Flame red

Mu Yu's father completely locked Mu Yu in the Mu family's house. Even if he wanted to go out to relax, he had to be accompanied by someone, and he strictly stipulated the time to go home.Except for sleeping, Mu Yu basically lives under the watchful eye of his parents, and can't find any free time.

They are not even allowed to make phone calls, and the number they call has to be reviewed by their parents.Mu Yu knew that they were preventing him from contacting Yan Hong.

Mu Yu wanted to ask Mu Xiangzhi or Master Lu to ask about Yan Hong's situation, but under the supervision of her parents, she couldn't even find a time to send a text message.Staring at the series on the LCD TV in a daze every day, when I was thinking wildly, I remembered the softness of Yan Hong's lips when he kissed her that night.

Why did that child suddenly appear in his room?Why do you treat yourself like this?

She thought for many days without a clue, and at night, she even looked forward to whether Yan Hong would open the half-closed window again and come to her bedside.

Yanhong never appeared.

Mu Yu began to regret a little bit, regretted that he drove the other party away in a hurry because of his embarrassment, if he could have asked why at that time, maybe he wouldn't have been so entangled alone for so long.There may be answers to everything.

——But Yanhong no longer appeared in Mu Yu's life.

She patiently searched for an opportunity. She waited for a week since the first day of the Lunar New Year, but there was no clue. During this period, she was going to visit relatives, but her parents canceled the plan because of Mu Yu's poor health.There were bags of New Year's goods piled up at home, and the servants and housekeepers took them away.

Mu Yu thought that Mu Xiangzhi would come to his house for dinner, but when he left relatives, Mu Xiangzhi didn't come.After listening around, I realized that the child seemed to be grounded at home because of the fact that he came to help him before.

She felt a little guilty, but it wasn't right to talk about it openly. After all, the two of them had left the impression of recklessness in the eyes of their elders. If they mentioned it so casually, they might be scolded.

Mu Yu found an excuse, saying that the New Year's Eve hadn't paid New Year's greetings to Mu Xiangzhi, so he dialed Mu Xiangzhi's number under the eyes of his elders.

It was connected quickly there.

"Happy New Year." Mu Yu threw out a sentence.

Mu Xiangzhi was obviously taken aback, and then answered. "Happy New Year."

Trying to act like a cousin asking about trivial matters, Mu Yu asked casually, "Have you paid New Year's greetings to your classmates?"

"not at all……"

"Ask your classmates how their New Year's is going." Mu Yu glanced at the relatives and parents who were staring at him, and casually suggested. "It's okay if you're not in the same class."

Mu Xiangzhi was silent for a while, and asked back uncertainly. "...You mean Yanhong?"

The parents here couldn't hear what she said, so Mu Yu hummed. "yes."

"I see, I'll find a way to get in touch."

"Okay." I wanted to say thank you, but Mu Yu still didn't say it. After all, things like New Year's greetings are not suitable for saying thank you. "Then go eat, it's getting late."

"Well, I'll text you when the time comes."

After chatting briefly, Mu Yu hung up the phone and innocently put the phone away.Continue to listen to the chatter of your parents and relatives.She found that she was also a little nervous, but thanks to the habits brought about by the profession of an actor, she was able to lie and act at her fingertips.

Mu Yu firmly believed that it wasn't that Yan Hong didn't contact him, but that her parents did a good job of taking precautions, so that the child had no way to get in touch with him other than coming in through the window.

And now it's not good for her to leave home again, after all, this incident has caused her parents to be overwhelmed, and she always feels that Yan Hong has something wrong with her, if she continues to act without authorization, the situation may become even more out of control.

Mu Xiangzhi contacted him for two days, but there was no news.Mu Yu waited patiently until the third day, and when he was about to call her again, he finally received a text message from that cousin.

Surprisingly, there was nothing written on it, explaining that in the past two days, Mu Xiangzhi first went to Yan Hong's classmate, the girl named Yang Bai, and when he wanted to get the phone number, he found that the number had been shut down, so he had to find the Jian family's phone number. That exorcist got Yanhong's new phone number.

However, the call will be automatically transferred to the message box. I don't know why the child went there. Mu Xiangzhi tried several times, but he couldn't get through, so he sent the number to Mu Yu directly and asked her to deal with it.

If Yan Hong said that she changed her phone number, she couldn't keep silent, not even Yang Bai.While copying the phone number, Mu Yu frowned and thought.And according to Mu Xiangzhi, this number was obtained from Jian Xiangli.A new cell phone number, not for a friend, but for an exorcist, is a bit of a problem.

Mu Yu dialed that number, and just as Mu Xiangzhi said, it was transferred to the message box.

She didn't leave a message either, and hung up directly, feeling more and more problematic in her heart.

I haven't seen Yan Hong for more than a week, which is actually not a long time. When I was in the film crew, the days of separation were even counted in months. But at that time, Mu Yu wanted to find Yan Hong, so he only needed to make a phone call. The child will definitely answer, and even if he can't get through, he will text back.

It doesn't feel like an unrealistic sense of disappearance like it does now.

She wondered if Yan Hong was deliberately alienating herself.Just like Mu Yu wanted to leave Yanhong before.

But the child said before that his blood was the way to protect Mu Yu, and he would not leave her alone.Could it be that because Mr. Lu said he found a solution, he wanted to leave?

Mu Yu thought about it, and felt that Yan Hong might, maybe she really had this tendency.

——No, I haven't seen Master Lu recently.

Although she knew it was because her parents asked that person not to disturb her during this time, it was a bit strange that she didn't even have a phone call or text message.

Did something happen these days?

Mu Yu turned his head and looked at the walls and windows around him, feeling a little irritable in his heart, feeling more and more that this house is really an eyesore.

When she thought about it and became more and more confused, suddenly her phone vibrated, and a text message came in.

Looking down, he found that it was Yanhong's text message.

——You looking for me?

Strange, Mu Xiangzhi sent the number just now, so you know it so soon?Mu Yu murmured in his heart, and started typing with his fingers nimbly.

——Why didn’t you say anything when you changed your phone?

After waiting for a few seconds after sending it, Yanhong replied again.

——Ah, sorry, I've been busy with homework recently.

Then why would Jian Xiangli know?Although he really wanted to ask this question, Mu Yu hesitated and gave up.Who knows what kind of private relationship Yan Hong has with that exorcist?She was a little bit unwilling to be reconciled, so she automatically filtered out this question.

——How have you been recently?

——It’s okay, but the smell is a bit heavy after the kitchen is redecorated.

It seems that Yanhong contacted the decoration company by herself and tidied up the kitchen. Mu Yu hummed and found that the child's ability to handle things independently was getting stronger and stronger.

— By the way, why didn't you answer the phone?

——Telephone bills are expensive. Generally speaking, it is cheaper to send short messages if there is nothing to do.

Mu Yu rolled his eyes, why didn't he send a text message before that?She thought for a while, and told Yanhong: ——My parents will check my text messages, and if they are seen, I might have to spend half a year at home.

Yan Hong was also unceremonious, and directly replied—then you are still looking for me?

Originally, Mu Yu meant that if she was on the phone, she could at least avoid people checking the text messages and turning to the chat history, but Yan Hong's answer immediately made her feel a little angry, and she wanted to have an attack, but since she was typing and chatting, it was difficult to show it. If you send a few emojis to that child, it might scare him.

——Can’t I find you?

That's all she could ask.

——I don’t think now is the time to contact me.

Mu Yu threw his phone on the sofa, turned his head to watch the New Year program on TV, his eyes were dead.

She felt that it was not suitable for chatting with Yan Hong today, the child seemed unable to turn his head around, and Mu Yu felt that he would only want to run back and press her down on the sofa to beat her up more and more.

Of course, it's just thinking about it, even if there is such an opportunity, at most she will hug Yanhong when she returns there, and she won't make a move.

But even if the child couldn't turn the corner, Mu Yu felt a lot more relaxed after contacting her. Even though Yan Hong was so slow, she forgave him with a good temper.

What's more, calling strangers casually will actually arouse the alertness of your parents. It's good to send messages like this, at most, you can delete them manually later.

"Rainy Day" is going to be a successor to "Smothering Spring". Although there are two press conferences to promote after the Chinese New Year, Mu Yu had to ask for leave because of illness because of his parents' orders.Watching the live broadcast of the press conference on TV, she found that there was a subtle sense of distance from the position of a bystander looking at the seat she was supposed to be sitting in.

And this sense of distance made Mu Yu feel a little strange to himself standing under the spotlight in bright clothes for a moment.

She complained to Yan Hong about this matter, but the other party just said flatly that because you have always been a busy person, you are not used to being free.

Mu Yu thought about it, Yan Hong's words seemed to make sense.

During this time, the child would occasionally send herself text messages, asking at most some very basic things, such as wanting to buy a pure music CD that can help sleep, and asking her if she had anything to introduce.

While replying, Mu Yu thought that Yanhong is also a bit strange recently, she didn't pay so much attention to life before, instead she often showed off her good habit of falling asleep right away.

But in the end, because the topic was pulled away, she didn't care.

Probably on the day Yanhong said that school would start, Master Lu finally called.Mu Yu had just finished breakfast at that time, saw the flashing name on the phone screen, hesitated, looked carefully at his parents who were watching the morning news not far away, and after confirming that the other party hadn't noticed him, he quietly went back to the room to answer the call.

"My parents seem to be still angry." She told Master Lu.

The other party sighed. "There's nothing you can do about it. After all, there's such a big commotion. When you came back with a fever that day, Uncle almost knocked off the roof of the house."

"Acquaintance seems to have suffered too."

"Yes. After all, she is still young." Master Lu paused, and asked Mu Yu hesitantly. "How have you been feeling lately?"

"I feel better, I'm more refreshed." Mu Yu replied, remembering what the other party said about taking out the inner alchemy before, he quickly asked: "By the way, I said before that I should take out the inner alchemy, what should I do about it? "

"What should I do?" Master Lu on the other end seemed to be taken aback, and then subtly groaned. "They didn't tell you?"

"My parents?"

Master Lu muttered vaguely that he didn't know something, and then said to Mu Yu: "Make an appointment to come out, let's talk about it."

"I don't care." It's just that Mu Yu's parents may not agree.She considered the possibility of secretly running away from home at night, but she gave up. "Try it, try it."

"Okay, you can book a place when it's convenient."

She hung up the phone, and took a look at her personal website. The fans who punched in every day were still overwhelming the comment area. Many people even used the character name "Cuihua" to refer to Mu Yu, and because of "Yan Cui Sheng Chun" Due to the recent popularity, not many people remember the literary nickname "Mu Yu" in the beginning.

The four-cornered Shura field is indeed full of attractions.Mu Yu sighed inwardly, and posted a post casually. She is not very good at taking selfies, so she flipped through two photos of cats, dogs, etc. that were taken on the set on her mobile phone and uploaded them, teasing someone else on the set. My cat's name is Cuihua.

Just at this time her mother also called her downstairs to eat.

Mu Yu responded, put away his phone and went downstairs.Today, I don't know where my father got two king crabs and asked the cook to steam them, but Mu Yu doesn't eat seafood much anymore, looking at the crabs with teeth and claws on the plate, he subconsciously smiled wryly.

Her parents didn't notice, but urged to sit down and eat.

During the meal, Mu Yu didn't hide it either, and directly said that Master Lu asked him to go out to talk about the previous things.As soon as she finished speaking, the parents on the other end made a noise, and their eyes were fixed on Mu Yu.

"This matter can't be dragged on forever, can it?" Mu Yu was not afraid, and said it as a matter of course.

Her father opened the claws and asked, "Just the two of you?"

Master Lu didn't make this question clear, so Mu Yu couldn't answer it, so he thought for a while before saying, "I'm the only one on my side, and he doesn't know about it."

Her mother looked at Mu Yu's father with some hesitation, and the latter ate in silence, thinking about it, as if he felt that such a long time had passed, this matter should have a result, so he nodded. "I'll drive with you. You talk about your stuff, and I'll wait outside."

Mu Yu sighed inwardly, and nodded.

On the same day, he made an appointment with Master Lu. Although Mu Yu wanted to meet in Wuzhi, the purpose was too obvious, and his father who went with him would never agree.After thinking about it, she still settled in a certain restaurant in the government.

To be honest, Mu Yu's house is a little closer to Wuzhi. If you take a long-distance bus, you can get there in about two hours. But as I said before, her father would never agree to Mu Yu going to Wuzhi again.Whatever the reason.

Master Lu seemed to be in the government too, and it was said that he was visiting relatives, so he made an appointment for dinner.After Mu Yu took a nap, her father drove her to the government in that army green off-road vehicle.

No one spoke all the way, Mu Yu didn't talk much originally, and she wasn't in the mood to chat with her father, she kept looking at the passing scenery outside the window, and the song "Rainy Day" was looping on the player, she listened carefully by accident, and found that the first In the first season, I couldn't listen to my own singing skills, but I don't know why the fans always listen to it with gusto.

Probably because he looks good and does everything right.

When they arrived at the government, it was still daylight, Mu Yu glanced at the electronic clock in the car, it was 05:30 in the evening, just in time for dinner.

Master Lu sent a text message, saying that they had found a private room in the restaurant and were waiting.

--them?

Mu Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes lit up instantly, but then dimmed without leaving a trace.

"Let's go, he's already here." She said to her father flatly.

The army green off-road vehicle shuttled along the highway of the national capital with the late-returning traffic, and finally arrived at the restaurant with a good reputation but an inconspicuous location according to the navigation instructions.

Mu Yu put on his baseball cap, simply put on a mask and got out of the car.If she asked the waiter at the front desk directly, she might still be recognized by this disguise, so she asked Master Lu to come out and pick her up.After waiting at the door for a few minutes, I saw the man walking over in a blue sweater.

After saying goodbye to his father, Mu Yu followed Master Lu into the restaurant.

As soon as he left his father's sight, Mu Yu asked Master Lu, "Who else is here?"

Master Lu snorted, and replied, "Jian Xiangli."

Sure enough, it won't be Yanhong.

Mu Yu nodded, putting away the disappointment in his heart without leaving a trace.Then they came to an unremarkable private room, where Jian Xiangli was sitting alone, staring at the two dishes on the table in a daze.

Master Lu snapped his fingers, and he came back to his senses.

"Let's order something to eat, and chat while waiting for the food to be served." Jian Xiangli pointed to the menu.

"En." Mu Yu was not in a hurry to ask anything, nodded, and then the two exorcists ordered four dishes and one soup at a surprising speed, and then sent the waiter away.

After confirming that there was no one around, Jian Xiangli leaned forward slightly, and exchanged a glance with Master Lu.

"You say it or I say it?" he asked.

Master Lu replied. "You are an elder, you say it."

So Jian Xiangli hummed under Mu Yu's gaze, and looked into her eyes quietly. "Mu Yu." He said seriously. "You are an ordinary person now."

Mu Yu couldn't understand what Jian Xiangli meant for a while, so he frowned.But then, he seemed to think of something. "Ordinary people mean... the snake demon..."

Jian Xiangli didn't nod or deny, just explained. "We have already taken out the inner alchemy."

When he said that, Mu Yu was a little at a loss. "Wait, when did you..."

"When Yanhong was looking for you."

The memory of that night, Mu Yu doesn't think about it that often, even if it is unforgettable, it is too shameful no matter how you say it, even if she can't sleep at night, she will recite the lines in her heart, and she will not let herself recall the moonlight On a beautiful night, Yan Hong's face is full of triumphant smiles.

She has never been able to figure out why the other party would suddenly come to find her, appearing in front of her in this way of a lover on a tryst.

"Oh." Mu Yu rubbed his frown again, his face felt a little hot. "So you knew then."

"I'll tell her how to take out the inner alchemy without harming you." Jian Xiangli didn't seem to understand what happened in the room, nor was he particularly clear about Mu Yu's feelings at that time, he said in a business-like manner.

So everything Yan Hong did was to take out the inner alchemy, and there was no other personal reason.

Mu Yu nodded to express his understanding, but his expression gradually turned cold.

"Then she is really a bad person." She said so.

Jian Xiangli gave a wry smile. "Now you don't talk about her like that."

When he said this, Master Lu's face flashed an unspeakable depression at the same time. Mu Yu was keenly aware of the change in the mood of the two of them, and suddenly he raised his heart.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Master Lu turned his head away from looking at Mu Yu, but stared at the hanging paintings in the private room.

"Yanhong is dead." He replied quietly.
