Ruan Qiuchi was hugged by Lin Mu, his head was arched in the socket of his neck like a kitten.

The hand hanging by her side was finally able to rest on Lin Mu's body unscrupulously, hugging her tightly, and smelling her breath deeply.

Lin Muwen said angrily, "Ah Ruan."

Ruan Qiuchi responded to her: "I am here."

Lin Mu raised his head, his eyes were blurred, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red: "Ah Ruan, were you afraid at that time?"

Were you scared when you found out she was missing?

Ruan Qiuchi's heart softened: "Scared."

Lin Mu was so drunk that she couldn't hear clearly. She just felt that her body was hugged tightly by Ruan Qiuchi, which was very comfortable. She broke the casserole and asked the question to the end, asking all the questions that she wanted to ask before.

"Then do you miss me?"

"think."

"But why aren't you excited at all?"

Ruan Qiuci lowered her eyes, she wasn't excited, her excitement gradually calmed down during those two hours, for the past 18 years, she was longing for a miracle every day, but when the miracle really came, she found that her heart was as still as water , only one thought: as long as Lin Mu is still alive.

When there was no response, Lin Mu writhed in her arms: "You are pushing too hard, it hurts me."

Ruan Qiuchi relaxed a little, his voice was so low that he couldn't hear clearly, and said in her ear, "I'm sorry, I lost you."

When Lin Mu woke up, her head was dizzy, and the room was pitch black. She groped to sit up, but her hands touched a pair of cold hands.

The black night magnified the senses infinitely, Lin Mu was startled, withdrew his hand, and stepped back vigorously.

Ruan Qiuchi said, "It's me, don't be afraid."

Lin Mu asked uncertainly, "Ah Ruan?"

Lin Mu leaned against the head of the bed as he heard the sound of fabric rubbing and footsteps. After a while, his eyes brightened.

It was Ruan Qiuchi who got up and turned on the light.

Lin Mu rubbed her eyes, she was timid, her heart was still pounding from fright, her tone was reproachful without knowing it: "You don't turn on the light in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

Ruan Qiuchi explained: "You drank too much, I am afraid that something will happen to you, so I am here to accompany you."

Lin Mu asked: "Then you sit by the bed?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "This way I can feel more at ease."

Lin Mu caressed his chest, feeling lingering fear, recalling that he drank yesterday, and asked tentatively, "Am I drunk?"

Ruan Qiuchi nodded: "Yes."

Lin Mu asked: "Did I do anything bad at that time? For example, will I go crazy after being drunk? Will I vomit?"

Her dad used to drink whenever he went out to socialize, and he vomited everywhere when he came back.

Ruan Qiuchi smiled and said, "No, you are very good."

From it, Lin Mu could hear a bit of an adult saying to a child, you are very good.

Lin Mu was completely relieved, thankful that he didn't do anything serious when he was drunk, but his head still felt a little uncomfortable.

Ruan Qiuchi got up and took a glass of water: "You have been sleeping since noon, drink a glass of water to warm your stomach first, and then get up for dinner, otherwise you will be hungry in the middle of the night."

Lin Mu took the water glass and realized that it was only night. She thought it was already the next day, but because the scene was so familiar.

Lin Mu looked around and asked uncertainly, "Is it still 2020?"

Ruan Qiuchi nodded and said: "December 2020, 12, you were fine, you didn't time travel, you just lay in bed for a long time."

Lin Mu smiled awkwardly, but Ruan Qiuchi's words still had a reassuring effect. She took a sip of water and felt her mouth was sweet.

Lin Mu asked: "My mouth is sweet."

Ruan Qiuchi: "I fed you some honey water before, to hangover."

It was awkward for the two of them to sit like this. Before Lin Mu could speak, Ruan Qiuchi said thoughtfully, "You wash up first, and I'll heat up the food."

Ruan Qiuchi left the bedroom, Lin Mu got out of bed to wash up, brushed his teeth and Weibo at the same time, the news about "parents' persistent search for their lost children for many years" was raging on the Internet.

Lin Mu was deeply touched. After so many years, she really couldn't pretend nothing had happened, plus the interview video she watched at noon and Cheng Wan's words.

During the meal, Lin Mu said, "Ah Ruan, I want to see my parents."

Ruan Qiuchi hesitated: "Is it only a while?"

Lin Mu shook his head and said, "No, although they are strict with me, it is for my own good, and I really want to see them."

Lin Mu has been treated like a machine by his parents since he was a child. She is under constant pressure. She must meet their standards. If any step is wrong, she will be punished. However, the standards of the two of them are not the same.

Later, she broke out and stayed two grades at once, and the family stopped for a while.

Then because of accidentally coming out of the closet, his father threatened to sever ties with her, but after so long, her parents should want to see her.

Lin Mu wasn't sure either, but she wanted to see them.

Now that she is back.

You can't hide all the time.

Ruan Qiuchi hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Then I will arrange a meeting time tomorrow."

Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Ruan Qiuchi's attitude had been secretive before. She thought something happened to her parents, but it seemed that nothing happened.

After confirming this matter, Lin Mu fell to the ground with his heart hanging all the time, and he felt much better. He started chatting with Ruan Qiuchi: "Let's tell Cheng Wan about my time travel, are you okay?"

Ruan Qiuchi said: "It's okay, you already have a brand new identity, Cheng Wan has been in touch with me all these years, you don't have to worry about it."

Lin Mu said: "I just think she has changed, and her husband seems unreliable."

Although Cheng Wan's personality is still the same, she is almost 40 years old and is about to have a second child. When she went to the hospital for a physical examination today, she was alone.

Lin Mu remembered that Cheng Wan used to be a very individual person, and she didn't know if her opinion was right, so she asked, "Ah Ruan, what do you think?"

Ruan Qiuci said seriously: "People will change, it's normal, she just doesn't conform to the image you expected, and you will have a gap."

"As for her husband, when getting along with friends, you must learn to seek common ground while reserving differences. I mentioned it to her, but she seems to enjoy it."

Lin Mu nodded, and after a while, asked, "Then have you changed?"

Ruan Qiuchi thought for a moment, then said softly, "It's changed, but it hasn't changed."

Lin Mu and her parents agreed to meet at a high-end hotel, although Lin Mu didn't know why they booked in a hotel.

She thought she could go straight home.

On the way to the hotel, Lin Mu was extremely nervous, asking Ruan Qiuchi questions all the way.

"Is my house demolished?"

"Yes, the old city has been transformed there."

"Ah Ruan, did my parents put a lot of pressure on you back then?"

She understands the temper of her parents, and she will never look for mistakes from herself. The mistakes are always someone else's. After she disappears, she will definitely say that Ruan Qiuchi led her astray, but the reality is that she provoked Ruan Qiuchi first.

Ruan Qiuchi didn't care and said, "That's nothing."

However, Lin Mu could already imagine that Ah Ruan was under pressure from all sides, just because of falling in love with her, and because she disappeared inexplicably.

The closer she got to the hotel, the more anxious Lin Mu felt, wondering if her father would scold her again this time.

"Ah Ruan, I'm so nervous."

"Don't be afraid, I have everything."

When she arrived at the hotel box, Lin Mu was shocked by the sight in front of her. She kept doing mental construction along the way, not knowing what her parents would look like, guessing whether they would hug each other?

But never thought it would be like this.

There were five people in the box.

Her parents are over 60 years old this year.

Lin Mu almost couldn't recognize him. The serious man had gone through many vicissitudes, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. The woman who always pursued new trends had wrinkles on her face at the moment.

When they saw her, they tentatively asked, "Mu Mu?"

Lin Mu always thought that the gap between her and Ruan Qiuchi was big enough, but she didn't expect that the gap between her and her parents would form an invisible wall, which was obviously on the opposite side, like a stranger.

Lin Mu was at a loss. She thought she would cry and laugh, but she didn't expect it to be so plain, so plain that Cheng Wan's reaction to seeing her was not as great.

Lin Mu looked at them who were strange and old, and he didn't know where the sense of alienation came from. He just stood in front of the table and shouted stupidly: "Dad, Mom."

Father Lin: "We've heard Miss Ruan say that you're back, but we still can't believe it. We've been looking for you all these years."

Mama Lin: "Mumu, it will be good if you come back."

Father Lin answered the phone while Lin Mu was watching him talking on the phone, and suddenly felt like an outsider, maybe she shouldn't have come.

"Lin Dongliang, why are you still answering the phone at this time? You can't talk to the child properly."

"I don't need you to answer my call."

Lin Mu watched them quarreling blankly, and Ruan Qiuchi touched her hand to comfort her.

After the phone call, Dad Lin informed the general: "Your mother and I have divorced."

Then Lin Mu saw...

Her dad said, "This is your aunt."

It was a middle-aged woman who appeared to be in her 40s.

Her mother said, "This is your uncle."

Is a 60-year-old man.

There is also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who should be the son of his father and stepmother.

Lin Mu: "..."

Not only did they divorce, but they also started their own families. They had their own children, and she became the most embarrassing existence among them.

How much I was looking forward to before, but now I am so disappointed. Lin Mu has always blamed himself for not going to see his parents right away, because he was afraid of seeing them, and he didn't feel how ridiculous until he saw all this.

18 years is really a long time. Lin Mu recalled what happened 18 years ago. At that time, she was only 4 years old, and she seemed to have no memory at all.

She forced a smile: "Then I congratulate you and wish you a happy family and a happy family."

Lin Mu fled, walking on the square in front of the hotel, letting the cold wind blow on his face, his ears soon lost consciousness, until he was pulled into a warm embrace.

Lin Mu hugged Ruan Qiuchi tightly.

I couldn't help crying anymore.

She has always known that her parents have high expectations for her, but she is just a tool for them to wrestle with each other, but she is still very sad at this moment.

She also knew that it was normal, that she could accept it intellectually, but emotionally felt abandoned.

"Ah Ruan, they don't want me anymore."
