Take It Easy

Chapter 56 – Care

Sister, do you have, do you have a little hi…

Zhou Yi’s mind was buzzing, she looked at the stranger passing by dumbly, and heard herself asking Mu Qinglin inexplicably, “Are you not angry with me?”

Mu Qinglin shook his head slightly, “It’s not your fault, it’s because I was too impatient.”

Also too conceited.

He thought that the conversation with Du Rong had counted everything that could be counted, but in fact it only left a way out for himself.

She can break jars and smash them, but Zhou Yi and Mu Zipei can’t.

Coming out of the office, Mu Zipei’s words were so obvious that she should have found a way to pay attention to Du Wenfei at that time, but because she was not in the right state during this time. Because the work progress is not as good as before, I often work overtime, so I put this matter behind me.

Sure enough, she was just like what she had said to Fu Xiao before—unable to live up to expectations, unable to control even a little emotion caused by illness, so why talk about liking?

Like is to give that person a sense of security.

Mu Qinglin was so regretful that she couldn’t add more regrets, her cold fingers penetrated through Zhou Yi’s hair, and carefully rubbed the place where she hit just now, and asked, “Does it still hurt?”

Zhou Yi regained consciousness from the blankness, shock, guilt and the touch of being distressed were rampant in her chest, she finally couldn’t hold back, and cried out on Mu Qinglin’s shoulder.

Those depressed and wronged emotions entangled like dense water plants, trying to drag Mu Qinglin to the bottom of the water, she tried to stand up straight, comforting Zhou Yi over and over again.

The clothes on Mu Qinglin’s shoulders were soaked quickly.

Zhou Yi’s emotions did not calm down at all.

She was really scared.

Afraid of everything.

He was most afraid that Mu Qinglin would stop talking to her from now on.

It used to be like this.

All the good relationships fell apart overnight, and no matter what she did, she couldn’t bring them back.

Zhou Yi clutched Mu Qinglin’s clothes tightly, choked up and called her, “Sister—”

Mu Qinglin responded softly: “Mmm…”

Zhou Yi, “Can you stop ignoring me?”

Mu Qinglin’s throat was swollen, and it took him a long time before he could force a laugh, and said, “What are you talking about, it’s for no reason, why would I ignore you?”

“But I…”

“You are great!” Mu Qinglin interrupted firmly, “You are the smartest and bravest girl I have ever met, but you are too disobedient.”

“I asked you to wait, why didn’t you wait?” Mu Qing asked in fear, “Even if you really can’t help it, why don’t you ask Tang Yuanzhou to come with you?”

“I want to find you…” Zhou Yi’s tears that had just subsided a little came out again, “I also called brother, but at that time I had already run halfway, and it would take a long time for them to come, I was afraid that something might happen to Pepe. “

“What about yourself?”

“…” She didn’t have time to think about it.

Mu Qinglin thought for her, “Something really happened to you, Tang Yuanzhou and Yang Ling, your friends in the store, your classmates, and me. Xiao Jiu, we will never feel at ease for the rest of our lives.”

Zhou Yi knows now, but she really had no choice at the time, “Pepe is your sister, I…”

This hesitant explanation made Mu Qinglin enlightened.

In the end, Zhou Yi is still for her.

Where is she worth?

Mu Qinglin pulled Zhou Yi away, let her lean against the wall, then bent down slightly, supported her shoulders with both hands, looked straight into her eyes and said, “Xiao Jiu, I want you to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, , you must put yourself first.”

This is it again.

Last time it was because of lingering fear, what about this time?

Zhou Yi’s wet eyelashes trembled slightly, “Why?”

Mu Qinglin looked at Zhou Yi silently, and was completely defeated by the glaring injury on her face after a long time.

“Because I care about you too.” Mu Qinglin said.

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Mu Qinglin said he cared about her?

Although caring doesn’t mean liking her, it at least shows that she already has a decisive weight in Mu Qinglin’s heart.

Zhou Yi was ecstatic.

When she was going to express her joy to Mu Qinglin, she accidentally knocked on the injury on her shoulder, she gasped in pain, her body reflexively bowed forward, her forehead rested on Mu Qinglin’s shoulder and gasped for breath.

After receiving the order from the office, Fu Hui hurried over only to see Mu Qing present, and he walked over quickly and asked, “Sister, how is Peipei?”

“It’s not a big problem.” Mu Qinglin said.

“That’s good…” Fu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, “Where’s Zhou Yi?”

Mu Qinglin looked down at Zhou Yi, who was lying in front of her, and wanted to speak, but was preempted by her who had already stood up straight, “It’s okay…”

Fu Hui was astonished.

The last time I saw this one, she was dragged like 2,580,000 yuan, and she dared to talk to Yao Xiaoqi’s mother while she was still in the prison.

Fu Hui thought of the severity of this incident, and said with a serious expression: “Zhou Yi, we have some questions to confirm with you about what happened tonight.”

“Not now…” Mu Qinglin stood sideways in front of Zhou Yi, with a firm attitude, “She is like this, if she doesn’t rest, will she survive?”

“sister…”

“sister-“

Fu Hui and Zhou Yi spoke at the same time, the former was helpless, while the latter was soft.

Mu Qinglin felt her hand hanging by her side was pulled by Zhou Yi, she turned her head and looked at Zhou Yi’s still red eyes, “I can do it…”

Mu Qinglin frowned, obviously she didn’t want Zhou Yi to force her to hold on, but her eyes didn’t back down, she had already made up her mind.

Mu Qinglin had no choice but to let go, she held Zhou Yi’s hand back, rubbed her thumb against her soft palm, and said worriedly: “If you can’t hold on anymore, tell me in time, I’ll be waiting for you right next to you.”

Now when Zhou Yi heard Mu Qinglin speak in such a tone, his eye sockets became sore.

It was okay that no one was there just now, but now that Fu Hui stared straight at him, I feel very ashamed.

She lowered her head to avoid Mu Qinglin’s gaze, and agreed.

Mu Qinglin walked to the side.

She called Mu Zhenghuai first, and reconfirmed that what Mu Zipei suffered was only a skin trauma.

That’s good, she doesn’t have to worry about which side she favors.

“Dad, there are you and auntie at Pepe’s place. They can take care of everything. The other girl is alone now. I want to accompany her for a while before going to see Pepe.” Mu Qinglin said hesitantly.

Mu Zhenghuai agreed after a short pause.

The two quickly ended the call.

Mu Qinglin put the phone in his pocket, and looked up at Zhou Yi who was not far away.

Having known each other for almost half a year, it was the first time she saw Zhou Yi working so hard to cooperate, clearly unable to stand up straight against the wall…

Mu Qing’s emotions that had not been calmed down for a while began to stir again. She closed her eyes, listened to her own heartbeat, and tried her best to calm it down.

Suddenly hearing Tang Yuanzhou’s voice, Mu Qinglin settled down, opened his eyes, and saw him walking quickly and said, “You are here. Don’t worry, both of you are fine.”

Tang Yuanzhou had just returned after paying the fee, still holding various documents and inspection results in his hand.

Mu Qinglin glanced at it, feeling uncomfortable, “How is Xiao Jiu?”

Tang Yuanzhou, “The bones are not broken, this is the best result.”

Okay?

Mu Qinglin didn’t feel it at all.

Other injuries will hurt too.

Especially the dull wound hidden in the flesh, no one can see it, but the pain is the most real.

“Are you here to see your sister? She’s fine, and she’s dealing with trauma inside.” Tang Yuanzhou pointed in the direction.

Mu Qinglin gave a “hmm” and said, “My dad and the others have already gone in to have a look.”

“I’ll go and see Xiaojiu too.” Tang Yuanzhou was about to walk in, but was stopped by Mu Qinglin in time, “She is cooperating with the police for questioning.”

Tang Yuanzhou followed Mu Qinglin’s line of sight, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, “The fact that the bones are not broken doesn’t mean it’s okay, can’t we just take a breather?”

Mu Qinglin thought so too.

But this girl is stubborn, who can control her?

Tang Yuanzhou leaned next to Mu Qinglin and waited with her.

Halfway through, Tang Yuanzhou received a call from Yang Ling asking about the situation, and Tang Yuanzhou went outside to answer it.

She has been training in other provinces for the past few days, and she just found out that something happened to Zhou Yi.

Mu Qinglin was left alone again, she took out the candy box hesitantly, and poured a pill into the palm of her hand.

Lu He refused to let her eat more, saying that the effect was poor and she would become dependent. Once she stopped, the situation might rebound.

But if she didn’t eat, she might not be able to take care of Zhou Yi tonight.

Mu Qinglin gritted her teeth, raised her hand, poured the medicine into her mouth, and swallowed dryly.

After about ten minutes, Fu Hui’s questioning ended.

Mu Qinglin came over and stood next to Zhou Yi, holding her hand and letting her use her strength to support her body that was always about to fall.

She moves naturally and skillfully, as if she has done it countless times in the past.

Zhou Yi pursed her lips, looked down at the hands they held together, and the dull pain in her body gradually became dull.

“Xiaohui, is it convenient for Fang to chat?” Mu Qinglin said.

Fu Hui whispered a few words to his colleagues, and they turned and walked outside.

“Sister, what do you want to talk about?” Fu Hui asked.

Mu Qinglin got straight to the point, “What are you going to do with today’s matter?”

Fu Hui couldn’t reveal the specifics of the case, but solemnly replied to Mu Qinglin, “Strictly…”

“Weibo handles the case”, if they want to be strict and fast, they can’t do it.

Mu Qinglin knew this well, but she still felt that it wasn’t enough.

“Du Wenfei’s father is Du Rong, do you know that?” Mu Qinglin said.

“I know…” Fu Hui was suffering from a headache, “The first rank of officials crushes people to death, and our director is almost worried to death.”

“Why did you think of starting a live broadcast at that time?” Fu Hui’s words suddenly pointed to Zhou Yi. He asked with a smile, his tone helpless. It was obvious that he was talking casually with an acquaintance in private, and had no other meaning.

Because Zhou Yi was not familiar with Fu Hui, he could only hear the blame inside.

She glanced at Mu Qinglin from the corner of her eye, and remained silent.

Mu Qinglin noticed Zhou Yi’s emotional change, and said loudly, “She wants to protect herself and others, this is the most effective way.”

“Indeed, how long has it been? The Weibo of the Jiangping Public Security Bureau is almost overwhelmed by netizens.” Fu Hui said.

“Xiaohui, when the matter has come to this point, you must give an explanation to the public about Du Wenfei’s matter. If you give an explanation to the public, you will definitely offend Du Rong. It is impossible for you to handle this matter satisfactorily. “

“We are the people’s police, and we will only stand with the people.”

“Well, though, maybe you can make it pretty.”

“What’s the meaning?”

Mu Qinglin described to Fu Hui all the things that Du Rong mentioned in the attached middle school, and asked him to judge for himself whether Du Rong was Du Wenfei’s umbrella, and whether it was because of him that Du Wenfei was able to force his classmates After a classmate dropped out of school and forced the vice-principal’s daughter to jump off the building, she stayed in class one safe and sound, enjoying various honors.

Besides, there was one more thing she didn’t say at the time.

“My dad and his institute are currently cooperating with the Eighth Institute on a project of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. At the wine bureau last month, someone drank too much and said that they had given money to Du Rong for their children.

This kind of thing has one and two, and it cannot be an example. Don’t you often say that the public security, procuratorate and law do not separate families? You can check with your family. “

The reason why Mu Qinglin didn’t tell Du Rong about this matter that day was because he was afraid that Du Wenfei’s affair with greed was not of the same nature, and he was afraid that he would jump over the wall in a hurry.

It’s not necessary now.

Zhou Yi’s live broadcast has brought Du Wenfei and Du Rong to the cusp. She can’t stop it, but she can make the waves a little bigger.

The security that was exchanged before is like a landmine, which may explode with a random kick.

Only by solving the problem fundamentally can she really feel at ease.

“Sister, what you said is serious, I have to go back and report first.” Fu Hui said: “I may ask you to come over later.”

It was Mu Qinglin’s duty, “At any time, and also, don’t startle the snake.” Mu Qinglin reminded.

Fu Hui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Sister, although you are a reporter, in a sense, your profession is close to ours. But you can’t worry about me just because I have been a policeman longer than you have been a reporter.”

“It’s not that I’m worried about you…” Mu Qinglin’s voice sank, “It’s because I’ve already suffered a loss on this once.”

When Mu Qinglin was speaking, Zhou Yi’s hand suddenly became tight.

Zhou Yi looked up at Mu Qinglin, the expression on her face was unprecedentedly solemn.

The loss she mentioned refers to what happened tonight.

In connection with the previous sentence “It’s not your fault, I was too impatient”, Zhou Yi can almost conclude.

But she didn’t think there was anything wrong with Mu Qinglin. On the contrary, in order to help her, Mu Qinglin threw himself out in front of Du Rong. Wasn’t she afraid of Du Rong’s revenge?

Zhou Yi had mixed emotions in her heart, anger, worry, touch, gratitude, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined. She couldn’t figure out what she was thinking at all. Don’t open your hands.

Fu Hui has another client—Mu Zipei who wants to ask, so he can’t wait too long. He called his colleagues, called them over, and said to Mu Qinglin, “Sister, where’s Peipei? It’s just a matter of routine.”

As soon as Fu Hui finished speaking, a figure flashed past his eyes quickly, ready to hug Zhou Yi, but Mu Qing stopped him in time, “Xiao Jiu has injuries on her body, try not to touch her.”

Mu Zipei’s eyes were red, and she couldn’t stop crying while holding Zhou Yi’s hand.

After a while, Li Chengqi and Mu Zhenghuai followed, their expressions relaxed.

When he came back from the phone call, Tang Yuanzhou, who was standing aside and watching, still had a sad face.

Such a stark contrast made Mu Qinglin feel aggrieved for Zhou Yi.

It has nothing to do with what happened in Hongmen Lane, but Li Chengqi’s push.

Even if she was unintentional, she still magnified the fact that Zhou Yi was alone in that second countless times.

She should have been praised by all.

Just because there was only one person, and because no one spoke for her, no one stood beside her, she was completely ignored at that second and suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

She could not care about it, or even feel guilty instead, but Mu Qinglin couldn’t.

From the moment she sent Zhou Yi to the attached middle school and promised to pick her up from school, and let the jealous Mu Zipei go to find her father, her heart has already been inclined towards Zhou Yi.

Although she is not a good sister, she can no longer be a bad woman and ignore the grievances of the girl who likes her so much that she almost dies.

“Dad, auntie, this is Zhou Yi.” Mu Qinglin said, “Thanks to her tonight.”

Zhou Yi was startled, and quickly pulled Mu Qinglin’s hand back, trying to get her to stop saying that.

She protected Mu Zipei tonight, but wasn’t the original reason why this happened because she had a head-on conflict with Du Wenfei on the spur of the moment?

“I was the one who got Pepe involved.” Zhou Yi said in a low voice.

Mu Qinglin turned around quickly, almost thinking that she had heard it wrong, and after a long silence, she tried her best to slow down her tone, “Xiao Jiu, you can be responsible in life, but you can’t take everything on yourself, otherwise the people around you will be very tired .”

“Yes!” Mu Zipei sniffed, and said to her parents in a murmur, “Xiao Jiu has been very protective of me in class, and every time Du Wenfei troubles me, she always takes the lead for me. What happened tonight, and She has nothing to do with it, it’s Du Wenfei who is bad!”

Li Chengqi took a step forward and said sincerely: “Thank you, auntie, really, if it wasn’t for you, auntie might not know what to do now.”

Zhou Yi couldn’t bear it, and stuck behind Mu Qinglin awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Mu Qinglin couldn’t bear to embarrass her, so she changed the topic unilaterally, “Dad, Auntie, Xiaohui and his colleagues have some questions to ask Peipei, you can cooperate with her.”

The two nodded in agreement, and were quickly invited to another place by Fu Hui.

Mu Qinglin turned his head and asked Tang Yuanzhou, “Does Xiao Jiu stay in the hospital for observation tonight?”

Tang Yuanzhou, “I want to…”

“I’ll accompany her…”

“Okay, you must be more convenient than me as a big man.”

After Tang Yuanzhou left, Mu Qinglin had a detailed communication with the doctor on duty, and then accompanied Zhou Yi back to the ward.

Zhou Yi lay quietly. After a long time, she still couldn’t hold back her words, “Even if I’m right, you don’t need to say those things to Pepe’s parents. At this time, it’s best if they can listen to it. , maybe I will blame you for speaking for me in turn.”

Mu Qinglin was leaning against the window to reply to the message, when he heard the sound, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Yi, “Don’t tell me, was that the end when you were pushed?”

“Auntie didn’t see it.”

“I saw.”

A few short words turned Zhou Yi’s peaceful mood upside down.

For no reason, she recalled Mu Qinglin’s previous “care” and the conversation with Fu Hui.

If it’s just ordinary friends, does she really need to do this?

Zhou Yi looked at Mu Qinglin who had lowered his head to look at the screen again, and some thoughts began to be uncontrollable, “Sister, you have, do you have any joy…”

“I’ll answer the phone, you go to bed first.” Mu Qinglin interrupted, and walked out of the ward quickly.

In fact, there was no call coming in from her mobile phone, but she heard Zhou Yi’s intentions, afraid that she would be sad if she couldn’t answer, and even more afraid, even more afraid of what she really answered.

Tonight’s ups and downs are not limited to Zhou Yi and Mu Zipei…

Mu Qinglin stayed outside for a long time, and opened the door quietly until the dead of night.

She was holding a folded note in her hand, and while Zhou Yi was asleep, she gently stuffed it into her palm.

—

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Yi was awakened by the sound of the doctor’s rounds.

She slept a little dazedly, forgot what happened yesterday, and grinned her teeth in pain at the same time as her habitual stretching, and when she finally recovered, she didn’t see Mu Qinglin in the ward.

Zhou Yi felt an indescribable loss in his heart.

I didn’t ask the question I wanted to ask, and the person disappeared.

Her day started so boringly.

Zhou Yi wanted to pull up the quilt to cover up his resentment.

Hearing the sound of the cloth rubbing against the paper, she moved and found a note from under her shoulder.

Zhou Yi opened it suspiciously.

There is only chatting and counting, but it can directly lift the depression she was about to bury to the cloud.

[Xiao Jiu, happy birthday. Time is short, there is nothing to give you, so I leave it blank.

When you think of what you want one day, bring it to me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to help you achieve it. Validity period: permanent]

It was Mu Qinglin’s impromptu decision to give Zhou Yi such a birthday present.

If it wasn’t for what happened yesterday, Zhou Yi’s 20th birthday might not really be a part of her.

But it happened, still in such a drastic way.

She couldn’t make up for Zhou Yi’s hurt, let alone give her a clear answer to her intentions, so she could only pin her hopes on the future, hoping that Zhou Yi would pay her back once and for all when she needed her help.

Zhou Yi didn’t know Mu Qinglin’s thoughts at all, she could only be sure that this was the best, heaviest and grandest gift she had ever received in her life, it could make her forget all troubles and pains when reading it.

Especially the moment when Mu Qing came in from the outside, covered in morning light.

A few lines of poems she had read in the required reading books for the new curriculum standard came to her mind: the morning light has come, and it will wash your soul overnight.

Mu Qinglin walked in and stood in her eyes, which were obviously brighter than the morning light that could cleanse the soul.

She suddenly wanted to confess something to her.

If she confesses, Mu Qinglin will still treat her as before, and Fu Xiao’s reminder – don’t shake Mu Qinglin easily before making a complete decision, probably has a conclusion.

“Sister…” Zhou Yi called out to Mu Qinglin who was standing at the end of the bed unpacking the breakfast bag.

Mu Qinglin turned her head, “Huh?”

Zhou Yi, “Can I tell you a secret? About me before I came to Hongmen Lane.”

The author has something to say:

I wrote it in the early hours of the morning yesterday, and I was a little confused. I will save the typos and fix them another day.

Note: The morning light has come to cleanse your soul overnight – Bing Xin “Starry Spring Water”
