Chapter XVII
At 7:40, the promotion of convenience stores was at its peak, and a female saleswoman in her thirties was very busy. Zhou Meng looked inside for a long time, but there was no trace of the man. yes, he's on the night shift, so he probably won't come until late at night. Zhou Meng guessed in his heart and decided to leave.
"Hey, do you need help?" At the entrance of the convenience store, a middle-aged woman asked, still wearing work clothes, suspiciously. "I see you've been hanging out of the door for a long time."
Zhou Meng looked at her, stopped talking, was silent for a moment, she smiled awkwardly and sighed: "No, no, thank you, it's okay." She turned and was about to leave, but shook her head hesitantly. I, I thought, ask, is Mu Yu there? ”
"Muyu? He's not here now, and it's not until after half past ten in the evening. The saleswoman explained that she noticed that the woman in front of her was nervous, and her clenched hands were shaking.
"Oh, it's okay, I just asked, thanks." Zhou Meng tried her best to look casual, but the excited heartbeat in her heart did not calm down.
"But he's been here before, about half an hour ago." The saleswoman saw the other party's thoughts, even when she saw Mu Yu for the first time, she was moved, it was rare for such a beautiful woman to have such courage, and she showed a friendly smile. "You're the one who rested here last night, he thought you hadn't left yet, and he looked worried about you."
"Oh." Zhou Meng replied sluggishly, very embarrassed, if it weren't for the darkness falling, her face in the dark light would not be so easy to detect even if it was crimson, she took a long breath, and her heartbeat gradually eased.
"Huh." The saleswoman was suddenly surprised, she pointed to the back of Zhou Meng, in the direction of Tiandu Peak. "That man, it seems, seems to be Muyu." Zhou Meng's eyes were stunned, and he hurriedly turned his head, at the entrance of Tianfeng Road, there was a person coming down from the mountain road, and the familiar figure, as if he had known each other from time to time, appeared in the memory fragments of last night. That's right, that's him. "The brightest flame of joy is probably ignited by an unexpected spark, and the fragrant flowers that emit from time to time on the road of life also grow naturally from the seeds that fall by chance, fate everyone has, but many people don't know that they have met it." The middle-aged woman sighed, she smiled indifferently, turned around and walked into the convenience store.
The immersed heart gradually sank in the mud flow of the night, the feeling that she had never had, with the longing that she had also longed for, sprouted ignorant in the torrent, Zhou Meng breathed deeply, the night breeze blew through her hair, caressing her cheeks, her red face was taken away by this coolness, she walked in the direction of Mu Yu, and took a step.
For the matter of Tianfeng Mountain, Mu Tianyu has a general understanding, he found something special outside the barrier in the depths of the dense forest, the simplest point is that the electromagnetic field will fluctuate irregularly, and the mobile phone will have a short flicker, but it will return to normal after a while, which does not mean that the magnetic field is also stable, but that electronic products are adapted to current at different frequencies. But what is more important is induction, on the first day of the crime, when Mu Tianyu was at the scene of the murder, he could detect the evil power remaining nearby, and now it seems that this dark power comes from the depths of the jungle. He pondered the question until it became clear that there was a person in his sight.
The two stopped almost at the same time, looked at each other, and lasted for about ten seconds, Mu Tianyu said: "Hey, why are you here, your injuries are not serious." ”
"It's already much better, thank you." After Zhou Meng answered, the atmosphere fell into solidification again, as if the two of them couldn't find a topic to talk about in an instant.
"Are you free?"
"So I'm leaving?" Almost the two of them spoke in unison, Mu Tianyu realized that the other party might have something to ask for, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, I have time now, it's still early to go to work." ”
"Me, can I invite you to dinner?" Zhou Meng almost couldn't suppress her emotional tension, she regretted it as soon as she said it, she laughed awkwardly, and secretly said in her heart, how can a girl invite a man to dine, this is too embarrassing. She quickly explained: "Actually, my parents have a banquet tonight, I want to thank you for your help last night, although I have a vague memory and don't remember what happened, but subconsciously it seems that you saved me, so, I ......" Her excited emotions could not clarify the words of the statement, and turned to look at the end of the prosperous imperial road, and the palace tower flickered under the brilliant lights. "At Shengshi Restaurant, it's a dinner at eight o'clock, so ......"
"Eight o'clock?" Mu Tianyu was amazed, looked at the watch in his hand and said, "There are still more than twenty minutes, let's go, you can't be late for the first time." ”
Zhou Meng didn't expect the other party to say this, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, and she was worried that she would be rejected for a while, and she was very remorseful. Along the way, she and Mu Tianyu walked towards the Shengshi Emperor Road, but in the dim light, they looked a little comfortable. "By the way, my name is Zhou Meng."
"Muyu."
"I work in the police department."
"I work at a convenience store."
“…………”
In the bustling streets, the two of them reverberate with laughter, until a branded clothing store. The two shopping guides at the door were very enthusiastic. "Hi sir, please be mentally prepared." Mu Tianyu was surprised for a while, but the shopping guide smiled very happily, and she took a step back and motioned to the woman who was about to come out of the locker room.
The elegance of silk shows the perfect curve of her body, or because she works in the police force, it is difficult to have such a slender body proportion, the fluffy long hair has lost the restraint of the tie, and the beautiful bright hair is tilted to the side, this pure and elegant side reveals her charm, the eyes between the eyebrows, because of weakness but appear tender like water, like two clear springs, Bingling's eyes are unforgettable, and the red lips are also heartwarming and soul-stirring. This familiar figure, face, and shy smile made Mu Tianyu feel emotional, he seemed to see the person he had been closest to, his trembling eyes, he stared at the picture of memories and nostalgia, and the emotional moment rarely appeared in the depths of his already dry heart.
"Sir, your lover is so beautiful." The one who spoke was a middle-aged woman who looked relatively young, and she was the manager of the brand store. "Because I used to work in makeup, your lover is naturally beautiful, so I couldn't help it, and lightly put on a little retouching for her, she is really beautiful." Almost everyone in the store, not only the staff, but also the other customers who patronized the store were envious.
Mu Tianyu took a deep breath, his face was dazed, he didn't expect this scene to appear, especially Zhou Meng's face, which was engraved with the word embarrassment. "Thanks, hug, sorry, I'...... She ......"
"We're not lovers, we're just friends." Zhou Meng smiled shyly, diluting the frozen atmosphere, and everyone looked at each other and was silent.
Seeing this, Mu Tianyu said, "I'll try on clothes first." He picked out a random black suit, took it off, and walked to the dressing room on the other side. Facing the fitting mirror, he took off his T-shirt and stared at himself in the mirror, the tattoos all over his body burned his pupils, and he raised his hand to look at the unfamiliar pattern of his arms. When he was very young, it was also the moment when his brain had just memorized it, and he knew that he was different. He didn't know where this tattoo came from, only that it had always been with him, and as his body grew, he browsed the strange things on the Internet, and entered every unique tattoo shop, but he was still at a loss for the tattoos on his body.
The white shirt and suit had not been worn for a long time, Mu Tianyu felt a little uncomfortable, perhaps because of the hot weather, he really wanted to jump into the lake naked, and then dive to the deepest depths, stay for a long time, and isolate all the impetuous and indulgent noises around him. "Wow." The little girl next to the cash register, who looked like she had just come of age, exclaimed enviously: "They are so compatible." ”
In the prosperous imperial road, the two of them have become the only focus on the street, and even the dynamic melody has become low in front of them, looking at a pair of very different eyes, listening to the whispers of each other's ears. "Wow, these people are really ......" Zhou Meng lowered his head and whispered.
"It's because you're so beautiful." Mu Tianyu smiled indifferently.
At this moment, a female student not far from the left, holding ice cream in her hand, looked at Mu Tianyu blankly and sighed, "So handsome." ”
Zhou Meng looked at Mu Tianyu and shook his head. "It's obvious that it's because of you." She also exclaimed in her heart, the other party was really fascinated by the opposite sex. Suddenly, her feet fell into the air, she exclaimed, and slipped backwards, Mu Tianyu subconsciously leaned over, hugged Zhou Meng's slender waist, and stared at the woman lying in his arms, the faint body fragrance touched his olfactory nerves.
Such a picture seems to be frozen, but unfortunately the people come and go, so that the romantic atmosphere is dispersed a lot. "Are you alright?" Mu Tianyu wondered.
"No, me, it seems like my foot hurts a little."
"Are they high heels?" Mu Tianyu helped her up, slowly let go of her hand, looked at her who was trembling slightly, and said, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, I wear high heels sometimes." Zhou Meng said in a deep voice, nervously speculating in his heart, what's going on, it's too big, he must have thought that I did it on purpose, I used to wear high heels when I was shopping, how could there be a reason to slip, it was really shameless. Thinking to herself, she took a step, but then, with another exclamation, her feet fell into the air, and her whole body fell forward.
In the same action, she was hugged by the other party again, and suddenly, at the moment of bending over, through the long skirt lifted by the wind, Mu Tianyu noticed the strangeness at her ankles, and secretly said in her heart, I see, it was eroded by resentment. "It's fine." Mu Tianyu comforted, he actually picked up Zhou Meng with both hands, and then walked in the direction of the palace tower.
Strong arm bend, giving the most direct protection, although Zhou Meng is a police officer, he has also lost his sense of security, lying in his arms, feeling the flow of the other party's blood and a steady heartbeat. She was so calm and at ease, only then did she realize that she was a petite and delicate lovely woman, unlike the wrong judgment of outsiders. She had never had such intimate contact with the opposite sex, as if her soul was moving with his steps, staring at his vicissitudes of life, and couldn't help but feel a trace of sentimentality in her heart.
In the elevator of Shengshi Restaurant, the nineteenth floor was approaching, Zhou Meng came back to her senses, and she said in a hurry: "Okay, let me down." "The crimson cheeks were like drinking a bottle of wine from the '64 Hunting Sun Cruise. She tried her best to straighten up, inevitably shaking, biting her red lips, lipstick rubbing a little on her front teeth.
