Take It Easy

Chapter 81 – Snoop

I will be responsible for her future.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Yi was picked up from the bed by Mu Qinglin early in the morning and brought out of the house.

The two rested in the service area for half an hour, then headed east all the way, barely reaching Zhou Yi’s hometown before lunch.

It was snowing here, Zhou Yi shivered from the cold wind as soon as he got out of the car.

Mu Qinglin came over with the car keys on her hook, pulled up the hood of Zhou Yi’s down jacket and put it on her head, and asked, “Where can I eat nearby?”

Zhou Yi had one hand in her pocket, and Mu Qinglin held the other in her pocket, both sides were warm, she was reluctant to take it out, so she poked Mu Qinglin’s pocket slowly to show her the way, So she has no temper.

After dinner, the two went to the cemetery.

The moment he saw the photo of Zhou Yi’s parents, Mu Qinglin finally understood why Zhou Yi was so sure that they were not bad people.

In the photo, Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi are still very young. The former is sunny and handsome, while the latter is gentle and quiet. The picture of the two smiling together is like the sun in the snow, bright and quiet, and has nothing to do with the dark side of ungratefulness .

Zhou Yi was a rare and well-behaved girl today, talking to her parents about a lot of trivial things in life, for example, she has a bunch of crazy friends in Buddha and Demon who treat her sincerely, for example, she was admitted to a very good university and was liked by the teachers, and how she made friends with her friends. A beautiful and capable girlfriend is now in front of them.

And Zhou Yi didn’t mention the mystery behind these things worth showing off.

After leaving the cemetery, it was almost five o’clock, so it was a bit late to go back to Jiangping directly.

Zhou Yi played tricks on purpose, pressed Mu Qinglin’s pocket with his hand, and pushed her down, “Sister, do you want to visit the place where I used to live?”

Mu Qinglin didn’t care about the clothes she tore crookedly, she turned her head and asked, “The newspaper’s family courtyard?”

Zhou Yi, “Hmm…”

“Let’s go, show me where there is a banyan tree.” Mu Qinglin said.

Zhou Yi was puzzled, “What banyan tree?”

“The place where you used to be mischievous.” Mu Qinglin was staggered by Zhou Yi, and squeezed her fingers in her pocket hard to make her walk properly, “I don’t know why, but when I heard the family courtyard, I immediately had something in my mind. I drew a picture – the six-story building in the family courtyard is very old. You live on the second floor and like to open the windows. Outside the windows is a shady banyan tree, and there are summer cicadas that have just shed their shells hidden in the branches of the trees.

In the afternoon, the cicadas are so noisy that you can’t sleep. You angrily get up from the single bed placed against the wall, carry a bamboo pole, step on the window sill with your bare feet, and step onto the tree. You find a reliable tree branch and relax. Sit on it, knock left and right, but in the end, instead of knocking the cicada away, it knocked itself to sleep on the tree. “

After listening to Mu Qinglin’s description, Zhou Yi curled his lips, and said unhappily, “I’m still climbing trees, and I’m living under a fence, okay, how dare I die like that.”

Mu Qinglin smiled and said nothing, she knew that there were no such coincidences in the world, and when she thought of this scene, she probably just wanted to deceive herself with such a frankness of “youth does not know how to feel sad”. Carefree.

The cemetery was some way away from the family area of the newspaper office. When the two arrived, it was already dark.

As soon as Zhou Yi got out of the car, he dragged Mu Qinglin into an alley impatiently, and excitedly said, “This alley is the only way I go to and from school every day!”

Mu Qinglin looked at the straight alleyway in front of him, and his mind was full of Zhou Yi with his schoolbag on one shoulder, and his school uniform open all year round, running through here in a hurry. Although there is nothing serious about it, it is more lively and energetic.

“Why didn’t you leave?” Mu Qinglin turned around and asked Zhou Yi who had stopped suddenly.

The expression on Zhou Yi’s face became very pale, “I met Dai Lin here.”

Mu Qinglin held Zhou Yi’s hand tightly for a moment, turned around and walked to her side, and said, “Uncle Liu also jumped out from here?”

Zhou Yi was slightly stunned, and quickly suppressed the rainy emotions in his chest, looked up at the same low wall as before and said, “Yes, Uncle Liu is a monkey, and he loves to jump over walls. I don’t know if he is still here.”

Zhou Yi said later, his voice lowered.

Mu Qinglin looked at the low wall, looked at Zhou Yi, and had an idea in his mind, “Why don’t you try shouting?”

Zhou Yi slid back, “The second term of middle school has already passed! Let me shout now, do I still want to lose face?”

“Your face and my curiosity, you can only choose one of the two.”

“Your curiosity.” Zhou Yi was depressed, “Why are you so curious?”

Mu Qinglin said: “It’s not that I’m very curious, it’s because I met you that I became curious.”

This explanation made Zhou Yi unable to refute at all. She looked up at the mottled wall, and after a long time of mental preparation, she finally opened her mouth, “Liu! Uncle—”

The former word is bold and unrestrained, but the latter one is not as good as meowing. Mu Qinglin just laughed and fell on Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi straightened his waist and supported Mu Qinglin, thinking that he would have to be stabbed if he stretched his head or shrunk his head, so it would be better to die early and be reborn sooner.

So, she took a deep breath into her dantian cruelly, raised her head, and shouted at the top of her voice, “Uncle Liu!”

After shouting, Zhou Yi pulled Mu Qinglin who was overjoyed and ran away, leaving a series of hearty laughter in the silent alleyway.

The lingering sound was about to dissipate, and was continued by a probing male voice.

“Xiao Jiu?”

Zhou Yi’s running for his life stopped suddenly.

At this moment, the alley was so quiet that the sound of snowflakes piling up one by one could be heard.

Zhou Yi stood with his back for a while, then turned his head slowly.

Uncle Liu squatted on the top of the wall, wearing a familiar security uniform.

Zhou Yi blinked, suppressed the surging emotions in his chest, and said, “Uncle Liu, long time no see.”

Uncle Liu shook his head, quickly jumped off the wall and walked over.

He had a very ugly expression, walked up to Zhou Yi, slapped her on the arm without saying a word, and said loudly, “Where have you been for the past three years?! You didn’t go home, you didn’t go to school, The phone has become an empty number! Do you know that the stray dog who used to block the way to **** your breakfast was killed by a car last year because he ran into the trash can on the street because no one was feeding him!”

Zhou Yi rubbed his arms, his eyes were red with a smile, “Uncle, it hurts, your arm is almost broken.”

Uncle Liu didn’t hold back, and there were tears in his eyes, “It’s good to know it hurts, let’s see if you dare to run around in the future!”

Zhou Yi covered her arms and said nothing.

After a long time, Uncle Liu regained his strength, and his tone slowed down, “I thought I had misunderstood it, but I didn’t expect it to be you. You said you left a note and left without saying a word. Xiao Zhou and Xiao Ruan left You didn’t bring any money with you, so we were so worried. Uncle knew that you were holding back something in your heart at that time, alas, why did you say that Xiao Zhou and Xiao Ruan…”

“Uncle…” Zhou Yi interrupted with a smile, “I’m fine now, don’t mention the past.”

“Yes! Don’t mention it!” Uncle Liu looked Zhou Yi up and down, and said with satisfaction: “You are beautiful again. In my impression, you were still a child at that time, and you have become a big girl in the blink of an eye. .”

“Where do you live now? Are you still in school?” Uncle Liu asked.

Zhou Yi, “I live in Jiangping, I was admitted to Jiangping University last summer.”

“That’s a good school!” Uncle Liu was excited, “I heard from my eldest son that the graduates there are all hot spots, and major companies are scrambling to get them, so you don’t have to worry about finding a job!”

Zhou Yi nodded, “It seems to be…”

“This way I can rest assured, I kept mentioning it before.” Uncle Liu’s tone was suddenly melancholy.

Zhou Yi glanced at the other side of the wall, and asked hesitantly, “Are they all right?”

“Who? Oh, you say the old president and his wife.” Uncle Liu reacted slowly, “Not long after you left, they went abroad to accompany their children. The family just came back years ago, but…”

Zhou Yi, “But what?”

Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment, then said: “The old president passed away last fall, and my wife and he have been together for the rest of my life. I can’t let go of it, so I went with him. The son and daughter came back years ago, one is to let the two old people return to their roots, and the other is to deal with the old house.”

Zhou Yi’s heart was pinched hard, it was sore and painful.

Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi were promoted by the old president. Even if they didn’t want to leave the newspaper, the old president was still willing to help them take care of her, and he took care of her for more than ten years.

Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi didn’t have time to repay this love, but Zhou Yi didn’t know how to repay it.

When she was leaving, she said “thank you” for herself on the note, left “sorry” for Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi, and left their life savings to the two elders as compensation.

Repaying the favor with money is quite heartless, but at that time, everyone thought that Zhou Ming and Ruan Zhongyi were murderers, and Zhou Yi really had no face to face the two elders.

But if she had known that she would be fine one day, and that they would leave so hastily, she would not be so cruel that she would have to log off the phone.

For so many years and countless weekends, they really treated her like their own child. And she, apart from not wanting to cause trouble for her parents, took the initiative to amuse them and relieve their boredom, and she was always sincere.

“Xiao Jiu, the house you lived in for a while has been donated to the country, and you won’t even have a place to stay when you come back.” Uncle Liu couldn’t bear to say.

Zhou Yi came to her senses and felt more and more uncomfortable. She had lived in this city for seventeen years, but in the end she didn’t even have a place to go, and she didn’t know what she was doing in the previous years.

Uncle Liu’s words also swept across Mu Qinglin’s heart like a sharp blade. An hour ago, she was still imagining how carefree Zhou Yi was when she was a child. In a blink of an eye, she was homeless in this city.

Mu Qinglin held Zhou Yi’s hand tightly, comforting her silently.

Zhou Yi felt relieved at that second, “It’s okay, anyway, I’m just passing by in the future, it doesn’t matter if I have a place to stay. Uncle, I have a place to go now.”

Zhou Yi tilted his head and looked at Mu Qinglin, and laughed, “This sister has a spare room for me to live in, she treats me very well.”

Until now, Uncle Liu finally noticed Mu Qinglin who had been standing behind Zhou Yi. He warmly greeted Mu Qinglin and asked her, “Miss, what’s your name?”

Mu Qinglin, “The surname is Mu, Mu Qinglin.”

“Good name…” Uncle Liu looked at her and said earnestly, “Xiao Jiu will trouble you in the future. This child has a good personality, and he will enjoy himself wherever he goes. You can keep it as a pistachio.”

Mu Qinglin frowned imperceptibly, feeling very uncomfortable.

She hasn’t actually seen the Zhou Yi that Uncle Liu said, it’s a pity;

Uncle Liu’s words also seemed to be afraid that Zhou Yi would not be wanted, so he had to find something good from her as an attractive bargaining chip.

But Zhouyi is a living person with the right and consciousness to choose independently, rather than being arranged by anyone.

“Don’t worry, I will be responsible for Xiao Jiu’s future.” Mu Qinglin said firmly.

Zhou Yi’s heart softened, and he didn’t care about Uncle Liu’s eyes, and turned to look at Mu Qinglin, smiling as if he had fallen into a honey jar.

Someone on the intercom called Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu responded, and said to Zhou Yi: “Come to my uncle’s house for dinner tonight, and my uncle asked your aunt to buy more food.”

Zhou Yi declined, “We’ll go back to Jiangping later, we’ll talk about it next time.”

“When is the next time?” Uncle Liu asked.

Zhou Yi thought for a while, “I’m empty, I don’t know how to drive, so she has to bring me here.”

“That’s fine, hurry up next time, don’t come here until it’s dark like today.”

“it is good…”

Soon, Uncle Liu went back over the wall.

Zhou Yi turned and leaned against the wall, and said happily: “Sister, I found that you have a way of speaking, every time I listen to it, I am completely moved.”

“Is it so difficult to admit that I’m from the bottom of my heart?” Mu Qinglin leaned closer, bent slightly, and tilted his head to kiss Zhou Yiwan’s mouth.

Zhou Yi skillfully hugged her neck to cater to her, and the shadow of the two of them intertwined was stretched but blurred by the night.

After being intimate for a while, Mu Qinglin left Zhou Yi and said uncertainly, “You really decided to come back today?”

“No, I’m coaxing Uncle Liu.” Zhou Yi glanced narrowly at Mu Qinglin’s wrist, and said meaningfully: “Let’s go to a room to find excitement at night. I found a hotel on the Internet, and the room is that kind of Iron bed, it’s very convenient to tie something to the head of the bed.”

“What’s wrong?” Mu Qinglin put his hands in his pockets, turned around and left.

Zhou Yi chased after her and jumped on her back, “Really, that scene is very exciting just thinking about it.

Mu Qinglin was startled, and hurriedly hooked Zhou Yi’s hips and legs, and yelled angrily, “Aren’t you afraid that the two of you will fall together?!”

Zhou Yi put his arms around her neck and said calmly: “With you at the bottom, what am I afraid of?”

“Have you fed your conscience to the dog?”

“Well, hello.”

“Looking for a fight?”

“No, you are the only one who can strip me naked and stutter to my heart?”

“Please, those who are away from home, wear some clothes.”

“What to pretend, don’t you just like me without clothes?”

“…” The overlapping figures of the two slowly disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

At this time, the sunset had already ended, and there was only a gloomy and cool feeling in the alley.

At the entrance at the other end, Du Wenfei was lured in by a young man with his arms around his waist, and said mockingly: “I thought you were so capable, but you are just a **** couple.”
