm of the sound, love the string sound to support our string sisters more!'"
The gestures of the two suddenly stunned Yuna, she brushed her hair, and said with a smile: "Although the meaning is unknown, I still want to wish you good luck, after all, that famous composer is also a powerful person." ”
Duan Ruoxian pressed her forehead and shook her head, and Duan Ruoyin stepped forward and put her hand on Youna's shoulder: "Yan Wensha is also our classmate. ”
"Forget it, it's not too early, remember to come and see us next week. With that, Duan Ruoxian stuffed a note to Yuna and waved goodbye to Duan Ruoyin.
After paying the money, Yuna walked out of the store, took out the notebook in her satchel, sat on the chair outside the store, opened the note given to her by Duan Ruoxian with her left hand, opened the notebook with her right hand, bit open the pen cap, and wrote the detailed address of the "Singer Project" audition on the second line.
Halfway through writing, a sense of déjà vu immediately came to her mind, and she found the business card that Xian Cheng had given herself, and found that the content of the note was the same place, and there was no need to write it down.
It turned out that Xian Cheng's original intention was to ask her to participate in the "Singer Project", and she didn't explain it clearly before because she was afraid that she would refuse, but now in retrospect, even if she went, she wouldn't have much chance, first, I heard that Yan Wensha was an extremely arrogant and difficult woman, and second, she lacked enough confidence to participate in this large number of highly competitive auditions.
By contrast, according to the name of the first line, it is easy to draw an imaginary picture of the monk's family: the other person is a Belen beauty with long gray hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, unpretentious clothes, and a smile with shallow dimples on her face.
Another painting shows the beautiful woman's husband, tall with short hair covering his forehead, dressed in a suit and leather shoes worn by an office worker.
Other aspects can only rely on her associations, such as her family may be an adoptive sister, an adoptive sister, or an adoptive mother, and will never be close relatives, because Glaze Island has long been destroyed, and her real relatives are afraid that they are no longer there.
The blue eyes reflected the ball rolling to her feet, and the little boy running towards it.
Yuna bent down and handed the ball to the little boy's hand.
"Thank you, sister!" the little boy said with a smile as he took the ball.
"You're welcome, my sister wants to know how to get to 123 Belen Street?" Yuna pointed to the address in her notebook.
"Isn't this my house? Let's go, I'll take you. The boy waved his hand and told Yuna to follow him.
So, they crossed the shopping street to a residential area with a large number of old houses, and stopped in front of one of the two-storey bungalows.
I saw the little boy shouting "Mother", and the person who Yuna wanted to visit appeared, and after repeated comparisons, she found that she had guessed that it was indeed a young woman.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Mai Xiaomo?" Yuna saluted and asked tentatively.
"Well, are you?" the woman crumpled the tissue she had used to wipe her son's hands and looked up at Yuna, her eyes gradually turning from bland to shock.
Without waiting for Yuna to react, Mai Xiaomo actually rushed forward to hug her and cried: "Sister Fangli, you haven't heard from you all these years, I thought I would never see you again." ”
Youna was overwhelmed and couldn't think of comforting words, until Mai Xiaomo wiped the tears from her eyes, led her into the house, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Mai Xiaomo took out the fruit, poured it full of tea, and sent her son to the side to play, while she sat next to Youna.
"So...... Are you me?" Yu Na paused, feeling that it was a bit bad to ask like this, and hurriedly apologized to Mai Xiaomo, "The experience of five years ago caused me to lose my childhood memories and have no impression of many people and things. ”
"I'm your sister, this is your nephew" Mai Xiaomo touched her son's head and said, "In addition, you also have an adoptive father, that is, my father, Dr. Mai Xiang." ”
Talking about the past, Mai Xiaomo couldn't help but feel emotional, in the year of Youna's disappearance, she was introduced by a friend, she met a chef at the Snow Dove Restaurant, and the two fell in love at first sight, and soon got married and had children. Unfortunately, the early death of her father added to the burden on the family, and her husband had to work late every day to come home, while she had to take care of the children and the pharmacy business.
Although the couple made a lot of money, they spent more and did not improve their quality of life, but they continued to worry about it: for example, there were only a few people who came to buy medicine in recent days, they often quarreled with drug manufacturers over price, and there was also snowdrop grass planted in the hospital that was infected with yellow leaf disease.
When it comes to this medicinal material, Mai Xiaomo will recall the process of the discovery of the bone medicine at the beginning, if it weren't for Shen Fangli's accidental mistake when boiling the medicine, the pharmacy would have made 20 million less, not counting the part of the patent application. The smile on my father's portrait would not have been so gratifying.
Now it seems that although Shen Fangli is not biological, his father treats him as his own, and he can't leave Shen Fangli at home before, which is really a last resort.
After Youna's eyes were removed from the portrait, Mai Xiaomo took her to visit the room where Shen Fangli had lived before.
The wooden desk, wardrobe, retro-style dresser, and a pink quilt on the delicate single bed are indeed much better than the inns she lived in before, but she doesn't agree with this relationship in her heart, and everything seems extremely strange in her eyes.
The hot water in the shower flowed down her hair down the drain like a waterfall, and she held on to the wall motionlessly, trying to sober herself up.
She is Youna, not Shen Fangli. Maybe in the dream she can be Shen Fangli, in reality she will only be Youna, Mai Xiaomo is good to her but missees her as someone else, once she knows the truth, she won't think so, if you want to blame yourself for having the selfish idea of wanting to experience what it feels like to be in a family, she doesn't know if it's right?
The only thing that is certain is that Mai Xiaomo treats her sincerely, otherwise she would not have prepared a suitable change of clothes and a hearty dinner for her.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, she couldn't wait to taste the dishes made by Mai Xiaomo. At this time, a knock on the door indicates that Mai Xiaomo's husband has arrived home.
The man's appearance was somewhat similar to the imaginary picture drawn by Yuna, and as soon as she entered the door, she quickly introduced herself to her brother-in-law.
At the candlelit dinner table, the three of them talked happily, and when Mai Xiaomo hugged her son to her lap to feed, she asked about her husband's snow dove restaurant.
"Although business is good, this world is not peaceful, and it is inevitable that people will be worried, especially in recent days, the restaurant is mixed, and religious people from all major factions have gathered here, as if discussing the matter of the trial of the three religions......
Then Mai Xiaomo's husband talked about his own views on this matter, and the two talked until late at night, and Youna didn't want to disturb the two of them, and after dinner, they hurriedly went back to the room to rest.
As a result, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep for a long time, and his mind was full of what his brother-in-law had just talked about.
This time, she no longer hesitated, and she had already made a choice between her companions and her family.
