I am in love with myself

Chen Han couldn't react to the successive shocks. She stared at An Mu without blinking her bloodshot eyes, and murmured, "You...what did you say?"

"I said, I didn't know you were lying to me, but now I know."

An Mu didn't say much, walked to the entrance again and opened the door.

"Can Teacher Chen go now? I really have something to do, I'm afraid I can't entertain you."

Chen Han lowered his eyes, and his red lips were drawn into a line. It took him a long time to stand up, and he fumbled out of his trouser pocket to find a small box like a ring box, with a pearl ribbon tied at the diagonal.

"I said yesterday that I will make up your birthday gift today. Happy birthday."

Chen Han handed the box to An Mu with an indescribably bleak look on his face, as if An Mu would be too unsympathetic if he refused.

An Mu glanced at the box lightly, and opened the door wider.

"Thank you, I don't think I'm suitable for such an expensive gift."

Chen Han smiled wryly, and explained: "It's not a ring, it's just a pendant."

"You've cooked me a meal to celebrate, and that's enough."

Chen Han took the box back in silence, walked to the entrance with downcast eyes, changed his shoes and bag, and handed the box to An Mu again before going out.

"The first birthday gift was bumped, and the second one was rejected again. I was too failed... Just take it as a thank you for helping me, so please accept it."

An Mu didn't even look at the gift this time, and said calmly, "It's almost three o'clock, and Jian Yixi's seven o'clock car."

Another chase.

Chen Han glanced at Jian Yixi who had already touched An Mu's arm when she was changing her shoes, said nothing more, grabbed the scarlet box, turned around and left, the sound of high heels stepping on the corridor was empty and empty. lonely.

An Mu closed the door and shook his cumbersome arms.

"Why are you hugging so tightly?"

"I'm not afraid that she will pester you."

"She won't."

"How do you know it won't? Besides, you taught me? You must be on guard against others."

"At least not now."

Well, Jian Yixi was speechless. In fact, she also felt that a person of Chen Han's status would not cling to her arms and legs like a street shrew, but she just didn't feel at ease, as long as An Mu was involved , she felt that she could never be too careful.

——An Mu is so beautiful and outstanding, who wouldn't like it?What if people take advantage of it?

An Mu stuffed the phone into the satchel in the entrance, and said to Jian Yixi, "Go and pack your things, shall we leave now?"

"Now? Is it a little early?"

"Let's turn a corner."

This bend is really unusually big. Jian Yixi stood at the entrance of the Forbidden City, looking at the huge palace gate, she was completely stunned.

"This...you have to book tickets many days in advance, right? Where did you get the tickets?"

"I asked my little aunt to help me order it."

"When?"

"last night."

"But I'm leaving soon, there's no time to see anything, isn't this a waste?"

"No waste, I'm not showing you a building, I'm showing you a living thing."

In her previous life, Jian Yixi was very busy. Apart from business trips, she had no chance to go anywhere other than Beijing. Occasionally, she could only wander around the city when she had free time, and the Forbidden City was the place she visited most.

An Mu led her through the crowds of tourists, and walked along the long palace road. On both sides of the palace road were towering palace walls, vermilion walls, and a solemn atmosphere. The blue sky and white clouds seem to reveal the taste of history.

The 16-year-old Jian Yixi had never been here before, and she got lost after turning three or two turns. She simply stopped looking at the road and let An Mu lead her.

An Mu took her directly into the Yihexuan, and when she glanced at it, it was all vermilion, and the pillars and rooms were all quaint red.

Jian Yixi held An Mu's arm and looked around, marveling at the beauty of classical architecture. The moment she stepped into the threshold, she was brought into the long river of history, as if she had crossed over.

Just as she was watching, An Mu's footsteps stopped on a window sill.

The setting sun was just right, and a raccoon cat lay lazily on a window sill into a puddle of cat cakes. The golden sunlight fell on it. It squinted comfortably, and stretched its cat paws unconsciously. The soft pads were pink and tender. People always want to pinch.

An Mu took out the phone and approached it cautiously. The raccoon cat raised its eyelids slightly and gave her a cat-like glance, and then closed it slowly and gracefully, not afraid of people at all.

An Mu took several photos one after another, just like in his previous life, and saved them in his mobile phone, and took them out to have a look at them when he was busy.

Jian Yixi also took a few pictures with her mobile phone, but she didn't take pictures of cats, but took pictures of warped cornices and quaint small courtyards.

An Mu said, "I just brought you to see it."

Jian Yixi then turned her attention back to the cat.

"Look at it? Come to the Forbidden City to see cats?"

Jian Yixi blinked her long eyelashes, seemingly incomprehensible. Under the sunlight, the tip of the eyelashes seemed to be transparent, and the fine hairs on the side of her face were clearly visible, with the unique softness of a girl.

"Why? Is this cat different? I look similar to the stray cats outside."

"It's almost the same, but cats have different lives. They are luckier than those pet cats who are petted by their owners. They have food, drink and... freedom."

An Mu looked at the raccoon cat with soft and distant eyes, and the shadow of the mottled tree loomed behind him, swaying, as if he had returned to the past.

"It's called Xiaozai. It likes to stay here in Yihexuan, and sometimes it will stroll to the Treasure Hall. Many people jokingly call it the guard with claws in Yihexuan. I always look at it every time I come, but unfortunately..."

"What a pity?"

It's a pity that it died later, and she couldn't see it even if she wanted to. She asked the staff specifically and said that it was gone on December [-]th, which is the coldest time in the twelfth lunar month.

An Mu lowered his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Unfortunately, I haven't seen it for a long time. When you came yesterday, I suddenly wanted to take you to see it."

Hearing that she brought her here to see it, Jian Yixi finally became very interested in this cat.

She stopped taking pictures of the cornice glazed tiles, and turned to the cubs. She took more pictures and took more pictures. An Mu's cats were indeed different. The more she looked at them, the better they looked. The wild cats outside couldn't compare.

Jian Yixi loves Wu and Wu, and after taking a few photos, she liked it so much that she wished she could steal the cat away.

"Does this cat have an owner?"

"Yes, there are many cats in the Forbidden City, not just one cub, they all have owners, that is themselves."

"Myself?" Jian Yixi looked up at her, a little surprised, "Then what do they usually eat?"

"There are staff members who will feed you."

Jian Yixi suddenly realized, "They are cats from the Forbidden City."

An Mu corrected: "They are cats living in the Forbidden City."

"What's the difference?"

"The Forbidden City is not their master. The Forbidden City is their home. They can choose to stay or leave. Everything is their freedom. They can live the life they want. I used to... envy them."

"Ever?" Jian Yixi raised her eyes to look at An Mu, her clear eyes looked to the end, "Aren't you envious now?"

"No."

An Muyang showed the brightest smile since his rebirth. Even though it was still very shallow, it was enough to amaze this afternoon.

"I can already control my own life, and I can do whatever I want, and I don't have to envy them anymore."

Jian Yixi stared blankly at her smile, as if infected, she followed her smile like a flower, the small dimple at the corner of her lips carried the sunshine of the entire Yihexuan, shining beautifully.

"That's really great~! Me too, I don't have to envy them, I also get rid of Jane's family, and I can control my own life~!"

After a pause, Jian Yixi asked again: "There are so many cats in the Forbidden City, why do you like this one the most?"

An Mu's white fingertips approached the cub, trying to touch its pink nose, but in the end he didn't.

"Because it is the laziest and loves to bask in the sun and sleep late, or maybe it is not the laziest one, but I have a relationship with it, and I can find it every time I come, unlike Oboi, who met him on the palace road several times , It cocked its tail and got into the next hall, the side door of the hall is locked, I can only look at it from the crack of the door, when I go around to the hall, it disappears."

"Aobai?"

"Yes, the hair on its head is very special. At first glance, it reminds people of Oboi."

"That must be fun."

"Want to see it?" An Mu asked with a smile.

Jian Yixi took her arm and smiled Qiaoxi and nodded fiercely, "Of course I want to! Take me to see~!"

"It may not be possible to find it."

"If you don't look for it, you will definitely not find it!"

An Mu took a few more photos of the cubs, and then reluctantly led Jian Yixi away from Yihexuan.

The palace walls were towering, and the palace road seemed endless. An Mu led her around, as if visiting her own back garden. Those who were familiar with the road didn't even look at the signs.

After searching around for a long time, I met another cat, but I didn't see the Oboi that An Mu mentioned.

An Mu looked at the time. It was almost time to leave. If it was later, he might miss the train, and the park would be closed here.

Came in a hurry, left in a hurry, did not stay long in the garden, Jian Yixi really felt that the ticket was well spent.

Muttering, An Mu suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the red palace wall.

The palace road is long and long, and I don’t know which palace is on the other side of the palace wall. In the palace, a huge ginkgo tree sticks out its branches and leaves, and the oily green fan-shaped leaves are crowded with the branches. When you look at it, you can see the fan leaves, the blue sky, and the soft clouds. The setting sun falls on the branches, the wind blows through the trees and the years are quiet. No matter how irritable the heart is, it will not be able to hold back the silence at this moment.

Jian Yixi sighed: "It's so beautiful."

An Mu slowly looked away, "I still remember the last time I saw it, it was in autumn, it was really beautiful, the trees were golden, like the sun, when you are admitted to Tsinghua University, it happens to be autumn, I will bring you Come and see."

"Okay~! And Oboi, let's watch together then!"

"We want to see all the cats in the Forbidden City~!"

Leaving the Forbidden City and taking a taxi, the bustling city was locked outside the car. Jian Yixi peeked at the window for a while, then turned her head and smiled at An Mu: "I took the bus when I came here, and I passed by it. Too bad no photos were taken.”

"When you are admitted to Tsinghua University, you can shoot at any time."

"I will definitely pass the exam!"

No matter how nice it is outside the window, it can't compare to An Mu. Jian Yixi took another look, and then his eyes turned to An Mu.

"Aren't you going to call Liang Sirui again?"

"Don't fight for a few days, let her calm down."

——Is it because one day I made you angry, you ignored me and let me calm down?

——No, why did she think about this question?She wouldn't make An Mu angry!

"Guess, I actually wanted to ask you just now, how did you guess that Chen Han lied to you?"

The author has something to say: Sure enough, it is right not to set up a flag. I almost said yesterday that I will fix it at [-]:[-] noon and [-]:[-] p.m.

Fortunately, I didn't say it, or it would fall again!

Soothe your chest, it's too dangerous!
