Chapter 109 You Really Can't Go

Yue Renge hesitated, then nodded hesitantly.He also said: "It has not been cleaned for a long time, it is a bit messy."

Li Mu smiled, "It's okay."

The two were silent for a while, and after a while, Yue Renge sniffed and regained his spirits, "Then... why don't we go now."

Li Mu thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay."

Yue Renge drove an Audi today, Li Mu sat in the passenger seat after a long absence, and remained silent for a long time.After the car drove out, he asked, "Where's the Porsche from before?"

"Sold." Yue Renge said, "It has been open for a long time."

"...I thought you liked it very much." Li Mu said.

Yue Renge glanced at him, and after a while, "I like it, but I need money now."

The two were silent for a while.

Yue Renge's situation is far beyond Li Mu's imagination.Until now, Li Mu still doesn't know how long Yue Renge can last.The news on the mobile phone is constantly being updated. Just now, the latest announcement required Huadu to be closed.

After Li Mu read the news, Yue Renge smiled faintly, "You really can't leave now."

"Please allow me to stay in the bar for a while longer." Li Mu said.

Yue Renge sighed, but didn't speak.

Of course you can stay in a bar for as long as you want.It's just that what is the meaning here, Yue Renge still can't find the result.

After driving into the community, Li Mu saw that a cordon had begun to surround the perimeter of the community.

"Don't be nervous, the property is doing it, and now they are strictly controlling access." Yue Renge said, "The security guards know you, don't worry."

Nothing seems to have changed, and everything seems to have changed.Li Mu took a deep breath, and felt a murderous air through the mask. The evergreen plants in the courtyard of the community were naturally still green with leaves, but for some reason, there was no vitality at all.

With an indifferent expression on his face, Yue Renge parked the car.Only then did Li Mu realize that there were not many cars in the garage below.Just as he was about to ask, he found that Yue Renge had gotten off the car and was waiting for him not far away, so he quickly opened the car door and chased after him.

Going home one after the other like this, the scene seems familiar, but it is no longer the same as before.The elevator room, which was originally bright, seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and only two leisurely figures were reflected.

Yue Renge pressed the floor, and suddenly said, "I rented the storage room downstairs, and I returned it."

Li Mu nodded, "Okay."

"Everything is kept at home, so it will be a little messy."

Li Mu stopped talking.

In fact, Yue Renge didn't need to remind himself over and over again.Li Mu followed Yue Renge, and suddenly felt how he had become so small now.Thin and delicate, it can be lifted almost with one hand.He followed into Yue Renge's house, the curtains were closed, only a faint light came through.The voice-activated light in the entrance came on with a "snap", covering their heads in a faint green way.

Li Mu changed his shoes at the door, saw Yue Renge swaying into the living room, and pulled the curtains violently.The thin sunlight shone in, like a layer of inferior butter.Standing in the porch, he only dared to look carefully, not taking half a step.

Yue Renge wasn't exaggerating, it was indeed messy.All the wine from the storage room downstairs was brought in, and a corner was specially set up in the living room to store these fine wines from all over the world.Wine is a delicate thing, and there is a strict way to preserve it. It can be seen that Yue Renge treasures them, but there are so many things that it seems a bit complicated.

There were still plastic bags for takeaway and disposable tableware on the coffee table. Magazines and newspapers were randomly piled aside, and it seemed that they hadn’t been cleaned up for some days.Yue Renge beckoned him into the room, Li Mu casually touched the top of the shoe cabinet, there was a layer of light dust.

Yue Renge is such a clean person, this is almost unimaginable in his family.

Li Mu felt a little choked up, and saw Yueren Singer hurriedly tidy up the sofa and coffee table, then turned around and took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator.

"Sorry, the kettle at home is broken." Yue Renge smiled, "This is the only thing left."

It was the first time Li Mu saw Yue Renge drinking beer since they met.

It's not that beer is not high-end, but that Yue Renge has never touched it before, and he has no habit of drinking beer.Li Mu has a feeling that everything is slowly collapsing. The former Yue Renge seems to be gone forever, and now there is another person in front of him.

With a "pop", Yue Renge opened the beer, and the ice-cold beer foam came up.He handed the jar to Li Mu, but he refused to drink it himself.He looked at Li Mu's ever-changing expression, and smiled lightly, "I feel a little surprised, right?"

Li Mu originally thought that the great changes in the vicissitudes of life would make people shocked, but he didn't know that the transfer of such small details would also make people deeply moved.

In the days when he was away, Yue Renge was becoming another person he didn't know well at an alarming rate.

...Or, he never really knew each other at all.

"Actually, a lot of people advised me that it would be good to make Dionysy well, and I don't have to bother with a new store." Yue Renge didn't sit on the sofa, but sat on the floor with his legs crossed, as casually as if on his own vineyard.He raised his head slightly, as if looking at the ceiling, and what he saw seemed to be the answer he was looking for.Li Mu also followed his line of sight to look, but what he saw was a vast expanse of whiteness.

"Opening a new store is much more difficult than I imagined. Although Dionysia is in the lead, it is still difficult. In the beginning, the monthly loss was in the tens of thousands, not counting the investment cost," said Yue Ren. Ge reached out and stroked the bangs hanging on his forehead, "Actually, at one point, I wanted to give up."

"But I'm not reconciled," Yue Renge raised his head again, looking at Li Mu, "I'm not reconciled, you know? I have invested so much, so much time, energy, and so much hope, I hope that Thyme can also stand up , running, even stronger than Dionysia."

He sighed, "I thought I did."

People are like this, especially when they have achieved more success, they will inevitably develop some unrealistic self-confidence, thinking that success will be his.But when people start to be complacent, the cruel reality will start to slap them in the face. In the face of these force majeure, how powerless and insignificant are human beings-after years or even decades of hard work, in an instant , easily destroyed at once.

"I asked a friend to inquire about it. This flu is not trivial, and it is likely to last for a long time. It is very difficult to go back to the past in the short term. The operating costs of the two stores are very high. If it continues like this, it will be very difficult. might die together."

"Didn't you already sell a Porsche..." Li Mu was surprised.

"Silly boy, what is a Porsche, it's only enough to last two stores for a month." Yue Renge shook his head and smiled, "As long as the store is not open and can't make any money, my Porsche will be given to the landlord for nothing. "

Although Li Mu has never done business himself, he has been exposed to it for so many years and knows the high operating costs and the difficulty of making a living.

But what else could he say?He can't do anything.The sunlight flowed wearily in the room, like a pool of stagnant water.The two stayed silently without saying anything.It seems that everything is superfluous: the comfort is too thin, and the actual action is very limited.

In the face of the torrent of the times, they are just a drop in the ocean; under the great suffering, they are all tiny ants.

After a while, Li Mu stood up, "Let me go cook you a meal."

Yue Renge looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock.He struggled to stand up, "There's nothing at home..."

"Let me check." Li Mu put his hand on his shoulder, "did you eat properly during my absence?"

Yue Renge was a little embarrassed, and confessed first, "...I always order takeaway."

People who are good at taking care of others are not so good at taking care of themselves.Yue Renge's kitchen is simply lackluster.Li Mu glanced at the almost empty countertop, opened the refrigerator, there were only a few eggs, and a handful of shallots that were considered fresh.

Oh, by the way, and a small piece of sausage.Other than that, nothing else.

"Where's the staple food? Don't you have any rice or noodles?" Li Mu frowned, wondering what kind of life this guy has made of his life?Yue Renge laughed, "There's still a small half bag of rice, I don't know how long it's been."

Fortunately, the rice was not broken.

"Eating takeout all the time is not good for your health." Li Mu taught him, "Even if you are alone, you should eat well."

Yue Renge smiled, "I'm alone, how can I have the time to eat?"

Li Mu pursed his lower lip and started washing rice.

Although the mood is heavy, but the meal must be eaten.Li Mu also asked the supermarket to bring over an order, and it was really just an order. Now the supermarket is in short supply, and those meat, eggs, and milk have long been robbed.A little food is fine, Li Mu bought some tofu and clams to cook the soup.

Seeing Li Mu busy in the kitchen, Yue Renge felt mixed feelings.It seemed that everything that should be said had been said, and it seemed that nothing had been said.Li Mu cleaned the rice and put it into the pot, and then began to process the side dishes. This cold little residence, because of Li Mu's arrival, had some rare fireworks.

Egg fried rice, a small plate of hot vegetables, tofu and clam soup.It is a very simple and homely dish.Yue Renge helped wipe the dining table, and found the placemat that hadn't been used for a long time.Several dishes are served in small celadon bowls just found out, which look bright and bright.

Yue Renge held the chopsticks and didn't move for a long time.Li Mu also opened the can of beer he took out, and put it next to Yue Ren singer.Li Mu said with some embarrassment: "There are no other drinks, so let's make it easy."

Yue Renge didn't raise his head for a long time.

After a while, a drop of water just fell on the back of Yue Renge's hand.

"...What's wrong?" Li Mu was a little surprised, and hurriedly helped him get a tissue.Yue Renge shook his head, "No..."

"I remember I didn't put any onions." Li Mu said solemnly, gently brushing the tissue to Yue Renge's cheek, "Raise your head a little bit."

Yue Renge obeyed obediently.Eyelashes were wet with tears and slightly blurred together.The emerald green eyes looked like gems washed by the spring rain. Because of shyness, maybe also because of shame, those eyes glanced aside unnaturally. Li Mu gently wiped Yue Renge's tears with a tissue.

The tissue slid onto Yue Renge's cheek, paused, and took it away restrainedly.

Yue Renge raised his eyes, and saw himself in the other's dark eyes.

"Don't cry." Li Mu carefully patted Yue Renge's head, "Everything will be fine, everything will be fine."

Yue Renge buried his face on Li Mu's shoulder: "I thought you would never come back again."
