Mr. Jiang's little trick

No matter how hard it was for Cheng Mu to fall asleep, he leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the low-brightness small desk lamp with a numb expression, and just sat quietly all night.

At six o'clock in the morning, when the alarm rang, Cheng Mu blinked, and his empty eyes finally returned to normal.

In these few hours, he may have thought a lot, or maybe he didn't think about anything. In the past few years alone, he is used to using silence to fight against the unbearable past.

After washing up, he made himself a sumptuous breakfast. Cheng Mu ate slowly, his indifferent expression making every movement of him seem so numb and mechanical.

Winter in the north is always dry and snowy. When Cheng Mu picked up his mobile phone and sat on the sofa, the gloomy sky outside the window began to snow again.

The high school class group was set by Cheng Mu to block group messages. Now that he opened it, a series of messages frantically swiped the screen, and all kinds of weird emoticons jumped into his eyes.

He clicked on the group announcement and found that the monitor of the party had already notified him a week ago, and he reminded him again yesterday, to guard against students like Cheng Mu who like to block news.

Cheng Mu replied to Shi Pei's message: [Okay. 】

Shi Pei replied almost in seconds: [My great writer, you have finally passed the level!Shocked my whole family.jpg]

Cheng Mu: […]

Shi Pei: [giao!I clearly saw that your article was finished, and I still said on Weibo that I would take a two-month break, but after waiting for several days, I didn't see you appearing, and I was so anxious to death.Exhale.jpg]

Every time Shi Pei sent a message, she had to receive an emoji. Cheng Mu thought that girls like to chat like this now?

So he also responded with a system emoji: [Smiling]

Shi Pei: [If I didn't know you well, I would have thought you were mocking me.Hum chirping.jpg]

Cheng Mu: [? 】

Shi Pei: [Forget it, forget it, did you agree to come to the class reunion?Actually, I'm just asking, if you don't feel well, you don't have to come. 】

Among the friends back then, only Shi Pei kept in touch with him and knew something about him. She said this to take care of him. After all, she...

Cheng Mu pondered for a moment, and finally replied: [Maybe I should learn to change]

……

The hotel where the party was held was owned by the squad leader's family. Cheng Mu took a taxi there. The snow outside had dropped a lot, but the temperature was still very low. When he got out of the car, he couldn't help wrapping up his scarf again.

Shi Pei was waiting for him in the hall, and he hadn't seen him for five years. The chubby little girl had grown into a tall and graceful girl. She grinned when she saw him, she was still so innocent and cute.

"Wow, our Mu Mu has grown taller again!" Shi Pei raised his hand and gestured a few times, and tiptoed only reached Cheng Mu's shoulder, "Well, it must be 1.8 meters."

Cheng Mu said: "1.8 meters two."

"Not bad." Shi Pei looked him up and down a few times, touched his chin and said, "It's just too thin, Mu Mu, you need to eat more."

Cheng Mu smiled: "Yes."

The party was on the fourth floor. The two of them took the elevator while talking. When they reached the second floor, five more people came in. The originally small space seemed even more cramped.

Shi Pei put away her smile, looked at Cheng Mu, adjusted her position silently, and wanted to use her body to separate other people from Cheng Mu, and kept a certain distance from Cheng Mu herself, trying not to have physical contact with him.

Cheng Mu naturally noticed her movements. Seeing that a fat middle-aged man took two steps back and was about to bump into Shi Pei, Cheng Mu grabbed her arm and led him towards him. The five people also chose their positions and stood. Sure enough, Cheng Mu quickly withdrew his hand.

"Is it okay?" Shi Pei looked at the place where Cheng Mu's hand had just grabbed him, and asked silently in disbelief.

Cheng Mu smiled at her, shook his head, indicating that he was fine, then looked ahead, slowly adjusted his breathing, and squeezed his sweaty palms.

There were 50 people in the class, except those who couldn't make it for various reasons, this time there were [-] people, all in a large private room on the fourth floor.

Everyone gathered in small groups to talk, Shi Pei took Cheng Mu into the group of girls as soon as he entered the door, after a few pleasantries, one of the girls took out a book from the bag, and tugged Shi Pei flatteringly. clothes.

Shi Pei took the book, handed it to Cheng Mu, and said with a smile: "Mu Mu, book fans are coming to your door, can you sign it?"

Cheng Mu understood, took the novel that had been read many times at first glance, took out a pen from his pocket, opened the title page, looked at the girl with a faint smile and said, "Do you need a TO?"

That girl didn't know Cheng Mu well when she was in high school, but now that he saw her, she instantly became more nervous, and said foolishly, "What?"

Shi Pei said helplessly: "TO Zheng Xiaoyue, this is her sister's book. Her sister likes you very much. She has read every novel of yours."

"It can be seen." Cheng Mu first signed his pen name, and then wrote TO Zheng Xiaoyue beside it.

The girl took the book back, looked at the beautiful words, and smiled gratefully at Cheng Mu: "Xiaoyue overheard my conversation with Peipei, and knew that her favorite author was my high school classmate. This time, she begged me for an autograph for nothing at this party, and it really troubled classmate Cheng."

Cheng Mu said politely, "It's okay."

After signing, several girls chatted again, from high school life to the current work and marriage, happy and sad.

Just after the topic of having a baby was over, a person suddenly said: "Jiang Xueba has returned to China, do you know?"

Cheng Mu, who had been quietly sitting aside and out of the way of the topic, paused, the pressing pen in his hand clicked, and the silver tip popped out, like a deeply hidden thought, exposed to the air unexpectedly.

Another person continued: "I know, I just saw the squad leader go out, I should go pick him up."

Several people chattered about Jiang Lin, Shi Pei saw Cheng Mu's suddenly calm expression, turned his head and coughed a few times at the girls.

"Er..." Several people seemed to have remembered something, looked at Cheng Mu, and smiled awkwardly.

As we all know, in No. [-] Middle School back then, Cheng Mu was the most difficult person with Jiang Lin.

Cheng Mu pressed the tip of the pen back and said with a light smile, "It doesn't matter, that's all in the past, it's just youth and frivolity, and it's not a big grudge."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the door of the private room opened suddenly, and someone walked in talking and laughing.

The noisy crowd quieted down, and Cheng Mu heard the man say, "Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road, I'm late."

Cheng Mu, are you sure you want to break up with me?

The deep voice coincided with the voice deep in the memory, Cheng Mu closed his eyes, and the hands on his knees trembled uncontrollably.
