Not Spare the Years

After noticing that Mu Ruqing was approaching, Mu Xueyi immediately said to Zhou Zhenyue:

"It's my sister."

Zhou Zhenyue got up from the bed neatly, stood aside, and put on her hat and mask. Old Doctor Jiang asked her to stand behind him, trying to make her look very inconspicuous.

Mu Xueyi quickly realized that Dr. Jiang locked the door when he came in.

It would be bad if Mu Ruqing found out that the door was locked. After all... no doctor would lock the door when they came to diagnose.

But Mu Ruqing was almost at the door, and when she turned the lock away in the past, the sound she made might also arouse her suspicion.

At the time of the dilemma, Zhong Wan's voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Aqing, where are you going?"

The listening distance should be at the entrance of the stairs.

Mu Ruqing's footsteps really stopped, "I want to go to Xueyi's room to have a look."

She paused, and seemed to have a faint smile in her voice when she spoke again: "Wanwan, you haven't called me Ah Qing for a long time."

Zhong Wan said, "I...I want to talk to you about something."

Mu Ruqing: "What's wrong?"

Zhong Wan: "Next week is my birthday. Didn't you ask me two days ago, what do you want as a birthday present?"

Mu Ruqing: "Have you made up your mind?"

Zhong Wan: "I think about it."

Mu Ruqing: "Okay, let's go upstairs and tell me."

Hearing Mu Ruqing's footsteps slowly leaving the door, Mu Xueyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Doctor Jiang had finished the needle, and after quickly treating the wound, he consciously ran to sit on the sofa far away, put on his earphones, and gave Zhou Zhenyue and Mu Xueyi some free space to communicate.

Zhou Zhenyue sat back by the bed, pulled down her mask, and thoughtfully, "It shouldn't be a coincidence, right?"

"It's not a coincidence," Mu Xueyi affirmed her idea, "I talked to Wanwan this afternoon, and she agreed to help me."

Zhou Zhenyue asked, "What's going on?"

Mu Xueyi: "Actually, I thought about it when I was in the hospital. I am helpless in the Mu family, and only Wanwan can rely on it. Even if she doesn't come to me this afternoon, I will take the initiative to find her. It's just an opportunity. When I got there, I proposed to her that if I could help her leave Mu Ruqing, she also had to cooperate with me to do some things. Because it is still a bit risky for you and Uncle Jiang to enter Mu's house together, I am afraid that there will be unexpected situations. Just tell Wan Wan, let her help me stare at Mu Ruqing tonight."

Zhou Zhenyue listened patiently, lowered her eyes for a while, and then asked, "You shouldn't just ask her to do this, right?"

Mu Xueyi shook his head: "Of course not only, you will know later."

"..." Zhou Zhenyue frowned slightly and looked at Mu Xueyi seriously, "Xueyi, you are using your only friend, do you know?"

Mu Xueyi looked indifferent, hummed, "I know."

Zhou Zhenyue: "But you cherish your friends. In the past, you would never put your friends in your plan anyway."

Mu Xueyi raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Zhenyue with a shallow smile on her lips.

"Ayue, starting from the hospital, you should know that I am not the me I used to be."

Zhou Zhenyue stared into Mu Xueyi's eyes for a long time. In her eyes, she could no longer see the weakness and concessions she had used to be, but instead had a bit of hostility similar to her own.

The kind of hostility that can only be experienced when playing against opponents in the business arena.

"But..." Zhou Zhenyue sighed a long time, looked away, and looked at the dry branches outside the window that were shivering by the wind and rain, "I really don't want you to force yourself to do things that go against your heart."

"I didn't go against my heart." Mu Xueyi was still staring at Zhou Zhenyue with a soft voice, "My heart tells me that anyone who hurts you should be damned."

Hearing Mu Xueyi say the word "death", Zhou Zhenyue's breathing stagnated.

Seeing that Zhou Zhenyue seemed nervous, Mu Xueyi laughed: "Just kidding, it's a society ruled by law now, how could I do such a thing."

Zhou Zhenyue stared at her without saying a word.

Mu Xueyi's voice turned lower again: "Besides, it's more interesting to see them live than to die, isn't it more interesting than to die directly...?"

The rain outside the window became heavier, and the rustling sound became more intense.

Mu Xueyi smiled, "Ayue, do you think I've become a little scary?"

Zhou Zhenyue supported the edge of the bed, sat forward a little, put her hand on Mu Xueyi's hot hand, and said in a low and gentle voice, "I never thought you were scary, you have your own choice, and I respect you. I just want you to understand that you can do what you want at Mu's house, but if one day you feel that you can't stand alone, you can tell me at any time. No matter what difficulties stand in the way, I will come over and pick up You go home."

Mu Xueyi held back her sour eyes, clenched Zhou Zhenyue's hand, and smiled brightly on purpose.

"Then when I'm done with everything here, I'll go back and continue writing love letters to you, okay?"

The corners of Zhou Zhenyue's lips curved into a soft arc.

"it is good.".

The next afternoon, as Mu Guocheng said, Shen Huaixing went to Mu's house to visit Mu Xueyi.

When Shen Huaixing entered the door, Mu Xueyi tried hard to get up, and there was a tape stuck with a hanging needle on her hand supporting the edge of the bed.

"Don't move," Shen Huaixing took a few steps to the bed and supported Mu Xueyi, "Lie down."

Mu Xueyi bowed her head to Shen Huaixing: "Teacher, long time no see."

Shen Huaixing sat on the edge of the bed and helped her make a pillow, "It's been a long time. I just heard that you had a car accident and I didn't go to the hospital to see you as soon as possible. I feel very guilty."

Mu Xueyi leaned against the head of the bed and didn't speak for a while.

After a while, she chuckled lightly: "Teacher, I remember telling you the last time we met that there is absolutely no possibility for me and you. When my father proposed to marry the Shen family, why didn't you? refuse?"

Shen Huaixing didn't expect that, before even a few words of greetings, Mu Xueyi asked her directly with a single shot.

She was stunned, "I..."

Mu Xueyi murmured: "If you refused directly, there would not be so many things later, wouldn't it?"

Shen Huaixing changed the subject: "Xueyi, the weather is nice today, let me take you to the yard."

Sometimes, there is no direct answer, but also an answer.

The facts are very clear, Shen Huaixing is not ignorant. She knew, and condoned Mu Guocheng to do these things.

Just like how she indulged Mu Ruqing to threaten her again and again.

The last thought about this old relationship in my heart seemed to have completely disappeared.

There was a smile on Mu Xueyi's face: "Okay, go to the yard."

Seeing that Mu Xueyi didn't ask any more questions, Shen Huaixing let out a sigh of relief, lifted her up, and carefully helped her out of bed.

The two went to the yard and sat down at the coffee table under the parasol. Shen Huaixing took the initiative to make a pot of scented tea for Mu Xueyi.

Mu Xueyi's forehead, wrists and ankles were wrapped with gauze, which made it inconvenient to move. Shen Huaixing directly picked up the cup and fed it to her mouth.

Mu Xueyi glanced at Shen Huaixing, then took the rim of the cup obediently, and took a small sip.

Seeing that Mu Xueyi did not refuse, Shen Huaixing thought that their relationship was a step closer, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Xueyi, I told Uncle Mu that the marriage is not in a hurry, everything is based on your wishes," Shen Huaixing tentatively stretched out his hand, trying to hold Mu Xueyi's hand, and when he covered her finger, the other party did not dodge, " The rift between us can be slowly mended, and I can wait until you fall in love with me like you did before and marry me willingly."

Mu Xueyi smiled lightly and nodded: "Okay."

Shen Huaixing was overjoyed: "You agreed?"

"I promise," Mu Xueyi propped her chin and seemed to be laughing all the time, "Anyway, it's impossible for me to be with Zhou Zhenyue now. Teacher, you are so good, and Dad wants me to do it too. Why don't I agree?"

Looking at the familiar girl in front of him, Shen Huaixing remembered how she looked when she was in college.

Similar to now, he still has long, slightly curly hair with delicate curls, pale skin that shows a little sickness, thin neck and wrists, and smiling eyes.

It's just...it doesn't seem to be the same.

Shen Huaixing couldn't tell what was different about Mu Xueyi now, but it just felt like something had changed.

But then, she felt that she was thinking too much.

How can such a weak girl have complicated thoughts.

"Teacher," Mu Xueyi took the initiative to call her, "Can I ask you to do me a favor?"

Shen Huaixing regained his senses and nodded tenderly: "Of course, you say."

Mu Xueyi: "Dad was afraid that I would run out to contact Zhou Zhenyue again, so he banned my feet. I heard that there will be an auction in the Anyang Hotel in two days. You know, my father and I have a bad relationship. I want to buy a present at that auction and give it to my father. Could you tell my father that I will be allowed to go out that day? Don't worry, I will not run around, just take me to the auction already."

Shen Huaixing thought about it and felt that this request was not excessive, so he agreed.

Mu Xueyi added: "When you talk to Dad, don't tell him that we are going to the auction. I want to surprise him. Don't tell my sister, I'm afraid she will reveal it to Dad. Okay?"

Shen Huaixing: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Mu Xueyi: "Thank you. Also... I don't have any money on me now. Can you lend me some money when bidding? I won't auction expensive things, and I will definitely pay it back in the future."

Shen Huaixing smiled: "It doesn't matter, I'll just go out, you don't need to pay it back. After all, we will be a family in the future, and the things you bid for will also be given to my father-in-law, so you don't have to be so outspoken."

"That's great," Mu Xueyi smiled softly, "Thank you very much."

Shen Huaixing took a sip of tea and put the porcelain cup back into the porcelain plate, "You don't need to use my honorific title with me, and you don't need to be so polite."

Mu Xueyi replied obediently: "Okay."

Shen Huaixing couldn't help laughing: "Seeing that you are so happy, you should be looking forward to that auction, right?"

Mu Xueyi nodded vigorously, like an innocent girl: "Of course!"

She was really happy.

If nothing else, that auction... should be the place where she and Ah Yue will meet next time.

Mu Xueyi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and smelled the sweet fragrance of flowers mixed in the air.

Mingming stayed by Shen Huaixing's side, enjoying the warmth of Shen Huaixing's palm and the sweet tea that Shen Huaixing fed her.

There was only Zhou Zhenyue in her mind.

Which shirt will Ah Yue wear next time?

What did Ah Yue have for lunch today?

If Ah Yue was sitting here watching flowers with her, what would she say.

In the past, even if she no longer had any affection for Shen Huaixing, she would still feel a little guilty if she had such a careless heart.

But now...

She suddenly found that she didn't seem to know how to write the word "guilt".

The author has something to say: Thank you for the nutrient solution you fed yesterday, thank you! Never received so much nutrient solution overnight! hey-hey.
