Chapter 42
Chapter 41 – Gap
Accidentally hurt the other party eight hundred thousand, but she seemed to have lost eighty thousand, her chest was so flustered that her heartbeat was about to twist together.
When Zhou Yi packed up and came down from upstairs, Yang Ling was putting food on the dining table.
Seeing that the end of her hair was a little damp, Yang Ling stroked it and asked uncertainly, “Have you washed your hair?”
Zhou Yi paused when he pulled the chair, the heat on his face that had just receded seemed to return.
Without looking up, she just sat down and bit a bun, and said in a vague voice, “By the way, I’ll take a shower.”
“It’s early in the morning, what do you take a bath for?” Yang Ling sat down opposite Zhou Yi, and said with a smile: “Mu Qinglin said that your follow-up visit is in good condition, so please don’t bother, if you catch a cold, all previous efforts will be wasted .”
Zhou Yi’s mentality was a bit broken, she felt dizzy when she heard the word “Mu Qinglin”, but there was a saying that Murphy arrived even though he was late.
As soon as Tang Yuanzhou came over, he asked, “Mu Qinglin is leaving today, why don’t you go see him off?”
Zhou Yi’s lips twitched, remembering what Mu Qinglin said in the car last night—she was going to meet someone in the southwest, a woman, from a long distance, and it was still during the Chinese New Year, but she was too caring.
Zhou Yi took a big bite of the bun and said, “No…”
Tang Yuanzhou raised his head, “Have you fed your conscience to the dog?”
Zhou Yi, “Hey, I’ll make a fortune, that bitch’s girlfriend will make a fortune.”
“Hi!” Tang Yuanzhou laughed angrily, “What’s your situation?”
“It’s okay…” Zhou Yi lowered his eyes and said in a calm tone, “It’s not like she won’t come back after she has gone, so what should I get? I want to read a book, and I have some plans to catch up. I don’t have time to go to the airport?”
Tang Yuanzhou stopped holding the buns, and his expression was unprecedentedly solemn, “Xiao Jiu, you are going too far by talking like that. People who have nothing to do with Ming Kai and Xiao Hei know Mu Qinglin’s worries about you and the way he ran. Say “thank you”, if you don’t send it, you won’t send it. Wouldn’t it be too bad to put the picture in front of her? “
“Tang Yuanzhou!” Yang Ling kicked Tang Yuanzhou viciously under the table, “It’s not that you don’t know what kind of temper this guy is, and he can speak with such a stick? Besides, the college entrance examination is over after the new year, and the time is really tight. Is it wrong for her to hurry up?”
It was the first time that Zhou Yi saw Yang Ling and Tang Yuanzhou really quarreling after being in Buddha and Demon for so long. She was stunned for two seconds, and then realized that what she had just said hadn’t made sense, so she quickly stood up to smooth things over, “Don’t be angry, it’s all my fault, I accidentally made a bit of a smack, and I apologize. Do you want to bow? Or just kneel? I’ll borrow a washboard!”
“Okay, you…” Yang Ling pressed Zhou Yi back, and said with a smile: “When you know you’re wrong, restrain yourself, or the people around you will offend you sooner or later.”
“Yeah, the word “restraint” has been engraved in my mind from today. “Zhou Yi raised his hand to swear, seeing from the corner of his eye that Tang Yuanzhou’s expression was still very bad, and said weakly: “Brother, I really know I was wrong. “
Tang Yuanzhou let out a “hum” and let go, “Apologize to Mu Qinglin if you have the ability.”
How is it possible, unless she is crazy, it is impossible for Mu Qinglin to know this, she is such a jerk.
She just didn’t know what disease she had.
call-
Zhou Yi let out a long breath, and couldn’t eat the buns anymore.
“Hey, push all the pictures you can push, so that Xiao Jiu can prepare for the exam with peace of mind.” Yang Ling suddenly thought of it.
Tang Yuanzhou nodded, “I’ll ask Xiao Hei to sort out the schedule later.”
“Keep the half-blade that I want at the end of the month, and I can finish the painting in the tight time these few days.” Zhou Yi said casually.
Tang Yuanzhou glanced at her, “I can spare time to draw the picture, but why not send it to Mu Qinglin?”
Come again!
Did Tang Yuanzhou belong to an Onmyoji in his previous life?
All right, she just has no conscience, but besides this, isn’t that dream still playing a demon?
It was so exciting.
Let alone let her face Mu Qinglin directly, just hearing this name makes her scalp tingle.
Zhou Yi couldn’t wait, put down his chopsticks quickly and said, “I’m full, let’s go to the studio first.”
“You haven’t finished eating a single bun!” Yang Ling shouted Zhou Yi from behind to push away the chair and leave, but the shout got farther and farther away.
Zhou Yixin said that if he didn’t run away, he was going to die. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he saw Mu Qinglin standing at the door with his car key and mobile phone hooked up. He didn’t know how long he stood there.
Zhou Yi looked at her, his mind suddenly went blank.
But Mu Qinglin came over as if he didn’t hear anything, and said, “I thought you fell asleep in the car last night, so you probably don’t know that I’m leaving today, so come here and talk to you. I might have to stay longer this time. I won’t be able to accompany you to the follow-up consultation for a few days. But I have already said hello to the other side, you don’t have to wait when you go, just go directly to the consultation room.”
After Mu Qinglin finished speaking, a gust of cold wind suddenly rushed in at the door.
Zhou Yi looked up and saw Xiao Hei walking in shaking the raindrops on his clothes.
“When it rains this season, it will be winter in seconds.” Xiao Hei said tremblingly.
Zhou Yi’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly went to see Mu Qinglin.
Sure enough, there were traces of raindrops on her hair and shoulders.
Zhou Yi clenched his hands, feeling a chill in his heart.
Mu Qinglin’s house is between Buddha Demon and the airport, so she made this trip all in vain. But she still came, just because she pretended to be asleep yesterday with a guilty conscience, and came here to tell her this, and made arrangements for her absence for the next few days, but what the **** did she do? !
Who kindly kills her with a knife.
Zhou Yi thought desperately.
“Why this expression?” Mu Qinglin said with a smile, “Don’t you tell me everything, it’s not like I’m gone and never come back.”
“Sister, please stop talking, okay?” Zhou Yi’s mentality completely collapsed, “I just got kicked in the head by a donkey, and my words are unscrupulous, you have the right to treat me as a fart, okay?”
Mu Qinglin let out a “huh” without changing the smile on his face, “It’s still raining outside, even if you want to give it away, I dare not agree.”
“Read carefully, I’m leaving.” Mu Qinglin said.
Seeing Zhou Yi step forward subconsciously, Mu Qinglin put his foot against her shoe toe, and stopped him: “Stay indoors, it’s rare that you haven’t caught a cold for so long, don’t come out to make trouble.”
Zhou Yi looked at the calm-eyed woman in front of him without saying a word.
She remembered that Mu Qinglin was not so “soft” before, she said something, she must answer, what’s wrong now?
Like cotton, she poked it with a knife, and she was able to pay attention to every point in detail.
Confronting Mu Qinglin like this is better than going head-to-head. It’s all because of internal injuries, and…
Accidentally hurting the other party by eight hundred, but she herself seemed to have lost eighty thousand, and her heart was beating so fast that it was about to be twisted together.
“Let’s go…” Mu Qinglin raised his hand.
Zhou Yi’s lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn’t say anything unnecessary, only responded with an “um”.
After watching Mu Qinglin go out, Zhou Yi was stunned for a long time.
All kinds of scenes between the two of them from their acquaintance to the present quickly flashed through her mind, tit-for-tat, being crushed unilaterally, or arrogantly blocking Mu Qinglin.
Zhou Yi seems to have a direction in his mind as to where he will “go” in the end. But that direction was too “bizarre” for her, and she couldn’t resist the consciousness that she always wanted to avoid. Therefore, the more you resist, the more chaotic you feel, and the more chaotic you are, the easier it is for some things to take advantage of the opportunity.
A moment of clarity flashed by, and Zhou Yi shouted: “Impossible!”
“What’s impossible?” Tang Yuanzhou asked from behind.
Zhou Yi heard the sound like waking up from a dream, quickly suppressed the messy thoughts in his head, turned and walked into the store.
Tang Yuanzhou called her from behind and said, “Is the day after tomorrow your parents’ memorial day?”
Zhou Yi stopped his messy steps, turned his back and said, “Mmm…”
“Will you go back this year? If so, I…”
“No reply…” Zhou Yi interrupted.
Tang Yuanzhou hesitated to speak for a moment, but said nothing.
For the next whole day, Zhou Yi faced the board without drawing a single line.
When the shop was closed at night, she took the initiative to take all the garbage up and down.
Originally, she wanted to use this to distract her attention, but as soon as she walked into the alley, the dim light inside, the mottled old walls, and various familiar scenes immediately brought back those images that made her blush, and she could even find Mu Qinglin’s shoulder at a glance. Which brick is it on.
The cold wind was mixed with the messy breathing, pouring wantonly into Zhou Yi’s chest, she threw down the trash and ran away, and in the next few days, she didn’t leave the door without going out, as if she had grown up in the studio.
Finally handing in the work, Zhou Yi was driven out by Tang Yuanzhou with a mop and let the wind go for a long time.
Later that night, she read until the next morning.
After finally getting rid of the messy things in her mind, Zhou Yi was about to sleep beautifully, but suddenly received a WeChat message from Mu Zipei: [Xiao Jiu, come out to play, two days and one night, the last carnival before the college entrance examination! 】
Zhou Yi subconsciously wanted to refuse, paused halfway through typing, deleted and resent: [What arrangement? 】
Mu Zipei replied in seconds: [You can bring someone here, don’t worry about the rest. 】
Zhou Yi: [Where to take it? 】
Mu Zipei sent a location to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi washed her face and set off directly. When she arrived, she found out that it was a family courtyard of a research institute. Mu Zipei was sitting on an exaggerated suitcase that could hold a cow and flicked her mobile phone. Wang Yang stood guard next to her with a look of enjoyment.
Seeing Zhou Yi approaching, Wang Yang immediately waved to her, “Zhou Yi, here!”
Mu Zipei raised her head upon hearing the sound, “Xiao Jiu, Happy New Year!”
“Happy New Year.” Zhou Yi shrugged his shoulders to avoid the cold wind, casually glanced at the family courtyard, and asked, “Your family lives here?”
Mu Zipei, “That’s right, my dad works in the sixth school, so do Wang Xiaoyang’s parents, as well as Xu Chi and Wang Susu. Several people in our class are children of the sixth school.”
“My parents are ordinary workers, and Peipei’s father is a senior research engineer. He can be ranked among the top ten experts in the country in applied optics. His administrative position is also quite high, deputy director.” Wang Yang added beside him.
Mu Zipei glared at him, and said, “Do you understand that you keep a low profile?”
Wang Yang, “I understand, I understand.”
Zhou Yi remained silent, his eyes fixed on the boulevard directly opposite the gate of the family courtyard.
Before, I helped Mu Qinglin call a substitute driver, but the address she gave was only to the hotel at the intersection. So she subconsciously thought that Mu Qinglin’s family was an ordinary family in the old city, but she didn’t expect the conditions to be so good.
“Zhou Yi, what do your parents do? It seems that you have never heard of it.” Wang Yang couldn’t provoke Mu Zipei, so he had nothing to ask.
It had been a long time since no one had mentioned this question to Zhou Yi, she heard it out of the blue, and it took her a long time to react.
The moment he reacted, a stiff, dusty nerve in his brain was jerked violently.
“Ordinary people…” Zhou Yi said.
“The same, they are all ordinary people.” Wang Yang nodded and continued to ask: “Are they also working in Jiangping?”
Zhou Yi, “No, I’ve been dead for two years.”
“Dead?!” Wang Yang was startled.
So did Mu Zipei, she kicked Wang Yang angrily and said, “Why do you talk so much!”
Wang Yang quickly apologized, “I was wrong. Didn’t I think that sister Yanyan brought Zhou Yi to school on the first day, and she was always picked up by sister Yanyan after that, and I never saw anyone else, so I was a little curious. Let’s It’s so late after school, where are the parents, alas, I won’t talk, don’t do anything!”
Mu Zipei chased and beat Wang Yang.
Zhou Yi stood beside him motionless.
Tired from beating, Mu Zipei ran back angrily and said to Zhou Yi: “Xiao Jiu, Wang Xiaoyang has been annoying people when he speaks since he was a child, don’t be as knowledgeable as him.”
Zhou Yi didn’t think there was anything wrong, she was actually more curious, “Who is Sister Yanyan?”
Mu Zipei immediately laughed, “My sister, Mu Ziyan, that’s what everyone I know calls her.”
Oh…
It was the first time she heard this name today, and it was also the first time she knew that she had such a powerful father.
For children from Kochi families, their interpersonal relationships must also be limited to the same level.
No wonder An Xiang said that the people around Mu Qinglin were all very powerful, and her social circle was established since she was a child.
People in this circle may not be as capable as Mu Qinglin, but they must all have decent family backgrounds and social connections.
decent…
Zhou Yi had this thing before, but later, it was hard to talk about it.
