When Mu Yao was 12 years old, he was picked up by his parents from his grandparents and went to live in this brand new city.

She finally walked out of the mountains and came to her parents.

The city was too big, and with joy and apprehension, she followed her parents to the urban village and found a yard that she rented with others.

Although the place is small, the courtyard is full of red roses, and the vibrant appearance is a sight to behold in this chaotic world.

Mu Yao carried his canvas bag and followed his mother to the inner room, saw her pointing to a hut, and said, "Mu Yao, this is your house." Mu Yao looked at the house, although it was not big, but their family of three was squeezed, it was still a very warm cabin.

Mom pulled her over again and whispered: "There are still four families living in this courtyard, the largest two are the Shao family and the Gu family, and the south is the Zhou family, people are very good, you are sensible, let those aunts like you, and in the future, when your parents are busy, they will not take care of you, and someone will help take care of you." ”

Mu Yao looked at it, pointed to a room on the east side and asked, "Isn't there anyone living in that room?" ”

Mother Mu's face changed slightly, and she said, "There is a young man who lives, but you don't have much to do with him." ”

Mu Yao looked at his mother's cold face and immediately closed his mouth.

Father Mu came back, saw Mu Yao, and said briefly: "It's here." ”

Mu Yao nodded, Father Mu looked at the luggage she was carrying, and whispered to Mother Mu: "Just bring such things?" ”

Mu's mother said: "How many things can she take as a child?" Now that there is a shortage of oil and rice, I have added another mouth, so that you can go back and you don't go......"

The two of them thought about themselves, but they didn't notice Mu Yao's drooping eyes and red eartips.

They may think that a child is a child, and they really don't know anything if they seem to be ignorant, but they don't know that a 12-year-old child has already understood a lot, at least for Mu Yao, her biological parents' arrival of herself doesn't seem to be as touching as in the TV series, except for worry, she doesn't think they have any joy.

She actually wanted to defend herself, but in fact, she didn't eat much, and she usually spent money very sparingly, so that they wouldn't think that she had added a lot of burden to them.

But in the eyes of her parents, she is a child, and she has no chance to speak, and she has no qualifications to defend herself.

Mu's father was working on the construction site, and he had just used the money he had saved to become a foreman, and Mu's mother followed him, busy with various affairs on the construction site, and had little time to go home.

But the kind-hearted neighbors all took advantage of the summer vacation to go out to play, Mu Yao had never seen anyone, this city was so big, but she didn't know anyone except her parents, and she didn't dare to go anywhere except for this small courtyard.

In the past, Mu Yao was the smartest and most sensible child in the village, but in the house of her strange parents, she felt that she was worthless, she was as ignorant as a newborn, and she was full of fear here.

She could only water the flowers, tidy up her hut, and want to move the flaming red rose to her bare windowsill to decorate, but she didn't dare to do anything, so she could only talk to the flowers every day.

She has been in this courtyard for five days, and Mu Yao has not gone out, until the ingredients in the refrigerator put by her parents have eaten cleanly, and she has the courage to go out by herself for the first time.

The urban village was dilapidated and crowded, and all kinds of trails were interspersed with circuitous, and Mu Yao didn't walk long before he was dizzy.

It was the first time she knew what it was like to be lonely and desolate, standing alone on the dusty side of the road, watching the sun sink into the west, watching the street lamps above her head turn on, and the cold gray and white light shining on her.

Mu Yao didn't know if it was because of fear or cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Until a cold and laughing voice sounded, she looked up and saw Gu Linjue, the gray world seemed to be illuminated by a beam of light.

She always thought that Gu Linjue was the little brother next door who lived next to her, they had always been close at hand, plus Shao Chen, Liang Se and Zhou Chengsi, the five of them were an inseparable combination, she watched when they played basketball, and they could chat without scruples when they lay on the grass and looked up at the blue sky, they went to school together, went home together, traveled together, and fought together, Gu Linjue would always be by her side and wait for her to grow up.

But there are some things that even Xu Qianyu has seen, and she is still blindly immersed in her wishful thinking, so that she ignores Gu Linjue's sometimes abnormality.

Once Mu Yao just left the school gate, he saw a man in a suit and leather shoes standing next to Gu Linjue and saying something, Gu Linjue's figure was tall enough, but the man still lowered his head and talked to him with a humble attitude, and Gu Linjue had a cold breath that no one could enter, almost freezing the air around a few meters.

She didn't know the man, she just thought that the man was well-dressed, and he really didn't look like a person to be seen in this urban village.

Gu Linjue turned his head with a cold face, and happened to see Mu Yao not far away.

"Wait for me, let's go back together."

His coldness had not faded, and there was a smell of ice ballast in his voice.

Mu Yao could only wait for him obediently.

Gu Linjue quickly shook off the man and walked over and pulled Mu Yao home.

Mu Yao followed him, sensing that he was in a bad mood, so he closed his mouth and pulled him without saying a word.

Walking to the mouth of the alley, Gu Linjue suddenly slowed down and asked, "Yaoyao, are you happy after coming here?" ”

Mu Yao nodded.

"Why?"

The language barrier and the fact that my parents are always absent are still happy?

"Because of you...... I'm happy to be with you. He was too tall, Mu Yao had to look up at him, she didn't know how long it would take to shorten the distance, she desperately wanted to grow taller.

If Mu Yao was a few years older, maybe Gu Linjue would have seen through her little thoughts as a girl, but she was still a child in his eyes, and he never thought that this child would have any thoughts about him, and fortunately, otherwise, he would use his indifference to let that heart wither prematurely like other girls who love him.

But Gu Linjue still didn't say goodbye, he didn't explain anything to Mu Yao, just like when he suddenly broke into her life, he suddenly withdrew.

It wasn't until she went to the Lin family that she knew what the so-called wealthy family was, and looking at this Lin Jue brother who she had always cherished in her heart, she suddenly felt completely unfamiliar.

Gu Linjue, who was personable, talked well, and dealt with all kinds of characters at the banquet with ease, and the young man who was clear and cold were like two people.

Mu Yao suddenly felt like a chasm between him and him, his road ahead was full of flowers and radiance, and behind him he dragged the dirt that struggled out of the mud and couldn't be washed.

When Gu Linjue returned home, he saw that she was sitting in a daze in the living room with a pillow, he walked over and asked, "Are you tired from work today?" ”

Mu Yao looked at him and said, "Brother Lin Jue, why did you suddenly leave at that time?" ”

Gu Linjue suddenly fell silent.

Mu Yao pulled his sleeve and asked, "Haven't you always refused to return to the Lin family?" Why did you suddenly decide to go back? ”

Gu Linjue said: "My grandfather is old and wants my mother to come home. ”

In order to be with Gu Moshan, Lin Yin resolutely ran away from home and married this poor teacher despite his father's opposition.

Old man Lin got old and began to miss his daughter again, and always wanted Lin Yin to go back, but by mistake, Gu Moshan suddenly had a car accident, Lin Yin was discouraged, and took Gu Linjue to hide in the urban village, and the two would rather live a hard life than accept any help from the Lin family.

Zhou Chengsi once said to Mu Yao: "Aunt Lin doesn't know why, she seems to hate that mother's family very much, and she doesn't hate it accurately enough, so she should hate it a little bit......"

Thinking that Lin Yin is now in the Lin family, it can be regarded as pampered, Mu Yao can't figure out what kind of entanglement there is.

She could only stare at Gu Linjue's eyes tightly and said, "Brother Lin Jue, you promised me that you would never lie to me." ”

Gu Linjue looked at her and replied, "I won't lie to you." ”

But that doesn't mean he's telling all the truth.

He paused, and then added: "Yaoyao, no matter what, the Lin family will be a good platform." ”

Love does not feed the belly, ideals do not bring achievement, and the adult world allows only limited naivety.

Mu Yao knew that even in reality, the choice Gu Linjue made was correct.

If he continues to stay in the urban village, even if it is a piece of jade, he will eventually be buried in the endless dust and hustle and bustle there.

She nodded, believing his explanation, so she got up to give him a hot meal, but she didn't notice that Gu Linjue breathed a sigh of relief gently.

Mu Yao warmed up the meal and asked again, "Then why didn't you tell me any news when you left?" ”

He didn't say goodbye, not knowing how much regret and hurt he had given her.

Gu Linjue was silent.

Mu Yao waited for a long time before he said, "Why didn't you tell you?" I forgot, I can't remember after thinking about it for a long time, I really didn't tell you? ”

"Of course there is, how can you forget?" She walked over indignantly and said angrily: "You have such a bad memory, how did you study for a doctorate?" How dare you go to the hospital to be a doctor? ”

Gu Linjue smiled lightly, the coldness between Qingjun's eyebrows softened a little, he grabbed her hand and said, "Don't you know? It is said that doctors are nerds, and the higher the education, the worse the memory, and you need to remember too much. ”

Mu Yao pushed him: "Hurry up and go to dinner." ”

When Gu Linjue was eating, Mu Yao received a call from Xu Qianyu, and as soon as he connected, he heard Qianyu say over there: "Yaoyao, I met an acquaintance today, I guess you must know him." ”

It was rare for Qianyu to sell Guan Zi like this, and Mu Yao also asked with interest: "Who?" ”

"Lin Jing, is it familiar?"

Mu Yao glanced up at Gu Linjue, who was immersed in eating, and asked in a low voice, "...... Do you know him? ”

Qian Yu said: "Not only do I know, he used to be my rich material library. ”

Mu Yao didn't quite understand.

"You forget, I was born in the gossip tabloids."

Mu Yao burst out laughing.

This is really a narrow road.

"How did you meet?"

"Uh...... I'll tell you when I get back. ”

The phone hung up with a "click", and Gu Linjue raised his head: "Whose phone is so happy?" ”

Mu Yao smiled mysteriously and refused to tell him.
