Goodbye, Mr. Mu

Chai Fei likes the days after he was discharged from the hospital. When he opened his eyes, he could have Mu Huaizhang’s good-morning kiss, and he could also have the chicken soup that his mother asked his aunt to send him. Touched a warm and furry little thing.

Although Mu Huaizhang didn't welcome the old cat to get into the bed, he often shut the old cat out of the bedroom door when he got up.

Every time Chai Fei wakes up, he puts the old cat who was slamming the door in and holds him in his arms.

"Kiss one, baby."

Mu Huaizhang would look at Chai Fei on the bed, and couldn't help saying bitterly: "It's the most precious thing in our family."

Often when these words are said, Chai Fei will rub against him, kiss his cheek, and smile: "Well, our family is just such a baby. Kiss another one?"

Of course Mu Huaizhang would not be polite, he raised his arms to wrap his arms around him, and kissed him on the lips.

When and where the old cat slipped away, Chai Fei didn't quite remember, but he remembered that some people always stopped when he seemed to be asking for more, and then left the bedroom with a satisfied face like an old fox, and fled.

When Chai Fei came back to his senses, only the old cat was staring at the strange self on the bed by the window. After one person and one cat looked at each other, the old cat gave a "meow" for some unknown reason, and Chai Fei smiled helplessly.

He got up and put on a sweater, looked at the still dark weather outside, frowned dissatisfiedly, and then went out to look for Mu Huaizhang who had escaped, but fortunately Mu Huaizhang did not go far, as soon as Chai Fei went out, he saw the next door The door of his study room was wide open, and Mu Huaizhang had been holding video conferences in the study room for the past few days, and Chai Fei didn't come in very often, for fear of disturbing him.

Chai Fei stood at the door and looked in. The computer screen was black, and Mu Huaizhang was standing outside the balcony connected to the study, talking on the phone. He touched the corner of Mu Huaizhang's clothes, watched Mu Huaizhang hang up the phone again, took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket, put the cigarette in his mouth, and lit it, all in one go.

"Looks like it's not a good call." Chai Fei muttered, but never went in, just watched Mu Huaizhang take a few puffs of cigarettes, then turned around and glanced at himself.

Chai Fei's gaze and Mu Huaizhang's gaze should have been facing each other far away, but Mu Huaizhang's gaze seemed to dodge for a moment, and Chai Fei followed suit.

Mu Huaizhang walked in, closed the French windows of the balcony, and asked him, "Why are you standing at the door?"

When Mu Huaizhang smelled of smoke, he subconsciously kept a distance from Chai Fei. He stood still, and Chai Fei still held the doorknob: "I'm afraid you will come in. You won't even have the chance to smoke behind my back."

"What did you say?" Mu Huaizhang blushed a little, and explained calmly, "I only smoked one this week, and I was caught by you."

Chai Fei glanced at Mu Huaizhang. In fact, he did not stop Mu Huaizhang from smoking. Mu Huaizhang carried more things on his shoulders than he did, and even took all the things that should have been carried on his shoulders. Chai Fei knew, but he didn't ask him, and it was not easy to ask him.

So much so that he could only hear side-by-side information from Cheng Haifeng and his mother, and listened to scraps.The vague outline of the story made him completely unable to figure out what Mu Huaizhang was going to do, what he was doing, let alone helping.

"Bang—pat—"

"Oops..." Hearing this familiar voice, the corners of Chai Fei's eyes twitched, and he turned around and ran to the restaurant where there was noise, "Little cat, did you do something bad again?"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Chai Fei looked at the shattered glass and the flowers lying peacefully beside the glass.The flowers were newly bought by Mu Huaizhang yesterday. He said that he met someone selling flowers at a discount on the way back. Chai Fei laughed at him and said, "Who got them early in the morning? The flowers are on discount." flowers to please him.

Of course, it did please her, and a sweet kiss from Boss Chai was also included.

The flowers were placed in the glass vase that Chai Fei bought for Mu Huaizhang. Mu Huaizhang originally said that it would be beautiful in the living room, but the coffee table in the living room was too short. Chai Fei would open the vase for fear that the old cat would lose his shape. They discussed putting the vase in the middle of the dining table. After all, the dining table is so high that it takes a little effort for the old cat to jump on it.

But unexpectedly, even so, the old cat jumped onto the dining table unceremoniously, knocked down the vase when it was still biting flowers to eat, and Chai Fei looked at the old man who was standing on the other side of the dining table and also looked at the mess. The cat, he stretched out his hand to hug the cat, and the old cat "meowed" a few times pretending to be wronged.

"Are you still wronged? Come on, I'll put you in confinement!" He threw the old cat back into the bedroom, closed the door of the bedroom before coming out.

Just looking at the dining room, Mu Huaizhang was squatting down to pick up the large pieces of glass. I don't know when Mu Huaizhang came out. It was probably because the smell of smoke was gone. Chai Fei stood there in a daze, watching the squatting The person who was picking up the glass on his lower body, just like Mu Huaizhang went to his bookstore one night before.

Mu Huaizhang felt the figure standing still not far away, so he was distracted and said: "Don't come over, look at your feet."

Chai Fei came back to his senses, said "Yes", then turned around to get a broom, and handed it to Mu Huaizhang like that night: "Be careful, use this broom?"

Mu Huaizhang took the broom he handed over, and heard Chai Fei continue to say: "I didn't expect it to be this troublemaker again, breaking the vase."

Mu Huaizhang tidied it up and down, and replied: "It's okay, I'm about to go out, so I'll go buy another one. By the way, do you want me to bring something else back?"

"Hmm—" Chai Fei thought about it seriously, "I want to drink a cup of latte."

"You," Mu Huaizhang paused, not willing to say harsh words, "Can you drink?"

Chai Fei shook his head honestly: "Then buy it and smell it, I won't drink it."

Although he said so, Chai Fei had already made plans in his heart. When Mu Huaizhang bought it back, he said, just take a sip, and if you don't drink it, just sip it.

Mu Huaizhang was like the roundworm in his belly, he saw through it at a glance: "Forget it, you don't drink, just dip it with chopsticks?"

Chai Fei was overwhelmed, so he had to smile and lift the garbage to Mu Huaizhang who was standing at the door, and blamed him.

"Then you still ask, next time you go out, don't ask."

"Okay, okay, don't ask, don't ask." Mu Huaizhang took the plastic bag that Chai Fei handed over, patted the back of Chai Fei's cold hand, and then sighed, "I don't know when I will be able to take this bag of yours. Warm your hands."

"Stop it, go out!" Chai Fei blasted people out, and started to keep people back before leaving, "Are you coming back at noon? Shall I wait for you for dinner?"

"Wait for me. Be sure to come back."

"Okay. Be careful on the road."

Chai Fei watched Mu Huaizhang go out, and opened the refrigerator to look. When his own mother came, he bought a lot of vegetables with his aunt and filled the entire refrigerator. He didn’t cook at first, but he was afraid The refrigerator was broken, so I had to download the APP and learn how to cook at home every day.

Fortunately, the talent is not bad, I didn’t blow up Mu Huaizhang’s kitchen, and what I made was okay, of course, sometimes there was no salt, Mu Huaizhang, the No. I am very satisfied with my cooking skills.

I am so satisfied that I think about what to do today with enthusiasm every day.

He took out the vegetables from the refrigerator, moved to a small bench and sat down to choose the vegetables. He didn't forget to check what message Mu Huaizhang had sent when his phone was vibrating.

"The boss downstairs said that there is no latte today, only American style. But there is a new cake, so I asked him to keep one and come back later to get it." Mu Huaizhang said.

Chai Fei replied "OK" and continued to work in the kitchen.

After he finished choosing the dishes and putting everything on the plate, the phone vibrated again. This time it was Chai Fei's mother. much better.

Just like what Chai Fei said to Mu Huaizhang before, she will always be my mother, how long can the gap between mother and child last?

When his mother asked him crying: "Where is the person?"

When my mother knocked on the door of Mu Huaizhang's house with a can of chicken soup, she said, "I asked auntie to cook some soup for you."

When my mother let go of her awkward compliment to Mu Huaizhang during the conversation...

Chai Fei thought, probably the word "ice breaking" could be used at that time.

He didn't want to quarrel with his mother, ten years, 20 years... Ever since he was a child, even Cheng Haifeng put before Chai Fei the speculation that their mother killed his father, and Chai Fei never said that he would turn around and question him. his mother.

In this world, people always maintain some seemingly peaceful relationships.

He thought so before, but this time when he was about to die, the seemingly peaceful relationship in front of him seemed to have changed, and turned into a mother-child relationship he hadn't expected.

This is no longer sustaining.

Instead, enjoy, enjoy the maternal love he thought was 20 years late.

"Chai Fei, are you done with the chicken soup? I'll ask my aunt to bring you some in the afternoon?"

"No need, I learned how to make chicken soup." Chai Fei pursed his lips, "Don't get up early to boil it anymore, it's cold, put more clothes on, so you don't catch a cold."

Chai Fei gave a few more words subconsciously, and then talked about chicken soup with his mother.

But when the mother and son were enjoying themselves, the doorbell rang, interrupting their conversation.

"Mom, I'll hang up first." Chai Fei said as he walked towards the door.

He subconsciously thought it was Mu Huaizhang who came back, and he opened the door happily without even watching the video of the doorbell: "Mr. Mu, my cake is here..."

His voice stopped abruptly when he saw clearly the people outside the door.

The panic in Chai Fei's eyes forced him to take half a step back, and politely said, "You...please come in."
