When Lin Jin sneaked into the restaurant in the middle of the night, he saw a man sitting on the bar slowly drinking ice water.

"Cousin?" She was surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

Gu Linjue turned his head and asked, "Why haven't you slept so late?" ”

"It's not the banquet tonight, with fruit snacks, it's good-looking, but it's clear that I don't plan to make people full, so I woke up hungry in the middle of the night, and I have to come out to find something to eat." Lin Jin complained as she opened the refrigerator door to find something to eat.

She sat opposite Gu Linjue with a biscuit and asked, "Cousin, why haven't you slept?" Look at your cold face, have you been kicked out by your wife? ”

Seeing Gu Linjue ignoring her, Lin Jin felt that she must have guessed correctly, so she became interested, leaned over and asked, "Cousin, is Mu Yao jealous because you went to see Sister Yu?" ”

Gu Linjue swallowed the ice water in his throat, and his mouth was also cold: "Lin Jin, I was busy today, I was going to let you go, but I didn't expect you to come to the door by yourself." ”

Lin Jin shrank back and said stiffly, "What are you looking for me for?" I didn't mess with you. ”

"Let me ask you, why didn't you take your cousin to the banquet hall today?" After he finished talking to Yu Mengze, he rushed to the banquet hall, but he didn't see Mu Yao, who was supposed to be one step ahead of him, and before he could catch Lin Jin and ask him clearly, Mu Yao appeared in a haunted manner.

Lin Jin said as a matter of course: "She said she didn't have to, I thought she didn't want me to lead the way, so she went by herself, what?" Don't we even have this bit of freedom? ”

Gu Linjue glanced at Lin Jin, saw that she was holding her head high, obviously very reasonable, and said, "Of course I understand my wife, if you really lead the way for her, she will not refuse your kindness." ”

Lin Jin said angrily: "Cousin, how many days have you just married her?" You just believe in her like that? You've never murdered me before, and now you're accusing me of her! ”

Gu Linjue said: "Lin Jin, who taught you the truth, I am your cousin, should I let you be arrogant and willful?" Don't you think you're not at fault at all? ”

"You don't need to teach me these truths!" Lin Jin slammed the biscuit in his hand: "I finally know what you want to tell me today, in your heart, only Mu Yao is not wrong in this world, you will only favor her!" ”

"Lin Jin." He said in a deep voice, "Are you going to wake everyone up?" Sit down. ”

Lin Jin glanced at his grandfather's room upstairs, and although he was still indignant, he still sat down.

She glanced at the snacks she had carefully selected, felt uninteresting, and tossed them aside.

Gu Linjue drank the water in the glass silently, Lin Jin's heart was angry, and he saw it in a blink of an eye, so he also went to take a cup, tried to drink a few sips, and felt that it was cold and light, and he really couldn't think of why his cousin liked it.

She sat back and looked at Gu Linjue, only to see him lowering his eyebrows and looking cold, Lin Jin hesitated for a while, and finally whispered angrily: "I made it difficult for her, but I didn't expect her to turn around and leave, and I was reprimanded by Lin Jing for a few words." ”

Gu Linjue asked, "Lin Jing?" ”

"Yes," Lin Jin lowered his eyes and said, "You are all facing her one by one, of course I am not convinced." Anyway, I'm your sister, for an outsider......"

"Lin Jin, she is my wife, if you still think I am your brother, she is not an outsider."

His tone was light, but unmistakable.

Lin Jin pursed her lips, there was nothing more to say, and after being silent for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, what did Sister Yu say to you today?" ”

Gu Linjue raised his eyes and asked instead of answering: "Don't you have to go to class tomorrow?" What time do you wake up? ”

Lin Jin was choked by these words, and his interest in inquiring about gossip disappeared at once, so he could only stick out his tongue, drop a bunch of snacks and go back to his room to sleep.

Gu Linjue remembered that Yu Mengze came to him today, he thought that she helped him find the clues of Liang Se, but he didn't expect that when he met, Yu Mengze was just asking him about the details of his marriage.

Her aggressive appearance also exhausted his patience, Gu Linjue just said: "Miss Yu, even if we are friends, I don't need to take out the marriage certificate for you to identify the authenticity of your marriage, right?" ”

Even if she was sad, Yu Mengze maintained her best demeanor and the most decent expression, she left in a hurry, and she didn't even have time to say hello to the old man.

Liang Se still has no news, Mu Yao saw Liang Se's mother and looked lost again, Shao Chen has always regarded Mu Yao as his own sister, why haven't he seen Mu Yao for ten years?

Gu Linjue took out his mobile phone and paused for a long time on a number before finally dialing the phone.

It should have been early in the morning, and a clear voice came: "Hey, Xiao Jue?" ”

Gu Linjue opened his mouth and said, "Ah Cheng, how did Liang Se disappear ten years ago?" ”

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time before he said: "I only know that it was Yao Yao who took Cersei, and then Cerse disappeared in Mu Township, if you want to know more, it's best to ask Aunt Liang." ”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Linjue rubbed the corners of his forehead, cleaned up the bar slightly, and then got up and went back to the room.

Gu Linjue walked over and saw Mu Yao sleeping groggily, still extremely unstable.

He reached out and took her cold hands that were placed outside the covers.

When leaving the Lin family the next day, Lin Yin held Mu Yao's hand and said, "Usually pay attention to your body, don't work too hard." ”

Mu Yao smiled and nodded in agreement.

But Lin Yin sighed again: "Yaoyao, why do you want to do this job?" I've heard that researchers are under a lot of pressure and always have to work overtime, but now that you have Xiao Jue, why do you have to work so hard yourself? ”

Mu Yao looked at Lin Yin and replied very sincerely: "Mom, I don't feel tired to be able to do this job, but I'm very happy." ”

Gu Linjue walked over and said to his mother: "Mom, you relax, we will manage it well." ”

Lin Yin nodded and watched them leave.

Mu Yao had just gotten off work when Qian Yu's call came in.

"Yaoyao, how is your married life?"

Mu Yao rubbed his shoulders while catching the subway, and replied a little tiredly: "Exhausted." ”

Qian Yu laughed: "How is it? Or is it wiser not to marry like me? ”

Mu Yao shook his head helplessly.

"I'm not as avant-garde as you, Qianyu, my dream at the beginning was to be able to marry and have children in peace, and when I am old, lie in a rocking chair and tell stories to my children and grandchildren, and look at the same gray-haired old man next to me, so I am very satisfied." Mu Yao said.

"It sounds really sad," Qian Yu sighed, "Then your dream is about to come true, you see, the next step is to have a child." ”

The person sitting next to him happened to look over, Mu Yao blushed, and hurriedly denied: "It's still early." ”

After chatting a few words, Qian Yu was about to continue working, Mu Yao hung up the phone, and heard the person next to him talking in a low voice in dialect.

The dialect sounds familiar, and even their Mandarin still has a local accent that has not been removed.

Mu Yao's heart moved, remembering that he had just come here and walked into the classroom on the first day.

She wrote down her name seriously according to the teacher's requirements, her words were taught by the old Xiucai in the village, naturally it would not be bad, and sure enough, she turned around and saw the appreciation in everyone's eyes, so she boldly introduced herself, who expected that as soon as she finished saying her name, the students in the whole classroom began to laugh.

The sensitivity and inferiority complex in his heart made Mu Yao immediately shut his mouth, secretly twisted his fingers, and looked at the teacher at a loss.

"Teacher, new classmates come and sit with me!" The girl sitting at the back of the classroom suddenly stood up and smiled at Mu Yao: "I will definitely care for my new classmates!" ”

"You? You take care of yourself first. As soon as the teacher's voice fell, he heard Mu Yao whisper: "Teacher, I am willing to sit with this classmate." ”

The teacher gave her a meaningful look, probably to tell her to take care, and waved her hand to let her go.

Mu Yao carried his schoolbag on his back and walked to the back of the classroom like an exiled courtier under the curious and sympathetic eyes of everyone.

In fact, Mu Yao thought very simply, she preferred to be with people who liked her, and that girl looked at her with frank and straightforward eyes, so she decided that she was not among the people who laughed at her just now.

"New classmate, my name is Xu Qianyu."

"Hello, my name is Mu Yao."

Qian Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Yaoyao?" ”

Mu Yao was stunned, and after a moment, he smiled and nodded: "Hmm." ”

"They just laughed at you, do you know why?" Qian Yu held her head with her hands and asked her.

Mu Yao shook his head.

"You speak with too strong an accent, especially the tail note, and they sound weird, so they laugh." "You have to remember that the first step to going anywhere and integrating into it is to learn the local language. ”

Mu Yao nodded very teachable and asked, "Can you teach me?" ”

Qian Yu thought for a while and said, "I can teach you as much as possible when we are together, and when we will learn it depends on your understanding." ”

Mu Yao went back and complained softly to the red roses raised by Gu Linjue in the courtyard: "uaonpaon." ”

"Where did the red rose make you hate? Why, who in the school is arrogant and unreasonable, and dares to bully you? ”

Mu Yao turned around in surprise, and saw that Gu Linjue had just come back with a schoolbag on one shoulder, and was standing at the door looking at her at the moment.

Mu Yao didn't expect him to understand, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's nothing." ”

Gu Linjue walked up to her and looked at the red rose: "It's not okay for you to complain to it, it can shake the leaves at most, and it can't even vent for you." ”

Mu Yao hesitated for a moment and raised his head: "Brother Lin Jue, can you teach me what to say here?" ”

Gu Linjue didn't answer, but asked, "Ah Cheng, Cersei, Shao Chen, I'm not much older than them, why do you only call me brother?" ”

Mu Yao replied very seriously: "Because I want you to teach me, I want to please you, so I call you brother." ”

didn't expect her to be so frank, Gu Linjue couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, but she still said: "If you want to learn to speak, you have to find Cersei, he usually talks a lot, and he is worried that he can't find a sparring partner." ”

Mu Yao thought about it, this is indeed the truth, Gu Linjue has the least words, how can she choose the most inappropriate one to teach.

Liang Se is really a good teacher, and the first thing he taught Mu Yao was "Ya!" ”

Zhou Chengsi and Gu Linjue watched the teaching process from the sidelines, and sighed when they heard it, only Shao Chen clapped his hands and applauded: "The teaching is good, what you want to say is authentic, the first step is to learn to scold the country." ”

Liang Se was praised extremely proudly, completely ignoring the white eyes of those two people and Mu Yao's blank face.

Mu Yao looked out the window of the subway and swept through a deserted urban area, and the past became clearer and clearer.
