Tolerate

As soon as she got home, Chi Muyun took a look at the greenhouse—as expected, the girl squatted in the greenhouse again, her big eyes shining, listening to Ling Suzhen tell interesting stories about plants.

Ling Shuzhen talked about Nepenthes and Rafflesia so vividly that the girl forgot to blink her eyes.

Chi Muyun quietly stood by the greenhouse door, seeing the girl's serious and lovely appearance, her expression became softer.

After a while, there was a "click" from the door, and Chi Muyun turned around to see that it was Chi Muqiu.

Chi Muqiu was wearing a suit and light makeup, his face was a little tired.Seeing Chi Muyun looking at her, she bowed her head a little guilty for some reason, "Have you eaten yet?"

Chi Muyun nodded, walked over and said, "Well, I've eaten all of them. Aunt Wu should have left food for you."

"Ah..." Chi Muqiu agreed and was about to go to the kitchen.

"Wait..." Chi Muyun said softly, "Xia Bing called me suddenly today... Although she changed the subject later, I think she definitely wanted to ask you. What's wrong with you?"

Chi Muqiu laughed dryly, "It's nothing."

Chi Muyun frowned lightly, "Really?"

"What can we do..." Chi Muqiu took off his suit and threw it on the sofa, "I'm starving to death, I'm going to eat."

Looking at the back of her fleeing in a hurry, Chi Muyun shook his head.Maybe there was a fight?

Just as she lowered her head to think, she was suddenly embraced.Chi Muyun smiled and turned his head, only to see a small face full of collagen.The girl looked at her with bright eyes, "Yun~"

Ling Suzhen said lovingly, "I don't always call you aunt." She turned to Chi Muyun again, "You did so well in the Qingming final exam, so you should reward it well."

Chi Muyun put his arms around the girl's shoulders and said with a smile, "Okay."

On weekends, Chi Muyun took Lu Qingming to eat at that Japanese restaurant.After eating, I originally wanted to go to the skating rink, but it was obvious that Lu Qingming was too full, so Chi Muyun changed his mind and took her to a nearby video game city.

"Yun, do your feet still hurt?" Lu Qingming raised her head and asked her.She actually didn't want to come out, but Chi Muyun insisted on taking her to eat.

It made her look at Chi Muyun's ankle all the way.

Chi Muyun patted her head, "The pain has been gone for a long time, and it's not too serious."

Lu Qingming sighed softly, "Really..."

The video game city on weekends is overcrowded, full of young people and children, noisy.Qingming hooked Chi Muyun's hand, turned his little head left and right to look around.

"What do you want to play?" The surroundings were too noisy, Chi Muyun had to lower his head and ask in Lu Qingming's ear.

Lu Qingming looked at her, "Can you play?"

Chi Muyun shook his head slightly, "I won't."

Lu Qingming approached her ear and said, "I can't either. How about, let's go?"

Chi Muyun was slightly stunned, then patted her head, "Don't you want to play?"

"It's too noisy, my ears are buzzing." The girl said with a slight frown.

Chi Muyun couldn't help laughing, took the girl's hand and went to the cinema on the third floor.It just so happens that a domestic cartoon of the same name is about to be released.

"What do you want to see?" Chi Muyun stood still, looking at the poster of "Pigman" on the publicity board, and asked.

Lu Qingming pointed to "Children's Dream".

"Children's Dream" tells the story of a little boy who longs to grow up and becomes an adult overnight.Even if it is a movie with this theme, there are still lovers next to each other.

Chi Muyun was a little embarrassed, and handed the popcorn to the girl beside him.

The girl looked back and started eating popcorn.She was a little puzzled, what is this man and woman doing?Why not watch a movie?

After watching the movie, the sun is setting outside.Holding the girl's hand, Chi Muyun suddenly realized that the girl, like her, is not a person who likes to be lively.

There are very few children who don't like video games.

Or maybe even smaller.Judging by her personality, she is still cheerful.Maybe in the future, I will also like the hustle and bustle of the city.

She glanced at the girl.The girl was holding her with one hand, copying her clothes pocket with the other, squinting slightly at the barbecue booth in the distance.

Two skewers of gluten per person, with any sauce.

"Why don't those two people watch movies? What are they doing?" Lu Qingming ate quickly, holding an empty stick and said.

Chi Muyun was a little embarrassed.She wiped the corners of her lips with a tissue, and was silent for a few seconds before she said, "That's a way of expressing love."

Lu Qingming showed a happy expression, "Can I do the same in the future?"

She thought it was quite fun, and the two of them bit back and forth.It seems to be on TV too, but Ling Suzhen doesn't let her watch it every time.

Chi Muyun blushed slightly, nodded and said, "It's fine when you grow up and meet the person you like the most."

Lu Qingming took a bite of gluten, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "Then I have to grow up quickly."

Lu Qingming's entire primary school days were spent in study.She was like a dry sponge, desperately absorbing the moisture she wouldn't have had the chance to get.

After the fourth grade, Lu Qingming began to learn to ride the bus by himself.At first Chi Muyun firmly disagreed, but later he couldn't bear Lu Qingming's pestering, so he reluctantly agreed.However, Chi Muyun asked the driver to follow her for a long time.The driver told Chi Muyun that Lu Qingming was walking alone on the road, with his hands in his pockets, his face was cold, he ignored anyone who spoke to him, and he was skilled at reading stop signs.Only then did Chi Muyun feel relieved that she would travel alone.

Most of the time, Lu Qingming arrives home earlier than Chi Muyun.She did most of the homework at school first, then went home to cook, and waited for Chi Muyun to finish the rest of the homework.

She found that doing housework and studying are sometimes connected, and the flexibility of doing housework is also applicable to learning.

This discovery made her happy for a long time.

Adolescent children already have a great need for sleep. Once Chi Muyun opened the door of the study and saw Lu Qingming sitting motionless, not even moving his pen.

Chi Muyun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried over to have a look.

It was found that the girl was just asleep.

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she picked up the girl and went to bed.From then on, she ordered Lu Qingming not to read too late.

Bai Dan has to worry about her daughter's playfulness all day long, but she is fine and worries that Lu Qingming is working too hard all day long.

In the summer of 2007, the capital was extremely hot, and Lu Qingming had just finished his primary school graduation exam.On this day, Chi Muyun had to work overtime, and Chi Muqiu happened to be fine, so he took Lu Qingming to her home.

Chi Muyun had just finished work and was about to go out for dinner with Jiang Bei when he received a call from Lu Qingming.

"...Auntie and Sister Xia Bing are fighting! She's also swearing!" The girl's voice was a little anxious, and the background sound was also noisy.

Chi Muyun said anxiously, "You stay in the room and don't come out, do you understand?"

"Yes! I see..." Lu Qingming agreed.

"Jiangbei, I'm sorry, I'll treat you to dinner another day." Chi Muyun said quickly.

"Well...it's okay. Do you want me to go home with you?" Jiang Bei was worried when he saw that her eyes were red.

Chi Muyun made an "ok" gesture, "No, you can go home."

Xia Bing's voice was heard through the door.Chi Muyun frowned, and quickly took out the key to open the door.

"...Do you think I don't know? I just don't want to argue with you! Otherwise, I would have broken up with you [-] times!"

Xia Bing's eyes were red, and she complained tearfully.Chi Muqiu sat on the sofa with his head down, without saying a word.When she heard the door open, she lifted her messy hair and looked up.

There were several red marks on her face, which looked like she had been beaten.

"What are you doing??" Chi Muyun stepped forward to separate the two of them, and said angrily, "Is there anything you can't talk about properly?"

Chi Muqiu lowered his head and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Xia Bing's eyes were red, tears were streaming down, and he said in a low voice, "You explain to me..."

Chi Muyun turned to look at the bedroom.She tried to open the bedroom door, but it was locked.

Chi Muqiu's clothes were disheveled, his shoulder-length hair was disheveled, and he was haggard.She stood up and handed over a bunch of keys, and murmured, "I locked Qingming inside..."

Chi Muyun frowned, took the key and quickly opened the door.

Lu Qingming squatted on the ground, drawing carelessly on the carpet with his fingers.The door clicked open, she turned her head and saw Chi Muyun, she immediately jumped up and ran over.

"Yun..." The girl put her arms around Chi Muyun and said aggrievedly, "Auntie locked me inside, I don't want them to fight, but I can't persuade them..."

"I'm also afraid of hurting Qingming..." Chi Muqiu said in a low voice, and carefully glanced at Xia Bing.

Xia Bing sat down on the sofa, trembling all over, like a balloon suddenly exploded, venting all his anger, leaving only grievance in his heart.

She might have sensed that something was wrong with Chi Muqiu.But because I like it so much, I like it so much that I am willing to be blind and believe in it unconditionally.

"What's the relationship between you and that man? It's too late for you to explain to me now." Xia Bing wiped away her tears, her voice astringent.She didn't care that Chi Muyun was still there, and threw the question to Chi Muqiu.

Chi Muqiu was silent for a while, "I have nothing to explain. If you are still willing to believe me..."

"I don't want to trust you anymore." Xia Bing suddenly stood up and interrupted her, took her bag and went out.

After several months of graduation, she never went home and was looking for a job in the capital.Wherever Chi Muqiu is, she will be there.

She knew that Chi Muqiu was different from her.The Chi family has many properties in the capital, and Chi Muqiu will be the heir of these properties in the future, and the distance between them will only grow further and further.

She had already started to wonder, would Chi Muqiu really just be content with an immature her?

As long as there is a slight crack in the armor of trust, it will face the consequences of falling apart.

"Wait!" Chi Muyun held her back and said anxiously, "Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"

Xia Bing paused, was silent for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Chi Muqiu.

Chi Muqiu looked at her, knowing that this was his last chance.

"I..." She lowered her eyes and struggled.

"I hope you believe me. I will never betray you, but... now I can only maintain a superficial relationship with him, and it won't be too long, I promise you! So you can..."

Chi Muqiu looked up at her.A gleam of light flashed in the opponent's eyes, and then went out again.

"When did you become like this? Do you think I'm a few years younger than you, so I don't know anything and can't see anything?" Xia Bing looked at her incredulously, "For the company, for the benefit... …you can sell your fame and even more, can you?"

"Then what am I?"

Xia Bing's tail trembled, her lips trembled, she turned around and quickly opened the door.

The cool night wind came in, but Chi Muqiu shivered.

"That's it. Everything I have here has been packed, and someone will come to move it tomorrow."

Xia Bing slammed down a sentence, and ran away from the door.

Chi Muyun failed to hold Xia Bing, turned around and frowned and asked Chi Muqiu, "What's going on? What kind of man?" Her expression became colder, "Xiaoqiu, you shouldn't be such a person..."

Chi Muqiu stood up and said irritably, "Take Qingming home, I want to be quiet for a while."

Chi Muyun took a deep breath, "Okay. I don't want to bother you, but I will definitely figure this out."

"Xiaolu, let's go."

Ling Suzhen and Chi Tianxiang were on a business trip abroad, and when they received a call from Chi Muyun in the middle of the night, they thought something had happened at home.

Ling Suzhen sighed, "I've talked to your sister a long time ago. In the past two years, she and Xing Shujun have gotten very close. I don't understand what she is thinking—your father and I don't like that child Xing Shujun very much. Go back to me. I have to talk about her, let’s just talk about love, why do we have to make a lot of fanfare, isn’t it just for Xing Shujun’s company to take advantage of it..."

"You should also try to persuade her, why is she so insane, she doesn't look like her at all..."

The Chi family is the only one in the hotel and catering industry circle in the capital who started from scratch. With Xing Shujun's relationship with Chi Muqiu, it is natural that someone will come to please him.

Chi Muyun responded with a few words, then hung up the phone.

Could it be that Chi Muqiu really wanted to change?Chi Muyun shook her head slightly, it's impossible, she knows what kind of person Xiao Qiu is.Especially when the other party is Xing Shujun, the possibility of changing his mind is even smaller.

But the authorities were confused, and Chi Muqiu didn't explain well, so Xia Bing was understandably angry.

A few days later, Xia Bing received a call from Chi Muqiu.

The other party seemed to be drunk, and he could smell the alcohol over the phone.

"Little...Xiao Xia..."

Xia Bing was silent for a while, and tightly clenched the phone with his fingers.She didn't even want to take it.

"I really miss... hiccup..." Chi Muqiu hiccupped, "I miss you..."

Xia Bing then asked, "Where are you?"

"Where... am I?" Chi Muqiu looked around blankly, "I'm...at our house."

Xia Bing felt a twinge of pain in his heart, "It's okay, I'll hang up."

She was so cruel that she really hung up, and then called Chi Muyun, asking her to go and see Chi Muqiu.

Chi Muyun hesitated for a moment, "If it's convenient for you..."

"I'm inconvenient... Goodbye, Sister Yun." Xia Bing hung up the phone hastily, as if she was afraid of what she would do.

Chi Muyun rushed over and found that Chi Muqiu was applying a hot towel to her face. If it wasn't for the strong smell of alcohol in the room, she would look as if she hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol.

"Did Xia Bing call you?" Chi Muqiu smiled.

Chi Muyun heaved a sigh of relief, mixed a glass of honey water for her, and silently put it by her hand.

When the new school year was about to start, Lu Qingming participated in a district-level figure skating competition and won the runner-up.Chi Muyun went to the scene to cheer her on and took many photos.

Bai Dan saw the small photo frame on Chi Muyun's desk, and asked curiously, "Is this little girl your sister? She's so beautiful!"

Chi Muyun nodded the photo frame, smiled and said, "It's not my sister, but a relative's child."

The background of the photo is the gate of a scenic spot in the capital.The girl is only a little shorter than Chi Muyun, her hair is tied into a high ponytail, her complexion is a healthy wheat color, her eyes are big and bright, and she looks very energetic, but she is a bit restrained when facing the camera, with her hands behind her back.Chi Muyun smiled faintly, and naturally embraced the girl's shoulders.

The photo frames are all placed on the desk, and the emotions are naturally extraordinary.Bai Dan looked at it for a long time and said, "It's really a genetic problem to be good-looking. One person is good-looking. Go and see her whole family. There must be no ugly one. The other day Xie Bin showed me his cousin's photo, oh, that young man is so cute." She's refreshed, she looks similar to Xie Bin..."

As soon as Bai Dan finished speaking, someone tapped his head with the rolled up document, "What are you talking about! The layout is finished?!"

Turning around to see Lin Wei, Bai Dan hummed lightly.She vaguely knew about the relationship between Lin Wei and Shi Xiaorou, the two bosses, so she intentionally or unintentionally acted like a baby in front of Lin Wei.

Since the boss likes women, he must be more forgiving towards female employees.

Lin Wei sternly reprimanded, "Today's schedule will be delayed if you can't finish the line, and your salary will be deducted. What's the matter, everyone is waiting for you?"

Then Bai Dan whispered, "I know."

Lin Wei glanced at Chi Muyun, and then thought about Xie Bin, the distribution manager—this Bai Dan really dared to think.

Xie Bin, who had just been named by Bai Dan, looked at the editorial office, hesitated for a moment, and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Xiaochi... Could you please print the document for me?" Xie Bin blushed and said, "Our printer is out of ink..."

"Well, okay, just send me an email." Chi Muyun looked at the manuscript on the screen, nodded and replied.

Xie Bin quickly thanked him.

Chi Muyun didn't speak, and quickly typed out the email after receiving it.

Xie Bin walked in again, lowered his head to sort out the documents, and asked after a long while with a blushing face, "Today...Xiao Liu is resigning. The old grandson and we would like to invite him to dinner to see him off. How about—you guys come too?"

Xie Bin didn't dare to look at Chi Muyun, and he spoke to everyone in the editorial department.

Bai Dan, who had been wilting just now, came alive again as if being watered, "I'm fine! I just asked my husband to pick up the child today..."

"Sister Yun, are you going?" Another colleague next to him was a newcomer, and asked Chi Muyun timidly.

"I won't go, there are children at home." Chi Muyun smiled.

"Hey, you mean the child in the photo?" Bai Dan said, "They're all big girls, and I'm not afraid of being at home, so why don't you come too, huh?"
