sleepy tiger

Mu Xu looked at Chi Juntao, he noticed the transparent water in the eyes of Chi Juntao who was telling the story, and he didn't know what to say to comfort the other's old scars.

Chi Juntao wiped his eyes, lowered his head and bit a piece of rabbit meat to hide his sadness.Mu Xu took out a tissue to wipe his fingers, stood up and reached over the hot pot to rub Chi Juntao's head.

"I still have an exam in the afternoon." Chi Juntao said sullenly.

"I brought a comb." Mu Xu rubbed his hands, rubbing away Young Master Chi's pitiful expression, and said, "You will find love."

"You know what a fart." Hearing this, Chi Juntao slapped Mu Xu's hand away, and leaned back on the sofa even more frustrated, "I'm full."

Mu Xu said, "I'll go check out."

Looking at Mu Xu's leaving figure, Chi Juntao gritted his teeth viciously. Since he couldn't be soft, he had to think about finding a way to be tough.

Li Hongyang stood at the crossroads and turned to look at the locust tree at the school gate.Next to the Hongqi car under the tree, two men huddled together, who bit the other, the man in suits and leather shoes got into the car, and the young man in casual clothes entered the back of the car.

Mu Xu has a completely different social environment from him.

They belonged to two worlds, and Mu Xu had absolutely no intention of inviting him into the same world.

Li Hongyang blinked, then turned his head to look at the countdown red light on the other side of the road. He should also have his own life.

The red light turned to green, and Li Hongyang crossed the road to the opposite bus stop with his shoulder bag on his back.

His house is only four bus stops away from the school. He went to the vegetable market at the gate of the community to buy two tomatoes, a handful of beans and two steamed buns, and brought them home to stir-fry.Passing by the old lady who was sitting downstairs basking in the sun, Li Hongyang unpacked the ham sausages he took and fed them to the stray cats squatting in the grass and poking their heads.

A man who was nearly forty years old, when he bent down to touch the head of a stray cat, his eyes were slightly bent, and there were thin wrinkles at the end of the eyes, which looked like a cat's whiskers.

After eating and drinking, the cat rubbed against Li Hongyang's calf, and gave a soft cry to express his thanks.Li Hongyang clapped his hands and went upstairs, started cooking, and after eating, he sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, randomly selected a few channels, feeling bored, and the picture of seeing Mu Xu in the morning swayed in his mind.

He seemed to have never seen Mu Xu angry.

Or Mu Xu never gets angry.

Mu Xu is always elegant, calm, and strategizing. Even if his lover does something he can't understand, he will only flatly propose to get together and break up.

Meeting Mu Xu was a bright spot in Li Hongyang's life.When he broke up with his boyfriend and was at a loss, Mu Xu leaned on the head of the bed, looked at him who was learning to smoke with brown eyes, and asked bluntly, "Does your future only have love?"

He put out the orange-red cigarette butt in the glass jar, and Mu Xu handed him a piece of chewing gum.

For three full years, Li Hongyang shifted the center of his life from his ex-boyfriend to Mu Xu. Like a futile worker bee, he always revolves around love.

Kind of funny.

Li Hongyang twitched his mouth, took out the project plan that had been put on hold for a month from the drawer under the coffee table, and opened the first page, where Mu Xu's handwriting stayed on it, carefully writing the missing parts and precautions.

He suddenly wanted to cry.

This project is an exit, and Mu Xu pushed him forward, so he should also try to take the first step bravely to find dreams and meaning.

"The exam is about to start." Mu Xu said, "Go."

Chi Juntao pushed the door and got out of the car, held the door and asked, "Where are you going this afternoon?"

"Go home and watch a movie." Mu Xu said.

"...Oh." Chi Juntao said.

"I'll wait for you outside." Mu Xu said, "There are no good movies recently."

Chi Juntao pursed his lips and swallowed his joy forcefully. He waved his hand: "I'm leaving."

Mu Xu waved his hand and watched Chi Juntao step into the school gate.

"Mr. Mu, where are you going?" Yang Bing asked.

"Just here." Mu Xu said, "I'll sleep for a while."

"Okay." Yang Bing said.

Mu Xu adjusted the back of the seat back, lay flat and closed his eyes.

The afternoon wind blows through the leaves of the street trees, making the sound of hula la, and the occasional chirping of birds, which brings out the lazy atmosphere to the extreme.

Li Hongyang turned on his laptop and transcribed the project proposal, revised it according to Mu Xu's suggestion, used a search engine to check other people's writing style when he encountered something he didn't understand, and marked the uncertain place yellow.He planned to show Mu Xu this version of the plan when Mu Xu came over tomorrow.

He even opened a map of China, located the southern region, carefully selected the site, and called a few friends working in southern cities to learn about the situation.

Time passed very quickly in thinking and writing, "jingle bell", the bell for handing in the paper rang, Chi Juntao put down his pen, and waited for the teacher to collect the paper.

Mu Xu sat in the car peeling pomegranates to pass the time. He slowly put the pomegranate seeds into disposable paper cups. One large pomegranate filled four cups.

Chi Juntao rushed out of the school gate in a hurry, knocked on the car window, and heard the "click" unlocking sound, he opened the car door and sat in: "Mu Xu, you... what are you doing?"

"Peel the pomegranate." Mu Xu handed a cup of pomegranate seeds to Chi Juntao, "Here."

"Oh, thank you." Chi Juntao held the paper cup and asked, "What's for dinner?"

"Are you hungry?" Mu Xu asked.

"Hungry." Chi Juntao raised his head and poured the pomegranate seeds into his mouth.

"...Don't you spit out the seeds?" Mu Xu watched in surprise as Chi Juntao swallowed the pomegranate seeds whole.

"The seeds are edible, try it, it's very delicious to chew." Chi Juntao said, "My grandfather taught me."

Mu Xu squeezed a pomegranate seed into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "It feels like chewing melon seeds."

"It's fine if you don't suffer." Chi Juntao said, "Let's go eat barbecue."

"Yes." Mu Xu said, "There is a good barbecue at the entrance of our community. Every time I pass by, I see people queuing up."

"I seem to have a little impression." Chi Juntao said, "Then go there."

Yang Bing started the car, and Chi Juntao said, "The exam is finally over."

"What about the interview?" Mu Xu asked.

"The interview will be after the year, in March." Chi Juntao said, "Tomorrow Han Yang and I will go out to play."

"Come back on time." Mu Xu said.

"Got it." Chi Juntao poured pomegranate seeds into his mouth.

Four cups of pomegranate seeds and three cups entered Chi Juntao's stomach. This guy eats pomegranates as easily as he eats apples.

The next day Young Master Chi went out early in the morning to have fun with Cao Hanyang. After Mu Xuchen got up for a routine exercise, he drove downstairs to Li Hongyang.

"You're here." Li Hongyang opened the door and saw Mu Xu, and happily let Mu Xu in, and said, "I'm changing the business plan."

"Huh? How did you remember to change it?" Mu Xu bent over to change his shoes.

"I just feel," Li Hongyang touched his nose, "to do one thing well."

Mu Xu stepped on the slippers and straightened up, and praised: "You are right."

Li Hongyang was in high spirits visible to the naked eye. He led Mu Xu to sit down beside the sofa, and stuffed the laptop into Mu Xu's arms: "Look, I changed it for a day."

Mu Xu supported his chin with one hand, and browsed line by line. He said, "I will mark the comments in red directly."

"Okay." Li Hongyang looked at Mu Xu expectantly, like a student waiting for the teacher to correct his homework.

"These are all theoretical aspects." Mu Xu said, "You need a designer to help you look at the facade design and come up with a design draft."

"I have a designer friend. I will ask him in a few days." Li Hongyang said.

"On-site inspection is still needed." Mu Xu said, "However, you haven't decided where to open a store, and you will go to investigate after you confirm the city. I have marked out other questions, you can take a look." He returned the computer to Li Hongyang, "Shall we go to the exhibition later?"

"Okay." Li Hongyang put the computer on the coffee table, "I'm going to change clothes."

Mu Xu sat on the sofa and waited for Li Hongyang. He took out his mobile phone, scanned a few pages of news, and suddenly felt bored.Chi Juntao was so noisy that he finally got some free time, and Mu Xu felt that there was something missing around him.

Li Hongyang changed into the clothes he was going out, put on his coat, and greeted Mu Xu: "Let's go."

"Your new sweater?" Mu Xu said, "It looks familiar."

"It's not new." Li Hongyang said, "I haven't worn it for a long time. When I first met you, I wore this one."

"No wonder it looks familiar." Mu Xu said, "I'm a little worried about you opening a restaurant with such a temper."

"What are you worried about?" Li Hongyang asked.

"You are too gentle, you need to find a city with good law and order." Mu Xu said, "You were not angry when I said that to you."

"You're right, why am I so angry?" Li Hongyang said, "I try to choose the address next to the police station."

"That's okay." Mu Xu said.
