impure

Chapter 49 Lychee Flavored

Li Mu hasn't called home for a long time.After getting off the night shift, I was a little surprised to see a missed call from Li Ye.Guessing that he was probably still awake, he called back.

Li Ye picked it up quickly.On the other end of the phone was the anxiety and boredom of staying up all night, and when he heard Li Mu's voice, he raised his voice a lot, "You haven't slept yet?"

Li Mu smiled, "Aren't you still asleep?"

Li Ye was disdainful, and there was sarcasm in his tone, "I am because of the company... What about you? Because of someone else's company?"

Because he is in business by himself, Li Ye somewhat looks down on others' careers.Although this is not right, Li Ye, who was a little shorter than his younger brother since he was a child, is willing to seize this rare educational opportunity.

In his opinion, his stupid younger brother was simply caught in the door, leaving home thousands of miles away, and still working for others—or the kind who worked hard.

"...You called me just to mock me?" Li Mu was already very familiar with his brother's demeanor, and he said to the domineering president, "If it's to mock me, then I'll hang up first .”

"Wait." Li Ye stopped him, "I want to tell you that I'm getting married."

marry?

Li Mu was a little surprised, it seemed that this word had nothing to do with Li Ye.Yes, Li Ye is not ugly; yes, Li Ye also has a net worth of tens of millions; yes, he is still a dead straight man-but Li Ye is married?

Li Mu suddenly felt absurd.

"I met at the beginning of this year, and you know I don't have much time." Li Ye said, "My mother's friend's daughter is about my age."

"That's not small." Li Mu said with a smile.

"So what? Marriage is not the sooner the better." Li Ye defended his fiancée a little bit, "She just graduated with a Ph.D. and works as a teacher at the Polytechnic Institute over there."

"Then you will be outnumbered." Li Mu provoked him deliberately.Li Ye was not good at studying since he was a child, until he reluctantly went abroad to study in a pheasant university gilt-now he actually married a real university teacher, now it seems really ironic.

"What's the matter?" Li Ye smiled calmly, "I would prefer that she have her own career. Whether a person is successful or not is always compared with himself. Only a coward would care whether his wife is better than himself. "

The wedding is coming soon, and Li Ye is proud of the spring breeze.Li Mu smiled and listened to him recite the mother-in-law scriptures, but did not respond for a long time.Li Ye said enough, and said again: "What about you? How are you doing in Huadu?"

"...What can I do? It's still the same."

In Li Ye's words, "not sincere."

Li Mu laughed again.

It's not that I'm not close, I just don't know where to start.

Said he was in love?Said he liked a man?And this man is still his boss?

Everything is deviant, and everything is staggering enough.

It's better not to.After Li Ye found out, he would not be able to sleep again tonight.

"...is it good to be in love?" After a long while, Li Mu asked, "Li Ye, what is it like to be in love?"

"Ask me?" Li Ye smiled and yawned, "I can't tell. I just think... having her is enough. The air is sweet."

Li Mu thought this statement was funny. He was born in science and engineering, and he didn't believe in such idealistic statements. But when he rushed downstairs in the scorching heat with his wet hair Holding a large bag of lychees, his eyes sparkled - Li Mu suddenly felt the sweetness of the air.

"Do you want to eat litchi?" Yue Renge asked.

Li Mu nodded almost bewitched, "Sit upstairs."

Yue Renge didn't come to that hut for some time.Climbing all the way up, the sound of footsteps sank into the dust dully.Li Mu came down in a hurry, but only opened the door ajar, and a dim light leaked out in the darkness.Yue Renge couldn't help criticizing, "It's not safe."

In fact, there are no precious things. Thieves in this area have visited countless times, but they would never choose Li Mu's house.

The houses in the village in the city are described as dilapidated, so it's hard for Li Mu to live in a little bit of life.The curtains have been installed, and the ceiling lights have been replaced.It turns out that the light bulbs flickering like a haunted house have finally come to an end.The sofa cover was replaced with a new one - the body of the sofa is still broken, but it still looks like it.Yue Renge has already mastered the skill of controlling the sofa, but he can't sit for a long time, it will hurt his waist.

Li Mu brought him slippers, took the lychees, and hurriedly washed them in the kitchen.

Fresh, with leaves.Yue Renge is half the host, but also considers himself a guest, watching the small changes in the house with admiration.After a while, Li Mu's voice came from the kitchen, "You bought too much, shall we eat a little today?"

In fact, it is already the second day.They are people whose day and night are turned upside down, and even the concept of time is different from others.Yue Renge didn't correct him, but replied in the living room, "Okay."

After a while Li Mu came out with a big bowl.The bowl was huge, if it was used to hold rice, it would be enough for several people.There are always some strange things of unknown origin in Li Mu's house.Yue Renge sat down on the sofa, looking like a guest.Li Mu hesitated, and told him a cruel fact, "The air conditioner in the living room is broken."

He immediately added, "I still have a fan in my room."

Yue Renge smiled, "I don't mind."

So the two entered Li Mu's bedroom, where there was only a simple bed with new sheets, silk white, revealing the coolness of the gurgling stream.In the night market, I bargained to 128 for a set, but I still feel that this price is not good enough for housekeeping.Yue Renge looked at the set up mosquito net and smiled, "You're pretty good at living."

Li Mu felt a little embarrassed, "There are a lot of mosquitoes here, and there is no air conditioner, so it will be stuffy if the windows are not open." Then, he moved aside again and invited Yue Renge to sit down.

Yue Renge hesitated, and sat next to Li Mu.

Fresh lychees from Lingnan are about to ripen, which is the best time to eat them.Red skin, white flesh, sweet juice, only slightly sour in the dense taste.The electric fan was turned on, and the thin clothes were blown up, but it didn't feel hot.The two ate the lychees in silence, looked up and down, before saying a few words, their eyes were like silk, circled around, circled around again, touched, and separated again.

"I met Liang Chuan today, and chatted with him for a while." After a while, Yue Renge brought up the words from elsewhere, casually, "I chatted with him about the bar for a while."

Li Mu quietly peeled a lychee, took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste overflowed.He squinted his eyes like a docile cat.Yue Renge continued: "I have known Liang Chuan for a long time."

Li Mu listened quietly, Yue Renge also peeled a lychee, "I met him when I came to Huadu 11 years ago. At that time, he was just an apprentice, just like you, very young and a bit arrogant. I just opened Dionysus, and I have nothing. I was alone, and Liang Chuan ran out to hang out with me. After so many years, if not a brother, he is still a brother."

"...Is that so?" The sweet lychee tasted sour even after eating it.

"He's very good, he's an excellent bartender, but I've always hoped that he can go out on his own and make some achievements," Yue Renge said again, "I told him several times, but he didn't agree."

"Maybe he is very nostalgic." Li Mu felt a little empathy.

"Really?" Yue Renge looked at him, "You think so too?"

Almost no one talked about Liang Chuan with Li Mu.All I know is that he is legendary and has a big temper, and after being with him for a long time, I also know that he is very protective of the calf.Everyone is afraid of him, but also respects him. In Dionysia, he is the most prestigious one besides Yue Renge.

Time is a wonderful thing, it can gradually carve out the truest appearance of a person.Bad people may not be as mean as they first met; good people may not be as selfless as they really are.

Li Mu held the lychees in his hands, and didn't know whether to eat them or not.After a while, he nodded seriously, "Yes."

Yue Renge saw that he was naturally dumbfounded, smiled and patted Li Mu's head, "You are a good boy."

A large bowl of lychees was still in his arms, because of Yue Renge's sudden intimacy, Li Mu unconsciously stiffened his back.Only then did I realize how ambiguous their posture was: the lonely man and the widow shared a room, and a small lamp on the top illuminated the room with moonlight.The fan was blowing silently, and it came and went because it shook its head.The clothes bulged, then shrunk, and the hair was also messy, lingering on the side of the face, lingering on the forehead.

Yue Renge couldn't help raising his hand, and gently touched Li Mu's forehead.

His hands were cold, reminding Li Mu of the cold spring in the mountains in summer.The movement was silent, sliding down the cheeks.Li Mu swallowed nervously, intending to step back.But where can he retreat to this narrow space?Li Mu quickly recognized his current situation.

He is not back.

Yue Renge bullied him.

The wind seemed to pick up, driving the slender mosquito nets and swaying over their heads, Yue Renge wondered, what is the difference between that and the bride's white veil.This world is also white.The clothes are white, the sheets are white, and the people are white.

However, there is red in the white, the fruit is red, the lips are red, and the beating heart is also red.

On this cool summer night, the shabby and even dilapidated small room has no air conditioner and almost nothing.However, in the eyes of Yue Renge, Li Mu is no different from the bride on the wedding night——.

Yue Renge grabbed a lychee, peeled it off, and gently pressed it to Li Mu's lips.

The juice dripped down his fingers, Li Mu lowered his eyes, wanting to wipe Yue Renge's hands.But it was too late.He opened his mouth stupidly, letting the flesh slide into his tongue.This lychee was extraordinarily sweet, like a cloud of honey, as if it would turn into water in an instant, making him forget to chew and swallow.

Yue Renge lowered his head and held the fruit in his mouth, so their second kiss was lychee-flavored.

The big bowl had been overturned in the quilt at some point, and the bright red fruits were tumbling disorderly one by one, and next to the two bodies that were gradually sticking together, sweet flowers bloomed all night.
