"Boss, has the book I asked for arrived?" A woman's voice was soft and soft, and then a tall woman walked in.
Mu Lan stared blankly at the woman in front of her, and the book in her hand fell. She stepped back, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.
Lin Yuchen hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said anxiously, "Mu Lan, how are you? Are your feet okay?"
Before they came out, Yanxi specially told him to take good care of Mu Lan, especially her feet, which could neither squat nor bend. It was already very difficult to walk now, and there must be no accidents.
"It's okay." Mu Lan only felt a sharp pain in her knees. She turned pale from the pain and covered her knees with one hand in an attempt to relieve her pain.
"Little girl, are you okay?" The boss also looked very nervous. After all, he fell in his store. He hurriedly walked forward and together with Lin Yuchen, helped Mu Lan to the sofa aside and let her sit down.
.
The woman seemed to be shocked by this sudden change. She turned around and looked at Mu Lan, who was leaning on the sofa. Her eyes turned to her feet, she frowned slightly and walked over.
"How about it? Can you still move your feet?" Lin Yuchen frowned tightly. He had been with Mu Lan these past few months and watched how she persisted in physical therapy. He knew that she could walk in such a short time.
It was so difficult, and he was really worried if her knee was injured again.
"Much better." She straightened her legs, which relieved a lot of pain. Mu Lan raised her head and looked at Lin Yuchen, and smiled reluctantly, "Don't worry, it's nothing."
The woman finally couldn't help but walked forward, squatted down, and covered Mu Lan's knees with her hands, "Your knees are injured, so you can't walk like this."
Mu Lan clenched her fists and tried to look calm. Lin Yuchen noticed Mu Lan's strange behavior and stood aside with a frown on his face, saying nothing.
"I know how to massage a little and give you a massage. Maybe it won't hurt so much." The woman smiled softly again, put the bag in her hand aside, gently took off Mu Lan's shoes, and put her hands on her hands.
Putting his feet flat on the sofa, he gently stroked her knees with his hands, moving back and forth on her knees gently, while saying, "Looking at you, you should have undergone physical therapy for a period of time, but if you can cooperate,
Gentle massage will have certain benefits for your recovery."
Mu Lan didn't say a word, just stared blankly at the woman sitting in front of her, watching her seriously lowering her head to massage her feet, feeling the warmth of her palms and the delicate skin, she actually
Can't say a word.
"Are you feeling better?" The woman didn't stop what she was doing. She raised her head and looked at Mu Lan and asked her with a smile, her eyes flashing with distress.
"Well, it's much better, thank you." Mu Lan finally found her voice, her eyes were slightly red, and no words could describe how she felt now. This woman was the mother she had longed for for ten years.
The first time they met, she actually spoke to her in such a gentle tone. She smiled lightly and massaged her. She was really like a kind mother, easing the pain of her child.
However, she didn't know that the person in front of her was her daughter.
"Your knee is seriously injured. Be careful in the future and don't fall." The woman looked at Mu Lan's feet and frowned slightly, as if thinking about why she was so seriously injured, and she could tell at a glance the wound on her knee.
It can be seen that it was a gunshot wound. Who could be so cruel and deal such a heavy blow to such a young girl?
"Yes." Mu Lan nodded, finally regained her composure, and said softly, "Thank you."
The woman stood up with a faint smile and turned around to leave, but Mu Lan grabbed her sleeve and looked at her doubtfully.
"My name is Mu Lan, Watanabe Mu Lan." She knew that she had not returned to Watanabe Club yet, but she already knew her life experience, so she could finally add a surname to her name. She stared closely.
The woman in front of me wanted to see if she would feel strange when she heard this last name, but found that she could not see anything.
"Go home early." Something flashed in the woman's eyes, and she immediately returned to her usual calmness. She took the book the boss brought her and left the bookstore.
Mu Lan, on the other hand, looked deeply at the woman's back, her eyes fixed on her, and did not move for a long time.
"Mu Lan, what's wrong?" Lin Yuchen saw something strange about Mu Lan. He was even sure that Mu Lan must know that woman, but why didn't Mu Lan say anything in the end? But if they didn't know each other, why did Mu Lan
When looking at her back, her eyes would be so sad, as if she were an abandoned kitten, which made people feel distressed.
Shaking her head and finally looking away, Mu Lan bit her lower lip. One day, they would meet again.
"Just these two." Pointing to the books that fell on the ground, Lin Yuchen nodded, immediately went over to pay, and then helped Mu Lan walk to the car outside the bookstore.
"Why so fast?" George looked at the two people strangely. They had just gone in for a while, and why did they come out? He frowned and looked at Mu Lan's pale face, "Are you okay? You look so bad?"
"I just fell." Lin Yuchen blamed himself. It was because he failed to take good care of her that she fell.
"Why are you so careless?" George looked at Lin Yuchen reproachfully and asked him to take good care of Mu Lan. Why did he let her fall?
Mu Lan smiled and spoke for Lin Yuchen, "Brother George, I don't blame Yuchen, it's my own fault."
"Let's go back and let Yan Xi take a look before we talk." As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the sports car sped out with a whoosh and drove towards Qiu's house.
Along the way, Mu Lan held the book in her arms tightly, recalling the scene just now in her mind. She wanted to ask if she had a daughter, but she was more afraid of hearing a negative answer, so she hesitated.
, and let the opportunity go.
Lin Yuchen looked at Mu Lan's unpredictable expression worriedly. He always felt that Mu Lan was abnormal because of the woman just now, but he didn't remember that he had seen that woman, so why was Mu Lan's reaction so strange? The more he thought about it,
More and more confused.
"She is my mommy." After returning to the room, Mu Lan suddenly said to Lin Yuchen.
Lin Yuchen's eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment. He remembered that he had heard that Mu Lan grew up in an orphanage. How could a mother suddenly appear now?
"I just wanted to ask her if she still remembers my daughter." Mu Lan put the book on the bed and sighed self-deprecatingly, "But I didn't dare, I actually didn't dare to ask her why she abandoned her.
I."
Lin Yuchen looked at Mu Lan who was smiling bitterly, and didn't know how to comfort her. Along the way, he saw her being badly injured. He thought that she had hit rock bottom, and at least she would get better in the future, but he didn't expect that the pain would never end.
Before she was far away, he slowly approached her and asked her to lean against him. Seeing her stubborn face filled with tears and unwilling to cry, he couldn't help but said, "Mu Lan, why do you have to live so hard for yourself?"
?No one asks you to do your best. You can be willful, act coquettishly, or shed tears. You can question her, you can question Dongfang Yan, and ask them why they gave up on you."
Mu Lan was slightly shocked when she heard Dongfang Yan's name, but remained silent. This name was already a wound in her heart that would never recover.
"They have failed you. You can cry and curse. Why should you put all the responsibility on yourself? You are not wrong. You have never been wrong. The fault is those who hurt you. Do you understand?" Lin
Yu Chen has always been gentle, and rarely speaks to Mu Lan in such a harsh tone. He can accompany her in pain and sorrow, but he does not want her to live so hard. He remembers her in the past, laughing wantonly, like a ray of sunshine.
, and now she is as cold as a cold moon.
"You know what? I dare not, I dare not seriously believe that others will really be kind to me, because everyone who is kind to me will leave me behind in the end." Mu Lan buried her head in Lin Yuchen's arms.
There, tears wet his front. After so many days, she finally cried seriously, "What did I do wrong? Why did you treat me like this? I really don't know. What did I do?"
Wrong."
What Mu Lan needs is just a pure love, without interests or impurities, just simple love. Too many people passed by her, clearly promising to work hard and run together, but in the end they left her alone.
From where she was, she could only watch others running forward, while she herself was hesitant and confused.
Lin Yuchen didn't say anything else. He knew that no amount of words could comfort her now. Maybe what she needed at this time was just a listener and a warm hug, and he could give her all of these. He just hoped that after crying
She can continue to live her life seriously.
Sometimes, life does give us countless pains. Too many times we think we are exhausted. When we look back a long time later, we find that it turns out that just taking one step is enough. But too many times, we
I was so cowardly that I didn't dare to do anything, I could only stand there, hesitant and sad.
