brand on heart

At noon, Lu Jingyang called and said that the matter between Zhang Qiao and Lu Wanyu hadn't been resolved yet, and asked Shiyan to contact him next week.

Before hanging up the phone, Yan Ming knew it was inappropriate, so he persuaded him: "Mr. Lu, after all, Auntie has been with you for so many years and has given you a lot. Besides, Wan Yu also needs a complete family. Can you see For Wan Yu's sake, seriously consider this matter?"

"You don't want me to divorce?" Lu Jingyang asked.

"Uh," Shi Yan didn't know why he asked such a question, and replied, "This is your family matter, so I'm not in a position to express my opinion. It's just that Wan Yu is at a critical moment in high school, and I just don't want him to be affected."

Lu Jingyang was silent for a moment, and said: "This morning, she beat Wan Yu, and Wan Yu asked me for help. I went to pick him up, but I couldn't pick him up."

It looks like a mess.

Shi Yan didn't know what to say, and Lu Jingyang didn't seem to want him to get involved in his family affairs, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "I have already applied to the court for an injunction, and it should be resolved next week. Please help enlighten Wan Yu, he is still young, and I don't want him to be hurt because of this incident."

"Okay, Mr. Lu."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Yan sighed, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

Send a message to Lu Wanyu, asking how he is doing now.

Lu Wanyu took a photo and came over with slap marks and bloodstains on his face, "Brother, my mother locked me at home and didn't allow me to go to school. My face hurts."

It seems that Lu Jingyang wanted to take away his son and drove Zhang Qiao into a corner and started to go crazy, otherwise how could he have the heart to beat Lu Wanyu like this.

"Do you want me to come and see you?" asked on WeChat.

Lu Wanyu immediately replied: "No, no, my mother is still angry, and anyone will suffer. Don't worry, she gave me the medicine just now, and nothing will happen. Dad said that it will be taken care of in two days, I'll contact you then."

"Okay. Then you have to protect yourself and don't make your mother angry again. "

"Okay, bro, you rest, I'm fine. (*￣︶￣)"

Looking at the emoticon on the message, Shi Yan was not sure if the other party was forcing a smile.

Whoever it was, faced with such a sudden family change, would not be able to accept it for a while.

Hey - but I can only be anxious, I can't help.

Unexpectedly, it was free tonight, but Shi Yan didn't feel relaxed. The thick wine list in the bar was still waiting for him to get familiar with.

After school in the afternoon, I saw Meng Yun was still rushing to the dormitory, went downstairs with him, and asked, "Meng Yun, what job are you doing today?"

"takeout."

"I hardly see you on Saturday and Sunday, what are you doing?"

Meng Yun gave him a strange look, but the two of them had already worked together, so they were close friends, so they didn't ignore his inquiries as before, and said, "I work as a shopping guide in a shopping mall and sell clothes."

"Uh." It was really very busy.

"What about you?" Unprecedented, Meng Yun asked back, Shiyan was flattered, and said eloquently, "There is something wrong at home with the tutor, I don't have to go to class this week, I plan to memorize the wine list at home tonight, and learn some cocktails Basic knowledge. I’m going to visit my grandma in a nursing home on Saturday, and I’m wondering if he’ll have time to watch a movie with him on Sunday when the kids who agreed to tutor him.”

"Yeah." Meng Yun wasn't very interested at first, but after hearing this, he turned to look at him and said, "It seems that you are doing well." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't know whether it was comforting or reassuring.

So the nostalgia in Shi Yan's heart began to float up and down again.

After saying goodbye outside the teaching square, Shi Yan walked towards the school gate with her backpack on her back in a depressed mood.

Sure enough, it can't go on like this, not to mention whether Meng Yun has noticed his thoughts, but in his own heart, he feels sorry for Mu Qing, after all, he has promised him that even if he cheats in his heart, he is not allowed to cheat.

It's better to take it easy as soon as possible, in case Mu Qing finds out the clues, it will be bad.

As soon as he walked out of the entrance hall, the phone rang, and it was Mu Qing calling.

Strange, so early, just after six o'clock, and he got off work?

Pick up, "Hello, First Young Master Mu."

"At the gate of the school, come out quickly."

Shi Yan's heart tightened, and she quickened her pace, "Are you off work? The school has just finished school now, and there are too many people at the gate. Please, Mr. Mu, please drive to the intersection of the bus platform in front. I will come over right away, please."

"..." Seemingly anticipating his reaction, Mu Qing answered after a while, "Okay. Hurry up."

Shi Yan ran into a trot immediately, met Xia Chen and Peng Lichao at the school gate, greeted them hurriedly, and ran to the front platform.

It takes 2 minutes to get to the platform, and half a minute to go to the front intersection.

When Shi Yan ran out of breath, he saw Mu Qing's car parked in the shadow of the banyan tree from a distance, obviously saw him in the rearview mirror, and opened the door on the sidewalk.

Stopped and walked slowly to get into the car, "First Young Master Mu, are you leaving get off work so early?"

Mu Qing swiped his phone with his head down, and gave him a stern look, "No way?"

Both Uncle Li and Xiao Zeng turned their heads to greet Shi Yan.

Mu Qing handed him a bottle of water, and waited for him to recover before asking, "Where are you going?"

"Huh?" Shi Yan turned on the water and looked at him inexplicably, why did he ask where he was going?

Mu Qing put away the phone impatiently, frowned and said, "Aren't you going to work? Address, I'll take you there."

"Ah!" There was a warm current in Shi Yan's heart, and she said with a smile: "Today is temporarily canceled. I don't have a part-time job tonight, so I have to go back and learn about cocktails."

After speaking, he raised his head to drink water, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the expression on Mu Qing's face became ecstatic at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As for?

Putting the water down, Shi Yan was too embarrassed to look at Mu Qing's blatant smile, and said, "If you have other things, I can go back by myself."

Mu Qing grabbed his hand and held it tightly, saying, "No, let's have dinner first."

Seeing him so happy, Shi Yan couldn't bear to hit him, so she could only say: "It can't be too late, I still have to study."

Mu Qing pouted, "Isn't it just a cocktail? You can ask me, I'm an expert."

"Really?" She looked at him suspiciously.

"Of course, I've been abroad for several years, and I've attended hundreds of parties, okay? And, with the bartender—" I slammed on the brakes, coughed, and said in a different tone, "How many parties did I have before?" A friend specially undertook the production of banquet drinks, and I learned a lot from them."

Shi Yan pretended not to hear the last two words of his previous sentence, and nodded indifferently.

Seeing that Shiyan was completely uninterested in his past and looked indifferent, Mu Qing was somewhat discouraged and said, "There are all kinds of wine hidden in the wine cabinet at home—"

Before he finished speaking, he sat upright with obvious intentions and glanced at Shiyan, obviously waiting for him to speak.

Shi Yan thinks this person is quite naive.

Forget it, the patron's father has many tricks, what else can he do as a foster child, and cooperate with the performance.

"Then can I have a look at those wines?" You don't have to drink them, at least you know what those wines look like and have a general impression.

Mu Qing hit the snake with a stick and pointed to his lips, "120 points."

Seeing Shi Yan hesitated, she added more weight, "I can teach you how to mix wine."

Shi Yan actually didn't take it seriously in her heart, as long as she had the heart, wouldn't she be afraid that she wouldn't be able to learn something?

However, looking at the other party's pretendingly calm appearance, and his expectant eyes——

To be a canary is to meet the various needs of the donor, to be considerate and gentle.

Anyway-

Lean over—

Before Shi Yan posted it, Mu Qing turned his head and impatiently pulled him into his arms and pressed the back of his head domineeringly.

Shi Yan grabbed Mu Qing's suit collar tightly, and when Mu Qing slowed down, she closed her eyes and enjoyed it, her fingers unconsciously fiddled with the brooch on his clothes.

Maybe it was too boring, and maybe it was during the honeymoon period, everything was still so fresh and exciting, and we kept kissing intermittently in the car.

Fortunately, Mu Qing raised the sound insulation panel on the car, otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.

Dinner at a French restaurant near the residence.

Before finishing the meal and paying the bill, bright lights suddenly lit up outside the high-rise restaurant.

It's an evening music and light show.

After Mu Qing signed the bill, he asked Shi Yan, who stretched his chin and looked out the window with relish, "Do you want to see it for a while before leaving?"

This location is just right for the sight of dozens of buildings in the whole city performing light shows.

Shi Yan took a longing look at the colorful lights outside the window, shook her head, "Let's go."

Mu Qing glanced at his watch and said, "It's still early, I'll ask Uncle Li and the others to drive the car back, let's walk home, just in time to digest."

Shi Yan didn't object.

There are many hibiscus and three-leaf plums planted in the flower beds along the way, all of which are in the flowering period. The flowers under the street lamps are bright in color and full of vitality.

Shi Yan and Mu Qing walked into the gate of the residential area side by side.

"By the way, First Young Master Mu," Shi Yan remembered and asked, "Aren't you going to get together with your friends after get off work?"

Mu Qing thought for a while, put his hands in his pockets and said, "There are quite a few people who messed around together, but none of them really talked to each other."

At the age of 16, he was discovered by his father to be the same. Before he packed up and threw it abroad, he resisted and hid in the homes of those so-called friends and classmates, but those people were intimidated by his father's thunderous means and sold him out.

When I went abroad, I also vowed to play jokes with those people, and I wanted to hang out with those people, but within a year, I lost contact one after another.

During that time, Mu Qing fell into an unprecedented loneliness.

"It's rare to meet a confidant in life." Shi Yan said, like him, he didn't even have a single friend. After discovering his sexuality, he got used to keeping a distance from the same sex and the opposite sex.

"How about, First Young Master Mu, shall we be friends?" A sudden whim suggested.

Mu Qing refused flatly without thinking, "No!"

Shi Yan choked up, and said embarrassingly, "That's right, with the identity of First Young Master Mu—"

Mu Qing grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the elevator, pressed him against the wall and kissed him aggressively.

Shi Yan was short of breath, and his legs shrank to the ground limply.

Mu Qing let go of him and asked, "Will you do this to your friends?"

Shi Yan was held by him and leaned into his arms, shook her head, and said softly: "Monitoring—"

There are surveillance cameras in the hallways and they will be seen.

Mu Qing hugged him, "It's okay." Anyway, there are only the two of them on this floor, and the floor manager will come to clean the house during the day, and usually there is no one to see.

Back home, Mu Qing led Shiyan to open the wine cabinet at home, and pulled him to introduce the wines inside, and opened a bottle of each wine for him to taste a couple of sips.

Fortunately, there are only a few types of high-strength alcohol used as the base wine, and it is not difficult to remember. However, there are too many brands, and each taste has a different concentration, so it still needs to be tasted carefully.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Shi Yan lay drunk on the bar counter and watched Mu Qing elegantly mix a simple mixed wine for him.

There is a complete set of bartenders at home, and Mu Qing is also very skilled in making them.

This is the first time the two have really gotten along with each other since they moved in, and they were in a hurry for the past few days.

There are vinyl records in the old-fashioned gramophone at home, jazz from a hundred years ago is wandering in the air, and the trembling singing makes people's souls lazy.

Mu Qing mixed a glass of blue wine, put two mint leaves on the rim of the glass, put the foot of the glass between his index finger and middle finger and pushed it to Shi Yan, and said to him with a smile, "Shi Yan."

Shi Yan took the wine, looked at the light green liquid flowing in the champagne glass, the slight bubbles rustled, and there was a very light floral fragrance, looked up at Mu Qing, and asked: "Me?"

Mu Qing nodded, washed the three-stage shaker and put it on the shelf, rinsed the spoon and cup, dried them, and put them back to their original positions.

"Taste for yourself."

Covering the wine bottle caps one by one, holding the countertop with both hands, smiling and looking at the blushing face.

Shi Yan first put the wine glass under her nose and sniffed it lightly, and then took a sip, "It has a very light taste, with the fragrance of mint, and the noise of sparkling wine. I saw you put 10ml of dark rum."

"Take another sip." Mu Qing encouraged him.

So Shi Yan took a sip of it with great interest, then blushed and said, "There is a thick and strong fragrance in my mouth."

Is this how you feel?

"Really?" Mu Qing snatched the wine glass in his hand with a smile and drank the rest of the wine with his head up. His voice was low and hoarse, "Sweet, with the cold fragrance of mint. Shiyan!"

There is a background light on the side of the bar, which is ambiguous and vague.

Shi Yan didn't know whether it was the name of the wine or her own name that spit out from the other party's mouth, she only saw the other party gently bent down and kissed her eyes, nose tip, and lips.

So romantic!

A unique cocktail with its own unique name.

A kiss with a floral fragrance is lingering.

That's probably the case.

Drowsy, kissing Mu Qing across the bar, the calla lilies in the next vase must have been replaced today, and it still smells like dew.

After doing it twice, considering Shi Yan's physical ability, Mu Qing didn't force him anymore, hugged him, washed him, applied medicine, and the two of them lay on the bed wrapped in the quilt.

"First Young Master Mu, are you busy with work?" Shi Yan asked casually with half-closed eyes, lying on Mu Qing's chest in a daze.

In the dark, Mu Qing pinched his ears, "Not busy. The old man was afraid that I would screw up, so he didn't dare to give me too many things to do. It's annoying to have to follow him to meetings every day."

"I guess I want you to get acquainted with faces in the company first, and take over step by step. You are the only one in your family?"

Mu Qing froze for a moment, and then said indifferently, "I'm the only one in the main house, who knows how many other illegitimate children there are. Anyway, my parents are pretending to be deaf and dumb, and they each cover it up very well."

"Mr. Mu doesn't like you?"

"Pfft!" Mu Qing smiled and hugged him tightly, "Don't call him an old man, he's not yet fifty, and he's in the prime of his life. I can be considered the only son, but I'm the same boy. If it weren't for my grandfather's family With enough power to suppress the Mu family, he probably wanted to replace me a long time ago and bring in the 123456 illegitimate son outside."

"He and my mother are in a business marriage and have no relationship."

There was no sound in the bosom, and it was quiet. Mu Qing opened his eyes and rubbed the earlobe of the person who had fallen asleep in his bosom, feeling sleepless for a while.
