know the enemy

Mu Wenran's impression of Chu Yue was only many years ago, those hands that gently hugged him and that weak face full of tears.

She loves them, but loves freedom more.

Back then Chu Yue took Mu Wencheng abroad, and they went away for many years, and she never came back to see her other son.

Chu Yue's choice was not wrong, she wanted to escape from here and break free from the cage of oppression, Mu Wenran once wanted to.

In the first days when his mother left, he was always extreme and his personality was volatile.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, Mr. Mu always liked to think of Chu Yue and Mu Wencheng to him. For a long time, I was extremely disgusted to hear Mu Wencheng's name.

It's no wonder that it's better to be unaccompanied than to be left behind.

However, as time went by, those immature ideas were eliminated one by one, and the little impression that remained gradually faded away.For Chu Yue, Mu Wenran didn't blame or desire, she was his mother, that's all.

On the phone, Chu Yue said a lot of caring words as usual, and finally she said, "Mom misses you very much."

Mu Wenran patted Lu Jia's shoulder lightly. Lu Jia immediately informed him and moved to the side to make room for Mu Wenran.

Mu Wenran sat down and gave a soft "um". At this time, Chu Yue would always say "Then you are busy, mom has hung up the phone", but today was different. She kept silent and continued to ask: "Then do you miss mom?"

Mu Wenran felt that she was nervous. What's there to be nervous about? He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips slightly: "Yeah."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Wenran put the phone on the table, before turning around, he heard Lu Jia ask, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Answered a multiple-choice question with only one option." Mu Wenran smiled, "I'm a little upset."

Lu Jia pretended to be old-fashioned and patted Mu Wenran on the shoulder: "Choose C."

Mu Wenran looked at him with a smile, and he immediately looked back with wide eyes, blinked twice, maybe thought it was amused, so he kept blinking, tilted his head and shook Mu Wenran's shoulder with a smile: "Teach me to do my homework."

Lu Jia was not curious about the content of the phone call, and even changed the subject, hoping that Mu Wenran could be a little happier, even if the smile was to coax him, but at least those eyes were warm, not as emotionless as before.

Lu Jia met Fang Ren a few times before the winter vacation. Fang Ren only wore a thin coat in the winter. Lu Jia finally couldn't help asking sincerely after seeing him twice: "Aren't you cold?"

Fang Ren: "...not cold!"

Lu Jia was very envious: "Then you are very resistant to freezing."

Naturally, Fang Ren can't say that he is well-dressed and looks very low.

And Lu Jia didn't talk to Mu Wenran about everything, so he only briefly mentioned the matter of Fang Ren once, and he seemed dry when he talked too much and never mentioned it again.

One day during the winter vacation, when Lu Jia went to Mu's house, a woman opened the door, but it was not the nanny Lu Jia was familiar with.

The woman was well maintained and looked very young. She was a little surprised when she saw Lu Jia, and asked after a while: "Are you Wen Ran's friend?"

Luke nodded, a little restrained.

The woman stepped aside and said, "It's so cold outside, come in quickly, Wen Ran should be in the room, I'll call him out for you."

When Mu Wenran was a child, he looked a lot like this woman, and Lu Jia immediately guessed that she was Mu Wenran's mother.

Chu Yue seemed very happy, she went to the second floor and knocked on the door: "Wen Ran, your friend is here to see you."

Mu Wenran opened the door and nodded to Chu Yue, leaning on the railing, and looked at Lu Jia who was looking up: "What are you looking at? Come up."

Lu Jia bumped up.

Chu Yue smiled and said, "I'll get you two fruits."

Mu Wenran shook his head: "No, he won't eat."

Chu Yue was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up: "That's fine, then you two can play."

After the door closed, Lu Jia sat on the swivel chair and turned around: "Your mother?"

"Yeah." Mu Wenran dragged the chair to the side of the bed, and sat on the bed by himself, "I just arrived last night."

Lu Jia pulled the chair and rubbed it forward until it reached the edge of the bed: "Will you come to see me?"

"No."

Chu Yue got off the plane last night and stayed in a nearby hotel. She came to Mu's house early this morning and was stunned when she saw the nanny who opened the door. She called out "son" and covered her mouth and cried when she saw Mu Wenran. Get up, Mu Wenran stood there not knowing how to respond.

It is almost the same as the mother in the impression.

He was a little surprised at first, but soon calmed down.The previous phone call was probably a foreshadowing. When Chu Yue came back this time, she deliberately came to Mu's house so early, probably to find Mu Zhangcheng. Unfortunately, Mu Zhangcheng often ate and lived in the company and didn't go home very often. Of course she didn't. bump into.

Lu Jia's buttocks were still on the chair, and he put his hands on the bed to get closer to Mu Wenran. When he was close enough, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged Mu Wenran tightly.

The chair moved back, and he almost fell, but Mu Wenran supported him: "What's going on?"

"To keep you warm."

Because Lu Jia kept falling, Mu Wenran had no choice but to spread his legs and let him sit on his lap: "Don't mess with these wicked people."

Luke is obedient: "Oh."

Get off Mu Wenran's lap, sit on the bed Lu Jia crossed his legs again: "Then what about your brother, did you come too?"

"Should be here too." Mu Wenran glanced at him, "You care very much."

Lu Jia nodded honestly. In fact, he has always been curious. Mu Wenran and Mu Wencheng are twins, so they should look the same, but according to Mu Wenran, they have completely different personalities.

Seemingly seeing what Lu Jia was thinking, Mu Wenran rarely took the initiative to say: "He and I are fraternal twins."

This is the first time Luke heard: "Do you look different?"

"Ah."

So don't think of him as me.

Lu Jia also let out a "hmm", resting his chin on his hand, he didn't know what he was thinking. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I think you are the prettiest."

Mu Wenran really didn't want Lu Jia to meet Mu Wencheng, and he didn't want Lu Jia to see another person who looked similar to him. The paranoid emotion was so strong that it almost swallowed him whole.

For the time being, Mu Wenran couldn't figure out where the messy and entangled feelings came from, so he rested his head on Lu Jia's shoulder instinctively: "Yes."

Then just look at me.

Putting aside those hard shells, Mu Wenran's occasional flashes of fragility made Lu Jia feel very distressed. He thought that Mu Wenran used to look forward to his mother's call so much, but the result was not satisfactory, and it is the same now.

Lu Jia wanted to sigh again, feeling extremely wronged, his heart was like a puffer fish, he patted Mu Wenran on the back and whispered: "Brother, we are not sad." Obviously he was so sad that he died.

The two people's ideas are completely different, but they are cleverly integrated.

Mu Wenran naturally knew what Lu Jia was thinking, and smiled slightly where Lu Jia couldn't see, thinking why the kid is so stupid.

He stayed until the afternoon, when Lu Jia was about to go home, when he opened the door, he saw a tall figure. The man put down his hand, and seemed to have been standing outside the door for a long time. He touched the back of his neck and said, "Ah, I just wanted to knock on the door."

Luke looked up at him: "Hello?" Can you make it up?

Mu Wencheng reacted for a moment before moving out of the way, looking at Lu Jia's back curiously: "Mom, who is this?"

"Friend Wen Ran."

Mu Wencheng licked his upper teeth, touched the back of his neck and nodded.He was actually very reluctant to come, it was Chu Yue who called him to urge him, and he came here slowly.

The two brothers of the Mu family met in the living room. They hadn't seen each other for too long. They couldn't pretend to greet each other warmly because of their personalities and ages. Mu Wencheng could only pretend nothing happened and sat on the sofa.

Mu Wenran didn't intend to sit down, the atmosphere was extremely awkward, Mu Wencheng looked at his mother as if asking for help.

Chu Yue was very polite to her eldest son, and she was even a little scared. She had always had such a cowardly character.

"Mom, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly." Mu Wenran picked up the oranges in the fruit plate and slowly peeled them, Mu Wencheng's scalp was numb from his slow-moving attitude.

Chu Yue said "ah, ah" twice before recovering, and said hesitantly, "That's it, Wen Ran, your dad and I...do you think that if the two of us get together again...do you want us to remarry? ?”
