Chapter 171: Li Mu's Mind
When Mu Xiaoya came home, she wanted to quickly hide in her room to avoid being caught by Lao Mu again, but what she didn't expect was that Li Mu was actually at her house, and she was talking and laughing with Lao Mu in the hall.
"Huh! Xiaoya, you come back, it just so happens that Xiao Li has just arrived, you see how kind people are and know how to bring me bird's nest, you, who are a daughter, have never bought me such a thing. Mu Juecheng saw Mu Xiaoya coming back, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to beckon the other party to come over, Mu Xiaoya had no choice but to roll her eyes and walk over resignedly, and then listen to Lao Mu's count.
"Didn't I just buy these things for you a while ago? At that time, you also said that this kind of bird's nest is not delicious, and told me not to buy it in the future, and I was so filial at that time that I didn't see you praise me. Mu Xiaoya retorted unconvinced, but she was telling the truth, she did buy bird's nest for Lao Mu before, but she was scolded instead, this was changed to someone to give him bird's nest, and the reaction was a 180-degree change, which was too unfair.
"You dead girl, you..."
Mu Juecheng was so angry by his daughter's words that he couldn't speak, Li Mu played the role of peacemaker with great eyesight, waved his hand and smiled: "Uncle Mu, okay, okay, don't be angry, by the way, Xiaoya, I also brought you a gift, you can take a look." ”
Li Mu said and took out a delicately packaged gift box from the side, and opened it to see that it was a diamond necklace with exquisite workmanship, shining brightly and movingly in the light, that kind of sparkle is something that most girls can't refuse, of course, only the vast majority.
"Well, the necklace is pretty good, but I don't like this one, you can keep it for other girls, and they will definitely die for you from now on."
Li Mu watched Mu Xiaoya put the necklace back in the box, and then put it back in front of him, with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face.
"You stinky girl, what do you say, people are kind enough to give it to you, if you don't accept it, forget it, why do you still say this, it's a shame for me." Mu Juecheng's face darkened, he thought that his daughter could accept it with joy, and then he could happily pull the strings from it, maybe the two of them could become it, but Mu Xiaoxi's actions disappointed him.
"How can I!" Mu Xiaoya clasped her hands to her chest, sat on the sofa angrily, picked up the apple on the coffee table, and stuffed it into her mouth as if she was angry, with a stubborn force.
Mu Jiecheng still wanted to get angry, but Li Mu stopped it first, and then said, "Uncle Mu, I have also heard about your condition, and it just so happens that I have a friend in the United States who is an expert in this area, and after I told him about your situation, he prescribed me some medicine, which will help alleviate your condition." ”
Mu Xiaoya glanced at a few cylindrical medicine jars on the table and didn't speak, but Mu Juecheng smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "I'm really bothering you, but it's not too embarrassing." ”
"It's okay, Uncle Mu, you have invested in my project before, so you can accept it as a gift." Li Mu waved his hand and did enough courtesy, presumably no elder would be dissatisfied with such a junior, and it could be seen from Mu Juecheng's face how much he liked this Li Mu.
Mu Xiaoxi only felt bored, and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak back to the room, but was still stopped by Mu Juecheng, "You sit down for me, I didn't say anything about you when I ran out in the afternoon, and now that people are coming, you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”
"Oh, Lao Mu, I'm so old, I have a sense of proportion in my affairs, you don't have to worry about it." Mu Xiaoya said miserably, how much she hoped that Lao Mu would let her go, but this didn't seem to happen, Mu Juecheng's eyes were terrifying, and she had to sit down with her mouth flat.
"By the way, at night, there is a lantern festival nearby, you and Li Mu go over and have a look."
"I'm too tired to walk."
"Yes, if you don't go, I'll stop the money in the card for you in the future, and you can choose to be self-reliant."
"I ......" Mu Xiaoya only felt that a thousand words were stuck in her throat and couldn't come out, so she had to beat the sofa with a complaint, and looked at Lao Mu with resentful eyes.
"Xiaoya, the lantern will be very fun, you will definitely like it if you go." Li Mu echoed beside him, Mu Xiaoxi just sighed casually, and then lowered his head to play with his mobile phone. Mu Juecheng couldn't stand it, so he directly urged the two of them to watch the lantern festival.
So Mu Xiaoya took Li Mu's car to the so-called Lantern Festival, the impression of the Lantern Festival was when she was very young, at that time her mother was still there, she seemed to remember the temperature of the palm, the warm and reliable big hand, if her mother was still there, maybe she could arrange her own affairs very well, after all, his father is a man, and he can't handle many things, he just wants to marry himself early, and then hold a big fat grandson as soon as possible, so he can spend the rest of his life with peace of mind.
Thinking about Lao Mu over the years, he has been a mother and a father at the same time, and more than half of his hair is gray because of his own business, it is really difficult for him all these years. In fact, she didn't want to get married early. has a happy marriage and a harmonious family, but what happened before makes her despair of love, and she no longer seems to want such a good marriage.
There is a saying that I once saw that people will meet two people in their life, one is amazing and the other is gentle. Ye Yuhan's appearance seemed to be regarded as a moment of amazement in her life, he shone on her like gold, and then withdrew the light from her.
And the person in that gentle years should be the one who will accompany him for the rest of his life, who he is, he doesn't know, in short, she is now at peace with what she encounters, let fate play tricks.
The journey to the Lantern Festival took about ten minutes, and it could have been faster, but the traffic jam was terrible, so the travel speed was very slow, and it was fast to the intersection. Li Mu simply found a place to park the car and decided to walk in directly.
The door is an arched bridge-shaped white light sign, after entering, the whole body is wrapped in colorful beams, the lanterns around are all kinds of shapes, strange shapes, hexagons, five-pointed stars, rectangles, everything, in order to avoid chaos Li Mu took her hand, she faintly felt the movement of the other party's fingers wanted to insert between her fingers, but she did not respond, so the other party could only hold her palm.
Now holding hands no longer has the feeling of blushing and heartbeat as before, it feels like a very normal thing, she has no intention of watching being pulled by the other party like a puppet, occasionally echoing a few words of the other party and nodding.
The crowd was crowded, and the air was a little stuffy, but fortunately, Li Mu took her out quickly, otherwise she felt that her tumbling stomach would not be able to hold it.
This lantern will be arranged in the east of the city of A by a famous river pond, out of the center just now, come to the river pond, there is a small lamp floating on the river surface, each candle is pressed under a small piece of paper, on which is written the message of people's hearts, the sky is also the shadow of the red Kong Ming lantern, couples are eagerly embraced, children are playing, the old people are taking a leisurely walk, the scenery here seems to be much more comfortable than the center.
"How about it, would you like to try it too?" Li Mu noticed that the other party's eyes had been looking at Kong Mingdeng, so he asked tentatively.
"Ahh Mu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then hummed softly, Li Mu asked her to wait in place, and ran to buy Kong Ming lanterns by herself.
At first, Mu Xiaoxi thought that the Kong Ming lantern she bought could be put directly, but she didn't expect to assemble it, and her surprised expression at that time made Li Mu laugh for a while.
So the two worked together to assemble the Kong Ming lantern, wrote messages on both sides, and released them together. Watching Kong Ming's lantern rise into the sky, Mu Xiaoya's eyes also became expectant.
"What did you write?" Li Mu looked up, suddenly turned his head and asked
"Guess." Mu Xiaoya said playfully.
Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said that it was better to forget it.
The two of them continued to walk inside, and further inside was a quiet greenway, with small glass lights hanging from the trees, and colorful lights flashing on both sides of the walkway. The people on this road are men and women walking in pairs, snuggling together.
It seemed very discordant for the two of them to walk together, walking alone, with a large area of air in between.
"Xiaoya, I know you can't accept a new relationship now, but I will wait for you, I will definitely handle it properly on Su Jin's side, and then give you a satisfactory answer, you wait for me." The two were silent for a long time, and after walking for a while, Li Mu suddenly opened his mouth.
Mu Xiaoya pondered for a moment, then walked to a fence and stopped, leaned on the fence, lazily blew the cool breeze blowing from the river to her face, and then took a deep breath and said, "Actually, feelings can't come reluctantly, just like you just held my hand, I don't feel a little bit, even if you look at me for a long time, I still don't feel it, even if you get such feelings, you won't be happy, what do you say?" ”
"No, I'm sure time will change your opinion of me." Li Mu leaned on the latter's side, took a deep breath, and said firmly.
Mu Xiaoya pursed her mouth and didn't speak, with a helplessness in her eyes, she knew that it was useless for her to say more, so let the latter let time prove everything.
The night is getting deeper, the temperature around him is getting lower, the wind is blowing a little biting, Mu Xiaoya's clothes are a little thin, she is trembling when she walks, Li Mu put her coat on the other party, and proposed to send the other party back, Mu Xiaoya nodded.
In order not to let Lao Mu go back and nag again, she specially bought a few gadgets at the exit, gave two to Li Mu, and gave the other back to Lao Mu.
Sure enough, when Lao Mu saw this, his face was very good, and he thought that they were having a good time at the Lantern Festival, but Li Mu also cooperated, didn't say anything, said goodbye and left.
Mu Xiaoya stretched her waist lazily, only feeling that she was tired today, she took a shower, and lay down in the quilt early, obviously feeling very tired, but she couldn't sleep, and the message she wrote on it when she put the Kong Ming lantern repeatedly appeared in her mind: Ye Yuhan, if you fall in love with me first, what will happen later.
Outside the window, an unknown sound of the piano came from her, lulling her heart to sleep, and the moonlight shone through the window into her pillow, and a glimmer of sparkle in the corner of her eyes in the moonlight.
