057 Retirement, one billion

After reading the text message three times, Mu Shaoqing made up his mind: "Brother Bai, I'll go out for a while."

"Where are you going?" Bai Ge felt something was wrong when he saw his expression.

"I'll tell you when I get back." Mu Shaoqing put on the mask, put on the sweater hat, stuffed the phone in his pocket, paused before going out, and turned around, "Lend me the car keys."

The bewildered white pigeon handed over the car keys, and after watching the young man go out, he reacted belatedly and hurriedly followed him out.

Blue Mountain Cafe, the location is a bit out of the way, Mu Shaoqing drove for an hour to find the place.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the surrounding environment is quiet, the moment the glass door is opened, there is a crisp wind chime, and there is a mellow and sweet smell in the cafe, and melodious light music reverberates throughout the space, creating a comfortable and leisure style .

This is his second visit here, and 14 years have passed since the first time. The decoration here has been renovated, even the boss has changed, but his memory still stays at that moment.

On that sunny afternoon, he was held by her little hand, ordered a strawberry mousse here, and sat by the window.

It was one of the few fragments of memory he had of his mother.

"Welcome." A pleasant female voice sounded, "What would you like to drink?"

"I'm looking for someone. Table C13." Mu Shaoqing's eyes drooped slightly. A person who had abandoned him a long time ago came to him again after so many years. What on earth does she want to do?

Table C13 is a place near the window, with a red armchair and an off-white square table, a brown-haired woman with exquisite makeup is sitting upright, looking out of the window calmly, she looks very beautiful, with mixed-race facial features, in one fell swoop There is a sense of calm and elegance in every movement, and the clothes, accessories, bags and shoes are all famous brands.

It seems that she has had a good life these years.

Mu Shaoqing walked to the seat opposite her and sat down. The next moment, the waiter brought a strawberry mousse and a cappuccino.

"Long time no see, Ivan." Her voice was sweet and charming.

"Long time no see, mother." Mu Shaoqing took off his mask, his pale pink lips trembled slightly, and his eyes fell on the strawberry mousse. Looks like the same thing, but feels like it's changed.

He quickly put down the spoon, raised his head, and looked at Isa on the opposite side. The emotion in his eyes gradually calmed down, and when he spoke again, he calmed down: "Why are you looking for me?"

·

When Mu Shaoqing returned to the Platinum Mansion again, it was already evening, and the white pigeon entered the door after playing for more than ten minutes, with a more gloomy expression on his face than he did.

"Brother Bai, your car key, when you come back, I will fill up the gas for you."

"...Well." Bai Ge glanced at him thoughtfully, hesitated to speak, he followed all the way, saw that elegant woman, and also saw that expensive luxury car.

Mu Shaoqing went to take a battle bath, changed into light-colored home clothes, and went to the sofa, but he didn't mean to explain.

It wasn't until the little orange cat approached coquettishly and lay on his chest that he reacted: "Brother Bai, you've been doing this for so long, are you ever tired? So tired that you suddenly don't want to do it anymore."

"Life lies in movement. In this life, a person must constantly struggle. Once he stops, he gets used to laziness and his bones get rusted, and he is a useless person." Bai Ge spoke after deliberating, rolling her eyes around, and then continued her efforts. "Even if I suddenly win the lottery and get 5000 million, I can't give up my beloved job!"

"Have you seen it all?" Seeing his "pretentious" appearance, Mu Shaoqing had an epiphany.

"Young Master Mu, you... don't really intend to withdraw from the circle, do you?" Bai Ge frowned, stepped forward shyly, looked at the young man, with many struggles flashing in his eyes.

"Don't think too much, I'm just a little tired, take a break, take time to read the script at night, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Mu Shaoqing held the little orange cat in both hands, turned over, and replied in a low voice.

Bai Ge responded, and after explaining a few more words, turned around and tidied up the room a little before leaving.

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Mu Shaoqing closed his eyes.

Maybe it was because he was really tired. He fell asleep after a while. In a daze, he had a dream. He dreamed that when he was six years old, his mother divorced Mu Hongan without hesitation, and completely disappeared from his world. .

He also dreamed about his previous life, when he was most desperate and difficult, he also thought about looking for her, but in the vast crowd, looking for a needle in a haystack, there was no news at all.

In his previous life, he never saw Isa Mu again until the moment he fell from the building.

And in this life——

She said that she recognized him from "The Strongest Ring", because his half-sister is very interested in Chinese culture and has followed a lot of variety shows.

Isa Mu, who was free at the beginning, resolutely divorced and abandoned her husband and son, finally chose a second marriage. She married a rich man in country E and gave birth to a daughter. Not long ago, her second husband passed away. She suddenly became a rich woman worth billions.

After recognizing him, she had the idea of ​​wanting to recognize him back.

Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, he would actually be able to experience this bloody drama of "go home and inherit the family property if you don't become popular".

Yisha hopes that he will quit the circle directly and go back to country E with her. As long as he nods, he will immediately have a billion yuan. He doesn't have to be chased and scolded for a few days just because he told the truth on a variety show live broadcast, and he doesn't have to make money Staying up all night, wearing multiple jobs, painstakingly.

"Ivan, actually you don't like that circle, come back to me, I know what you want, I can provide you with a better life, you want to paint, or do anything else, it doesn't matter. "

·

The moment the light in the entrance came on, Mu Shaoqing opened his eyes.

It was Yin Cheng who came back.

He sat up, his stomach growled twice, and then he realized that it was getting late, and when he turned his head, it was already 07:30 in the evening.

"Haven't had dinner yet?" Yin Cheng stepped forward and touched the young man's forehead. His body temperature was normal, but he looked listless. He seemed to have something on his mind. "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Mu Shaoqing sat cross-legged on the sofa and thought for a while: "Eat hot pot."

"Eating hot pot again?" Yin Cheng's eyes moved down a little, "how is your abdominal muscle training?"

Mu Shaoqing was slightly embarrassed: "Just, that's it."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the hem of his clothes. He had the habit of exercising, but his abdominal muscles were not obvious when he was not holding his breath. Now when his stomach sucked, a thin layer of muscles could be seen covering it. On the surface, it seems that there is still some distance from the goal that Wang Dao asked for.

And a week ago, he had just binge-eating, so it's no wonder that Yin Cheng disapproved of his method of "turning grief and anger into appetite".

He hesitated for a while: "Let's make something simpler, cook some porridge, and steam a basket of buns."

This time, Yin Cheng was finally satisfied, rolled up his sleeves, and went straight to the kitchen.

Mu Shaoqing hurriedly followed, and the first thought that flashed in his mind was: If he agrees to his mother's request, he probably won't be able to be with Yin Cheng in the future.

Isa is a native of country E, and her attitude towards homosexuality is almost disgusting.

Maybe she was right in part, he really didn't like the intrigues in this circle, he didn't like deliberate marketing, and he didn't like being on the trending searches at every turn, being talked about by people who hated him, and pretending to be a Acting as if nothing had happened.

However, he likes his dedication and hard work to be recognized and liked by others, and he also wants to leave more beautiful traces in his limited vitality, which he can recall when he is old.

The most important thing is that he is not willing to part with Yin Cheng, nor is he willing to give up this hard-won relationship just like that, even if so far, Grandpa Yin and his father don't approve of their relationship.

The porridge with preserved egg and lean meat in the casserole has begun to steam, and the meat buns on the steamer are also emitting fragrance. Yin Cheng turned around and took a few oranges from the refrigerator, just about to squeeze the orange juice.

The young man who was standing at the door suddenly stepped forward, hugged him from behind, and called softly, "Yin Cheng, I'm so hungry."

"You can eat it in another 10 minutes." He put down the orange and asked gently, "Did something happen while I was away?"

Mu Shaoqing didn't want to hide it from him at first: "My mother, my own mother, came to see me today."

Yin Cheng remembered that Isa Mu who resolutely left when the boy was six years old. Mu Shaoqing once took him to the art gallery to see her paintings, a woman who gave up everything for freedom.

"She wants me to quit the circle and go with her." The young man's voice was muffled, with a hint of confusion in his tone, "I know it's not easy for my dad to drag me so far, so I never dared to talk to him in front of him. Later, I asked where my mother was. Later, when Aunt Fan came in, I didn’t make a fuss. He has worked hard enough in his life, and finally ushered in a second spring..."

"If my memory is worse and I don't remember anything, maybe it will be better? Today she asked me to go to the Blue Mountain Cafe. When I was five years old, she took me there once and ordered a strawberry mousse Si, sweet and delicate, I remember the taste for a long time, and when I revisit it today, I feel that everything has changed.”

"She remarried and had a daughter who was eight years old. Her husband passed away and left her a large inheritance. I can't even figure it out. Why did she come back to me?"

Mu Shaoqing was talking, but there was no sound.

Yin Cheng went to turn off the induction cooker, then turned around, picked him up, walked to the sofa in the living room, took out two tissues and handed them over.

Sitting on the sofa, Mu Shaoqing blinked his eyes slowly. His eye sockets were a little dry. He knew that even if his chest was a little congested, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable and shed tears.

"I'm fine." He shook his head slightly.

Yin Cheng responded lightly, without refuting, even though he looked like he was about to cry.

Mu Shaoqing's eyes flickered slightly, and when he met the man's deep and dark eyes, tears that had not yet formed burst out of his eyes, he took a deep breath, and said softly: "I didn't cry, it's just that I got sand in my eyes. "

"Yeah." Yin Cheng let him open his eyes and talk nonsense.

After a while, Mu Shaoqing threw himself into his arms, and his voice was so soft that he could hardly hear it clearly: "I kept telling myself that I am actually very happy. My dad treats me like a baby bump and pampers me, even if he gives me a baby later. After marrying a stepmother, she is not the kind who will bully others. Although the younger sister is not the same mother as me, she has always been close to my brother..."

But actually?

There is still a little unwillingness and regret hidden in his heart. Occasionally seeing the happy family of the three of them, he will be a little bit at a loss and feel like an outsider.

Today I learned that his own mother, who abandoned him for freedom, actually remarried and had her own child with another man. Even if the man has passed away, at least the girl can be lucky to stay with her mother.

His parents divorced, reorganized the family, and opened a new chapter.

He is like that gray stroke submerged in history...

No, he is obviously very happy already, why should he ask for anything else?

With such contradictory and complicated moods, Mu Shaoqing didn't directly reject Yisha's request. After returning, he was bored alone. He didn't know who to tell, and it might be a bit hypocritical to say it.

"Not hypocritical." Yin Cheng gave an affirmative answer.

Mu Shaoqing was stunned, obviously just like Sui Sui Nian, and didn't expect the other party to hear it, but Yin Cheng could hear it clearly, the man's warm palm brushed his hair, and his voice was low and full of magnetism: "You And have a new family of their own."
