Chapter 5: The Return

The days pass plainly, the neon lights of the city are turned on and out, the lights of the office buildings are day and night, the white-collar workers who work overtime until late at night hurriedly walk under the night lights, with exquisite makeup can not hide the tiredness, and the eaves of a family with light yellow lights are a long story of a family.

This is the fireworks in the world, Mu Yao occasionally stopped, standing in the crowd to look at these lights, it seems that the people who come and go, only feel that they are as small as ants, insignificant, but also carry a weight forward, since it is also by selling labor in exchange for survival, then the wonderful beauty of this world has her part.

And love is such a heroic fantasy in a tired life.

Prosperous and flashy, many people ask for nothing more than a person's embrace, even this, it is still extravagant, it is a fantasy. The party ended, and after saying goodbye, I had to walk home alone.

Mu Yao put his hand in his pocket, the evening breeze faded away and became cool and bone-chilling, it turned out that it was the early autumn season again.

She came home exhausted, and just as she had changed her shoes and was about to go straight to the bedroom, she heard a noise in the living room.

She thought of countless possibilities, and the 80 coping strategies for a single woman living alone in distress that she usually silently wrote down in her online posts swept through her mind.

However, it swept too fast and did not catch a single one.

"That ......" Mu Yao subconsciously spoke.

"There's a light at hand." A slightly hoarse bass came.

Hearing this voice, Mu Yao's heart moved, and the first thought after reacting was, how could this thief be more familiar with her own home than her?

She turned on the light and saw the man.

He sat on the sofa, just woke up, but his back was straight, his elbows were propped up on his knees, and his bangs hung down to cover his eyes, but his eyes were as clear as a clear spring when he turned his head to look at her.

Seeing that slender and handsome person, Mu Yao's heart was like a hammer, this is her husband who has been separated for a year.

If she hadn't seen him at this time, she would have almost forgotten that she was already a married woman.

I never thought that the scene of meeting again would be so sudden.

She bit her lip, brushed her hair and clothes on her body, walked over, stood in front of him, and said softly: "Brother Lin Jue, you are back." ”

Gu Linjue looked up at her, after a day's work and rushing, her hair was loose, a strand of hair hung down to her neck, the end was hidden in the collar of her shirt, the light makeup on her face had almost faded, other than that, she was still clean and gentle.

Gu Linjue thought to himself: This is his wife.

Seeing that he was just staring at her and didn't speak, Mu Yao was a little embarrassed, so he didn't have anything to say: "Why don't you go to the house to sleep?" ”

Gu Linjue replied: "I originally wanted to wait for you to come back. ”

Mu Yao looked at his watch, it was already half past eleven.

She explained: "Well, there was a dinner in the company, so I came back late, and I don't usually ...... like this."

She was nervous as if she was reviewing her parents.

Seeing that he was still bowing his head and pinching the corners of his forehead, and he didn't seem to mean to ask, Mu Yao bent down and asked closer, "Then, have you eaten?" ”

Gu Linjue glanced at her, and the light softened the lines on his face, making his usual coldness also dyed with gentle warmth: "Not yet, do you know how to cook?" ”

Mu Yao blushed and said, "Of course I learned." ”

Gu Linjue smiled deeply, making her sound a little sexy and soul-stirring, Mu Yao's face turned red, and she lowered her head and ran to the kitchen.

When she was a teenager, her parents didn't take care of her, and once Gu Linjue stayed here to eat, and when she opened the refrigerator, she saw a dazzling array of instant noodles and biscuits.

Gu Linjue raised her eyebrows, and smiled like she did now, her fingers smoothly drew a circle on various instant noodles, and asked her, "Mu Yao, which one is delicious?" ”

Mu Yao stepped forward and pointed to him: "Braised beef." ”

Gu Linjue couldn't help laughing, raised her hand and touched her hair: "What a good girl." ”

is so well-behaved, even his teasing has questions and answers.

He took her to the supermarket to buy ingredients and cooked her a meal with his own hands, and that was the first time he went into the kitchen.

Before and after, Gu Linjue had never cooked for others.

And Mu Yao at that time, with shoulder-length hair, changed his previous fear and alienation from him, and followed him like a little tail.

The memories of the past flashed by, Gu Linjue sat on the high chair in the dining room, holding her head to see her busy in the kitchen, and she didn't need to look at her to know that she was sure to have a sad face now.

She is not good at cooking, and Mu Yao's character is that she doesn't like to do things that don't give her a sense of accomplishment.

So what she is good at is often done well, but her weaknesses are also becoming more and more obvious because of her refusal to improve.

But this time it was she who picked up the burden herself, and she had to hold on even if she gritted her teeth.

Looking at the ingredients in the refrigerator, Mu Yao deeply experienced the pain of "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice".

She doesn't cook much at home on weekdays, and only has a handful of vegetables and three eggs at home.

But Mu Yao was still glad in her heart, fortunately she had just wiped out all the instant noodles yesterday, otherwise if Gu Linjue saw it, it would probably teach her a lesson again.

Mu Yao worriedly brought over the ordinary clear soup noodles, and after watching Gu Linjue finish eating, he seemed to be quite satisfied, and took the initiative to wash the dishes.

When he was washing the dishes, Mu Yao stood at the door of the bedroom and bit his fingers.

What to do? You must not let Gu Linjue sleep in the guest room, it would be too hypocritical if she moved to the guest room by herself, but ......

She gritted her teeth, isn't it just to add a quilt to the master bedroom, what's so scary!

Gu Linjue leaned on the sofa and watched her go from being entangled to making up her mind, quietly lowering her eyelashes and wiping her hands.

When Mu Yao was making the bed, he saw Gu Linjue dangling in with a glass.

"Brother Lin Jue," she said in a steady voice, pretending to be calm, "you go take a bath first." ”

Gu Linjue said: "Yaoyao, let's sit down and talk, since I came back, we haven't sat down to talk properly." ”

Finally, this time came.

Mu Yao's subordinates made a move, and finally made up their minds, threw down the quilt and turned around and asked, "Brother Lin Jue, do you regret it?" ”

Gu Linjue raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"I know we got married in a hurry, if you have any ideas, you can tell me directly, I, I ......"

Feeling his gaze, Mu Yao's scalp was numb, and he couldn't say any more.

Gu Linjue approached her step by step and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think, what do I think?" ”

Mu Yao bit his lip.

He approached and continued to ask, "What are you going to do if I really think what you think?" ”

Mu Yao took a step back, tripped over the edge of the bed, and sat down on the bed.

She looked up at Gu Lin Jue, and noticed a trace of coldness and anger in his dark black eyes, so she was so frightened that she quickly turned her face away.

"Yao Yao......" He called in such a low voice, and his emotions turned a thousand times, which made Mu Yao a little confused about his true thoughts for a while, she thought that he still had something to say, who knew that coldly, Gu Linjue put the glass in his hand on her face.

There was ice water in the glass, and it was so cold that Mu Yao suddenly opened his mouth and let out a low breath.

In the face of his questioning, Mu Yao was already flustered and confused, and only raised his eyes to look at him at the moment, and turned his head away with a look of grievance.

Gu Linjue said: "Yaoyao, before guessing my thoughts, should you first tell your thoughts?" ”

She had no room to retreat, her fingers nervously curled the corners of her clothes, and she looked up hesitantly and asked: "Brother Lin Jue, are you forced to marry me for some reason, but you don't like me, so you hid abroad, and then after thinking about it for a year, you finally figured it out, so now come to have a showdown with me?" ”

Gu Linjue lowered his head and took a sip of ice water.

He didn't speak, he just thought.

Qi Cang's words were still in his ears, the situation was unclear, and he had to take it seriously.

Mu Yao waited anxiously, as if waiting for a verdict, she remembered that her suitcase was in the guest room, but after living for a year, there were a lot of things left here, and there must be some things that she couldn't take away......

She wanted to say: You don't have to care about my feelings, I can do whatever you want, but when these words come to her mouth, she can't say anything.

She has always been a sensible person, but this time she would rather be an uninteresting woman.

Gu Linjue suddenly spoke, his tone was as cold as the ice water he had just drunk: "Yaoyao, I'm not a person who treats marriage as a child's play. It is true that our marriage was hasty, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work, and I won't give up easily, you don't have to doubt that. ”

Mu Yao looked at him suspiciously.

"If you change your mind and want a divorce, I won't agree. Of course, as for the same room, if you don't adapt, I won't force you now. After Gu Linjue finished saying this, he stuffed the cup in his hand to her, turned around and went to the bed to take away a quilt, leaving her to sleep in the guest room by herself.

But Mu Yao was stunned for a long time, and then he thought with a smile: I was originally here to ask him, how could he let him say it, but she wanted to regret it? Moreover, why do you think he is still a little sad when he leaves?

But what he means is that they won't get divorced?

Looking at the half-empty bed, she suddenly felt empty in her heart.

It's really strange, she has lived alone in this house for a year, and this bed is also facing the empty other half alone, but on this night, when she realized that she finally lived under the same roof with Gu Linjue, there was one more person, and she felt that something was wrong here.

When he got up early in the morning, Mu Yao didn't see Gu Linjue's figure, thinking that he should have gone to work early, there was a note lying quietly on the table, and there was breakfast prepared for her.

Mu Yao trotted over a few steps and picked up the note to see that Gu Linjue's handwriting was still thin and sharp that she was familiar with, unlike the common doctor's unique ligature.

"I went to the hospital to report today, went to the supermarket to buy together in the evening, and ate on time."

Attached to it is a shopping list that he has put together.

She took the paper, and her hand went up and touched it again, as if she could feel the temperature left on the paper as he wrote.

After reacting to his almost nymphomaniac behavior, Mu Yao held his face and smiled.
