Lin Mu couldn't argue with anything, but luckily the other party was Ruan Qiuchi, not an outsider. She emphasized weakly: "I was just making an analogy."
Ruan Qiuchi nodded: "I understand what you mean."
No, you don't understand at all, Lin Mu was afraid that the description would get darker, so he just shut up and stopped talking, but he saw that the corners of Ruan Qiuchi's lips seemed to rise quietly.
Ruan Qiuchi clearly did it on purpose.
The meeting with Cheng Wan was in a private room in a restaurant. It's just entered September, and the weather is still hot. Cheng Wan is wearing a cool mint green summer dress with light makeup on her face. Just from her appearance, she can't tell that she just gave birth soon.
Lin Mu and Ruan Qiuchi were both tightly wrapped, with silk scarves around their necks.
Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them: "Aren't you two hot? Today's temperature is 29 degrees."
Lin Mu didn't know how Cheng Wan was thinking about the problem, but now she finally saw a shadow of the former ease in her body, and was sincerely happy for her.
Lin Mu tightened his thin coat guiltily: "It's not hot, I'm still a little cold."
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes to look at Ruan Qiuchi. Ruan Qiuchi's expression was calm, and there was no panic about the absurd "evidence" hidden under her clothes last night. Instead, she smiled at her reassuringly.
Yesterday was Lin Mu's birthday, and she gave that kind of gift again, Cheng Wan knew what happened without using her brain, she urged with a smile, "Sit down, it looks hot to me, what do you want to eat?"
Ruan Qiuchi sat down next to Lin Mu.
Ruan Qiuchi: "You can order, whatever you want."
Cheng Wan called the waiter to take an order. After she ordered a few dishes, she handed the order machine to Ruan Qiuchi. Knowing that this meal was not just a meal, Ruan Qiuchi just ordered a cold dish and a boiled fish with sour bamboo shoots as symbols. .
Cheng Wan confirmed: "You don't want more? Eat enough, otherwise I will call you out and starve you. I will feel guilty."
Now that Lin Mu heard the words "satisfied" and "hungry", he reflexively thought of the nonsense he said in the morning, and just smiled embarrassingly.
Seeing the strange expression on her face, Cheng Wan joked, "What's the matter, did Qiu Chi starve you yesterday?"
"No." Lin Mu hurriedly waved his hands,
And turned to look at Ruan Qiuchi.
Ruan Qiuchi had a slight smile on her face, apparently also thinking about what happened in the morning. Instead of exchanging too many pleasantries with Cheng Wan, she said straightforwardly: "How are things going? What are you going to do?"
The feigned ease on Cheng Wan's face faded away, and her complexion became condensed. After the waiter left, she smiled wryly and said, "I've thought about it these days and made a serious comparison. Suddenly, I don't know what marriage has brought me."
Neither Ruan Qiuchi nor Lin Mu spoke. They were never married but both had parents, but they still waited quietly for Cheng Wan to continue.
Holding the glass of wine, Cheng Wan felt a little disappointed: "Perhaps I was happy and satisfied at the beginning. Like most couples who are passionately in love, I finally entered the palace of marriage with the person I like and have a real small family. We were confident about the future then."
"But now I can only support my illusory responsibilities. The most ridiculous thing is that I don't know what my responsibilities are. Maintain family harmony? Raise my daughter? Then see her enter the palace of marriage again? Or do I work hard for their family? Have a son? I seem to have lost myself."
"In short, I don't have him in my marital responsibilities. The person I used to think was right. Now we just live together, and even our sex life is just for reproduction."
Cheng Wan mentioned sex life so frankly, Lin Mu must have taken it lightly before, but now it is easy to think of last night.
She pursed her lips indiscriminately.
Cheng Wan said: "I know whether I get married or not, I will regret it. Now I just want to stop the loss in time when I find regrets, and try to regret it only for a while, not for a lifetime."
Lin Mu asked in surprise, "You want a divorce?"
Cheng Wan said, "Yes."
Ruan Qiuchi frowned deeply: "Have you thought it through? Have you considered the ownership of the child and the distribution of property? Are you sure it's not a momentary impulse?"
When Lin Mu first met Cheng Wan last year, he always felt that her eyes were cloudy and dull, but now Cheng Wan's eyes are firmer than ever before.
Cheng Wan even made a joke: "I never took it so seriously when I was doing the questions in the college entrance examination."
Ruan Qiuchi nodded: "Just think about it."
Cheng Wan drank a book of water: "Actually, I know that it is not wise for me to choose divorce now, but I really don't want to be reduced to a reproductive machine again. I have to risk the life of an advanced mother to have a second child when I am 40 years old. I don't want to face another child." A commanding command over another strange woman."
Lin Mu was a little at a loss. Her first thought before was to hope that Cheng Wan would get a divorce, but it was too idealistic at that time, and now she is a little hesitant.
She didn't know whether to agree or disagree.
After all, Cheng Wan's youngest daughter was just born, and Cheng Wan had been a housewife before, with no other sources of income. Marriage is the union of two families, and divorce is the separation of two families. Neither is a simple matter.
Cheng Wan saw Lin Mu's hesitation: "To put it bluntly, I asked you out this time to inform you about this matter. Of course, I may not have considered it carefully, so I want to hear your suggestions and opinions. .”
Lin Mu didn't speak for a while, she was trying to put herself in Cheng Wan's shoes, but found that she couldn't do it at all. If it was her, she would of course choose to divorce without hesitation.
But everyone's situation is different.
Cheng Wan smiled and said: "Mu Mu, you are hesitating. I know you are all for my own good. If you all agree and encourage me to divorce, I will not discuss it with you two."
After all, Lin Mu is young and has little experience, and has never experienced such a major decision. If it is just a personal choice, it doesn't matter, but it is a family-led one, and it will affect the whole body.
She said: "I hope you will seriously consider all the situations and risks before making a decision. After all, this is not a trivial matter."
Cheng Wan nodded solemnly: "Qiu Chi, what about you?"
Ruan Qiuchi said: "Since you have made a decision and thought it over, I will do my best to help. I know a divorce lawyer, and I can introduce you to you later."
Cheng Wan took a long breath of relief: "You two words are enough."
She is afraid to tell anyone else about this decision at the moment, because no one will support her.
After talking about the business, the dishes started to be served. Cheng Wan seemed to have relieved the burden on her shoulders. She had a goal and a light in her eyes. It seemed that she had been thinking about this matter for more than two months.
Lin Mu asked, "Have you talked to him?"
Cheng Wan sneered and said: "In order to continue the precious incense of their family, he should agree. There is no love between us for a long time, but there may be differences and problems in the division of property and competition for child custody."
Since Cheng Wan had a good idea in his heart, Lin Mu didn't mention it anymore, but just talked about some light topics. Cheng Wan probably felt unworthy of the choice back then, and kept drinking.
Cheng Wan said with emotion: "Double Eleven will be here soon."
Ruan Qiuchi's eyes darkened, and his movements of picking up vegetables froze slightly.
Cheng Wan drank too much and was a little confused. She obviously forgot that this day was not only Double Eleven, but also the day when Lin Mu disappeared, and said, "But Double Eleven doesn't have any discounts, it's all a lie."
Lin Mu reminded her: "It's only September, and it's still early for November."
Cheng Wan: "Yes, you are right."
Lin Mu stretched out his left hand silently, and put it lightly on Ruan Qiuchi's thigh, feeling a little scared in his heart, like the second day after he just came back, he was afraid that he would travel to a more distant future when he woke up.
Ruan Qiuchi held her back: "Don't be afraid."
Cheng Wan stood up suddenly: "Mumu, I still envy the deep relationship between you two. Sometimes I think, if he and I, no matter who, disappeared suddenly, the relationship would have ended long ago. Now There is no need to worry about whether to divorce or not."
"I'm not saying that it's better for you to separate. During the time when you disappeared, Qiuchi looked for you everywhere, and there were various problems with your body. Do you know that?"
Seeing that Ruan Qiuchi wanted to stop Cheng Wan, Lin Mu took the first step and said, "I know."
Ruan Qiuchi looked at the two of them nervously.
"It's good that you know. Qiu Chi is still the same as when he was in school. He is like a boring gourd. He doesn't want to tell anyone about anything. I only found out after asking for a long time. Mu Mu, you must let her change her bad temper." Cheng Said late.
Cheng Wan was still the same as before, talking non-stop when he was drunk.
This is the second time Lin Mu has heard her envying herself, and she also feels that she is very happy and has all of Ruan Qiuchi's feelings.
Cheng Wan was not very drunk, but she talked too much. Lin Mu and Ruan Qiuchi called a taxi for her, sent her to the car, and told the driver to take her home before leaving the restaurant.
"Ah Ruan, Cheng Wan asked you to change your boring temper. You must tell me everything in the future. Don't be like before, and you don't tell me when you have a bad heart." Lin Mu was just joking at first, but later he was still worried.
She felt that Ruan Qiuchi was really not good at this point, he hid everything too deeply, and she only found out that Ruan Qiuchi liked her a long time ago.
Ruan Qiuchi's eyes were a little erratic: "Yes."
Only then was Lin Mu satisfied, and then he thought about what we were talking about today: "This is the first time we participated in this general decision. We support Cheng Wan, and we don't know if we did it right? The last time it was like this..."
Still decided whether to study abroad or not, but it caused them to quarrel, and then separated for 18 years inexplicably, Lin Mu stopped in time.
Ruan Qiuchi said: "There is never a mandatory right or wrong decision, but every decision you make will have different consequences."
Of course Lin Mu understood this truth. She was wondering if they had never been separated, would they be like Cheng Wan and her husband?
From the loving couple at the beginning, to the current dislike of seeing each other, no, definitely not.
Ruan Qiuchi noticed Lin Mu's thoughts and thought she was still thinking about what Cheng Wan said, so he took Lin Mu's hand harder and said, "Don't think too much."
Lin Mu nodded heavily: "Yes."
A gust of cool wind blew by, and Lin Mu only felt refreshed. Maybe Cheng Wan's decision to divorce would be a better start.
"I've been a little slack lately, and it seems that I can't even draw the lines steadily." Lin Mu was inexplicably impatient, feeling that she had reached the legendary bottleneck period, but she was obviously just a novice.
Ruan Qiuchi said from the side: "Don't worry, as long as you can practice one or two cards a day and keep your hand feeling, you don't need to take the school exam."
Lin Mu was a little distressed: "I haven't made any progress recently, and I always feel like I'm practicing repeatedly."
"You are improving every painting, but you are a fan of the authorities. Last time you went to the art exhibition, you wanted to imitate other people's painting styles. In fact, everyone's painting styles are different. You don't have to imitate others."
With tickets given by Han Yushu, Lin Mu and Ruan Qiuchi went to the art exhibition and saw a painting style they liked very much. After returning, Lin Mu wanted to learn the other's style, and now he is a little impatient.
Ruan Qiuchi patiently helped Lin Mu point out all the advantages. Lin Mu was encouraged and cheered up again to get through the first bottleneck.
Yangqing called to say that the title page signed by him had been sent, and asked Ruan Qiuchi to check it carefully. Lin Mu had already experienced this matter, and excitedly reminded Ruan Qiuchi: "Ah Ruan, remember to stamp it."
Ruan Qiuchi responded with a smile: "You build it."
After Ruan Qiuchi finished signing, Lin Mu carefully stamped his name, as if it was a work of art completed by them together.
The photo of the physical book signed on Weibo, sharp-eyed fans found that there was an extra seal than before.
——"After so many years, Teacher Ruan has finally come up with a new trick, hahaha (dog head)"
——"There is an extra chapter under the signature."
——"Why is there an extra chapter this year? Boldly guess, will it have something to do with my sister-in-law?"
——"Can the drug-addicted chicken take it easy? Everything can be involved in knocking c."
——"I just knock and knock."
——"They're a couple, and they're not hype. I want to knock c too."
——"Maybe it's really a fake couple. I ate the melon next door. Your teacher Ruan might be mentally ill, hahaha."
——"You must be sick!"
Lin Mu looked at these remarks that were both true and false, and his good mood was destroyed, and he was angry for a while, but he knew that this is the trend on the Internet, so there is no need to really care about each other.
Ruan Qiuchi was already immune to these comments. After a moment of silence, he said in a relaxed tone: "Maybe I really have a mental problem."
Seeing that she was still joking at this time, Lin Mu felt distressed and angry, and said, "Nonsense, you are obviously fine, there is no problem at all."
Ruan Qiuchi lowered his eyes: "Yes, I'm fine."
Hers is not a mental problem, and it is not the same type of disease as mental illness.
"However, I did have mental problems, and even had auditory hallucinations for a while."
Lin Mu's heart seemed to be hoisted high, and tremblingly said: "Is it cured now?"
Ruan Qiuchi nodded: "It's cured, except for insomnia, everything else is fine, and after you come back, the insomnia has also been greatly relieved."
Lin Muxu was startled: "You scared me."
Ruan Qiuchi lowered his eyebrows: "I'm sorry."
Ruan Qiuchi devoted himself to writing again.
Lin Mu continued to practice painting. Recently, she has been intensively practicing grasping shapes, and sometimes sketches against Ruan Qiuchi. Every gesture and look in Lin Mu's eyes feels extraordinarily fresh.
On the other hand, Cheng Wan wanted to divorce, but encountered great obstacles. Many people disapproved of her, firstly her parents, and secondly her mother-in-law.
"My son's business is getting better and better. You are now divorced, which is not good for you or your child. A man can find a partner easily at any time, but it is not easy for you to drag your children. You have to think about it. There is no one like me in the world." The son is such an honest husband who can take care of the family and make money."
Cheng Wan's mother-in-law became anxious when she learned that Cheng Wan was going to divorce and planned to take the child away.
Ruan Qiuchi also went to ask Cheng Wan about finances. Cheng Wan said that she still had some savings, and her husband had a good business recently. It was their joint property, and she had already convinced her parents that they would help her with the children, so she could support herself.
As for child custody, her eldest daughter voluntarily asked to follow her husband, and the younger daughter was still young, so she would follow her mother even if it was a lawsuit.
Until the National Day holiday, this matter has not been settled for the time being. Lin Mu walked back while returning the message sent late on the journey. She tiptoed to give Ruan Qiuchi a surprise.
Entering the password lightly, the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were not opened, and the living room was a little dark. Lin Mu walked over and opened the curtains, and the lucky bamboo on the balcony had already withered.
Like a thief, she walked to the door of the study room. The door was not closed tightly. She pushed it open gently. When she looked through the crack of the door, Ruan Qiuchi was looking down at a book.
During the National Day holiday, Han Yushu had other arrangements. It is said that her parents forced her to go on a blind date. Lin Mu was already on vacation, but Ruan Qiuchi didn't know the news yet. Lin Mu wanted to surprise her.
"Ah Ruan, what book are you reading?" Lin Mu walked behind Ruan Qiuchi, put his hand lightly on her shoulder, and leaned over to glance casually.
The book is still handwritten.
Ruan Qiuchi seems to like handwriting very much. Since Lin Mu used a smart phone, he seldom uses a pen except for drawing.
Ruan Qiuchi didn't expect Lin Mu to come back suddenly. With a slight shake of his shoulders, he immediately closed the book, and said in a flustered tone, "Some information."
Ruan Qiuchi had never been so flustered before, Lin Mu said guiltily, "Did I scare you just now?"
Ruan Qiuchi pressed the book to the bottom, turned around, and did not deny it: "There is a little bit."
Lin Mu walked around to Ruan Qiuchi's side, took her hand, and comforted her: "I'm sorry, I thought you would be very surprised. In the past, the old people said that you can't pat the shoulders, and they would pat three fires away. I should kiss from behind. Get yours."
Knowing that she didn't see the content, Ruan Qiuchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's all feudal superstition, why did you come back early?"
Lin Mu covered his sore and swollen belly: "I came back with a stomachache, and Mr. Han is going on a blind date, and the studio will not be open during the National Day holiday."
It was only then that Ruan Qiuchi realized that Lin Mu's complexion was not very good, and she was a little pale. She withdrew her hand and gently stroked Lin Mu's forehead. It was warm and did not have a fever: "Did you eat something bad?"
Lin Mu rubbed her hand and said aggrievedly: "No, it's a monthly visit from relatives."
Ruan Qiuchi's frowning brows were relaxed, and he stretched out his hand to rub Lin Mu's belly, and opened the notepad with the other hand, which recorded Lin Mu's menstrual period in detail, which day it started and which day it ended, which seemed to be more important than Lin Mu's. Mu still needs to be clear.
"It's indeed your menstrual period recently. I forgot to remind you. You ate shaved ice yesterday."
Lin Mu tilted his head and glanced, his face was a little hot: "Ah Ruan, why do you memorize everything? I don't memorize these things myself."
Ruan Qiuchi closed the notebook: "I'm used to it."
The feeling of being always remembered and cared about is too sweet. Even the trivial things, as long as they are about her, will be treated by Ruan Qiuchi. Throwing into Ruan Qiuchi's arms, she leaned close to hold Ruan Qiuchi's lips, and gave a light kiss.
The two sat and stood, Ruan Qiuchi raised his head to enjoy Lin Mu's light kiss, and finally the light kiss became heavier.
Lin Mu's eyes were full of water, and Ruan Qiuchi was no exception, with waves hidden in his eyes, and his lips seemed to be full of dewy cherries.
Lin Mu leaned in her arms: "These information books are so thick, is it complicated to write this time?"
Lin Mu currently only knows that the new book is a criminal investigation subject, and the specific content is not clear, but there are too many reference materials. Every time she comes back, Ruan Qiuchi's desk will be full of thick books.
Ruan Qiuchi hugged Lin Mu and rubbed her belly lightly: "This time there is some trouble."
Lin Mu was a little worried: "Ah Ruan, how much have you written in total? Do you want to take a break?"
"15 chapters, but when I write the next chapter, I need to read through the previous content, otherwise I may forget the previous details, causing the subsequent plot and character settings to contradict themselves."
Lin Mu followed with a frown: "Wouldn't it be more and more difficult to write until the end? It would be great if I could finish all the writing in one day."
Ruan Qiuchi said: "This is a common occurrence."
Never had this problem before.
Lin Mu Ning thought for a while, and suggested: "I'll read the previous content first, and then you write a chapter, and I will read a chapter, and I will help you check for plot loopholes and bugs, so that you don't have to keep reading the previous chapters backwards. content."
Lin Mu's thought was simple, Ruan Qiuchi couldn't bear her kindness, nodded and smiled, "Good idea."
Lin Mu suddenly smiled.
Ruan Qiuchi placed his fingers on Lin Mu's stomach one after another, suddenly hesitating.
Lin Mu turned around, brushed aside the hair that covered Ruan Qiuchi's face, in a daze, saw a few more obvious fine lines in the corners of her eyes, was startled, and immediately pretended not to see it, and leaned against her cheek: "You Is there something you want to tell me?"
Ruan Qiuchi responded in a low voice.
Lin Mu thought it was funny, stepped back a little, stretched out his hand to pinch Ruan Qiuchi's face, and said, "Tell me, don't be a boring gourd as we agreed before."
Ruan Qiuchi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Mu: "I may have to go on a long trip tomorrow."
Lin Mu's face turned cold: "Where are you going?"
She wanted to say that she could go together, but Ruan Qiuchi obviously meant that she would go alone.
Ruan Qiuchi said softly: "Go to the prison in city b. My book is more sophisticated. I have encountered some problems at the moment. I need to do a field trip. You wait for me at home, and I will be back soon."
Knowing that he would not be able to help if he followed, Lin Mu did not fight, and lowered his head and said, "Okay."
Ruan Qiuchi said, "I'll be back in three days at most."
Lin Mu lay in her arms sullenly, responded with a low level, and took a sharp breath: "Ah Ruan, have you washed your clothes? There seems to be a smell of laundry detergent on the collar."
Ruan Qiuchi was stunned, and he was not sure: "It should not be there, even if there was, I would not get laundry detergent on my collar."
"I'll go over and have a look." Lin Mu got up to look. There was obviously laundry in the washing machine, and it had already been dehydrated, so she took the clothes out to dry: "Ah Ruan, your memory is not very good, you must be writing every day recently. too much."
Ruan Qiuchi's hand hanging by his side slightly curled up.
To prevent Lin Mu from being alone, after Ruan Qiuchi left, he asked Song Nian to stay with her at home.
Song Nian: "My mother is also on a long trip, and we happen to be playing black games together at home."
Lin Mu: "Did she go with Ah Ruan?"
"That's right. My mother said that Auntie Qiuchi has writing problems and needs to go to the prison. I have never been there. They used to travel a lot, saying they were looking for inspiration."
Song Nian held his chin: "They often don't take me with them when they travel, I thought..."
At that time, she thought that her mother was having an affair with Aunt Qiuchi, and that she went on a trip in order to sneak through the world of two people. She was afraid that she would be sad if she found out, so she avoided her everywhere.
Afraid that Lin Mu would think too much, Song Nian did not continue.
Lin Mu thought that Ruan Qiuchi said last time that when she said she was looking for inspiration, she was actually looking for her. Could there be other things to do this time?
Song Nian: "Lin Mu, what are you thinking?"
Lin Mu: "I want to make a call."
"Let's fight, let's fight. I didn't expect you to be so clingy, so we separated for a long time." Song Nian smiled as her aunt. There are too many things she didn't expect, and now she still has the illusion that she is still a melon eater.
Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, she was indeed too clingy, but clingy is clingy.
After Lin Mu hesitated for a second, she called Ruan Qiuchi. Hearing the beeps coming from the phone, she was inexplicably nervous.
Song Nian mouth-shaped on the side: "You can't be checking Aunt Qiuchi's post, are you?"
Just as Lin Mu was about to say no, Ruan Qiuchi had connected to the phone, and said softly, "Lin Mu?"
Before Lin Mu made the call, he didn't have a good idea to say, so he said hesitantly, "Ah...Ah Ruan."
"What's the matter, are you not feeling well?"
"No... I just miss you." Lin Mu thumped his head. Looking for her and finding inspiration can be carried out at the same time. She doesn't have to worry about these at all. What she should worry about is her heart problem.
Ruan Qiuchi said softly, "I miss you too."
The corners of Lin Mu's mouth almost reached his ears, but Song Nian was staring at him, so he could only ask in a polite manner, "Well, have you eaten yet?"
Ruan Qiuchi: "I've already eaten, how about you?"
Lin Mu lay on the sofa: "After eating, let's play a video? I want to see you."
Ruan Qiuchi suddenly fell silent, and after a while he said, "It's not convenient for me now, and we don't allow taking photos or recording videos here."
It should be normal that photos and videos are not allowed in the prison, Lin Mu didn't think much about it: "Okay."
Ruan Qiuchi: "Do you still have dysmenorrhea? There are also painkillers and baby warmers in the cupboard. You can stick one and try it. You will feel much more comfortable when you sleep at night."
Lin Mu repeatedly replied: "No, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu still had a smile on her face. Seeing that Song Nian was also smiling, she had the illusion that she was a child who couldn't live without her parents.
in the hospital.
Song Yao: "Aren't you going to tell her?"
Ruan Qiuchi was silent for a moment: "I want to maintain my good image for a while longer."
Song Yao said helplessly: "Actually, no matter what you are, she will think it is beautiful or even perfect."
Ruan Qiuchi closed his eyes and did not speak.
Even though Song Nian was playing games with her at home, Sister Sun often came to cook and clean up. The house seemed very lively, but Lin Mu was still very unaccustomed to it. She and Ruan Qiuchi stayed together almost all the time and hadn't been separated yet.
This kind of unaccustomedness was deeply imprinted in his mind, and Lin Mu remembered that when they were in school, they rarely separated.
Once again, she couldn't imagine how Ruan Qiuchi guarded a bed alone after she disappeared.
Lin Mu woke up in the morning with two dark circles under his eyes.
Song Nian was stunned: "Did you not sleep well?"
Lin Mu shook his head: "I'm fine."
Song Nian knew that the two of them had a sudden "long-distance relationship", and he was definitely not used to it, so he suggested, "I asked out a friend, do you want to hang out together?"
Lin Mu: "No, I'm drawing at home."
Song Nian: "Okay, don't worry, Aunt Qiuchi will be back in two days."
Lin Mu: "Yes."
Lin Mu's daily life at home is still to lay a solid foundation. She was painting, and Han Yushu sent her a WeChat message, saying that he would take her to see her teacher.
Thinking about going to see the teacher's teacher soon, Lin Mu panicked for a while.
Lin Mu followed Han Yushu to meet the teacher. He was an old man with gray hair but clear eyes. This was also the first time Lin Mu had seen what it means to paint casually.
There are no rules, no need to draw a draft, almost every stroke is a painting, and the onlookers don't know what they want to paint at the beginning of each stroke.
Lin Mu shared this incident with Ruan Qiuchi.
Ruan Qiuchi was sincerely happy for her: "That old professor is very famous in the painting world. He used to paint with ink dots, and he has a great control over light and shadow."
As soon as Lin Mu heard it, he knew that Ruan Qiuchi must have arranged this time again. He was afraid that she would be bored at home, so he asked Han Yushu to take her out to gain knowledge.
Lin Mu said, "Ah Ruan, I miss you."
Ruan Qiuchi: "I'll be back soon."
Lin Mu excitedly said, "Tomorrow?"
Ruan Qiuchi hesitated: "Probably the day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow was also very fast. Lin Mu and Ruan Qiuchi talked about some daily life again. After she finished hanging up Ruan Qiuchi's call, she received a video call from Qiu Chan: "Mu Mu, I'm here to play with you."
Lin Mu: "Aren't you studying in another place?"
Qiu Chan: "I'm going home for the National Day, I'm at home now, do you want to come and play together tomorrow?"
Lin Mu thought it would be boring to stay at home, and it was rare for Qiu Chan to come back, and she would go abroad in the future, so she agreed without much consideration.
She just never expected that Qiu Chan said to go out to play together, to take her to the comic exhibition. Lin Mu was called up early the next day. Qiu Chan took her to make up first, and then changed her clothes and put on a wig. Mu can only be done by her.
Lin Mu: "I don't even know this character."
Qiu Chan: "Don't worry, I haven't watched this episode yet, but your figure and face are very suitable for this character, try wearing a wig."
Lin Mu had no choice but to cover his face and run away when he saw his newly dressed self in the mirror.
Qiu Chan: "Hold your head up, I'll take a picture of you, do you think Teacher Ruan can recognize you?"
Whether she can recognize it, she can't let Ruan Qiuchi know that it's her, she's too childish.
Lin Mu refused: "Just take a picture and send it to me."
In the morning, I accompanied Qiu Chan to the comic exhibition, took photos everywhere, bought merchandise, and waited in line for autographs. When I came out, Lin Mu was exhausted and went directly to a western restaurant near the comic exhibition center.
Lin Mu just sat down and saw a familiar figure, and she never looked away.
Seeing that Lin Mu didn't pick the photos, Qiu Chan asked strangely, "Why do you keep staring there?"
She craned her neck to look.
"Teacher Ruan?" Qiu Chan asked in surprise, "Shall we go over and say hello? Mu Mu, you don't need to take pictures anymore, she will definitely not recognize her."
Lin Mu frowned and didn't speak. Ruan Qiuchi was chatting and laughing happily with a well-dressed woman. He looked very intimate. Didn't it mean that he was coming back?Lin Mu's eyes darkened.
Qiu Chan obviously also saw that woman, and after observing Lin Mu's expression, she didn't dare to say anything.
But she has always been quick-spoken, wondering: "What's the situation? Could it be cheating?"
Lin Mu said firmly: "Of course not."
But Ah Ruan must have something to hide from her.
After Lin Mu and Qiu Chan greeted each other, they walked over wearing colorful clothes, sat behind Ruan Qiuchi, put their ears on their ears, and tried to listen to their conversation.
The capable woman in a suit hesitated and said, "Are you really going to do this?"
Lin Mu was wondering what Ruan Qiuchi was going to do, and heard Ruan Qiuchi say: "Well, we just need to add some more to the previous version."
The woman in the suit: "Ah Ruan, think about it carefully. She is still young and has many possibilities in the future. It is too risky for you to do so."
This woman is called Aruan Aruan?And he seemed to know her, Lin Mu was so surprised that the water glass was poured, and the waiter quickly came over and asked, "Ma'am, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Mu was afraid that his words would be discovered, so he just shook his head, and then returned to his position calmly.
Qiu Chan asked, "What did you hear?"
Lin Mu nonsense: "It's about work."
"That's good, you should go straight over and reveal your identity, and give Teacher Ruan a surprise."
Lin Mu: "This dress is too ugly."
Qiu Chan: "..."
After separating from Qiu Chan, Lin Mu returned home restlessly, still thinking about what Ruan Qiuchi was talking about with that woman, she finally called Ruan Qiuchi: "Ah Ruan, are you back?"
Ruan Qiuchi: "Well, I'll be there in the evening."
Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Ruan Qiuchi didn't hide it from her when he came back. She said, "Then I'll pick you up."
Ruan Qiuchi said warmly: "It's too late, you go to sleep, I'll just take a taxi and come here by myself."
Lin Mu didn't say anything.
Ruan Qiuchi was puzzled: "Lin Mu?"
Lin Mu said sullenly: "Then you pay attention to safety."
"Okay." Ruan Qiuchi felt that Lin Mu's attitude was a bit strange, but he planned to ask her again when he went back.
After taking a taxi to the community, Ruan Qiuchi walked to the door, checked his clothes, entered the password, and just stepped into the entrance without having time to change his shoes.
There were extra hands around the waist, and then the body was hugged tightly, Ruan Qiuchi was slightly stunned, and when he smelled the familiar breath, he slowly relaxed his body and hugged her.
Ruan Qiuchi asked softly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Mu didn't give Ruan Qiuchi a chance to speak, she gently covered her lips, and when both of them were out of breath, she said without warning, "Ah Ruan, you must be hiding something from me."
Ruan Qiuchi shook his eyes, and subconsciously denied, "No."
Lin Mu was full of disbelief, and said in a deep voice: "I saw you with a woman in a suit before, and she looks about your age."
Ruan Qiuchi's expression froze slightly, and he explained: "She is my cousin, I mentioned to you before, my aunt's daughter, she is a lawyer."
lawyer?Lin Mu recalled what he heard before: "Then what are you talking about?"
Ruan Qiuchi seemed to have realized: "Is that you with the blue wig in the western restaurant?"
"Yes, it's me, don't change the subject." Lin Mu's attitude was unprecedentedly tough, as if Ruan Qiuchi would not give up until he answered.
Ruan Qiuchi and her looked at each other quietly, Lin Mu's face was serious, Ruan Qiuchi seemed to see the Lin Mu from before, the Lin Mu who would force himself to use her pocket money.
Her lips trembled, and she said in a low voice, "I'll ask her to make a new will."
A string broke in Lin Mu's mind, and his body froze in place.
Ruan Qiuchi nodded: "I understand what you mean."
No, you don't understand at all, Lin Mu was afraid that the description would get darker, so he just shut up and stopped talking, but he saw that the corners of Ruan Qiuchi's lips seemed to rise quietly.
Ruan Qiuchi clearly did it on purpose.
The meeting with Cheng Wan was in a private room in a restaurant. It's just entered September, and the weather is still hot. Cheng Wan is wearing a cool mint green summer dress with light makeup on her face. Just from her appearance, she can't tell that she just gave birth soon.
Lin Mu and Ruan Qiuchi were both tightly wrapped, with silk scarves around their necks.
Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them: "Aren't you two hot? Today's temperature is 29 degrees."
Lin Mu didn't know how Cheng Wan was thinking about the problem, but now she finally saw a shadow of the former ease in her body, and was sincerely happy for her.
Lin Mu tightened his thin coat guiltily: "It's not hot, I'm still a little cold."
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes to look at Ruan Qiuchi. Ruan Qiuchi's expression was calm, and there was no panic about the absurd "evidence" hidden under her clothes last night. Instead, she smiled at her reassuringly.
Yesterday was Lin Mu's birthday, and she gave that kind of gift again, Cheng Wan knew what happened without using her brain, she urged with a smile, "Sit down, it looks hot to me, what do you want to eat?"
Ruan Qiuchi sat down next to Lin Mu.
Ruan Qiuchi: "You can order, whatever you want."
Cheng Wan called the waiter to take an order. After she ordered a few dishes, she handed the order machine to Ruan Qiuchi. Knowing that this meal was not just a meal, Ruan Qiuchi just ordered a cold dish and a boiled fish with sour bamboo shoots as symbols. .
Cheng Wan confirmed: "You don't want more? Eat enough, otherwise I will call you out and starve you. I will feel guilty."
Now that Lin Mu heard the words "satisfied" and "hungry", he reflexively thought of the nonsense he said in the morning, and just smiled embarrassingly.
Seeing the strange expression on her face, Cheng Wan joked, "What's the matter, did Qiu Chi starve you yesterday?"
"No." Lin Mu hurriedly waved his hands,
And turned to look at Ruan Qiuchi.
Ruan Qiuchi had a slight smile on her face, apparently also thinking about what happened in the morning. Instead of exchanging too many pleasantries with Cheng Wan, she said straightforwardly: "How are things going? What are you going to do?"
The feigned ease on Cheng Wan's face faded away, and her complexion became condensed. After the waiter left, she smiled wryly and said, "I've thought about it these days and made a serious comparison. Suddenly, I don't know what marriage has brought me."
Neither Ruan Qiuchi nor Lin Mu spoke. They were never married but both had parents, but they still waited quietly for Cheng Wan to continue.
Holding the glass of wine, Cheng Wan felt a little disappointed: "Perhaps I was happy and satisfied at the beginning. Like most couples who are passionately in love, I finally entered the palace of marriage with the person I like and have a real small family. We were confident about the future then."
"But now I can only support my illusory responsibilities. The most ridiculous thing is that I don't know what my responsibilities are. Maintain family harmony? Raise my daughter? Then see her enter the palace of marriage again? Or do I work hard for their family? Have a son? I seem to have lost myself."
"In short, I don't have him in my marital responsibilities. The person I used to think was right. Now we just live together, and even our sex life is just for reproduction."
Cheng Wan mentioned sex life so frankly, Lin Mu must have taken it lightly before, but now it is easy to think of last night.
She pursed her lips indiscriminately.
Cheng Wan said: "I know whether I get married or not, I will regret it. Now I just want to stop the loss in time when I find regrets, and try to regret it only for a while, not for a lifetime."
Lin Mu asked in surprise, "You want a divorce?"
Cheng Wan said, "Yes."
Ruan Qiuchi frowned deeply: "Have you thought it through? Have you considered the ownership of the child and the distribution of property? Are you sure it's not a momentary impulse?"
When Lin Mu first met Cheng Wan last year, he always felt that her eyes were cloudy and dull, but now Cheng Wan's eyes are firmer than ever before.
Cheng Wan even made a joke: "I never took it so seriously when I was doing the questions in the college entrance examination."
Ruan Qiuchi nodded: "Just think about it."
Cheng Wan drank a book of water: "Actually, I know that it is not wise for me to choose divorce now, but I really don't want to be reduced to a reproductive machine again. I have to risk the life of an advanced mother to have a second child when I am 40 years old. I don't want to face another child." A commanding command over another strange woman."
Lin Mu was a little at a loss. Her first thought before was to hope that Cheng Wan would get a divorce, but it was too idealistic at that time, and now she is a little hesitant.
She didn't know whether to agree or disagree.
After all, Cheng Wan's youngest daughter was just born, and Cheng Wan had been a housewife before, with no other sources of income. Marriage is the union of two families, and divorce is the separation of two families. Neither is a simple matter.
Cheng Wan saw Lin Mu's hesitation: "To put it bluntly, I asked you out this time to inform you about this matter. Of course, I may not have considered it carefully, so I want to hear your suggestions and opinions. .”
Lin Mu didn't speak for a while, she was trying to put herself in Cheng Wan's shoes, but found that she couldn't do it at all. If it was her, she would of course choose to divorce without hesitation.
But everyone's situation is different.
Cheng Wan smiled and said: "Mu Mu, you are hesitating. I know you are all for my own good. If you all agree and encourage me to divorce, I will not discuss it with you two."
After all, Lin Mu is young and has little experience, and has never experienced such a major decision. If it is just a personal choice, it doesn't matter, but it is a family-led one, and it will affect the whole body.
She said: "I hope you will seriously consider all the situations and risks before making a decision. After all, this is not a trivial matter."
Cheng Wan nodded solemnly: "Qiu Chi, what about you?"
Ruan Qiuchi said: "Since you have made a decision and thought it over, I will do my best to help. I know a divorce lawyer, and I can introduce you to you later."
Cheng Wan took a long breath of relief: "You two words are enough."
She is afraid to tell anyone else about this decision at the moment, because no one will support her.
After talking about the business, the dishes started to be served. Cheng Wan seemed to have relieved the burden on her shoulders. She had a goal and a light in her eyes. It seemed that she had been thinking about this matter for more than two months.
Lin Mu asked, "Have you talked to him?"
Cheng Wan sneered and said: "In order to continue the precious incense of their family, he should agree. There is no love between us for a long time, but there may be differences and problems in the division of property and competition for child custody."
Since Cheng Wan had a good idea in his heart, Lin Mu didn't mention it anymore, but just talked about some light topics. Cheng Wan probably felt unworthy of the choice back then, and kept drinking.
Cheng Wan said with emotion: "Double Eleven will be here soon."
Ruan Qiuchi's eyes darkened, and his movements of picking up vegetables froze slightly.
Cheng Wan drank too much and was a little confused. She obviously forgot that this day was not only Double Eleven, but also the day when Lin Mu disappeared, and said, "But Double Eleven doesn't have any discounts, it's all a lie."
Lin Mu reminded her: "It's only September, and it's still early for November."
Cheng Wan: "Yes, you are right."
Lin Mu stretched out his left hand silently, and put it lightly on Ruan Qiuchi's thigh, feeling a little scared in his heart, like the second day after he just came back, he was afraid that he would travel to a more distant future when he woke up.
Ruan Qiuchi held her back: "Don't be afraid."
Cheng Wan stood up suddenly: "Mumu, I still envy the deep relationship between you two. Sometimes I think, if he and I, no matter who, disappeared suddenly, the relationship would have ended long ago. Now There is no need to worry about whether to divorce or not."
"I'm not saying that it's better for you to separate. During the time when you disappeared, Qiuchi looked for you everywhere, and there were various problems with your body. Do you know that?"
Seeing that Ruan Qiuchi wanted to stop Cheng Wan, Lin Mu took the first step and said, "I know."
Ruan Qiuchi looked at the two of them nervously.
"It's good that you know. Qiu Chi is still the same as when he was in school. He is like a boring gourd. He doesn't want to tell anyone about anything. I only found out after asking for a long time. Mu Mu, you must let her change her bad temper." Cheng Said late.
Cheng Wan was still the same as before, talking non-stop when he was drunk.
This is the second time Lin Mu has heard her envying herself, and she also feels that she is very happy and has all of Ruan Qiuchi's feelings.
Cheng Wan was not very drunk, but she talked too much. Lin Mu and Ruan Qiuchi called a taxi for her, sent her to the car, and told the driver to take her home before leaving the restaurant.
"Ah Ruan, Cheng Wan asked you to change your boring temper. You must tell me everything in the future. Don't be like before, and you don't tell me when you have a bad heart." Lin Mu was just joking at first, but later he was still worried.
She felt that Ruan Qiuchi was really not good at this point, he hid everything too deeply, and she only found out that Ruan Qiuchi liked her a long time ago.
Ruan Qiuchi's eyes were a little erratic: "Yes."
Only then was Lin Mu satisfied, and then he thought about what we were talking about today: "This is the first time we participated in this general decision. We support Cheng Wan, and we don't know if we did it right? The last time it was like this..."
Still decided whether to study abroad or not, but it caused them to quarrel, and then separated for 18 years inexplicably, Lin Mu stopped in time.
Ruan Qiuchi said: "There is never a mandatory right or wrong decision, but every decision you make will have different consequences."
Of course Lin Mu understood this truth. She was wondering if they had never been separated, would they be like Cheng Wan and her husband?
From the loving couple at the beginning, to the current dislike of seeing each other, no, definitely not.
Ruan Qiuchi noticed Lin Mu's thoughts and thought she was still thinking about what Cheng Wan said, so he took Lin Mu's hand harder and said, "Don't think too much."
Lin Mu nodded heavily: "Yes."
A gust of cool wind blew by, and Lin Mu only felt refreshed. Maybe Cheng Wan's decision to divorce would be a better start.
"I've been a little slack lately, and it seems that I can't even draw the lines steadily." Lin Mu was inexplicably impatient, feeling that she had reached the legendary bottleneck period, but she was obviously just a novice.
Ruan Qiuchi said from the side: "Don't worry, as long as you can practice one or two cards a day and keep your hand feeling, you don't need to take the school exam."
Lin Mu was a little distressed: "I haven't made any progress recently, and I always feel like I'm practicing repeatedly."
"You are improving every painting, but you are a fan of the authorities. Last time you went to the art exhibition, you wanted to imitate other people's painting styles. In fact, everyone's painting styles are different. You don't have to imitate others."
With tickets given by Han Yushu, Lin Mu and Ruan Qiuchi went to the art exhibition and saw a painting style they liked very much. After returning, Lin Mu wanted to learn the other's style, and now he is a little impatient.
Ruan Qiuchi patiently helped Lin Mu point out all the advantages. Lin Mu was encouraged and cheered up again to get through the first bottleneck.
Yangqing called to say that the title page signed by him had been sent, and asked Ruan Qiuchi to check it carefully. Lin Mu had already experienced this matter, and excitedly reminded Ruan Qiuchi: "Ah Ruan, remember to stamp it."
Ruan Qiuchi responded with a smile: "You build it."
After Ruan Qiuchi finished signing, Lin Mu carefully stamped his name, as if it was a work of art completed by them together.
The photo of the physical book signed on Weibo, sharp-eyed fans found that there was an extra seal than before.
——"After so many years, Teacher Ruan has finally come up with a new trick, hahaha (dog head)"
——"There is an extra chapter under the signature."
——"Why is there an extra chapter this year? Boldly guess, will it have something to do with my sister-in-law?"
——"Can the drug-addicted chicken take it easy? Everything can be involved in knocking c."
——"I just knock and knock."
——"They're a couple, and they're not hype. I want to knock c too."
——"Maybe it's really a fake couple. I ate the melon next door. Your teacher Ruan might be mentally ill, hahaha."
——"You must be sick!"
Lin Mu looked at these remarks that were both true and false, and his good mood was destroyed, and he was angry for a while, but he knew that this is the trend on the Internet, so there is no need to really care about each other.
Ruan Qiuchi was already immune to these comments. After a moment of silence, he said in a relaxed tone: "Maybe I really have a mental problem."
Seeing that she was still joking at this time, Lin Mu felt distressed and angry, and said, "Nonsense, you are obviously fine, there is no problem at all."
Ruan Qiuchi lowered his eyes: "Yes, I'm fine."
Hers is not a mental problem, and it is not the same type of disease as mental illness.
"However, I did have mental problems, and even had auditory hallucinations for a while."
Lin Mu's heart seemed to be hoisted high, and tremblingly said: "Is it cured now?"
Ruan Qiuchi nodded: "It's cured, except for insomnia, everything else is fine, and after you come back, the insomnia has also been greatly relieved."
Lin Muxu was startled: "You scared me."
Ruan Qiuchi lowered his eyebrows: "I'm sorry."
Ruan Qiuchi devoted himself to writing again.
Lin Mu continued to practice painting. Recently, she has been intensively practicing grasping shapes, and sometimes sketches against Ruan Qiuchi. Every gesture and look in Lin Mu's eyes feels extraordinarily fresh.
On the other hand, Cheng Wan wanted to divorce, but encountered great obstacles. Many people disapproved of her, firstly her parents, and secondly her mother-in-law.
"My son's business is getting better and better. You are now divorced, which is not good for you or your child. A man can find a partner easily at any time, but it is not easy for you to drag your children. You have to think about it. There is no one like me in the world." The son is such an honest husband who can take care of the family and make money."
Cheng Wan's mother-in-law became anxious when she learned that Cheng Wan was going to divorce and planned to take the child away.
Ruan Qiuchi also went to ask Cheng Wan about finances. Cheng Wan said that she still had some savings, and her husband had a good business recently. It was their joint property, and she had already convinced her parents that they would help her with the children, so she could support herself.
As for child custody, her eldest daughter voluntarily asked to follow her husband, and the younger daughter was still young, so she would follow her mother even if it was a lawsuit.
Until the National Day holiday, this matter has not been settled for the time being. Lin Mu walked back while returning the message sent late on the journey. She tiptoed to give Ruan Qiuchi a surprise.
Entering the password lightly, the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were not opened, and the living room was a little dark. Lin Mu walked over and opened the curtains, and the lucky bamboo on the balcony had already withered.
Like a thief, she walked to the door of the study room. The door was not closed tightly. She pushed it open gently. When she looked through the crack of the door, Ruan Qiuchi was looking down at a book.
During the National Day holiday, Han Yushu had other arrangements. It is said that her parents forced her to go on a blind date. Lin Mu was already on vacation, but Ruan Qiuchi didn't know the news yet. Lin Mu wanted to surprise her.
"Ah Ruan, what book are you reading?" Lin Mu walked behind Ruan Qiuchi, put his hand lightly on her shoulder, and leaned over to glance casually.
The book is still handwritten.
Ruan Qiuchi seems to like handwriting very much. Since Lin Mu used a smart phone, he seldom uses a pen except for drawing.
Ruan Qiuchi didn't expect Lin Mu to come back suddenly. With a slight shake of his shoulders, he immediately closed the book, and said in a flustered tone, "Some information."
Ruan Qiuchi had never been so flustered before, Lin Mu said guiltily, "Did I scare you just now?"
Ruan Qiuchi pressed the book to the bottom, turned around, and did not deny it: "There is a little bit."
Lin Mu walked around to Ruan Qiuchi's side, took her hand, and comforted her: "I'm sorry, I thought you would be very surprised. In the past, the old people said that you can't pat the shoulders, and they would pat three fires away. I should kiss from behind. Get yours."
Knowing that she didn't see the content, Ruan Qiuchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's all feudal superstition, why did you come back early?"
Lin Mu covered his sore and swollen belly: "I came back with a stomachache, and Mr. Han is going on a blind date, and the studio will not be open during the National Day holiday."
It was only then that Ruan Qiuchi realized that Lin Mu's complexion was not very good, and she was a little pale. She withdrew her hand and gently stroked Lin Mu's forehead. It was warm and did not have a fever: "Did you eat something bad?"
Lin Mu rubbed her hand and said aggrievedly: "No, it's a monthly visit from relatives."
Ruan Qiuchi's frowning brows were relaxed, and he stretched out his hand to rub Lin Mu's belly, and opened the notepad with the other hand, which recorded Lin Mu's menstrual period in detail, which day it started and which day it ended, which seemed to be more important than Lin Mu's. Mu still needs to be clear.
"It's indeed your menstrual period recently. I forgot to remind you. You ate shaved ice yesterday."
Lin Mu tilted his head and glanced, his face was a little hot: "Ah Ruan, why do you memorize everything? I don't memorize these things myself."
Ruan Qiuchi closed the notebook: "I'm used to it."
The feeling of being always remembered and cared about is too sweet. Even the trivial things, as long as they are about her, will be treated by Ruan Qiuchi. Throwing into Ruan Qiuchi's arms, she leaned close to hold Ruan Qiuchi's lips, and gave a light kiss.
The two sat and stood, Ruan Qiuchi raised his head to enjoy Lin Mu's light kiss, and finally the light kiss became heavier.
Lin Mu's eyes were full of water, and Ruan Qiuchi was no exception, with waves hidden in his eyes, and his lips seemed to be full of dewy cherries.
Lin Mu leaned in her arms: "These information books are so thick, is it complicated to write this time?"
Lin Mu currently only knows that the new book is a criminal investigation subject, and the specific content is not clear, but there are too many reference materials. Every time she comes back, Ruan Qiuchi's desk will be full of thick books.
Ruan Qiuchi hugged Lin Mu and rubbed her belly lightly: "This time there is some trouble."
Lin Mu was a little worried: "Ah Ruan, how much have you written in total? Do you want to take a break?"
"15 chapters, but when I write the next chapter, I need to read through the previous content, otherwise I may forget the previous details, causing the subsequent plot and character settings to contradict themselves."
Lin Mu followed with a frown: "Wouldn't it be more and more difficult to write until the end? It would be great if I could finish all the writing in one day."
Ruan Qiuchi said: "This is a common occurrence."
Never had this problem before.
Lin Mu Ning thought for a while, and suggested: "I'll read the previous content first, and then you write a chapter, and I will read a chapter, and I will help you check for plot loopholes and bugs, so that you don't have to keep reading the previous chapters backwards. content."
Lin Mu's thought was simple, Ruan Qiuchi couldn't bear her kindness, nodded and smiled, "Good idea."
Lin Mu suddenly smiled.
Ruan Qiuchi placed his fingers on Lin Mu's stomach one after another, suddenly hesitating.
Lin Mu turned around, brushed aside the hair that covered Ruan Qiuchi's face, in a daze, saw a few more obvious fine lines in the corners of her eyes, was startled, and immediately pretended not to see it, and leaned against her cheek: "You Is there something you want to tell me?"
Ruan Qiuchi responded in a low voice.
Lin Mu thought it was funny, stepped back a little, stretched out his hand to pinch Ruan Qiuchi's face, and said, "Tell me, don't be a boring gourd as we agreed before."
Ruan Qiuchi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Mu: "I may have to go on a long trip tomorrow."
Lin Mu's face turned cold: "Where are you going?"
She wanted to say that she could go together, but Ruan Qiuchi obviously meant that she would go alone.
Ruan Qiuchi said softly: "Go to the prison in city b. My book is more sophisticated. I have encountered some problems at the moment. I need to do a field trip. You wait for me at home, and I will be back soon."
Knowing that he would not be able to help if he followed, Lin Mu did not fight, and lowered his head and said, "Okay."
Ruan Qiuchi said, "I'll be back in three days at most."
Lin Mu lay in her arms sullenly, responded with a low level, and took a sharp breath: "Ah Ruan, have you washed your clothes? There seems to be a smell of laundry detergent on the collar."
Ruan Qiuchi was stunned, and he was not sure: "It should not be there, even if there was, I would not get laundry detergent on my collar."
"I'll go over and have a look." Lin Mu got up to look. There was obviously laundry in the washing machine, and it had already been dehydrated, so she took the clothes out to dry: "Ah Ruan, your memory is not very good, you must be writing every day recently. too much."
Ruan Qiuchi's hand hanging by his side slightly curled up.
To prevent Lin Mu from being alone, after Ruan Qiuchi left, he asked Song Nian to stay with her at home.
Song Nian: "My mother is also on a long trip, and we happen to be playing black games together at home."
Lin Mu: "Did she go with Ah Ruan?"
"That's right. My mother said that Auntie Qiuchi has writing problems and needs to go to the prison. I have never been there. They used to travel a lot, saying they were looking for inspiration."
Song Nian held his chin: "They often don't take me with them when they travel, I thought..."
At that time, she thought that her mother was having an affair with Aunt Qiuchi, and that she went on a trip in order to sneak through the world of two people. She was afraid that she would be sad if she found out, so she avoided her everywhere.
Afraid that Lin Mu would think too much, Song Nian did not continue.
Lin Mu thought that Ruan Qiuchi said last time that when she said she was looking for inspiration, she was actually looking for her. Could there be other things to do this time?
Song Nian: "Lin Mu, what are you thinking?"
Lin Mu: "I want to make a call."
"Let's fight, let's fight. I didn't expect you to be so clingy, so we separated for a long time." Song Nian smiled as her aunt. There are too many things she didn't expect, and now she still has the illusion that she is still a melon eater.
Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, she was indeed too clingy, but clingy is clingy.
After Lin Mu hesitated for a second, she called Ruan Qiuchi. Hearing the beeps coming from the phone, she was inexplicably nervous.
Song Nian mouth-shaped on the side: "You can't be checking Aunt Qiuchi's post, are you?"
Just as Lin Mu was about to say no, Ruan Qiuchi had connected to the phone, and said softly, "Lin Mu?"
Before Lin Mu made the call, he didn't have a good idea to say, so he said hesitantly, "Ah...Ah Ruan."
"What's the matter, are you not feeling well?"
"No... I just miss you." Lin Mu thumped his head. Looking for her and finding inspiration can be carried out at the same time. She doesn't have to worry about these at all. What she should worry about is her heart problem.
Ruan Qiuchi said softly, "I miss you too."
The corners of Lin Mu's mouth almost reached his ears, but Song Nian was staring at him, so he could only ask in a polite manner, "Well, have you eaten yet?"
Ruan Qiuchi: "I've already eaten, how about you?"
Lin Mu lay on the sofa: "After eating, let's play a video? I want to see you."
Ruan Qiuchi suddenly fell silent, and after a while he said, "It's not convenient for me now, and we don't allow taking photos or recording videos here."
It should be normal that photos and videos are not allowed in the prison, Lin Mu didn't think much about it: "Okay."
Ruan Qiuchi: "Do you still have dysmenorrhea? There are also painkillers and baby warmers in the cupboard. You can stick one and try it. You will feel much more comfortable when you sleep at night."
Lin Mu repeatedly replied: "No, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu still had a smile on her face. Seeing that Song Nian was also smiling, she had the illusion that she was a child who couldn't live without her parents.
in the hospital.
Song Yao: "Aren't you going to tell her?"
Ruan Qiuchi was silent for a moment: "I want to maintain my good image for a while longer."
Song Yao said helplessly: "Actually, no matter what you are, she will think it is beautiful or even perfect."
Ruan Qiuchi closed his eyes and did not speak.
Even though Song Nian was playing games with her at home, Sister Sun often came to cook and clean up. The house seemed very lively, but Lin Mu was still very unaccustomed to it. She and Ruan Qiuchi stayed together almost all the time and hadn't been separated yet.
This kind of unaccustomedness was deeply imprinted in his mind, and Lin Mu remembered that when they were in school, they rarely separated.
Once again, she couldn't imagine how Ruan Qiuchi guarded a bed alone after she disappeared.
Lin Mu woke up in the morning with two dark circles under his eyes.
Song Nian was stunned: "Did you not sleep well?"
Lin Mu shook his head: "I'm fine."
Song Nian knew that the two of them had a sudden "long-distance relationship", and he was definitely not used to it, so he suggested, "I asked out a friend, do you want to hang out together?"
Lin Mu: "No, I'm drawing at home."
Song Nian: "Okay, don't worry, Aunt Qiuchi will be back in two days."
Lin Mu: "Yes."
Lin Mu's daily life at home is still to lay a solid foundation. She was painting, and Han Yushu sent her a WeChat message, saying that he would take her to see her teacher.
Thinking about going to see the teacher's teacher soon, Lin Mu panicked for a while.
Lin Mu followed Han Yushu to meet the teacher. He was an old man with gray hair but clear eyes. This was also the first time Lin Mu had seen what it means to paint casually.
There are no rules, no need to draw a draft, almost every stroke is a painting, and the onlookers don't know what they want to paint at the beginning of each stroke.
Lin Mu shared this incident with Ruan Qiuchi.
Ruan Qiuchi was sincerely happy for her: "That old professor is very famous in the painting world. He used to paint with ink dots, and he has a great control over light and shadow."
As soon as Lin Mu heard it, he knew that Ruan Qiuchi must have arranged this time again. He was afraid that she would be bored at home, so he asked Han Yushu to take her out to gain knowledge.
Lin Mu said, "Ah Ruan, I miss you."
Ruan Qiuchi: "I'll be back soon."
Lin Mu excitedly said, "Tomorrow?"
Ruan Qiuchi hesitated: "Probably the day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow was also very fast. Lin Mu and Ruan Qiuchi talked about some daily life again. After she finished hanging up Ruan Qiuchi's call, she received a video call from Qiu Chan: "Mu Mu, I'm here to play with you."
Lin Mu: "Aren't you studying in another place?"
Qiu Chan: "I'm going home for the National Day, I'm at home now, do you want to come and play together tomorrow?"
Lin Mu thought it would be boring to stay at home, and it was rare for Qiu Chan to come back, and she would go abroad in the future, so she agreed without much consideration.
She just never expected that Qiu Chan said to go out to play together, to take her to the comic exhibition. Lin Mu was called up early the next day. Qiu Chan took her to make up first, and then changed her clothes and put on a wig. Mu can only be done by her.
Lin Mu: "I don't even know this character."
Qiu Chan: "Don't worry, I haven't watched this episode yet, but your figure and face are very suitable for this character, try wearing a wig."
Lin Mu had no choice but to cover his face and run away when he saw his newly dressed self in the mirror.
Qiu Chan: "Hold your head up, I'll take a picture of you, do you think Teacher Ruan can recognize you?"
Whether she can recognize it, she can't let Ruan Qiuchi know that it's her, she's too childish.
Lin Mu refused: "Just take a picture and send it to me."
In the morning, I accompanied Qiu Chan to the comic exhibition, took photos everywhere, bought merchandise, and waited in line for autographs. When I came out, Lin Mu was exhausted and went directly to a western restaurant near the comic exhibition center.
Lin Mu just sat down and saw a familiar figure, and she never looked away.
Seeing that Lin Mu didn't pick the photos, Qiu Chan asked strangely, "Why do you keep staring there?"
She craned her neck to look.
"Teacher Ruan?" Qiu Chan asked in surprise, "Shall we go over and say hello? Mu Mu, you don't need to take pictures anymore, she will definitely not recognize her."
Lin Mu frowned and didn't speak. Ruan Qiuchi was chatting and laughing happily with a well-dressed woman. He looked very intimate. Didn't it mean that he was coming back?Lin Mu's eyes darkened.
Qiu Chan obviously also saw that woman, and after observing Lin Mu's expression, she didn't dare to say anything.
But she has always been quick-spoken, wondering: "What's the situation? Could it be cheating?"
Lin Mu said firmly: "Of course not."
But Ah Ruan must have something to hide from her.
After Lin Mu and Qiu Chan greeted each other, they walked over wearing colorful clothes, sat behind Ruan Qiuchi, put their ears on their ears, and tried to listen to their conversation.
The capable woman in a suit hesitated and said, "Are you really going to do this?"
Lin Mu was wondering what Ruan Qiuchi was going to do, and heard Ruan Qiuchi say: "Well, we just need to add some more to the previous version."
The woman in the suit: "Ah Ruan, think about it carefully. She is still young and has many possibilities in the future. It is too risky for you to do so."
This woman is called Aruan Aruan?And he seemed to know her, Lin Mu was so surprised that the water glass was poured, and the waiter quickly came over and asked, "Ma'am, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Mu was afraid that his words would be discovered, so he just shook his head, and then returned to his position calmly.
Qiu Chan asked, "What did you hear?"
Lin Mu nonsense: "It's about work."
"That's good, you should go straight over and reveal your identity, and give Teacher Ruan a surprise."
Lin Mu: "This dress is too ugly."
Qiu Chan: "..."
After separating from Qiu Chan, Lin Mu returned home restlessly, still thinking about what Ruan Qiuchi was talking about with that woman, she finally called Ruan Qiuchi: "Ah Ruan, are you back?"
Ruan Qiuchi: "Well, I'll be there in the evening."
Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Ruan Qiuchi didn't hide it from her when he came back. She said, "Then I'll pick you up."
Ruan Qiuchi said warmly: "It's too late, you go to sleep, I'll just take a taxi and come here by myself."
Lin Mu didn't say anything.
Ruan Qiuchi was puzzled: "Lin Mu?"
Lin Mu said sullenly: "Then you pay attention to safety."
"Okay." Ruan Qiuchi felt that Lin Mu's attitude was a bit strange, but he planned to ask her again when he went back.
After taking a taxi to the community, Ruan Qiuchi walked to the door, checked his clothes, entered the password, and just stepped into the entrance without having time to change his shoes.
There were extra hands around the waist, and then the body was hugged tightly, Ruan Qiuchi was slightly stunned, and when he smelled the familiar breath, he slowly relaxed his body and hugged her.
Ruan Qiuchi asked softly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Mu didn't give Ruan Qiuchi a chance to speak, she gently covered her lips, and when both of them were out of breath, she said without warning, "Ah Ruan, you must be hiding something from me."
Ruan Qiuchi shook his eyes, and subconsciously denied, "No."
Lin Mu was full of disbelief, and said in a deep voice: "I saw you with a woman in a suit before, and she looks about your age."
Ruan Qiuchi's expression froze slightly, and he explained: "She is my cousin, I mentioned to you before, my aunt's daughter, she is a lawyer."
lawyer?Lin Mu recalled what he heard before: "Then what are you talking about?"
Ruan Qiuchi seemed to have realized: "Is that you with the blue wig in the western restaurant?"
"Yes, it's me, don't change the subject." Lin Mu's attitude was unprecedentedly tough, as if Ruan Qiuchi would not give up until he answered.
Ruan Qiuchi and her looked at each other quietly, Lin Mu's face was serious, Ruan Qiuchi seemed to see the Lin Mu from before, the Lin Mu who would force himself to use her pocket money.
Her lips trembled, and she said in a low voice, "I'll ask her to make a new will."
A string broke in Lin Mu's mind, and his body froze in place.
