The cruise ship in front of us is huge. Viewed from across the shore, every window is as big as a matchbox, and the figures on the ship are even more insignificant.
Even if Ye Xi's room happened to be facing this direction, and even if Ye Xiren was standing on the balcony, Mu Qian might not be able to see her, but even so, she still stood there not wanting to leave.
There were still two hours left before leaving the ship. Qi Yuan looked at his watch, walked to Mu Qian, and whispered: "Madam, someone will take care of Miss Ye after she gets on the ship. You don't have to worry. Let's go back first?"
Mu Qian slowly shook her head.
Qi Yuan paused and then said: "There's a big boat on the boat. You can't see her even if you stand here."
"I can't see her, but she can see me." Mu Qian said, "She will feel at ease only when she sees me."
After hearing this, Qi Yuan just nodded slowly and said nothing more.
Mu Qian refused to leave, and he did not dare to leave for a while, but just stood there with Mu Qian.
Two hours later, the cruise ship's whistle blew and it was ready to set sail.
People on the shore waved goodbye one after another, and on the cruise ship, people could also be vaguely seen saying goodbye to the people on the shore.
I just don’t know if she is among those blurry figures?
Seeing the cruise ship slowly leaving the shore, Mu Qian stood for a moment before finally turning around and leaving the dock.
…
It happened to be lunch time when she returned to the city. Mu Qian didn't have any plans at first. She had nothing to do at the moment, so she simply bought some food and went to Lu Yuan's studio to find her.
When he arrived, Lu Yuan was busy drawing pictures. He suddenly raised his head and saw her. He couldn't help but be startled, "Why did you come up here?"
Mu Qian walked to sit opposite her, put the things in her hands on the table, and said, "I know you are busy recently, so I bought some food and came to have lunch with you."
Lu Yuan put away the tools in front of him, made room, and then opened the things Mu Qian brought.
However, after seeing clearly what Mu Qian had brought, Lu Yuan pondered slightly and looked at her with a straight face, "You're just going to bring these things up to have lunch with me?"
A box of nuts, a portion of Spanish ham, and two bottles of red wine.
Mu Qian glanced at the things she put out, and didn't want to admit that she was absent-minded. She just acted like a baby to Lu Yuan and said, "I think it's enough for us."
Lu Yuan sighed slightly and said, "Fortunately, I brought some food myself. Let's bring it over to eat with you."
After saying that, Lu Yuan got up and walked to the tea room, heated the rice he had brought, and walked over with two cups.
Mu Qian took the two mugs and didn't dislike them. She opened the red wine and poured it into them.
"Drinking at noon?" Lu Yuan vaguely noticed something, "What happened?"
Mu Qian picked up the cup and smelled the wine inside, and then said in a low voice: "Ye Zi is gone."
Lu Yuan paused slightly after hearing this, "Where have you gone?"
"I don't know." Mu Qian said, "Anyway, it's a place I don't know and Ye Jinfan can't find."
"You went to see her off?"
"Yeah." Mu Qian replied.
"Then...have you forgiven her?"
When Mu Qian heard this question, after being quiet for a long time, she just smiled lightly.
"She seems to be considerate, sensible, and considerate, but in fact she has no independent opinions and is easily influenced by other people..." Mu Qian said, "In the current situation, she was sent away like this.
I don’t know how anxious and uneasy she is. If I don’t go to see her off, she will always be in such panic and depressed for the rest of her life. If I go, at least she can feel more at ease. Maybe she will wake up and live a good life in the future..."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan reached out and shook Mu Qian's hand, "In that case, don't think about it anymore."
"Don't worry, I have no other good qualities except being free and easy." Mu Qian picked up the cup in front of her and said, "After drinking this drink, I won't think about it anymore."
After saying that, she clinked glasses with Lu Yuan, then raised her head and drank down the red wine she had just opened.
Lu Yuan looked at her like this and didn't say anything. He just picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Next, she watched helplessly as Mu Qian, a "free and easy" person, drank the rest of the wine alone and successfully made herself drunk.
When Huo Jinxi's call came to Mu Qian's cell phone, Mu Qian was already lying down on the sofa in Lu Yuan's studio. When she heard the phone ring, she was still lying motionless with her eyes closed.
Lu Yuan followed the sound, picked up her phone and took a look at it. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call for her.
Forty minutes later, Huo Jinxi arrived at her simple studio.
After Lu Yuan opened the door for him, he glanced at Mu Qian who was lying on the sofa, and just said "Leave it to you" before returning to his office and closing the door.
When Huo Jinxi heard Lu Yuan say that Mu Qian was drunk on the phone, she didn't believe it at first, but looking at her lying there, it seemed like she was really drunk.
But it's just two bottles of red wine. With her drinking capacity, how can it be that much?
It's just that everyone gets drunk unless they are drunk.
Huo Jinxi walked forward slowly, sat down next to Mu Qian, and stretched out his hand to explore her blushing face.
Her cheeks were so hot that when his originally warm hands touched them, they actually felt a little cold.
Probably because of the coolness, Mu Qian frowned slightly and then opened her eyes.
The moment she saw him, her eyes were a little blurry, and she just muttered: "Is it time for Qi Ran to get out of school?"
"Not yet." Huo Jinxi replied.
"Oh." Mu Qian responded, and then said, "Then I will sleep for a while."
After saying that, she closed her eyes again. Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment before saying, "Go home and sleep again."
Hearing these words, Mu Qian slowly opened her eyes again, looked at him confusedly and quietly for a moment, and then said: "Okay, you take me home."
Huo Jinxi was quiet for a moment, lowered his head, gently kissed her lips, and said, "Okay, I'll take you home."
Mu Qian was still lying on the sofa, looking at him motionless. Huo Jinxi then picked her up from the sofa, held her in his arms, and left the studio.
Lu Yuan sat behind his desk and saw Huo Jinxi hugging Mu Qian and leaving through the transparent door and window, and just smiled faintly.
…
Mu Qian was half-drunk at first, but after being carried into the car by Huo Jinxi, her sleepiness seemed to have disappeared. She was still weak and weak because of her drunkenness, and she still just leaned lazily in Huo Jinxi's arms.
Huo Jinxi put his suit jacket on her body and only told the driver: "Go home."
Mu Qian leaned into his arms and slowly closed her eyes.
At this moment, Huo Jinxi's cell phone suddenly rang. Huo Jinxi picked up the phone, took a look at it, and then answered the call.
Mu Qian was leaning on his chest. She had no intention of listening to his call, but the words "Ye Jinfan" suddenly entered her ears, causing her to open her eyes and go to where Huo Jinxi answered the phone.
He leaned close to his ear.
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes to look at her and just let her go.
After the phone call ended, Mu Qian raised her eyes and looked at him, "What's the trick you used to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
"He's just being smart." Huo Jinxi said lightly.
Mu Qian suddenly laughed, and then said: "I wonder...what does his face look like right now? Such a face that can seduce a little girl..."
As she spoke, she suddenly became quiet, paused for a moment, and then said again: "If Ye Zi knows that he has spent so much effort for her, I'm afraid she will be unsteady again..."
"She won't know." Huo Jinxi said.
"Yeah." Mu Qian responded, and then said, "She is so stupid. She can't let go of a man like Ye Jinfan. She is so stupid..."
Huo Jinxi didn't answer, he just pressed her into his arms so that she could shed tears.
However, unexpectedly, Mu Qian did not shed tears.
She just leaned against him quietly, and after a long time, she said in a low voice: "That scumbag is not even one thousandth as good as you..."
