135. Bet
I thought Fu Xiaowen would excuse himself, but I didn't expect Mu Jingchi to just mention it politely, he didn't even mean to shirk, and said with a hearty smile: "It is my Fu Xiaowen's great honor to be able to dine with Mr. Mu." ”
When Mu Jingchi heard him say this, he waved his hand and motioned for the maid to add a position.
It didn't take long for the maid to add the position of Fu Xiaowen and Fu Shaowen to our table, Fu Xiaowen seemed to be thinking about something as soon as he sat down, he thought about it for a while, and then said to Mu Jingchi: "Mr. Mu, that's the case, there is something I don't know if I should tell you." ”
At this time, Xiao Er brought the dishes up, and Mu Jingchi served me a bowl of soup to warm my stomach first, and then said to Fu Xiaowen: "Speak it out first, I can give some advice if I am interested." ”
Fu Xiaowen glanced at me again, he seemed to be thinking about something, and I had already guessed what he said, and sure enough, the next second he said: "That's the case, I, I, I-"
Fu Xiaowen was a little hesitant, and Fu Shaowen, who couldn't stand it, simply interrupted him and said: "That's the case, my brother likes Miss Lu, and he has been telling his father at home these days that he wants to go to your house to propose marriage, I don't know if Mr. Mu can agree?" ”
Fu Xiaowen didn't expect that he was spitting for a long time, and what he wanted to say was said by his sister casually, he felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Mu Jingchi.
His sister Fu Shaowen saw that her brother didn't dare to say anything when he reached a critical time, so she said a little anxiously: "Brother, you say." ”
Mu Jingchi had been quietly waiting for him to speak.
Fu Xiaowen finally mustered up the courage and said, "That's the case, Mr. Mu, I want to propose to your family." ”
Mu Jingchi was not surprised that he would say this, basically he had already guessed about the same, Mu Jingchi still smiled softly and said, "Is Fu Gongzi referring to Qingye?" ”
Fu Xiaowen said: "Yes, the two of us are in love, and I have been writing to her during this time. He looked at me and said, "We really like it, and please do it." ”
Mu Jingchi has always taken care of people, so he never treats his juniors with a shelf, he is quite easy-going in the eyes of everyone, and he should have been a maid pouring tea on the side, but Mu Jingchi took the teapot, poured tea there and said, "I have read all the letters you wrote." ”
Fu Xiaowen thought it was given to Mu Jingchi, and immediately looked at me.
Mu Jingchi chuckled again and explained: "But don't get me wrong, the letter was sent to me by the maid, and it has nothing to do with her." ”
Fu Xiaowen was very puzzled and asked: "Actually, Mrs. Di has already told me all this, but I am still a little puzzled, why does Mr. Mu disagree with me being with Qingye?" Obviously we like each other, is it because of her previous things? ”
At this time, Mu Jingchi picked up a cup of tea on the table and put it in front of Fu Xiaowen and asked, "What does Fu Gongzi think likes?" ”
Fu Xiaowen didn't expect Mu Jingchi to ask him this question, but he stopped him, and Mu Jingchi brought another cup to Fu Shaowen and said: "Your liking is just a child's love of playing at home, any liking should be based on feelings, if you don't even have a foundation, this kind of liking is just a kind of talk on paper." ”
Fu Xiaowen thought that Mu Jingchi thought he was insincere, and he hurriedly said, "I can swear to you, I-"
Mu Jingchi interrupted him and said: "Okay, any oath is just a lie until it is fulfilled, Fu Gongzi doesn't have to dwell on this matter anymore, I can tell you directly, you and her are not suitable, whether it is a family matter, or identity, or background." ”
Fu Xiaowen didn't understand Mu Jingchi's words.
Mu Jingchi said: "She is young and ignorant, and her favorite thing to do is to tease people. There was a faint smile between the corners of his mouth and said: "The letter he wrote to you, I don't know how many times he has written it to many people, from the housekeeper to the gardener maid, even I have been teased by her, if Fu Gongzi misunderstands something, please forgive her for being young and ignorant, greedy and willful." ”
When Mu Jingchi said this, there was no sign of lying, it seemed so true, if I didn't know the real situation, maybe I would have been deceived by him.
Fu Xiaowen didn't know if it was true or not, and looked at me with a little hurt in his eyes.
Mu Jingchi picked up the teacup on the table, brushed the rippling water in the cup, and said, "Apologize to Fu Gongzi, Qingye." ”
Fu Xiaowen looked at me.
I sat at the table at first and didn't move, Mu Jingchi didn't urge, just waited for me quietly, after a while, I moved my stiff body twice, and said to Fu Xiaowen: "Fu Gongzi, a momentary joke has caused your misunderstanding, the reason why I replied to your letters is indeed because of a joke, please don't take it seriously." ”
Fu Xiaowen didn't expect me to say this, he couldn't believe it, his eyes were full of hurt and stared at me, Fu Shaowen wanted to say something, but who knew that she swallowed her words when she came to her mouth, probably because she was worried that Mu Jingchi was here, she simply pulled Fu Xiaowen up and said: "Brother, let's go, I didn't expect her to be so tricky, you told me before how beautiful she is, how knowledgeable and reasonable, it turns out to be fake, this kind of person who teases you, you don't want it." She dragged Fu Xiaowen away.
Fu Xiaowen kept looking back at me, but he was now in a state of confusion, and he didn't think about resisting anything at all, and was soon dragged down by Fu Shaowen directly from the Drunken Moon Tower.
Our side was cleared up in an instant, there was the cup of tea on the table that Fu Shaowen and Fu Xiaowen brother and sister had touched, although Mu Jingchi didn't speak, but when his eyes swept over the cup, the maid on the side immediately came over, took the two cups off the table, and removed the unused tableware from the two, and everything returned to its previous appearance.
Mu Jingchi's mood was still not ruined, he picked up the chopsticks and held the dishes for me and said, "How about the new dishes?" ”
I just ate in silence.
Mu Jingchi saw that I ate very slowly, and the frequency of picking vegetables was not too fast, basically after my bowl was empty, he would put some of my favorite food into my bowl.
This meal took more than an hour, after eating and drinking, Mu Jingchi took me to the cinema again, the cinema is usually crowded, but today I found that it was quiet, I found that the entire Xinhua Plaza was cleared, and Mu Jingchi led me inside.
I followed him, and when I entered the cinema, it was so dark that it was not good, there was no light around, only the movie screen in front of me was fluorescent, and the standard and three-dimensional face of the foreigner at the top of the screen.
Mu Jingchi has never liked to look at this kind of thing, but this time he took it very seriously, but it was me, and I was a little lacking in interest when I came here.
Mu Jingchi's dry hand held my hand on the back of the chair, I didn't dodge, his eyes still fell on the screen, the two of us kept looking at the screen in front of us in this posture, I don't know how long it took, I pulled my hand out of his palm, and whispered beside him; "I want to go to the bathroom."
Mu Jingchi looked sideways at me and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”
I said, "No, I'll go and come back." ”
Mu Jingchi stretched out his hand and touched his head and said, "Go ahead." ”
I got up from my chair and walked outside, and when I got to the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror, opened my makeup bag, and after a while, I left the bathroom and went back to the screening room, where the film was in the climax.
Mu Jingchi was sitting in the front row with his back to me, he was shrouded in the faint light on the screen, and he could clearly see his entire back, as well as his gray hair under the light.
I stood there for about a few seconds, and subconsciously touched the gun on my waist, looking from my position, as long as I shot him, it could completely end his life, this was a unique opportunity, because in this empty screening room, he didn't let anyone in, including Xie Dong, and he didn't follow closely, there were only me and him here.
As long as I stood behind him, pulled the trigger lightly, and fired a shot at him who was unsuspecting at this moment, then everything between me and him was over.
But I don't know why, when I touched the cold machine with my hand, it was the same as the last time, I kept shaking, shaking, shaking a little like myself, and I didn't even have the strength to draw a gun.
Just as I was staring at Mu Jingchi's back in a daze, at this time, a person suddenly walked in at the door of the screening hall, my hand on my waist, suddenly slid down, and it was a bodyguard who walked in, he stopped at the door and said to Mu Jingchi: "Sir, it's not early, should it be time to go back?" ”
When Mu Jingchi heard the words of the bodyguard, he didn't look back, but asked in a low voice, "What time is it?" ”
The bodyguard said, "It's almost midnight." ”
Mu Jingchi's deep voice came from the place where the light source was, dull, and he said, "Wait a little longer." ”
The bodyguard stood there and looked at me for a long time before he said, "Yes." Then, he slowly retreated from the door, and closed the door in the screening hall by the way, and there were only me and Mu Jingchi left again.
I don't know why, but I had a hunch that the bodyguard outside the door seemed to know something, and he suddenly came in at that point, including the wary look he gave me as he left.
I tried to look normal as much as I could, and walked towards Mu Jingchi. He sat there without even changing his posture, his eyes still fixed on the screen.
After I sat down next to him, he took my slightly cold hand again, and instead of looking at me, he asked me, "It seems like you've been going for a long time." ”
I said truthfully, "I stood behind you for a while. ”
Mu Jingchi didn't even ask me why I was standing behind him, it didn't happen, he just looked at the film that had already ended and said, "You have been going for too long, the movie is over." ”
I said, "If it's over, then let's go back." ”
He turned to me and asked, "Aren't you going to rewatch it?" ”
I said, "I'm a little tired and want to go home and rest." ”
Mu Jingchi didn't continue, but led me to get up from the chair, and at the moment I got up, the lights in the screening room turned on slowly, and I saw a few shaking figures from under our feet, and soon, when I looked up, the screening room was surrounded by snipers.
The guns in their hands were all aimed at me, my whole body was stiff, and the whole person was led out by Mu Jingchi mechanically, I followed him, when the two of us were about to walk out of the screening hall, Mu Jingchi whispered: "You know, I made a bet with myself in my heart just now, if you pull out a gun, I will never keep you again." ”
