Chapter 106 Long time no see
Chapter 106 Long time no see
Ms. Ye Lin has supernatural powers. When Li Mu first arrived at the airport, she chased after her on the phone.
"Where did you go? Going out to drink?"
Li Mu just parked the car, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Then you come back to me now."
"why?"
"No reason," said the mother, "Li Mu, let me talk to your friend."
Li Mu didn't know what kind of wind his mother was having, so he ignored her, planning to kill her first and then play, "It's okay, I'll go home after a while."
"Li Mu!" Ye Lin called his name in a hurry, "Do you want to play with me, kid? You bought a plane ticket to Huadu!"
Only then did Li Mu remember that he used the credit card sub-card his mother gave him when he was studying to buy the plane ticket.My mother knows exactly what he bought and how much he spent.He was careless in his heart, and his mother's voice came from the phone again.
"You don't know what's going on in Huadu now? What are you doing there now?"
"...I have something to do." Li Mu choked up for a long time and managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"What can you do! Didn't you quit your job early? What are you doing now? Don't tell me you're going to work. What else is there to do now!"
"Mom, I really have something to do." Li Mu was a little tired of coping.It had been like this for a long time, and his mother was always aggressive, leaving him with no strength to fight back.
It's more compassionate than powerless.It is not easy for a woman to pull three children. It is not easy to spell out such a life.The Li family's children, except for the youngest one, are actually precocious.At Li Muchang's age, he only had two tantrums with his mother.
Once for employment and once for the present.
But it's capricious enough.
"Anyway, you are not allowed to go, you come back to me." His mother gave him an ultimatum, "If you don't obey, I will suspend your card. You didn't bring anything, and you are still begging there."
"Then just beg for food." Li Mu's temper also turned up, and he was most annoyed by such threats, "Don't you want to know why I have to go there? Okay, I will tell you."
"I'm in love, Mom. I love him very much, very much. I've never loved someone like this before." Li Mu told her word by word, in a hurry, his voice trembling, "He is in Huadu, I must go find him now."
"When did you..." Ye Lin was a little surprised, "You never..."
Li Mu's words came rushing up, unstoppable, and burst out with frantic heartbeats, "Yes, I never told you. Because I dare not! I'm afraid you will be sad!"
Ye Lin was even more surprised, "What are you talking about? What did you do to make me sad? Did you kill and set fire?"
Li Mu smiled, maybe this matter is more serious than murder and arson in the eyes of many people. "Mom, don't you want to know? Let me tell you now. I'm in love with a man, eight years older than me. Now that you know, are you satisfied?!"
After Li Mu finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaning on the car seat and panting heavily.The windshield was polished brightly, and Li Mu could clearly see his own face in the glass.
It was a slightly tired face that hadn't slept well.However, due to recuperating at home for a while, Li Mu is still much healthier than when he first came back.Ye Lin didn't call again, maybe because she was frightened.Li Mu sighed in frustration, and lay down on the steering wheel.A short horn sounded from behind, and he looked back to see a car impatiently urging him to leave.
Li Mu stepped aside and stopped at the correct position.He froze for a moment, locked the car, took out the mask he had just bought from the pharmacy from his pocket, and put it on for himself.
The phone buzzed in his pocket, but Li Mu ignored it.I didn't read my mother's text message until I got on the plane and was about to turn off the phone.
——If you insist on going, I can't stop you.But you have to bring your clothes. Later, I will ask Li Juan to collect some clothes for you and send them to you.If you want anything else, tell her.
Li Mu watched it again, and it became difficult to breathe under the mask.The passenger sitting by the window politely asked Li Mu to make way, but Li Mu turned his head, his nose was sore, and there was a small wet spot on the purple velvet cushion.
From Andu to Huadu, from north to south, from west to east, Li Mu never seriously calculated the time spent on the road.After all, he was young, and it would be over after a full sleep, but not now, now his mind is full of pretense, and he can't sleep.
"Young man," the old man next to him patted Li Mu's arm, pointed to the reading light on the top, "don't mind if I turn it off."
Li Mu came back to his senses and even said it was okay.It was late, and the rows of reading lights were dimmed.Occasionally, one or two lights were still on, and the plane was passing through a short section of turbulent airflow, with slight tremors.Li Mu recalled that when he was 15 years old, he took a plane for the first time. At that time, the family situation just got better, and his mother sent him to study abroad.
Before that, Li Mu had been to the capital as far as he could.It was the furthest place in the world he felt.He clearly remembered that the journey was very long.With a lot of luggage alone, he first flew to Shanghai, and then transferred to the other side of the ocean.
He still remembers that the plane also experienced a short period of such turbulent airflow at that time.He had read a lot of reports about plane crashes before, and knew that once such a tragedy happened, the chance of survival was almost zero.He was terrified in the face of this series of bumps, but the passengers were used to it, so he could only suppress a small exclamation, and swallowed all the fear in his stomach.
He even thought about it, if he really died in such a flight accident, the pocket money he saved would be left to his mother.Although not much, it is also a sum of money.With the comfort of money, maybe she will be less sad.
Thinking of this, Li Mu smiled.But the smile was short-lived. After a while, the reading light on the top was turned on again.In a haze, Li Mu saw the old man beside him handing over a tissue, "Wipe it off."
Li Mu took it in embarrassment, and heard the old man say, "You miss home, don't you? I, like you, came out very early."
He submerged his face in the tissue, and after a while, he murmured, "Well, I really want to."
"Don't cry," the old man sighed, "I'll see them soon, right?"
It was already late at night when Li Mu arrived in Huadu.After leaving the airport, I don't know if it was because of the cold weather, or Huadu was really affected by the flu, or it was time to rest, in short, it was extremely quiet.Li Mu waited for a long time before he got a car. When he took his seat, the driver glanced at the destination, "Go to Bar Street? The bars are closed now."
"...just go and have a look."
The driver gave him a suspicious look, but still followed the navigation.
Li Mu lowered the car window and let the wind blow into the car. "The bars here are not open now." The driver had nothing to say, "You were also rejected there... You just came from another place?"
"Well," Li Mu nodded, "You picked me up at the airport."
"Yeah," the driver smiled, "Come here for a tour? You are not in time. It would be fun if it was a few months earlier! Besides, our bars here are one of the best! Have you ever heard of Dionysus? ?”
Li Mu smiled and said, "You know Dionys too?"
"Of course," the driver said, "I said brother, if you go to Bar Street, you must go to Dionys! Asia's 1 Best Bars! No.[-]!" The guy shook his head, "Really, oh yes , and Thyme, also opened by the same owner. Hey, baijiu cocktail... Do you drink baijiu? Anyway, the taste is really good..."
Li Mu nodded, "It seems that you like drinking very much."
"Of course, it would be better if we could drink at home." The driver smiled. "We drink and don't drive, and we don't drink while driving. Now that the bar is closed, where do we go for entertainment? Go to the supermarket to buy Erguotou to relieve boredom? The standard of living has plummeted!"
Li Mu stopped talking to him.
The car stopped on the street of the bar, and Li Mu got out of the car.As the driver said, it is not open here.He raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was just past closing time.The whole street was solemn and quiet, with no trace of hustle and bustle at all.He took two steps and stepped on the fragile leaves that had just fallen, making a crunching sound.Unconsciously, Li Mu strolled to Dionysus and stopped.It is not open.
A notice was posted on the door: Affected by the flu, our store will be closed from now on.The paper was still fresh, and Li Mu saw that it was signed three days ago.
The bar street, which was once colorful, feasting, singing and dancing, suddenly fell silent.Standing on the empty street, Li Mu looked at the dusty tables and chairs in the front yard; looked at the once shining lights of various colors, looked at the untouched microphones and music stands.
Only a small convenience store at the end of Bar Street is still stubbornly lit.
Li Mu never paid attention to it, nor did he know the meaning of its existence.But now, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette and hold a small sacrifice on this desolate street that was once a singing and dancing venue.
He pushed open the door and walked in.
The warm current in the store rushed to Li Mu's face, and Li Mu coughed subconsciously, which startled the clerk.
"I'm wearing a mask." Li Mu also took a step back, "Don't worry."
The clerk looked at him warily, and Li Mu looked up at the shelf, "I want a box of Marlboro."
"... Another box of chewing gum." He glanced at the store, where there were still tea eggs boiled in the electric pot, "Here are three tea eggs."
"We can't dine in here." The clerk said.
"...It's okay, I'll take it away."
At this time, to be honest, Li Mu himself didn't know where to go.He has nowhere to go here, he is just a stranger who ran over because of a sudden brain fever.
He came back for Yue Renge.
But people are already here, but they don't have the courage to contact each other.Even if we meet, what can we say?There is no longer any connection between them.
Li Mu couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, and the clerk waved the packaged food and cigarettes in front of him.Li Mu quickly took out his phone and asked the other party to pay.
The door of the convenience store was pushed open, accompanied by the sound of ding ding dong dong. "Welcome -" Li Mu followed the voice and looked over. The other party was wearing a thick light yellow coat, and the fluffy hat was taken off, revealing a thin face.
The man was also stunned.Those emerald eyes blinked, and they recognized each other through the masks.
Li Mu's heart beat wildly, "...Long time no see."
Yue Renge recovered from his daze, nodded to Li Mu, and said to the boss, "Boss, give me a box of Marlboro, and a box of chewing gum."
He paused again, and said, "I won't eat tea eggs today, give me some Oden."
--------The author says------------
Cat Mom: I saw some friends’ comments, so let me just say a few words.Everyone may think that Li Mu is very dog-licking, which is very incomprehensible, but in fact, for Li Mu, self-esteem is not the most important thing for him (although he is quite cool when he is not familiar with him).For example, he discovered at the earliest time that if you want to learn how to mix wine, you must first serve softly, and you can also do things like cleaning toilets (he is a rich second generation with a high degree of education, dear).When they were arguing, Li Mu was angry because Yue Renge didn't give him a chance to display his talent, not anything else.What he loves most is his industry, and the freshness of always learning something when he is with Mr. Yue, which is the foundation of his love.On the contrary, Mr. Yue is the one with the strongest self-esteem, he is smiling on the surface, but he is crazy (?) in his heart.I hope this explanation can be accepted by everyone~ Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it.
