MTL - Not Spare the Years-Chapter 21

Mu Xueyi spent a day fighting the building blocks, her back hurts and her neck is sore, and the colorful instructions make her almost colorblind. I don't know where the partner got such a big box of more than 7,000 building blocks. According to her speed, it will take a week to put together.

From the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun, she only finished a small part of it.

During this period, Zhou Zhenyue has been busy in the room, occasionally coming out to pour a glass of water. There is basically no communication between them.

However, the maintenance of this distance unexpectedly did not make Mu Xueyi feel any uneasy.

She knew that there was a person not far from her, breathing and busy. In addition to the smell of sunlight and dust, there was also the sound of that person pressing the mouse and keyboard. There is no need to use verbal communication to ease the atmosphere that is not embarrassing at all, even if you don't say a word, you feel very at ease.

Mu Xueyi could vaguely feel that Zhou Zhenyue seemed to be allowing her to enter her life again.

Back then, when Zhou Zhenyue had just promised to be her girlfriend, she said something like this to her:

"I probably know what it's like to be in a relationship with other people, but I'm used to being alone, and I'm not used to having another person by my side. There may be a long time when you need to accompany me to eat and work with me , stayed with me until my subconscious and my body started to get used to it... There is one more you in my life."

Mu Xueyi put down the parts that he had assembled in half, rubbed his sore neck, and looked at the blurred shadow of Zhou Zhenyue behind the glass door.

She used to be like this, spending countless afternoons by Zhou Zhenyue's side.

She originally thought that if Mr. Zhou knew the truth and did not allow them to be together again, she would be able to leave in relief. But now...

The glass door was pushed open again, and Zhou Zhenyue came out with a water glass, and went to the coffee table to pour today's twelfth glass of water.

Mu Xueyi looked at her bent back, at the half of her forearm exposed when the cuffs of her shirt were rolled up, and at the way the jade ring on her index finger touched the glass.

The hand subconsciously clenched into a fist, and the hard corners of the building block were deeply immersed in the palm of his hand.

Really... so reluctant.

"Hey, girl Xue!"

Zhou Fengnian's voice suddenly came from the downstairs courtyard.

Mu Xueyi hurriedly got up from the carpet and looked down from the railing. Seeing that Mr. Zhou had just returned with a cane, his face was flushed with energy. She said hello at the first time: "Hello grandpa!"

Zhou Fengnian's face was full of joy, and he raised his cane: "Hey, why do you remember..."

Zhou Zhenyue came to the balcony with water at some point, standing next to Mu Xueyi, interrupting Zhou Fengnian's half-sentence from a distance: "Grandpa is back. We had dinner yesterday, didn't you tell me you wanted to meet me? Snow clothes?"

Zhou Fengnian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Oh...oh! Yes, that's right."

He raised his cane and pointed to the first floor, and smiled heartily: "Just right, Lao Qian gave me a basket of good crabs, and I just asked the back kitchen to steam them. Crescent Moon, bring Snow Girl down to eat together. "

Mu Xueyi hurriedly said, "Let me help in the kitchen." She asked again, "Ayue, besides crabs, what other dishes do you want to eat?"

Zhou Zhenyue sipped the water in the glass, "No."

Mu Xueyi looked downstairs: "Grandpa, what else do you want to eat?"

Zhou Fengnian was happy: "Look, my granddaughter-in-law is virtuous! Hahaha, don't be too busy, there are two cooks in the kitchen, and there is no place for you. You two come down first, Lao Qian's wife has packed some of her own. The saury dumplings we made are still hot, let's eat them first."

Zhou Zhenyue went back to the room to finish her work, and when Mu Xueyi packed up the building blocks all over the floor, the two went downstairs together.

The old house, which was used to being empty, became lively. The old man was very happy, and asked someone to move the dining table to the yard, and brewed a pot of his best tea.

After the two of them sat down, Zhou Fengnian took Mu Xueyi's hand and said with a smile: "Xue girl, I heard that yesterday was your birthday, I don't know what you little girls like." A very thick red envelope was stuffed into Mu Xueyi's hand, "I gave you a red envelope to buy something you like to eat and play."

Mu Xueyi hurriedly rejected: "No need, grandpa, didn't you just send me a big red envelope a few days ago..."

Zhou Fengnian feigned anger: "Hey, how can it be the same. Before, it was to transfer money to you, but today this is the cash in the bag, and the meaning is different! Take it, it's a good sign."

Zhou Zhenyue coughed dryly.

Seeing Zhou Zhenyue hinting at her, Mu Xueyi didn't dare to refuse again, she accepted it carefully, and said a few words of thanks.

Zhou Fengnian put a dumpling on Mu Xueyi's plate, turned his head and said to Zhou Zhenyue in an intriguing tone: "Yesterday Lao Qian's son also came back, remember? The little Qian uncle who hugged you when I was a child. Some time ago He just took office as the mayor, and he is very busy with a lot of things at hand. When he is so busy, he has to worry about his youngest son's marriage. The official should be more careful, and dare not make a big deal. Dare to write, for fear of being offended. But in this case, it will not be easy to return the gift in the future..."

Zhou Zhenyue swallowed the dumplings in her mouth and said lightly, "The skin is thick."

Zhou Fengnian clicked his tongue: "Don't change the subject." The old man tapped the edge of the plate with his chopsticks, "When are you going to delay your marriage with Girl Xue?"

Mu Xueyi almost choked.

Zhou Zhenyue just ate, as if she didn't hear it.

Zhou Fengnian turned to Mu Xueyi again, and patted her hand with a smile, "Girl, I've already made up my mind. When you get married, I'll move into the old house. There's a lot of vacancies in the house, so I'll pack it up for you. Make a wedding room. After passing the door, if you want to work, ask Crescent Moon to find you a position in the company. If you don’t want to work, I will pass a few buildings to your name, and you will see if you are collecting rent or starting a small business The company is up to you. If you are too lazy to toss, you can also stay at home and accompany the old man to play mahjong and go to the park. "

Zhou Zhenyue frowned, "Grandpa."

Zhou Fengnian learned that she had just deliberately turned a deaf ear, and ignored her directly, only looking at Mu Xueyi, "What do you think?"

Mu Xueyi lowered his head and clamped the saury dumplings on the plate, not daring to agree.

The better Zhou Fengnian treated her, the more afraid she was.

I am afraid that with too good vision, I will no longer be able to live in the cruel reality.

Zhou Zhenyue interrupted: "Grandpa, don't force her. We have our own arrangements."

Zhou Fengnian sighed: "I don't know you yet, I'm grumpy, and I like to procrastinate. Three years ago, I let go of my hands and told you to make up your mind, but what happened? If you could marry her back earlier, you would still break up. ?"

At this time, the steamed crabs were brought over, and Zhou Zhenyue changed the topic.

Zhou Fengnian saw that she didn't want to mention more, so he sighed and said nothing more.

During the meal, Zhou Fengnian put on his reading glasses and peeled the crabs. After peeling them, they distributed them to Zhou Zhenyue and Mu Xueyi, without even taking a few bites. Mu Xueyi also peeled it off for him, but the old man said he didn't like it.

Saying that I don't like to eat it, but the juice of each crab shell is cleaned up.

Mu Xueyi suddenly thought of the old-fashioned chicken soup stories written in magazines when he was a child. Parents always lied and said they didn't like it in order to leave delicious food to their children.

The Zhou family has no shortage of this food. However, leaving the best food to the most beloved child seems to be the instinct of every elder engraved in the blood.

It's also ridiculous.

The "familial affection" that she had never learned from her biological father was actually learned from Zhou Fengnian, who had no blood relationship at all.

After eating, Mr. Zhou took her to watch TV:

"Don't go back tonight. Let's watch "Bright Sword" and see that at ten o'clock, you go to the crescent moon's room to sleep. There are a lot of new towels and toothbrushes at home. If you want to change your clothes, just wear the crescent moon."

This was an unexpected development for Mu Xueyi, and she looked at Zhou Zhenyue for the first time.

Zhou Zhenyue glanced at her and said, "Since grandpa keeps you, you can agree."

Mu Xueyi murmured: "Then... I will clean up another room to sleep."

Zhou Fengnian said: "The other houses are all dusty, and it takes hours to clean up. ... Besides, aren't you all reconciled, why are you still separated when you go home?"

Mu Xueyi was afraid that the old man would notice something different, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

Zhou Zhenyue has always been calm and calm, and doesn't seem to care much about this upcoming special night.

After the meal, when Zhou Fengnian pulled Mu Xueyi to watch the war movie, Zhou Zhenyue sat with them for a while before going back upstairs to continue busy with the company's chores. While watching the drama, the old man chatted with Mu Xueyi about his past in the army.

Usually young people don't like to hear the stories of those planes and tanks, but Mu Xueyi is different. She likes listening to stories, whether it's war stories or fairy tales, she loves listening to them.

The old man spoke very happily. After he finished speaking, he sighed with satisfaction: "It's good, it's been a long time since no one wants to listen to this old man like me."

Mu Xueyi handed the peeled fruit to the old man, and asked casually, "Does Ayue usually listen?"

Zhou Fengnian smiled: "she is too busy to spend time with me. Since I resigned as chairman, she has hardly been free."

Mu Xueyi echoed: "I also think she seems to be much busier than three years ago."

Zhou Fengnian: "She is a good and responsible child. I didn't manage the company as much as she did. In the past few years, in addition to drinking and socializing, she has been sitting in the office to handle company affairs. She has been sitting at the desk for a long time, and her lumbar spine is sitting. There is something wrong. I often watch her rub her waist." He paused, his voice a little softer, "You young people have good energy, but you should be careful when you do that, don't ask her to use too much waist posture. , before going to bed, remember to help her press her waist."

Mu Xueyi blushed suddenly, "I..."

The old man doesn't seem to know yet.

She... and Zhou Zhenyue have not had that kind of relationship yet.

The most outrageous thing they had done together before was Zhou Zhenyue unbuttoning the first button of her underwear when kissing her. After she held Zhou Zhenyue's hand, Zhou Zhenyue never traveled again.

The TV series saw ten o'clock, the old man felt sleepy, and put Mu Xueyi back on time.

Mu Xueyi glanced at the wall clock after a while while watching TV. Of course she didn't dislike accompanying the old man, but she also hoped that the time would be too fast. But it was really ten o'clock, she hesitated again, and even began to hope that the TV series would have two more episodes.

It seems... I'm not ready to spend the night alone with Zhou Zhenyue.

Will they sleep in the same bed tonight?

Ah Yue's room... how many quilts are there?

For some reason, the kiss appeared in Mu Xueyi's mind inexplicably.

In the dark night without the lights on, the soft sheets that had been tanned during the day could only be rolled over to cover the quilts of the two people's abdomens. The suffocation that Zhou Zhenyue had nowhere to escape when she pressed on her, the tips of her teeth biting on her lips and the wet marks she had kissed, the fingers that penetrated into her pajamas, and the most sensitive parts of her back. Frozen jade ring.

The clearer she thought, the faster her heart beat.

Mu Xueyi shook his head, throwing away all the nonsense in his mind.

She took a deep breath, buried her head and returned to Zhou Zhenyue's room step by step.

When she got to the door, she stopped for a while, held the doorknob, and brewed for a while.

Finally, she mustered the courage to open the door.
