Tolerate

Lu Qingming surrounded her silently.

Like their intimacy a long time ago.

But... completely different.

They dare not speak, for fear of waking up any relatives sleeping in the same room.

After a while like this, Lu Qingming asked again, "Is it still cold? Where is it cold?"

Chi Muyun didn't speak, but turned around slowly, and put his forehead on Lu Qingming's neck.

Another moment of silence.

After embracing each other quietly for a while, Chi Muyun said softly, "Okay, I'm not cold anymore."

Lu Qingming didn't move at all.

Chi Muyun had to gently break away from her, "Go to sleep..."

Lu Qingming actually wanted to hug her for a while longer.

In fact, there are more things that she wants to do.

But now... She had no choice but to return her quilt obediently, and propped up her arms to tuck the corners of Chi Muyun's quilt.

New Year's Eve is a busy day.Paste Spring Festival couplets, burn incense to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, set off firecrackers, cook New Year dishes...

Although the New Year's Eve is similar every year, people still enjoy it.

But this year's New Year's Eve was unusual for Chi Muyun and Lu Qingming.

They cook as usual and put up Spring Festival couplets, but when they look at each other, there is clearly a lot of inexplicable content.

For them, these contents are unknown and exciting, like unexplored scenic spots, full of countless wonderful possibilities.

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Chi family decided to return to the capital.

Probably because of Chi Muyun, Grandpa Chi and Grandma Chi agreed to go to the capital together, which saved Ling Suzhen and Chi Tianxiang a lot of drooling.

The two elders are almost ninety years old, and they have finally opened up, and they are willing to spend a few days with them.

Aunt Chi heard that they were leaving, so she came to Chi's house specially, had a meal, and complained a lot of hardships, saying that she had worked hard all her life, and the children she raised were not up to date, nor filial, and the old man would not listen to her If so, don't love her...

Xu Xu talked a lot, causing Grandma Chi to cry, saying that she didn't know her daughter's illness was so serious, otherwise she must have taken out the coffin book to treat her daughter well...

Aunt Chi's reason for coming, Chi Muyun understood.Putting everything aside, Aunt Chi's current situation is indeed very pitiful. The most important thing is that both Grandpa Chi and Grandma Chi are worried about their only daughter.They are very old now, and they can no longer take care of Aunt Chi, so they are naturally reluctant.

Chi Muyun hurriedly comforted the elders.When it was getting dark, Aunt Chi was going home, so Chi Muyun drove to see her off.

"I'll go too." Lu Qingming quickly put on his gloves.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Chi Muyun's eyes, but he still nodded.

At the entrance of the small courtyard of the Lu family, Chi Muyun took out a paper bag from his bag, "Auntie, when I came to see you during the Chinese New Year, I only brought you some nutritional supplements, and I will make up for it today."

Aunt Chi said, "It's not easy for you to work outside... No need."

Chi Muyun put it directly into the pocket of her cotton-padded jacket, "Auntie, take it."

Lu Qingming got out of the car and helped Aunt Chi open the car door, "Grandma, slow down."

Aunt Chi struggled to get out of the car. Recently, she suffered from leg problems, and when the weather turned cold, her legs hurt so much that it was difficult to stand up.Lu Qingming helped Aunt Chi and let her enter the house slowly.

Coming out of Lu's house, Lu Qingming sat in the passenger seat.

She watched Chi Muyun start the car, drive, then lowered her head and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Chi Muyun was a little embarrassed when she looked at her and smiled.Could it be something on her face?Is it because the lipstick is not wiped properly, did it get on the face?

"Yun," Lu Qingming stopped laughing and looked at her with sparkling eyes, "You are so pretty."

Lu Qingming didn't just say this this time.During their time together, Lu Qingming expressed similar compliments to her more than once.

But it has never made Chi Muyun blush like this time.Her eloquence suddenly faded, and like a young girl in love she didn't know how to respond to the compliment.

In Lu Qingming's eyes, only her blushing cheeks and long eyelashes flickered unnaturally.

"cloud……"

Chi Muyun heard Lu Qingming whisper, "Yun... let's go and see the seabuckthorn tree, shall we?"

Seabuckthorn trees are relatively common tree species in the local area. In autumn, clusters of seabuckthorn fruits ripen, but few people come to pick them, so the ripe fruits stay lonely on the branches until the severe winter of ice and snow.

Therefore, when you go up the mountain in winter, you can see a piece of orange in the distance, that is the fruit-laden seabuckthorn tree calling to people.The fruit is frozen, but it is still edible, and it is sour and icy, and tastes good.

It's winter, and it's still "Bao Wu". There is no one on the mountain, only the occasional pheasant crowing in the woods.

"There!" Lu Qingming got out of the car, ran to the dirt slope with long legs, cheered, picked a small bunch of sea buckthorn, and helped Chi Muyun taste it first.

She nodded, carefully picked out another small bunch, jumped down the slope vigorously, and handed it to Chi Muyun's mouth.

"Yun, try it. It's delicious."

Looking up at Lu Qingming's thin lips with a beautiful smile, Chi Muyun opened his mouth trustingly, and put a few small orange fruits into his mouth.

The moment Chi Muyun bit the fruit, he almost jumped up.Her delicate eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled, and she stuck out her tongue, "It's so sour..." She looked up and saw the girl's cunning smile, and suddenly realized, "You lied to me!"

Like a little girl, she chased Lu Qingming and beat her.

Lu Qingming's movements were strong, and he dodged a few times casually, but Chi Muyun couldn't get close to her at all.Chi Muyun pouted in anger.She hadn't seen such a childish expression for a long time.

Her pursed lips were bright red, her eyebrows were vivid and cute, Lu Qingming couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

As soon as she was distracted, Chi Muyun grabbed her wrist and said out of breath, "Why are you running..."

She ran in a hurry, a little out of breath, so she pressed Lu Qingming's wrist to rest, and didn't bother to settle accounts with her.

Lu Qingming looked down at her.

Chi Muyun raised his head, and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly went dark.

There is a rough and warm touch on the eye socket.It was Lu Qingming's palm.

Lu Qingming gently covered Chi Muyun's eyes, and looked down at those bright red lips.

She never thought that one day, she could realize everything in her dream.She was afraid that all of this was fake, or... Chi Muyun suddenly reacted and calmed down, and would push her away again.

"Yun, it's better if you can't see me this way." Lu Qingming said softly.

The bright red lips fluttered, as if wanting to say something.

Lu Qingming moved closer, "Yun, can I... kiss you?"

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that what she said was not precise enough, so she emphasized, "The kind of kiss."

Time passed by second by second.

Chi Muyun seemed to be stunned, but still didn't respond.

Lu Qingming was a little frustrated.The mountain wind was rustling, and it was very cold on the face.She didn't know if she had misunderstood something, so she was so cautious.

"Ah."

Just when she was about to let go of her hands, Chi Muyun replied softly.

The voice was so soft that Lu Qingming was even afraid that he had heard it wrong.

But Chi Muyun nodded lightly.

The big tree in Lu Qingming's heart instantly blossomed.

The warm, thin and soft lips touched lightly tentatively.

In the cold wind, Chi Muyun's cheeks and lips also quickly became hot.She involuntarily leaned forward slightly.

Feeling her cooperation and tolerance, Lu Qingming slowly pressed her lips against hers.

A tender, innocent kiss.

In this simple and lonely mountain, only pheasants and squirrels can witness it.

"Xiaoyun, why is your face so red?" Ling Suzhen touched her daughter's face strangely, and then said worriedly, "This winter is colder than every year. Why did you go out? Did you freeze your face?"

Chi Muyun lowered his head and smiled, "It's okay, it might be cold, it will be fine in a while."

Ling Suzhen felt even more strange, "Hey, why is it so hot?"

Chi Muyun thought for a while and said, "Maybe... won't it be hot if you go into the room after freezing?"

What the daughter said made sense, and Ling Suzhen nodded in agreement.Chi Muyun seldom lied, seeing that Ling Suzhen believed in him deeply, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he went into the back room.

I need to pack up my things, and I will be returning to the capital tomorrow.

In the evening, the family gathered around the outhouse and ate a few pieces of roasted sweet potatoes.

After Chi Muyun finished eating, seeing that Ling Suzhen had washed her hands first and entered the room, she also followed into the Westinghouse.

"Mom, I want to tell you something." Chi Muyun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Ling Suzhen sat on the edge of the Kang, nodded and said, "Tell me, Mom is listening."

"I think..." Chi Muyun sat beside his mother, "I'd better go meet them."

When Ling Suzhen heard the words, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.She shouldn't have quarreled with Chi Tianxiang because of her emotions. Now, even Qingming probably knows about it...

There was a sudden thump in her heart, and she thought of a question that she had never considered before.If Lu Qingming knew about Chi Muyun's life experience, wouldn't there be one less obstacle?

She even scolded herself for being confused in her heart, for not paying attention to such an obvious thing.

Now that Chi Muyun said that she still wanted to meet the couple, she couldn't help feeling more distressed about her daughter.Chi Muyun didn't want to embarrass her, so he decided to meet her anyway, right?

A few days ago, the couple said that they wanted to come and pick up Chi Muyun for a new year. Ling Suzhen naturally understood the feeling of being a parent, but she had no choice but to not force her precious daughter.

So she never wanted to mention this matter to Chi Muyun, but that person Chi Tianxiang always told her about it, and the couple over there always called her. , as if she was controlling her daughter and not letting her recognize her relatives.

So these days she has been suppressing the anger in her heart.If it weren't for the fact that they were Xiaoyun's biological parents, she would have grown tired of them.

"Xiaoyun... If you don't want to see her, don't force yourself, Mom will take care of that." Ling Suzhen couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

Chi Muyun shook his head, and hugged his mother's arm as he did when he was a child, "Mom, I've made it clear, it's good to see each other."
