Not Spare the Years - Chapter 99
Seeing that the waiter had lost his expression management, and the hands that poured the water were shaking slightly, Mu Xueyi finally couldn’t help laughing.
“Hahaha… Well, Xiao Li, we’re joking, don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously.”
The waiter was startled: “Huh?”
Mu Xueyi introduced Zhou Zhenyue to her: “This is not my sister, this is my girlfriend. We are not related by blood, and I am not pregnant. I was just teasing you.”
The waiter came back to his senses and said angrily, “Miss Mu, why are you always joking!”
Zhou Zhenyue flipped through the menu and seemed to ask casually:
“What kind of joke has she made before?”
Waiter: “On one occasion, after Ms. Mu had finished her meal, she bargained with me for a long time, saying that she was very pitiful, with broken legs, broken fingers, and depression. She insisted on giving her a 50% discount. I was soft-hearted. Now, think about it, I’ll just treat her to this meal. I took out all the money, but she said, she’s joking with me! She’s rich, so this meal is not bad at all!”
Zhou Zhenyue looked at Mu Xueyi when she heard the word “depression”.
Mu Xueyi’s expression was light, nothing out of the ordinary.
“You still remember such a long time ago,” Mu Xueyi lightly smiled and briefly brought the topic over, “Let’s order. One white wine clam spaghetti, one black truffle steak, two cream mushroom soup .”
The waiter was obviously angry and fond of Mu Xueyi. One second he was accusing her, and the next second he said, “You finally came back and brought you a piece of pre-dinner bread.”
Mu Xueyi smiled and nodded: “Okay, thank you.”
Mu Xueyi behaved very naturally.
So natural.
Zhou Zhenyue blinked and looked out the window, thinking that maybe she was thinking too much.
The pre-dinner bread came quickly.
Mu Xueyi picked up the knife and spread butter on the broken bread.
Zhou Zhenyue did not speak, and she also remained silent.
When she first came back, she planned to take the initiative to tell Zhou Zhenyue about the past year.
But at that time, Zhou Zhenyue’s sentence “You shouldn’t sell miserably” covered up all her words.
Her attitude is actually very open-minded. She will not hold the suffering in her heart and play the drama that touches her.
She felt that her other half had the right to know about anything, good or bad.
But if this “right to know” has become a “method of selling miserable” in the eyes of the other party, then perhaps she should stop talking.
When things change, they lose their original meaning.
let it go.
Zhou Zhenyue knew it or not.
As long as they can stay together so harmoniously, there is no need to be paranoid if they know the past.
Mu Xueyi spread a piece of bread and handed it to Zhou Zhenyue.
Zhou Zhenyue did not answer, but leaned forward slightly and said:
“feed me.”
Mu Xueyi smiled, “President Zhou Da has hands and feet, and you want others to feed you. Fortunately, Xiao Ai is not here, and there are no other people who know us here, otherwise people will see it, President Zhou Da’s Wouldn’t the cold-faced elite set all collapse?”
As she said so, she still gently handed the bread to Zhou Zhenyue’s mouth, feeding her carefully.
Zhou Zhenyue took a bite of the bread and chewed it carefully.
After swallowing it, she said, “It’s because no one here knows me that I asked you to feed.”
Mu Xueyi: “So you are also afraid of losing face.”
Zhou Zhenyue: “Of course I’m afraid of losing face.”
Mu Xueyi: “Then in front of me, you are not afraid of losing face?”
Zhou Zhenyue: “You’ve already read ‘Lizi’, is ‘face’ still important?”
Mu Xueyi snorted, “I heard it right, Sister Yue is talking to me?”
Zhou Zhenyue calmly said, “The clear see the clear, the turbid see the turbid.”
Two servings of Cream of Mushroom Soup were served.
After the waiter set the plate and turned to walk away, Mu Xueyi calmly answered:
“To be fair, you’re almost done reading my ‘lizi’. I haven’t had time to explore your ‘lizi’ at all.”
Zhou Zhenyue took a spoon and scooped a small half spoon of cream of mushroom soup, and tasted a small sip very elegantly.
“…I’ll let you explore tonight.”
she said very lightly.
The soup that Mu Xueyi just drank choked in his throat.
“cough…”
really.
Being sullen is much more scary than being explicit.
After eating, the two strolled around the neighborhood and bought some snacks in the canteen. I went to a vegetable market a little further away and bought some leftover vegetables and meat picked by others to prepare for tomorrow’s meal.
Because the food market is really far away, Mu Xueyi asked the neighbor here to borrow a bicycle.
She still can’t ride a bicycle without auxiliary wheels, so she sat on the back seat, hugged Zhou Zhenyue’s waist, and watched Zhou Zhenyue pedal slowly and steadily.
The bell on the handlebar has been around for a long time, and even if you don’t press it, the road is slightly bumpy, and its internal parts will make a “tinkling” crash sound.
This section of the road is a bit uneven. Although Zhou Zhenyue has been riding very slowly, the whole car is still ups and downs.
The bell also kept ringing.
clang clang-
clang clang-
Mu Xueyi seemed to have seen her and Zhou Zhenyue’s later years.
There is an ordinary little house.
Go to your favorite restaurant for dinner.
After dinner, I rode an old bicycle to buy vegetables and meat for tomorrow.
Just thinking about:
What are you going to cook tomorrow?
The house is a little dirty, so when we go back in a while, we have to clean up together.
The weather is fine today, and you should be able to see the stars at night.
They can sit on the swing together, recalling interesting past events, and counting the infinite number of stars like children.
These five days…
If only it could be as long as a lifetime.
With a “squeak”, they had already returned to the small courtyard. Zhou Zhenyue stopped her bicycle, turned her head and said warmly:
“Go open the door.”
Mu Xueyi reluctantly loosened Zhou Zhenyue’s waist, got out of the car, and took out the keys.
Zhou Zhenyue asked thoughtfully: “The light is dim, can you see clearly?”
Mu Xueyi bent down and squinted at the keyhole, “…it seems a little dark.”
Zhou Zhenyue sat on the bicycle, propped on one foot on the ground, and turned on the flashlight function of her mobile phone.
From a distance, carefully shine the light on the keyhole.
With light, Mu Xueyi’s unlocking was much smoother.
When they got home, they put the food in the refrigerator, probably cleaned up the dust in the house and the yard, and then went to lay the sheets and bedding for the night.
When tidying up the back room, Zhou Zhenyue saw a large locked box in the corner.
Big and heavy, quaint tan with a thin layer of ash on it. The keyhole on the lock is very small, and it seems that the key that can open the lock is not among the spare keys that Mu Xueyi gave him.
Zhou Zhenyue asked casually, “What’s in this box?”
Mu Xueyi replied casually: “Some scattered things in life, before returning to Anyang, I cleaned up the house, and put all the messy things together.”
Zhou Zhenyue glanced at the box again.
It looks… it’s really just an ordinary storage box.
Just an unimportant blip that was quickly forgotten about.
As soon as I got busy, it was almost ten o’clock.
After a day and a half on the road, I bought groceries in the afternoon, and I was a little tired.
The two took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and sat together on the swing in the yard.
The night was quiet and the breeze was cool.
As soon as the wind blew, it swayed the green leaves of the vines, making a rustling sound.
The swing chair has a back, and Zhou Zhenyue reclines lazily, with her arms draped behind the back. Mu Xueyi lay on her shoulders, nestled in her arms.
A blanket covered their thighs so they wouldn’t catch a cold.
“…Actually, this place is already very remote, but there is a Cyanwood Mountain in the east, which is even more remote than here. On that mountain, there is a master carpenter with good craftsmanship. Once, I was wandering in the mountains and met him in the yard. Washing the wooden tools he carved at the door, I just glanced at it, and I knew that he did the best woodwork.”
Mu Xueyi slowly talked about those things in his memories.
“Then I asked him: Can a swing be made? He said: Yes. So I ordered the swing frame we are sitting on now. It took a lot of effort to move out of the mountains.”
“I made the drawings myself at the time. I designed all the carvings on the swing, so I really liked this swing. Most of the reasons I bought this house were because I wanted to keep it. This swing. Even if I don’t have time to come, I’m really reluctant.”
Zhou Zhenyue hummed, “This swing is really beautiful.”
Mu Xueyi looked at the stars in the sky with a slight smile on her lips.
“At that time, I thought, I will definitely bring you here in the future, let’s sit together, shake, shake, shake…”
Zhou Zhenyue chuckled.
“Shake it to make you so happy?”
Mu Xueyi closed his eyes and suddenly asked, “Hey, do you still count what you said during the day?”
Zhou Zhenyue: “What’s the matter?”
Mu Xueyi rubbed her face against Zhou Zhenyue’s chest and lowered her voice.
“You said, tonight you can let me… explore…”
Zhou Zhenyue stroked Mu Xueyi’s side face and squeezed lightly.
“What I say, of course, counts.”
She put her arms around Mu Xueyi’s shoulders and wanted to get up.
“Then let’s go inside.”
But she just straightened up a little and was pushed back by Mu Xueyi.
“Why do you want to enter the house?” The low voice, with the wind, flowed into your ears, “You don’t want to know… Why am I so happy sitting on this swing that can shake?”
Zhou Zhenyue was stunned, her eyebrows softened quickly, and she asked in a low voice:
“You want to be on the swing?”
Mu Xueyi did not answer.
She pulled off Zhou Zhenyue’s nightgown directly and bowed her head down.
Zhou Zhenyue held her arm without resisting, and let the other party try to attack the city and take everything.
Just started a little, but Mu Xueyi suddenly stopped.
She raised her head, her eyes were wet, and she hesitated.
After a while, she still asked:
“After these five days, will you regret it?”
Zhou Zhenyue pursed her lips and smiled lightly.
She hugged Mu Xueyi and whispered softly in her ear:
“…Little girl, don’t think too much.”
Mu Xueyi was hugged by Zhou Zhenyue, looking at the unopened bud on the rose vine, shaking her head.
The brown pupils are like the setting sun in the sunset.
About to see her moon at the only time of day when the sun and the moon are on the same day.
She closed her eyes.
Put all your attention on every inch of the person’s body in front of him.
Warm and hydrated lips.
Cold and delicate touch.
She kissed her, like the wind and dance.
Swallows fly in the wind, and divine birds dance in the heavy rain.
Everything has found its own place.
Heavier and heavier gasps, the “crunching” swing that kept shaking.
Zhou Zhenyue bit the back of her hand, only to feel that all the stars and rivers were rolling and twisting.
She seemed to be lying on a thin, lonely boat.
With the waves, swaying, undulating, creating the illusion of vertigo.
Slowly, slowly.
Her body seemed to have turned into the sea.
Deep in the sea, there are sirens singing ethereally.
Twisted and melodious.
Through the layers of water waves, the most mysterious and confusing memory was sewn into her memory.
Ships hit rocks and people get lost.
Icebergs will shatter and schools of fish will go crazy.
The rhythm of the tune, with the shaking of the waves, caters to the high and low.
Shake higher.
The rhythm is more deeply rooted in the heart.
getting deeper and deeper…
getting deeper and deeper…
In a trance, Zhou Zhenyue vaguely thought:
fortunately.
Fortunately, Xueyi bought the house.
Left this swing.
fortunately…
Fortunately, she followed her and came here.
