Take It Easy

Chapter 46 – Shake

Xiao Jiu, you still don’t know what kind of person Mu Qinglin is, how dare you like her so much?

It’s not that Mu Qinglin doesn’t know how to ask questions, she doesn’t need to ask at all, she knows the reason too well – at first it was Zhou Yi who didn’t want to be the worst of her friends, but now, it’s just five words: because I like her.

On the day of going to school, Xie Fei said that Zhou Yi was a person with a good memory, but Mu Qinglin didn’t think so, she was still stubborn, she clearly understood the rejection hidden in her sentence “Normal love can be talked about”, and she went forward so seriously What are you rushing to do?

Compared to the silent tossing around now, Mu Qinglin hoped that Zhou Yi would be sharp and noisy, which was in line with her personality.

But she doesn’t make trouble.

If you don’t make trouble, Mu Qinglin will be even more uncertain.

Mu Qinglin remembers that Li Chengqi likes to describe Mu Zipei with the phrase “if something goes wrong, there must be a monster”. Since childhood, Mu Zipei will become very sensible whenever he commits a crime.

She was sure that Zhou Yi had done nothing wrong, but her reaction to the result of being rejected was abnormal.

Mu Qinglin has tried to guess the reason, apart from the concealment of the secret love itself and the inferiority complex revealed in Zhou Yi’s sentence “I don’t want to be the worst among your friends”, she is most afraid of things that Zhou Yi has not mentioned related to the past.

Zhou Yi said that she took the initiative to hide in Hongmen Lane.

Tang Yuanzhou said that when Yang Ling found Zhou Yi at the garbage dump, a few small wounds on her neck almost killed her.

Xie Fei also said that no one has ever bullied Zhou Yi.

Then why did she take the initiative to hide in Hongmen Lane?

The contradiction in the closed loop made it impossible for Mu Qinglin to accurately determine his attitude towards Zhou Yi.

I’m afraid that she will love me more and more when I’m close, and I’m afraid that some unknown things will be affected by her when I’m far away.

She couldn’t find a compromise, so she could only follow Zhou Yi’s feedback step by step after expressing her attitude tactfully.

She called sister, she answered;

She refused to pick her up, and she didn’t want to keep her.

After more than a month of calm, Mu Qinglin mistakenly thought that she had seen through it—Zhou Yi had done a good job of “letting go”. Today, she suddenly received a call from Mu Zipei, and she realized that Zhou Yi had no idea at all. Stop competing with yourself.

Then should her attitude towards Zhou Yi be further away, or closer?

A little closer, and the previous work may fall short.

No matter how far away, will the person who notifies her next time to accompany her become the official number of a certain hospital?

Mu Qinglin frowned, with tangled emotions in his eyes.

Xiao Jiu, you really gave me a difficult question that has no standard answer.

…

It was past noon after Zhou Yi got the injection, Mu Qinglin asked Zhu Li to ask her for leave, and asked her to go back to Buddha Demon to rest.

Before leaving, they visited the teaching building.

Zhou Yi was waiting downstairs, and Mu Qinglin went up to pack her schoolbag.

When Mu Zipei saw Mu Qinglin coming in, she quickly put down her pen and asked her nervously, “How is Xiao Jiu?”

Mu Qinglin bent down to take something from Zhou Yi’s desk pocket, “It’s okay, go back and rest for a long time to check the situation, if there is no problem, you can go to school normally tomorrow.”

“That’s good, I was really scared to death today.” Mu Zipei patted his chest and said, “You can tell Xiao Jiu later that her current grades are completely enough to get into A University, so she doesn’t have to work so hard.”

Mu Qinglin raised her head, “Xiao Jiu wants to be admitted to A University?”

“Yes, she said it herself.”

“Hmm…” University A is a good school, but it’s far away from Jiangping.

“Sister?” Mu Zipei shook his hand in front of Mu Qinglin’s eyes, and said, “What are you thinking?”

Mu Qinglin lowered her eyes and continued to pack her things, “It’s nothing…”

“Oh, you must remember to tell Xiaojiu that she only slept for three or four hours every night during this period, and she was doing problems during the day except for eating and going to the toilet. No one else could stand it.”

Mu Zipei glanced at Mu Qinglin quickly, and muttered in a low voice, “You don’t pick her up yet, she will turn pale every day after squeezing the bus.”

Mu Qinglin paused when she pulled the zipper, and asked Mu Zipei, “Did Xiao Jiu vomit again?”

“A few times, I felt that the flesh on her face was about to vomit.” Mu Zipei’s eyes suddenly became puzzled after speaking, “Didn’t these Xiaojiu tell you? You know each other first, and the relationship should be better I’m close.”

This time is far away.

It started after the “sister”.

The longest time, they had no WeChat interaction for a whole week.

“You study hard, I’ll send Xiao Jiu back first.” Mu Qinglin said.

Mu Zipei, “Yeah, tell Xiao Jiu, I’ll go to the shop to see her after school.”

“it is good…”

When Mu Qinglin packed up his things and came down, Zhou Yi was sitting on the concrete steps downstairs in a daze.

Mu Qinglin came over, pressed on her head, and asked, “Is it cool?”

The usual tone seemed to be Zhou Yi’s personal dream of what happened in the recent period. She forced herself to return to reality, and said in that usual annoying tone: “Nonsense, the concrete floor in the shade must be cold.”

Mu Qinglin said, “Then get up quickly.”

“Excuse me…” Zhou Yi softly half-raised his arms and said, “I’m still dizzy and can’t stand up.”

Zhou Yi, who was talking, had his hands hanging down naturally, with protruding wrist bones and thin long fingers. There was an extra bruise on the fair skin on the back of his hand, and a pinhole in it pierced Mu Qinglin’s eyes.

“Farther” and “closer” began to pull in her mind.

The former said: “Since the decision has been made, don’t do anything that will make her want to move.”

The latter retorted, “She is still ill, and her request is not excessive at all.”

…

“Hey…” Zhou Yi didn’t get a response, so he touched Mu Qinglin with his hand, looked up at her and said, “Pull it, I really can’t stand up.”

Zhou Yi’s complexion was still pale, he was short of breath when he spoke, and his temples were stained with sweat from the way he walked from the infirmary.

Mu Qinglin frowned, subconsciously grabbing Zhou Yi’s hand before it fell down.

On an April day, Zhou Yi’s wrist was as cold as a popsicle, and the skin of Mu Qinglin’s palm was frozen inch by inch.

After a pause for a few seconds, Mu Qinglin used his hands to carefully pull Zhou Yi up.

Zhou Yi didn’t lie, she was still dizzy, the moment she stood up, the dizziness doubled, she hurriedly withdrew her hand from Mu Qinglin, bent down and propped herself on her knees, gasping for breath.

The strong discomfort forced her to cry physiologically, and she couldn’t control it at all.

That look looks like a terminally ill person struggling with fate, but failed miserably…

For a moment, the balance in Mu Qinglin’s mind tilted towards “closer”, and she walked towards Zhou Yi uncontrollably.

The second Zhou Yi saw Mu Qinglin from the corner of his eyes, he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and said, “Don’t look at me, it’s too embarrassing.”

Mu Qinglin was unmoved, the bright sunlight at noon had already illuminated the wavering in her eyes so that there was nothing to hide.

She stretched out her hand to Zhou Yi again and said, “I’ll take advantage of you again.”

Zhou Yi looked up, her eyes were red, “What’s cheap?”

Mu Qing was silent, turned around under Zhou Yi’s blank gaze, bent her legs, pulled her onto her back, and carried her on her back.

Zhou Yi’s mind was blanked by Mu Qinglin’s sudden action.

Seeing her familiar side face suddenly, Zhou Yi’s heart ached, and he was beaten back to his original shape after working hard for many days.

She couldn’t say those rejection words at all, but tentatively lay on Mu Qinglin’s back, pressed her chin on her shoulder and waited quietly, after confirming that she would not refuse, she quietly wrapped her arms around her neck.

—

After sending Zhou Yi back to Buddha Demon, Mu Qinglin returned to the stage without stopping.

When Cui Wenjing saw her appear, he immediately called her into the office with a dark face, and said in a stern tone: “What’s going on with you today?!”

Mu Qinglin, “I have something to do at the moment.”

“What is more important than you running up and down and working so hard to get the program approved by the station?!” Cui Wenjing became more and more excited as he said, “You don’t know what’s going on with our group? I’m about to retire now Let’s not talk about it, just like you ask for more than 20 days of leave at once after the new year, it is impossible for any leader to turn a blind eye to it!

I originally thought that you should do a good job with this documentary, as long as the ratings go up. No matter who takes my place, it is impossible to set the first three fires on you, but look what you have done? Months of hard work go to waste, not to mention the reputation of being irresponsible, is it worth it? “

“Whether it’s worth it or not.”

“You!” Cui Wenjing pointed at her angrily, and said bitterly: “You let me tell you what is good about you! Just before you entered the door, Lao Wang said that you are not a person who can’t tell the difference, it must be There was an omission in my arrangement that made it like this, I can’t even tell!”

“I’ll find Lao Wang to explain later.”

“Explain what explanation! You are looking for him just to scold him now, and in a few days, wait for him to calm down!”

Cui Wenjing’s words were obviously in favor of Mu Qinglin, she was grateful and sorry, “Don’t worry, I know the importance of the first phase, and I will personally monitor the whole process in the later work.”

“Your level is one of the best in the later stage. I’m not worried about this. It’s mainly because of the impact, alas…” Cui Wenjing sighed, “You were transferred by Lao Wang. Wang has a cup of retirement tea.”

“director…”

“I know what you want to say, hold back.” Cui Wenjing leaned back in the chair with a serious expression, “If you really don’t want to embarrass me, don’t want to disappoint Lao Wang, then try to move forward. There is only one person in this life. There are hurdles one after another, and if you don’t want to make it through, you will be trapped halfway. Xiaomu, none of us think it’s troublesome to plan for you, but the key still depends on how you choose.”

Mu Qinglin knew.

On New Year’s Eve, when Zhou Yi asked her to cheer, she had already compared the consequences of being content with the status quo, and felt that what Zhou Yi said was right, but her life was closely related to another word-backfired.

“By the way, Lao Wang said that he wanted to transfer you back to the news center. What do you think?” Cui Wenjing remembered and said, “You performed very well when you went abroad for follow-up visits. It was no problem to be seconded years ago. Lao Wang said that he had already borrowed With these two enthusiasms, I greeted the higher-ups, as long as you nod, you can go back at any time.”

Mu Qinglin’s calm expression changed, and his voice became low, “I can’t go back, and I don’t know if I can continue working here with you.”

“You…” Cui Wenjing hesitated to speak, pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, “Then let’s make this documentary well first.”

Mu Qinglin, “I will definitely not disappoint you.”

Cui Wenjing waved his hand, “I don’t have anything to do with you in the afternoon, I will submit an application for a business trip later, go back and rest directly.”

Mu Qinglin didn’t refuse.

After coming out of the stage, she drove directly back to her residence.

But instead of resting, sitting on the living room floor, drinking bottle after bottle.

After getting off work in the evening, Fu Xiao called Mu Qinglin and asked her where she was and if she needed help.

Mu Qinglin said: “At home…”

Fu Xiao heard that her voice was wrong, and said in a deep voice, “Have you been drinking?”

Mu Qinglin has the habit of drinking in the past two years, but only after get off work, and this is the first time Fu Xiao has seen such a situation like today when he drank until it was dark.

“Did something happen?” Fu Xiao asked anxiously.

Mu Qinglin was silent for a few seconds, then said with a smile, “No, I just suddenly found out that I’m worthless.”

The workplace is worrying, and when you go home, you have to be careful with your parents. Now even the relationship is sloppy. Without saying a word, some people’s lives can be disrupted. When they speak suddenly, that person knows the danger, but he is still willing to bow his head and give in. Quietly wrapped his arms around her neck.

What charm does she have to deserve her?

Ah…

Xiao Jiu, you still don’t know what kind of person Mu Qinglin is, how dare you like her so much?

She’s actually just a deserter, and…

ill.
