"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I've thought it through, it's not because I'm married, it has nothing to do with anyone"

"Sheng'er, you think about it again, after all, you have been doing this job for so long, and you are capable, don't be rash," Nan Shuche, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said

"Don't bother your father, just take care of your children" Nan Sheng didn't want to hear his words at the moment

"I don't know what to do" Nan Shuche has always had only a little patience with Nan Sheng, and left after speaking

"Nan Sheng, you look like this, you are more and more like your mother, I have carefully taught you since I was a child, so that you can let go of your paranoia, but I didn't expect you to become more stubborn when you are older" Nan Jincheng said and sighed

Nan Sheng's mother was also stubborn back then, that's why something like that happened, and he didn't want Nan Sheng to be the same

"Stand up and go back," Nan Jincheng said, walking past Nan Sheng, full of disappointment

Mu Ci looked at everything that happened, and was a little panicked for a while, he didn't expect Nan Sheng to say this to his family today, he helped her up

Nan Sheng didn't feel more relaxed than ever

In contrast, she was a little stunned, and she didn't seem to be very happy when she said it, could it really be that she was impulsive

She walked slowly towards a room

This room is like a hole in her tree, carrying too many of her joys and sorrows

Mu Ci followed behind her, watching silently, and all he seemed to be able to do at the moment was to accompany

The furnishings in the house have a somewhat quaint atmosphere, and as soon as the door is opened, the oncoming dust enters the nasal cavity, which is a place where no one from the Nan family can enter except Nan Sheng

The thick soil of the zither and the crooked music stand, the disorganized yellowed rice paper, the scattered calligraphy and paintings, and the pile of books in the corner

Of course, there are also the photos on the table, and the people in the photos are so gentle and generous

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been in this room

Everything in it is a testimony of her growth and something left by her mother

She looked at these and lost her mind for a moment

After a long time, he suddenly spoke

"You go out first, you don't have to follow me"

Mu Ci didn't follow after hearing it, and he didn't forget to close the door when he left

Nan Sheng is like a book to him, sometimes he understands it, sometimes he doesn't even know a word, after getting along for so long, he still can't figure out her character, the only thing he can be sure of is to support her unconditionally and protect her

———————————

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone rang suddenly

"What's the matter?" asked Mu Ci, listening to the voice on the other end of the phone

"Fourth, the matter you asked me to check is a bit eyebrow-raising, when will you bring your younger siblings over" said the person on the other end of the phone, his voice a little cynical

"Okay, I'm in trouble"

"Fuck off, it's polite to get married, but how far have you two developed, and the brothers are still waiting to be uncles."

"It's going to be right away, you have to hurry up and prepare the red envelope"

"Brother and sister know that you like her for so many years, you can't be moved to death"

"Hang up, don't talk nonsense," Mu Ci said, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly

——————————

Nan Sheng sorted out all the things on the table and put them in a cardboard box, she looked at the way she had worked hard page by page, and felt a little more reluctant in her heart

She regretted it

Only then did she realize that her dislike and persistence had become a part of her life

She turned to the picture on the table and muttered

"Mom, what is the right choice, they told me, if I study hard, you will come back to accompany me, but what about you, do you know how much I miss you? Every time I dream of a scene without you, why don't you come to see me," he said, and squatted on the ground and cried bitterly

For a while, the infinite depression and longing in my heart were released

Nan Sheng has always lived a very strong life, but this is the only thing that she can't untie

Her cry became more and more heartbreaking, and it reached the living room, and Mu Ci wanted to go in, but was stopped by Nan Jincheng

"Sheng'er hasn't talked as much as she did today since her mother died, and she hasn't cried like this, let her go, otherwise she will be suffocated" Nan Jincheng said with a lot of distress

"Maybe she's so stubborn, and blame me, she never asked her what she wanted, and she has always imposed my ideas on her, harm, but I'm afraid that she has regretted it, after all, I know her, her love for ancient book research is beyond ordinary people, how can she say that she will let it go" Nan Jincheng said and knocked on the crutches anxiously

"Grandpa, I have something I want to ask," Mu Ci said calmly

"Say it"

"Sheng'er's mother's death is not an accident," Mu Ci said the doubts in his heart

Nan Jincheng was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then spoke

"It's an accident, there's no other reason, don't be brainwashed by Sheng'er"

"Grandpa, you don't have to lie to me, you know that my social relationship as a businessman is complicated, and I won't ask you directly if I am not sure."

Mu was not sure, but he saw Nan Jincheng's unnaturalness from the micro-expression just now, and he could conclude that he was lying

"I said it was an accident, it's an accident, don't ask again" When this matter is mentioned, Nan Jincheng will become annoyed

"Good" Mu Ci already has a plan in mind

"She won't cry now, you can take her back in a while, tell her that her resignation report at the research institute did not agree, and she was also giving her a chance, three days for her to think about it clearly, and also, you two don't have to ask more about her mother's affairs, the answer is the same no matter how many times you ask" Nan Jincheng said and walked out, Nan Sheng cried so sadly, how could he not feel distressed

"Knock knock, can you enter?" asked Mu Ci softly

"Yes," Nan Sheng's mood slowly stabilized

When Mu Ci entered, Nan Sheng had put the furnishings in the room in order, and she squatted in front of a box and didn't know what she was looking for

"Are these your things?" asked Mu Ci as he squatted down

"No, it's all Mommy's stuff, I just saw it today" This box has been in the corner, square and unobtrusive

It was mostly filled with trinkets and scraps of paper, and the only photos were yellowed

"Gu Beichen" Nan Sheng read the name behind the photo, but the person in the photo couldn't see it clearly, she didn't care, and put the thing back again

Mu Ci noticed this name, Gu Beichen, how could he be so familiar

"Do you know that person just now?" asked Mu Ci

"I don't know, it should be my mother's friend, my parents' relationship has always been bad, they often quarreled when I was a child, so I never believed in feelings, so to speak, I never thought I would get married" Nan Sheng said lightly, inevitably a little touching

Mu Ci listened to these words coming out of her mouth, and for a while there was a strange feeling

"Pack it up, let's go" Nan Sheng put things away

"Grandpa said... Grandpa said that the research institute gave you three days off to adjust to work."

"Let's talk about it"
