Take It Easy

Chapter 45



Chapter 44 – Advance And Retreat

Zhou Yi, look at you, you finally managed to kill yourself.

The peachy moon is beautiful and the breeze is blowing. This is the most comfortable month of the year, but Zhou Yi used “Sister” to put herself at the entrance of spring.

As a tablemate, although Mu Zipei doesn’t know anything, it may be true that “friends walk together for a lifetime, who is happy and who is a dog”, and her life has not been very easy recently.

Ever since she was proud of mathematics, the substitute teacher Luo Ming seized the opportunity to cue Mu Zipei in class, saying that it was to keep her in a state of tension at all times, lest the next test score be the same as a dog’s gnawing, and she would shrink a lot in mathematics.

After a period of time, Mu Zipei was tortured unspeakably, but fortunately, her grades have been steadily improving.

At the end of a quiz, Mu Zipei did well in the math test, and his total score directly squeezed into the top ten in the grade.

Luo Ming, who had been dragged down by her from the first year of high school to the present, turned around and generously spent five minutes in math class to praise her.

Mu Zipei lost herself in hearing it, folded up the math test papers and put them in the book like a decree, and said, “Lao Luo, don’t worry, with Xiao Jiu here, my math scores will be nailed above the average score.”

Lao Luo is everyone’s pet name for Luo Ming in private, no one dares to call him in front of him, Mu Zipei suddenly called out, and called out so skillfully, that the whole classroom almost got internal injuries from holding back their laughter.

Zhou Yi didn’t care. She lowered her head to write the test paper and said mercilessly, “I’m sorry, but the 21st century is not going to be arranged. While there are many witnesses, let’s officially break up today.”

Everyone laughed like crazy on the spot.

Wang Susu wiped away the tears from laughing, and forcibly grieved, “The CP I knocked on is just so be.”

Mu Zipei felt resentful, “Xiao Jiu, do you really want to break up with me? Really? I even brought you yogurt!”

Zhou Yi didn’t raise his head, “Keep the yoghurt, forget about people.”

Mu Zipei angrily punctured the packaging cover with a straw, threw it on Zhou Yi’s hand, turned around and ran to complain to Mu Qinglin on WeChat.

Mu Qinglin said: 【Expose her evil deeds! 】

Mu Zipei: [Okay! 】

【Ninja.jpg】

Mu Zipei took a peek at Luo Ming on the podium, seeing that he had already started his lecture and didn’t have time to pay attention to the situation below, so he carefully blocked the phone behind the book and pointed it at Zhou Yi quietly.

Zhou Yi noticed Mu Zipei’s small movements out of the corner of his eye, bit his straw and turned his head, “What are you doing?”

Mu Zipei pressed send, put the book down calmly and said, “The weather is really nice today.”

Zhou Yi glanced outside.

It was cloudy and could rain anytime.

“It’s not that one family doesn’t enter one family,” Zhou Yi suddenly believed.

The last time I went to the playground, Mu Qinglin also used the weather to interrupt me.

“…” How can everything contact her?

Zhou Yi squeezed the pen hard, and the yogurt in his mouth suddenly became tasteless.

When Mu Qinglin received the photo from Mu Zipei’s WeChat, he had just arrived at the unit and was sitting on the sofa in the public area drinking coffee.

Fu Xiao passed by and saw it, so he sat down opposite her and said, “What’s the big news today?”

She thought that Mu Qinglin was looking at the news app that had already been engraved into her DNA, so she didn’t think much of it. She turned her head and looked at her mobile phone on the table while talking. Unexpectedly, there was a little girl in the school uniform of the attached high school on the screen.

“Who is this little beauty?” Fu Xiao stared at Zhou Yi, who had a dull expression in the photo, and commented: “You don’t look very young, but your eyebrows and eyes are quite sensitive.”

Mu Qinglin looked down at the enlarged photo by Fu Xiao, and asked without answering, “How does it feel?”

Fu Xiao, “Pull…”

in one sentence.

It’s really hard to mess with Zhou Yi when he’s expressionless.

“Who the hell?” Fu Xiao asked curiously, “If I remember correctly, there should be only one high school student around you, Pepe.”

Mu Qinglin leaned back on the sofa, crossed her long legs, protected the coffee cup with one hand and said, “I met you in Hongmen Alley.”

“Red Gate Lane… I remembered! You asked Lao Wang for an “oral order” before, was it just to get a school status for this little beauty? ” Fu Xiao asked.

Mu Qinglin, “Hmm…”

“I asked Xiaohui to help me keep an eye on people in Hongmen Lane, and even spent dozens of hours on the axis. Is it because of her that I smashed Wang Ba’s gang to the bottom?”

“yes…”

Fu Xiao couldn’t help but sigh, “You are not so kind to Pepe.”

Mu Qinglin, “Pepe has plenty of people who treat her well.”

“What about this girl? You can’t be the only one.”

Don’t count, “There are a lot of people around her.”

“Then why are you in such a hurry? I heard from Lao Wang that you stayed outside his compound in the middle of the night and threatened him to call the girl’s school and the local education bureau.”

“It’s too much for Lao Wang to talk like that. I just stopped by for a few minutes.”

“Passing by?” Fu Xiao put his arms around his chest and said with a smile on his face, “Your house is bought in the new district, and the old Wang’s house is in a corner of the old district. During peak hours, it can be blocked for half an hour at a distance of 100 meters. How busy are you?” Are you going to pass by him?”

Before being blocked, Mu Qing took a sip of coffee tactically.

Fu Xiao saw through the essence, laughed “hmph”, stood up and said, “Fortunately, she is a woman, otherwise I suspect that you have other thoughts about her for being so attentive. Let’s go, wait for me to have dinner together at noon.”

Mu Qinglin didn’t speak, and silently listened to Fu Xiao’s footsteps walking away.

It took a long time before she moved the coffee cup she was sipping from her lips, and said in a low voice, “I really didn’t have any other thoughts before.”

At the end of the evening self-study, Mu Zipei woke up Zhou Yi who had just slept for less than five minutes, and asked her with a frown, “Xiao Jiu, why are you so sleepy lately? You study and sleep every night.”

Zhou Yi leaned against the back of the chair, tilted her head back, and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s a bit late to read at night.”

“What time is it?”

“…” Zhou Yi paused for a while before saying, “It’s about two o’clock.”

“Two o’clock!” Mu Zipei was surprised, “We have to get up at six o’clock, so you can only sleep for four hours a day?”

“almost…”

“How can this be enough!”

“It’s not enough. I left too many things, so I have to find a way to make up for it.” Zhou Yi said.

Mu Zipei was afraid, “You are second in the exams these few times, do you still need to make up for such a good result?”

“To…” Zhou Yi didn’t think about it, she hadn’t gotten the first place in the exam, she hadn’t become the kind of outstanding person in Mu Qinglin’s circle of friends, she hadn’t…

nothing much.

My sister has already called, so there is nothing to be reconciled to.

Zhou Yi laughed at himself, closed the review materials and said, “In order to let me go to school, your sister owes favors and drives overnight to help me transfer my student status. If I don’t do well in the exam, how can I be worthy of her?”

Mu Zipei raised her hand and pointed at Zhou Yi’s face, “Your words of hard work are printed on your face, how can you be sorry? Xiao Jiu, take it easy, my sister is easy to talk to.”

“Oh, let’s pretend that I want to go to A University.” The best university in the country.

“The second place score is enough for the test.” Mu Zipei pulled up the zipper of his schoolbag and said in a hurry, “Xiao Jiu, my mother is here, so I’m leaving first. You wait for my sister, she has a meeting today, and I won’t be able to do so until later.” come over.”

Zhou Yi made a “hmm”, pulled the chair forward, let Mu Zipei go out from behind, and then leaned on the back of the chair without speaking.

The attached middle school stipulates that boarding students have one more self-study period than day students. At this moment, there are still half of the boarding students in the classroom, and the silent air is filled with the rustling sound of pens rubbing against paper.

Zhou Yi didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now the more he tries to ignore it, the more he feels the boring voice in his ears makes him uncomfortable.

She casually swept the things on the table into her schoolbag and strode out of the classroom.

The light in the hallway was out again.

Zhou Yi stood at the door for a while, then took out the small LED flashlight Mu Qinglin gave her from her pocket.

The light in it was really bright and long enough to go from one end of the corridor to the other.

When Zhou Yi looked forward, he clearly saw that someone was walking cautiously because the light was broken, but he still put the light down very low, only letting it shine on the road under his feet.

“Zhou Yi, haven’t you left yet?” Zhu Li came up to see Zhou Yi and asked her casually.

Zhou Yi, “Go to the bathroom.”

“Well, go, don’t stay.”

“OK…”

Zhou Yi quickened his pace and walked into the bathroom, trying to wash off the writing on his face.

She slept later than she told Mu Zipei yesterday, and the alarm clock didn’t go off when she woke up. When Yang Ling found out that something was wrong, it was already much late when she went up to call her. She was in a hurry to go out, so she didn’t put her pen in her schoolbag , I had no choice but to go to the school canteen and buy a few pens for emergency.

The result is super difficult to use, where to write.

Now I took a closer look in the mirror and found that not only my face was covered with marks, but my hands and arms were also dark, and it took a long time to rub it to fade away a little.

Confused.

No one should pay attention to her face so late, or don’t wash it?

No, Mu Qinglin can definitely see it when the roof lights come on when getting in the car.

If you look carefully, you will find a few half-exposed “Yan” sandwiched in a pile of mathematical formulas.

At the school gate, Mu Qinglin looked at Zhou Yi who was wearing his seat belt and said, “I was dragged to a meeting temporarily, are you in a hurry?”

Zhou Yi, “No, it’s all about doing questions everywhere.”

“That’s good…” Mu Qinglin held the gear lever and was about to change gears. His eyes paused slightly when he passed Zhou Yi, who had already fastened his seat belt and was leaning on the seat and playing with his mobile phone.

Out of the corner of her eye, Zhou Yi could feel Mu Qinglin’s gaze, but she just lowered her head and flicked her phone as if nothing had happened.

Yes, she didn’t wash the words on her face, because she wanted to see how Mu Qinglin would react when she found out.

Definitely laugh.

She didn’t care, she felt that she was crazy because she had figured out everything, and after she figured it out, she wanted Mu Qinglin to owe him another time.

She remembered that on the day she entered school, Mu Qinglin pinched her face.

she said tender…

This should represent OK.

“Sleep on the table?” Mu Qing asked with a smile.

Zhou Yi pretended not to understand, “What?”

“The words are printed on my face.” Mu Qinglin sideways opened the storage box in front of Zhou Yi, pointed to the wet wipes inside and said, “Wipe…”

and then?

Mu Qinglin didn’t do anything to her, just sat back in his seat, looked at the rearview mirror seriously and said.

Zhou Yi’s heartbeat was very quiet. She took out the whole pack of wet wipes and put them on her lap, and wiped them again and again in the vanity mirror in the car.

The skin is painful and red after rubbing, and it still doesn’t feel very clean.

If I knew it earlier, I would squeeze some hand sanitizer in the bathroom and wash it off.

Zhou Yi thought regretfully.

It’s like a joke now, and although no one knows, she still feels ashamed.

Come to think of it, it’s kind of cheap.

In the past, when Mu Qing rubbed her head, she would be so angry that she would jump up and down, but now that Mu Qing doesn’t owe her any more, she wants her to touch her face again. She is really sick, seriously sick, so sick…

“Does it hurt to rub like this?” Mu Qinglin’s voice suddenly came from next to my ear.

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and clearly felt Mu Qinglin’s four fingers pressing on the side of her neck, and only her dry and soft thumb was gently stroking the side of her face.

At that moment, Zhou Yi’s calm heartbeat was jumping around in his chest, completely unable to hold back, he suddenly came back to his senses, as if being kicked down from a thousand miles high, the joy became dead silent, and the tranquility was also smashed to pieces.

What is she doing.

If you want to retreat, you should simply retreat.

If you can’t bear it, you should find a way to avoid it.

Repeatedly, never clean.

“It must hurt…” Zhou Yi turned his head away, rubbed his wrist against the place Mu Qinglin touched, and said, “If it’s 315 today, I’ll call and report it, what kind of bad pen, the written words In addition to test papers, everywhere.”

Mu Qinglin withdrew her hand, turned her gaze to the familiar road ahead, “Go back and wash later.”

Zhou Yi looked up, “How much longer…”

The word “to” was held back by Zhou Yi.

They are now on the side of the road outside Hongmen Lane.

Zhou Yi put the wipes back into the storage box, turned around and took the schoolbag from the back seat, and said, “I’m leaving…”

Mu Qinglin, “Hmm…”

When his feet hit the ground, Zhou Yi paused, turned his head to look at Mu Qinglin a few seconds later and said, “Sister, you don’t have to pick me up from now on.”

Mu Qinglin shook her left hand on the steering wheel and asked her, “What happened?”

Zhou Yi turned back and replied to her in the usual tone, “It’s nothing, there is a direct bus to the school gate, and you can use the campus card to take the school bus, which is very convenient.”

“Can you squeeze?” Mu Qinglin asked.

Zhou Yi got out of the car, bent over and stood outside and said, “Leave early and return late, when no one is around, it’s hard to squeeze.”

Mu Qinglin nodded, and said after a while, “Aren’t you afraid of the cold?”

“”Spring thunder scares all insects”, didn’t you say that? “Zhou Yi laughed, pointed to the dead branches sprouting above his head, and said: “Sister, you forgot, winter is over. “

Mu Qinglin looked up in the direction Zhou Yi pointed at.

The skylight was not open, so Mu Qinglin couldn’t see anything.

She had to look down at Zhou Yi again, and said to her calm gaze: “Be careful when you get in the car, and go out at least 20 minutes earlier.”

Zhou Yi, “Don’t worry, there is still some common sense.”

“Well, let’s go back.”

“it is good…”

The moment she turned around, the expression on Zhou Yi’s face disappeared completely, and she said to herself in her heart: Zhou Yi, look at you, you finally succeeded in killing yourself, isn’t it cool?

cool…

It was so cool that his mother wanted to stand on the street and drop a few golden beans.
