Take It Easy

Chapter 98 – Firm

Sister, do you have time tomorrow night? I want to talk to you for a while.

The WeChat login is successful, and the unread messages will be automatically updated.

Zhou Yi’s eyes were fixed on the screen, not daring to move away for a second.

In her mind, she kept fantasizing that the chat record with Mu Qinglin would be constantly refreshed, and the number of unread messages would continue to increase, maybe too many for the little red dot to display, or…

After the update was over, Zhou Yi’s tense gaze froze.

She only received the verification code sent by Mu Zhenghuai and Yan Chao just now, and nothing else.

It seems to be like this, unread messages will only be kept for 3 days, after which they will never be received again.

No matter how many WeChat messages Mu Qinglin sent her in the past five years, and how many thoughts were hidden in them, she couldn’t see them all.

Disappointment is momentary, but the guilt behind disappointment is longer and heavier than anything Zhou Yi has ever experienced.

She was so self-righteous that Mu Qinglin talked to herself for so many years. She thought that the Internet would have memories, but in the end, no one knew how uncomfortable she felt when she said those words.

The feeling of suffocation brought by guilt is constantly peeling away the entangled thoughts in Zhou Yi’s mind, like peeling skin and bones, and there is no pain in his body.

Soon, the complete and clear strand was placed in front of her—she would not be fine without you.

Zhou Yi’s internal organs vibrated, his thumb uncontrollably pointed to the contact person, he clicked on Mu Qinglin’s business card, clicked into the input box, and finally the keyboard popped up.

“Zhou Yi, do it after you’re sure.” Mu Zhenghuai said suddenly.

Zhou Yi’s trembling fingers stopped, looked up at Mu Zhenghuai, and heard him say: “People who are always strong are more afraid of disappointment than those who are always in disappointment. So do it after you are sure, don’t pull her up impulsively.” , and suddenly let her go and let her fall back. Last time, she was able to stand up on her own because she still had thoughts in her heart, once again, what does she have?”

Possibly, ashamed?

Zhou Yi’s breath froze, and she looked down to see the “sister” who had lost half of the keyboard, and withdrew her hand in shock.

When Mu Zhenghuai saw this, the hope that had just risen in his heart sank.

He didn’t want to stop him, but he was afraid that Mu Qinglin would be disappointed again, and wanted to remind Zhou Yi, but he didn’t expect her to actually back down.

Mu Zhenghuai shook his head, didn’t say anything, and told Yan Chao, who turned his head three times at a step, to walk towards the teaching and research room.

Zhou Yi supported the sycamore tree, bent down very low, and then sat on the side of the road.

The security guard came here on patrol and saw that she didn’t look like a student in her clothes, so he asked a lot, and after confirming that the judgment was true, he stared at her all the way and left the school.

The streets were still lively after ten o’clock.

Zhou Yi walked along the road for a long time, and when she came back, she passed the noodle stall. The proprietress called her enthusiastically and said, “Miss, do you want a bowl of noodles?”

Zhou Yi raised his head dully, and finally remembered that he hadn’t had dinner yet.

She responded to the proprietress and sat down at random.

Soon, the proprietress came over with a bowl of noodles and said, “Beef noodles, add an extra serving of beef and an egg.”

Zhou Yi wanted to say that she didn’t ask to add these, but remembering the bank card in her pocket, she silently opened the chopsticks and stuffed a piece of beef into her mouth.

very tender…

Zhou Yi ate a meal in less than five minutes, and at the end of the meal, he didn’t find that there was no salt in the soup. She took two gulps from the bowl, pushed down the piece of egg stuck in her throat, got up and came over to scan the QR code to pay.

The proprietress quickly put down the work in her hand and said, “Someone has already paid for it.”

Zhou Yi was dumbfounded, “Who?”

The proprietress said: “A tall, thin, and very beautiful girl, she looks a little older than you, and there is a picture of you on her phone.”

Zhou Yi paused, and his silent heart instantly became overwhelmed.

No need to think about who this is.

She quickly turned around to look for Mu Qinglin’s familiar figure, but there were people coming and going around, and no one was as beautiful as her.

Zhou Yi lowered his hands, his throat was dry and tight, “When did she pay?”

The proprietress recalled a little and said: “Yesterday morning. That girl came to look for you, but you were not here, so she sat here for a while. It seems that she came again at noon. I was busy at the time, so I didn’t look carefully. I looked at the clothes. It should be right.”

Zhou Yi’s fingers were clenched to death.

The night before, she said “I don’t like you anymore” which made her so angry, but the next day, she was still willing to run so far to find her again and again?

She seems to be like this all the time, when she gets angry with her front feet, her back feet can immediately give her steps calmly.

It’s not that I have a good temper, it’s that I know someone won’t give in, so I have to force myself to compromise with that person…

She is such a bright person because you are humbled like this, do you still want to continue to look forward and backward to wear down her pride?

Zhou Yi asked himself.

She doesn’t want to!

“Girl, come over to Auntie’s to eat noodles when you have nothing to do.” The proprietress scooped up the noodles and said, “The girl paid you a month’s worth of noodles, and she said you don’t have to refund if you have more, and ask her to make up for any less! Haha, you guys The relationship between these little girlfriends is really enviable!”

The sweat on Zhou Yi’s body rolled down her back, and the stickiness faded, “It’s not a girlfriend.” She said.

The proprietress, “Oh? What is that?”

Zhou Yi clicked on WeChat, quickly typed the word “sister”, and then continued until the complete sentence was sent, then she looked up at the proprietress and said, “It is confirmed that she still wants to be together.”

—

It was nearly ten thirty when Mu Zhenghuai came back from school.

Mu Qinglin had just arrived and was sitting on the sofa in the living room looking at his phone.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mu Qinglin turned his head to look over, waited for Mu Zhenghuai to come in, greeted him, and asked, “Why did you come back so late today?”

“I was dragged by Yan Chao to deal with a small problem.” Sitting next to Mu Qinglin, Mu Zhenghuai saw that her mobile phone on the table had two calls in and out of Mu Zipei’s call records, so he asked her casually, “Pei Pee looking for you?”

Mu Qinglin said “um”, poured a glass of water for Mu Zhenghuai, and said amusedly: “I don’t know what kind of stimulation she has received, but she just called me suddenly, cried out of breath and said she loves me , Hang up after finishing speaking, I will call again and turn off the phone directly.”

Mu Zhenghuai took a sip of water and said hesitantly, “Maybe he’s trying to be condescending.”

The smile on Mu Qinglin’s face froze for a moment.

For the past two days, Mu Zipei has been asking Mu Qinglin how to find Zhou Yi. Mu Qinglin was afraid that she would be too partial to him and say something unpleasant to Zhou Yi, so he didn’t tell her, nor Mu Zhenghuai and the others. .

Hearing Mu Zhenghuai’s tone now, he probably knew it.

Mu Qinglin turned to look at Mu Zhenghuai, and said, “Did Pepe see Xiao Jiu?”

Mu Zhenghuai, “Well, I met at Ren Bochuan’s place.”

Mu Qinglin was surprised, “Why is he there? Did he say anything nonsense?”

“Are you afraid of what he will say?” Mu Zhenghuai asked back.

Mu Qinglin laughed, with a helpless tone, “Dad, you clearly know, why do you have to tell me yourself?”

Mu Zhenghuai remained silent.

Before changing it, Mu Qinglin’s tone softened, he must be reluctant to continue to embarrass her.

Meeting Zhou Yi today, and hearing her ambiguous words, Mu Zhenghuai was a little worried for no reason.

In his judgment, Zhou Yi is not a person who is good at giving up. She can say “difficult” and it should be really difficult. Otherwise, he wouldn’t immediately shrink back just because he reminded him.

Since it is difficult, how can it be so easy to restore the old?

If so, what price did Mu Qinglin pay for this “difficult choice”?

The more Mu Zhenghuai thought about it, the more worried he became.

In the end, reason overcame emotion, and he decided to think more about his daughter.

This plan is definitely not to force her to like someone else right away. But at least she must know her attitude towards people outside Zhou Yi.

“Ren Bochuan opened a shop outside the school as soon as he started. In recent years, he has not only supported himself, but also subsidized his family. When the school starts in September, he will be the lecturer of Jingyi.

Dad often heard their professional teachers mention him, saying that this boy has a good brain and is also an interesting person. No matter who is with him, he will be in a good mood. “

While observing Mu Qinglin’s expression, Mu Zhenghuai said, “Pepei was a graduate student when you went to see her off, but Ren Bochuan bumped into him. He fell in love with you at first sight, and he has shown you a lot in the past two years. You…”

“I don’t like those who are too young.” Mu Qinglin interrupted.

Mu Zhenghuai blurted out, “Isn’t Zhou Yi two years younger than Ren Bochuan?”

Mu Qinglin, “But Ren Bochuan is not Zhou Yi.”

Mu Qinglin said the last sentence very calmly, but his inner attitude was firmer than any of the previous sentences.

Mu Zhenghuai couldn’t think of a rebuttal for several seconds.

Mu Qinglin didn’t wait too long, followed the open topic, and said frankly: “Dad, I know that you are all doing it for my own good, but hasn’t she come back already? You have to give me some time to confirm something with her, If it’s really impossible in the end, you can let me marry anyone, but…”

Mu Qinglin looked at Mu Zhenghuai with a smile and said, “The probability of me marrying someone else is zero, because Zhou Yi is mine as long as she lives, and even if she dies, she can only be my ghost.”

“Yanyan, twisted melons are not sweet.” Mu Zhenghuai said helplessly.

Mu Qinglin smiled, “Not sweet is better than nothing. Dad, you don’t have to look at me with the filter of a good daughter. I’m really not a good talker. When I’m still willing to let her go, she can do whatever she wants, and I If you are angry, then everyone should not be happy. After all, it is a matter between two people, and I can’t be the only one who suffers.”

Speaking of this, Mu Zhenghuai understood Mu Qinglin’s attitude completely – he had to think carefully, so what else could he say, so be it.

“Go to bed early.” Mu Zhenghuai said.

Mu Qinglin let out a “hmm”, picked up the phone on the table and walked towards the bedroom.

She didn’t turn on the light, walked to the bed in the dark and lay down.

The excessive silence in the room can easily make people think wildly, and Mu Qinglin uncontrollably recalled the phone call Tang Yuanzhou made when he left Zhou Yi’s place.

It is similar to Mu Zhenghuai’s temptation just now.

“Mu Qinglin, forget it.”

Just six words, Tang Yuanzhou was brewing for almost half a minute before saying it.

After hearing this, Mu Qinglin’s mind went blank for a few seconds before he asked, “What did she say?”

Tang Yuanzhou said: “It’s because I didn’t say anything that I’m not worth it for you. We’ve all seen how you came here these years. Even outsiders like us know that we love you, but she didn’t say a word. This What do you still like her for? She may have forgotten the relationship between you long ago. “

Mu Qinglin didn’t believe it.

Forgot that I can still keep the gourd she gave me, and my eyes will turn red because of her one or two questions, and I will hide in the room and cry alone after she leaves?

But if he hadn’t forgotten, why wouldn’t he say a soft word?

Mu Qinglin covered his eyes with his arms, remained silent for a long time, and said to the room full of silence: “Xiao Jiu, don’t make me angry again.”

There are already many people who choose to stand against me. One day I will be left alone, and I may not be able to hold on.

Not long after Mu Qinglin finished speaking, the phone she had thrown aside suddenly vibrated.

She put down her hand and took out her phone to look at it.

On the lock screen page, there is a new message alert from WeChat, and the nickname in the bold line in the middle is…Xiao Jiu!

There was a bump in Mu Qing’s heart, her fingers were trembling, but her eyes were fixed on the small words below: [Sister, do you have time tomorrow night? I want to talk to you for a while. 】

Mu Qing’s heart, which had been disturbed by the words of Mu Zhenghuai and Tang Yuanzhou a second before, instantly came alive.

Are you finally willing to call her sister?

Does calling sister mean that she is coming back?

Come back to her.

Mu Qinglin, you can’t believe it, she read that line of words over and over again, so seriously that she forgot to click on WeChat, and kept the screen always on.

She taps quickly before the screen goes dark, over and over, while reading over and over again.

After reading it for the fifth time and finally confirming that it was not a hallucination, Mu Qinglin couldn’t help laughing out loud. At first it was joy, but later it turned into damp resentment.

She blamed Zhou Yi for making her wait too long, but she was reluctant to come back too late.

Mu Qinglin sat up and tapped the keyboard quickly.

—

After sending the WeChat message, Zhou Yi walked to the middle of two streetlights with her mobile phone in her hand, and found a place to lean against.

The light here is the darkest, which can help her hide her nervousness.

Her sister left so simply this morning that she wasn’t sure if she would still like to come and see her.

If you don’t want to…

The mobile phone suddenly came in a call from a local number.

Zhou Yi frowned, clicked to answer, “Hello…”

“Hello, is this Miss Zhou Yizhou?”

“yes…”

“My side is Liu Qing, the secretary of the vice-chairman of the Jiangping Greenfield Foundation. We have received the email you sent us and made a preliminary assessment. We believe that we can provide you with a certain degree of help.

But before we do that, we would like to have a face-to-face chat with you to gain a deeper understanding of the dilemma you and your team are currently facing, so that we can help you more accurately. I wonder if you have time tomorrow? “

The good news came unexpectedly, Zhou Yi didn’t even think about it, and immediately agreed, “I have time…”

Liu Qing said: “Okay, then see you at 7:00 p.m., the specific location, I will send it to your mobile phone after I set it up here.”

Zhou Yi, “Okay, thank you.”

Liu Qing, “You are welcome.”

After finishing the call with Liu Qing, Zhou Yi immediately called Han Qiu to report.

It was rare to have good news, and the two chatted a few more words.

When the ears became quiet again, Zhou Yi felt different when he heard the high-frequency cicadas.

People say that blessings are unparalleled, and she still encounters two things one day in a row?

So tomorrow will be a day when everything will go well, she has a hunch.

Zhou Yi cut out the address book and saw Mu Qinglin’s reply three minutes ago: [Yes, at 7 o’clock tomorrow night, I will find you! 】

Time hit.

Zhou Yi felt inexplicably panicked for a moment, his fingers hung on the screen and couldn’t come down.

After a while, she decisively switched back to the call log and called Liu Qing back.

Liu Qing said, “Miss Zhou, is there anything else to confirm?”

Zhou Yi, “I have a very important matter to attend to tomorrow night, can we make an appointment at another time?”

Liu Qing was in a dilemma, “Our vice chairman is very busy. I see that you have squeezed out time this time. If you miss it, you don’t know when it will be.”

Zhou Yi frowned, recalling Han Qiu’s relieved tone on the phone.

She was the one who rushed back.

There are so many people waiting in the team, so many animals waiting to be rescued, she can’t just abandon them for her own selfishness.

“Okay, then tomorrow night at seven o’clock.” Zhou Yi said, but what about Mu Qinglin?

Zhou Yi hesitated.

Mu Qinglin couldn’t wait for a reply, so she came over and asked: [Xiao Jiu, have you seen my message? 】

Zhou Yi’s eyes were astringent: [I saw it]

Mu Qinglin: 【Is this time okay? 】

Zhou Yi: [I have something to do]

Mu Qinglin: [Then later? I have an interview during the day, I can’t walk away…]

Zhou Yi: [OK]

Mu Qinglin: [Well, after six o’clock in the evening, I’m available anytime, give me a message when you’re done…]

Zhou Yi still has the same word: 【OK】

Mu Qinglin will reply to her immediately:【/OK】

Through the screen, Zhou Yi could also feel Mu Qinglin’s care and urgency, she really bullied this man badly.

Tomorrow night!

Tomorrow night, she must tell Mu Qinglin everything she knows! Crazy with her! Order her to give it! No matter what the result, she will admit it!

Fuck Du Wenfei! The big deal is to roll into the deep ditch together! It’s not like she hasn’t stayed in a dirty and smelly corner!

Zhou Yi clutched her mobile phone and walked back with big strides. The place where her right leg was broken off a mop made her sweat all over, but she felt that no day in the past was easier than now.

Mu Qinglin was the same, it was only at this second that she truly experienced the joy of regaining what was lost, her consciousness was floating in the air, her heartbeat was unbelievably light, knowing that it would be six or seven hours before the light would come, she couldn’t wait to go to the closet now Find a piece of clothing that Zhou Yi will like to put on.

When her finger touched the dress that Li Chengqi gave her a few days ago, Mu Qinglin lowered her head and made fun of herself.

The day Zhou Yi fell in love with her, she was never so nervous, what’s the matter now, just like a little girl in love, her heart beats faster just thinking about it.

Mu Qinglin laughed and scolded herself as “good for nothing”, suppressed her joy and went out to take a shower, after which she tossed and turned sleeplessly all night.

Her state continued until she went to work the next day without any relief.

It was rare for Fu Xiao to see her wearing a skirt, and she changed her usual casual appearance, wearing pearl earrings on both ears, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity for a moment, and said, “Why don’t you just meet the vice chairman of the foundation, Is it necessary to dress up like this? Now they are asking you to use your pen to clarify the unclear accounts, not you asking them for help.”

Mu Qinglin smiled, “It’s not because of this.”

“That is?”

“Xiao Jiu called my sister, she wants to see me.”

Fu Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and spoke faster, “Are you going to reconcile?”

Mu Qinglin, “Hmm…”

Fu Xiao exhaled, the restrained emotion in his eyes seemed even more agitated than Mu Qinglin’s, “I’ve been worrying for nothing for a day and two nights.”

Mu Qinglin smiled and told An Xiang to get ready and go out with him for an interview.

After packing up her things, Mu Qinglin suddenly recalled Fu Xiao’s question just now, and stopped to ask her, “What’s the date of the foundation you mentioned? I’ve been busy and forgot recently.”

Fu Xiao leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at her, “Today, at seven o’clock in the evening, at Junyi.”
