Yuan Mu personally picked out a bagful of fruit and carried it, nervously ringing the bell.

"I'm coming……"

The voice stopped on the other side of the door, and the door opened after a while. Luo Meijuan smiled a bit reluctantly: "Why are you here, what's the matter?"

"I have time today. I will visit you. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Hey, it's convenient, come in." Luo Meijuan let the door open, and turned around to get her indoor slippers.

"Auntie, I brought you some fruit." Yuan Mu handed it forward.

Luo Meijuan hesitated for a moment, but didn't reach out: "Look at you, come here as soon as you come, and bring anything."

"Eat more fruits, it's good for your skin." Yuan Mu passed the bag forward again, looking at Luo Meijuan sincerely.

"...Okay then, I'll take it this time first, thank you, don't bring it next time."

Yuan Mu was in a relaxed mood, and the aunt said there would be a next time, which proved that at least the aunt did not reject herself.But Yuan Mu didn't answer, because she would definitely bring something next time, so she was embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed.

"Auntie is making tea?"

There was a set of tea sets on the coffee table in the living room, the water was about to boil, and there was a gurgling sound. Yuan Mu stood beside the pier, staring at the rice-colored kettle.

"Yeah," Luo Meijuan saw that she was staring at her seriously, and said, "Qiqi chose the kettle, and the quality is pretty good... What kind of tea do you want to drink? I have Tieguanyin, Pu'er, Júhua tea, and rose tea. .”

Yuan Mu sat on the pier: "Juhua tea, thank you, Auntie."

"Baihuo, I drink this too." Luo Meijuan began to make tea.

Making tea is a quiet process. Once it is quiet, the atmosphere is not right. It seems that the water from the broken refill is not smooth. I can’t see where the sharp and thorns are scratching the good white paper. irritable.Yuan Mu tried hard to think about what topics to talk about. After working so hard for a long time, the tea was ready.

"Thank you, auntie." Yuan Mu took the teacup with both hands, took a sip, "It's delicious."

"Average level." Luo Meijuan said modestly, obviously absent-minded.This scented tea tastes like tap water when swallowed, and it still hurts her throat a bit. After two sips, Luo Meijuan couldn't take it anymore, and asked Yuan Mu, "Does Teacher Sheng know you're here?"

Yuan Mu nodded: "I know."

"Is she busy?"

"do not know."

"It's probably not busy. I'll call and ask." Luo Meijuan said to herself, and called Sheng Fengshi, who was connected immediately.

The room was very quiet, Yuan Mu could hear Sheng Fengshi's voice on the receiver, but she was a little far away from Luo Meijuan, so she could hear very lightly, Yuan Mu's upper body involuntarily leaned forward, and turned his head to carefully identify it.The communication between Luo Meijuan and Sheng Fengshi is as natural and smooth as running water. In contrast, the relationship between Yuan Mu and Luo Meijuan is not called "interaction", but "interaction".

"Then come here if you don't have any plans, it's not too far before off-duty time." Luo Meijuan persuaded.

"It's too late now, and the journey is long. When I get there, you should all have dinner. Maybe another day."

"It's not late, it's not too late, Wei Liang has a social event today, and you just came to have dinner together, and you can go out together after dinner, okay?"

"Well, I'll go over now. Yuan Mu likes movies. If you don't mind, you can watch one with her. I'll be there as soon as possible."

"Okay, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Meijuan picked up the remote control to switch to movie on demand, handed the remote control to Yuan Mu and said, "Fengshi said you like watching movies, you can find what you want to watch, can you use it?"

"meeting."

Although it shouldn't be, Yuan Mu did feel a sense of relief.There was a recommendation page on the screen. Yuan Mu didn't change the channel immediately. He watched several recommended movies first, and accidentally found an old movie from a few years ago. He was quite impressed and chose to play it.

"Don't sit on the pier, it's not convenient to look sideways, come and sit here." Luo Meijuan greeted her, and looked up at Yuan Mu's movie, the name was "The Story of Hachiko the Faithful Dog".Luo Meijuan thought nonchalantly: Little girls like to watch cat and dog movies.

After Yuan Mu sat down, there was a distance of about one meter between Luo Meijuan and Luo Meijuan. This distance made Luo Meijuan quite comfortable, and she couldn't help but judge Yuan Mu in her heart: Although his temper was a little dull, he was really a caring child.The guests were sitting here watching the movie, and Luo Meijuan couldn't go away, drinking tea while watching it with Yuan Mu, at first she just felt that the colors were coordinated, but after watching it for a few minutes, she became a little immersed in it, and gradually forgot the embarrassment, and calmed down.

The rhythm of the movie was gentle, Yuan Mu and Luo Meijuan sat quietly on the sofa, watching them engrossed, and they couldn't notice the passage of time.

When the doorbell rang suddenly, Yuan Mu sat up straight immediately, turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, and then turned around and was startled. Two lines of tears on Luo Meijuan's face pooled to his chin and were dripping down.

"……Aunt?"

"Hey, I'm going to open the door." Luo Meijuan was so sad that tears were still flowing, she pressed pause, took two tissues and walked while wiping.Yuan Mu thought for a while, and followed behind to the door.

Seeing Luo Meijuan like this, Sheng Fengshi was slightly surprised, passed the fruit bag over, and looked at Yuan Mu behind, Yuan Mu explained: ""The Story of Hachiko the Faithful Dog", grandpa passed away." Sheng Fengshi nodded, and went in to change his shoes .Luo Meijuan was anxious to watch the movie, and walked ahead, Sheng Fengshi asked Yuan Mu softly, "How long is the movie?"

"Half an hour." Yuan Mu saw the progress bar when Luo Meijuan paused just now.

"Are you hungry?" This question is lighter.

"A little bit." Yuan Mu replied softly.

The three sat down, Yuan Mu was still one meter away from Luo Meijuan, the length of the sofa was limited, and there was less than half a meter between Yuan Mu and Sheng Fengshi.Sheng Fengshi put the handbag on his lap and took out a small plastic bag from it. Yuan Mu opened it and saw that there was a croissant and a box of yogurt inside.Yuan Mu tilted his head and stared at Sheng Fengshi for a while, then a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, Teacher Sheng."

"No need." Sheng Fengshi said politely.

"Half?"

"I have already eaten."

Yuan Mu nodded and looked away.

The movie was playing, Luo Meijuan was sobbing, Yuan Mu was eating silently, Sheng Fengshi exhaled slowly and without a trace, and then took a deep breath, like this three times, with a steady and violent heartbeat.It was getting dark outside the window.

Luo Meijuan didn't remember the way of hospitality until after listening to the ending song. She wiped away her tears and said, "I'm sorry, are you all hungry? I'll cook right now, you can do whatever you want."

Yuan Mu got up: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Sit down, sit down, talk." Luo Meijuan sadly walked to the kitchen.

Now that the sofa is more spacious, Yuan Mu still sat in his original position without creating a distance between the two of them. "Mr. Sheng, are you here today to delay work?"

"It's also part of my job."

Yuan Mu's heart thumped, and he paused for half a minute before asking, "I'll give you the bread and yogurt?"

Sheng Fengshi thought for a moment: "Okay."

"How many?"

Sheng Fengshi was taken aback: "Mobile payment, I forgot."

"Living in a big city is really convenient." Yuan Mu sighed suddenly, and suddenly became more courageous, "Mr. Sheng, I invite you to pay for dinner, is it okay?"

"Let me check the payment records." Sheng Fengshi took out his mobile phone.

Yuan Mu's courage was exhausted in an instant after being pricked.

The sound of cooking comes from the kitchen, and the lighting in the room is warmer, giving people the illusion of being at home.In a daze, Yuan Mu looked at Sheng Fengshi's face, feeling that he would never get tired of watching it for a long time.Unknowingly, Yuan Mu stared at her for two to three minutes. Sheng Fengshi couldn't bear it anymore and gave her a glare.

Yuan Mu bowed his head, feeling ashamed: "I'm sorry."

"Do you often stare at other people?"

"No, I just stared at you."

Sheng Fengshi was speechless.

"I like you."

"You said it."

"like very much."

"Thank you."

Yuan Mu thought about it, he had nothing to say, so he fell silent with peace of mind.Sheng Fengshi thinks the silent Yuan Mu is the cutest.

Luo Meijuan brought out the dishes one after another. She was still immersed in the ocean of sadness, and she didn't care about the lively atmosphere. Sheng Fengshi and Yuan Mu were so happy that they didn't talk. The three of them had a quiet dinner at the same table, and the scene was completely weird. with harmony.After eating, Sheng Fengshi stayed with Yuan Mu for half an hour, then took his leave and left.

The two went on their way.

Although they were silent, even if they saw it from a distance, they wouldn't think that they were two unrelated people.Sheng Fengshi is always sober, so she can always feel that there is a tacit understanding between her and Yuan Mu that does not need to be maintained deliberately - just like Yuan Mu said, "heart to heart". "Existence" is a state and an objective fact. If Sheng Fengshi does not lie to his ears, he will not deny this "existence".In the face of potential danger, Sheng Fengshi does not want to sit still, but since his contact with Yuan Mu, Sheng Fengshi has felt helpless more than once.Because the word danger is often accompanied by temptation.

Yuan Mu followed Sheng Fengshi to get off at the school, and asked, "Can I take you home?"

"No."

Yuan Mu asked again: "Are you free tomorrow? I would like to treat you to dinner."

Sheng Fengshi: "I'm afraid I don't have time."

Yuan Mu: "If I want to discuss with you the plan to communicate with Zou Qi next week, are you free tomorrow?"

Sheng Fengshi pondered for a long time, during which Yuan Mu was not in a hurry, he just looked at her with a pair of clear eyes, the students around him came and went, Yuan Mu's eyes were good, and he was single-minded.Finally, Sheng Fengshi said, "Yes."

"Thank you!" Yuan Muxi was overjoyed, looked at the time and said, "I won't delay you, may I call you when I get back?"

"it is good."

"Then, bye!"

"Goodbye."

Sheng Fengshi turned and walked away, about 20 meters away, looked back, and then regretted doing so.It was already dark, and the street lamps and neon lights painted the street with unreal light, Yuan Mu still stood facing her direction, and smiled at her over the passers-by—of course he couldn’t see the face clearly, this was intuition, even surpassed Intuitively, Sheng Fengshi knew that Yuan Mu smiled, and he pursed his lips, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"..."

There should be no turning back.

Helpless, helpless.
